Anyone else think "long term" hodlers are idiots?

[Johnyz]

The price history of Bitcoin shows that hodlers always earn money. Whether there will be another, even bigger bull run, no one knows. However, in my opinion, sooner or later, we will have new ATH and the hodlers will win again.

Same happened for several currencies for example you may have seen the price chart of ethereum or litecoin and for these coins you will be able to see that  they gave a good profit to their holders.

I can personally prove this one right now since I do bought some ETH during its $100 run. I hold for a month and the price made a good profit to me. We have different good reason to hold and if you don’t find your own yet better to analyze well. Hodlers are not idiot, they believe in something good.

Exactly! Most hodlers do not look only on market situation, but on coin potential. Only those who are looking for fast profit will not understand that. Cryptocurrencies are not only for speculation, but thats are financial instruments that with every year gain bigger adoption, and with adoption will also come higher price.

I think long terms holders are asset on the crypto-currency community instead of idiots. If you are not a long term holder of crypto then you should not an asset and hence you should be a curse for the community.

Trader who holding their coin for longterm is more than smart compared to the people who not hold their coin and choosed to sold their coin. I don't think we are idiot because we hold coin because as for me I want my life to become better.

We cannot say that way, those who sell as long as they are in profit that time, they are still smart.
Our only purpose is to sell at a profit, so the timing could be different as we have different target when it comes to profit making.

I don't think we are idiot because we hold coin because as for me I want my life to become better.

Let them think we are idiot, and let's prove them we are wrong, the right time will come.

not in the long run. shitcoins only are profitable for the scammers that "invented" them to sell them to you to get your bitcoin.

I think it's way more complicated

For example, if someone wins the lottery, is he smart or not? If you ask me, I think that winning the lottery only proves that you are lucky. But if you are then able not to waste the money and put it to work in a meaningful and purposeful way, you prove to be a smart guy indeed. In the earlier days, Bitcoin was very much like lottery, and many people were just lucky to turn up in the right place at the right time. Whether they were able to keep this wealth and not waste it is another question, though

Further, for many people it is not about selling at a profit (or at least not just about it). A lot of people now use Bitcoin for quite a few purposes which are completely unrelated to speculation (for example, the unbanked ones using it for remittances), and they may not care so much for the price of Bitcoin (read, you cannot even always tell if they are selling for a profit or loss when and if they have to sell). Are they smart or not in your system of values? To me, they are clearly outside it (though they may still be smart on their own)

If you look at charts throughout history you will certainly see that charts like waves, will rise and fall. so it's normal if the price is below, but we know the price will definitely be high again someday. Patient! keep believing holders always benefit

Hey I too don’t believe that people who hodl for the long term are idiots, in fact I feel the long term holders are visionary’s who are seeing the bigger picture, that small term holders are ignoring. If people study bitcoins price history then they’ll understand that, those who have held it for the long term are the ones who have made profits. I have always recommended that it’s best to ignore short term fluctuations, and hold it for bigger gains.

[Bitcoinsummoner]

Those people who tell that long term holders are idiot I am not sure who they are and also who are the real idiot those people holding for long term or those people who are telling idiot.

I don't think we should call long term holders idiots and that's because everyone has its own way to invest its money. Some might prefer to make a small profit after a few weeks while others prefer to wait a longer time and don't worry everyday about what's happening to their investments.

[Ahab_Hunter_of_BearWhale]

Keep calm and HODL on

Long-term investment is one of the most promising passive income techniques because it has proven to provide many benefits. An example is that HODL bitcoin investors since 2000 and sell their assets in 2017, have become millionaires.
But for traders who like crypto price fluctuations, they are certainly happy to trade every day because it is more challenging and profits can be enjoyed in a short time. But strong mentality is needed because pressure and emotion are sometimes a determining factor.

The truth is that everyone thinks that what they are doing is the right way of doing things, traders think that what they are doing will get them more profits and faster while investors believe that traders are taking too much risks when they can get very easy profits by basically doing nothing and just holding their coins, the truth is that they are both right they just have different approaches when it comes to making money in the market and we need to choose the one that fits our personality in the best way.

Keep calm and HODL on 

You are right, we should hold good item and wait for a good rate & we should not sell until it reach on our goal, it will be a wise decision and for that price also will increase.

Well, I am one of those who thinks holding assets is a pretty good way depending on the conditions. maybe there will be a time when we need to sell some of the assets we have. but, when it hasn't been seen, holding for long periods of time is not stupid thinking.

[BUK2016]

Am sure your thinking about long term holders is one sided and is the reason you are using such insultive word on long term holders. I know that you didn't take into consideration those who are holders of crypto coins since the year 2013 till this moment, will you still use such word for them or you don't even believe such people exist.

[Bonsaiav]

Funny how every time the market is in a recession and losers keep holding on to their losses they magically become "long term" holders.

God damn it, "long term" is such a stupid meme. Admit it, you wanted to get rich quick and once you realised you are too dumb to swing trade you suddenly became a "long term" loser.

Such idiocity.

You think Dan Balzerian held anything "long term"?

Long term is for losers.

In the world of cryptocurrency, there are various ways for a person to gain success and usually based on their skills and experiences, there are those who go through short-term investment channels and long-term investments, or there are also those who trade, gambling, etc. All of these will provide a distinct advantage for the perpetrators, provided they understand how cryptocurrencies work.

No problem you call us losers, the fact's that the long term often produces positive things. For example positive thinking, guessing and hoping, only the good can change the market situation towards a better one. You don't need to be prejudiced (gossiping) bad, about the ways / strategies that other people do in achieving success.
Have you ever been prejudiced bad, with what have you done yourself?

Wow didn't read this one yet, one of the most stupid writings on the forum perhaps
I'm a long term HODLer, whats wrong with that, i have bought early 300's so i'm still in good profit, but I still HODL. WHY?

-cause I have a long term thought for the succes of BTC to achieve...
-cause I wanna live with BTC, use it to buy and transact for things, that why I have a cold storage HODL and some BTC for useage
-of-course if i knew 20K was dropping to 3-4K-ish then I would of sold and bought back to have more, but no crystal ball in my possession
-long term HODLer as simultaneity accumulator, so its HODL and buying converting when possible
-Dan Balzerian, like WTF dude are you high and simple minded? "(don't answer, retorical question)
- and so on ..... don't know why spending time on this....

But hey man take it easy and don't mix yourself with BTC, see you later in the damn why didn't I bought and HODLed thread LoL
