Know when to buy and hold

[dbc23]

I don't know about you but for me I will only hold coins for long term if we see a unforgiving bear market ( better buying opportunity ), I believe bear market hold the key to long term holding, I can't buy coins at high price sorry ( present market is buying at high price) and decide to hold for years, I will only buy now to sell later ( short term ).. stupid idea? Let's hear your thoughts

Unforgiving bear market you call it. You don't expect to buy a coin that just pumped and dumped very drastically most of them are traps. It's better to wait for a retracement and a possible correction or study the project to see if there could be a possibility for future adoption. Bear market hold the key for long term holding but not for all projects. Not all projects is worth that risk. Careful Market study will save investing in wrong projects in

HODL is considered a strategy that tends to avoid short-term price fluctuations.
Beginner traders either lose money or make less profit than when they hold their coins.

If indeed we have difficulty reading price movements in the market, and we are confused to see volatile crypto prices. We can HODL coins that
we consider potential, HODL is indeed the easiest strategy to generate profit compared to other strategies. Because we just buy coins, after that
HODL coins until we reach the target price we want. It sounds easy to do, but in practice it is often difficult, because HODL requires a high level of
patience. Sometimes the price of the coins that we buy, the price to go up takes a long time, most people can't wait for the price to go up.
Especially newbies who have less knowledge and no experience, it will be difficult to hold coins. But in a bearish market situation, the best choice is
to hold the coins that we have, in order to avoid losses. Because of how far the price has fallen, as long as we haven't sold our coins, it means
we haven't lost. As long as we are holding potential coins, it should only be a matter of time to make a profit.

Your idea is not a stupid one, this is the thinking of many both here and outside this place but the problem is how to find out what the market is thinking at every point. If we can get that it will be almost accurate making money from buying and selling any tokens we have.

Beginner traders either lose money or make less profit than when they hold their coins.

You are referring to holding bitcoin. Because I know holding other coins for long apart from bitcoin does not guarantee they will not turn worthless. Sometimes the coins even vanish from the market without a trace. But bitcoin is profitable and better to hold.

depending on what coin you hold, if you hold a good coin, of course it will be very interesting to wait, but for me long-term investment does not look at all tokens, of course I will filter from some good coins for long-term investment, like DOGE, this coin is worth investing in for a long time.

This again depends on everyone's perception because I think Dogecoin is still more suitable for the not too long term, or in other words is the medium term, apart from memecoin, which is clear Dogecoin is still not suitable for long-term investment.

Among the many meme coins, for me Dogecoin is superior and worth buying with the consideration of selling it immediately when it looks like a profit from the price when we bought it. one way to make a profit on a coin like Dogecoin is to make a large number of transactions.

Yes I agree with that because there aren't many meme coins that are really good,
Dogecoin and Shiba inu are two meme coins that are above on CMC,
but holding meme coins is also not a good choice and tends to be risky

Holding for the long term is the best thing to do, but there are caveats. You have to pick alts with teams that are well-funded, have strong and active communities, and show a pattern of increasing adoption. Obviously, most alts do not meet these criteria. From time to time it may be wise to revisit the portfolio to sell a token that fails to meet these criteria.

Sometimes there are projects that are truly convincing enough to develop in the next ten years. But with differing thoughts about what happened they took a different course of action and made all the big dreams of investors fade away.

I've seen a project like that even with a prospect of five to 10 years and it did convince a lot of investors to be there, but then the project died in the middle of the road and it's not clear what the outcome will be.
it's good to do long-term projects like this, but it should be noted again that for too long a period of time it's also not good I think

Currently the price of coins is declining then our opportunity to choose some coins that are worthy for us to invest in the short and long term, if the price is high we should also consider buying because the risk is very large, then choosing coins that have the potential for us to hold in the long term is a good idea in order to reduce the risk of losses that occur, It takes a lot of research into investing.

Not that stupid at all but the question is if you are in buying or selling at a good price or not? It sometimes happens that some people sold their coins at cheaper price than the buying price ( that seems stupid and a wrong decision).
It can be in different situations where people had made their decisions, it is sometimes wrong and sometimes right. Well, nobody cares as it was their life and money but because we value their effort and the support into crypto, we give sympathy for their losses due to wrong market decision and we hope they could make it right the next day.

supportive market conditions such as today, many coins are going down, even bitcoin is going down. This is a great opportunity to buy alcoins such as eth coins and bnb coins, maybe in the middle or end of the year, the price of alcoins will increase even more.

I think the current market situation there should save funds for the future bear market because most of the signals showing will be bear market and that time will be good for buy of altcoins, holding depends on investors holding power, some hold a long time some short time but hold always good altcoins.

