Why HODLing is such a genius strategy

[RockBell]

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.

One beauty about holding is that is meant for everyone unlike trading that’s meant for only those that are well skilled . Holding doesn’t require any technical skill with the right knowledge and cashflow you are good to go , when I say knowledge I’m talking of complex knowledge I meant like the basic knowledge of bitcoin, where to buy , how to buy and how to store it .

Many usually makes holding to seems which is not , if you can’t hold bitcoin for long is a sign that you are not cut off for long term investment because all investments has their own risks so nothing like a risk free investment, that’s why is called bitcoin investment (holding ).

Holding is much simpler than trading because you don’t need advanced skills or spend hours studying charts. You just need to understand the basics of bitcoin, to buy from a trusted platform and store it safely.

What I will add here is that the hardest part is being patient, because many say they are long term investors, but they panic when price drops. In my opinion successful holding is more about discipline than technical knowledge. If you can’t hold through market ups and downs then long term investing may be difficult for you

Because all you have to do is buy and then hold, holding is regarded as one of the simplest things to accomplish. No matter how bad it may be, the market recovery has you covered, in contrast to trading, where once your money is gone, there is nothing you can do except figure out which one works best for you. They consistently choose the incorrect course of action, which is one of their errors. Only the fundamentals are required for buying and holding, and since the fundamentals are already understood, anything else shouldn't be an issue. Because there is always the urge to sell, you will be able to maintain it for a very long time. one of the market challenge is actually during the up and down if you are able to hold during that period.

Holding BTC for the long term is indeed a good strategy, as many people have proven successful investing in BTC thanks to their long-term holding power. However, many people have lost money investing or trading in BTC because they couldn't hold their BTC for the long term. So, holding BTC for the long term is a good strategy, as BTC is always making new ATHs.

So far, past ATHs are proof of historical performance that may or may not happen. But from several cycles I've gone through, I believe 98% of ATHs will come back. The problem is that the strength of holding isn't just about holding on. You need to know how to hold safely. Decide when to exit and set definite targets. The real challenge is mental because we need a lot of patience. Many temptations to sell will come. So basically, talking is easy, but doing it under the right and measured conditions is really hard to achieve.  IMO

In reality, holding btc for the long term is not easy, and many people fail to hold BTC long-term, even though they know that holding BTC long-term is very profitable. So, in this case, we must be able to control our emotions, because if we can't control our emotions, it will certainly make us fail to hold BTC long-term. And I think there are certainly quite a few people who regret selling BTC at a low price, like those who sold BTC in the past. Yes, holding BTC long-term is not easy, but we must certainly learn from the experiences of those who failed to hold BTC long-term so that we can hold BTC long-term and ultimately gain significant profits from investing in btc

As a beginner investing in BTC, I do find it challenging to hold BTC, especially when the price rises slightly. Sometimes I just want to sell and forget the experiences of those who failed to invest long-term in BTC. Currently, the low price of BTC seems like a better opportunity for long-term investment in BTC, right?

So, holding BTC for the long term is a good strategy, as BTC is always making new ATHs.

However, we must use money we can afford to lose or discretionary income to buy BTC. We definitely need an emergency fund to hold BTC for the long term.

Well said, HODling is actually one of the best strategies for investing, especially if one considering the long term. Though, some people give up due to the volatility of Bitcoin and this has been the major challenge of people not holding for a long-term. And that's why people are advised to ensure they invest money they can afford to lose and also have an emergency fund, as you stated. This way they won't panic or have to end their journey halfway if the market does not go as planned.

Holding is one of the simplest bitcoin strategies especially for someone who does not want to sit in front of charts every day. But I would not say you can completely forget about it, you still need to keep your bitcoin and recovery phrase secure and have that plan in place for what you want do in the future, because I have found the hardest part of holding is not buying bitcoin, it is watching the price fall and still having the discipline not to panic and sell what you have. Anyone can say they are a long term holder when the market is going up, but you will know who is a long term holder when the market starts falling heavily and they still stay calm instead of panic selling

If the sole objective is to generate profit, then HODLing is not the only way to do so, as there are other strategies that can be employed.
HODLing is better understood as a long-term investment goal focused on asset growth and increasing the value of one's portfolio allocation. It does not require the constant monitoring of short-term market fluctuations, as the primary objective is to maximize price appreciation over the course of the next market cycle.
To ensure the investment succeeds, we must consider how to store the Bitcoin securely. This ensures that, even over the long term, our assets remain safe and protected against issues such as hacking or other security breaches that have occurred in the past.

