Holding will be a risk or not??

[dewi91]

anything what you doing in crypto currency have a risky, but you should believe if bitcoin will give you many advantages in the future.. if you want to hold your coin, don't get panic when bitcoin price goes down, just continue to hold until bitcoin price reach very high price and then you can sell it..

[chuoinguyen227]

Bitcoin is very risky, which is evident in what you said, the bitcoin value is very unstable, it pumps up very fast and the dump is the same, and this greatly affects the altcoin 

[Caesar-Giulius]

Definitely, there will be risks in investing. I believe in bitcoin and I am holding as well.

If you feel good about Bitcoin, of course you can buy more, but buy within your means.

[Reid]

Purchase and hold then keep on doing that until you reach a certain amount that you are satisfied with.
You already said it. It can reach high amounts which cannot be done by other commodities or currencies so expectations are really high with bitcoin. With that, more investors will come again as time flies by.

As indicated by predictions bitcoin should have achieved 15k$ by end of 2017 and fall in first week of jan 2018

In any case, shockingly its effectively reached 17k$ in 2017.

Should I purchase or hold my btc?I don't plan to sell at any point in the near future.

I think it's wise to keep holding, and in my view the bitcoin will rise to about $50,000, and then the bubble will come.

[Sophia29]

Holding bitcoin is good for long-term hold, and it is risky as Bitcoin price can change daily abd the range of buying and selling is too big, so every time the price greatly down its like a heart attack,
Trading is risky holding it for long is not not that too risky

[Ma Nancy]

There is no risk in holding btc but investing is a very risky act, you will get scammed or etc.

[Bes19]

investing could be risky but holding your bitcoin will never be a risk. For me, it depends on you if you're going to hold it or sell ot if you think you already earn twice as what you invest. But for me holding bitcoin for atleast 2 years or so would be good coz it's price stability is really there.

[ardyology]

I don't mind HODLing as long as I know about my investment. It pays to read a lot and verify every information because knowledge about my portfolio somehow minimizes the risk. It also helps that I diversify my portfolio. Admit it, everything is bubble including this universe. But yeah, you just need to have some faith and it could help you go places.

[Salesman4coinZ]

I tried to trade. I made a lot of Profit with trading. But i would made more profik when i was just holding the Bitcoins. So Holding is the better way. When your holding and the coin is falling 20%, everbody is getting in panic. But its just for the moment and most the time to coin wil rise again. So holding is not risky.

Hi,

What do you expect exactly as an answer? If you are not planning to sell in the near future then, of course, you should hold your btc! Risks are quite low... As selling now would mean losing money, then just wait until you are ensured to make a profit!

And, as you say, it was possible to expect such downward moves after the ups of the end of 2017... So let's wait until it rises again!

[Lintel]

Investing in bitcoin is a risk, as the value can crash tomorrow.
I'm holding too so far, I believe in what bitcoin represents, so I'm taking the risk. Don't invest more than what you can afford to lose however, but if you can, you should buy more.
Also have a look in other cryptocurrencies.

Every investment is risky. It is just like when you are starting to put uo your own business. It might gonna fail or earn an income. Yeah, it ia true, invest only the thing you can afford to lose so that it is not really ha4d for you to accept when it doesn't work. But I believe in bitcoin.i believe it will continue to rise.

[najmul33]

Of course when you are doing any Investment its full of risk. Bitcoin holding also risk. But if you take Risk you will be winner, successful in future

[genology]

There's always risk but it is the wiser thing to do. It is what's recommended by financial experts. It is also.advisable for people.who are.busy in life and.have other commitments outside investing.

First of all, bitcoin fluctuates so much, it will be a wise decision if you remember the price when you buy, and hold it till it goes up enough to make profit for you.
Second, if you want to purchase, make sure you spend money thay u can afford to lose. It is not advisable to use your "main money" to do an investment. Every investment has its risk, even the best investment can make you lose some.
Third, keep learning on the investment you re doing. So you get the most out of it.

[gurunanakji777]

There is always risk in every investment wether it is bitcoin or something else. You can not be assured if you hold bitcoin you would definitely get profit. But past year was really very good for bitcoin and I am expecting this year would also be a good year for btc holders its my thinking.

I guess you should know, that in crypto is all speculation. so you should know with all the risks that you can face anytime. so you should always monitor and analyze so you can make your choice.

[realsteve]

If you have any concerns about the future value, sell some of it and hold however much you are willing to lose.

[oaz7t]

The market is bery unpredictable and anything can happen
Bitcoin value can fall or rise at anytime and nobody can give any accurate answer for this
If people keep on investing in bitcoins the prices surely will go up but there are also other cryptocurrencies to look out for
Dont put all you money in one place
In this current situation it wont be risky

I think selling at this point would be really bad idea. There is no point in selling when you can grab double profits in the near future. Wait for few more months and you will see bitcoin will outbreak the current rates of market. The mart stands still for now and there is not much movement for now because people have got attracted by many alt coins currently. So its the time where people are really into alt coin rush rather than BTC stuff.

Lets give the whole thing some more time so that it recover from the additional chaos like transaction fees and slower rate of transfer. Unless and until that one is recovered we will not see much growth in the BTC's investors.
