Why HODLing is such a genius strategy

[oll]

HODLing is a strategy par excellence which matters if you want to make a profit from Bitcoin.
You just have to keep your Bitcoins safe and hope for price rises. It's all you have to consider when HODLing, and it's what makes such a strategy so popular. You don't have to worry about it, as long as you have sent your Bitcoins to an address for HODLing. You don't even have to reallocate your portfolio, Bitcoin HODLing is timeless par excellence.

Even a complete beginner can understand why the method of storing bitcoins in one’s wallet is very attractive to all groups of investors.
The thing is that if you just take a look at the chart, you’ll see how Bitcoin constantly updates its ATHs every few years. And even now, when Bitcoin was at a price of 60k and even lower, it still made a sharp leap out of that hole to reach 80k. This is crazy volatility, and it’s clear that it’s only a matter of time before Bitcoin breaks its previous ATH for the current year, reaching 126k.

HODL and DCA is a good methods if investing, even Ledger advice it:



but hacks on hardware wallets make even this not entirely reliable.

As for a return to 126k - we’ll see how soon that will happen,it all depends on ETFs, which may move back and forth, but they smooth out sharp drops and rises because, overall, they are intended specifically for investing, not for short‑term or medium‑term trading. A 50 percent drop confirms this; in the past, drops were as high as 90 percent. In general, Bitcoin is not a reckless youngster, but a mature asset, albeit still high‑risk for now.
I recently came across a graph showing the withdrawal of their hard‑earned BTC from old wallets by large investors, from btcparser.com.


They transferred BTC in August five times more often than in July. Of course, this is related to ColdCard, but if they deposited Bitcoin on exchanges, it creates a chance of sales. But I hope this is just a precaution - a search for safe places in our turbulent times.

There are lots of people that prefer to hodl and not get involved in trading, although it is possible to make profit from both of them but logically it's common that hodling Bitcoin is much safer than having to trade. Hodling Bitcoin has some conditions to it as well and one of them is patience, the market rewards patience in the long run and there is no way that anyone can be able to make profit without it because for you to be a successful Bitcoin investor you must be able to hodl Bitcoin for a long term and also be able to be consistent when it comes to using strategies like DCA to continually accumulate more coins.

Buying and holding bitcoin for a long time is always the best even though you make profits in trading your bitcoin what ever you get can't amount to what you would have gain if you were able to hold for long.

Trading in bitcoin is where the risk is mostly involved because you can buy bitcoin now and expect it to start increasing in a short time so you can take profit while waiting for the increase the price might start decreasing and instead of waiting for long or continue buying bitcoin at that low price you will sell out of panic of bitcoin getting more dip, this is why people should always focus on a long time BTC investment and buy consistently and persistently using the dca strategy.

HODLing is indeed a great strategy but at the same time, it is not that simple and it really tests our patience.
When the bear market arrives and we see a complete blood bath in the crypto market, that is when the devil in us controls our mind and forces us to sell at cheaper price.
It is exactly at that time that we have to take control of ourself and dare the devil, keep holding on to our coins until we see them back to the moon.
Controlling our urges to sell is a big deal and it takes strong will to hold on for such a long time.

I agree with your main point that Bitcoin HODL is not as easy as it seems, in reality it is not as easy. In a bull market, when the portfolio is growing every day, it is very easy to call yourself a long-term holder. The real test starts when the price is down for a few months. And in a bear market, it is difficult for people to hold it because of financial weakness. If someone buys bitcoin with the required amount of money, then it is natural for him to panic when the price falls. This is where the importance of discretionary income comes in. If you DCA with discretionary income, you will be able to control your emotions even when the price of bitcoin keeps falling. And backup funds are also very important for bitcoin holding . Income stops for a few months, medical expenses , family problem may come, then where will the money come from? Of course, at that time you will not want to sell your bitcoin holding. Then if you have some funds as a back up, it will definitely be very beneficial. And this is an important part of proper planning and fund management in investing in bitcoin. And for those who invest in bitcoin according to proper planning, the bear market acts as an opportunity. For a long-time holder, when the price of bitcoin is low, he can buy more bitcoin at a lower price.

Point taken. The thing is, during such times of trouble where we are facing a money crunch, we need to have an emergency fund to help us out in these scenarios.
The emergency fund should be the first thing that we should plan before even we start our investment journey.
That is what will help us out and avoid us selling our assets during such bear markets. As you said, financial planning and fund management is a must to tackle such scenarios.