Holding might sound simple but not as simple as we think because it has its own challenges that's why many people fail to hold out as they've initially planned. Holding end up testing how patient we can be, how long we can hang on. If it's that easy everyone will be millionaires by now, we'll just create a plan, invest and hold and after some time we cash out. It's not easy to withstand the pressure when the price is dropping and it's only a few people that can withstand without panicking. There is the difference between being a long term holder on paper and having the mindset and actually pulling it off.

Absolutely. HODLing really is a very simple and also very effective long-term strategy because you just need to resist the urge to sell when prices drop and let time do its work. Even though it seems simple since you just buy and hold, in practice it’s really tough because this strategy works well only if you have strong mental fortitude and discipline. Also, wallet security is one of the factors for reaching your goals, like keeping your private key/seed phrase safe.

I mean, anyone can say the HODL strategy is very good, but if you don't have discipline and the right mindset it will be pointless. So to be able to follow a HODLer's strategy you need to stay calm even when you see the market in deep red. The strategy may seem simple, but executing it is very difficult without proper preparation. Besides that, I also want to add that having a strong mindset is important even if you're a small investor. Because with a small capital you can still get good returns if you're patient and disciplined, but don't expect to get rich quick, because to get maximum profits you need years of time.

This is a simple topic and is constantly being discussed in various topics. So it was not important to create a new topic on this topic. Even though everyone knows that it is not possible to get profit if you do not hold Bitcoin, the maximum investors are not able to do it successfully because of the greed for quick achievement. Those who know a little about Bitcoin and have recharged with Bitcoin at least once and know about the past of Bitcoin know very well that holding Bitcoin will never cause a loss. However, since the time of investment, maximum investors visit the market every day and keep counting profits and that is why they panic very quickly and sell Bitcoin and they regret it later.

No doubt when a person holding it means it was his/her investment and investments works against inflation and if some one holding bitcoin it is too good for him but just holding is not a perfect strategy like if i have to invest my money in bitcoin i will think about my entry price and taking profits in a strong rallies that is the simple rule because if i give the example of my cousin he invested his money in bitcoin when it was around 100k he saw his profits and didn't take any profit and now he is in loss no doubt bitcoin is a gem it will go to the moon again but more important is there are phases in a market so on correction buy the bitcoin and hodl and in strong rallies exit because maximizing the capital is also necessary.

I always say that one of the main reasons investors panic during a downturn or sell too quickly is the fear of losses. After all, the reason you buy is to make a profit, not to incur losses. Even if you’ve adopted a holding strategy, the temptation to sell will still be there, especially when you start accumulating with money that shouldn’t be used for that purpose (money meant for living expenses). Naturally, you’ll find yourself in a rather difficult situation, because investing in Bitcoin isn’t a short-term endeavor, it often takes years, especially if you bought at a high price and got caught in a downtrend that drops the value by tens of percent. In that case, you’ll need to be patient and wait for the next bull run. So it’s not just about strategy, money management rules are also crucial so you can invest with a calm heart and mind.

I will give an example directly from my own life why HODL bitcoin is the most acceptable strategy, and I want to say that when I was a trader, I was constantly very worried about what was happening with the price of bitcoin. And I brought myself to a state where, because of my nerves, all sorts of disorders began to manifest in my body, which caused me to be unable to sleep for a long time or to have obsessive thoughts. It also felt like a lump in my throat, and it was real. And when the doctors examined me, they said that it was solely due to nerves, and then I decided that I would accumulate bitcoin exclusively through the HODL and DCA strategies, and after that my nervousness went away, and my health returned to normal.

