My message to Hodlers

[fikrett]

As long as bitcoin still the top performing investment, selling it doesn't sound right.

People are diversifying to bitcoin more than ever. It will become scarce and price can potentially go up even higher than recent ATH.

Selling it for fiat or gold doesn't really sit right with me considering fiat is inflationary and gold is starting to dump.

Hodlers need to take profits too eventually - smaller ones or bigger ones, as it was said - it's everybody's choice to decide on that.

[TheUltraElite]

Why is OP highlighting individuals who have their own motives and ETFs?

Bitcoin is for the people to use and I have seen that in the last 10years, bitcoin adoption has been increasing even if at a slow rate. We dont need someone to tell us about bitcoin, people are showing interest in it. If that continues and the bitcoin supply eventually stops, the natural course will take its place and the prices will rise.

But true, that most people come in for short term gains and enter when the bull run is happening which leads to a lot of chaos and avoidable losses.

[melinoe]

Institutions truly push for faster adoption of BTC on higher levels, but stuff on the smaller scale is still the same - we are not moving much toward using BTC as an alternative to fiat at least for bigger purchases (not so steadily, to say the least), so, truly, if things are going to stay like that, BTC will be good in the long run, but I hope this adoption from high above will eventually turn to the adoption down below.

[Ziskinberg]

Why is OP highlighting individuals who have their own motives and ETFs?

ETFs are one of the main reasons institutional investments are pouring in. Without them, the adoption rate might not be as fast as it is right now. So, you can’t ignore that factor. While we believe Bitcoin is for the people, institutional investors are still people - just a different group of people.

Let them grow as well. After all, if we’re true HODLers, we shouldn’t see anything driving massive adoption as a bad thing.
It’s all part of the bigger picture.

[fikrett]

^ Yep, institutions make things faster adoption-wise, no matter how much time it takes or how many problems arises regarding the regulations, many of them already see through the fud, and many more - to come.

[Kelward]

It will definitely be massive. Sell only if you have a problem to solve or a project to execute. Don't sell in order to have funds to rebuy when the market is down. It might never come, the 4 year cycle might be altered. Time for panick selling is gone in BTC.

Your advice to hodlers is well taken, Bitcoin has gone beyond the level of doubts whether it can be profitable to investors in the future. It has proven it's potentials through reaching ATH in previous bull circles as it's building up to beat it's current ATH for this circle. Only weak hands will panic and sell when there's a dip, experienced holders will use the opportunity to increase their bags, that is how it has always been. Bitcoin adoption is increasing geometrically as more retail and institutional investors are getting in, it's value will keep increasing as more holders are demanding for it.

[Cryptohygenic]

If you started hodling from the 2022 bear market, you are already in good profits. You can decide to exit the market, but I am scared you might regret in the future as it has always been.

I like the fact that you are passing the information to the reach of the beginners letting them know the dividends of making bigger profits is by long term hodling and we can always achieve better when we are holding patiently rather than excitedly selling at every single peak of the market move giving profits.
However, I know everyone must not be on the long term hodling plans because as your bankrolls varies is also out point of needs is demand able.
If we recall as at April, we had a over 2K liquidated getting to the price of bitcoin at the low $75,000 and investors be it old or beginners who bought at that price are over profited looking at today that bitcoin has reached $105,000.

If you have been hodling when only whales directs the market and determine the bull run, think about what is in the future now that we have;
1. The whales
2. ETF
3. Trump and US
4. Aggressive Michael Saylor
5. More companies and institutions.
6. More countries

Don't feel offended. Whenever they sells is their right time, they either sell out of Fomo to digest their emotions or probably they are on need. But the truth, don't regret after selling and mark it that the bitcoin market is volatile which with the existence hodling of the whales and more demands are queued up to buy, the price will keep increasing.

[Ruttoshi]

Every hodler time frame of hodling and price target to take profits differs based on age. You will not expect someone at 67 years who bought bitcoin in 2022 to continue holding his investment for another ten years. It means that he wouldn't enjoy his bitcoin investment before he dies.

Secondly, those early investors can sell and take profits because they're already in 1000x profits. Young investors that are still new to bitcoin investment are the ones that should spend more time stacking their portfolio for their future and not old investors that have accumulated a good size of bitcoin. You can also diversify into stock, bond or gold.

FUD might not be as effective now, especially with institutional investors holding their Bitcoin for the long term regardless of the news. Back then, FUD caused big dumps because only a few whales had the power to shake the market. But with institutions in the market already, those manipulators don’t have the same impact anymore. In a way, it even helps reduce volatility.

Bitcoin will become less and less volatile - such is the summary of big capital flooding in little by little.

The cap on BTC is so big, it's obvious that only a chain of events would be able to affect its price properly.

