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 don't think so.
Hold Bitcoin is an investment but not greed, it can increase its value

right and sure holding bitcoin is not greedy because it is an asset and we kept our money in bitcoin for the purpose of investment or increasing our money so I think holding bitcoin is good way for us.

Want some real greedy?  Guys I encourage you to buy IOTA while the price is still reachable , this would rival btc and other alts running from the blockchain. Just try to imagine that you are buying again a great coin on its very low price.

No, its not. Being greedy means being selfish just to get something you desire. In my case i hold bitcoin to get big profit, so that when the time comes that my earning are now big, i can now help my family interms of financiel aspects. And i can now also pay my tuition.
Maybe there are also few greedy bitcoiners here like scammers.

The answer is no and yes, yes if u holding bitcoin and wish it will rise without any chance of depreciate plus you never act to sell some of your coin which means you have a high expectation of it will always profit and think bitcoin as an emergency fund. No if you think it is a part of investment it means going to sell it if the price you seems nearly your expectation and not to keep it in long term.

Make possible of impossible. Turn Good into bad. Your weakness is you strenght.
some of Possitive thinking qoutes.
Being Greedy also have a good side.  As well as pride, where your on a verge of giving up but your pride was too high which makes you to keep moving and forward.  If your not comfortable with the word greedy then think of it as being smart. Besides you wont hodl a coin without a reason.
You just need balance 👌👌

Mostly if you are good at getting 200% profit then you can sell it and gain profit. expecting more will be a hit or miss and you have to prepared to take full or half.

If you are holding, there is a chance of loosing. Thats not a secret and a risk we are all aware of.

I think most people who earned A LOT from bitcoin have withdrawn some of it, to increase their lifestyle and make sure there is some gain from their investment. While keeping most of it as a further investment.

But yeah greed can cost you a lot of money... but greed is also what made bitcoin investors rich in the first place

I think its not a greed. Its more of believing what bitcoin can do to improve our transactions through blockchain since its potential is great. For the HODLers there who are millionaires right now, its almost  Christmas so share a blessing.😁 Cheers

The question you should ask yourself; is holding gold or USD greedy? If not then I don't think holding bitcoin is a greed! And by the way, here is what the definition of the greedy in the marketing world - “Greed is but a word jealous men inflict upon the ambitious.” — Marcus Licinius Crassus

Holding bitcoin doesn't mean being greedy. It's more on the strategy about how to get more profits from bitcoin. People who hold bitcoin for a long period are the winner since they aren't afraid of losing or taking any risks. If you thought that you get nothing by holding bitcoin, then actually have lost.

It depends on how you see it. But to be honest, I do not know what is the maximum point wherein you can say you are being too greedy when all you are after for is to earn money to support your loved ones. Can we insert here the saying that the end does not justify the means? But then again, is it a crime to hold Bitcoins? Is holding Bitcoins a sin per se? What if Bitcoin's value is not what its value is today, say, something of least value, is holding the same with least value still being greedy? Or are we being quantitative on the definition of greedy?

now people only buy bitcoin and are waiting for its growth! when they start to sell, they will immediately fall in price!
Bitcoin has passed the time where it was in risk of losing its value, bitcoin now continuously increase in value and people are not going to dump this coin ever baldy. They just cash it out when bitcoin is at the peak of pumping stage, just to enjoy some profit. The dumps are used as an opportunity by people for collecting the most expensive coin at cheap rates. In short, bitcoin is not going to badly fall in prices ever now.

Technically speaking, Bitcoins has no security if they rise or they drop because it's a decentralized digital currency. Holding a Bitcoin is like betting from a game because you will never know if you will win or lose. If they keep bitcoins it's just mean that they have hopes that Bitcoin could rise it's value and yes, they already accepted the fact that they could even lose and the high risk is there. So i don't think it's being greedy, it is being risky and hopeful.

I want to be neutral here cause I think that there are times that it can be considered as greedy due to the fact that we want to maintain and maximize our bitcoin and because of that we sound like a greedy person. But when you look at the bright or the positive side it is more like a strategy to users to avoid expenses and to earn more income and be able to save money for emergency purposes or many more.

P.S. always remember that maintaning your money is also risky. So you might want to consider to balance everything

Holding your bitcoin is not greedy, you might be saving it for rainy days... we don't what future holds to us so that's why I'm holding my bitcoin also so that I can use something right away in case of emergency. While holding it for a while I'm sure it will double it's amount so it's just like I'm earning a living while waiting or while holding.

Not greed, but prudence) there is no point in selling an asset that over time only increases its value.
