No BTC Holding is risky

[Little Mouse]

I have sold my BTC earlier @$31k-$35k range long ago. I have invested in altcoin then and made some great profits although I had to lose 50% at the end. Now, I own almost no cryptocurrency other than USDT and a few trash coins.

Yesterday, I was scrolling newsfeed on twitter and got someone tweeted like this, "No BTC holding is risky.' This is somewhat true when I thought it deeply. Now, I got the same feeling. It’s risky to not own any bitcoin. Fiat is getting devalued all the time.

I had the same sentiment about this because, in the recent breaking of ATH, I didn't have any holdings to benefit from it. I had altcoins that rode the highs, but it's still different. Now I allocate a percentage of it whenever I receive BTC and leave the remainder in BTC. I believe this is one of the best ways to secure some gains in the long term, knowing that BTC could be worth more than it is.

The best way to think about this is to remember that it's not too late.

[Poker Player]

Congratulations! It sounds like you're starting to realize you've been fooling around. Just buy Bitcoin and hold and cut the bullshit. It seems unbelievable that you have been on this forum for 3 years already.

Fiat is getting devalued, that is one of the reasons Bitcoin has been a good alternative for holding aside it being a coin you can also hold and have privacy. The reason why someone can think that Bitcoin holding is not risky is because if you hold it for a very long time, the price is volatile, it will fluctuates in the uptrend and the downtrend direction, it can even decrease more than expected, but at the end, the price will increase and reach all-time-high. So, if someone is concluding that Bitcoin holding is not risky, I think that is the reason. But when the price is decreasing, some people would have sold in panic for not to lose more, not knowing the price will increase back and reach all-time-high.

[mk4]

There's a reason why timing the markets has been heavily heavily despised in investing communities in general, simply because not a lot of people can manage to pull it off. But I get it, there's definitely a lot of interest in trying to beat the market; but at the very least separate your investing and trading funds.

[Strongkored]

Yes, saving Fiat the value has never been higher, but it has actually decreased. Holding BTC with the right strategy and patience to holding it long-term will provide more benefits than Fiat, save Fiat only to meet daily needs and a few percent for the rest of the reserves, our assets will be better in the form of BTC or Altcoins with clear development.

There's no risk if you don't own anything but you cannot also earn if good things happen with bitcoin so its not a win-win situation for a person who always dump their coins since in the long run you cannot see a great result and will just regret on why you didn't hold before while the price is so cheap. But can't blame people to do this since not everyone can able to handle the risk since its really hard to predict how the market go.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

Sometimes we really had to go and experience the worst, to realized that we are indeed in the wrong path. But it's not the end, you can still make it in the finish line, although it will be hard as the price of bitcoin is now above $40k and going to $50k at least this year.

So the better approach is just to continue to stack sats whenever you can and save for the long haul. Maybe in the next 1-2 years, you can have that much bitcoin in your wallet that can make you profits at least in fiat value.

[CLS63]

Actually, we can't call it as "risky". Because it feels weird. Rather than being risky, we would miss a very big opportunity to e.g. double or triple our investment in the long run. We don't have to invest a very high amount like tens of thousands of dollars into Bitcoin for example. Even if we make an invesment which is worth around a few thousand dollars or less for example, we would make a lot of profit.

And I believe that the best place to make an investment for a long term is definitely Bitcoin. Maybe you can be a daily trader or a short term investor in general. But I recommend all people to buy some Bitcoin also and to HODL it for years even it's needed to reach your goal. I say "your goal" considering you set a price goal to sell when it's achieved. It's an important action to take also.

[irsada]

It seems that this statement is true but sometimes we are tempted to see such a huge pump in altcoins. which makes us to invest in these altcoins and hope to make a profit in a short time. investing in the long term with a large enough capital clearly bitcoin is the solution.

[Yaunfitda]

It's a missed opportunity, I don't see BTC holding risky though, specially if you are in for the long term.

But I do agree with the fiat de valuing overtime, so BTC all the way.

History already tells us that those early bag holders who chooses not to sell are reaping the rewards. Perhaps we can learn a lot from them, there are no secret formula here, but buy during the dip and have that mentality to hold and sell some if you have gain huge profits already.

[Oasisman]

Well, we tend to make short trading trying to take advantage of the market movement, but also tend to lose everytime we sell earlier in anticipation of an incoming dump.
It kinda make sense for that someone who posted that statement on tweeter, because the moment you take fragments of your Btc for another alts, you might get into a bigger risk than just holding your Btc.

[ipanks]

Every investment will have it's risky and I am really sure you know about that. If you want to buy bitcoin or invest in bitcoin, you must how much money you will use and keep your money on other things that you feel you can accept the risk. Forget about other people saying that bitcoin is bad or bitcoin will scam you or other news because that will depend on yourself and it is better to ask your heart about what you want to do with your USDT.  Using bitcoin for long-term investment will not make you disappointed while using altcoin for the long-term can make you regret it because the price will be too risky compare to bitcoin price.

[bitzizzix]

Hodl or long term is a very good move and will generate good profits, the most important thing is to be consistent and don't be tempted by small profits if you want to get very big profits.
I don't like to trade to get enough returns because for me it's not enough and besides I don't have the skills and also don't have much time, this industry is our opportunity and also it should be wise to take the opportunity to get good profit, Hodl and term long is the best option to get results and also to avoid worry and panic when the price drops.

[mu_enrico]

I don't think it's a good concept of risk. You know, ceteris paribus, risk vs return, if you don't own BTC you are not exposed to the risk, thus you are not exposed to the profit. Not owning BTC isn't risky, since you are aren't putting any money.

If you remove ceteris paribus, I can say: not having a good income is risky, even riskier than not owning BTC, since you can buy BTC any time even if only a fraction if you have money.

[LogitechMouse]

I still remember the time when I'm still trading.
As per my experience, it is full of stress. Watching the charts, seeing where to enter and after entering you will find an exit price and if the movement didn't go your way you will feel stressed to the point that you will be forced to cut losses because of wrong decisions.

With holding, the only risk is having a paper loss but with patience and time you can put your paper loss away so in short there isn't any risk at all. That is why I'm just holding Bitcoin right now instead of trading or at least buying here and selling there. I might do it sometimes but not daily (like once a month at least or a week). Fiat is slowly devaluing that is why investing your money into different assets will hedge your funds . Hold Bitcoin or at least any asset that isn't that risky.

[bittraffic]

Not that fiat or the stablecoin is also not safe. How.do we protect our profit whenever the bear market enters?
USD is just not good for holding due to money printing and inflation. But its also not safe to hold BTC if bear market  starts. It gets confusing what do to to keep the value.

One that I might do is invest a real estate property after earning  and hold the rest as stabelcoin. Wait for coin prices to drop before buying back POS coins.

[harizen]

Just go with the flow then. Take all previous actions as a reference for a better decision in the future.

That's the challenge, how to benefit and take advantage whether it's bull or bear. We don't have crystal balls to tell us exactly what will happen in the future so regrets are part of the game. What if the price went down more after selling some of our coins? Then our verdict is, we did the right thing. We can come back again and again in the event that there's no BTC left on our precious stash.

We just need to think outside the box or better, totally removed the box.

[Kittygalore]

Well, what are you waiting for? Buy bitcoin now or atleast accumulate as much as possible and hodling for the long-term and wish that you have the patience to wait for a really long time so you can profit when the prices are much higher than the current price that the market is in.

