JUST CURIOUS

[Sterbens]

Cryptocurrencies are currently something that many see as a way to try to get rich, but we still know that not everyone will succeed - not everyone can be a good trader, but not everyone can be their own bank either.

your simple thinking is very precise and clear, and in fact comes back to the person, questioning their proficiency in managing their assets. because if there is no knowledge in managing a portfolio, I think 100 bitcoins will be depleted if they are not owned by those with a merchant mentality.
so, it's not about how much Bitcoin we have, but how smart we can manage Satoshi into 1 whole Bitcoin.

seeing top influencers buying into bitcoin and some going public to talk about shows bitcoin is a step ahead in the expected direction. everyone is probably buying and holding to sell at a higher price later. just curious to know how long these guys will hold bitcoin and what price they will likely sell ? is it even possible to know their mind ? but i am sure they are in for long term. what do you feel about this. ?

No one knows.  It is the same as I do not know what your plan if you have Bitcoin and at what price are you going to sell them.  But one thing is certain, they will sell it at a profit unless they are weak hands that can be shaken easily once the market crash.  Most of these guys have a target price and a fail safe exit.  Like if BTC surge and hit Y price and that Y price is the target of the BTC holder then he will sell it.  When or how long is unknown for sure.

So basically it's someone who has no idea what their taking about, but because of their skils tits people want to have whatever they have?

If it wasn't obvious yet: I don't like "social media" and all weird stuff they come up with.

Seriously, its actually getting annoying to see them spout nonsense, that they clearly don't understand, and haven't even given it a second thought about researching what they are promoting. I guess that's the way of the world with social media, get famous people with a large following, and promote something that's not even relevant to their audience.

I do feel there are some "infulencers" which are promoting it off their own back, because they've personally invested in it, but even then this should probably be considered market manipulation, and its them trying to benefit their investment rather than actually believing in it.

Well, that's their bread and butter. Whatever is the mainstream topic, events, investment, and everything circulating in the internet must be scoped by them and create content with only the most basic knowledge they got from the internet.
Others may have invested in some alts or even Bitcoin, but most of them only tackle about crypto investments just to expand the number of their followers/subscribers.

When it comes to selling decisions then this is something that cant be known, even if you do saw those influencers been shilling out that theyre selling but actually they arent doing it literally.

So you cant really tell until the price had made out some significant movement which is neither going up or down.No one can even know on what are the reasons on why the price is rising
up or going down.

Dont make yourself thinking up too much on when those fellas sell off their coins because there's no way that someone could know in regards into their selling
or holding decisions.

can anyone read people's minds here?
oh this is so absurd, no one could really do that. just as you ask who can read the future?
no one can really do it, everything related to things that are not certain to happen are called predictions. maybe that's what you mean? well, if so we can take advantage of the indicators on the chart to predict price movements. however, when it comes to influencers, it can hit TA, especially those with strong wealth and influence. because of the uncertain price movements that I am less interested in following influencers' leads.
it looks nice because prices can soar, but that unhealthy increase could drop rapidly at any time.

[nightxglow]

Well people are saying they will hold for a long time, but i'm pretty sure most of them have a target of profit. Like at what price they will decide to sell, maybe not all of their bitcoin, just some of their investment, gain some profits and then buy bitcoin again. I think only the rich who can hold for long, since they will still have money lingering left, they won't need to worry and can sell their bitcoin in the highest price. But normal people might be forced to sell their bitcoin when they don't have any money again, decided that it's enough just to take that much.

Nope.

You will never know until when they're going to hold and when they will start dumping the bitcoins that they've held. You can easily know who are those for the long term.

Yet, they will still hide when they'll sell.

[concept2]

They are here for long term. But it does not mean they will not sell their bitoin tomorrow. You have to understand the fact that they are the pioneers of the comtemporary uptrend and many companies have earned more than 300% by holding bitcoin. It is unsual if they not sell their bitcoin for a partial profit then rebuy it at a lower price. We cant not understand precisely anyone mind but we can predict the behavior of the same quality group of poeple.

Sell and buy bitcoin for a long term still count as long term investing, right? So be careful. Remember not to let yourslef being in FOMO or FUD by these montrous whaes

Can you guess someone's thought correctly? Of course not, except you have been even reading their written thoughts.
Well, it may be more to a prediction about their strategy.
During a bullish trend, I am sure that they will take profits, of course, even selling them all or even part of the entire amount.
However, they are also big influencers and public figures. They also know how Bitcoin, if they have the mission about BTC, they will hold it for long-term.

