For me its not appropriate to call it a victim because for me hodl means waiting if you want big profit just hodl then sell it in the right time.

Well if you wish to get nothing out of your money then better hold until nothing left and congratulations on holding your crypto.

Haha, what are you doing here?

No one here is a victim of the word HOLD, rather we're victim of the word HODL. And yeah, it might be a disease. You're right, the opposite of the phrase "you can't win what you don't put in the middle" is "if you don't sell, you haven't gained anything."

We need to remember to sell off something to consider ourselves "winners" in this game called crypto.

Oh yes because I love holding m6 coins I have bought. In cryptocurrency,  to make more money,  the best strategy you need to take is to hold your crypto for a very long time.  With that,  you can benefit from it.
holding coins for a long period of time still have high risk you dont what will happen in a day. What if the coins your holding turned into scam coins, and you still holding them and dont what to sell any of them cause you knew it will recover but unfortunately it is already over. So you lose, so still better to sell them while they have price.

HODL
A term and ideology that put many people in the abyss of this bear market with portfolio nothing to write home about.
Get a trading strategy that works for you, keep to it and you'll be good.
Never say never in this game.

People are only victims of their own poor trading skills. Regarding the term hold, if applied to bitcoin I cannot see anyone being a victim in the long run. However regarding ALTS, then holding is not always the best advice. I try to do as much research as possible, but in the end i go with my gut and if i like a project enough to believe in, then I'll hold till the bitter end.  Kiss

You are right that not all altcoins need to be kept in the long run. But you understand. that there are fundamental altcoins that will 100% grow like bitcoin in the near future.

you shouldn't hold if you have significant amount in bitcoin that can destabilize your financial standing
you should take/cut loss and do smart trading, keep holding would just hurt your cash flow
only hodl if you use your cold money to buy bitcoin for long term investment
as long as it doesn't affect your daily financial needs, you can hodl till you need to cash out

We just hold because we are alarmed with the capabilities of the coin we are holding.  We are not a victim because it depends on the knowledge of one who are holding a coin. It depends if you knew and trust that it will go high sooner, then why not just hold it? For me, although it's challenging, holding the coin you trusted could make a bigger income in your future and could never be your biggest regret.

I'm a holder and I'd like to hold until I'll see the price that I'm willing to sell at any time. This is a speculative market so there's nothing wrong with it.

Well if you wish to get nothing out of your money then better hold until nothing left and congratulations on holding your crypto.
Good luck to you as well if you sees that holding will bring us to that.

Idiots buy crypto when it's peaking and can't recognize a bear market when it hits them. It's funny that people are holding for months and finally when the price is at its lowest point they start panicking and selling. They write their sad stories down on forums hoping that people will understand and say that they also sold and lost money and bitcoin is to blame. Sorry OP but you are to blame.
Never buy when price is going up exponentially.
Never sell when is down more than 70%

You are just depressed and misunderstand word HODL. It means get through period between bubbles to sell on next bubble.
It takes YEARS man, its not easy, it can be 4-8 years from now. Most people cant last even one third of this time for various reasons.

Good luck and keep HODLING the real HODL.

buy coins gradually. For example, buy 40% of the capital owned at the entry point. Buy more when prices fall (dips), so the price will remain high.
Don't panic! Prices may go down, but if the majority of buyers don't sell their coins, prices will rise again.
Hold coins (HOLD) and keep prices high, then new traders enter. Green candle becomes large = Coin price gradually rises = Benefits appear for everyone.
Make a small number of transactions to take a higher volume (BUY). Example: buy some at the price of the offer, and sell with a net, and repeat this with very low (or no profit) profits to make volume, and attract other traders

I think I kind of get what you're saying, but I feel like you're confusing holding and hoarding.

The reason why people hold is because they know that Bitcoin hasn't reached its peak value yet. At some point, once people feel that they can get fair value out of their coins, people will stop holding and start spending. Meanwhile, different people have different moons. You can see people dumping on reddit to be debt free, to buy a home, etc.