Well, its good that you have the patience to wait for the bear market to happen and when it happens then it would be a perfect opportunity for you to shop coins because they're cheaper already.
Its easy to say but TBH, there are and there will always be investors who will still buy at the top because they are expecting that they will still get profits when it go higher. There are times that investors are still buying at the top because of their emotions which is very bad when you are investing. As an intelligent investor, you shouldn't use your emotions to invest.

Intelligent investors are buying when the blood is all around. Newbie investors are buying when people are excited, when people are very greedy, when people are in euphoria and when people are very optimistic. Be a contrarian. Buying at the bottom would be better compare to buying at near peak. After buying at near bottom just hold .

When to buy? During the dip or corrections.
When to hold? During the dip or corrections.

We just ended up holding our coins all the time. That is not the thing we look for. If there is someone who has the eyes to look at the exact time to buy, he is special but there is none. And the market itself remains unpredictable no matter what we do, even manipulations will fail to tell.

it just a matter of time before we can decide when to buy and when to hold, that is our own decision and nobody could give you that favor.

That is the point at which I learn I think transient hold is much better for I can observe ways and increment the coins I am holding by collecting than simply trusting that the worth will go up to its ATH. Uncommonly for the people who are truly on the lookout for some numerous years and have sufficient experience and mental sturdiness to hold for a significant length of time.

When you buy the all time high of a particular coin and you fail to do a simple price research and to properly evaluate the project in order to come to a reasonable price valuation, then you will have yourself to blame for such negligence. Holding long term is the key to wealth., short term flipping only give negligible profit and at best losses!

HODL is considered a strategy that tends to avoid short-term price fluctuations.
Beginner traders either lose money or make less profit than when they hold their coins.

when you can't buy at the current price and are still stuck at a relatively higher price then there's no harm in doing hodling because indeed this is one of the necessities when the coin being held is a coin that has potential there.
on the other hand it is also very good to practice our patience, especially for beginners who incidentally are still passionate about trading

[Galley]

Holding may turn out to be a necessary measure for a trader in case of an unsuccessful choice of the moment for buying. For a beginner, this will be the best choice in trading strategy until he gains enough experience.

Have you invested in Crypto that you think is good for market conditions like today?.
I think this is the right time to buy with the aim of making a collection in the wallet for the following year. if i already bought some crypto to prepare the market recover

The bearish times are always the best for anyone that wants to buy a huge amount of coins and store them for a long time. For some people, they are usually fond of waiting till when the market starts becoming bullish, and you will see them rushing to invest in the market to avoid missing out on the bullish trend. Which is pretty bad, because you should only be investing in the market at times like this when it is low, and then you can wait for the bull run to take place and make better profit without having to go through all the rush.

Anyways it’s all about choice and also your condition at the moment, because not everyone really is in a good position to invest at some point , so some things has to be put into consideration and if it really suits you to invest now, then you can go ahead.

It really is up to an individual and how the way he looks at the market.

I don't mind holding long term I have tried it since 2016 but when it started plummeting in early 2018, I also dump my coins. Two years I think is a very long time for a coin holder to just keep the coins in the wallet. That's when I learn I think short-term hold is a lot better for I can find ways and increase the coins I am holding by accumulating than just waiting for the value to go up to its ATH.

Everyone has what works for them, there are some people who would prefer to wait and when the market starts showing signs of being bullish, then you would see them start investing. While there are those who prefer to plan ahead of time, and start investing in the market as early as possible when the market is very low, they can then decide to hold it till the next bull run takes place.

Although this is usually not easy; to invest ahead of time and wait for a long. For the market to go up requires a lot of patience. And not everyone has the level of patience to invest and hold it for years, possibly three to five years, without seeing any reasonable increase in the market.

Hodling for long term may even bring out the best profits as long as we are into hodling established and coins with high utility and use cases. But of course, it won't be profitable enough if we are not that patient and has positive mindset. So there's nothing wrong if we only chose to hodl rather than sell it in a price that won't satisfy us. I believe we have the right to do what will be the best for us and for our assets, and its our coins so we should be more capable how to make them profitable.

Yeah, patience is always the key to success but somehow, people had made it difficult and can't control themselves which makes them decide to sell especially when they saw market declines. Emotion is the biggest enemy when it comes to holding, the majority got in trouble with this and it cause major losses for them.
If we can manage to handle/change this, everything will be alright, I think. Yes, it was very challenging but if we are committed to changing our mindset and keeping into positive, that would be easy.

The main problem is that whoever has information about the remnants or lone whales wins this game. Being close to such sensations when they turn into reversals, and when they can be played both at the turn and at the end. Those who have this information always win. Anam stay only to keep the coins and guess the signals.