Buying and holding bitcoin for a long time is always the best even though you make profits in trading your bitcoin what ever you get can't amount to what you would have gain if you were able to hold for long.

Yes, it's the best strategy; however, simply HODLing doesn't guarantee success. There's more to it than that. If we keep building our position by buying during dips and natural market pullbacks, we'll have a much stronger investment.

In any case, HODLing might seem good, but if we actively manage the investment by stacking more along the way, it can yield better long-term returns. BTC is the best asset in the world, so we must strive to make that strategy work best for our individual finances.

Yes, you have to hold Bitcoin and keep accumulating Bitcoin. Consider the time of price decline as a strategy to increase holding more. If we can keep the idea of ​​accumulating Bitcoin for the long term in mind, then it will be possible to easily get a decent portfolio of Bitcoin holding. Instead of trying to build a strong holding position in one day we have to adopt a slow-moving policy build a strong and own financial system without taking risks in investments, and give importance to emergency funds and cash flow to keep Bitcoin holding intact.

You have said very valuable things about Bitcoin holding. We have to be active. Yes, we must be active. To be active prioritize the DCA strategy and be regular in Bitcoin regardless of the price trend in the market.

When you know how to use what you can afford to lose in bitcoin  holding and it will make you to continue using the strategy to make what will make you to prefer holding bitcoin for bullish season to come before you can sell, there are some holders who still experience losses from bitcoin holding because such holders don't know how to hold for the price of their wish to come to reality before they can sell to achieve what they want from bitcoin,  I will advice newbies to have idea of this long term holding before applying huge amount of funds to purchase bitcoin for long term holding.

Also sounds interesting when I read stuffs about Hold, DCA and all sorts of accumulation strategies, it’s quite easier said than actualizing it. The big  challenge most time is balancing between income and bills. in my country, most people are not high income earners, they in fact struggle to manage to afford to pay pills, that way it is difficult to even identify their discretionary income that should  be used to accumulate bitcoin. Hence holding bitcoin for such people is a really difficult thing to do, because any small pressure they fall back to the holding for survival.
However holding is a great thing to do if one is really serious about securing the future in bitcoin, because historically bitcoin has always being profitable over the year and there hasn’t been anyone that held bitcoin for a long time that would dispute that fact but it’s not easy like we are always saying it here.

In building a long-term Bitcoin holding, it is important to accumulate gradually within your financial capacity. It is more reasonable to follow a well-organized plan rather than making each fluctuation the sole basis for future decisions. By buying Bitcoin according to your ability at regular   an average purchase price is created over a long period of time. Income, expenses, and financial situation and investment amount should be adjusted to reality. If you do not have enough cash on hand in an emergency, you may be forced to sell Bitcoin when the market falls. Strong holdings are not created by one big trade or one-day decision. It is a combination of time, regular savings, proper risk management, and investing within your financial capacity.

Yes HODLing alone without stacking up more bitcoin along the way can't get you a good bitcoin portfolio and your level of success won't be much because you weren't buying bitcoin again rather just HODLing the previous bitcoin you have accumulated before.
Investors need to set some target by regularly buying BTC continually using their discretionary income and hodl years for about 4-10 years or more by making sure to have reached their desire goal or bitcoin over-accumulation point.

HODLing strongly undervalued assets is a genius strategy 

Wow!… this is the best one line comment I’ve seen today. Yes even as bitcoin’s value may be seen as expensive it could still be undervalued when compared to what it could be in the future.
It’s only through buying now with money you won’t be needing for a long time (discretionary income) and holding through all market conditions.
Holding is really a powerful strategy, with the compounding effect of time, investors are better positioned for potential returns

When you know how to use what you can afford to lose in bitcoin  holding and it will make you to continue using the strategy to make what will make you to prefer holding bitcoin for bullish season to come before you can sell, there are some holders who still experience losses from bitcoin holding because such holders don't know how to hold for the price of their wish to come to reality before they can sell to achieve what they want from bitcoin,  I will advice newbies to have idea of this long term holding before applying huge amount of funds to purchase bitcoin for long term holding.

Those who are holding don't really have much work to do, and when you talk about investing what you can afford to lose, I believe that should be for traders the most. When you buy, you don't have much to worry about, whereas when you trade, your money would be gone. It's better for us to understand the risk that comes with both of them, and holding is even better because it's one of the things you can do that won't cost you anything and only a few drops in price will undoubtedly rise in the future.

