Good advice or bad advice?

[FireBallex]

I spent most of my time doing research on many altcoins, their old price to the present value and i find out that even if you sell your tokens today leaving few tokens worth few dollars for many years can worth something. For example if you left 9$ worth of bitcoin in your wallet since 2012 you would never have imagine what it will become today, in jan 2017 you can buy 5000 pieces of Ripple at 0.007$ which costs 35$ and in jan 2018 a XRP cost 3$ which turns 15000$, there are many examples like this on CMC, remember Tron too? My point is its bad selling off all your coins, if you needed money that bad always leave coins and tokens worth of few dollars left in your wallet just in case

I wouldn't term it as a good or bad advice because of a simple reason - destiny! I strongly believe that destiny drives us all and if destiny says that I will die as a billionaire, I will become one! We as a commoner, don't know how and when a coin will reach its ATH and we wouldn't know when to sell it off to book profit!

Similarly, while many people sold off their holdings back in later 2017 and brought home hard cold cash, there were another group of people who entered the market and suffered major financial loss due to their decision!

So it's not a clever thing to look back at past and regret for what I haven't done! It's always better to look forward and decide what I can achieve! Crypto market is one of the prime examples!

Stop clinging unto the past, focus more on the present for now and i am sure that there is more money to be made in crypto space, just find good coins to hold as long as you want, remember that its not easy to hold coins and remember that not all people start holding since 2010, some entered crypto space when the last bullrun of 2017 was already around the corner

It's a good advice mate and i have been doing this ever since i got into this space. My plan is to sell a portion of any token/coin i receive being it an ICO/IEO then keep some part of it. It's not advisable to hold all the coins of any project because most of them can turn out to be scams at any point in time.

Holding altcoin in the past is profitable, whatever you buy is definitely profitable, but it's different for now. Try to research altcoin now. It's a little harder to predict, for example, now to buy this coin for $ 0.15, then wait for the next few months what happens as unprofitable as the market used to be keep fluctuating and and bears still come to come.

It is easy to say than done when you are desperately in need of money. When that happens you will not care about saving because you need it desperately, it might be good advice but the situation will not let you do that. What I mean is, before investing your money and holding it. Always prepare or spare some money for your needs, instead of selling the majority of your holding and leaving a few altcoins why do not you manage your finances and then making a strategy so you can hold and live at the same time.

[MATHReX]

You made all these calculations based on past history.

It's easy to say that if I would have invested in coin A at this time and exchanged it for another B at another time when you already know whats going to happen.

Anyway, the real challenge is no one actually knows where the market will be heading in the future and holding alts even at a time of downward trend will definitely result in huge losses.

So, it is better to have a personal target and once you hit it, it's wiser to just cash out.

Yes it is true, sometimes what is said is far easier than doing. Sometimes we are too ambitious to benefit from altcoin and sometimes we don't think about our financial situation. It is true that we have to set aside some of our money to be able to continue to survive in crryptocurrency and be able to generate profits from it.

Comparing the old market with the present, it was not that complicated. More and more people are aware of the crypto market today and this increase has caused a different movement of everything related. So, do not expect that there will be such a big increase in the future as it happened in the past. Because the increase of community means more disagreement.

[LouVandetta]

It's neither good or bad. Don't expect too much with how market is doing now. That was back then, a die hard hodlers might have tons of profit if they bought few cheap altcoins and then the price became ten fold or more. But really, let's face it. It won't happen just like that, indeed, there is a possibiltiy if you buy now and hodl for a few years just like what happened few years ago. But it doesn't guarantee you the same result.

Well, at least it won't kill you if you still wanna hodl some coins for the next few years. Who knows if it becomes quite expensive, that if fortune was on your side.

[jets567]

I must say that its a good idea to leave few coins when you need to sell them becuase we don't know what will happen in the future. Crypto market history may repeat but it might take some years considering the market movement these days. Everyone is waiting for another bullish market and if you want to maximize your profit, just hold and buy more during dips.

[Byakuga]

Its a good advice, whatever coins or tokens i earned i always make sure i sell some and hold the rest and that is even if the project looks very promising, holding new coins can be devastating at times, they can die even before a year or two

[BigBos]

if the price is not worth it, I will not sell my assets. Well, the years before 2017 taught us a lot about holding our assets. right now there is the same potential as 2017, well, I won't sell my coins now. although it's not like 2017, I think it will happen or repeat every year. remember this year, it happened in June. although different, but the increase is there. Well, I think in 2020 the increase in crypto prices will also occur

[OasisDre]

Good projects will always have high demand and high demand will result in more scarcity, i belief any altcoin can still change anyone's life, real use case projects will never go wrong, let this be for aim now if you want good result in future

@FireBallex it’s a good advice but leaving few dollars in bitcoins is not going to help you, because back then prices were very low so people that decided to hodl thier crypto’s did benefit from their decision. However in current scenario one needs to buy on dips, and hold a good amount of funds in crypto’s to profit from their holdings in the long run. While there’s no doubt that people often need to sell their crypto’s because of sudden financial emergencies, and for this I suggest only to invest thier surplus funds which will reduce the need of selling thier crypto’s.

Just don't forget which ever wallet you use and alt you invested. Some alts tend to change in their use or assigned wallet or exchange so we need still to be updated. While it's good to left them so we don't worry whether they increase or not, we still need to be updated for development that alt is up too or atleast read teams announcement since they are changing sometimes that we need to do actions to not lose our token.

[Doell]

in this case the future no one knows for a moment about investment whether bitcoin or altcoin will be even higher in price mate ,well all of that is more appropriate to the community if we work together then it will become a reality right ,good advice if the investment in long term but still the risk must be known if you invest history maybe repeated in the future but it must remain realistic

[ethereumhunter]

Sometimes we underestimate the coin and don't expect that coin can be worth it in the next year. I think we already see that before and now, many altcoins still have the potential to increase in the next year. But I think the situation will be different now as the altcoin still not rise higher than the last year. But we see that some altcoin is still trying to break the higher price so the chance will be there. That could be good advice not to sell all of the coins and leave some amount for the next waves. But if we can compare bitcoin and altcoin, I think it is worth to have bitcoin than altcoin to be held for a long term because bitcoin price will increase in the long term while altcoin cannot always increase in the long term.

[#Darren]

Yeah sure it is a good example, but you need to see the future to make such trades. It is real that people just forget about several bucks in BTC, but to invest those money into right coin at the right time and repeat it several times is impossible.

I do not understand what you are saying, because it is very clear that a good project will always have high demand, but I do not understand the statement you say "high demand will produce more scarcity" if you can explain the words that exist in the quotation mark?
