I guess nothing, and just continue to HODL.
If you have been here long enough to see the ups and downs of bitcoin, then you shouldn't be affected even if the prices goes down to $3k levels again. Just ask yourself why are you still here in the first place?
Just don't panic simply as that, if you are here to make money in the future then seeing your portfolio going down is just a test.

If I was to go back in time to December 2017, I would've traded my BTC for USDT to maintain their value. Then I would've used my USDT balance to buy more BTC when the price plummeted to $3.5K. But there is always a risk associated with anything we do. What if BTC jumped to $50K while my money was in USDT? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) A smarter option might be to keep a portion of the balance in BTC and a portion in USDT.

That is not just the painful part. When we see the price going high we still dont sell. That is how a hardcore holder do it. Just stay in my bag. Don't move. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) We see the price fall and also be on its ATH and yet we dont do anything about it. I wont say I dont have the courage for I do trading with different coins. But there is something in me that always tell I should not sell my bitcoin but rather add more when profit comes from trading other currencies.

Patience is one of the best thing that need to learn of any investors or traders because we cannot know when the time price go up or down. I'm still waiting for the $7k range of bitcoin and I will buy more if the price go back to $3k then I will buy again for long term holding this is my strategy, holding is not painful aa long as you know to manage your fund in any cost.

Nothing to wonder, we all know well about the price change of bitcoin. From April it took a strong forward move, and this at some price point is predicted to reach new ath. Suddenly it broke the $13000 barrier which gave everyone the hope of new ath. This didn't sustain for a long time causing drop below $10000 and now it is staying good above $8000 with better resistance for a forward push than downwards.

In as much as I always look up to the price to stay up to date, I don't get hooked in it. I try as much as possible to don't get influenced by FUD cause it always comes whenever there are price dump. There are some investors who just create panic during these dump periods, just try not to get emotional about it. To me, getting hold of your emotions is just the smart way to go about on crypto hodling.

I like that thinking. A lot of people act like a bunch of self-proclaimed experts where we are today, while there was no way to know what the market would do before it peaked out around $20,000. I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if it would increase well past the $20,000 level with how irrational the market was. Nothing made sense anymore at that point. It's important to take into consideration that people technically didn't even care what price they bought at. All they cared about was to obtain x amount worth of Bitcoin or Ethereum to buy into an ICO. $10,000 worth of Bitcoin at a price of $20,000 is the same as $10,000 worth of Bitcoin at $50,000. People bought Bitcoin to directly transfer it to the ICO they wanted to invest in. It wasn't meant to be a long term hold.

I think saving in a smart way will make you able to get more profit than just holding an asset by leaving it alone, there are many ways to be able to get a lot of profit when holding a coin, you should be able to learn the pattern well.

I never bothered with the market price, whether it fell to 1000 usd, I still believe BTC will go up because the market is showing bullish, and the chart shows an uptrend, the chart never lies, that's why I prefer being a smart holder without doing anything, because it's fun.

Many people are confused about what smart holdling is like, let's talk a little. Smart holdling means storing coins that can bring profit in the future. In my opinion, most crypto players are smart holdling without them knowing. But which so the problem is only a few who have confidence in the coin that has been chosen for holding it. Well at this stage many switch to just holdling. because coins have been sold before touching the highest price. Because it's true smart holdling will wait until the point where the coin has brought a large profit, then released or sold the coin. Oh dear there's nothing really wrong with just holdling, the important thing is that we both get profits. What distinguishes the magnitude profit earned only. So it is up to each person to want to be smart holdling or just holdling.

I use to buy Bitcoin and just hold it for a long time but since I already witnessed Bitcoin spiked up and dropped like a ball, I don’t hold on to it for a long period of time. Nowadays when I place a Buy order, I always have a Sell price in mind. If you don’t plan your exit ahead of everything, you will end up witnessing your money going down the drain. When you buy at $8,100 today at what price do you plan to let it go? I said price because if we look at days weeks or months, lets say you committed yourself to Sell after 60 days and yet the price on that day is below your Buy price, are you going to proceed and Sell? I am not an expert trader, but when I trade, I see to it that I can earn at least 2% -3% then move on.

Since the market isn't going well yet, then holding should not be an option of the traders who can manage to trade well. Holding smart maybe is holding only coins that have plans to update in the future or those top altcoins now, holding should be smart trading since we can still able to earn if we learn how to read graphs and indicators rather than holding it and just wait for outcomes we don't know when will happen.

