HODLing strong!

[Henrobakkara]

Some people like quick profits. I'm in for the long run because I know BTC's potential. I also know how poor fiat is. I'd never invest in crappy fiat. I base my decisions on this and I know I'll reap the profits when it's time to. I never said I'll never cash out, but it will be a small percent at a time, as I said, I know BTC's potential. Crappy fiat will remain crappy fiat.

Crappy fiat:  buys food , gas, energy , and you even used crappy fiat to buy your precious btc.  

And if you do ever sell any btc, it will be local crappy fiat you get.  


Let's not forget one of your other predictions

Re: All Crypto in Free-Fall again, BTC retesting 30K then all the way to 10k and bel

A lot of non-sense is being posted. This thread is a great example. But with so much FUD, Elons, Trumps and Noobs around what do you expect.

BTC will still hit the $1xx,xxx mark this year, this autumn is gonna be huge for Bitcoin. Just HODL and enjoy the ride folks! Everything else is temporary.

BTC failed to hit $100K last year, and was ~$37K at your post promising a big autumn,
I would say no one that listened to you then is enjoying the ride.  

Sometimes some of us kinda think we know the answer to how the market price action will playout but I don't think anyone does really or maybe I must have made one of those predictions too

The thing is, if you think you believe in a project then HODL on to it, especially Bitcoin, and we must understand that these price dips will always happen and if you have not sold early enough before this time, then you have to HODL. If we really knew what was going to happen in the market then it would be boring.

[yazher]

HODLing since 2013, never sold a satoshi. The storm will pass and one day we will see BTC above $1xx,xxx . Good things come to those who wait. Losers deserve buying crappy fiat: money without long-term value backed by the banks. BTC is being too nice to the people: offering them so many buying opportunities yet they don't see them. Let them stay poor.

I appreciate this guy's perseverance and patience You don't hear this kind of story more often especially when the price of BTC is not stable and it mores going down every day. Looks like the people who don't bother with the current situation of the crypto market nowadays will be the ones who become successful in the future with their BTCs. Yeah! it's better to be safe than to say sorry in the next bull run to come because after all if we followed the rules on investment we won't be bothered by the current situation of the crypto market since the money we have in the crypto, is not really that important at all and we are fine if we win on holding or not.

And all my friends asked me how (and IF) to buy at 60k. I was saying guys, this is not the right moment, wait for the next drop in 2022. Now, if I say "hey this is a good time to buy"... they say nope. Every cycle is the same. And those are they same I tried to orange pill at 700$.

Yea, the novice buy when the market is green and sell when everywhere is red. I wonder how they can make the profit. At this time they will say the dip will go dipper, which also is better than the green going red and dipper red.

If you hold btc, hodl bur if you hold shit coins sorry.

Its funny how that goes isnt it, some people, a lot  of people act on emotions, they
need confirmation to act, but those confirmations for them come at the wrong time,
buying or selling when the markets have already moved drastically for them is confirmation.

I'm very happy at the moment that somebody was willing to sell Bitcoin so I could buy it,
but they are not getting it back at anywhere near this orice from me!

[bitcrystal]

I have seen these types of holders and they don't care whatever you say. Everyone is entitled to do as they want. There is no point forcing someone to sell or take profit when they don't want to. The truth still remains that hodling is key to maximizing profits.

[dark1234]

of course to take profits where the price has reached its peak (ATH) it is an opportunity to increase profits and buy back after the price is bearish because holding and never selling is crazy even though maybe they have other intentions.... yes.. .. you are right, we are

Everyone is entitled to do as they want.

so we just appreciate their way because for me personally it's very difficult

[m2017]

HODL is for stupids. a smart one will sell when he feels. HODL what and for what?

Hold it until the end of your days to feel rich and to indulge your vanity that there are a few of bitcoins or a part of it in your pocket. 

I'm joking, of course, but there is some truth in your words. In the current situation, nothing better than HODL can be imagined, but in the long run, it is not very wise to constantly hold bitcoin. This should be used and applied, and not forever lying on ballast on wallets.

[Cookdata]

You wouldn't understand the pain of being a hodl until you have some sats in your wallets dangling to market manipulation, and the painful thing is that, watching the market rally from a low price to a high price without selling and then seeing it dump bark on you can be painful and regret can set in for some people, but personally, I don't care because Bitcoin has done it several times and always prove to investors and the patience one that it works and will continue to work.

Some people have lost confidence in the market, and they are selling because they have no idea what's going on (except for inflation, which has been going on for a long time). When bitcoin starts pumping again, they will start crying and FOMO again, and the cycle of losing money to big whales continues indefinitely.

Very funny but on the other hand it is also very worrying. this is what will happen when it is just following the trend to be in the market. Sometimes things like this can't be denied and there are still a lot of people doing things like this because apart from feeling cheated, they are also still in the learning process (supposedly) but immediately try so that when a situation like this happens it is very difficult to control yourself and not to panic. .

