Bitcoin halving is hours ago. Will you hold your BTC to April 2028?

[Cryptoprincess101]

Well the question should rather be if I can increase my DCA after this halving event because initially now that is what my plan is and am already working towards getting and extra job coupled with the one I am doing already so I can increase my DCA and hold till next halving and bull run when a new ATH will be created. Buy+hold+patience= wealth

Bitcoin halving a fourth time is at block 840,000. It happened hours ago.

A next halving will be at block 840,000 + 210,000 = block 1,050,000. Estimated time is in April 2028.

Will you hold your bitcoins to 2028?

Bitcoin block rewards now is 3,125 BTC and after 2028 halving, it will be 3,125/2 = 1,5625 BTC.

After the 5 epoch completes, 96,875% of all bitcoins in total supply will be available in circulating supply.

Now Bitcoin already has Stock-to-Flow rate is smaller than Gold.

Personally, I'd hold some BTC in cold storage way beyond the next halving of 2028. That's for my descendants to enjoy. But I understand that most people will be tempted to sell before the halving just to reap in profits.

With how bad the global economy is faring, holdlers will have no choice but to sell BTC for Fiat to pay off their bills. I'm pretty sure market prices will be a lot higher by 2028, than what they are right now. Maybe BTC will finally reach $100k? Who knows? Just keep buying, and "hodling", and forget about the rest.

I don't think so if they are intelligent investors who have good financial management and capital management for what they spent in Bitcoin investment.

An intelligent investor only uses part of capital for investment and always reserve some of capital for pay bills, expenses and for emergent events. If an investor has to sell bitcoin because of inflation, economic crisis, that investor does not have good capital and risk management.

Some of what I have now I will certainly hold for another 4 years. Depending on what the bull market is like in the next 12 months or so, I will sell more or less, but I always consider HODL for the long term, I would say forever, to leave as an inheritance. I think those of us who have been doing this for years don't look at it as an all-or-nothing question, as if I buy a large amount now and sell it in x amount of time. We accumulate as much as we can and we spend or sell as well, especially when the price goes up a lot.

4 years is a long time so I don't know who will be able to hold bitcoins for such a long time because we may have an emergency time when we have no way and we may need to sell bitcoins to protect that emergency time. But if I don't have such an emergency situation, I will continue to invest in Bitcoins as per DCA method instead of selling Bitcoins for the next 4 years or till my retirement time. But I can't guarantee that I won't sell bitcoins for the next 4 years.  Because circumstances may force me to sell at some point.  I think the safety of my life and health should be given first priority

You cannot blame someone if they had to sell their bitcoin due to unforeseen circumstances. Yes they might have something for emergencies however how sure are you that that would be enough?

Not a lot of people have too much money on their hands and some of them are just trying their best to get out of poverty by investing the little amount that they can without compromising their daily lives. It’s hard to predict what will happen, how much you will need and when will you need emergency money.

Yes you can now use your DCA method and by keeping buying price in your mind you will easily make a target of selling your Bitcoin but I think that if you buy now you can also take benefit during current halving that will exist till 2025.

64k$ is not that much higher value therefore if someone is already a Bitcoin investor and has money then he can easily choose this value for investment. Knowledge, money and your tolerance will help you to stand firm during bearish season and continue your journey of success till bull season for sweetest outcomes.

[teamsherry]

I believe that is a personal decision for everyone to make individual and every investment has a timeline of maturity.

IMO it all depends on how much Bitcoin you have been able to accumulate over the years, what would be the need to sell so early if you have not held bitcoin or accumulated enough bitcoin to have some compounding effect on your investment. So basically if you have made profits it's worth selling.

[Rabata]

We have seen the Bitcoin halving and its all-time high price but I believe that the true bullish movement of Bitcoin has not yet started. The recent Bitcoin halving has left some investors panicking in the market, especially those who entered the market with long-term investment intentions. Many investors are still debating whether to hold their bitcoins or sell them. But whatever level the price of Bitcoin comes to is not a problem if a person has a good understanding of Bitcoin. We will see a halving every four years where the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise. As a result, Bitcoin is sure to become a more valuable asset in the future. Personally I am also trying to increase my bitcoin investment. I will try to hold on to my bitcoins until the bitcoin price reaches my expectations.

[darkangel11]

I will. I've held my bitcoin since 2014, so what's another 4 years?
I thought about it many times if I'd ever sell all my btc at any price and came to a conclusion that even if the price happened to be 1 million dollars per coin I'd still hold. I'd of course spend some of it to make my life easier and buy myself a bigger house, maybe a sailboat, maybe a winter home in a warm climate, so I could escape Winter month, but I'd still hold bitcoin.

If you’ve held bitcoin since 2014 that’s an advantage for those of you that knew about it earlier and bought it at a cheaper rate. For those of us that came to know about it two years ago can’t hold for that long because of the money it was worth when we bought it and could hardly get at least 1BTC. We would only prioritize the profit after four years, then wait for a little dump or start another DCA to another halving and then the subsequent bull run and take another profit from it.

In addition, it depends on each person's economy. For people with a good income, many sources of income and wealth, they do not need to depend on investment to have a good life. That will be completely different from people with low income.

That is why it is often seen that sharks can hold bitcoins for years without ever touching them, while retail investors will need a different investment strategy if they want to get bigger profits with their small capital.

