Is holding bitcoin Greedy?

[Zorbak]

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?

I do not think at all it is greedy, most of people who hold it it is because they beleive in this project and as it is money, holding it it is a way to save money for when it is needed. The actual fiat system does not allow you to save money since inflation makes you loose value every single day.

What if holders end up with nothing? Well no one can know it, that is why the gold rule of any investment it is to invest what you can afford to loose

It can not be considered as greedy but could be considered as a wise decision. People are here to make the profit and as the bitcoin value is rapidly increasing, it might touch the sky in the next few years. So it is better to hold the coins for future profit than selling them for short term profit.

I don't agree that holding Bitcoin is being greedy. Bitcoin can be considered as both asset and currency. I personally treat Bitcoin as a long-term investment which will pay off in the near future. Bitcoin has a great potential to become a widely used currency. I use it to pay for my electricity bills. I have to say that paying with Bitcoin is quite convenient and easier than bank transfers.

Of course it is not. If you don't hold someone else will hold the coins you sent out. As a matter of fact, bircoin is quite centralized when it comes to wealthy distribution and the fact that its price is rising does not change that all that much. 1% of the top addresses hold 99% of all BTC or something like that. Check out the address rich list for proof of that.

[richardsNY]

Yes, it is quite greedy to keep Bitcoins, man. But at the moment, just until the time comes

Oh, are you sad that not many people are willing to unload their coins so that you can enter the market at lower levels? I have seen quite some people complain about holders in the way that they believe it's against Bitcoin, that it's harming the Bitcoin economy, that there won't be much coins left for others, etc. None of the provided arguments hold any value thus far, and this thread is definitely not an exception. Holders should be getting a lot more respect for the fact that they aren't willing to sell their coins by massive amounts, because if they would, this market would sink deeper than the titanic.

You are exactly right, if we don't hold some one else will hold the coins we sent out.
all needs are based on priorities but bitcoin is also a priority asset for young stars.
holding bitcoin is not a greed its a pride.

[Bounty_Hunter]

Holders hardly get nothing, the market is growing rapidly and soon the price 7,500$ per bitcoin it will seem to us fantastic, (like at now to us seems fantastic price of$2,000)

Well, as for me I don't see it as being greedy as you rightly put it, but i see such decision as the best investment decision for one to make in his or her life time. Remember that even though the decision backfired, there is always room for such event in any investment decision one take in most cases. An investor has to be fully aware of the risk involved before taken an investment decision, so whoever is holding Bitcoin at the moment is fully aware of the possible outcome.

Its an asset mate, its not a greed. We are buying it through fiat currency and its not cheap to buy one these days. so why greed?

Being human we're already greedy. The fact that we want more than whatbwe havebis greedy in itself. Well about holding, that's just the smart move of handling your investment. Everything is a risk with investments. It's all upto you if you hold your bitcoins or sell it. You may sell it too early and gain little or hold it too long and get maximum gain. You never really end up with nothing because you will know if it dumps you sell.

Greed is a large factor in holding we all want to see bitcoin go as high as possible but with selling before it reaches its peak we would always think we could of had that much some who have sold from early days must feel this.

I think it is not greedy, they are just being wise to keep their investment. In fact we have the right to decide on our own. Holding bitcoin is their choice, if their investment ends up with nothing, it was their problem not ours.

How do you know when the peak comes. Someone said, bitcoin will be the highest right before its end. I think this end would mean something revolutionary again.

No, Holding bitcoin is not greedy at all. Let's just assume that holding your bitcoin for a long term is like saving your money in the bank with a high interest. Holding your asset for long term because you knew that it will have more value in the future was the smartest way to earn huge profit. The same thing when you buy Gold when the price was cheap, and then sell it when the price was high. The only one I would call greedy if you're doing a trade with leverage for example like trading forex and stock with high leverage x2 - x5 or more.

knowing that greedy things in others is not easy,not to judge people from the outside only, beyond our knowledge, diya many charities help each other to love each other. which is important we think positively to everyone.

[scottykarate]

Why else would one HODL bitcoin other than to profit?
Yes, the decentralization part is great, but at this time it seems like most people are treating it as an investment and it is currently giving great returns.

Actually, if holding bitcoin for too long must emerge the risk will be both small and large Because many miners who have lost his property.But in fact the case depends on the behavior of everyone who can be careful or not in every action.

It's just like saying working for your income is greedy, hell no because that's what your life depends on and so working hard to earn bitcoin and hold them as an investment should not be thought of as greed but rather a blessing to the lives of your family.

Holding bitcoin is not being greedy but being wise. You are just wise because you are believing that bitcoin will pump. So i think there is no greediness when it comes to holding bitcoin.

I think holding bitcoin is not that greedy, because you only want to maximize the worth of bitcoin, being greedy is when you also want to scam other holders, so that your bitcoin count will go up, it's being both greedy and evil.
