A lesson for a lifetime. I learned my lessons, how about you? are you?

Those who bought on July 2010 probably have sold their Btc when it was priced at $100, those who sold at $1,000 probably was considered as a strong hodler.  And those who bought Btc five years ago probably has sold when It reached a $19,000+ ATH in 2017.
So, I guess a lot of em would be learning the lesson then?

Not hodling means you don't trust Bitcoin even If it has been constantly increasing every year.

I've learned to hodl and it's a good thing to see the price of bitcoin going up to $50k-$60k and still managed to hold.

I've learned the lesson and even though I'm also one of those people that haven't sold a lot during the ATH on 2017, still that's a lesson that you shouldn't be selling all that you're holding.

Predictions for this year are crazy and increasing yet possible to reach.

This article is purely for analysis, but I find the approach they show about Hodl interesting:

Oops! A 100% Bitcoin hodl outperformed CNBC's 2017 altcoin basket by 170%

"An equally weighted basket of the top 5 cryptocurrencies has underperformed Bitcoin by over 50% over the past 7 years," he summarized.

Source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/oops-a-100-bitcoin-hodl-outperformed-cnbc-s-2017-altcoin-basket-by-170

It bodes well for those looking to profit from altcoins, there is talk of a possible altcoin season. It is a totally successful approach to the intelligence of doing Hodl, Bitcoin is the safe asset, although the season of Altcoins has not yet arrived as many expect, I believe that no currency will give the best profitability than BTC, in the same way all altcoins depend on BTC movements.

Yeah, holding might be the simplest thing to be done since you wont really be doing anything but you know that people are way different to each other which means not all would really be having the patience.

There are people who had bought on that 2010 but do sell out their holdings when bitcoin hits up ATH in further years and didnt able to hold up until this very moment.Well, thats unfortunate but

still not a bad move that had been done because as long you do make money or profit then that counts.Its just that really not similar or big differences between numbers and that
would really talk about humans no contentment. hehe

Not only the power of holding bitcoin but off all coins. Like most people say holder always win, and I also feel the same, I just can feel big profits if I hold my asset, if I just trade it will end with regret, If I'm profits from trade, I will happy for a week or a month but a few months later will regret it

So hold all your assets

Be careful in doing this as a lot of alts are not really worth holding. Only few of them are worth keeping. If you will hold all coins that you are collecting, I bet, you will regret it later. Bitcoin is an exception though. So need to take a very good assessment when it comes to alts. A lot of them will die in few months or years upon introduction to the market. Look at those eth tokens that were long gone. If you are an early adopter of these eth tokens, you will understand. Most of them were dead already and just clutter in your wallet.

[kawetsriyanto]

Yep, we know it but Holding isn't easy as you think. There are many challenges for holders. Not only about up-down the price on the market, but also there are many negative issues happening. Moreover, if there is a ban issue coming from big countries like USA, China, or Russia. A weak holder is often influenced by this strong negative issue. So, don't only view the power to take potential big profits from hodling, but consider the challenges as well. Traders don't experience it as holders did!

Life is full of "IF ONLY". Regrets are always there.

That's how motivation works, people can say it works when they have succeeded or tell some experiences of successful people.
I don't like hodling but that doesn't mean I'm unsure. The market situation has its own challenges in every moment of fluctuation. I trade every day to accumulate quantity and spend part of it. What I think is, I don't worry too much if my investment choice is wrong in the end because I have always enjoyed every portion of the profits on the weekend every week or month. And yes, I have enjoyed my happy time for a long time before the hodlers reaches his happiness

If we know, bitcoin will be worth it today, and I am sure many people will see mining bitcoin and buy so many bitcoins.
But we do not know what will happen in the future, and at that time, people underestimate something that looks fun and not interests in cryptocurrency.
Besides that, cryptocurrency was introduced to a small group of people and we know that in that year, the media promotion is not as big as today, so that did not help the cryptocurrency.
Even if people have many bitcoins, maybe a few people can still hold their bitcoin until now and they are making a lot of money.
I am sure we have learned the lessons.

