My message to Hodlers

[hero_the_bossman]

^ News affect the market only temporarily.

Things behind the scene - they have a much more lasting effect.

[Furious 7]

I would emphasize that in the end those who make long-term investments for bitcoin actually don't really care about market conditions and until now the fact that not a few people hold bitcoin even more than we imagine is quite a lot not just one or 2 people so this has no impact whatsoever when the market is volatile they remain comfortable with the hodl they do.

Although I also know that everyone has their own control and is free to do anything including releasing their ownership but what is certain is that after releasing then they are also indirectly no longer hodlers. Indeed, in this case everyone has their own goals and I also agree with some people when they say that we are not always in bitcoin but in the end, something like this of course we can understand that our goal of investing is for long-term goals and to make ourselves have the expected financial freedom (this is my goal) as long as I can do that in bitcoin and there is a better long-term progress then why get out before our goals are achieved regardless of market influences and including what you said about whales or whatever I don't feel too burdened because for me as long as the progress in bitcoin is still very worth it then there is no reason to stop being a hodler.

As long as BTC upholds its core values - there is always a point in hodling on.

But targets put by each and everyone of us - they are different, you are totally right. And it's always viable to do what you see as the better option for yourself.

Bitcoin price is doing great right now, so we should be happy with what we have, and not be worried about anything else. I get that it is going to be a tough one for many people, but we need to make sure that we are doing a good job for the long term, otherwise we are not going to make any money. I get that people are worried about the prices but the reality is that the price is keep going higher and higher, so if you really want to make some money then you should be making money by checking what you are doing.

I get that it's tough but I also get that it is just holding, and many people do it, and companies too, and even nations now. So, just do what the yare doing and you will make money like they are making money during holding period.

[Zoomic]

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.

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
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.

Yes, all these are powerful reasons for Bitcoin growth, although none of them can compare with Trap. There is no point in building graphs for traders to try to predict where the price of cryptocurrency will go, you just need to read Trump's Twitter. Times are always changing and now in power in the US is the person who easily changes the prices and rates of cryptocurrencies and stock markets with one word. And it's good that the scolding with China has now died down, which is why the price of Bitcoin was able to recover above 100k again. Holding Bitcoin is the right advice, because it has proven itself strong, immortal, I would even say. While altcoins look weaker than ever.

I actually wanted to raise a topic about this you have discussed in this thread. Anyone that is observant in this industry will understand that there is a paradigm shift in bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large. Before now, the technical analysis used to be the basis of price prediction. But today, Trump's statements or even that of Saylor's is liable to move the market. So, people no longer bother to study the market, but they will just try to be updated in the socioeconomic and sociopolitical news and all is fine for them. So, it is very important that we understand the stage we are and realign our mindset and efforts accordingly.

[Yoona_As]

It is indeed a good suggestion, however, there are many Bitcoin investors who are new to the field of investment, they are always at risk when investing and they get more scared after watching the panic videos on various social media, which has a very bad effect on investment. However, if they consider it from a historical perspective, although it always fluctuates, it has been pumping a lot compared to dumping, which is currently the highest. So in my opinion, the price of Bitcoin will increase further, which will not disappoint investors and will make them more interested in investing.

[Mahiyammahi]

It might never come, the 4 year cycle might be altered. Time for panick selling is gone in BTC.

You are absolutely right, the acceptance of Bitcoin is constantly increasing. And the way governments of every country are adopting Bitcoin, it is understood that they will soon enter the market in a big way. A long cycle has passed, of course something good is waiting, the bright light will be seen by those who can survive till the end.

Instead of selling, I think it is best to follow a method. If I can take a loan from the market instead of selling, I think it is the best decision. If I can take a little Create Currency loan against the current holding instead of selling it and if I can increase my holding with that ring, then I can definitely make some free profit. But of course, I have to do the work by doing risk management.

Just buy and hold, and take some time to sell when the market is in bull run, that’s the best way to gain excellent profits. Otherwise, if you just keep hodling without any plan to sell, you will not taste the fruit of your profits, which is a very wrong move. Hold when everybody is hodling, but do not be greedy not to take some profits when the market is giving us the biggest opportunity to gain profits.

Hodlers need to keep hodling because there is no point selling now due to panicking that the market is going to fall more than it has already done. If they are to sell now, what was all the point for hodling to the highest price that the price of Bitcoin was to peaked. The market has gotten to $100,000 and there is more chances now than before that the price of Bitcoin can rise more. Dumping now is the worst decision any gamble can take. No old hodler should be in doubt because they have to be in profits already. Anybody that had bought Bitcoin last year should be in a a position that although they would not have made big profits but they are not losing. This should help them keep on hodling and waiting for the market to suprise them.

Risk cannot be completely eliminated because in any case being in bitcoin is definitely about the risk that we must face because this is something that should happen as a form of our process in bitcoin. We should not only look at the positive side that bitcoin can be profitable but from situations and things that are not desired we must be able to stimulate ourselves to be ready to face it as a risk that we must bear.

