Do long term holding profitable in all cases?

[bitcoin31]

You have the rights to continue or give up, ethereum is most potential coin I understand you because you lost money that you invested but the market now are doing greata again and for sure it will become higher again and ethereum also fro sure so I think the best decision that I want to see in you is the hope and stick to continue to hold the ethereum.

Should I continue holding my ethereum? Am a believer of long time holding but am currently beginning to lose faith due to fact that I have been experiencing constant decline in my major coins that I have been holding since late 2017. The coin in question is ethereum which I have been holding since when its value was around $1,300 and now its value is now less than $200 per one.

It is not profitable in all cases. If you hold some shit altcoin, then there is a very high chance you will be making some serious "loss" on the long run. Invest only on coins that are well known and has a very active community and support. Only those coins will very highly likely give you some good profit on the long run. Bitcoin is one such good example. Look at the charts. You will see that in the long run, everyone who has been holding has made some profit (skip 2017).
Keep holding your ETH. You haven't made any loss yet as long as you are holding it and not selling it.

according to me it is worthwhile to continue to make a long term hold strategy with the ethereum, i believe that next year they(eth) will reach a value of at least 1000 $ i personally will not sell under a value of at least 600 $, in the meantime you could put them in lendind on ethlend or nexo...

You have obviously mistaken the duration of a long term. You have bought ether at the highest price and now the price is very low.
You ll definitely have to wait until it rises. I am holding ether myself and will probably hold it until it crosses $1500.
Besides that a long term generally means 3-5 years at least. So consider waiting more to earn more.

Everything has happened and in my opinion there are actually some who experience it like you and there are those who still hold it and some sell it when prices are still high even though there are still losses.
and inevitably you have to hold it because the price difference is so far that you have to hold it and there is no other choice even though it takes a very long time until the price exceeds or the same price when you first have it.

Same here but I still have faith in this project. Just wait since they are still active and will have an upgrade this December.

Holding shitcoin or another unpopular token is a NO. They lost more value over time, especially when major cryptocurrency declines. Better to have a cut loss setup in your trading, so that when it is triggered it will automatically sell just to minimize more losses.

For me, no long-tern holding bitcoin and another cryptocurrency can't totally guarantee you that it will be profitable because no one can say that cryptocurrencies price will increase after 2-3 years or in the future. Most people are just saying that if you bought bitcoin at its highest rate, which is almost 20k, just hold it even no one can say that bitcoin's price will increase at that year/ moment. Just hold it and believe that bitcoin can rise again because there are only a few ppl that predicted that bitcoin would reach at 20k. They can only predict if the value will increase or decrease depending on there TA; also, take note that is not 100% accurate. But what are the reason why you invested at bitcoin and other cryptos ? just hold on the reason and don't overthink too much, especially if you can afford to lose the money that you invested.

Not in all cases if your long term is not actually long term. People forget that most people will not hold their coins for 50 years, for example when people who bought from 300-500 levels saw that $20k price they sold, were they smart to do that? Sure, the price went down afterwards and hasn't recovered back ever since yet that doesn't mean it is long term, it is still short term, it is a profit but it is a short term profit.

Long term is when you hold something 10+ years, it is not impossible, I have been holding my bank of america shares for over 10 years now, bought them in 2009 and it is been a bit over 10 years. So, if you are willing to hold your coins for 10+ years then sure you can make a profit, there will be down times and there will be up times but in the end after the 10th year I am sure it will always be profitable.

We have no choice if our holdings become a shitcoin mate, that cannot be foretold when the cryptocurrency market falls down at crucial stages. Holding our funds should be done even though the value slumps, and yet that the last resorts that are needed to do. Always find adequate alternatives like diverting with other coins, just to avoid waiting for your shit-coins to recover one day. But for those who were planning with new investment, much better if we avoid those coins with no trading volumes to be included in their lists.

It is pretty tought to say right way early, we ain't no authotiry nor has any reputation for you to believe. Besides crypto currency are unpredictable. What's for real is that ethereum is still on the top list of alts which still possible to pump as if it is a bitcoin among altcoins. Well you could still believe it yourself like many others did.

To be honest after bitcoin the only coin that I trust the most is only ETH and it is good coin that never remains down forever it has the ability to overcome faster than other altcoins so I’m not going to sell my ETH at all if the price falls instead of adopting cut loss I will prefer holding as getting such an amazing coin at $500 is great opportunity.

It's simple and my understanding of holding is simple. Bitcoin is not just a coin but also a brand and this brand is recognized all around the world. I'm sure that one day it will be worth much more than today.

ETH is an important coin that most of the time follows Bitcoin. That includes today when Bitcoin lost 5% ETH followed and also dumped at the same time.
This makes me believe that ETH will pump along Bitcoin. Hold it if you want but remember that BTC is better and more recognized. It's just safer to hold BTC.