[maxreish]

It has so much value now. Though it was late for me to know bitcoin, 3 years ago I have met this great cryptocurrency and never had a doubt to invest and buy. Then Ive learned about holding. There's another option of trading but I preferred holding few parts of bitcoin.

And today, proudly say I never regret holding it until now. Bought bitcoin at $5k and still hodling giving trust to it's potentials.

[poodle63]

I see that trading is a lot more bumpy road than investing but investing is the one that gives more profit in the long run in crypto space.
It just seems that trading in crypto is not really worth it since the profit gained could posibly far behind hodling and just letting our coin sitting in our wallet. I was losing a lot in trading in the past and man I was hoping i would've never touched my crypto instead.
now i'm trying to accumulate my crypto asset again.

[leea-1334]

I would add that the power of hodling is also nothing without the power of using. If you read the forum goods and services and see how people use BTC to pay and sell things,,, then you realize very much just how it is so important to have people actually using Bitcoin to give it value.

If everyone only hedl then who is using it and giving it value?

Not hodling means you don't trust Bitcoin even If it has been constantly increasing every year.

I hope some of them kept a percentege even if they sold when price rose. If you sell just a percentage of your Bitcoin holdings when price goes up, you can enjoy profits while remaining invested, like selling 25% when price reached $100, another 25% when it reached $1,000 and so on.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

yeah I understand. At the end it relies on your own decision as there is nothing for granted here. we are hanging around $56k mark and we don't be surprised if we hit $100K in next couple of months. There is no doubt of the future of BTC, just see the chart how far we have come. HODL!

100k is still a lot of number and saying that we will reach it in a next couple of months is not yet feasible in that scale but I do believe that this year it will reach the 6 digit price in USD but I think that it will be around the ending months of this year, in the meantime just hodl your bitcoin or invest some of it in a bankroll if you can because you can't just make a stagnant bitcoin, make it earn some interest.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

In those early days, we really don't know that bitcoin will go like this. In 10 years, from $1.00 to $60k, that is really huge. But I'm sure those early bag holdes have sold already because they didn't see that bitcoin will grow tremendously. The lesson though is that it is not too late, we can still buy today and hold till the next 3 halving and hopefully by that time the price is already in the 6 digits or more, still a good investment.

Imagine, $1 invested in Bitcoin in July 2010 is worth $800,000 today.

After all, it's just the imagination. If everyone knows the future, everyone would be all rich and the inflation rate will drive crazy

Look at the value of $1,000 invested in bitcoin five years ago

I have to admit that bitcoin is the most valuable asset to invest in. Mostly because it is a new invention which is believed to change the world in a significant range. And it does make a big change on the digital world and people can see bitcoin from all over media and news

Not HODLing can be hazardous!

Trading is hard. But if you tame it, you will be rich with any kind of asset you can find. Opportunity can exist one time in your life. But you can earn new knowledge circadian

A lesson for a lifetime. I learned my lessons, how about you? are you?

Can you be more specific about your lifetime lesson? I personally think that being patient is the key of success. But how can we anticipate a correct asset to invest?

[Fundamentals Of]

I am very much aware and a believer of the power of hodling. I am also hodling myself. But there are times when I cannot avoid trying to take the opportunity of trading. I am not really good in trading but there are times when the prices are so high that I think it is best to just sell and wait for the correction and buy back cheaper. During ATHs I am really attracted to sell a portion because sooner or later there will be a correction.

You could be right yes because hardly you would see a hodler since 2010 investing and hodling same till this time. But is a big lesson for we all . It is still showing that bitcoin is still growing , investing now may still be early time.

The one thing that can change is that investors now won't be in a hurry to sell with the chronology of price history.

[Lucius]

There is no point in crying for a missed opportunity, especially to go back to 2010 when few knew that Bitcoin even existed. I also don't believe that anything can be learned from all this with BTC, only if someone thinks that something new and better than Bitcoin will appear?

Recognizing the right financial opportunity is something few people have a nose for, because if it weren't so, there would be fewer poor people in the world than the rich - and we all know that's not the case. For all those who think BTC has a future, don’t be discouraged by the current price and invest as much as you can afford and you won’t be sorry even if you lose.
