The thread is for speculative purpose.

Alright guys, so through this period that bitcoin price has falling with anticipation of further bearish price I have a question to issue out to the forum users, let us share our thoughts on it and follow it with logical arguments and persuasion.

So talking of hodling throughout this market drop down. Which category of investors do you think by large actually held /holding their bitcoin portfolio. The retail Investors or the institutional investors? Remember to make your point logical.

For now the answer is very obvious that institutions are still Holding some portion of their bitcoin but if price goes below this, they would be the first to dump it all on us. Retail traders includes the strong bitcoiners who trust the system and believe that sooner or later price would definitely resume it's course and turn bullish. A good example are those OG that are yet to touch any of their BTC regardless of the last ath, they still didn't sell. Now that majority would be waiting for price to drop any lower and sell out of fear, only smart ones would know very well that this is simply an opportunity to buy at much lower prices..

It's just my personal view that retail investors are the ones selling the most during a market downturn like the one we're experiencing now. Because most retail investors are so easily swayed by short-term conditions, they readily sell in the hope of preventing further losses if the price drops further. Institutional investors, on the other hand, typically have a more long-term investment strategy, making it less likely that short-term conditions will force them to sell all their Bitcoin holdings.

However, that doesn't mean institutional investors are the strongest when it comes to holding. Bitcoiners who adhere to the HODL principle and long-term investors are the true holders, who can hold Bitcoin even when the price drops significantly, and even accumulate more, as if considering it a discount.

The only logic I can catch there is the mode their investment by which determines the status of their Bitcoin custodial.
We know that institutional investors are not in custody of their Bitcoins but the authorities that provides the service does and it is ideal that anyone having a share in the institution should have an investment plan of holding in the long time and therefore, since they are not accessible to their Bitcoins, they can not afford to undertake the processes of engaging with an intermediary to sell their Bitcoin regularly but firmly holding persistently to achieve a goal. And until then they hits the portfolio, they rarely sell  and on the process, they don't panic while long term insurance is secured.

Retail investors are self custody to their Bitcoins and therefore the accessibility could prompt convenient sell order (quick sell) and are easily driven by FOMO to sell their Bitcoins with a lot more reasons to sell like immediate needs and lack of managements.

So, retailers sells rapidly while institutionals sells rare.

Holding can be practiced by anyone, we all have access to determine what we are holding and how we should hold, the bear is an opportunity to test our patience and hold, we can as well buy the more as the market also fall, anyone can hold, be it individual or corporate investors, as long as we have all it takes to maintain holding without the fear of missing out at every fall of the market.

It's difficult to answer for others, so I'll just give my own position: I didn't sell any BTC at a loss during this downturn. I'm holding on to what I have and buying a little BTC when I have new liquidity. I trade a little (spot) to take advantage of the volatility.

Institutional investors have the ability to hold Bitcoin for longer periods; unless the price drops significantly, they are unlikely to sell large quantities.
Retail investors are more susceptible to FUD (Fear of Uncertainty) and are often the first to sell when a correction occurs.
