This is actually not for everyone here because many people believe that when they invest on bitcoin they want immediate results in the next few minutes without them having that sene of reasoning that bitcoin is something that respects season and period, what I meant is that we have bear markets and we have bull markets all these also attribute to growth of the market but that doesn’t mean that we should be that loose without knowing the time to sell or buy back. Currently there are people who are panicking for the bitcoin price to increase to the previous ATH or above but without having it mind that the market always have when to push higher or lower as a good bitcoin investor you should be able to hold back your investment for some decades depending on your investment strategy, some love short term while some people love long term investment just to make sure they have reached their target.

When you look at the market what comes into your mind currently? As I have understood the price is around 78k without having that potential to cross the border between 80-90k and when this is broken we can rest assured we are into bull run but currently it’s on unpredictable zone where you would never know whether is increasing or decreasing. What do you think about it!

Bitcoin has the potential to cross the 80k range. A few days ago, it was around 80k to 82k before the sudden price drop, which happened recently. A day or two.
The market is not comfortable in one direction. If I may say so, I agree that the market is still in a downtrend. So, a possibility of 90k soon is slightly not achievable. However, anything can happen in the market. Tomorrow, Bitcoin can surpass 80k and peak at 90k while we watch.

When come to withdrawal it boils down to hitting my accumulation goal . You can’t be withdrawing when accumulating, you won’t see the necessary growth in your bitcoin , it will look like your growth is stagnant which most investors don’t want .

So best is to be patient while you build and hold for longterm. Because if you rushed and start withdrawing you will only messed your investment up badly .

As for me, the bull market is still far fetched, which means the bull market is not coming very soon as some persons may think. Surely it will come, and will still record more than the precious all time high, but it is a matter of time, and patience. Bitcoin remains the best cryptocurrency because it doesn't promise quick profit. Every genue investment rewards investors on a long term investment strategy, and that is what bitcoin does.
How long an investor wants to hold his or her Bitcoin depends on the investment goal, because some people are investing in bitcoin for retirement, and some are investing for other reasons, but which ever reason you are investing for , holding bitcoin for decades will surely yield a significant profit for an investor.

If you had observed bitcoin mechanism and its movement you would have understood that bitcoin can’t make some level of changes within a few months and that is the expectation you probably have for bitcoin not but however, bitcoin is moving at its pace and is heading up high like it’s supposed but before it makes some level of movement in price it firstly takes a rehearsal period and I’m quite sure this is the period.

The goals behind Bitcoin are financial freedom and personal sovereignty. The goals are not short term, medium term, or long term profits and returning into the corrupt fiat system. People who do not understand this are here for the wrong reason. If you adopt Bitcoin for the right reason, you will stop thinking about it regarding the state of the current market. Bitcoin tends to reward those who adopt it for the right reason that those who adopt it for the wrong reason, so be careful what you wish for. I do not spend almost any time looking at the price, I can't do anything about that but I can educate myself more and continue advocating for a Bitcoin only lifestyle.

The short term price movements are not really relevant to the topic that the person has made, even if it is included in this paragraph. The goal is to be able to live off of Bitcoin permanently and never actually sell it. One can take out some loans using Bitcoin and things like that in the end goal, but the terms that are given for things like that are still bad so I would wait more. Someone just made another topic with the name "Don't just sell your Bitcoin holding, think about replacing it." so people should take lessons from that.

The way the market take dey move, I no think say we go just settle for the thing say we go enter full bull run if the market breaks above $90K. Sha all na predictions and speculation, so anything fit happen. But as for me sha, if the market never still break above $100K with full sign of bullish momentum, I no go still dey convince easily say the bull run don show and we go see the market go begin dey go up.

For me, this bearish trend no really last long and e still dey do me like say e go return back again, but until the bull run no happen after break above $100K na him person fit dey sure of wetin e dey predict about the market. Now like this, make we just assume say bitcoin dey consolidate because e no show the direction wey we fit predict am to dey trend on as e be now.

Is this the reason you are thinking of either to continue holding your bitcoin or you should sell it? Do not make mistake of selling your bitcoin now if you do not need the money for now but you just want to save it. Bitcoin is a store of value, you can always be holding your bitcoin is the correct answer to your question.