Yeah this the time to buy, buy buying more bitcoin at the present price is the best entry point as most people that bought at $50,000 or $45,000 get in at the wrong time I have also suggested waiting for the bear market to some of my forks and this period is the best time to buy more Bitcoin. Keep buying the dip until the bull appears

[Slow death]

man I keep saying the same thing:

make hodl, but make hodl until when? until death? what would be the point of someone doing hodl until he dies? he just buys bitcoin, hodls and dies without spending bitcoin. does this have any advantage? because I'm not seeing any advantage.

If a person buys bitcoin in 2013 and that person continues to hodl to this day without spending their bitcoins, I'm honestly wondering what the hell is this person thinking? the price reached 60,000$, he could have sold a part and done stuff in the real world, and believe me it would have been a good choice because he would be feeling how good it is to have bought it, made it hodl for years and finally used it for something in the real world. Now feel proud of just doing hodl and dying without using bitcoin? I don't see any advantage in that

[ninis45]

only rich people can hold for so long without doing anything with their assets just frozen in the fridge but i guess this is impossible to do without a plan and purpose behind the scenes...
maybe they are great at holding it for so long ... but maybe stupid if they don't use it and take advantage of it, whether it's a dead wallet that can no longer be accessed due to lost keys so that it becomes an asset that is held indefinitely

[AakZaki]

True, and then those novice who bought when the market is green and then seeing the bear market complain and bitch around. But they didn't realized what is going on with the market, maybe it's better if they will learn it the hard way as experience is the best teacher to us. So this is going to be a long hard grind going up again and it might take years. So it's better to hold or better buy bitcoin because they are extremely cheap.

Being a holder is not easy. Even I need to study for a long time. Sometimes many can hold back but don't know when to take it off. Being a holder must master emotions and technicalities.  The emotion to stay has a mentality of staying and being patient in the middle of a bear market while technical is to make a decision when we should exit the market.
Many people are impatient, because of emotions. Many people choose short-term scalping techniques instead of holding for too long. Because they do not have emotional, mental, patient, technical and fundamental management.

by looking at high fluctuations, it is best to be able to take advantage of them. by using cold money, maybe many people always keep it, but I think there should still be assets traded when the bullish season comes, we can take profit and wait for it to buy back, or use the profit to reward ourselves, by buying something what we want, or diversify assets in other investments, so that our assets can expand. we imagine if like now bitcoin has dropped by about 70%, won't we get more bitcoins if we buy it back

In view of this, I see that there are many ways of reasoning to justify each person's own behavior. The issue of going from the individual to the collective, we can see some cases do that, but that is only part of the upward trend. Each of us needs to go through different lessons in order to become stronger to be able to buy anything we feel we can understand, and holding is also a lesson that takes a lot of experience. Not only do rich people have a lot of wealth to be comfortable with, but when we have a partial understanding of it, this process will also be well planned. Even for myself, long-term buying and holding is what I always prioritize with BTC. With a simple way like deducting a small part of my monthly salary to buy BTC, I still feel like I'm getting more out of it. after years of engaging with this market.

The difficulty depends on too many factors, for those which are emotional and do not really understand why bitcoin is so amazing then holding their coins is without a doubt something very difficult for them to do, however if you have your emotions under your control and you understand very well that bitcoin is a project that is incredibly solid and innovative, then holding your coins is not going to be that difficult even under the most dire circumstances.

There's nothing difficult holding bitcoins as long as you can hold them and have the patience to get to your desired price, and I'm also sure in the current market situation those who have been in the industry for a long time won't worry.
because they learn from experience and what is happening now often happens before which makes them do the same thing, namely Hodl and it doesn't matter how long they have to wait, because after a price decline occurs the price will definitely go up again and will get used to this incident without feeling emotions , just a matter of time and strong patience to endure it. And that increase is bound to happen.

[Tellek Garing]

The steel hands are still awake holding strong and filling more bags let the weak hands continue to pool in the party we wait for the xxxxxx days ahead when the Bitcoin bull surfaces.

Quite an amazing feeling!

It would be nice to learn how to sell bitcoin when it reaches new ATH, this will provide additional opportunities to increase capital. And so it turns out that bitcoin goes through cycles of growth and decline, and I'm just waiting for even more growth. ) Now when the market has fallen, of course, I will buy even more bitcoin, but for myself I see the need to learn how to sell it when it grows, and not just buy when it falls.

Yes, holding it doesn't mean holding it all the time and this is only when the bitcoin price is downtrend, and I agree with you to sell some bitcoins when bitcoins reach ATH to enjoy profits or buy something expensive or keep it for necessities. And only sell the profit or part of the profit.
and i also do that and moreover i use it as a reserve fund and will do it when i really need it and its real.
and this decline is an opportunity to make purchases in a gradual way, and to grow ownership, to enjoy profits again when new ATH is created.

thanks @Cryptmuster for reminding.

'HODLing' is the game serious investors have to play in order to make profit. A serious investor knows when to HODL and targets an envisaged opportunity to sell. Warren Buffet is one of the outstanding investor that knows what it means to HODL long term. If you are not making enough income to sustain yourself/family, then it will not be easy to hold. This explains why it is also not easy to make money - as it is not easy to HODL. Therefore, 'HODLers' are great investors so long as you hold what you can afford to loose because, the market can be volatile as well and may not be favorable all the time.
