Why almost everybody suggest to hold?

[anitayui]

If you don't sell so you will don't lose, so just holding our investment because I'm sure bitcoin price will bouncing and increase the price again. So let's just see the market btc. By holding our coin it can minimize our losse, so many people will suggest to hold our coins.

[Farvin2]

From some of the many owners of the bitcoin who chose to sell it. There are many who choose to hold it, those who choose hold a bitcoin and regular believe prices will go up again, are those people who have long known the world of bitcoin and already witnessed how price bitcoin up and down.

History speaks to hold, As I remember this fall is not so big that we have seen in past years , and what happened after all these? Huge rise that we have never imagined. Simply see last 5 year chart and you will get to know what I mean to say.

Because those investors know the rules of the market and they are confident that the market will rebound in March 2018. So on the large investment forums on cryptocurrency advise investors to keep the copper their crypto.

Hi all,
I have a really simple question or so seems to me cause i am a crypto noob.
I really do not understand why almost everybody suggest to hold when there is a dip or correction.

With my simple noob logic i think that when there is a dip someone could sell at the start of the dip or do something else (e.g. buy tether y i know the rumors or something similar anyway) and then buy again later when the correction has stop or decrease.

Obviously no one knows when there is a many days dip and when it will end in order to buy but even so one can save much money just for sell and buy in between even without predict the absolute start and end of a dip.

I hold as everyone suggests but i now realise that if i had sell even a couple days before even yesterday-and not right after the start of the dip and buy lets say now i would have save a bunch of money relatively with what i am doing now which is hold.

I really must be missing something since i am crypto noob orelse i cannot explain why everyone suggest hold while i fear that real pros are doing the oppossite.

I would like to ask only experienced people who know what they are talking about to give their opinions cause i am fed up reading pseudo crypto pros everywhere around. I bet many of you understand what i mean. Everybody has become a crypto pro . Well i am a crypto noob and i need your heads up.

Thank you for your time reading this and excuse my lame English.

Regards.

holding have a good side in the market and also for the person holding a coin , lets take first on the side of market , if you sell your coin and let say that many of people also selling the tendency is those who sells had contributed to the dropping of price even if you think that i got only some bitcoin it may not affect the price . On the side of you if you hold .01 btc and you acquire it with the price of 10k dollar and when the price drops and you decided to sell it with 9k dollar you are now negative on profit so it is better to hold and sell when the price reach 10k dollar again or more .

[Choii]

The reason why almost all user here in forum suggest to hold, because that's the easiest way when it comes to gain a profit if you lose some bitcoin cause of the dip now. But it's take time to gain more profit if the price or value increase again, just we need patience before that happen.

I think that everyone wants to keep their bitcoin because at the moment bitcoin is experiencing very bad news from China, most recently China has issued a ban on all activities related to bitcoin and will tighten management. Trading floors in this country. But with the potential and development of bitcoin we can see in the long run bitcoin prices will rise again and even higher than the $ 19800 mark.

[Btc_1856]

Because they already know the potential of the coin and may be they understand that market is in correction mode. People who are holding right now will make more money on the investment they made. So when the market is in downtrend the only option we have is to HODL.

I think that when the market is in a hurry, going down like this is our chance to get rich. It can be seen that most people are panicked by the news of bitcoin and want to sell it, which has caused the price of bitcoin is extremely low. That is the opportunity for us to buy bitcoin at extremely cheap prices, we all know by the end of 2017 the price of a bitcoin has hit the $ 19800 mark. This is great opportunity for us to x3 our property.

[gambitcoin53]

there is no way anyone can predict the trend to go up or down, most are suggesting to hold because that is what to do now, now that the price is low, if everybody will keep on selling, the market will be saturated with lots of bitcoin supplies, we can apply the law on supply and demand, more supply means low demands. when holders are selling their bitcoin, the price will continue to drop because the supply is huge, if what all are saying is to hold, it means we are trying to stop the flow of supply, when the time when people are buying, the supply of bitcoin will decrease thus resulting shortage of bitcoin then the demand increases, therefore the bitcoin price in the market will also increase.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

People tell you to hold because they don't want you to drive the market down even further by selling.  The people who yell "HODL!!" are the ones holding bitcoin, so you selling in a downturn is not in their best interest.  Then there's the "misery loves company" aspect, too.

