Why people are holding Bitcoin?

[minizi99]

My wife wanna travel with the money i can get from bitcoins, i told her this investment i wont moove until 2020, the next bitcoin halving where i do expect bitcoin around 5000 dollars or even more, she doesnt care and we had discussed, i dont wanna to use my coins, since i believe it will be more valuable over time, my childs can take advantage of bitcoin on the next 5-10 years.

Money is always a difficult topic to discuss with your partner but you need to try to make her understand the importance of what you are doing, you can use your bitcoin to obtain short term benefits or you can use it to obtain long term benefits, if you explain things to her, maybe she will understand.

I would prefer to take a loan in this case than to spend bitcoin. The loan can then be given away, and the spent bitcoin can not be returned.
In general, the investor should not change the strategy and abandon the earlier adopted plan

I think Bitcoin lending can be very detrimental. The fact is that Bitcoin is not that kind of money. What was the real currency called. You can take Bitcoin on credit and the abyss.

What makes people compel to hold the bitcoin in this critical situation? What are they waiting for? Any good reason?

People have many reason why they are holding bitcoins maybe they are waiting for a higher value of bitcoin before they sell it and maybe they are planning to save it for the future of their kids or for their future or maybe they want to buy something expensive so they are earning lots of btc before they sell it

Personally I’m holding bitcoin not only for the chance they get more valuable in the future, but because I think in the future a great deal of the economy is going to move in bitcoins, so I’m preparing for that day, also I think that if an economic crisis comes to happen like the one in the 2007 I think bitcoin could be  a way to save yourself a lot of trouble, so that is another great feature of bitcoin.

I was admire on what you said sir, maybe I just follow on your steps. For now I have only a little count of bitcoin on my wallets. But because of your speculation regarding to the future I think I opened my eyes on the reality of life. I think it is the time to save a lot of bitcoin for my future.

Well ive been thinking of this economic crisis scenario and governments
and/or banks decide to freeze peoples bank accounts and/or restrict
access to them like what happened in Greece not too long ago.

So we all have Bitcoin and other Crypto and we cannot withdraw funds
from our bank accounts, how do we buy food and other supplies?

Anyway im holding crypto and Bitcoin for the future to either spend or
as a retirement fund.

The answer is simple, bitcoin has already build its reputation as one of the strongest or I may say the only credible digital currency now.  It has been proven that it is a good investment as its price goes up as years passed by.  There are times that it goes down but if you will compare the price from the year it started to its price right now, the price is beyond imaginable.  Some regrets the fact that they just wasted a huge amount of bitcoin as they can become millionaire right now if they just keep them.

Basically this, we in the forum may know about tens of coins and we know them by name and what they do but for the rest of the people if they know of a cryptocurrency I’m sure that 99% of them are going to mention Bitcoin, bitcoin is the only crypto that has staying power, and that is why we save in bitcoin, I’m willing to sell any of my alts at any moment but that does not apply to bitcoin.

If there is a critical situation on bitcoin, it is a good chance to buy more bitcoin because people believe if holding bitcoin now, it will get a very good profit in the future.

[Mr. Legendaris]

Certainly a lot of reasons, for me to hold bitcoin only for a better future purpose, because now almost all investments are not profitable so I choose bitcoin.

[Diablesfunis]

There's a lot of reasons why people holding bitcoin. The fact that bitcoin supply is limited that makes the price go up is one of the reason. Your bitcoin worth more as time goes on. It's a good investment, even better than gold.

[Arkann]

Despite the fact that after the bitcoin rate has risen, its price starts to decline, in the long run its rate is constantly growing and serves as a good investment for obtaining a significant profit. Therefore, people, realizing the profitability of such an investment, keep their money in bitcoin. Rational decision.

[kpcian]

I think there are a lot of options for holding Bitcoin. for me, the main point is for the future purpose. if today anyone can be able to hold some Bitcoin then it will provide a lot of profit in the future. so it can be considered as one of the major saving platforms.

this must be a rational decision for holding Bitcoin for a couple of months.

[Skieleton]

Because it is still growing in strength . 7.00 AM BTC will reach the price of 3100 $. This is a very good investment for this moment.

[yrreg ger]

... the price fall is more than the rise

WRONG.
you need to look at the bigger picture.
right now you are just looking at a short period of time where bitcoin price has came down a little. if you look at a couple of months you can see a rise from ~$880 to $2900 and right now it is sitting between $2200-$2400.

even if it falls more it will still be much much higher than the couple of months ago.

with that said, did you get your answer to why people hold bitcoin

I agree. Bitcoin price drops to a very low value few years ago. But it was able to recover and now its on the way to $3000. As long as people continue to use this cryptocurrency it is possible that it will still rise its price. And people are just waiting for the right time they think they can earn the amount they want through converting bitcoin. They're holding it up to now because they think it is not the right time yet. Still patience is the key to this.

It has something to do with law of supply and demand. The demand for bitcoin is high since it is very popular currency for online transactions.Since bitcoin is limited to 21 million, by keeping it (hoarding) in large volume will make the price too high.

I think the previous user was talking about taking a loan on fiat and not a loan on bitcoin, but the truth is that I do not like the idea of being indebted, having debt is just another form of slavery where you need to use your time and effort to benefit someone else.

[agatha818]

even if its falling and the price been down, a lot of people hold their bitcoin because they believe it will rise, they hold their bitcoin for their future retirement and profit from it.

[Layyla]

Peoples are holding BTC because they are waiting it to grow up and make some money, also they can invest in mining and get double.

[Jmmerquita]

people are holding bitcoin because it has a cap up to 21 millions of coins. Can you imagine the value of BTC right now @ $3,249 as of now and the supply is around 16 million.. There are 7 billion people in the world. I am excited for the real value for Bitcoin.

[TheNextChampion]

People hold bitcoin because they see that this coin have a potential to growth. If you have many bitcoin that you buy and hold in the past at the low price. You have a good amount of growth considering bitcoin reach another milestone. Another thing is bitcoin can make you rich if you have bought in the past.
