first term "HODL"

[Al-e_x]

this is interesting, because everyone will often make this decision. traders, investors, or speculators.

the term "HODL" appeared in 2013, and came from a GameKyubi post in this forum. with the big theme "I AM HODLING"

he posted the theme because bitcoin dropped to $ 600 from $1300.

and today, investors prefer hodl. but, what is the decision for traders today? or many investors are turning into traders?

[Coyster]

There is no general consensus or agreement as to which is the right path to take while investing/trading,it all has to do with which is convenient for you and likely to yield you profits after you must have studied the marketcap and make your own speculations/predictions

There are investors with a life long investment and wouldn't even sell if the price hits 50kUSD, there are also some who are waiting for a minor pump to sell off, decisions vary so does investments(capital)

Traders aren't much of hodlers and they are in for the short term profits, while investors trade long term (mostly invest with larger capital than the normal trader)and maximize larger profits

I think that the main rule is not to be a panicseller. If the price of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency increased, this does not mean that you need to go around. Hodl is more likely about panic situations in the market.

Yes. Hodlers and traders are two different things.

Hodlers tend to do nothing and are only waiting for the right time to sell. While traders, they are the ones that are actively trading regardless of the market condition, they will continue to trade, in dip or in bulls. No stats with this but majority now would choose to hold.

To be honest, as far as I remember correctly, he wrote I AM HODLING !!! - with a mistake - because he was drunk But that's not the point ...

When it comes to traders, it's doesn't matter for them whether the price falls or goes up, because they play by betting on the price.

As for investors who still HODL - nothing has changed - the philosophy is the same, everyone believes in the success of Bitcoin.

In my views, hodl or hold seems to be just the same where it was just actually misspelled and later people had adopted such word and now commonly used in the crypto community in every discussions. I believe that this hodl thing is normal a strategy for the long term investor considering that the investment he made may had dropped and decided to hodl and waited for it to recover. In the current scenario, hodl takes more than 2 to 3 months and even more as market seems to be bearish for a long time and the question is until when are these people doing the hodl strategy. Anyways, I am in favor of doing hodl and I guess the long wait may seem to over in a couple of months since the expected bullish market will be soon to happen.

This is a choice because everyone will want the best results. They try to make the best decisions and therefore they try to choose the best stratgey. This requires precision because without the best accuracy and analysis, we cannot get anything.


HODL means waiting and waiting this is a way to get the best momentum.

Bitcoin will only rise when bought by investors.
If it bought by traders, it will go dump when the traders got the profit.
So the only thing that can make bitcoin rise again is gaining new investors

Given the main conclusion of Chainalysis analysts about minimizing the influence of speculators and investors, it can be assumed that the price of BTC is influenced by fundamental factors: the actions of regulators or technological innovations.

Chainalysis also concluded that the first stage of accepting Bitcoin is complete. Users received enough information about cryptocurrency, and the client base is steadily growing, despite the fall in prices.

The researchers suggested that the market had become less susceptible to the hype and was neutral about the news flow, which, according to the report, can no longer push BTC prices up and down

Well if you want to hodl a crypto coins, i suggest you to hold on bitcoin, its the perfect time to keep bitcoin because the price is at the bottom, just be patient and dont rush, wait to rise and sell to earn profit.

[tonbit1239]

I am also HODLING. Learned my lesson from my previous experience for being a weak hands. HODLING doesn't necessarily mean you have to fully reserve your crypto. Make a profit from a portion of it and diverse it into other coins. Eventhough small gains can bring you great profit in the long run.

[amonymous]

Most likely hold is the good reason for increase your profit,it is the good think to hold after market down and wait panic situations.so everything we want to profit without any loss.so we have good choice hold after market down.

I agree with you on this. Since it can affect the market as a whole.

What I noticed during dips is that mostly those who do panic selling are newbies who doesn't believe in the technology.

They don't understand how the market work and they're too scared to lose some percentage of their investment.

Thank you for saying that, everyone also me using HODL word in big time. I did wonder where it came from, so thanks. I am hodler too but not with the bitcoin, my way is the catch to bounty hunters. After the ICO's the bounty hunters sells their bounty coins 1/5 - 1/10 price when the coins hit the market. So if you choose the right coin (ofcourse the ICO must finished succesful) you can make lots of money..

[Kprawn]

It's funny how a misspelled word can become a trend and then a recognised word in a community.   This is one of the things

that makes being involved with Bitcoin, so interesting.    A lot of creative and innovative people, coming up with new and

unique concepts and words. To answer your question ---> I will be Hodling 80% of all the coins I buy! ...20% goes back into

feeding the network of merchants that supports us. {no matter the price}

I think most of people are holding Bitcoin currently, there is a long downtrend and now sideways for last many days, uptrend may start sooner or later.
Considering risk in cryptocurrency one should calculate his/her risk appetite and and take decision accordingly.

[phelbaby]

Some investors have a different view about this,in the sense that some have decided to hold while others decide to sell or dump when they think it it not worth holding.

[LTU_btc]

Personally, I think that term HODL lost it's charm nowadays. Now it's way too often and in all possible context. Is it really fun when noob screaming HODL random shitcoin?
I'm not sure that today mostly investors prefer to HODL. Many of investors just can't wait so long and they open short positions. Some of them are doing it desperately and loosing even more money. So, you need know what you're doing and think wisely before making financial decisions in crypto world.

Probably the thing will happen again in the near future. We just have to wait and see it for ourselves without making any conclusions for now.

Still a hodler, well sometimes I try to trade jump in the bitcoin's up and high, may other coins volatility as bitcoin is on sideways.

Still the decision is to hodl I can make more profit doing this. Then paying all those commissions on low jumps.
