Holding will be a risk or not??

[Alex9813]

Yes, obviously because price is always in ups and downs.And no one guaranteed you that price will only increase.So holding will be risky also.Any kind of investing is risky.You can't be confirmed what will happen in next.But since bitcoin has a good reputation in present so we should believe in bitcoin to earn something.

hodl them and if you had an additional funds, split them and allocate in bitcoin and several alt coin. This is much better than put all your money in one pair. Learn about the alt coin that you choose, when you are sure enter the market.

It will be much better to stay in the bitcoin and spilt the investment into 2 halves, there will be a half of holding and other half for the part time trading. Your energies will not be split into the different directions and you can focus on bitcoin for trading as well as holding. Also you will get the benefits and profits either with both the strategies at a same time or at least one out of them will be profitable. So if you want to split, split it like this.

I hope Every move in crypto world are risky specially if you entering in trading/investing industry holding is the best move you can do for now if you buy bitcoin in the dip so you are lucky but if you buy bitcoin when its rise up I suggest hold and hold until the price reach your goal. If you believe that bitcoin will rise up again then hold it for long term and see the result in the future make sure you storr your bitcoin in the safe place.but the risk is always there if you want to buy now then the risk is, the price may go down after you buy. But if you decide to wait before you buy, the risk is that the price may go up. You have to be brave to make a decision and do not regret what you have decided whatever the outcome because it is useless.

every investment sure have a risk. today many people are investing in bitcoin. so, if you want to get the big profit, you should be prepared to bear the risk.

[andylowe]

Yes it will be a risk since it decreases sometimes. Imagine holding bitcoin worth $1million and suddenly the price goes down by 50% so it would be a big loss but we musn't panic because it will surge up anytime. There really is risk in the market.

Yes, holding bitcoin will be a risk but if you have plans on how you will hold your bitcoin then you dont need to worry something because you can trust bitcoin if you really do want too. Bitcoin is risky because if you will hold this, there is a possibility that you might lose your bitcoin but it helps you learn also on how to be strong enough to face anything.

[freshm4ker]

For now there are two ways that you can have more benefits to hold in the long run, you can also lose your investment but there is a risk in archiving success. Selling or holding the most important is that you are willing to bear the risks involved, if you have lost your investment and I do not think this will ever happen in your future life.

[Parpeus]

Unendingly bit has a peril exclusive of steading but if you are developing for more than you lay irregularly you aren't automatically reducing your deed you are just removing your options. I believe if you essay invested squeamish and are gifted to contribute to destroy what you store in in fine fettle why worry?

[Meuh5598i]

If you think for a longterm issue it wont be a risk.
But if you get paniced and sell your btc which u may have get it while it was 10k and sell it by seeing it on 7k. Then
It will be a risk for you.
Hold the Door - HODOR

[xSkylarx]

Yup investing and hold bitcoin for a long time is very risky because of bitcoin volatility sell now later price will go high, if you hold tigh the price will go down, that is my experience in trading bitcoin, choose wisely.

Holding might be risky and selling right away might be risky too, that is why we have to make a decision on what we are going to do since it is our bitcoin. But if you are not new in this cryptocurrency world, then probably what you are going to do is to hodl since you know that this fluctuations of price is just normal because bitcoin's price is volatile and it will goes up again in no time.

[hodlcoiner]

Depends on your investment strategy. If you are a passive investor just buy and hold, otherwise try to catch the wave of hype and sell

[hilman89]

In my opinion, investing in bitcoin is quite risky, my advice, you should not invest outside your abilities. for example, you sell a house and all the proceeds are invested in bitcoin while you have no place to live.
it is clearly risky, what if bitcoin value keeps decreasing? but if the bitcoin value increases and you sell it at the right value, you are very lucky. your wealth will increase by a few percent.

[keycellko]

There's no telling when bitcoin will go back up or maybe it will continue going down. For now, the choice we have is to hold our coins and hope the tides will turn somehow. But i believe bitcoin wont stay low for long. Let's just wait and hodl. It will be a great 2018 for bitcoin. Just the manipultion to pull back have so much effect on the price.

[readygoaw]

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.

There is always a risk of falling prices on cryptocurrency market. However holding coins seems to me the least risky occupation. You just need to choose the right currency. It should be stable and predictable money.

[shezu007]

I think holding of the bitcoin is not a risk and will not be, even the value of the bitcoin is come to 5k$. because the value of the bitcoin will rise again and it will be cross the level from where it start the journey of going low. maximum time the holding of the bitcoin make you glade because the value rise and your invest become more valuable.

Trading and investment is always full of risk and therefore holding bitcoin can be consider risky, because we are not putting money in banks on interest to get a fixed amount of income, but it is investment and no one can 100% sure about bitcoin price that either it will continue increasing or will decrease, we always take the rest while investing money in bitcoin.

[CurrencyMaster]

it depends.. if you know abut trading psychology.. if you are holding a top its extremely dangerous but if you are holding the bottom you hit the jackpot.. sell when you arehappy with the profit and never look again and feel that if you holded more i could have earned more.. never ever do that

Yes holding is not a risky thing for long term investors but a short time investors had some risks and more fear in it because the price of bitcoin is not stable that’s why people are saying crypto currencies investment are so risky.

[Washball]

It's very hard to decide at the moment whether to hold or sell. Holding looks very risky now that worldwide regulations seem to be closer than ever. Regulations will make cryptocurrencies centralized and that is scary to investors who prefer decentralized currencies.That's why thrh price is dropping and it does not look like a regular correction.

Its a matter of your choice or decision, if you believe in what bitcoin can do in the future you will take your risk to invest on it and hold it and to make a miracle to reached its higher value. Every investment is risky so just play safe just invest what you can afford to lose.

[Bitcoinnumberone]

every investment is risky, do not put all eggs in one basket

There is always a risk in bitcoin. Now that it's in downtrend or it has a lower value, holding could be a risk. What if bitcoin eventually continues to go down
what will happen to the people depending on it through investment.
