[sherwinaze]

Everyone has their own strategy in managing their bitcoin investments. Some prefer to hold it for a long time because they are still waiting for the perfect time when bitcoin will hit a high value. We gain profit from the difference on the fluctuating values.  That's why it wise to hold bitcoin sometimes.

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.

If you checked bitcoin value graph then you will never ask this question. Bitcoin is one of the popular and fast improving crypto in crypto market. So if you buy bitcoins now on the current rate the return will depends on the increasing rate of bitcoin. So as per the value hike your investment cost also grow with it.

People hodl in the hope of what they have will be worth significantly more in years to come. Nobody wants to spend bitcoin for it to be worth twice as much in a few months. I was in a shop and seen that they accepted crypto and asked if anyone bought anything with crypto he said no one but at least there was an opportunity to.

Bitcoin tends to reward more to those who hodl. Also trading isn't for everyone and most of the people end up losing their investment by trading so the best option for them is to hodl and be relaxed. Also hodling helps you stay calm and patient while avoiding going into panic every time the price takes a dump.

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.

because everyone knows that bitcoin is going to get a big increase

but yep, I use it as a cryptocurrency to trade with another coins

[supto005]

The simple answer is people holding Bitcoin because of they want to make profit. They buy at low price then hold it until the price of Bitcoin increased. But unfortunately i'm not Bitcoin holder I am trying to sell because of it's need patient but i can't!

[Doych]

Everything is very simple!
The majority of holders are waiting when bitcoin grows to 250k-1kkk $!
And I think that it's not long to wait!

[harobaru]

every one just holding because after some months its prices increases rapidly and they get more profit.

[Tomcolor]

I'm still believed in Bitcoin, I know Bitcoin again come back good price. I am a holder with the Bitcoin. Many people do it buy Bitcoin,When have been price $15k plus.so now their do not sell Bitcoin. Because this is lossing time.so we do not want to loss.we want to profit. Bitcoin price will go up I have confidence. So their people keep holding Bitcoin because their recover lossing money.

Bitcoin has a volatile value and if you are looking forward to earn large amount of profit right now, you should keep on holding and wait until the value rises once again. I've seen a lot of people who ended up regretting after panic selling due to the sudden dumps occuring. If you don't want to be like them, be patient and believe that the value of bitcoin will soon rise again.

[FRJ]

The price of Bitcoin now lower than before. so people are holding.as long as Bitcoin being established as a payment system people will prefer holding Bitcoin. they do not only hold them but also sell their Bitcoins for fiats. Again some believe that one day the price will increase and reach a considerable phase. so they are waiting for that time and holding their Bitcoin.

You should not be surprised anymore from those people who are holding their bitcoin. It might be selfish but it is one of the most strategic way to earn more money. Here in bitcoin, if you are going to be impatient, regrets and disappointments will surely end up on your side. So to avoid all of the misfortunes, you should hold too your bitcoin for the greater good of your investment here.

every one just holding because after some months its prices increase rapidly and they get more profit.

or drops, like it happened in 2018 (and some years ago, but that was different)

But on overall yes, it does grow, when you invest, your investment grows over time.

When you use it, you don't notice. Like I had a wallet with some change I forgot about, around 80 cents, and one day, I found the address, looked it up and realized it was around 25 bucks.

There seem to be different reasons for holding by different people.
Small investors who bought @ very high prices can not afford to bear heavy losses .  So they are waiting prices of BTC to rise at least the level they purchased. They would like to exit at those rates.
Big investors and speculators would be trying to pull down the prices further down to the earth.  Then they may start heavy buying and holding to push up the market.  After they succeed in making positive sentiments the prices will again moov up and only then they will play the strategy of sell the holdings.

[roshanface123]

You are a member in bitcoin forum after that also you still don't know about the bitcoin holdings nessossity, its really strange to me.Whatever it maybe bitcoin is a crypto currency the rate of bit on defers as per the market demand. Because of it's popularity and loyalty among crypto fielders its demand get increasing now so holding bitcoins gave bitcoiners a huge return from your holding investments.

[MFY151]

I still  believe bitcoin will bounce back again , im a holder of bitcoin and tokens for almost 4 months and i lose 50% on my portfolio but still a true holder knows whats the best cause big rewards is coming for those hodlers.

True, its either you wait and wait or earn big from your investments, a true holder should never have to cut loss as their option and should be willing to wait patiently for its investments to earn a huge percentage before actually selling it. We have to remain firm and stick to our set goals regardless of the current events in the cryptocurrency market.

[Remainder]

It is depend on the holders when to let go their holdings because they trust that their holdings with a good result and bring wealth to them, many people now are getting rich in crypto because they hold of their trusted token for long period of time and that's lead them to success, just think positive.

[bachanhlac]

Because i buy at a high price =)). Many people, like me buy many crypto at high price. One of reasons is a new- that many people tell about Bitcoin: "Bitcoin is 25000 $/1btc at Q1 2018, and more in 2019,ect". We believe in bitcoin and buy them early. And the trust is... I think you know =))

I will hold BTC and altcoin until end of 2018 ^^
