WHAT HAPPENS WHEN NO ONE SELLS BUT HODL?

[CryptYeah]

Rather, at first the market is simply frozen, and then it will fall down with a certain acceleration (depending on the closure of projects). I advise everyone to read about kits (dudes who with their wallet can turn all the charts))

[OutlawFat]

I agree with those who don't believe it's possible to HODL for everybody at the same time. It's against human nature. Besides, there have been lots of newbies after the last year's shocking growth, so don't panic, keep on hodling!

This is simply impossible in practice, but if you want to talk about what would happen in theory, then the price would basically be a flat line. If you want to see how that would look like, just look at a dead exchange graph for example BTC-E:

As you see, it's a perfect flat line. This is impossible, because equilibrium never happens in markets, unregulated ones at least, as there is always some buying and selling action.

I agree that everyone electing to HODL is impossible in practice but I don't share the point of view that it would culminate in a flat line in theory, because two scenarios are possible:
 
1. if Hodlers are unwilling to sell, the coin would become scarce and buyers will naturally bid up the price;

2. if Hodlers are willing to sell, but no buyer is willing to buy, that's where there's a problem, if not a threat.

Why are there still people asking this?
It is obvious that the price will go up, i do not understand why there are so many people that are giving bad answers to this, because it is the simple rule of offert/demand.

Currency is for the exchange of goods and services. Why then should you hold yours without giving it out? You can't "eat" your money and get satisfied. If everyone holds it, then there wouldn't be any benefits in crypto and hence no need to invest.

I have been monitoring so many post about HODL! HODL!! HODL!!! I am a victim of that but I have sat down and analyzed something. We should all know what will happen when we all decide to HODL. This will be one of the deadliest that will ever happen in cryptocurrencies. When we all decide to HODL I think the markets will go down and the green markets we want will never com. Also BTC will die when we all decide to HODL. I think we can at the same time SELL and BUY to keep our greatest cryptocurrency alive. I stand to be corrected and also we can add some to it as to what will happen.  

I Think it should be balance between hold and sell. Because if no one sell their crypto's I think the market is very affected. The supply can not be rotated it's all staggered in one places. And if no one will buy also the crypto's will die because there is no use. So again it should be balanced so that the cycle of cryptos in the market will be moved as normal it's vice-versa. Thats the rule of supply and demand.

[ABMARK]

The market needs to have a flow or a constant flow of transactions in order to keep the coins alive. If everyone holds, it will indeed make the market non active. This will jeopardize the future of the market as well as the coins. But the dilemma comes when the market is in a dip, it's either hold or sell. For that, this is where the strategic thinking comes to place.

[kram31]

the market will have no buy and sell then.
if all people will hold the price of demand will go high and high.
this will not stop until someone sell some.

[12tribes]

I don't think so. when we all hodl, that does not mean we should not sell when the markets are good. To hodl is the right thing to do when there is a crash or crisis or something negative happening to the price of the bitcoin, that way we prevent freefall and hyper inflation of the coin reducing its value on the market.

[rosemary4u]

 That is really true, the best thing to do to give bitcoin the value it deserves is to add value to bitcoin. We can all add value to bitcoin by  using it as a means of exchange for goods and services in our everyday lives. When this is done, there will be no need to worry about who hodl and dump or  price dropping, the price  will just be fairly constant like the usual fiat currency we use.

These are all currencies and must be spend on how it is created,but the problem is altcoins wasnt adapted by whole world as currency,and bitcoin the main crypto coin has been accepted in such limited countries so now tell me.how can we spend all coins?holding is what we can do now.and about bitcoin with its limited supply we must hold tp profit in future

[Jericka D Ranillo]

It shouldnt be happen, to make a currency still alive it needed to have a volume evryday that this thing will happen if there are sell order and buy order. We cant all choose to hold, intead of holding why cant we make the coin circulating. Just buy and sell in a short time. And note, if all try to hold, price isnt goes up,

[hasmukh_rawal]

That's not how it works buddy. Bitcoin especially is scarce and it functions based on the demand and supply. We know that the supply of BTC is limited and this makes it a scarce thing. The demand of BTC keeps rising and falling which directly relates to its price and hence the price goes up and down.
If the demand increases the price will increase whether or not you HODL.  If the demand decreases then the price will fall no matter you HODL or not.

[alex_gr_cc]

The situation when absolutely all of HOLD - this is unrealistic. Because of this, the exchange rate is unstable. There are always those who sell. In addition, there are large investors who have already invested in crypto. And sooner or later, they will want to profit from it.

[sphincter007]

If no selling and everyone will hold,i think its not  possible.Because no transaction involve.Selling and holding in crypto is everything.We need to sell when the market is good and to hold if we experiencing a bear market  but still  it  depend to your decision if you want to hold or buy.

That's unlikely, because many of the world's people have bitcoins, and it's very unlikely they'll hold forever. Selling and buying will always be in the market.

[brianross7]

the imbalance between the supply and demand will occur and the market would be dead actually. but in facts, it's hard to happen like that
because when the price increasing it will affect to holder and everything keep going like normal  

[mitchel_am]

I think there will always be people interested in cryptocurrency and it will be impossible for no one to sell anymore...but if it happens then maybe things will get stuck

[alinalovedoogie]

This is so true. If we just hold the coins the market will be dead soon. We should sell the coins then we should again buy it in a relative price. Transactions is must needed to keep the market alive.

[braZZers123]

I think if everyone keeps it, theoretically, the bitcoin price will go up. But it's very hard to implement, all we can do is popularize bitcoin among our friends and social networks.
