HODL or REGRET!!!

[greatfariola]

I totally agree. Holding 100% til the very end of the trend will be too risky and gains might suddenly be lost. It's far better to secure a portion of gains and let the rest run until targets are hit.

My advise - earlier i made lots errors by trading...sold to early like you, but later I learned. Nobody know when the price will go back down..If coin is pumping, i sell just 50% of amount i have, second 50% I don't touch .Never. Just in force-major cases. With this strategy i have less regrets.

That's a great information and clearly explanation, Maybe i will all of your doing about some trading.
I know its too risky to doing that but i will doing on it.

No, it is way too risky to just hodl your alts. For bitcoin it will work, but for altcoin just use trailing stop loss -10-15% if you see 2-3x profits. Don't be greedy, this is a volatile market and you could get away with nothing. It is same thoughts why I didn't buy BTH at 400 usd, just useless regrets.

[Rayner77]

Now that you mentioned it, I guess alt coins aren't that established and stable as Bitcoin so safer to not hold for too long.

Add me on the regret part as i sold my xvg bag few hours before pump...And now price went x10 and here i am thinking about it last few days why did i sell instead hodl,this cost me about 10k$ but only good thing from this is that i minned it while the difficulty was low instead buying it.Win some lose some

[ajmapalo22]

I used to experience regret so many times because of panic selling whenever bitcoin value drops and I really feel so bad when I see bitcoin value pump after selling my bitcoin I admit I don't have so much trust with bitcoin and I always feel anytime it will crashed and lose its value but after experiencing those things I learn now that's why even the value of bitcoin is dropping now I'm still holding my coins and wait till it pump again

I have 500 EMC2.. where i am loosing money.. What should i do.. should i HODL or Sell it?

[rhamzter]

In my opinion, I guess it's better if they sell it immediately our coins when it was fall down. Because if they hold it for long term there's a possibility that they were gain losses, other than that if they make a wrong decision during selling of bitcoin or any other crypto currency. We just need to accept the fact that they can make wrong thinking maybe we regret or not acceptance can set our free.

[abvhiael]

indeed the hodl issue is good for some alt i don't know much about xvg if there is a potential for this coin and it has a respectable traction among crypto world.

Can someone please explain: why "hodl"? Why not "hold"? Does hodl mean hold or what?

[BaeNaNa]

You bought it again this time after it's already pumped? i'm a bit afraid to buy something that already increase a lot, especially if the increase only took 1 day to happen. I also have a similiar story, but for me it's bitshare, i bought it at 1300 sathosi and wait 1 week without movement, decided to sell it and three days later the price went up until 3000 satoshi.

[Siopao]

Well Sir erickkyut have said it right. It must be treated as lesson learned. Even if we know for a fact that cryptocurrency have a very volatile value we sometimes tend and triggered to sell our investment coin for personal reasons. It's a tough truth that we sometimes learn the hard way. Maybe you can change your strategy, if you're thinking of selling your coins dont go all the way. Leave some, maybe 40% - 60% that way when the price gies up you still have some coins that you hold in which you can sell for higher value.

It should be hold but there was one time when a drunk member of a forum (I don't know if it is this forum) accidentally posted HODL instead of HOLD and since then, people are now using the term HODL. They have the same meaning.

I also do crazy things like you, I sold Genesis Coin 1 week ago and now the price of Genesis craze, I'm very sorry to have sold a coin that has good potential

I'm really disappointed with myself now because of Verge. Way back June 2017, I bought $200 worth of XVG and I sold it last week a day before the pump happened. It could be worth more than $5k now if I just HODL. Well, I need to move on and learn from this mistakes. This will be a lesson for me to have patience and wait for the right time to sell my coins. The reason why I sold it was because I need more funds to buy another coin. I'm happy with the coin I bought because I can now see that it is now starting to pump. Maybe, I'm just half disappointed every time I'm seeing the current value of Verge. I bought some XVG again and will surely hold it this time. I hope that this experience of mine can be a good example for everyone especially the newbies in this community.

Sometimes, we have done mistakes in decision. Cheer up it's not too late to hodl a coin if you believe it would pump as you've expected. Im gonna hodl my tokens now like EQL and SGR maybe they have the potential for making me rich. But too much expectations would break our hearts in the end if it's not gonna happen.

I made this decision a very long time ago when I learnt my lessons. There is no point being in a haste if you are an investor and you believe in a coin. Most of these coins will do better than they are right now in the nearest future. If I am not buying when there is a very good opportunity right now, I have told myself that one thing. HODL!

for sure i will hold iota for a years or atleast half of years. i believe it will sky rocket in few month and i dont want to regret to sell iota undervalue. i been regret my decision to sell ripple on 0.4$ now its almost 1$ thats my biggest decision for me

Do you believe Iota will go big in coming few months or not?

[Iyanu14]

Actually currencies are good to hold , i don't sell of my coin untimely anymore not to regret my actions later, though when i started and was very inexperienced i flip my coins immediately the coin dips.

[Qrivium]

There is no one size fits all approach.  Depends on your timeline, what your risk level is.  some freak when things go down a few points

I'm also holding IOTA. Actually it is one of the coins that I believe has very good potential in the future. Yes it will go big this coming few months. Aside from that, I also belive in Xtrabytes. It is still undervalued. Buy now while its price is very cheap. This one, I will surely hold it no matter what happens.