This happens not only in bitcoin but the stock market and every other market where people gather online to talk about it.  The whole thing is retarded IMO, because you don't actually make money unless you sell (just like you don't actually lose money until you sell).  

Any rational person--if they're a trader, and not someone who is owning bitcoin in order to spend it--will take his profit at some point, and some people do like to protect against further losses.  The whole HODL thing is just a war cry that I find kinda silly.  Having said that, there are a lot of people who've made a killing by following that advice...so I won't exactly call those people idiots.

[clarkt]

Because holders of any particular coin determine the price of that coin.  What control the price of a coin is not the media or negative news or even the economy.  The most important factor in coin price is the community and holder of such coin.  If the holder sell their coin there will not be any value left for such coin.

[mrproblem]

I believe that we see the dip as 6k, US audit finished, tether problem is solved(I hope) then 7,5k limit just broken again.
So I suggest to start think about selling targets or last buys

[bingble]

Because holdig will lessen or should I say no loose on your holding. When you know what coin you are trading and the price was gone low after you buy, you will just loose the capital when you sell lower. We suggest to hold in that kind of situation, because no one knows what would really happen the future, no have made it correctly to predict it.

Agree.

Because no one can predict the price waves, up or down. If you sell, then the price soaring up? Or if you buy, but the price falls sharply?

So what we can do  is, make your own plan, based on your own balance of risk and profit, on the amount of cashes, on your investment cycle...

[DevilSlayer]

The reason is simple! I also suggest to my friends to hold their bitcoins because I have faith and hope to the bitcoin that it can overcome all of its challenges. The price of the bitcoin will go up again in this following days so I prefer to hold our coins.

if what you are trying to hold for is bitcoin then this is what will be the best thing to do on just by holding it and never be ever to make any way to sold it for it may recover and make goes up again so holding bitcoin are one of the best thing to do.

[TheUltraElite]

as you can see the market now, we cant do anything. Do you wanna sell your coins and lose much money? of course no. So, the best way is hodling.

I wont say its the best way to make money. But definitely not the bad way or a way to lose money. Refer to people who bought bitcoin at dirt cheap price and then sold it in 2017 - man they made some nice profits.

Also one can do a lot of things by observing the market, for example they can plan their next altcoin purchase which they missed at ICO or so. There are people who are banking cash from ICOs but not everyone gets to have the big ones. The red market is the time to buy them.

[Morjana17]

I think they suggest to hold because they are expecting that it will grow higher and they get some or they can make there investment doubled.
This is also a test of patience but of course there is corresponding consequence. You must be ready for it.

They suggested to hold it is because their is no loose of holding it but rather a higher equivalent of an amount to double up. The patience is being tested although it is risky but we need to be practical because it is kinda business already investing time and effort.

[kissme09]

Maybe you see people asking for the hold is a stupid thing that you were wrong. When buyers increase so much that no one wants to sell, the market will go up. If it goes down, everyone wants to sell to cut losses. This just keeps going down instead of going up or top.

[CurrencyMaster]

because crypto just started its course in this world and as early adopters its best if we hold on to it than loosing any valuable piece of bitcoin or any strong good coins

because if you see 2009 where bitcoin is you will understand

You're really not far from the truth. It is always expected for a trader to sell at the start of a dip in order not to incur loss. Most people suggest holding simple because they're of the notion that the price of bitcoin will always go up. At the early stage of the dip, most were not having it in mind that the price would go further down and as such, were hoping in expectancy that the price will go back up (as usual) for them to make more profit, which in turn has resulted to their loss at the moment. I believe this occurrence has served as a lesson to those who embarked upon this act and will be used as a guide in the future.