[Lucius]

What can I say except that you had a completely wrong strategy when you were thinking in the direction of "Will we ever see $ 10k per BTC?", and this was my answer.

So far, investing in BTC has always been profitable if a person knows how to control himself in the moments when the market is in the red, but some people are persistently looking for alternatives and betting on the wrong things. As someone who has been on the forum for a long time you should have learned some things - this is the year after halving, buy every dip and hold, pretty easy.

[Little Mouse]

What can I say except that you had a completely wrong strategy when you were thinking in the direction of "Will we ever see $ 10k per BTC?", and this was my answer.

I wish I were not totally get out of BTC, atleast holding certain percentage. That was a bad move certainly but what can I do now. I was planning to wait some more months but it doesn’t seem like we will see the dump anytime soon, maybe never in my range to get in.
Well, now I'm considering atleast going with DCA so that I don’t have to miss the train totally.

[anggoro manise]

There will be nothing to lose as long as we can be patient and wait. BTC is a very profitable asset, especially if you bought it a few years ago, you want to sell it at any price it will still make a profit. Likewise today, if we buy BTC now and we can patiently wait for the next few years, then we will get multiple profits.

[DU18]

It all depends on how brave the trader is in taking risks, because many traders panic when they see bitcoin prices fall in the market, but for those who believe in strong bitcoin fundamentals, they will certainly hold bitcoin for a long time, as you said if we buy bitcoin was cheap a few years ago, of course we would be profitable now, but some traders (including me) have even sold my bitcoins when the price had reached ATH at that time, but thankfully I was able to buy bitcoins back when the price dropped around $28K and I plan to keep it until halving day happens.

[Raflesia]

I believe more in holding bitcoin for a long time even this is less risk that will be faced compared to altcoins which looks very tempting to me this is only temporary while bitcoin will be better for a long time, even imagine what the bitcoin price will be if I hold from now on?

When the bear market came I just wanted to take a safer position with fiat money but if it was back to normal and the market had shown a recovery then I bought back the crypto I chose of course 50% was bitcoin as a reserve at the beginning.

[pinggoki]

At this point bitcoin has already established its place in the market and had been keeping its position quite solid for the past few years. It would be a waste indeed if we are not to invest even a small percentage of our money meant for investing and crypto in such a valuable asset with high potential for profits. Although the fear and the doubts are justified, knowing that there isn't really a big and full-blown use-case basis for bitcoin unlike its successors in the market, the profitability severely counteracts this, making it still one of the biggest coins in the market up to this day.

Well, what are you waiting for? Buy bitcoin now or atleast accumulate as much as possible and hodling for the long-term and wish that you have the patience to wait for a really long time so you can profit when the prices are much higher than the current price that the market is in.

A very famous revolving quote around this forum goes like this "the best time to invest is 5 years ago. the second best would be now." It makes total sense when you realize the or at the very least envision the opportunities and potentials that bitcoin would be stepping into come 5 years into the future. To strip yourself from being part of that is a grave mistake. bitcoin is a literal "buy now or regret later" venture at this point.

[goaldigger]

A risky that you might lose the chance if you don’t have Bitcoin.
I don’t know why people still prefer a meme token over a good coin like Bitcoin, I believe they are more into a quick profit than to invest and hold.

Peronally, Holding bitcoin is one of my best decision, I know it will continue to grow just like now where the price pumps a lot. Its more risky if you don’t have crypto yet in your wallet.

Indeed it was risky all the time, you're partly right because we're now already at wave 5 of current chart patterns, so definitely if you're afraid to take that another opportunity we should be grabbing it. However, regrets in the end will follow if price would abruptly pumping after that. Of course you should consider it as lost of opportunity if I'm not mistaken.

[sunsilk]

If you have sold because you need that profit, that's fine. But you should also have that long term plan upon holding bitcoin.

It's risky to say not to own bitcoin because you're going to miss a lot. And that's why whenever you sell, make sure that you will also have that time and price to buy back so that you won't miss every time bitcoin goes up.

[Johnyz]

No bitcoin no risk at all because you’re money is still in your wallet and there’s no chance for you to lose it so technically there’s no risk the only problem here is that, you are missing the opportunity to make money if you just invested that money to Bitcoin.

Cryptomarket is a risky market and for you to lessen the risk, you should invest on good projects and coins and having Bitcoin in your wallet can be a good assurance that you can still earn in the future. Taking profit with Bitcoin is fine, there’s no wrong to sell Bitcoin at all.

Someone can equally said that bitcoin holding is risky, the question is how? Because looking at everything, weather business or any other thing we adventure into, from my perspective everything is risky, if bitcoin holding is risky what about the process whereby bitcoin get increased than the amount the holder used to purchase it before it get accelerated in price, holding a bitcoin is just like investing or banking your money, so from my perspective i haven't seen any where bitcoin is bad by holding it.

We have different reasons on why we sold our bitcoin and not everyone can afford to hold since sometimea our daily needs always be the one prioritized by certain individuals which only have small capital to use on their crypto investments. But even if thats the case we shouldn't forget to save a little volume since even if we save 0.001 btc everyday for sure this one will get a greater value in future.

You might make out some bad decision but what matter most is that you do earn profit and that's the main priority on why we are here on this market and also it isn't still too late for you to accumulate bitcoin.

This is actually a personal preference on where you do have the feeling that you should at least have bitcoin included into your portfolio and some do even minding about accumulating as much as they can which do came from into their altcoin investment.

Its a personal point of view since we can either choose both or neither between those two but literally we are just sharing on the same mindset or goal which is to make profits.

[dothebeats]

There are some circumstances wherein we can't avoid but to sell our btc holdings. I've been into the said situation for quite some time in the past, though I assured myself that I would still be trying to buy and gain more bitcoin as much as my budget allows. Currently I managed to earn a pretty good amount that I think will be worth something significant in the future, and I refuse to let go of what I have right now since there isn't really anything that is worth it enough for me to sell my stash.

You can always build your btc stash anytime, and just hold it tightly for you to not repeat the same mistake again. Other projects that are existing aren't really worth your while tbh.

[Vaskiy]

Everyone who believes on cryptocurrency have the same feeling. Looking the growth taking place with bitcoin and different altcoins it looks like we're in risk not holding any cryptocurrency. Even if it is a shitcoin, it doesn't matter. Maybe you can be lucky to make millions out of the shitcoin.

[pooya87]

It is very silly to own any altcoins when bitcoin is rising because altcoins get dumped during bitcoin rallies but not as hard as when bitcoin is dropping. It is also silly because altcoins don't have any long term potentials due to lack of utility, which makes "holding" them long term a very bad decision.

Now, I own almost no cryptocurrency other than USDT and a few trash coins.

Wrong. You only own shitcoins because Tether is no an exception. In fact it is categorized amongst the riskiest shitcoins due to being both shady and centralized.

Not for all dude, we have deferent kind of experience luckily as of this moment i did not lose to any of my trades . Yes still holding Bitcoin is very risky but it is up to you how you manage the risk.

Going from "bitcoin is risky" to "not having any btc is more risky" you are called grown up and realising how bitcoin is not about making money but also about replacing money.I am glad you was only 50% down and if you have not sold them you would be saying i invested $100 and now i don't have any so stack sats instead of those shitcoins out there.Getting a pie of bitcoin is better than getting full load of shit cakes .