I guess you could know that by what they are buying bitcoins for. Is it For long-term business, to hold long-term, to make money from price volatility, to control the price, for show off, etc. This will probably give you an idea how volatile the market will be.

I believe that most of this heavy hitters like the institutional monies that have flown into Bitcoin would be mostly for the shorter term profits IMO because I really dont see them HODLing Bitcoin for years like regular investors do, their main aim is to turn around some quick investment cash out even if they might reinvest hence I to do believe we might be witnessing some usual volatility in the market.

Institutional investors don't trade for short term since it will take some time to liquidate there asset in case they want a short term trade. They usually set a target date or profit before they invest into something since they are investing using the money of people backing them. They study cryptocurrency first before they invest and I believe they saw that cryptocurrency future is profitable that's why they are investing big time.

They do (institutional investors) daily trades but they just have their clients investment locked in a plan.  That way they have the freedom to move their investors money without worrying for their client to cash out anytime outside the planned subscription.  If they don't do trades then where would they get the fund to pay their staff and bills.  Remember they are created not because of making their client profit but themselves to get profit from the money their client invested.

you won't know what is in their mind until they sold already. rumors spread like wildfire after they sell.

but you got to put in mind that the world monetary system is being reset. they won't waste a good covid crisis to take the opportunity so once it's fixed and covid stops there could be a slowdown and stable prices and then selling as well. things will change and could be permanent as well like covid passports and so on.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

We don't know when someone is going to sell their bitcoin but it is a good rule of thumb that they are going to probably sell when they have around a 50% profit margin or a bit higher of their capital. We don't have to wrry about them, just be alert about the prices so you don't miss out selling for a big profit.

[maxreish]

If you are a btc enthusiast and a believer of bitcoin, you will likely understand the feeling of holding it to the extent until you reached your goal profit. We cant also predict when do these bitcoin hodlers sell off their bitcoin, but for sure they will just sell some part and will continue to hold it.

Also, the fact that volatility is an opportunity for those hodlers to accumulate more, then there is a good reason for them to sell their bitcoin at set target high price then rebuy at low price if given a chance.

As of today, there is a lot of saying by which news and ads popping and showing up when I use my social media accounts that bitcoin can grow which pushes a lot of people to hold the bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.


So a lot of inexperience bitcoin holders or rather newbies tend to hold in but in the other sad part of the those who knew bitcoin a long time looks in the past that:

-History repeats itself

-Can possibly go up and later goes down, in short unpredictable.

-connected to the second it is unpredictable/ uncertain


As which I am not being much active by knowing updates and looking at the prices of bitcoin in the past few years I already learn that stop being greedy and learn to wait and hold as which I did I got a small amount of I was part of the people whose investment in Bitcoin went in the value of 3k. I focused on my studies and later on to my surprise last year bitcoin slowly going up that showed me history does repeat itself because it was a 2-time experience that for me that bitcoin hit 3k.

ALSO A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION

who are these top influencers? can you give up a name? I hope you won't be afraid we are safe here.

[davis196]

What do you mean by "top influencers"?Do you mean social media influencers?
Can you mention a few influencers,who bought Bitcoin and are bragging about it on social media?
Nobody knows when those influencers are going to sell their BTC.I assume that they aren't very skilled at crypto trading and most of them will panic and sell their BTC,after a price crash hits the BTC market.
I big part of them might be just lying about owning BTC.I call them "fake influencers".They are just bragging and flexing with something they don't have.

It is not easy to know anyone's mind, most people who are buying btc especially this institutions are buying for long term, I don't think they have any intention to sell a valuable asset like btc in a hurry when there are many more opportunities in future, besides, if they sell what other assets out there will they invest the funds on!

Influencers will be like any "newbie" out there, which means... when there are a slight drop in the price (10%) ...they will believe their followers that the sky is falling and they will be trigger happy and sell all their holdings.

It takes time and research for true traders to understand Bitcoin's volatility and how extreme the shift in the price can be. (A spike or drop of $1000 in one day is normal)  

[TastyChillySauce00]

They probably gonna sell at certain price point like $100K or even when their investments already double the initial investment but the thing is, each individual has their own preference same with these influencers however if it's an institutional investor I'm assuming they gonna sell when the the price of bitcoin already reaching their targeted price when they first bought it, I mean they must've done some calculation before even investing to bitcoin but maybe the sell off will be done gradually. Though regarding long term investment for influencers or institutional investors, I doubt they gonna set a certain period of time, pretty sure most of them are targetting the price not to the time.
