Don't be discouraged! Keep holding.

[boyshx]

I bought bitcoin when it was around $14,500 in January and I am still holding because I am not discouraged.  I have great hope that bitcoin is going to increase in price and volume in some years to come. 

That is great because you will be receiving nice profits if you do hold it until the time when it crosses those big time values. I know its hard for you but you courage tells everything to us and you must keep up the holding until bitcoin reaches 20K USD or above rates. Now no one can say that its impossible to reach those prices because we already saw the events of 2017 december and hence you should keep in mind there is nothing hard to reach those values. I guess whether its new comer or oldest person in the crypto community they should see this and get motivated.

I think you are a good description of an investor. An investor that is open to losses and looking forward for the future of his investments, not a trader, not a trader that always want to buy on the dip and sell on peak. Great choice mate, you have a strong hand.

I can say a lot of user are in the same foot as you are now.

That is why we see a lot of bear market. They are all having problems controlling themselves and are in panic.
With that, making threads like this might get their hopes up. Same as you are now.

We should be keeping this kind of positive reactions. Keep them from holding for a good thing coupd happen afterwards.

Instead of selling it out of nowhere because of panic, holding it is a great idea so you will not lose the profits that you could make in the long run. I'm also holding my bitcoin just like you, and patiently waiting for the bull run, I have no accurate information when is that going to happen but I'm hoping that it would happen again before this year ends.

in the business world certainly there is profit and loss statement, sometimes lonely, sometimes known as the rame market from there don't get discouraged keep the spirit and keep trying, because the process does not betray the results

[Siminarota]

Be patient because only patience can make a profit for you. Trust me, that's the truth

[rayk]

Really you have bought at high price, you could sell it and buy at lower price but when it hits $50.000 that will not be issue.

If you are a Hodler then it’s cool for you but in my opinion you have lost many opportunities since then till now as I am taking it on behalf of a trader. But hodling is the best approach when you don’t want to take any more risk. Wish you best. I hope this bearish phase we face will end somewhere in 2019. As we know history repeats itself and we have saw it many time in crypto that hodlers are the winners in the end. They get the fruit for their patience and dedication.
Hodling needs a real big heart and a cool mind, to see the current price it is not easy for majority of the people to look at this price and the price that you have purchased.

That is the spirit mate, keep holding it tight until it gives you a profit.

Thank you for the encouraging words and I really believe that in two to three years to come we would get more profits than those that buy in 2014, bearish market and sold last December.  I am seriously hopeful that we would make money if we can hold and be patience!

I'm encouraged by your posts, too. I know I'm not alone in this boat
Happy holding!
We are going to win in the long run! I know it.
Remember an old saying?

I assume that as you are a Sr.Member this was not your first acquisition of Bitcoin?

Anyone with a good understanding of bitcoin and what it was designed to do knows
that increased adoption is inevitable and it takes time.

Long term outlook of bitcoin is essential unless you are a trader looking to make gains.

[boakyei]

It is good to have a long term view before investing in bitcoins. At least two to three years if you want to see a good profit from your investment. Holding it will pay off so keep it up.

[aghedo1]

True bitcoin enthusiastes will not be deterred even as bitcoin has shown that there is a limited it will not fall below, some were expecting a 4k $ bitcoin or back to the levels before the bull. Over a long period, the price of btc is always upward

Amazing, you are the one who is really having the trust over the crypto currency and specifically bitcoin itself. I like your confidence of holding the bitcoin after being in loss by -40% or around. In this market we can see more dumpsters than holders and more panic sellers than holder so this is why you are very much heroic in terms of bets holder.
You should keep up the holding as it is because all your efforts of holding will be paid to you soon. Cheers! 
New comers should really read this post because then they will understand what it takes to hold!

I agree with you. Such the persevered HODLERS who bought bitcoins for a high price and still didn't sell them on the crypto exchange markets help Bitcoin to stay on the current levels. If these owners will tired to wait for recovering markets, they will sell their coins and the BTC price will go down deeper. Eventually, the "whales" want to force the "hamsters" to sell them Bitcoin for a cheap price and loose their wealth. Total respect to such HODLERS!

Strong mentality indeed. People should do the same thing given that the loss of profit might be partial especially if you haven't sell early. The amount of investment is still the same and it is just the value which is changing. Once recovery takes place despite of lack of assurance when, things will again be turned and profit will surely be earned by those who are patient.

I also bought some bitcoin that time and I still holding on it. Its true that we should not be discourage because bitcoin will rise again. For sure bitcoin is just preparing for a big pump and we should be ready for that. So many negative news about bitcoin but we should not believe on that, focus on bitcoin technology and you will be amazed.

Of course bitcoin right now is always consolidating and prepping for a big run. But we have to understand that investors are very reluctant to go and invest right now. So if we buy bitcoin above $10K then we can't do anything but to hold for a long time and wait till it recovered. The question is when will that happen? No one knows for certain. So be patience and don't panic might be around the corner.

[pobeditelvezde]

You are right and I agree with you completely but a quite large part of investors cannot afford themselves to hold bitcoin very long time because of various reasons. I also consider that investors should not sell their bitcoins at least while bitcoin is beneath 10000$ because it is obviously for me that bitcoin will probably achieve 10000$ in this year so selling bitcoin lower 10000$ is equally loosing money. I consider that every investor must be patient to achieve desired aims so I am going to continue holding my bitcoins and ethereums.

You arent the only one and even those people who bought on 19k usd supposed to be holding or majority of them do already panic sell. Even myself do able to buy on 10k price but still im not really much affected on when the price would break even since i dont still need too much btc to spend on or actively be converted to fiat. Im still holding those coins in my hardware wallet though and for those people who do the same then just keep still and be patience coz sometimes temptations to sell on panic is there.

Well, thank you to hear that both of you that I'm not alone on keep holding. Me too, I also invested in bitcoin on the month of January at this current year but I didn't expect that it will be dropped too much until now bitcoin has not recovered yet at the price when I was bought bitcoin. So, I don't have a choice to keep holding on it in my wallet, and I don't want to cut my losses because as of now I don't need money maybe I can be used it if I have an urgent needs.

It good to see that you guys actually said something which will inspire the newbie or inexperienced crypto currency investors that bought their coins during the last all time high price.
I really respect you guys because we have seen àlot of complain thread opened by the people who ought to be advising newbie. How ever, you guys will recover your loss by next year or 2020 that's for sure.

[enawati]

I also loss so much money in altcoin because alot of altcoin dumped hard, but i believe the price will going up later higher than price that i bought it. Crypto is not dead but this bearish season just temporary and will end later. Patient to holding will give big reward later.