[Lucius]

No doubt, it was indeed a bad move - but many others also expected the price to go down - although $29k was successfully defended on several occasions, indicating that the trend must change at some point, and that happened. While the past may not always be a good indicator that something is sure to happen again, when it comes to BTC some patterns are definitely repeating - and the biggest price growth always happens in the year after halving. If you look at 2017, you will see the same pattern - a few major corrections during the year, and then a big bull run at the end of the year.

If you want to get back in the game you really have no choice but to buy again, and by the end of the year maybe the price will reach $100k which would mean a good profit.

[Kyraishi]

For sure.

People have to realise that risk is a time-based concept. The definitions of risk-free in the short and long runs are completely different.

For instance, in the very short run, cash is risk free as it is guaranteed to hold most of its value. However, if you zoom out to the big picture, equities and cryptos become much safer assets the longer you hold them, whilst fiat is a surebet to lose all your money eventually.

Yes absolutely big percentage should be on Bitcoin, I have mine on 50% because it is a coin where its price follows by all altcoins and the market goes up and down depending on what kind of news Bitcoin is receiving, although there are altcoins that's performing good in the market, we should not replace Bitcoin as your leading portfolio because the community still voted Bitcoin to be their main coin in their portfolio.

[Obito]

If you have sold because you need that profit, that's fine. But you should also have that long term plan upon holding bitcoin.

It's risky to say not to own bitcoin because you're going to miss a lot. And that's why whenever you sell, make sure that you will also have that time and price to buy back so that you won't miss every time bitcoin goes up.

That's what some people don't get, that sometimes you need to sell your bircoin because you have some needs that needs fulfilling and the attention to those needs to be immediate. Totally agree with not owning any bitcoin, have experienced missing a lot of profit back then and I don't want that to happen again.

[The Cryptovator]

I don't know OP who told this is on tweeter, but he said right. Last three months I have been holding Bitcoin. When I Bitcoin was $41K I hadn't sold it. But when starts to drop and become $38K, then I thought it would dump more and I should sell it. I did the same as thought, just sold all my holding and convert it into USDT. Now Bitcoin is trading above $48 which is $10K+ where I had sold. Isn't it become true that not holding Bitcoin is risky? I just realized it in my life. Definitely, I will keep it in my form now. However, thanks for sharing it here, because I just realized my mistakes again and learn.

[sana54210]

Well, the reason for that is simply because bitcoin is an ever-increasing product, do you really think that in 5 years bitcoin will not be over the price of what it is right now? The shorter term, like inside of 1 year, you could maybe lose money, or even in 2 years, but in 5 years everybody knows you will make money from investing into bitcoin.

More and more people starting to learn this, sure "how much" is still a question in everyone’s mind, but when the world knows that there is a product that you are guaranteed to make profit, the question of how much becomes less important because there are very rare things in life that guarantees profit and how much will be just a surprise. So, I have to say it is definitely going to be easy for more and more people to be convinced to buy it. When they are convinced that means price will go up because they bought too.

As we face life with strong fate, risking on different phases just to live and despite of that we still choose that options. Thinking about fiat became devalued, I don't think so because its our tool for digital currency to be worthy of our profit gains. Without that, we won't experience all those benefits we wanted to have. Fiat is very important for physical spending, and bitcoin is our digital asset which provide us an opportunity to earn profit without any running physical business despite of the risk.

[Rabi3]

Congratulations! It sounds like you're starting to realize you've been fooling around. Just buy Bitcoin and hold and cut the bullshit. It seems unbelievable that you have been on this forum for 3 years already.

this happened to me too, i sold at low prices (8000$-12000$) and i wasn't fully invested on bitcoin in particular, and now it got to a point were it reached $60k i regret not holding for a very long period of time, and i was always thinking that something can happen and cause bitcoin to go down, it was the main reason for me to not hold (and also my gambling addiction) and now that the price of bitcoin is really high, i feel like the highest it could get this year is about $75k ( won't make a lot of profit ) and it also could go down and that would be the right time for me to buy.

[dragonvslinux]

A little unsolicited advise for you if not too awkward? For sure selling the swing low is never a nice thing, but also bare in mind price could go lower and this could always become a shorting range anyway, only time will tell and it's way to early yet. Who knows, maybe this is the price that myself and others cash out a reasonable amount on if price get's rejected from $50K levels. For example selling in 2017 $10K before price went to $20K would have felt dumb for a month or so, but doing so after would have felt like a smart move when ultimately prices dropped to sub $5K (meaning it was possible to buy back double the amount of BTC). Not that I have this perspective personally, but it's more about you never know.

From another angle, looking at your account registration (August 2018), I assume you managed to get acquire some sub $10K prices? If so, and these were the positions you were selling (this is an assumption here, but I very much doubt you waited until >$20K before gaining BTC exposure), then overall you sold for an amazing profit right? I'd again assume anywhere between 5-10x. While you might feel you're missing out on another 50% gain, but truth be told: no-one ever went broke selling at a profit.

My only advise would be next time, never sell the whole stack: ever.

[michellee]

Maybe the meaning of "No BTC holding is risky" if you do not hold BTC, you will be disappointed when you see the BTC price increase so high more than the price now or more than $64k because you do not have a piece of satoshi that you can sell at a high price.

But there is another meaning of that tweet: if you hold BTC, you will see the price go up and down every day, which is the risk you should accept.

Everything will have a risk, and that will depend on how you can manage the risk. Before you do something, it is better you research and thinks twice so you will not regret or disappoint in the future.

[Victorycoin]

If you have sold because you need that profit, that's fine. But you should also have that long term plan upon holding bitcoin.

It's risky to say not to own bitcoin because you're going to miss a lot. And that's why whenever you sell, make sure that you will also have that time and price to buy back so that you won't miss every time bitcoin goes up.

That's what some people don't get, that sometimes you need to sell your bircoin because you have some needs that needs fulfilling and the attention to those needs to be immediate. Totally agree with not owning any bitcoin, have experienced missing a lot of profit back then and I don't want that to happen again.

That is why it is important for us to move forward on the basis of experience let the market for bitcoin holding go that way we need to buy and hold bitcoin to get the right profit for this, the risk will be less if the market analysis and planning goes ahead. Before selling check the market to see how much it will go up longterm holding of bitcoin is important if you want to retain the right profit of bitcoin.

Bitcoin has proven to all of us that it is one of the best performing assets in a pandemic situation like now. Therefore it is very unfortunate if
there are people who do not have Bitcoin, because the longer we can hold Bitcoin, the greater the profit generated. That's all because the price of
Bitcoin every year always increases, so immediately collect Bitcoin starting from now, before it gets more expensive. Although Bitcoin tends to be safe,
the risk is definitely there, because the price of Bitcoin is very volatile. However, this risk can be minimized or managed, in order to be able to
manage risk, knowledge is needed about how Bitcoin works. Therefore, before deciding to invest in Bitcoin, we must first learn all things about Bitcoin.

[zanezane]

What you did was risky, it's a bit stupid too, to leave no bitcoin in case the prices go up. The problem with you OP is that you have a bad management of your portfolio although your attenpt for now paid off, you might not be so lucky the next time that it happens.