If bitcoin price is falling, see it as a very good opportunity to buy more bitcoin. You can use NCA, averaging or just lump sum if the price fall more.

Crossing 80–90k doesn’t mean a bull market. You can’t accurately predict the market, It can reach that particular point and still bounce back even harder, so don’t think a bull market is likely to show up anytime soon. If it does, fine! Maybe for those who feel like taking profit, that could be really interesting to them.

Someone in the accumulation stage shouldn’t be too focused on the price for now. Just make sure you’re using every opportunity to increase your stash.

Ad long as Bitcoin exists as a decentralized digital currency which offers us full control over our asset, that's definitely how long I intend to keep holding my Bitcoin investment. Because buying Bitcoin now and expecting to sell immediately you see a spark in its price movement positively. That's the biggest mistake you can make,

Yeah, we probably do have these markets, but der are so many speculations saying d so called "cycle" will break, who knows, it just might, I hope not, but when it does, d rate of unpredictability will be large, therefore, no 1 will be able to tell for sure when it will be bull or bear, or how long you should hold.

I guess diz question can be answered after answering diz other question, why are u investing in Bitcoin? Then d next is, what strategy are u coming up with? Before, how long are u hodling? Cause if u just want to buy n hold without any proper plan or strategy, u can just go ahead and sell anytime u feel like it.

Understanding bitcoin gives a sense of discernment and that is what most investors lack. Many are into Bitcoin for quick returns and not for long term which explains the panic at every slight dip bitcoin makes and the feeling to sell off quickly. But you can't totally control one's actions with mere words if there is no feeling of necessity to acquire more knowledge right?

Every investor has different expectations from bitcoin and a fixed target for withdrawal,  maybe some people for short term and others for long term; it basically depends on how much information they have on bitcoin and how well they trust its system.

When it comes to speculating about Bitcoin, I personally believe that it will provide huge returns in the long run. The price of Bitcoin is always volatile in nature. There is no way to predict in advance what will happen an hour later. Looking at yesterday's market situation it seemed that the price of Bitcoin would probably fall further but looking at today's price situation the price is showing bullish again.
The price will always be in an uncertain state and it is eternal. But in the future, the price of Bitcoin will almost certainly increase more than you expect. Considering the almost certain fact accumulation Bitcoin regularly will be a logical decision. Market uncertainty is our main lesson to accumulate Bitcoin regularly through discretionary income regardless of the price. So that we can be risk tolerant with long term Bitcoin investment.

 Bitcoin wasn't meant for quick profits, it’s not a ponzi scheme, it a volatile asset that's meant to be held for long-term but it's unfortunate that people now risk trading with it thinking they're investing. According to my knowledge Bitcoin should be held for 4-10 years and more for investors to meet up their goals.

 Anything below that is not investing but trading, to be known as investor you should have held for the period of time I specified, those who go into Bitcoin for short-term are traders and i think some do that out of ignorance cause they don't really understand what it takes to be an investor.

Bitcoin is actually a long term investment and that's what a lot of people fail to realize, short investments doesn't really yield significant results. For you to gain something significant from Bitcoin you must invest and keep it running for at least 5 years and above or slightly less than that depending on your investment plan. Investing in Bitcoin for quick returns isn't going to make you profit much from it. One major problem with a lot of investors is that they lack patience and without this it is impossible to invest in Bitcoin, those without patience sell their coins during a dip instead of waiting until the market increases again.

Honestly, i know some friends and persons with small knowledge of Bitcoin, who believe they can make instant  profit from buying bitcoin or within a week. I do get to explain to them that it doesn't work like that. People with less and full understanding of Bitcoin need to understand Bitcoin experience times for growth, correction, and consolidation, and patience is what separates long term investors from emotional traders.
Currently, the market still looks really uncertain to me. I think instead of expecting BTC price surge, this may simply be a period where the market is building strength before the next major move.

What's the point being in haste to sell when you always have the emergency funds to sort out urgent needs that may prompt up unexpectedly. Obviously, Bitcoin investment is known to be a long term investment plan, and those that are normally for short term are usually classified as the traders which is not that advisable because of the risk and the financial limitations that's involved.  

However, in my opinion the best time to hold on to my coin if possible sell is when I might have hit up my investment target of about 4-10 years time and by then I am pretty sure of something significant that will not only cover today but be sure of a more better future ahead.