For me, it doesn't matter how long we hold bitcoin, what matters is how big or small the profit we make is, people will only look at the results and judge, no one cares whether we have how long to hold bitcoin.

It's just a matter of time. Remember that we, people who bought it earlier, also went through the same process that you are going through now.
For me losing $5k was a big deal in 2014 and I did not knew if I'm doing the right thing. I bought something I thought was priced low, but there was a high probability of it being priced lower. There were moments when I was down on my investment, especially since I was interested in bitcoin when it was worth $500 and it subsequently went below $300, so there was a time when I felt like I fucked up, but I'm stubborn and thought to myself that the sooner I move on and forget about it, the easier it will be to deal with the loss and 3 years later I was up 2000% from being down 50%.
If you prove to be mentally strong, chances are in 2 or 3 years you'll be in my position, telling other people how easy it is to hold bitcoin.

I don't think so if they are intelligent investors who have good financial management and capital management for what they spent in Bitcoin investment.

An intelligent investor only uses part of capital for investment and always reserve some of capital for pay bills, expenses and for emergent events. If an investor has to sell bitcoin because of inflation, economic crisis, that investor does not have good capital and risk management.

Of course. It's always about prioritizing saving over spending. You need to know how to properly manage your finances to be successful in life. Unfortunately, current global economic uncertainty, makes it difficult to save or even invest into risky assets like Bitcoin and Gold. Most investors will be tempted to sell all of their assets to help pay off their debts. Only those that are wealthy or have a significant amount of money to waste are able to "hodl" for a long time.

I think a small number of investors will hold their BTC by 2028. It's a "free market", anyways. Anyone can do whatever they want with their money. But the decisions you make, can either produce long-term consequences or benefits. For what I know, nothing is set in stone. Who knows how far Bitcoin will go in the next 4 years?

Re: Bitcoin halving is hours ago. Will you hold your BTC to April 2028?

Hell NO!!!!
There might be some who are holding their Bitcoins for a very long time already, and there's nothing wrong with it. For me, it's better to take profits during the bull market, reserve a portion of the money that you got, keep it and use it to re-buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies during the bear market.

I already experienced losing huge profits when I decided to hold my Bitcoins in 2021 instead of selling it. I mean I'm just an average investor that's why I'm completely disappointed on myself when I made that decision, but I took that lesson and promised that I will not do it again. Now we have another opportunity to take some profits again. I will not lose this chance this time so to answer the question, I will not hold my CURRENT Bitcoins that I'm holding until 2028, but I will re-buy Bitcoins during the bear market and that's the Bitcoins that I will hold until 2028.

Different investors, different strategies, and as long as you are making money from it then there's nothing wrong.

[michellee]

I've been holding Bitcoin for several years and now I'm just waiting for the ATH to come. After that, I will sell the Bitcoin and take the profit. Maybe after there is another big correction after the latest ATH, I will buy and hold the Bitcoin.

But those who have a lot of Bitcoin will hold most of their Bitcoin. They will only sell a small portion of their Bitcoin because it already provides a large profit for them. By continuing to hold Bitcoin for a long time, they can make other large profits.

Meanwhile, they can stay afloat by selling some of their Bitcoins while still holding other Bitcoins. Well, it all depends on the planning you make. If you don't want to wait any longer, you can sell it at the latest ATH. If not, you can keep holding it until 2028.

[kotajikikox]

Of course. It's always about prioritizing saving over spending. You need to know how to properly manage your finances to be successful in life.

Honestly it’s very easy to get lost in spending when you see profits. That is something we all have to avoid and keep ourselves focused on the long term goal.

Unfortunately, current global economic uncertainty, makes it difficult to save or even invest into risky assets like Bitcoin and Gold. Most investors will be tempted to sell all of their assets to help pay off their debts. Only those that are wealthy or have a significant amount of money to waste are able to "hodl" for a long time.

This is why they say that you should only invest what you can afford to lose because if things go south you might have no choice but to take your holdings and spend them, it’s the best if you separate your money and categorize them into what you can spend, savings and investments.

[Nothingtodo]

Bitcoin halving is already over but instead of increasing the price of Bitcoin has slowly started to decrease and Bitcoin is now standing at 62 thousand from 67 thousand. I have not sold my accumulated bitcoins so far but I have decided not to sell bitcoins before the next halving but to hold them. But Bitcoin is likely to surpass $100k in ATH peak in 2025.

[Poker Player]

For me this is not a question of all or nothing. In 4 years I will have holded part of the Bitcoin I have now, but how much will depend on how the cycle goes and how much the price goes up. It's not like someone who starts now, starts accumulating and is clear that he will not sell anything in the next 4 years, I do plan to make partial sales as the price rises.

Yes. You can buy low, and sell high to make profit. There's no need to wait until the halving. If you're smart, save a portion of your BTC for the halving and sell the rest for profit. Rinse and repeat.

Of course. It's not always about making money. Bitcoin can be used as a currency in times where Fiat money loses value due to inflation. Whenever there's crisis, you can count on Bitcoin (or Gold) to save the day. Unfortunately, most people see Bitcoin as an investment tool and NOT a currency. It's this reason why it will never replace Fiat. Who knows what will happen in the next halving?