[jostorres]

I have sold my BTC earlier @$31k-$35k range long ago. I have invested in altcoin then and made some great profits although I had to lose 50% at the end. Now, I own almost no cryptocurrency other than USDT and a few trash coins.

Yesterday, I was scrolling newsfeed on twitter and got someone tweeted like this, "No BTC holding is risky.' This is somewhat true when I thought it deeply. Now, I got the same feeling. It’s risky to not own any bitcoin. Fiat is getting devalued all the time.

Fiat's devaluation got nothing to do with the risk levels of not holding any of bitcoins. I guess you are referring your holding of USDT. But, I just wonder what pushed you to cash out around $35k levels even bitcoin was testing $65k levels some two months back itself. I read someother forum member had shared like they sold all their bitcoins when it was trading above $55k levels and then bitcoin tested $64k and finally tested $28k levels to get back in more numbers.

I mean if you have planned for selling at higher and then buying back at lower then you might be doing right but exiting bitcoin investments without proper vision on bitcoin's future is something not expected from a forum member like you.

Everyone like selling high and buy back at the lower price. I don't know what do you mean by proper vision. If you are a trader then your vision would make profits by taking advantage of Bitcoin volatility. But a few traders like me always couldn't sell at in right time. The problem is anyone does not have the answer to what is the right time. That's the reason sometimes our vision becomes useless. If we expect we can sell at the top, it wouldn't happen with everyone since we can't forecast the price. For the long holders, they would have a proper vision like if the price does not reach in xx position they will not sell. For traders, it's not easy to fix a vision at all.

[Reid]

Thanks for the reminder.
I just recently talked about it with my friend. I always tell him it's the less risky method of investing right now than going for altcoins.
He is still having a hard time believing me because he doesn't see Bitcoin a lot with hypes. Dogs and NFT are mostly what he follows.
I think I will share that phrase with him and see if it would help a little to pursue him to consider instead of risking his money to an unknown future of other coins.

Yes, Fiat will get more weakens as dollar will get more printed. Also altcoin are not safe because in bear market they became close to zero in value and there is no grantee that they will recover.
Only bitcoin is the most safest investment and if you can hold for 4 years you will be in grantee big profits.

[thecodebear]

Congratulations! It sounds like you're starting to realize you've been fooling around. Just buy Bitcoin and hold and cut the bullshit. It seems unbelievable that you have been on this forum for 3 years already.

Yup this is the answer.

People tend to trade or sell their bitcoin for crappy altcoins or get out after they've made a few hundred percent or something with Bitcoin. But you should basically always be accumulating. Once you've made so much money you're happy to spend it on things you could never have afforded before that's good to gradually spend it to change your life, but you should ever just sell all your bitcoin at any price because it will always go higher - always keep some skin in the game. And if you have extra income you should always be accumulating more bitcoin, even if you're selling some old bitcoin for massive profit.

Bitcoin is still in its very early days, so if you sold all your bitcoin this year OP, you're doing it wrong. You should be planning to hold most of your bitcoin for another 10 or 20 years. You don't want to be selling most/all of it at $30k, you want to be selling some of it at $1 million or $2 million, while continuing to hold some even at that point.

Buy and hold for many years is how you do bitcoin.

[Sanugarid]

It's not risky, it's a mistake not hodling bitcoin. One reason is thst you're missing out on profit when the prices are going up and two, you can't enjoy big profits if you decide to buy when the prices are going up continuously. And lastly, you risk losing your capital when you buy at high price since you didn't hodl bitcoin and then the prices started to go down for the short-term, unless you have the patience to wait it out, you will be fine but if not then you're capital is as good as it was just a fiat.

He would surely realize those things later on when the hype is over or NFT's is been replaced with another new trend in the market.It isnt really bad to deal off with the current trend

but we should always consider on accumulating bitcoin in the end of the day rather than on focusing on  holding those coins.Well its not that prohibited but you should be wise

on when to get out for you to maximize your profits rather than on holding for too long.Ive seen lots who are just good for several weeks or months then die down.

I am guessing that basically you need to have a proper "goal", like saying " buy at 43k and sell at 46k" type of things. If you have goals like that which means you are going to be fine, of course not everyone does that, for example I have been in crypto for years and I still just buy and hold and that's it, I rather not sell as long as I can, I do not even think about it, back in the day I was a bit lucky and sold at 2017 peak, but I was also immensely unlucky because I did that to pay my hospital bills, it is a bit dilemma, I am happy that I was capable of making a great amount of profit so that I could pay my hospital bills with it, but it was still hospital bills which is bad, but if I am going to be in hospital, knowing that I would be able to pay it is at least good.

So long story short, if you are a long standing member, you can't just "buy low, sell high" you need to have a specific goal (not according to me at all, I disagree with that).

May be he was holding any alt coins expecting it to rally and became a bag holder or anyone fooled hi with a custom token, if not who in the holy hell will be thinking like this because Bitcoin is the only coin in the market where you are certain that it will not give you a loss unless you flip outside down and start selling when the market is in a correction mode.

I can also see that crypto is slowly becoming a part of our life, there are so many gaming apps and e- commerce that is now using crypto, and I believe that crypto helps as a lot, many people are now making a huge profit in crypto and many people become a millionaire in crypto and I believe that those who believe in crypto will also make a millions soon.

This is the ironic part when people say that Bitcoin is risky when not holding Bitcoin and only holding fiat is more risky if they ever want a chance of being richer than they are.

What are the risks of holding fiat money?
holding bitcoin and holding fiat money is different, holding bitcoin can be interpreted as an investment but holding fiat money is not an investment. they say bitcoin is risky because the bitcoin price is very volatile which can cause a sudden decline in the asset.

[michellee]

Maybe the meaning of "No BTC holding is risky" if you do not hold BTC, you will be disappointed when you see the BTC price increase so high more than the price now or more than $64k because you do not have a piece of satoshi that you can sell at a high price.

But there is another meaning of that tweet: if you hold BTC, you will see the price go up and down every day, which is the risk you should accept.

Everything will have a risk, and that will depend on how you can manage the risk. Before you do something, it is better you research and thinks twice so you will not regret or disappoint in the future.

Bitcoin has proven to all of us that it is one of the best performing assets in a pandemic situation like now. Therefore it is very unfortunate if

But that will depend on each person because not all people can accept the risk of bitcoin price volatility. They will think that it is not normal to see the price can always change from time to time, which makes them afraid to invest in bitcoin. Most people will search for an investment that looks stable but they want to make a big profit and that will not happen with the current investment they already knew. However, if they realize that the world is changing, so do everything inside the world, including the investment matter. They will see that bitcoin can give them a big profit in the future and if they can invest in bitcoin constantly, at least, for one or two years, they will see how much bigger percentage they can make with it bitcoin.

[BobK71]

If I compared to most investments, bitcoin “is a highly volatile, highly risky investment. If you look historically at the price of bitcoin, there have been a number of occasions where it’s really spiked and then comes crashing down really quickly on the other and the price increase rapidly but I see positively when the price of btc 3k I had the fear, now 46k I also have the fear. The reality is to hold on.

[Mpamaegbu]

That saying is a given! Sell Bitcoin, tether it and then rebuy Bitcoin at dip. Doing it that way is a sure pattern to keep hodling that asset. However, what investors look at is the ROI that investments in altcoins gives compared to what Bitcoin gives and that's what draws them into investing in altcoins and away from Bitcoin. Otherwise, investors won't stray away from Bitcoin. But at the end, we all go back to the Pathfinder – Bitcoin.