People who will summons such courage to sell of their Bitcoins now, is people that have a financial challenges that they needed to sort out, because someone who knows the values of Bitcoin can never sell it's Bitcoin all, knowing that bitcoin advances every day by day

Looking at the ATH bitcoin has ascertain right now, is different from the ATH bitcoin has gotten to, in last two years, so the more we approaches new year the more bitcoin is getting new ATH

Bitcoin appreciate every year currently, so the value of Bitcoin is increasing daily, anyone who wants to sell its bitcoin all for now, is of his own detriment, but it would have been better to continue to hold your Bitcoin until you decide to sell, because what you buy bitcoin today is not what you sell next tomorrow due value changes.

To hodl is to be the wisest out there, and it's clearly more viable to cash out gradually, only if needed.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Why are we holding? I think some people would say the reason why they are holding is to become rich and to make a huge profit that they probably can utilize in establishing something else. Majority of investors in the space are holding for different reason and the only person that will regret selling is the person that have not meet up with their target and they ended up selling but what you must know is that everyone has their target as they are holding. Some people that are already holding are yet accumulating more because they have not yet reached the amount of Bitcoin that they expect to accumulate. I have also said it before now that some holder will end up passing their Bitcoin asset to their kids or grandkids because they themselves are already rich and don't have any needs to sell their Bitcoin. So, every holder have their differences.

[Lucius]

My dear Hodler, if you have been hodling for a long time, even when the future of bitcoin is not certain, this is your period of reward. I know that very old hodlers are in great profits already.
If you started hodling from the 2022 bear market, you are already in good profits. You can decide to exit the market, but I am scared you might regret in the future as it has always been.

What about those who have hold for at least 10+ years and have no plans to sell even today? Do you think there's something wrong with these people or do they just prefer to keep their assets in BTC? I think that those who "profit" the most are those who sell only as much as they need, and keep the rest as an asset, which realistically if we take BTC in the context of the future is priceless.

If you have been hodling when only whales directs the market and determine the bull run, think about what is in the future now that we have;
1. The whales
2. ETF
3. Trump and US
4. Aggressive Michael Saylor
5. More companies and institutions.
6. More countries

We always had "whales", we have had Saylor since 2020 like some companies that became interested in BTC after the bull run of 2017. The only thing that makes a difference today are the spot ETFs that evidently accumulate large amounts of BTC, but obviously not (for now) so much as to cause a big bull run that would raise the price by at least 50%.

As for countries, what exactly do you mean? El Salvador has around 6000+ BTC, and no other country is officially buying BTC - the strategic cryptocurrency reserves announced by the US primarily focus on digital assets that are the result of seizures due to criminal activities. Other countries could easily follow this example.

[Wiwo]

Sometimes, I feel that the majority of bitcoin holders that still celebrate short term win of bitcoin price are still not real holders but just advanced bitcoin trader's thos is Becassine what .are you a long term holder is not in the amount of profits that you exit the market but how long you are able to stay in the market, since bitcoin have a sure long term profit mechanism that put you at profits in long term basis.

For that the question noe bounced back to us as a holder, as for if we are going to sell for short term gains, or we be waiting on the long term wins potentials, thos is a point where we decide exactly how and when to exit the market.

[Finestream]

Given that there are more influencers that would impact the market, but that won’t be enough reason for a hodler not to sell and enjoy his profits. We should be reminded that we come to invest in bitcoin to yield some impressive profits, and now that it’s already in front of us, we should stick to our original plan, to sell a portion of our coins to benefit the profits, while we continue to hold the rest of our coins.

No matter how potential the future of bitcoin will be, the fact remains that no hodler is bound to hold forever. We should set when to sell and buy again when there’s a good opportunity, and re-invest to grow and even diversify our investments.

[GPVibes]

Sell only if you have a problem to solve or a project to execute. Don't sell in order to have funds to rebuy when the market is down. It might never come, the 4 year cycle might be altered.

There are different reasons that hodlers could sell. A trader can sell to cash out when he analyse the market to drop at a particular time and that is a reasonable way to profit from the volatility of the market. If as a trader who sees a cash out opportunity from a falling market and he doesn't seize that opportunity, then he might have to regret that because that fall can break the support level and keep diving down which will cause losses.

Time for panick selling is gone in BTC.

Panick buying will still exist as long as trade, volatility and fundamental (that is news) is concern. Weak hands exist and so whether there is institutional investors, those that are not confident will keep creating that fear or fud in the market. In fact, I guess we just came out from a Panick sell that pushed the price down to around $75k before the sudden surge started again. Panick selling happens for correction to be effected. For example weak hands believe that at a point after a long ride upwards that price will fall slightly before continuation and so they sell to cash out after a slight upwards movement.

The target should be met, and be realized eventually.

There is no accomplished target if you don't take out the creams of your hard work, only waiting to do in the decade or years to come.