One of the things that holders should be afraid of is scammers or losing their seed phrase. This is why we need to be ready as holders because one of the biggest mistakes is wanting to hold but not understanding the responsibility of holding; either you trade or you hold for a long time, and you need to have a plan of how you can handle everything.

The HODL is the best strategy to profit with Bitcoin. But many investors dont have patience because the profit takes time and keep losing money in the short term speculating. What you have to worry is with the security of your Bitcoin in the wallet with the time that you are holding the Bitcoin with the HODL.

[ruykeri]

Investors need to set some target by regularly buying BTC continually using their discretionary income and hodl years for about 4-10 years or more by making sure to have reached their desire goal or bitcoin over-accumulation point.

You are right that accumulation does not automatically progress by just holding the previously purchased Bitcoin. You have to buy regularly and hold it. And you have to make sure that you have a plan to continue it for a long time. If someone invests a lot of money, even if the price of bitcoin decreases in the future, he will not get that opportunity. And someone who is investing regularly using time will definitely be different. He will be able to buy bitcoin at an average price and at the same time, a stronger portfolio will be created than the person who invested with a much larger amount of money. He also has to take less mental stress to invest regularly. So along with holding, we should continue to invest in bitcoin regularly.

[Franctoshi]

It's time based strategy proven to be the most profitable approach ever for those that has held and are still holding till date, and due to Bitcoin increasing demand against reducing of its supply overtime. Therefore, if anyone wants to also be profitable just buy and hold, if you want the best result or reward, Bitcoin doesn't reward those that wants to make quick cash or profits but rewards the most patient people or investors.

What you have to worry is with the security of your Bitcoin in the wallet with the time that you are holding the Bitcoin with the HODL.

Those without patience will learn it time after time. Because like me, I don't have the patience to hold long time ago. But when I've seen and realized that this strategy is perfect for people like me who's busy and has got a lot of things to do. I want to do it without being pressured, then holding and DCA is the best option for someone like me. And that's why these people will learn it when they have realized that there's more to holding and they don't need to be so good in any financial aspect but, they need to be consistent from doing it.

Controlling our urges to sell is a big deal and it takes strong will to hold on for such a long time.

That is why if one is determined to hold for a longtime, self control is one important thing they need to have. With self control an investor won’t be easily triggered by emotions, even if they want to, self control holds them back. To hold bitcoin is not an easy journey, even persons that know how good it is to hold for long term still fail to do that, not because they don’t have the determination but they are been controlled by their emotions.

This is why trading isn't suitable for everyone, as it carries higher risks and requires thorough analysis to determine short-term positions. If they can analyze effectively and take the right positions, their potential for profit is higher. However, if they can't, they could face losses or, even worse, a margin call.
That's why for people who don't want the hassle of guessing prices and want lower risk, DCA is perfect for them because they don't have to worry about figuring out the best time to get in and they can consistently invest according to their financial ability.

Many people prefer to "hodl" Bitcoin because it's much easier. You don't have to do anything other than sit back and watch your investment grow over time. The only downside is that your profit margin will be lower. You'll also end up waiting longer to obtain a return on your investment. With trading, you can get quicker results. Only if you know how to do it well. Trading bots often make our lives easier by executing trades automatically based on current market conditions. They can also follow a strategy if you give it to them.

For many, buying and "hodling" Bitcoin has produced wonderful results. Just avoid investing more than what you can't afford to lose, and there should be nothing to worry about.

A trader has to monitor the market regularly and analyze the market situation and make decisions. This is a job where knowledge, experience and risk management are all important. If someone can analyze the market well and take the right position at the right time, he can get the opportunity to profit in the short term. It is not always possible to accurately understand the market trend in advance. Losses can occur if the market goes against expectations. Especially when using leverage, the risk increases. In addition to the possibility of quick profits, the trader must always keep in mind the possibility of quick large losses. DCA can be a relatively simple method for those who do not want to make decisions by looking at market fluctuations every day. You can do it weekly, monthly or on any other basis according to your cash flow. As a result, there is no pressure to buy at the exact bottom of the market every time. DCA helps in creating discipline in investing. However, DCA does not eliminate the risk of Bitcoin in any way and it does not guarantee profit. If the market is down for a long time, the value of the investment made in DCA can also decrease. It is not right to look at trading and DCA only from the perspective of which is more profitable. Rather it is important to choose the method that best suits a person's knowledge, risk-taking ability  and financial situation. Make responsible decisions based on your own capabilities and goal . rather than seeing any method as a surefire way to profit.