The risk is that money will become inflation while holding BTC will go bad in the shortest time it might happen.

Now investors understand how to control the two currencies, if there is a sign on the market then it will switch to bitcoin to get high ROI while the market becomes bearish so investors are better off securing assets to fiat to avoid risk, so both are really needed regardless of bitcoin always fluctuating erratically.

The risk is that you hold fiat for too long until inflation decreases your money's value along the years or that you make a low return investment that will be worthless anyway to overcome inflation with its gains (popular saving account traditional banks offer to their customers).

Fiat isn't safe as many people still imagine. Depending the fiat currency and the variety of investments you have access, it can be much more risky and dangerous than simply holding bitcoin on long run.

people who always hold fiat and are afraid to invest in bitcoin, they are classified as people who are afraid to take risks and don't expect them to be successful people.
investing in digital money is very vulnerable to risk, but you need to be patient so that there is no panic selling, then your risk will be reduced. investing in bitcoin includes a high risk but holding bitcoin for a long time, you are a successful person in the future.

[StreakW]

I think BTC Holding is the winner. You have to be able to maintain it consistently and not have to constantly monitor the market to help you make decisions. To relieve feelings of stress and anxiety due to large price fluctuations, Bitcoin should be something you should hold on to for a while. Consistency in investing is very necessary. Assets that have been held for 1-5 years will have a real impact and performance. Obviously takes a long time, but will yield consistent performance.

[imstillthebest]

you shouldnt divert the issue in fiat but your issue here is supposed to be altcoins or shitcoins  .
 you sold your btc to buy them and in the end you loose more than you gain because you hold the wrong coin but you could have gain more if only you got contented on holding your btc alone . there is a risk in holding a btc because of its nature but not as big as other coins out there .

[ShowOff]

I think BTC Holding is the winner.

Yes, if they really know how to properly secure their asset and wallet.

There is no risk-free investment including bitcoin and other crypto investment, but the risk involved in these investment is so far worth the long term reward for the holder. There is no such thing as bitcoin holders being harmed by price fluctuation, early investors can generate an ROI of thousand of percent and hundred of percent more if they buy a few years after bitcoin is traded. Bitcoin is always a good choice to have in an investor's portfolio in the short or long term. Losing PK's and wallet hacking are risk that will greatly irritate the holder.

I guess sure there is no "risk free" investment but look around the world, bitcoin is as risk free as it gets. Even the banks that give savings account profits which are tiny amounts compared to what other investments could bring, even sometimes they fail and just bankrupt, we haven't seen too much of that in western nations frequently but it has been a thing in many nations over course of decades, and that is the most "risk free" thing I can think of.

Bitcoin is nothing like that, in the world of assets, investments, banks, fiat, crypto and everything else you can think of bitcoin is the most risk free thing you can imagine. So when one thing is the "most" in a thing, you just call it as risk free as it gets, unless you get hacked or something, it is going to be fine. If you know what you are doing then you will keep your money safe as well.

[ultrloa]

This will be a lesson. I feel you will become a btc holder with a strong mentality. Investing in bitcoin will take a long time to reap the rewards, let everyone say bad things about it, you will enjoy something they didn't expect.

That's why there are few people placed in history that they are lucky to earn millions of dollars because they have strong balls to hodl their BTC for long years but if other investors cannot handle to take long term since they easily get affected by volatility maybe daily profit taking is good for them and we should think that at the end of the day profit still profit and we shouldn't take anything bad since people have different timelines in their earnings.

Not completely true. It's risky if you hold it for short term. It's risky if you don't handle your coins properly. Say, you are holding your bitcoins in a custodial wallet where a third party controls your private keys. Then it's risky. Hold your bitcoin in an exchange, there is a change the exchange might get hacked and you lose your coins.
If you safely store your coins and hold it for long term, then yeah, the risk is then very small. But risks still exists and you need to keep that in mind.

besides holding, following the trade is better, because we can manage finances better, as today's condition bitcoin is fluctuating from $47k down to $44k. this is another chance to buy before bitcoin breaks through $47k again. so on the sidelines such a trade can manage finances well. Of course with a system like this the risk of loss can be minimized, it turns into more profits.

I think, Not only does fiat depreciate due to banknote printers, but when you play the lottery with altcoins, it will also be subject to bitcoin . So, it's best to hold bitcoin and prioritize it for a drawer before thinking about diversifying into altcoins

[batang_bitcoin]

I think, Not only does fiat depreciate due to banknote printers, but when you play the lottery with altcoins, it will also be subject to bitcoin .

There's a chance with very few altcoins that can pump more than 100% but the risk is very much high. Unlike buying and holding bitcoin, you're like in a safe haven that you don't have to think of that much risk because it's the best and safest of them all despite being highly volatile. And most of the altcoins are also affected with every bitcoin's drop and rise.

So, it's best to hold bitcoin and prioritize it for a drawer before thinking about diversifying into altcoins

Exactly, this is where others get it wrong. They prioritizes different thing rather than owning bitcoin first.

Risk on losing your money/coins literally through exchange/platforms hacks & Risk  on losing your money when it comes to volatility.These are the primary risk that you should think off not just  when you are simply holding

then you are already get rid of the risk.It would always be next on line or always been part and you should really be minding about the possible ways that it could be hacked nor lost.

As an investor then its just normal that you would really be that mindful about lessening the risk and as you do gain experience and skills and knowledge you would certainly able to handle that.

No it won't be devalued, fiat still very important in order for bitcoin to establish a promising value that's worth for our investments. I can't argue that it's risky to hold, but that doesn't mean we're giving up on whatever risk it is. Over time Bitcoin potential on profit gaining still became more valuable than any other coins that exist in every trading sites.

[Fundamentals Of]

That is why it is said that it is wiser to own Bitcoin rather than not owning at all. It is said that it is net positive to own Bitcoin. I would even say that even if Bitcoin is as high as $100,000, it is still net positive to buy an amount if you don't have any yet. The prospect of Bitcoin is getting brighter each day. It would definitely get brighter as the world is going fully digital.

We should leave even a little amount in our wallet even if we sell the rest with a profit. The room for growth is still very big.

it's sad that this took you more than 3 years to realize that tweet mate , when we as campaign participants and you as Manager have always opportunity to keep the holding of our precious bitcoins.
Lucky i am because at least when i sold my Bitcoins at 59k , i keep the funds in USDT and bought back recently at 35k value, meanong all my funds increased more than 50% now and i may say being a Proud Bitcoin supporter but practical in not Holding permanently but doing what i think is best to keep my funds increasing.
though all my crypto payments from bounties are now keeping safe for holding.

I agree with the tweet, basically bitcoin has a good opportunity to invest, even though the market conditions are not good and normal, today only bitcoin is the only one that can provide the best value in any market conditions.

There is no Bitcoin holding at great risk, compared to the survival of several other coins currently on the market, in an in-depth study it is precisely bitcoin that can survive and become the best coin from the past until now, not even a single coin can replace it. they.

It's a fact, we should for longer to get profit. For example 60 days as a targets from the investment date. In one day, you get profit before the value of 60 days. Holding will sure earn us a profit. Don't sell with minimum profit, when you inverse the value of 1000$. Don't  sell with the profit of 10$.Atleast wait for the profit of 100$ from the 1000 dollars investments.

