Are you tired of waiting for the jump? Pls Hodl

[teosanru]

This is not the first time bitcoin is experiencing price drop, it only needs few time; months or years to correct and hit another ATH. Few years back many investors took the loss and cashed out their money, believing that bitcoin settled for lesser price. Don't be in such a hurry to move out your investment; bitcoin is falling in price so that it can rise up again. Below is a tweet of a bitcoin investor 12 years ago, that should encourage people to hodl and hope for the best in the market. I know some will never sell, when it hits a high price, but for profits purposes there's no gain in withdrawing an investment now that the price is below or slightly above the amount you bought in the market. Unless you depend on the funds for survival or for other important dispute, keep holding on. Tom only had to wait for 6 years to meet the 2017 pump; a long time indeed! Isn't the wait worth it?

It looks so sad when you see stories of people who sold bitcoin dirt cheap to get back the few bucks that they put in. It was more like they in search of gold lost diamond. But I feel the lesson here is not to lose hope. Not to think that Bitcoin is going to end because whenever it fell it has always come back even stronger than ever.

[Fiatless]

If you are a long-term holder you should know how many years you will hold the Bitcoin you bought. And you should also have a lot of patience if you do decide to hold Bitcoin. Because if you are not sure that you have long patience, you are not good for long-term investment in my opinion.

But he has been waiting for 6 years (Thomas), he should be patient and not waste the year that has passed just because he feels he is impatient because the thing he is expecting here will take a long time to happen.

If some investors have seen the future, many of them wouldn't have lost hope in bitcoin. Some people only assume that it is only newbies that become impatient and cash out even with a loss, even some old timers can be frustrated and decide to sell their coins. Holding bitcoin is not easy because there are many actors, organizations and governments that always want to generate FUD to push people to drop thier investment thereby distortion the market.

But some people have decided to keep holding till they get to the target even if it will take many years. I know some real estate investors in my county that are specialists in buying lands in underdeveloped areas of the country. They project the direction of development and buy lands in areas they project will develop. Some of them will have to wait for decades before such areas will develop so that they can make gains from the lands. In the same way, every investment needs patience and steadfastness.

Bitcoin will go higher when everybody gets tired of waiting for the pump. That's the untold truth. Bitcoin may never see another ATH in the next 10 years and that's because there would still be people hodling their coins. The whales don't like that. It is because the whales don't want to make other people rich by pumping crypto. And that makes sense too. If any of you was a whale, you would do the same thing. Big fish eats little fish, that's the name of the game. Some small fish will always get away and become rich but how many of these small fish have a patience like that? I don't think many do.

You're entitled to your opinion about the dynamics of the cryptocurrency market, including the role of whales and the potential for Bitcoin's price to rise during times of excitement or impatience. Actually, cryptocurrency prices are highly speculative and subject to many variables that are difficult to predict in advance.

While it's true that whales, or large holders of cryptocurrencies, can influence market movements, it's also important to remember that the cryptocurrency market consists of a diverse range of participants, including ordinary people, hedge funds, speculators, and more. Whales are not the only factor that influences market dynamics; many other factors can also play a role.

From the years that I've been into this market, that's what I've learned and that's to take profit when it's on high. It's not gonna hurt my ego to have to see my lessened portfolio because that's how it should go, to enjoy my profits earned from my investments on this market.

Other than that, holding is truly one of the best strategies that I've ever learned. These scenarios of plummets and crashes, it taught me a lot of things especially in forcing me to be patient when I'm thinking of dumping as much as I can.

True. Patience will always be tested in this crypto market especially if your emotions are starting to contradict your decision. But if you are doing the right thing always, that is to hold more when you see price correction in the market, then you will have all the chances to be successful in your investment in the end. Just follow the basic of buying low and selling high, that will always take you an edge over the market.

Some persons will always make the mistake of selling especially when the market is not that balance. This is the reason why we need to measure our risk and reward ratio whenever we want to invest in any coin or in cryptocurrency. The market is very volatile andbl anything can happen in the market if we are nit careful.

Those who are making crazy profits from the market now are those that have take there time to learn about the market and understand how the market moves with plenty of experience. Sometimes I only laugh at some persons that are too eagered to make money from the market without thinking appropriately before they make any decisions on the market as investors.

[DeathAngel]

Patience is required to be a good investor in any asset/commodity class. The only people worrying about bitcoin at 26k are noobs or people who bought at 50k or higher. Bitcoin is volatile, it is what it is. If you have a regular job that can pay your bills then sit back & relax, bitcoin is going nowhere but up long term, everything else in between is just noise.

Brilliant post! As a long time hodler I can confirm every word is 100% correct! It's always darkest before the dawn you know that right? To become successful with your investment you have to be patient. There's no reason to sell now as the price will be going up from here. Halving is on the horizon.

The irony here is that same people who bought at 50k wished for bitcoin to hit 30k before they buy, but they didn't have the patience to wait for the bear. That means they're just impatient both ways, I could remember telling someone not to put money into bitcoin at 50k, yet to no avail. I don't know what their thinking was, you know such people have big dreams, bitcoin hitting 100k must have been in their mind. The disappointment led lots of investors to take the loss and move away. Just few noobs that bought bitcoin at that amount would still be holding it till date.

