HODLing will get you nowhere

[Bendz]

It depends on the coin you were hodling. Most of the time, new coins that was being listed were not increasing and the trend always go down. I hodled a lot of coins from bounty and I am monitoring their price. Majority of them depreciate and not the price is getting worst. Its better if I sold it when I receive while the price is high than hodling for more than 6 months only to know that the coin loses its value.

At least we can hold it first until the end of the year, because usually the price of coins is always at the top level. There we can conclude whether the coin that we hold will develop or not.

[StevenPop]

I really think that this is wrong. If anything, hodling is one thing that can make you earn as much as you want to in this industry. All that is required is your patience and your time. Your coins have more time to manifest their potential and give you great value for your money. I really do thing that hodling your coins is one of the best decisions you could make in the market.

[athanz88]

That is why you only holding to a coin that has a big potential. You need to learn and do some analyzing before buying then holding the coins. If you got the coins that have a big potential, then holding will bring you a lot of profit rather than playing it small with trading in small amount and short time.

The concept of the coin matters, not only the market's movement.

[Erik_Smuel]

That's depending on the project that you are holding its tokens, if the project is real and the team working on it then holding its token will get a lot of benefits to you in the long-term and vice-versa.

The past week, as I've been looking to invest in recently finished ICOs since most of their prices are way below ICO price, I noticed the same thing mentioned over and over in their telegram channels.

People screaming: HODL!!!  It will moon someday!!!!

Another one that is common: When BINANCE!?!?! If only we were on Binance!!!


This makes me laugh inside.  Crypto is not a magical place where all coins will eventually rise in value if you just hold on to them.

Most ICOs did very poorly the last 3 months.  The ones that did the worst were the ones that started in January
Now, a lot of these startups are underfunded and could only list in low volume exchanges and seeing their prices crash to ridiculously low prices.
And everyone is crying on their Telegram.

Listen very closely yo: The price will never rise if everyone HODls!

Prices are boosted through supply and demand and if a vast majority of people who own the coin are not trading it, than you are severely cutting in to that chain.

Instead of Hodling, you should be buying and making strategic trade choices.

This is true for the poor projects only and crypto market is still in early stages. You should HODL the coins that will have a real-life use and bright future. Otherwise fake daily hype will take the projects nowhere...

[Btcirene88]

Not everyone can constantly buy and sell, often there is no such opportunity. But I think that you need to learn because without this chance to earn is reduced several times

Maybe this just the coinsedence of people holds more coin than selling it turns out that the more buy and sell it will gaurantee a good movement into the product that opens a great opportunity to access in any exchanges.

[ovbokhan]

Hodling take time for investors to reap the reward of a long wait, just make sure you are holding the coin/token with a good potential for growth, otherwise it is a waste of time

[Ania Alison]

Just now is a good time to invest, the price of coins fell already really to the bottom. I will invest for a long time.

You are right that you need to make strategic trading decisions, but holding - this is one of the solutions, because it all depends on the coins that you hold.

[rumlipm]

The way that something did or does not work out for you doesn't implied that it won't work out for the following individual. For new financial specialists who are simply beginning you can't in any way, shape or form anticipate that them will bounce into exchanging coins when they don't yet comprehend the market. So holding is the best choice for them and they can profit from it as long as they purchase low and offer high.

It depends on the coin you holding, we can't say when will the market price going up and down because of its volatility, Maybe if you think that the coin haven't any future why would you hold it? It is better to sell than to waste your coin right and if you think that your coin have a future with your careful observation and analysis then hold it if you want.

[ryap12]

Ofcourse it will! If you work on long term investments, then HODL is the best way to make profit. Ofcourse you have to buy that coin/token at a low price so the next time you visit, you'll see a difference. But there is a risk especially there are so many altcoins now, that you will end up losing money if that token/coin you invested will not gain interest in the market.

Indeed, you are correct at somepoint. Well, people hodl bitcoin and the other crypto just for the sake of not losing it, just for the sake of saving it. If you do have a lot of it and then the price is severely low, and you have the guts of someday it would just rise up probably I bet you would do hodl stuffs as well. Well, talking it generalize there is some side effects of tons of people would just stay hodling not doing something out. And yes, it might result to crypto being more severely low than it could. If people would just do some trading stuffs, buy more when it is low, instead of only hodling it. There will be a significant changes.

[petubtc]

When you get your coins for free from airdrops and bounties it wouldn't hurt if you hold. As most say it can really go high in price, in this way there is a chance you get big profits if you have the right coins. There will always be risks in things like this and you should understand that by now.

[CoinCowgirl]

I`m a long-term holder. I have learned from the pass. I hold all my cryptocurrency and don`t sell any. Even my tokens are on hold. For at least 5 years.
I truly believe inthe future the prizes become skyhigh.

[haidangtp]

Since I don't have much experience in trading, I choose to hold. In the short term, I can lose money, but in the long term, I have great expectations.

[tonywangg]

Well if you pick a sh*t coin HODL'ing will not help at all.  HODL'ing is only effective considering you have done the appropriate research and picked a high quality coin.  Next time make sure you pick high quality. 

[dongyi17]

Holding will benefit you for as long as you know the technique to which you can utilize and may double the amount of profit it by sensing the right timing when it going to trade or not and seizing the opportunity while the value of bitcoin is high so that you will earn more rather than losing it.

[Trangngu]

There is a big difference between holding and trading, they have advantages and disadvantages, for example bitcoin, bitcoin is long term investment, so if you trade on bitcoin, you can not make much profit. More because bitcoin is not the same as increase or decrease a short period of time. Holding is a way for investors to make long-term and medium-term investments

[senopratama]

the hold will not immediately be able to feel the results. When it doesn't have anything so reasonable just because it does not directly hold it can be rapidly especially in conditions of crypto for this time. It took more than a year to be able to enjoy a rise again as expected and holding until that time arrives the new holding.