Those who think this way always remain in loss. First, we have separate funds and we are selling our assets, which in my opinion is a rejection of profit. If I had all this, I would definitely be patient and add this additional fund to my assets and get double the profit from it. I know it is easy to say, we have seen many people lose patience in this, but when there is a hunger for money and profit, patience becomes quite good. In fact, those who dream of their success being fulfilled in their dreams do not work hard and be patient in real life. Because in investment, we have to drink hard work, patience and fear so that the biggest difficulty does not become a burden for us. Although there is a lot of need, we can do it in small parts so that our assets remain intact.

I think you don't get the point. 
Please pay attention that we are discussing about an emergency! This means something must be fixed immediately. Once we are facing this condition, we no longer think about profits. The focus is having money to fix the emergency. Sure, the priority is using the reserved money or saving money firstly. But if it isn't enough, the realistic option is to sell assets. Well, some people may try to take a loan than selling assets. But I prefer to sell assets because I don't want to have another problem with loan money.

Investors who don't stress about holding Bitcoin are those who have dedicated capital to investing in Bitcoin, so they don't worry too much about their daily expenses. On the other hand, such investors also continue investing in Bitcoin because they have extra income to buy Bitcoin after meeting their basic needs, so it never disrupts their existing Bitcoin balance. However, for those whose income is still very limited, I think it will be difficult to hold Bitcoin long-term, even if they force themselves not to sell it in the near future when they suddenly need money.

Yes, that's a very valid point.

I actually think that just holding your savings in Bitcoin can't yield any profit whatsoever. But that's just my view, and it's because I measure my wealth in BTC rather than anything else.

However, if someone holds Bitcoin just to end up with more dollars, they will inevitably face a moment when they have fewer dollars than they did the day before or a year ago. For these people, an averaging strategy on the way out can be just as good as a DCA strategy on the way in. If you don't see any intrinsic value in Bitcoin, just sell 1% of your stack every month. I suppose that could be profitable.

Having an exit strategy is great but knowing when a rally has reached the point where it is favorable enough for you to now make an exit is not an easy thing to do at all.

If you sell too early you can easily miss a much more larger market move and if you try to wait for the perfect top, you may have to give back most of the gains; unrealized profit can disappear when the price falls.

Taking partial profits every now and then is reasonable , but for someone who has a long term conviction in Bitcoin, staying invested through the volatility is also a perfectly reasonable strategy to adopt.

Whatever strategy you wanna use should depend more on your investment horizon and goals rather than simply trying to time every market phase.

I agree with you, but those who generally store Bitcoin and think about more profit in a short time. In my opinion, this should not be done because the price of Bitcoin is not stable, like the dollar is stable. If you think that by investing in Bitcoin. You will strengthen your financial capacity, then I would say that this is the right decision in the long term.

HODLing is probably one of the simplest and least stressful investment strategies, especially when we are talking about long term.

Why it is less stresful? Because once you have your position, you don't need to constantly monitor the market or make decisions every day. Most of the time, you can simply forget about your holdings and let time do its thing.

Of course, hodling doesn't eliminate risk. You still need to be comfortable with the possibility of significant price drops and understand what you're holding. But compared with constantly trading in and out of the market, it can be a much simpler approach.

Bitcoin over the years keep rewarding long time HODLERS so this is to show that buying and holding bitcoin for long is the best strategy, of course volatility of bitcoin makes some persons to panic and sell there bitcoin holding when there is a major dip in the market but they forgot to realize that volatility is part of BTC investment, it's volatility that makes bitcoin to go dip and also increase in price, and because bitcoin is a volatile asset makes it not to guarantee us profit and when investing it should be invested with our discretionary income only.

Bitcoin never gives profit overnight, but if someone wants to take profit from Bitcoin, then the matter of holding is very important. It is not like you will make a profit just by holding but if someone can knowingly go towards long-term holding, then they will definitely be able to take profit. Profit can never be made by short-term holding, but if there is a long-term plan for holding, then profit can be taken.
