Most people now with the rise of bitcoin value, just want to hold bitcoin for as long as they can so that they can maximize their worth. But isn't it a little too greedy to just keep holding bitcoin?
We've all read that story in the school with the moral "Greed is a Curse".
So what if too much greed in bitcoin may backfire? What if, the hodlers end up with nothing?
Holding Bitcoin is sometimes a greedy thing. We can not deny that without greed we may not have Bitcoin.
There is a positive side that we can take and there are some negative side that we can avoid when Holding Bitcoin.
I will continue to try to take advantage of Holding Bitcoin because when we can use it then we can get satisfactory results.

If that's the definition of greedy then any money making activity would be, trading alts, join ICO etc. I hodl bitcoin to gain appreciation, not about short term and long term, in a world where crypto might change completely this is way of hedging the risk.

No one isn't greedy, people are always foolish before the huge profits that bitcoin brings to them, like them I really also become stupid in front of its value.

Holding bitcoins isn't necessarily considered as a greedy act. It just so happens that people see it as a good investment of their money. For me, I can consider an act of greed is when something is being distributed for everyone as free and someone wants it all or more than what others are getting. Or when someone, for example a politician, who will use the tax money for his personal usage.

Exactly and even though we all want to be rich from investing in bitcoin and the word rich connotes greed, it is often treated as a definitional problem and not that all rich people are greedy. Greed generally is amassing all for one's own self whiles others get none and i don't think that is what holding bitcoin represents.

some people say greedy and some people say smart thinking
if you think that what peoples did is greedy, sell all your bitcoin or half of your bitcooin to me with a lower price..don't be a greedy Cheesy

bitcoin price is very fluctuative..it can be rise $100k or more and sometime it can be down to $500, they're only take advantage from market with smart thinking in a perfect time and a brave speculation.

it's all is up to your goal...do you want take advantage from fluctuative market or do you want to hold your bitcoin and hoping bitcoin will rise?? or you want do both of them..don't forget about the risk too, because I'm sure they keep hold bitcoin with all risk to take too Smiley

I think holding Bitcoin is the opposite to greedy you are happy with the amount you have and are holding for a higher price where as trading your looking for more.

No its not. Its just being wise enough knowing that there are more important matter in the future for you to withdraw your bitcoins. Its way better than spending it all to all your desires, so if you think its greediness then so be it who cares, you are just saving it for more necessary stuff in your life

Greed will always make us lose, but if you hold with a good calculation, you will still be able to benefit at moments like this. I personally keep bitcoin and do not sell everything, I just sell a few percent of the bitcoin I have and more I hold. If at some point this price will crash, then I'm ready to accept it because I have gotten a good profit with bitcoin I sold before.

I don’t believe it at all. Its not greed really but its patience that will pay you in the future and greed would be trading bitcoin for big money without waiting for the time to grow it. See there are many ways of getting greed but there are only few ways of actually implementing your skills of getting this done by having “patience”.


People who store there bitcoin are actually creating real worth because the market get sustained like that having basic market capitalism preserved. That is where whales actually work out. Its big thing that many of them holding the bitcoin.

there is nothing wrong if we want to maximize what we have now, the profit or loss it depends on how we see the condition of the market, whether it will be profitable or not. saving it for a long time is the right thing to do to get the expected profit.

No, ofcourse not. Blame the people, Because keeping the bitcoin is an interesting thing. Suspended when its value fluctuates abnormally, and this is one of the things I like about bitcoin.

I do not think that it is greedy to HODL bitcoin, people all around the world hold different assets in different classes, every human has the right to be able to make investments and hold them until they either reach their goal or desired profit outcome.

I think its not, keeping bitcoin is a good idea but not a sin. First of all its yours. And no one has a right to get you own bitcoin.

We can't guess the price of Bitcoin all time. It can be high and can be low for some reason. But in this time, price of Bitcoin is increasing rapidly. Holding bitcoin now is best way to earn. If you have hesitation with it, you can go for trading.

Some people are holding their because of their greediness but generally people who are holding their bitcoins had difficulty in earning bitcoins. That's why these people do not trade their bitcoin. This is not  greediness. It is just a proof of losing fear.

In most cases when we talk about holding Bitcoins, greed is not the case. If we don't need money in this moment, than holding is best option. Holding to point when you need money is right thing to do, but I can agree that there is possibility that it could backfire. Small possibility, because it would mean that price of Bitcoin is going low, and fast. Also it would be alright to hold unto some point that you have set, when you would sell your Bitcoins. Most of people today buy Bitcoin out of its perspective, but we can say greed too.

We see things differently, and we can't just all do things the same way, though you made a point of it being risky of lose but in the same vein it could be an advantage of rising for a better yield, to those who hold bitcoin for long, not holding it may by likewise termed as greed. So it depends on how it pays any user. They must prepare to bear the loss if it comes.

I will not really say it is greed, I will say it is smart. This is making plans for the future with the help of today. For me I sell cause I need the money and that is why I work with the crypto currency, but I don't sell all of it cause I have plans for the future.