I think the right term for that is deflation and yes, fiat is getting deflation because the government keeps making money out of thin air.

And if you are talking about how risky Bitcoin is, you should do some research first if you aren't confident how to manage the risk of owning a Bitcoin or how you will get a profit just by owning it. Most people just sold out all of their Bitcoin when in 2017 bull run because they just bought too late which means they buy when the price is almost in the peak and then boom, correction hits. That's the fault of most people who don't know when to hodl or when to sell or buy.

[btc78]

Never spend or sell all your bitcoin never again , though there is a need to cash out yet always maintain some funds inside because we never know what will happen next day.
bitcoin is simply amazing interms of volatility and also the capacity to change the market over time is there.

___________________________________________

Hope that this will serve as example for all people engaging in Bitcoin that by any chances , invest in bitcoin even with small amount because once this reach a million value , everyone will feel the bitterness like what OP had now.

[SquallLeonhart]

Never spend or sell all your bitcoin never again , though there is a need to cash out yet always maintain some funds inside because we never know what will happen next day.

Honestly when I was entering into bitcoin adoption, I was fixing some big target levels and ones those targets will be achieved I was in plan to exit crypto space all at once. But, after gaining knowledge about bitcoin ecosystem and its futures, I slowly changed my plans and now I'm in plan to keep my bitcoins till my of life and I will suggest my kids to keep on investing and holding bitcoin forever so that they might be getting better financial life compared to replying on other traditional investment opportunities.

in investing of course we must have a target time

I don't think so; at least with respect to bitcoin investments. The longer you will be holding bitcoins, the better benefits you could enjoy.

[asrinur]

The main advantage of long-term investing in cryptocurrency investments is maximizing profits, and minimizing losses. So, HODL is a wise strategy to apply when investors feel FOMO, FUD, and various other potentially detrimental emotions.

Patience is virtue but having too much will really be in resulting on missed out opportunities when you are forcing yourself on hitting up a target point which might take for years.There would always be a time on where

sudden change of decision is a must for you to take advantage since this market could be profitable on doing buy low and sell high thing but it isnt simple as it sounds.Its actually on someones preference on how they

would handle out their finances or investment because we do have different perceptions or takings into something.So its a personal choice but at least you do know the risk and the possible opportunities.

[Rajamuda]

The price movements in the market do sometimes look confusing or make many people awkward in holding, basically the stronger we hold on the bigger the profit we get, but some other influences may be a problem to weaken the commitment to hold. Another thing may be because of the amount of investment, if it is small... it feels like it will be easily swayed in holding because some things related to the necessities of life that can't be denied till have to be cashed in, here it is important that investing must be in the right amount to get results satisfactory.

Yesterday, I was scrolling newsfeed on twitter and got someone tweeted like this, "No BTC holding is risky.' This is somewhat true when I thought it deeply. Now, I got the same feeling. It’s risky to not own any bitcoin. Fiat is getting devalued all the time.

For over a decade bitcoin is existing, we witness how the price grow from just few cents until it reached the last ath and realized how worthy this crypto is.

Indeed investing in bitcoin is a wise move, especially if you happen to invest during the time the value is cheaper compared now. Holding is profitable but there are times we need to take profit for our financial needs and this is one of the reason why I cant hold without taking profit at times. Anyway what more important to me is I still hold a portion of bitcoin in my wallet that I can live without.

[newwest]

Its poles apart I would say as for some holding is the key. Just lets take recent example when btc was falling not many were buying and thought it would fall further but now btc is at 50k+ and how many are ready to buy now at 50k. It will seems it has rose much and will wait for dip and which may not happen. So eventually those who had actually continued to hold have gained here and may also continue to make money if btc kept on rising.

[lizarder]

I have sold my BTC earlier @$31k-$35k range long ago. I have invested in altcoin then and made some great profits although I had to lose 50% at the end. Now, I own almost no cryptocurrency other than USDT and a few trash coins.

Yesterday, I was scrolling newsfeed on twitter and got someone tweeted like this, "No BTC holding is risky.' This is somewhat true when I thought it deeply. Now, I got the same feeling. It’s risky to not own any bitcoin. Fiat is getting devalued all the time.

What that person said is very true, there is no risk of holding bitcoins, actually everyone wants bitcoins to be bought and sold when the price is good and high, I think you are too worried about what you are holding, so made this decision to let go of bitcoins at the right time. which is not correct.

The decision to take altcoins in investing is actually not wrong, it's better if you also invest with bitcoin, but you waste a good opportunity to sell bitcoin in conditions that are not profitable for you. Hopefully this will be an important lesson for you in the future.

[doomloop]

The main advantage of long-term investing in cryptocurrency investments is maximizing profits, and minimizing losses. So, HODL is a wise strategy to apply when investors feel FOMO, FUD, and various other potentially detrimental emotions.

The term "cryptocurrency investments" is tricky because while I agree that the price and worth of bitcoins will only increase in the future, I am not so sure about other cryptos including Ethereum because there are better alternatives coming out daily and there are those transaction fees and congestion problem on the Ethereum network. Every coin has some issues like XRP had problems with SEC and not sure if any progress was made to solve them.

I guess BTC holdings are going to get you positive results no matter what but the same can't be said for every other cryptocurrency. If anyone is looking to invest in the future value of crypto, please go for Bitcoin.

[Victorycoin]

Bitcoin is that the best currency for holding the longer term of bitcoin is far better those that sold at panic are now frustrated because the worth of bitcoin has multiplied albeit the market sinks for bitcoin investment one should wait reading BTC means it'll be corrected anew. Traders who take risks are more successful that way the worth of bitcoin rising will exceed 50k.

Yet many people are still dumping their shares, whatever situation whether a bull trend or bear trend, don't dump all your Bitcoin it should be your main coin in your portfolio there's a temptation to buy new coins because of the too many shills and FOMO in the market you will end up regretting your decision, Bitcoin will always the best coin to invest, the market have proven that.

[STT]

There is risk everywhere in every asset, the main problem people might overlook is liquidity.   If you have the value to spare over an extended period of time then BTC is a reasonable hold but I wouldnt say its without risk.   Invariably we will get sell offs because of cash calls where the market tightens but the main thing of note right now is exceptional easing by the Federal reserve gives us very weak currency and BTC is not likely to go down during this.   When times are rough, things will not be quite as assured yet I think currency has no return on its value lost now and future imo.

[Myleschetty]

Every part of Bitcoin investment has its own risk even when holding, the statement of 'no BTC holding is risky' can only work for investments that join early before ATH price and also well experiences investment.
Nevertheless, we still don't know what will happen to the Bitcoin market in the future cause tomorrow is not promised.

The problem with people is they overlook to much on their profit and not take out while the price is at the top and got dismay when the dump cames then continue to hold then turns out they lose since the price decrease to much when the dump backed with fuds. That's why we need to learn on how to exit if we are investing on cryptocurrency since the price movements is fast changing that's why we need to have a fast action towards making decisions on taking out our profits as well entering again on the market.

[ene1980]

You should never sell bitcoin and always think to accumulate them. The future is of bitcoins and i believe that those who do not have bitcoin will be left behind.
You can trade or sell your altcoins but always keep on holding bitcoins.

