in between the decision to hold or sell

[cabron]

I think it depends on the coins he is holding, if the coins he is holding are good coins or have bright prospects for long-term investment, then he can hold them, but if the coins he is holding are shitcoins then he better sell them and buy coins that are good, such as ETH, BNB, etc.

His friend could be holding a good token. There is no reason why he would have doubts whether to sell or not if the token doesn't have the chance to perform well and that he can profit exponentially.

You just don't know when the team of the project could turn rogue though. If that is what he thinks to which the token has;t rise up after 3 months of its development phase despite the updates, I say sell it for another token like ETH.

Just suppose, we have had some "Cartesi" or "Ferrum network" since last year. Now what will you do, hold it more until the last quarter. Because both the projects are really good for me. 5k or 10k percent are really very high pumps, so my advice is to sell your tokens during the next pump. One coin can't make you very rich at a time. So many altcoins prices are below ROI and ICO.

I do not think much about the investments of those around me. everyone's investment is under their own responsibility. I don't want to mislead people. If I say sell with 80 percent profit, she might be mad at me why I didn't get 90 percent profit. People are greedy and love to blame someone else. whether he wants to sell it or lose money, but decide it himself. Manage your own investment. I do not give any idea to anyone, I do not interfere with anyone's investment.

having a conversation with a friend today , he was asking me if he should sell or hold a coin. i didnt give a straight answer, i just told him the project is a good one that can do well but if you are willing to wait then you can hold but if you need some money then you can sell off. he then replied that he will wait for an additional 25% increase before he would sell off. i think i tried my best to let him make his final decision himself. is there any better way to do this? if it were you, how would you respond to this. ??

Just tell him if he's satisfied with the profit that he's about to take with that project, he should sell. But if he's believing on it in the long term, he should at least hold it and give it a chance.
We're in the altcoin season and this isn't going to last long as long as it's there, you get your profits and don't regret upon selling when you've taken your profit.

That is right. That is why setting a target profit is very important especially now that we are in alt season wherein pump and dump coins are everywhere. Also, being updated, informed and knowledgeable about your holdings will give you great profit and income.

Sometimes we really get confused on making decision to sell or hold a coin, most times we just sell off and the coin double or hit x10 of the price we sold and we sit back and regret selling.
The best thing to do is to gather enough money for your up keep so you won't be moved to make use of some important coin, the more you spend less the more coin you'll hold, the main reason we sell is because we ran out of money and we have no option buy to look back to our holdings. Is very important to eat less and save more I'll say, that little coin you look than on today can become your ticket to a million dollars in future.

Sell half then leave the other half for long term. Time will come that the coin you are holding has a possobility to go lower than the price you bought it when bear market happens. Selling half means you will be able to have buying power at a cheaper price or any other coins on sale on that moment. Waiting for more gains will just leave you at a disappoinment if that coin is aleady at its peak and it dumped after few days.

If your friend is really in need of money, its a good decision to sell half of them and leave half for long term hold. We all have different views when it comes to selling and holding and it's quite hard to decide for your friend because its his own investment and not mine.

Good thing OP you leave him for his final decision. If he sees good profits already, he can sell his coins but i bet if the coins has huge potentials, he can make more profits in the future only if he's willing to hold it for years. Patience is all that matters.

that's how humans always feel inadequate even though they have already made a profit. if we have self control, regret will not affect our mental too much. Besides, we have to train ourselves that changing prices is a natural thing, so don't think too much about it if we sell too fast, if it drags on in regret we might miss another opportunity. so don't give up, move on immediately and re-analyze the market to get better opportunities.

That he finds his portfolio is definitely growing since we are in the bullish season but we don't be confident that everything will the same as of today. We have to think about any possible dumps which certainly be coming soon. If we want to keep safe and get those profits while it is still there, selling is a good decision to take. Because for me, I don't hesitate to do it if that already satisfying for me. I don't have to experience again what I did last 2017 Bullrun.

Couldn't he even take out a collateralized loan? There are a couple of services offering collateralized lending but I don't know how complicated it is to go through the vetting process and the KYC requirements. I would expect that to take a while until you actually have the money you need.

The response is based on the coin he is investing in, as some are truly worth hodling for years. I've put a lot of money into altcoins, and I'll tell you that I'm going to keep hodling until it hits or breaks through another ATH. Re-entry isn't a smart way to act on risky situations like selling on highs because it keeps going because it could get rejected, a dip is still a good spot to buy, right? FomoOMO is our number one foe; don't let emotions influence your decisions or you'll lose a lot of money.

TP or take profit - if you want to gain on some coins that won't breakout.
Hodl - if the coins have a huge potential of breaking out.

The conclusion is, make some TA. It will help your decisions.

..or go to the tradingview and find some TA about your coin.

If your friends have top coins like those on the Coinmarketcup list or new coins that your friends think have a good future, then you can use the DeFi platform to borrow money and pawn their crypto coins.
There are many decisions that your friend needs to think about, if he doesn't want to lose too much, then sell all the coins he has and return with the initial capital, do trade for profit.

maybe if only he had asked me I would have answered, to let him go if his profit had been reached, or to hold him back to ashes. because I myself also hold it until there are coins that are profitable and some become dust.

[m. yasir]

I thought it would be better to be hold.  Seeing the current situation Prices continue to increase, especially if you have an old altcoin with a quality project that continues to grow, you should hold it as a long-term investment.

before I will ask your friend, what coins does he hold? if the coin is good and has potential, then it is worth holding but if the coin is not good, I say sell fast and switch to other coins with more potential. because we are not only talking about sell and hold, but also how to analyze the potential of existing coins

[ZAINmalik75]

I think you must hold you coin because you can observe that all market are bearish in previous few weeks .
So the best option will be that you hold your assets because if you sell it in loss its not fair. So if you hold it difinitly market will be bullish in upcoming months and you will got much profit easliy

If you think from a long-term perspective, then of course you are right. But today there is a high probability that the market will continue to fall lower. And in this case, your position will not be a winning one, compared to traders who will go to usd.

I think the decision must be made in accordance with the altcoins he has. because there is a potential altcoin and there is shitcoin. so before making a decision, you must identify and research about the altcoins you have. after you get the answer from the research it is time for you to make a decision, whether to sell it immediately or have to hold it longer.

And he should leave the final decision to his friend. Because if he will suggest and later on, it goes sideways, he may be blamed. Even if we say he is a friend, we don't know what people can do when there is money involved. So better stay away from this kind of suggestion but he can always tell to his friend to do his own research and assessment of the project.

I'm personally going through something like this presently. The market has experienced a substantial downwards movement and it feels like its more than a market correction. I really don't know whether this is the end of the bull run or just a market correction. The bull run has lasted for quite a while but I wish it could last for a while longer. I'm so used to the market hitting new highs and seeing the dwindling market is depressing.