I get why certain people would be upset by HODLers because it goes against Bitcoin's utility and all, but we should all really just try to coexist. Even HODLers spend every now and then, and they certainly buy more coins every now and then.

I am a HODLer but am not a victim of the word HOLD because one thing I have learnt from experience is that You only become a victim when you hold just
any coin. If you hold coin like bitcoin, ETH, NEO, etc... forget how the market is shaking, just relax and when it booms, you will be smiling.

Trading is good if you are good.
You might say why not sell and buy low, but what happens if you sell, set order to buy low, and wake up to discover that instead of going low, price has skyrocket to the moon?
If you Trade, Hold some.
If you Hold, Hold potential coin/token (dont hold just any coin)

Perhaps some people don't have any choice for now except to hold there btc in situation like this. If they will have to sell at this very moment, then a lot of money would lose on their investment for instance they had bought btc higher that the actual price. There is no point in selling as bitcoin will continue to survive and will make a recovery one day and the best way I think is to continue to hold no matter what it takes. BTC will survive such crisis in the coming months.

I am a victim, but I don't regret having been HODL of my assets to this day. I am a victim, because I have made my money reduce by a few percent, I have regreted before just be honest, but I will not pass away in regret. There are still many opportunities to make bitcoin prices, I guess ETF will be accepted by the SEC and make prices rise.

yeah i am holding and seeing that there is nothing to worry about holding crypto for now even if market price falls down because i do not afraid on fluctuations. I do believe that bitcoin will going to recover one day but not for now. It could take some time it may be a week, a month, or even years.

Yes, i guilty admit it but do sometimes holding it makes it a lot more lesser value as of this moment but still i do believed that i am in a right way of holding my ground and to my crypto portfolio as well. Dumpers will always be the reasons why tokens are getting smaller value from time to time but i do believe that always stronger hands will always be victorious by the end of the day.

I guess you are a victim of your own stupidity! There's no one to blame but yourself! If someone told you to hold your coins, you have a choice you will do it or not. Do not blame others because they told you. Blame yourself because you followed the wrong choice.

Maybe most of the investors now are getting worried especially the new comers for the word that is always being emphasized by the members on this forum which is to hold the crypto. Now seeing too much hold made a way to some loses of money wherein market price for crypto now falls drastically and i do not know when it could recover.

No, I don't consider it being a victim by holding your btc. I consider it as a strategy not to loose my investment and that is how important in holding is especially if you have a bigger btc investment. I believe that the best strategy is to hold more or go for a long term investment and you will be sure you would not regret such decision.

in my opinion, HODL is only for large coins with large volumes and is ready to bounce
HODL is very risky on a small volume of coins, even worse, never do a HODL on an ERC20 token
my experience, ERC20 token has never experienced reflection, so once it drops, the price will remain below

When it comes to holding altcoins, I would say yes. I am a victim of it because I have coins that are valuable before and because I believe in just holding it when the price continues to go down, many of them are already worthless and some projects were already abandoned that's why there is no hope for it to go up unless pumped. Learned my lesson this way that's why nowadays, I would just sell my coin when it reach a point of certain loss and buy back later on. It's better to sell earlier because when the value of my coin lost half of it, it needs to recover 100%.

I think if you picked high quality projects HOLDing is a fine strategy.  Of course you need to sell if you get up huge.  But holding is a good idea as long as you have a exit plan and a solid project.  Going on an emotional trading frenzy to regain your losses is a much worse victim to be.

I believe you are right that hodling is a fine strategy to do if you believe you picked a high quality project. There's no doubt that if the project is high quality the value of it's token will rise after several months. Anyway still good trading skills is the best strategy of all. Enhance your trading skills so you won't be a victim.

I don't believe you are a victim if you do your own due diligence and make a rational decision in your investing. Some people may have medical bills or other emergency expenses, and others only have a small fraction of their wealth in cryptocurrencies and thus the volatility is not the least bit worrisome. I believe in holding long term.

What if cryptocurrency woulf not be approved by etf? you know thatvit could affect the bitcoin market pricr and probably it could drop for more. I suggest to trade for now anf invest again later when market price starts to recover.
