Is holding bitcoin Greedy?

[Dewi08]

I think investors will sell Bitcoin in the early 2018. Because, as you know, there is many people borrow money with high-interest rate to invest Bitcoin. Therefore, they can't wait too long. They have to finish soon to repayment and get profit.

I really agree with you, certainly bitcoin prices will be much different from the current price, maybe it will be more above the current price, many people predict that bitcoin price will touch 10.000 $, and surely everyone will supply their bitcoin until the highest price bitcoin ...

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?

It is not greedy holding bitcoin is a wise decision as it makes the demand high thus its value also.

Holding bitcoin for to long is not being greedy, i think it is a wise decision for me because as long as you hold it for long time since the value of bitcoin is increase even more everytime, it can make you to get high profit through bitcoin.

That isn't true though for the most part, people need to also use bitcoin for making trades for it to be worth anything. If nobody actually used it to buy services and products then it would be less valuable.

At some point if you only hold bitcoin you could end up with nothing(as in BTC segwit1x being worth nothing). I think 2x or somethign else will come along and take away a lot of value from segwit1x. We can see transactions not getting confirmed and fees being 5 to 10 USD are a bad sign.

we can see at certain points that BTC costs a lot of fees to use and that will drive people away from using it, causing less adoptions of BTC in the long term. Short term it is doing well now. It needs a size increase as most people aren't using segwit transactions and will continue to not use them.

I have learned that the best strategy for " big" alts is to take 5-10% profits rather than get greedy and get burned.
But for relative long time investments I think that it would be wise to make sell order in range where you have some profit.

It depends on entry level , because of nature of btc stock market  often sell order is bad if your entry level is close to sell order.

yes i agree on that if we only hold it until for ever nothing will happen on itmaube we can sell of we think that was really the right time to sell because holding is only a kind of strategy and we need to sell it if the price goes high .i believe that holding btc n is not greedy it is an strategic way of doing btc to make it profitable in ths near future because bitcoin price is really un predictable.

Being greedy is dangerous in trading and it can destroy your balance if you cant control your emotions. Maybe price will hit 10000$ after few months. Who knows? But rules in trading are simple: Keep it simple stupid with buying low,selling high.

Holding bitcoin is for a purpose and that's to make a profit. But making money is not a matter of greed, it's a way to survive. Wanting too much, that's greedy. So holding bitcoin too long hoping it will be worth millions, that you could say is greedy.   

[BTCMILLIONAIRE]

Once you start screwing with others to make profits at their expense you would be greedy.

If you just like taking high risks for high profits that's perfectly legitimate though, as long as it doesn't involve screwing other people over.

Bitcoin was intended to be a currency which means it should be spent. However, it is now being used like gold i.e just an investment, so yes it is being greedy and should be spent

I cannot find the  logic of being greedy when one person is holding his Bitcoin.  Being greedy is wanting something that is not his own.  And this is far from different from holding investment to wait for the right time to sell it.  I think the right term for this is being patient not being greedy.   Since it will nullify the fact that a person bought Bitcoin as investment to profit from it from the price increase if he sold it as soon as he received it.

it is not greedy. Btc is profitable so People are trying to hold them. Buy BTC at deep and sell them when price will become High..

The misconception for greed is that we usually see it as something negative. But it doesn’t always go that way. Greed can also mean good. It depends on the purpose of the person. If a person is doing something for self gain, then we can say that this person is greedy. But if his purpose is to invest for his and his family’s future, then I wouldn’t say that is greed. Come to think of it, I believe that each of us has the option to be greedy at some point..

[Twinscoin2017]

Well i believe  it is not an act like a greedy motives it is just like a simple strategy leading into the  big huge profit maube some people said that holding byc is  greedy  bit on my own way of observation bitcoin really works and more profitable if you are going to make hold on it because selling it everynow and then maybe didnt have any way to get big profit wr really need to reffer the price and its status .that is why holding is really a  good way in gaininh profit in bitcoin.

I think this is not greed, more precisely a strategy. Waiting for some time to gain better momentum is a strategy. Saving bitcon without any strategy will not produce anything. Usually people who have the analysis and strategy in determining how the direction of bitcoin price movement then he will be a successful person.

Agree, your definitely right there no wrong in holding bitcoin for the future especially if you can hold it for futural purposes. Maybe they misinterpret the meaning of greedy, because being greedy is only for the people who gambled. But in terms of investing greedy is not the right term, maybe you'll become practical and wise because you want to earn some income.

[Miderian]

Not greedy I would say that person who hold is smart.
There is nothing bad to make your investment larger.

[dystectic]

No it is not because why should it be it is your money you can do whatever you want with it if someone wants to sell it let them sell if you do not want to sell it then don't no one can call you greedy for holding your own money.

Be greedy, mate... in a good way. You are not hurting anyone, you are not depriving anyone of opportunities, you are not exploiting anyone, when you are holding Bitcoins. There is no violation or crime or offense you are committing if you hold as much Bitcoins as you can. That is a good and legal investment. But be greedy with a mind. Do not just become a blind greedy person who wants everything without thinking.

[prem1852]

why you think it is greedy! see the market depth and try to buy at low price but don't sell your coin at low price. try to sell with a minimum profit. that's all.

We live in a market dominated by the predatory capitalist system. It has always awarded to those who possess more things as the true winners of life. While it is true that the original idea of bitcoin was to undermine the current system, the entry of big capital here has made bitcoin another good desirable for everyone, so the desire to hold bitcoin is only a natural consequence of that.