That is not a problem for me, but in this case it depends on us how we respond to it in the end. If we are still fomo about bitcoin and do not want to learn it, then we will always feel anxious, but the condition is different if we have begun to understand how bitcoin works, then in the end something like this will clearly become a different condition.
Being too hasty and making it seem like risk is always a problem will actually make us too panic and unable to be calm in responding to something including the correction or temporary decline that occurs for bitcoin.

I also agree with you on this opinion of yours: you don't have to hold forever before you can actually say you made everything profit from bitcoin. We buy to make profit, and we should always have a target for when we want to sell and take that profit and not think we can hold forever until when bitcoin will stop growing, which will never happen. Being too greedy will prevent someone from having the opportunity to make profit when they could have.

Buying with a long-term investment goal is always the best choice, besides getting a significant increase potential in the future, on the one hand our mentality as holders also becomes stronger, because even though the portfolio is losing, it will not be a significant problem, because we already have a clear goal why we bought Bitcoin.

If you want to sell the Bitcoin that we have, then as much as possible sell it only to meet real life needs, because of course real life is more important, especially when we have previously bought at a low price, so when the price has experienced a high increase like now, it is only right for us to take a little profit.

What guarantees are there that the 4 year cycle is over and we won't have another bear season, or that bitcoin won't have another panic sell? Just because governments, institutions...invest in bitcoin doesn't mean they're going to change its cycle. Currently, the market cycle is still repeating and we are still in the post-halving bull season.

Also, investing is for profit and everyone has their own goals, as long as they are satisfied with their profits, they can sell anytime they want. Giving advice on when to buy and sell is not a wise idea as we are not responsible for their investments, nor can we predict the future.

If there's newbie holder and they are panicking, just let them see the ROI stat of the long term holders. Those wildly outperform 90% of traders by just holding it long term.

Just buy and forget and they're already outperforming 90% of people in the market and save them from the current high inflation. As easy as that.

If we assume the same thing about the current time as Bitcoin has declined in the past, it will not be logical. In the past, when a bear market came, the general market would have started to decline. But such a decline cannot be expected at the present time. The supply of Bitcoin is still the same as it was in the past. But the number of investors has increased much more now than before. Due to the fixed supply, the demand will also increase in the future. That is why the possibility of profiting from Bitcoin will increase for those who hold Bitcoin for a long time.

Depending on several factors you mentioned, the price of Bitcoin may increase significantly in the future. The interest of investors at the institutional level is increasing. The current President of America has also given a positive message about Bitcoin. Moreover, various countries are also planning to reserve Bitcoin, due to which there is a great possibility of increasing the price of Bitcoin.

I agree with you Bitcoin should only be sold when there is an emergency which has to do with life or when one sees other investment prospects apart from that I can't advise anyone to sell for the purpose of rebuying and accumulating more because Bitcoin is always on the rise so what should be the utmost concerned about every one that have interest in Bitcoin should be holding for as much as possible because we have seen the price of Bitcoin soar up over the year so the days of been skeptical about Bitcoin is over Bitcoin is now one of the biggest investments prospects that anyone can go into

Which is why an emergency funds needs to be set aside while holding Bitcoin so the holder won't see any need to sale what they're holding during times of emergency, except maybe it's a life or death situation and the problem is beyond what the emergency funds can solve then it's important to sell some of what the person is holding, to survive.

 Yeah it has proved that their's hope for it to go higher so the best thing to do as a holder is to continue holding for many years as long as possible, so you'll get lots of profits when the price goes higher in the future, it's a very good investment opportunity that works with time, a long time to be precise not for short-term gains.

Dude, who are you to tell the HODLers when to sell and when not to sell? They can decide on their own.
I can't agree that there would never be any panic selling on the Bitcoin market ever again. New retail investors are entering the cryptocurrency markets every day. Most of them are lacking experience and they would totally panic, if something negative happens and FUD starts dominating the markets.
Also the big whales and institutional investors might start selling big amounts of BTC at some point, not because they are panicking, but because they want to sell high and buy low, taking advantage of the retail investors panic selling.

BTC is FUD proof now, nothing can affect it. Real money is invested on it from governments, institutions, etc.
Now everyone are checking if institutions buy or sell crypto and follow them, this is driving market now. As long as they keep buying people will buy and keep holding, the problem occurs when they sell. That's when the tanking starts.

[batang_bitcoin]

The best is yet to come for Bitcoin as they say and I am believing that. If those holders for a very long time feels that they need to take some for rewarding themselves, you're very free to do that. But it's true that the days for panicking is gone at least for now because we're in a bull run. And wait again if the market turns bearish and we'd see people from different communities, new and old, might start to panic and we'd hear again bad thoughts about Bitcoin. While us, we've been used to the roller coaster ride and we're just chilling on the side with all of the sideways it does.

Hold as long as you can. But don't also miss the time when you can make some profit. Despite the positive outlook for bitcoin's future, we still remind ourselves that we never know exactly what will happen the next day. So I say to sell some during bull season. This never means we are worried, but this is a smart decision (for me). We did this because we already have the opportunity. We can reinvest and start our journey again.

We make the market more active through continuous buying and selling. Holding is just like making the market silent. Imagine if we all investors held our bitcoin; it means that we never let other people invest.