What is your target price for Bitcoin, i bet you wont be holding the coins for decades, but there should be a target for you and i would like to hear that valuation.Bitcoin is all about making transaction and that is what it is intended by Satoshi and not to hoard them, if so it will defeat the purpose of the creation.

When we talk about the risk factor, it all depends upon the entry, you cannot enter when the coin is rallying and expect to make a huge profit in a short period of time.

[Vaculin]

You have taken the wrong step, even though bitcoin is in a good trend at the moment in the market, this shows that there is no risk of holding bitcoin all the time, although in general you have not suffered big losses, but I think you have wasted a good opportunity at this time .

Altcoins also don't matter if we invest, even more perfect if we can also use bitcoin simultaneously in investing with altcoins, if one of them is problematic, then there are other coins that can provide good returns, that's why bitcoin and altcoins need to be invested simultaneously .

You should never sell bitcoin and always think to accumulate them. The future is of bitcoins and i believe that those who do not have bitcoin will be left behind.

But I really don't think that it was needed for us to keep on holding forever because we can't assure that Bitcoin will ever stay forever or if the price will stay strong and growing. I'm not against holding but sometimes we also have to reconsider some instances that might cause us failure and big losses. Like if I bought Bitcoin at $30k and sell them at $40k, that was an absolute profit, right? if you are not a greedy person, it is certainly good enough, IMO.

Indeed, an effective way to make profit in the crypto world is to take profit if there is an opportunity. Because maybe we will miss the opportunity
to make a profit if we continue to hold the coins we have.  But this is only for people who do have time to monitor the market every day, so they
know what is happening in the market. For people who are busy and only have time maybe once a week to pay attention to Bitcoin price
developments, there is no harm in focusing on holding Bitcoin in the long term and only selling when the desired target is reached.
In the end it depends on the situation and everyone's strategy, because investing in Bitcoin is very flexible, do what we think is effective.

[hello_good_sir]

Yep, bitcoin should be considered to be an entirely separate asset class in my opinion.

You'd be pretty stupid to park your wealth in fiat alone, given the fact that it is guaranteed to depreciate over time.

Decentralised crypto projects that have recently sprung up are better, but none of them have the recognition/stability that BTC offers. I truly think that we're very close to seeing BTC as a global reserve currency that is an integral part of any portfolio.

so far bitcoin holders are still the winners except for those who bought when the bitcoin price peaked a few months ago but the potential for high returns is very large if they are able to be patient for a longer time no one doubts even a lot of profits will be obtained.

Still those people who bough at the peak are the winners if they didn't dump there coins out of fear from those past bear market strikes happening from the past, since they can still accumulate gain even if x2 from their capitals. But for sure lucky to those traders who knows when to buy and spot the best position at the dip since they can able to gain from huge pump if this will came in future. Many project that bitcoin will reach at $100,000 so for sure we can see this figures in future.

wait long ago means? but bitcoin crosses that amount  of 31-35k just this year actually January so thats 7 months ago not that long i guess.

Exactly what we must learn and believe .

Bitcoin is the safest and the most positive coins of all meaning that we can trust this if we are willing to Hold longer.


and if we don't want to Hold then that is how Altcoin can enter the system.

[SquallLeonhart]

Better alternatives doesn't mean that it will have to pass ethereum neither. I mean look at bitcoin, do you really think that bitcoin is the best currency? It is obviously not and yet it is by far the first one and all the other ones are lower. Which is why I believe that we should not be focusing on the "best" and alternatives and think that rankings are the same thing, because they are not the same thing at all.

Ethereum is there because of how people prefer ethereum over other coins, not because it is the best blockchain or it is the best at what they are doing, of course there are other alternatives that are better even right now, let alone in the future but none of that gets closer because people still prefer ethereum and this causes ethereum to stay at the second rank. I believe the same will happen in the future as well until ethereum itself does something to drop.

[STT]

We never know the top, I think we realized at some point that BTC can go into six figures and thats incredible previously impossible and now people want to get to that point.   The market always gets over hyped and over extended, invariably people without money borrow to buy BTC (or housing or anything that rises alot) and then the ladder upwards becomes too thin and prone to reset in failure from that leverage.
  What the OP is saying we need not fear FIAT ever rising in value, rates of interest wont rise beyond inflation and so there is no point to being negative on BTC.   I love the optimism but one key thing is there is no free money its an illusion.
  Inflation represents failure, somehow inflation can lead to failure with deflationary effects of failed firms, lower wages vs inflation etc. and it will never be a smooth easy path.  To me that means BTC must suffer reset at times, I need dollars to pay bills and if there is losses then that liquidity is more required to pay bills.  I hope you get what I mean that scarcity to cash can develop, this will force BTC to sell off sometimes.

there are still many who do not understand clearly about bitcoin and naturally there are still many who park their wealth in fiat, in banks with interest that has been regulated by banks. even if they don't want to be at risk, they will make a deposit where the interest is smaller because it has been determined and remains unchanged until the end of the contract period.

if those who understand, obviously will make definite changes to move the funds that are in the bank to be transferred to bitcoin, although maybe not all of them but clearly there are better intentions to be able to make changes because the value obtained is very different.

it is not easy to give trust to those who are accustomed to depositing their funds in a bank, because they feel that so far the bank is the safest and most reliable way.

It seems that this statement is true but sometimes we are tempted to see such a huge pump in altcoins. which makes us to invest in these altcoins and hope to make a profit in a short time. investing in the long term with a large enough capital clearly bitcoin is the solution.

I think to HODL the right way, calculate the average of the positions over time (days, or weeks, or months, or even years). Especially when prices are lower compared to recent highs and lows. This helps you prevent sell in the market. When you see some really big gains, consider selling some to average it back later. This requires extra patience and control in managing emotions. In the meantime, learn some basic technical analysis so you can better understand buying and selling opportunities.

If you don't have much experience, you should invest in bitcoin or trade carefully. A conservative and cautious approach involves moving averages and slowly either selling or buying. If you do this, you limit a lot of harm from what could go wrong in the long run.

Of course, the Hold strategy is better because the price of Bitcoin is very volatile where today's price is automatically different from tomorrow's price. Even so, Bitcoin is still in demand because it is considered a profitable investment instrument in the future.

maybe what you say can be very different from what I know, that it is precisely by holding bitcoin for long-term investment that is for every 4 years (halving) it is certain that there is nothing that makes the risk will occur, but it will always be advantageous because it would there is an increase. but if you do for day trading, you can be sure that risk can occur because prices are always changing quickly if you don't analyze them properly.

If you don't have much experience, you should invest in bitcoin or trade carefully. A conservative and cautious approach involves moving averages and slowly either selling or buying. If you do this, you limit a lot of harm from what could go wrong in the long run.

if it is to be used as a trade, it is clear that the risk that occurs will be very large if we are not smart to analyze the movement of bitcoin when it goes up or down, because the movement of bitcoin is very fast and can go up and down very quickly. it's different if you buy now and will use it as an investment by holding in the long term, which is known as the halving period. then it is certain that bitcoin will increase and reach renewable ATH.

All investments certainly have risks, including if we invest in bitcoin, that's why proper analysis is needed before we actually decide to enter or not, in my opinion holding bitcoin is one of the best alternatives today in investing instead of having to trade it every time .

