I think Hodl is most overrated term used in crpyto

[Sandus_Cryptolover]

HODL is very dangerous especially to those that bought at the top. Thus when the general market goes Red, they fall in loss then Hodl with a hope of the coin going up again but most won't times and if care is not taken, the coin goes down in value more and more.

"Hodl" is word used to much in crypto space but i think hodl can be dangerous for newbies mostly they will be shilled and hodl a shitcoin or hodl a solid coin for too long and wouldn't sell when time was right you will end up like me as there was time when i could buy tesla now i can only buy honda.

if it is counterproductive to be hold can be bad if you have a lot of time as it can also be beneficial everything depends on the price because if you keep it and instead of going low you are losing everything depends on the risk you want to take if you leave it in the long term or in the short term or what percentage you want to get from that investment

[LodisMcguire]

That's why you should do your research first before buying some coin,so that you don't get a shitcoin later.For bitcoin,hodl is not bad because we expect a long growth,so it's better to hodl instead panic sell,where you lose your money before the price up again.

the altcoin pumpers have always been using bitcoin to fool newbies into bag holding altcoins and lose money on them. they have been promising them big returns that never come. My opinion we have to understand the coin which one we thinking to hodl

oh my biggest mistake was i bought a shitcoin without any research and got rekt bad lately. hodl doesn't work for shitcoins and semi shitcoin only for bitcoin and few othe solid coins.

Hodling depends on the type of coin you want to HODL and it is individual based. One can choose to HODL for a few weeks and others can also choose to hodl for a longer period and I think people are not misusing it as you said.

holding is not dangerous as long as you study well what coins you want to hold, and also look at hydro it drops at first and it have a long cap pointing downwards it means it increases it value right now. we should always remember that in every investment their is a risk so you should not put what you cant afford to loose.

hold will be dangerous if done by someone who holds a coin is not good, because now this coin that has the potential if dihold would provide benefits. so I think there is nothing dangerous with hold.

That's why anyone participating in should DYOR first. Take the risks in accordance to your appetite. HODL has made many supporters rich or profits. Losses due to price decrease of coins are coming from many aspects as FUDS , weak hands, poor team performance, coins of no use already, lack of community trust etc.

[veleten]

HODL is more than just a term,besides it is not a term,but a meme
anyways,HODL is  a philosophy -you do not sell and stoically watch as the price plummet to the levels
where you are starting to have squeaky bum time,especially if you bought at 14.000-17.000$
but then you just repeat HODL,smile and life is beautiful again
untill you read the next portion of bad news and the price is breaking another low 

[abokhalel2]

It was not dangerous, this term is now dangerous because a lot of people choose to hold when the price touched $20000, and now they all are crying just like you. If you bought on $2000 and you are holding since then, would you be crying like now?

[Edward Wilkins]

It’s only a loss if you sell low. Crypto is like shrodingers cat. Only points that matter are what you buy and what you sell for anything in between is like checking to see if that cat is alive or dead. Until you sell it’s the only way to know if you’ve made profit. If you sell low and don’t hodl then that’s your choice.

[Sydney Chapman]

You should never invest anything you can't afford to lose in crypto. It's a volatile market with high risk and high rewards.

But if you're taking out a second mortgage to ride the crypto train then crypto isn't for you. I have fully accepted that the money I invested in crypto could turn to $0 tomorrow but it's a risk I'm willing to take because I can afford to lose it. Because I only invest what I can and not what I want to. If crypto disappears tomorrow I won't be bankrupt. But I'm willing to bet that the people that are panicking are the ones that are relying on crypto to pay bills and rent.

[Shamie1002]

There is no doubt that it is. What do you expect? It is what every user do and that is an essential within this industry. If no one holds then I think  there is no such  thing as a bit stable value for bitcoins or even a value reaching a thousand dollars.
I guess there is no other way of saying it and no one can avoid talking about it. It will always be a trend even the prices go up and especially very common when prices decreases.

[anggada18]

there must be how many factors why hodl, one of its own prospects why we hodl. mugkin less fortunate so out of hope. for some of our potentially hodl coins. it all depends on your mindset

[bitbunnny]

I can agree with that and I think that just holding isn't good for Bitcoin.
But many people feel the most secure with just holding because they don't want to take the additional risk by trading and investing although they might enlarge profit that way.
To get the best out of Bitcoin you should combine holding and trading or active use of Bitcoin in some other way.

[eternalgloom]

I just don't understand how this can be overrated. It's a good strategy when you think about it...
Yeah, you might say that it's better to sell when Bitcoin has reached a temporary peak, but it's because of hodlers that we didn't go back down again to sub $5000 levels.

I'd even go as far as saying the hodl is one of the most iconic terms in the crypto community.
It's history that has been made on this very forum!

this only becomes a problem when people start taking financial advice from random people online which they neither see nor know. and then most of the times people only read half the speculations and understand even less of it.
so they end up bag holding shitcoins thinking they have made a valuable investment and will become millionaires in a short time
