Topic: Are we all fools on believing the word "HOLD"? - page 19. (Read 5735 times)
Maybe just one market cycle is not very good sample on how much money you can do by hodling. Naturally you would make more by selling and buying the swings but hodling has also worked for some of the old coins, no one can argue that.
Senseless on HODL topic here I think.
We need to invest on bitcoin and hodl for years this sentence might be everywhere in the market from the past few years and this can be over word of mouth.
People taking that as real and even cryptos also bumping and making it as real in the marketplace. So hoping it will be sensible all the time.

It's hard to give advice to you but, I think if you were able to overcome a bad 2018, you can continue to overcome 2019 and wait for a new bull market, and this time you should take profits.
Ideally you should keep them, for now if selling is an unwise option. We can pray by 2022-2023 maybe these cryptocurrencies can grow back to the value it once peaked. The global economic market has not yet collapsed so we should not pray that crypto can grow steadily.
I agree with you in 2022-2023 that's why hold is the best solution, if someone will add assets to the future at this time is good to buy not sell 
This is a lesson for everyone, including me, we cannot hodl coins in the long time, bitcoin price now movements are currently unstable make all altcoin prices will continue to fall. Different to 2017-2018 all the prices of altcoin are rising because the price of bitcoin is continuing to rise, making people buy altcoin without fear of bitcoin prices going down
Try to sell off some when the getting is good knowing you have got your money back and a small profit. You can be proud of yourself for that. Anything more then that is just bonus. Remeber even if you sell everything it doesn't mean you out. You can often sell everything only to buy back in at a much lower price and that is how you deal with a bear.

I agree with you in 2022-2023 that's why hold is the best solution, if someone will add assets to the future at this time is good to buy not sell This makes the community more panic when we all asking why the price dropped, when the price becomes stable, people are still complaining too when the price will go up why no action from the team, blah blah blah, sometimes our biggest enemy is our own self, for being impatient we are affecting others which can affect the whole market, so we should be always be patient if we truly believe in the project.
From your portfolio I was holding ATLANT for almost 2 years and after waiting so long I lost my faith in "HOLD" and sold ATLANT at minimal price. In my experience of word "HOLD" I must say only bluechip currencies are worth holding for long time. I was holding EOS for almost 8 months because EOS was dropped down right after the day I bought EOS but I hold EOS because I had faith because EOS is backed with highly sophisticated project and is listed on one of the best exchanges and finally EOS gave me good return.
From my experience I must say those cryptocurrencies which are backed with less sophisticated projects or those cryptocurrencies listed on small exchanges, they aren't worth holding for too long.

I started in this forum in year 2015 when altcoins are still a good investment and Binance is still not the most popular exchange in the market.
I trade with Poloniex most of the time, sometimes I trade with Bittrex but then I realize that I am not so profitable with trading since I cannot focus on it due to the reason that i have a day job to prioritize.
Therefore, I started to invest for long term and I was entice by how the market moves and I was so optimistic that long term could really change my life.
So to make the story short, I invested with different altcoins and have help it until now.
Now, when the bull run comes, I still couldn't sell right away as I was getting greedy thinking I could earn more when I still hold.
of course, who would not HODL when all your friends in the group chat are also doing the same, even if the price rise high already, they are still saying HODL, and I really do it, and just sell a small portion of my investment to reward myself temporarily was I was into a big goal with my remaining investment.
And then, the correction comes started in year 2018, and I still didn't panic, continue to hold and even accumulate a bit when I see price has really dump a lot, just imagine ETH drop 10 times, so its really cheap and really tempting for any investors. So here I am now, I am still holding at a big loss but at the same time I am still hopeful one day my dreams will come into reality.
So top 10 of my portfolio consist of the following based on my blockfolio.
1) Atlant
2) Edgeless
3) Centra
4) Humaniq
5) Matchpool
6) Lunyr
7) KIN
8.) FUEL
9) SONM
10)NPXS
Please tell me if I should still expect I will be profitable or just give up now already.
You can't hold all of this coin from 2015, you are interested in new coin because you know new coin is profitable than old coin. You should change some old coin and swap to new coin. If you are holding from 2015, I think you didn't lose anything even you earned a good experience.

I believe that hold already not quite relevant in our time. Only fundamental coins such as bitcoin can be hold. But here, too, it should be borne in mind that to get a good profit need a long time to wait.

Your stance is very strong, you have your own calculations and analysis so that if one day it will increase again, because even if it is sold now it will be very worthless. So being patient is the cure. You will get what you expect at bullrun. So it's better to just keep it up. Of the ten altcoins, it seems that the biggest hope lies with NPXS, the rest seems to have to tolerate whatever happens. And let's look for other opportunities to entertain yourself.

You took the risk four years ago, it will be only you who can best decide for the situation. And you took the risk of buying before so, why don't you take the risk of selling now? Many will say that you should have sold them last 2017, while others will say you have to wait for a while now. You might as well want to see 2020 first before you decide for yourself and own good.
That word HODL, has sent so many people into a life of abject poverty because the word doesn't go hand in hand with the word SELL. A lot of people buy into the idea of hodling without knowing when to sell when they hit profits or when they are running into a loss.
I do not believe in HOLD and will never trust it either. Anyway it's matter of mindset and choice. Hold favours some and doesn't favour some...I hold but not too long but some people holds for ages. If one sees a good promising project he or she can hold anyway.
Looking at the collection of Altcoins that you have and the context of your question, one phrase just jumped into my mind and it's "There is a time for everything". If this were to be 2017, those collection of coins you have would have been worth a lot because they had so much hype and the future looked bright and they would have increased so much in the altszn but unfortunately, this isn't the right time.... YET.
Anything is possible and what you need right now is a miracle, the kind of 2017 miracle, if it were to happen, your portymight look good once more and you could still real a lot of profit depending on how long the altszn lasts. But then again, if the altszn comes, the major alts like Ethereum would do much better than those coins so I would advice you give up on those alts and get into bitcoin or Ethereum.

we will see how the current market conditions and people are more focused on good new coins in the current year and the year to come.
Ideally you should keep them, for now if selling is an unwise option. We can pray by 2022-2023 maybe these cryptocurrencies can grow back to the value it once peaked. The global economic market has not yet collapsed so we should not pray that crypto can grow steadily.
I agree with you in 2022-2023 that's why hold is the best solution, if someone will add assets to the future at this time is good to buy not sell