[jeraldskie11]

I understand how tough the market is right now. I've been waiting for a number of years, and there hasn't been a significant change. But, because I know how to assess the market, I feel we are still in a bullish trend as long as the price does not return to $19k. The market's bullishness is not the same as it was in 2021, where there was a lot of impulsive movement. Whatever happens in the market, I will never weary of waiting for the price to rise higher. Based on my personal analysis, I believe that when we spikes of prices, it will potentially reach the $40k supply zone.

[Distinctin]

No, I am not tired or waiting for any pump to happen as soon as today. Just give it some time, it literally went from $3000 to $69000. That's a 23x move.
Let it calm down, let the shitcoins craze go down, then we will start going up again. Most probably after the next Bitcoin Halving which is scheduled for May-June 2024.

I am never in a hurry too to make profits by selling my coins, as that will only mean still a loss for me seeing bitcoin price has not reached yet at its peak. So this is more of a moment to hold even more while waiting for a good price to sell. Being impatient and tired of waiting for a jump will not work at all, as everything that happen in the market requires high understanding and high patience as well.

No, it's common. Since this is not the first time going through a bearish period and based on other people's experiences, many people are waiting longer to see a bullish era. I still firmly believe that in the next few years there will be a bullish era after the Bitcoin halving. This is one of the things that triggers my enthusiasm to continue to be patient in facing the bearish phase which is always full of up and down drama, very drastic market drops and so on. Even though the results are not yet known, at least we will continue to try to be more patient so as not to be provoked by emotions and panic.

Hodling is the most effective way to make you profitable with less risk and less efforts. That is why if we can hold more especially in this current market condition, then it will always be the best decision than to sell your coins at a low price as that will only make you regret your decision in the end. Also, know that patience is very important to make you successful and profitable in this type of investment so learn to be more patient than to resort into selling your coins and consider yourself a big loser.

^ I agree.
Holding for the long term can indeed be an effective strategy to potentially increase profitability and reduce risk. By staying invested during market downturns, you avoid selling at low prices and potentially missing out on future gains. As they say,  patience is a virtue in the world of investments, and learning to be patient can certainly contribute to your success and profitability.
Probably I will call you dumb if you are selling your coin under the price where you purchased it.

I don't know on what basis you said that, because AFAIK it's not a factor on the list of technical analysis strategies. One of my friend also used to say that, but his theory was like after every bull run there comes bearish run and then btc will halve after next 4 years and then again the cycle of bull run first and bearish run 2nd will start and this will keep happening after every 4 years. Well, atleast he was using the factor of halving not just mentioning this.m

Well, no wonder the ATH of that time bull run might be in the time span of 2017 but he must be aware of Halving at that time and he still sold them out, as in the graph after two years in 2013, price went from 14$ to more than 1000$ dollars in the last quarter of that year.so if he would have many BTC then he must be in great profit at that time too.

[Hypnosis00]

I couldn't assure myself how long I could wait but there is one thing I was sure of, and that is to sell when I gain a profit. Because for me, waiting for too long is not good, and why we should have to wait for $100k when we already have the chance to sell them at $70k (as an example), and we are not wasting time and missed the opportunity? Holding is necessary but not all the time we should have to wait for the price that was even hard to reach. We also have to be smart as investment is not all about holding but also selling with a profit.

It's quite astonishing how history repeats itself.  These are the exact words of people and I remember when it used to be my exact words. This kind of posts is inevitable when you refuse to invest with budgeting. If you enter the market with all your money, including the one meant for emergency, you will sure see bitcoin from the angle of the infographics in Op.
In order to be at ease with your and not to sell under loss, use money you can abandon for a long time and be patient for years.

He must have been aware of halving and investors were waiting for halving just as we are waiting now and Bitcoin seem to continue in side movement for so long time. This is pure history repeating itself.

Everyone has their own targets of when we should sell. I agree to what you've said that if you can make profit on $70k then you don't have to wait any longer for $100k if you're not going to wait for it. While for the others, they'll take any potential opportunity that they see like selling on $70k and then buys back and then will wait again for further increases like if it will reach to $100k. For me, I'm not tired of holding and this is like the market that I like and willing to wait since my patience has already been ticked in by a few bear markets that we've experienced. But you do your own strategy and what makes you profitable and content for every sale or trade that you do.

For those that have experienced a lot of crashes or corrections, buying low and selling high has became a basic thing. But still, despite that, it's hard to get into this basic moments when your emotion is fighting against you.

Holding is effortless but when someone's patience is gone, despite being the easiest strategy to stay on this market, there will be changes and that can make them out and lose it.

That's why those that have a lot of exposure on this market and saw the ups and downs of the entire market are likely the most patient people.

[romero121]

With bitcoin we should have the patience and the mind to read the market well. Getting into panic never gonna help you with the betterment of holding bitcoin. We should understand that the market never varies according to our expectation. It is the market that runs independent, and we need to have our prediction and act depending on the variation taking place in the market.

Most people prefer long term holding, however if there arises a big jump in the market that needs to be used rather than waiting for the long term. This way you will be able to book the profit and buy back again as the market drops.

I don't encourage you to sell at a loss, Imagine buying at 10 dollars and selling at 3 dollars I think that will be better, no pain no gain waiting till the price goes back to its normal price, and have profited I think that will be better. For some time now, bitcoin has been experiencing a serious price drop that has affected a lot of people, especially those who have invested heavily in Bitcoin. Holding and waiting is not as easy as it has been said, imagine your money dropping. and for some like me, I don't think I will be selling.
