Why is everyone just HODLing?

[kiemponxs]

Until now I still hold the bitcoin I have, even though for the past 4 months I've lost half of my assets, but I'm sure bitcoin will definitely come back, go up at a high price, and that will make me, have far-reaching results more.

[Coinnosaurus]

I think it's just a good long-term investment. As it stabilizes, its value will increase. A lot of people also think bitcoin is undervalued

[Tungsten-1]

I will not sell it and keep it, because Bitcoin will go back to a higher level, that's the reason I always hold Bitcoin, even though there's a lot of bad news about Bitcoin but I'm always sure Bitcoin will come back again.

Everyone of us who has been into the bitcoin for long is trying to keep our coins in our hands until or unless we find no other way to meet our financial demands related to daily life. This is clear because the present value of bitcoin tag it as a precious asset that is not meant to be wasted through selling or even the trading method of earning profits.

Hi Forum
I would like to know what real value you think HODLing adds. What is the point of just holding bitcoin till moon and lambo ? This is cryptocurrency, why aren't we using this as currency? If we all just hold then this whole thing takes on a completely different business model, we lose all real value that it has as currency and it just becomes a full on speculative bubble.

Bitcoin and other currencies have no value if nobody uses them. So I would like to encourage everyone to spend and replace instead of just blindly holding. We won't see merchant adoption skyrocketing if nobody buys stuff with bitcoin. And yes I know it can go up in value, but why not just spend your BTC and EFT some fiat over to your local exchange and replace the BTC you spent ?
If any businesses accept BTC or other currencies it is our duty to support them extra for it and use cryptocurrency.

Very true, but if most people are hodling it should be a good thing for the number of bitcoins in circulation is limited. So that if you want to get some in that limited market you need to pay more.
In another word, hodling also increase the price. But yeah we need to keep using it to maintain its function and value

Nope if all people holding there bitcoins not do any transaction means the price will not increase it will be stable at one price. people must do the transaction then only demand and supply and increase and the price will increase. But why everyone is holding means nobody wants to lose their money all playing safe game.

Every one should get huge profit my believe for that reason most of the people are holding bitcoin. I am agree with that that bitcoin just not hold a blind customer you need use bitcoin so many other place. Bitcoin is the best and you should use all over the world and all work.

[Fazlurkhan.kz]

The ones who are holding are not the majority of people. They are just the people who thought they have missed the boat and have invested after the last year's bitcoin price hike. The ones who have already made enough from bitcoin are using bitcoin for investing in new projects and also for their daily needs if their country has means to use it like a mode of payment. But for the people who JUST decide to hold it, they also somehow help in increasing its value as more and more people would try to get into the market in the future and due to bitcoins limited supply, the demand will increase resulting in an increase in its price.

[rickyNmorty]

The least thing you could do as a responsible bitcoin enthusiast/investor is holding bitcoins when the price is at a decrease rather than letting panic take over and resort to panic selling. A lot of investors especially the veteran ones hold bitcoins at such points because they are aware that the dip wouldn't be forever, and that given a few months or even days bitcoin would recover and they will regain the losses easily.

bitcoin and other currencies have no value if nobody uses them so i would like to encourage everyone to spend and replace instead of just blindly holding....we won't see merchant adoption skyrocketing if nobody buys stuff with bitcoin know it can go up in value,any businesses accept BTC or other currencies it is our duty to support them extra for it...it's true many merchants who started accepting bitcoin say they stopped because there was no demand not sure forcing sales is the right side answer we don't want false commerce any more than we want speculative bubbles. People will naturally start using the money that works better for them, the one that's convenient, cheap and fast. That's what people want. When Bitcoin starts beating national currency at that people will demand and reward businesses that accept it with natural sales....

[Rony24h7]

Because there have no alternative option to get back profit and also have the believe in Bitcoin that soon the price will recover so the Investor hold the coin. There has no option without sell and no one don’t want to sell with lose. So what should we do either sell or hold? Holding the coin will be wise able task.
There also fact that if everyone hold the coin how the price will increase according to supply and demand. It’s necessary to sell the coin to get profit because if they sell than the investor invest on it and the price will increase again. Either Its quite disappointed news that the price of bitcoin take longer to recover the price.

[NotAtOld]

In a most decentralized and largely confined market, the value of popularity is promising for price increases. Holding is the best way to increase your profits over time. Of course, with the consciousness and thought of each person, the profit goals set out are different and form the different fluctuations.

They are holding surely because they don't want to make any unecessary move such as selling which might cut their potential profit in the future.a they are also awared that dumps are not permanent is a completely normal thing in cryptocurrency. The hope and expectations that the market will always recover is what gives the idea of holding to earn profit.

As I think, the infrastructure for Bitcoin is so small that we can use it in our common life. When there will be more regulation and we will be able to use debit cards, Bitcoin will become payment system. But right now it is speculation assets and good investment opportunity.

Holding is always the best thing to do when there is a huge dump in the market of prices because most of the new traders are selling their coins at the lowest price because they are scared to lose more profit but they did not notice that they will just lose their investment since the prices in the market will still go back to normal.

[Budugbass]

But anyway I think.. not everyone is just directing it to invest only, in some countries that have legalized it as a legitimate currency to buy something.. of course it's not only intended for invest, invest and invest every time, surely the various advantages of it.. it can be used for the other things that are useful in everyday life as a complement to the necessities of life that can compete with the common currency.

Since there have no elective choice to get back benefit and furthermore have the have confidence in Bitcoin that soon the cost will recuperate so the Investor hold the coin. There has no alternative without offer and nobody would prefer not to offer with lose. So what would it be advisable for us to do either offer or hold? Holding the coin will be shrewd capable errand.
There likewise truth that if everybody hold the coin how the cost will increment as indicated by free market activity. It's important to pitch the coin to get benefit in light of the fact that in the event that they offer than the financial specialist contribute on it and the cost will increment once more. Either Its very baffled news that the cost of bitcoin take more time to recoup the cost.

[kiemponxs]

Why all hold up? Because all do not want to lose bitcoin, by selling its bitcoin, at a cheap price, so it's better to hold bitcoin until its price, back up than it has to get, big enough losses when the price is cheap, and that's what its investment name .

[gurunanakji777]

Yes I agree with you only holding is not the solution to increase the value of btc on the contrary in the current market selling will also not help btc. We should use btc regularly where we can buy things from btc. It should be use in mainstream. But I usually convert my btc to fiat to meet out all my expenditure.

Hodling is the only thing you can do with Bitcoin.  since Core broke it, nearly all the functionality is gone.  So - simply hodl.  It is the only thing to do with Bitcoin.  Ethereum has applications.  Bitcoin Cash works with the merchant.  Bitcoin is Hodl only.  This was done by design.  You can thank Blockstream