If you don't have much experience, you should invest in bitcoin or trade carefully. A conservative and cautious approach involves moving averages and slowly either selling or buying. If you do this, you limit a lot of harm from what could go wrong in the long run.

Analyzing the market is one of the steps we can take to avoid losses that will occur and of course with the existing experience we can see how far the bitcoin price will move later.

[XCANA]

The author of the tweet is very much correct because it's only people that sell Bitcoin that do lose at the end of the day and not those that hold till today. Most time what make people including myself to sell is because we so much depends on what we earn through Bitcoin and crypto currency in general. Other factor are the negative news against Bitcoin and crypto currency market both within the forum here and other social medias platform around the world.

Thankfully my portfolio tracker has all my purchase history, which means it shows me both whenever I bought it at what price, and it also shows me my investment average as well, that way I know how much profit or loss I am in total and tracks everything. So far thankfully I am in profit because I was smart enough to get in at the right time, even though in my regular life I had a pretty big financial problem, I didn't touch my coins, hell I even worked harder and smarter to get more money and postponed my debts and so forth and still didn't cash out my coins.

So, it is wise to know where you are and when you get in and all that. It is the smart way to invest, if you do not know what you are doing and not fully in control, you are going to lose a lot of money.

BTC Holding, in my opinion, is the winner. You must be able to keep it up-to-date without having to continually monitor the market to make judgments. Bitcoin should be something you hang on to for a time to ease tension and worry caused by significant price volatility. When it comes to investing, consistency is crucial. Assets retained for more than 5  years will have a significant influence on performance.

because it takes funds that are not used for other purposes only focus on bitcoin, which is now quite high in price and it's not easy to do it.

People does  have different capacities when it comes to funding or simply with the capital of their investments which means there are people who could really afford on spending much compared to others and there are people
who do have just average funding for them to invest on which simply means that they cant  really just wait up for long just to see their investment profits which its decisions will vary whether they do hold or simply would make out active trades and doesnt really tend to hold for long.Its just on someones preference and of course their capabilities on doing so because we do have different aims and different ways or likes
on how things should work out.

It's the basic requirement of HOLDING your crypto, you need to have patience and you have to understand what you are doing. Holding means you are aiming not only for a higher price but for a bigger price because you believe that the longer you hold your goal will be achieved, however, you also have to understand that you have to set your goal to be realistic first in order for it to be achievable.

For example, if you hold because you believe that 1 BTC will be $100 million each in the future, then I think you are not being realistic.

Nowadays, no btc holding will make you think that you have no chances to earn big in the future and would only stick to your minimal profits. With bitcoin, you know there is a bright future on it that will make you more interested waking up each day knowing you have an investment that is also keeps growing its value along with time. But for some, they eventually sell it in an earlier time maybe because of some emergency funds, but if you will be able to hold it for long until your price goal has been achieved, then it will be a very profitable investment by then.

Fiat currencies will depreciate highly at some point. And then, governments' first choices will be digital currencies. But I don't mean the volatile cryptocurrencies of course. I mean the digital currencies that governments will develop. When it comes to owning Bitcoin, it is really a big advantage for its investor I think. Especially if you are a long-term investor, it is the best choice among all the cryptocurrencies by far I think.

[Gozie51]

It’s risky to not own any bitcoin. Fiat is getting devalued all the time.

I have heard btc being a crashing substance in the future when the price was less than $1,000 in 2016 but we are seeing the current price now. The lack of believe made bitcoin being compared and bought with pizza. Things have changed with inflation on fiat that the power to buy has dropped drastically but bitcoin isn't falling and likewise a trading instrument which is advantage over bitcoin. Since 2017 bitcoin has increased in worth but many countries currency has been devalued either by inflation affecting goods that is now worthless to use their currency or it has been devalued by government.

[EdenHazard]

But.. but..

its often bring fortune to whoever lucky enough bought bitcoin randomly and leave it there for a while and when they comeback they realized that they are a millionaire in just few weeks. that is fun.
but at the otherside there is some people who taking high risk to put their live saving in bitcoin and cant survive when it falls down to -80% and cash them out in deep misery.
none of those what so called HODLING has zero risk.

Fiat currencies will depreciate highly at some point. And then, governments' first choices will be digital currencies. But I don't mean the volatile cryptocurrencies of course. I mean the digital currencies that governments will develop. When it comes to owning Bitcoin, it is really a big advantage for its investor I think. Especially if you are a long-term investor, it is the best choice among all the cryptocurrencies by far I think.

Fiat is experiencing a high inflation right now which means the prices of basic commodities are rising, but leaving fiat's value in depreciation. So if you have put all your savings and investments in fiat, then you might see them less valuables in the future. It' will be better if you start prioritizing investing in bitcoin right now because it will be more likely to give you huge profits in the future as long as you chose to invest it in long term. Bitcoin may not guarantee sure profits all the time due to its volatility but at least you know its value will definitely move upward in the years to come, unlike fiat that is getting less value as time goes by.

BTC Holding, in my opinion, is the winner. You must be able to keep it up-to-date without having to continually monitor the market to make judgments. Bitcoin should be something you hang on to for a time to ease tension and worry caused by significant price volatility. When it comes to investing, consistency is crucial. Assets retained for more than 5  years will have a significant influence on performance.

When you say holding, better HDOL it. It's very popular to us that "HOLD ON DEAR LIFE" already made lots of investors become rich. What we are witnessing now is another market crash, if we don't have the trust to HDOL, we will be one of the investors who will do panic selling and later regret.

Short-term traders may panic now, but if we are real long-term holders, what is happening now is nothing new to us.

long-term holders will always experience a lot but it is certain that if they are patient and don't panic, they can certainly enjoy a period where prices will increase. because holding bitcoins is a common thing and will always end with the best, but usually many are impatient or who absolutely do not have the capital to hold for the long term.

because it takes funds that are not used for other purposes only focus on bitcoin, which is now quite high in price and it's not easy to do it.
maybe only the true have been doing this for a long time because they always save for the next stage.

It's the basic requirement of HOLDING your crypto, you need to have patience and you have to understand what you are doing. Holding means you are aiming not only for a higher price but for a bigger price because you believe that the longer you hold your goal will be achieved, however, you also have to understand that you have to set your goal to be realistic first in order for it to be achievable.

For example, if you hold because you believe that 1 BTC will be $100 million each in the future, then I think you are not being realistic.

Holding bitcoin will not just ensure big profits in the near future but it also takes more patience to understand the market deeply. There will always be price fluctuations that will eventually test how long can you stay in the market. And if you end up panicking, then you might lose your hard earned bitcoin. So its not really an easy task to hold bitcoin that is why you only need to invest on your extra money. But one thing is certain, the process may not be easy but the result is all worth the risk. And it will be a lot more risky if as of this moment, you don't still have any hard earned bitcoin to hold.

Yep, bitcoin should be considered to be an entirely separate asset class in my opinion.

You'd be pretty stupid to park your wealth in fiat alone, given the fact that it is guaranteed to depreciate over time.

Decentralised crypto projects that have recently sprung up are better, but none of them have the recognition/stability that BTC offers. I truly think that we're very close to seeing BTC as a global reserve currency that is an integral part of any portfolio.

saving fiat is no longer in its time. Now is the time of modern technology with database systems, so bitcoin is one of the best today to invest. Bitcoin has great potential for large profits but bitcoin has its own risks that every investor should learn.
