You don't need to hodl a particular coin all your life

[Wawa2013]

When it gets pumped sell your holding and when it is dumped buy again at lower prices.

How if we already bought at the previous pump? Although there is a pump, the price still cannot meet the target to sell. I have some altcoins on the wallets whose values are far from the buying price. I am still holding although there are some pumps lately because their prices are still very cheap. I don't know how long to hold, but there is no another choice, only hold.

That's right, in a case like yours, there really isn't a better choice than to hold on.
on the other hand if you just hold on continuously without any certainty it's also difficult,
need patience and hope that the coin you are holding at this time can go up in price again

Therefore, choose coins that are really potential, so we don't need to hold too long. If we buy shitcoins, of course it will be difficult to sell them,
even if the price goes up, usually it will not be that high. In fact I have some shitcoins that have been in my wallet for quite a while, there are
shitcoins that I have hold for 3 years but the price of those shitcoins has not increased. So it is very important to do research and analysis before
deciding to buy coins for investment, so that we don't choose the wrong coins, make sure the coins we choose do have a bright future.

You really have no choice but to hold until you recover. That's the choice that you can make or if you want to cut loss if you're already too deep. You have to accept the fact that you've already made a loss. But as you've said, you're going to hold and there's another option.
And that is to add if you want to.

If you are trading on Shitcoin make sure you are ready to lose money or earn more money. I think you just need to take advantage of that hype coin or token and you should get out right away. Holding shitcoin too long time is not profitable, as some shitcoins even happen rugpul. If you have bought in a high price and are currently down then just assume your money is lost. This means staying resilient and don't expect anymore it will return to the original price. Just hold on and switch to another coin/token and don't repeat your mistake again.

You will do a research about the project if it has chance to pump in the future. The way you can research on that is if the project is talking of future plans and schedule of listing or introduction of some creation and innovation to what you know. Like some times a project can do a swap, change name or create some more features and by this you know hodling for future can do you good.

We should not forget to take profit at times especially if our coins are increasing, thats the purpose why we are investing, to gain from our investment. But sometimes people are greedy to earn more, even the price are high enough they are aiming for much higher price. Well there's nothing wrong with that especially if you dont need the money yet, but isn't it more wise to enjoy some of your profit? Anyway we have different strategies and certainly know what is best.

I thought they do not need a money yet but why they are greedy to earn more profits? They shouldn't lie for their selves and they should cash out early if they want to or if they still have the chance because this could not be repeated anymore. They are greedy for profits so they invest on pump and dump coins, that is why the chance of earning a profit can be for a limited time only but yeah who we are anyway to educate them? That was their life and they know what works for them.

I think the op is already mixing the trader and the investor. It is not the investors role to buy and sell and buy and sell but i think that is already for the traders.

Everything should be research from roadmap until on what kind of project are you dealing off, is it;

1. Does have some realistic long term goal?
2. Does it have real use case?
3. Does it have non repeated kind of idea?
4. Are the team behind working or putting efforts?

There are lots of factors which could really be solid thing for you to mind or do look before you could able to point
out even though it wouldnt be that precise but at least you had done your thing.

I think the reason why some persons hodl a particular coin for very long time it because maybe  the time which the coin was being bought it was a coin that had value in the market,  on the process of holding it for some time it lose value.  At this point people in this condition get confused  and know not what to do than keep on holding and waiting until anytime it gains value in the market.

Holding a coin for a long time requires detailed research about the coin to be purchased, if you only do regular research without taking into account the coin will develop or not, it will certainly be very risky. Usually ordinary people who are new to crypto just follow other people's advice and then get stuck on coins that don't thrive.
It is better to hold bitcoins or coins in the top 10 of CMC, as they are more trusted and continuously developed.

I would say DCA is a much better method. Consider that as an alternative when you purchase some more from the bottom. I personally rarely ever sell out of a coin, I just end up buying some more and dropping my purchasing price. If it looks like a coin or a token that is a scam then I would just cut my losses and get out, but if it is just a pump that I bought at the peak, then all I could consider doing would be DCA.

This way I could go on without a trouble and make as much profit as I could without a worry in the future when the price goes up. Obviously this requires you to constantly have cash to invest and sometimes that is difficult to do, but it is not impossible neither.

No matter how good a coin is, HODLing it for longer time is of no use if its giving you profit. We all are in crypto to get profits, lets accept this fact. I will be happy to sell a coin i am hodling if I see 30 to 40% profit.
I agree that invest and HODL in bitcoin along with top altcoins listed on CMC but dont hodl it for lifetime.

I agree with you. It makes no sense in holding a particular coin for lifetime. Because, without selling during the Bullrun, I don't think there is another means of making good profits from Crypto. Truth be told, we all invest in Crypto to make good profit. Although, HODLing is never a bad idea, but we should be conscience enough to know when to sell. However, We have other altcoin that have potential of rising high.

Holding a particular coin all your life can sometimes be frustrating because if the coin does not yield result,or it falls,one is liable to having heart problems which will end up making one regret why he had not given up on the coin for a long time.

