HODLing will get you nowhere

[MMysterious]

Dont get me wrong but I dont think that hodling will get nowhere. To think that bitcoin or crypto king takes 8-9 years to reach its all time high. So does altcoins that has potential will reach their all time high like bitcoin by 5-8 years maybe. Hodling is the ability of the investors to just stay calm even the market in on panic because they believe in the potentials of they crypto or altcoins. They dont seek for short term profit because they looking forward for the change that their coins will bring. If you're a short term trader maybe hodling is not good for you. Hodling is for the risk takers.

Holding is better than selling, but it depends on  the potential of the coin that you trying to hold
Not all crypto coins that you decided to hold are worth it and profitable, there's some coins from ICO's are worthless or a scam.

I think hodliing is more effective than other strategies, if you can hold the right coin then surely you will benefit, but if you only hold a coin that has no potential in the future, your patience will not produce good results.

I fully support this view, You need to know what to hodl and what to let go. Some projects can appreciate similar to what eth did, others will just cease to exist.

[akishang]

I don't think so. See what happens to those who hold Ripple, the value increases and they are celebrating their win because they are patient. Waiting is the worst experience you can have because of the low price. It can make you give up on your coin but if you have the right mind set, you will hodl it until the right moment.

[CoinSpeculator]

you say ''The price will never rise if everyone HODls!'' and this is true absolutely. but you miss the point. if you hold some underdog coin for example if you hold nano in past times and others use it for trade and volume and price rise because of that; end of this action there is only be winner. guess who? of course you.

but if you say holding is only thing that gives you money, this is also wrong. you should do other things like nodes, leverage trading, ico's etc. crypto is still new area we are the lucky ones.

Holding is a way of holding Altcoin to overcome the difficulties of the market as it starts to worsen. When bad things happen, the Holder begins calling people not to sell their Altcoin to reduce their selling power and help the market stabilise and not worry when it falls too far.

[GameOfBit]

If the coin is good enough, why not save it. If there is no bad demand for a coin, then the price will rise, and it will be possible to sell it very profitably. It makes no sense to hold weak coins.

Cannot be generally said that hodling will get you nowhere. Ask those who hodl btc for a few years if this hodling got them nowhere Smart trading decisions can earn you more, of course. But not everyone is a good trader, therefore hodling brings less risk and stress. Not to mention that trading is quite time consuming. And I would not be too much worried that everyone would just hodl and there would be no trading. There will always be some speculants and as the cryptomarket is still young, additional demand can be easily created by new money flowing to crypto.

We have constantly considered inside having and also this approach does work for me personally as opposed to being concerned each day and also questioning when industry increase nowadays. Having in fact given that you simply the far better potential for getting income and also for some reason offers you time and energy to think again about on your own method. Even though this kind of operates for me personally, it could not necessarily benefit other folks. However, my partner and I don’t notice anything at all completely wrong inside holding, it is, in reality, less hazardous as compared to investing.

Long-term investment this is a great tactic , especially when you don't have sufficient knowledge to guide short-term trading . But making long-term investments need to take into account that not all coins will survive, especially now when the market is bearish . You need to take into account how long the coin is on the market , how strong her team is whether it has application in real life and the finished product.

[Nikolas_the_Wonderworker]

At present, there is a situation where investors have become disillusioned with long-term investments. This situation is absolutely clear. If only there is free spare financial resources, then the best time at low prices to purchase a few promising altcoins and save them for 3-5 years.

[lukeclick]

this is false. One of the most untrue words I have seen on these streets. Hodling is very much profitable, and will get you wherever you want to get. A lot of investors lack the skill to trade, and hodling is anpther good option that they have resorted to, and they have profited so much from just hodling their coins.

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.

Hodling helps a lot man. Why would you say that? There are coins like Paragon, Stellar and Cardano which are really great and can go unbelievably high once you wait. So hodl and relax.

[pozmu]

You won't really increase coin value by only trading, there has to be some value in the coin that makes it desirable, bitcoin allowed fast decentralised transaction, ethereum smart contracts - if people will be buying because of such reason price will go up, but if holders will trade only between themself then we'll have zero sum game, pumping and dumping... OK, maybe it's not that bad if there is some underlying value in the coin and thanks to that it can thrive later, I don't know myself.
If I would believe in particular coin then I would buy a bit more if price is really low.

[odranoel]

Will its depend to the holder what kind of coin you are holding. Maybe you will getting nowhere upon holding if you loose your patience and getting panic which result to panic selling and becomes losses. I am a bounty hunter's too i used to earned from joining signature campaigned and i hold it now til market will recovered soon.

[Cloud_miner]

I think that HODL is the right tactic for someone who has chosen a coin of good prospective project . Even if someone thinks that this is not the case, but my opinion remains the same - the one who has long-term investments will be a winner compared to those who love daily trading.

[lorylore]

Hodling will never go anywhere is true. It will just keep u bleeding non stop with the current market. So sell if you are scare or invest more if you dare.

[e@symode]

No, I strongly disagree with what you say, because I’ll probably continue to adhere to the HODL situation, I think that now it would be best to use HODL as a proven method to work normally in the future.

[Ad Baculum]

I might dissagree, most icos like you said, that started at january suffered a big loss, but thats because there was a massive dip in the whole market and as bitcoin crashed everything followed, and the newest coins didnt have the liquidity to not suffer a big loss as well

HODLING may get you to nowhere? HODLing strategy will help you to avoid losses and cuts because of the unstable market you will loss if you try to exchange your tokens right now, so better if you just wait and HODL your earnings until it pumps up. Don't worry that time will come sooner.