What OP means by "smart holding" is we have to stay alert on checking the price of the altcoins we have for us not to miss the chance to sell it on the price that we want to earn profits and "just holding" means you have no idea what you are doing, you are just hodling because it is what the majority does, you are just waiting for the bull run even you could make profits while waiting for that one.
makes no sense if you hodl and dont know anything on why you entered that business. the one you said about making profits while hodling/waiting, i think that is not what you call an investment but that is already a trading . hodling takes time to earn unlike to trading that you need to scout for the possible opurtunities to earn. smart holding is still better than hodling alone due to the smart root word . it means that your working smarter

No matter how smart we are, holding becomes worthless.

I don't feel it's painful because I believe every time bitcoin price drops, the price will rise back, no matter if it increases in a long time. But I only feel oh wow, I need to convert more bitcoin to get some cash, hahaha.
But we can be smart people if we can sell bitcoin at the very highest price and hold that money for buying bitcoin at the very lowest price. We will see bitcoin price will reach more than $100k, but we also have a chance to see the bitcoin price will reach the lowest price.
So whenever we see bitcoin can hit the highest price, we should sell bitcoin right away so we can take the money. It's not good if you don't have a target price to sell bitcoin because that will makes you wait for a long time without knowing what the best price for you to sell is.

Do both, Smart holding by trading part of what you hold on a few coins, analyze some coins that will go up and take advantage of every bounce while waiting for bitcoin to rise again. Since the market isn't going well yet, then holding should not be an option of the traders who can manage to trade well. Holding smart maybe is holding only coins that have plans to update in the future or those top altcoins now, holding should be smart trading since we can still able to earn if we learn how to read graphs and indicators rather than holding it and just wait for outcomes we don't know when will happen.
When I hold bitcoin then I will not be affected by price going up and down, I will sell it in next few years, that's what it's called holding. @OP talks about holding and in my perspective smart holding is a trade like what you say while just holding is holding and not being affected by market fluctuations.

Here you go, there are lot of people like you. It's normal. The best thing to don't want to worry, simple, just invest what you afford to lose. I know that advice is really popular and generic but that's work. And the example is you, you are worried especially when Bitcoin is only doing some price correction. You are worried because you are afraid to lose your hard earned money putting in Bitcoin. Just think some whales out there who are believer on Bitcoin since the beginning and hodling Bitcoin no matter how the huge the volatility on Bitcoin's price.

Many of us here are hardcore bitcoin believers. If you are anything like me, you've put most of your savings in bitcoin.
Mate I'm not like you because I'm too scared to fully trust btc. I know the posaible profits but at the same time I'm aware of the risk which I face that's why I'm only taking few portions of my money and invest on it. What do you think would be a smarter way of hodling bitcoin other than standing still, bag in hand, while watching the price go back down to the $3K range?
Hmm, what we are doing is already called smart hodling. We buy on a lower price, wait for the time btc's price increase and then sell. That's all you can do if you are a pure long term hodler. Our success mostly depends on fortune and time. If btc is stabilizing on the $10k mark then so be it, if the price finally rise then thank God. You know what I'm saying? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Smart hodling vs just hodling? Firsf of all let's differentiate smart hodling and smart hodling. Smart hodling or holding is where you put your savings and buying coin and holding it until the very big pump up that may come, so that they can earn a lot of profit. While just holding means your just holding your coins and nothing will happens because you will go out once you need a money for emergency purposes. smart holding is considering the fundamental factors of the coin and the roadmap itself

Several people mentioned that when the price goes down, it's a good time to buy more bitcoin.
Following that same logic, wouldn't a smarter way of holding bitcoin involve selling it when the price starts going down only to re-buy a larger quantity (for the same $) when price stabilizes?
Thats consider a smarter way to hold more bitcoin ether and thats realy the trading job do. Buy low and sell high and buy more in low again and again but it depends on a trader also there are some trader who do that and there are some that loves to just hold and hold for long term. If you can manage to follow the trend and you are willing to risk your chances, there's lot of traders who are working with this kind of trading strategy, it's tough and risky but if you do succeed you then increasing your assets. By keep repeating the process you'll be learning much deeper ways of investing your money, trading is the place where opportunities are open to those who are willing to work and succeed.