Holding is very good,but when it results are not coming,switch to other coins that are doing well and invest in.

You can choose a few coins for long term holding but in this case you do not have to hold these coins for life. If you think your holding coins are making a lot of profit then you can sell them in the market. If you feel that your holding coin is not giving you profit then you can feel free to hold it.

Set up a profit percentage and just close off the trade when that reaches it. It might take a month or an year to for the trade to close. It might be with any best coin having a huge trading volume. Holding needs patience and it would challenge you or temp you too much when there is sudden hike or sudden dip. Fluctuation is its nature and yes do not go for a panic sell or buy. It would lead you to loss. So be calm and hold your coins and get your profit.

^ That is right, if you have been purchased 1 BTC it will remain 1 BTC in your wallet and there is nothing to lose not unless you will sell it under the amount that you have purchased. When you see your target profit just sell it and re-invest when seeing the market is down I think that is what they call long-term trading which is a long process of making a profit in crypto but it is surely and has a 100% guarantee of making a profit. It also has a less risk but the only problem that you could able to fight is that the patience that you have

That is why we should have to give some faith and confidence to what we are doing just to keep control of our emotions. Fluctuations can be normal but if we feel disturbed because of trust issues and being doubtful of our investment, emotions can rise and drive us to make a wrong decision, probably selling at the wrong time. But of course, it doesn't mean that we hold our coins for the life because of trust, as we are looking for a profit selling them during their peak is the best decision rather than missing them.

Nobody said you have to save for life, that's stupid.
save as much coins as you can and the target you have set. If the target has not been achieved Hold on and do not be influenced by others. The most important thing is research, good coins will have good development like Bitcoin, ethereum and other altcoins.
In crypto the profit of 30%-40% is still very small. Profits can even be hundreds to thousands of percent depending on where you enter and what projects you are involved in. If you want to get a quick profit, use scalping and keep doing it as often as possible. Holding or selling when profiting is the same thing, depending on where you set the limit.

Well, hodling forever is a pretty dumb move. Sooner or later you're going to have to sell that coin. A coin itself isn't always going to go up in the future, not to mention that the purpose of hodling itself is to sell it at a larger price so you can profit off of it more. It's just that some people like to do it over very long periods of time, and that they'd rather not spend it even if they've already profited at the current price, they instead wait for a bigger opportunity. Looking at the big picture so to speak. It's all about how you do the market though, you do you, nothing can stop that.

I agree to this one. Not just BTC, but also to other altcoins, memecoins, shitcoins, whatever that is. And yes I was so dumb being greedy and holding too much of those "promising" coins and tokens back then when I didn't had the chance to sell them high. Lesson learned from me. Now I have already started to sell when it goes to my targeted higher price rather than just being greedy. After all, profit is profit and we should be happy of it rather than losing.

I was holding Ethereum for a long time as it continue to depreciate in value and it get to a level that I could no longer hold ( I think that was when Ethereum price drop below $100) I was forced to sell all my Ethereum, and in less than a year after I have sold all my Ethereum the story change and I regret to have sold all my Ethereum.

I've even seen the price of ETH below $100 but I managed to hold.

That's really a sad story for you. If you have just been able to hold ETH during those bearish moments, you're high in profit. But because of the problem that you can no longer hold.

You're able to sell.

A lesson that everyone can learn that being patient really pays off.

Everyone has different plans and targets with the aim of selling profit, not selling at a loss and that is very stupid and whatever the reason is having to wait for the price to go up and make a profit when selling it again.
and for bitcoin it is more appropriate to hold it in the long term to get a very satisfying profit and another reason bitcoin has a low risk as long as we are patient and consistent with it, because even though there is a long decline, it will eventually rise again, even exceeding the highest price.

I treat bitcoins to be kept long term and for reserve funds and sell them when I really need them and as needed, and also some altcoins for short or medium term and sell them only when the price rises above the price I previously bought.

How long have you been hodling a particular coin while the coin has been making progress for your profit taking and yet dropping in your eyes ?

Some people don't understand the hodling technique, they are hodling a particular coin and never sell to rebuy again or to sell and buy another coin. You can sell this coin and buy that other coin that is how to turn over your money.

I didn't tell you to sell your bitcoin and not to buy again. I only say you sell the bull and buy the bear 

Its a good trick always to sell on when you got enough return from it .We all need to hold coin but we also need to sell when we are in profit .If we don't do it we can just watch the drama where market goes through ups and down .You have to keep it mind as well that you need to do it carefully cause if you do it continuously you may make loss when the market goes on bearish momentum .So that we need to be more active and hold our token for long term and also sell it when we can get a good return .That's how our money can work for us .

You look funny and not see how much profit earn by some holder Shiba coin and take keep holding for two or three years after Shiba open listing on market, I think not all holder is waste time but they try how can earn higher profit with holding coin more than longer time than usually, where some people or investor just hold and invest about one or two month but there are still have many holder keep hold coins for several year to earn much profit.
