In one year, most of Bitcoin's rally usually occurred within a few days. Therefore, the "Hold Bitcoin" strategy is still considered the best, according to Binance Research.

In fact, in one year, the pump for Bitcoin only happened in a few short days, and most of the rest was sideway. Therefore, it is easy for investors to miss the pump if they are not regularly watching the market.

According to the recently published data, since 2013, the annual growth performance of Bitcoin only occurred in about 10 days, which means that each year we will have 10 days that Bitcoin actually increases aka "pump". After this 10 days, Bitcoin will go sideway and the growth performance may decrease by 25%.

Therefore, the actual pump of Bitcoin is very short, it is only a blink of an eye compared to the rest (sideway or decline).

However, there are also many ideas that "not every Hold is the best". If a person held bitcoin before December 2017 until now, they would still lose more than 50%.

If you are an investor who does not have much time to observe the market, nor know the analysis of charts, then the Hold option is the best for you.

And for investors who like to "trade", certainly Hold is not their choice, because the short-term waves are the time when they make the best profit.

How about you? Are you holding Bitcoin

I used to do a lot of trading but i have become a HODLer for a couple of reasons:

1) The new tax laws in America make it very complicated to keep track of every trade. Plus many exchanges no longer allow American customers on their main exchanges.

2) Trading takes a lot of work and it doesn’t seem to pay off unless you are very good at reading charts and can control your emotions during volatility.

Even if I was day trading, I was still holding Bitcoin in behind. It's better that I just used the funds that weren't gonna drive me crazy when they disappear or be a loss for me one day. Although I was getting losses continuously due to my negligence on how trading works,  I still recover them back by earning from what I was hodling before I day trade. It kinda sucks that it might be a breakeven sometimes.

If you are willing to wait 10 years that means you will do good, if you want to get out after 5 months that means you should not even get in.
That doesn't make much sense. In 10 years the price can be much lower than what it is today, and if that turns out to be the case, you wasted a whole decade waiting for the price to go up a lot so you can live a comfortable life.

If you invested in Bitcoin earlier this year and held for 5 months, you did extremely well. This just shows that you have to make a rational decision based on the technicals rather than the fundamentals.

Fundamentally, Bitcoin is much stronger today than it was in 2017 when it peaked at $20k, but the price is ~60% lower today....

People should realize that bitcoin will never be in the "perfect price" ever again for you to get in, it will never be x price and as soon as you buy become 100x, those days are long gone and it will never be that quick and that high.

Right now, if it goes to 20 thousand dollars which is literally the all time high it will be making around 2x-3x increase in total and that won't make you forget all your life troubles type of money, no money that you can only double could change your life bigger than you think unless you go all-in and have it quickly. Long story short if you want to hold bitcoin you should know that you are in it for long, not short quick get rich quick scheme type of deals.

If you are willing to wait 10 years that means you will do good, if you want to get out after 5 months that means you should not even get in.

Bitcoin is and always will be the gold standard of cryptocurrencies.
No matter how close other altcoins ever come in terms of market value or other features.
BTC will always stick to the first position.

I used to think that ETH might surpass BTC and it got really close at the start of 2018 but I guess it was just a huge pump.

I have a little less than half holdings in BTC and the rest is divided in ETH, XMR and LTC.
So yes, I'm holding BTC and I'll keep HODL it for the foreseeable future.
I agree with you mate. Bitcoin is the backbone of digital coin market and nothing can takes it place. It was, is and will remain the king of crypto currencies. The possibility of altcoins reaching bitcoin’s worth is less than one percent. Just look at the difference in values of bitcoin and ethereum, which is king of altcoins. Ethereum is a good choice but cannot compete bitcoin at all in terms of profits.

I'm holding Bitcoin no matter what the market situation is. Looking back at the history of Bitcoin, we could notice that Bitcoin could boom in a short period of time and that's what most investors are waiting for. It's best to wait for the bull market to approach. If we are not full time traders, we could hold until we reach the best time for us to sell. Day traders could sell and buy again especially if they got all their time to observe the price movement.

Small example for 1 day ago when bitcoin was reduced by around $ 300, I had to quickly convert it to tether and cancel all orders. In this case I also hold bitcoin flexibly with an effort to suppress the total assets so as not to fall, but this is temporary until finally I buy bitcoin 1 level less in the current support area, I still position bitcoin in a long-term condition.

If you already have tether, you can buy more bitcoin if the price still going down because that will be the best time for you to buy bitcoin. I think this situation will be like this for this week because I don't see that bitcoin price will be back to the higher price unless there is good news that is happening, so that will make the price get a pump. But if you prefer to hold the other bitcoin you have, you should be careful because we don't know if bitcoin will be increased soon or it will go down for more.

We are all bitcoiner thats why majority here are holding bitcoin for sure, Im saving my btc per week based on my weekly income like for example $5/week I sent into my secret bitcoin wallet for holding for a long term unknown to any of my family members including my wife, I definitely believe that holding any amount of bitcoin is a good investment choice rather than saving it to bank.  
That's good to keep investing your spare money to bitcoin instead of putting it in the bank or overspend it with vices. Holding bitcoin is like
gambling with your fate with your good knowledge regarding to this industry. The only question here is how will you plan the future success
of your investment, it's all about making the right decision and stand with your own understanding.

It depends on our strategy, some investors prefer to trade actively because they think it is more profitable rather than holding it. But for me I am much comfortable to hold my bitcoin, less headaches and you dont have to monitor the market often.

Its been a year since I chose to hold bitcoin for long period but I take profit at times if I see the price increasing though I have a set target price on when to sell.

Holding is still profitable as long as you believe in btc and you know in time it will be worth it.

I do hold a few dollars worth of Bitcoin. Price volatility doesn't bother me as much because I'm aiming for long-term gains, and still quite positive about Bitcoin's halving. Those who have hold when 2017 are really not that wise because you must not buy on highs but rather on lows. But it's understandable since we're all just speculating while trading/holding and mistakes do happen quite a lot.

Hey! I definitely believe that HODLing is a good strategy, and it's one that I use a lot - particularly when it comes to Bitcoin. However, I do have other coins in my portfolio that I do some short term trading with, generally on a marketplace like  Vertex where I can get the best offers. I think you're right, if you don't have a lot of time on your hands, HODLing is probably the best option.

Who in the bitcoin world wouldn't hold bitcoin? I mean it is definitely the best currency I have ever seen and anyone who is here just because they want to "make money" is both in the right place and in the very wrong place. Normally, it is the right place because you can get the best currency ever and you will be "making money" in the sense that your bitcoins will always worth more than the dollars because dollar loses its value in inflation but bitcoin will always keep its valuation.

Hence in the end, anyone who doesn't hold bitcoin will be losing money, even if they "profit" if they are not profiting more than the inflation they are basically losing money and remember inflation is ALWAYS faked for it to be low because in real life inflation is MUCH worse than what it is shown to people.

Holding Bitcoin is still the best deal if you are looking to make long term profits. Many of my friends are in loss because they invested in altcoins but few who held bitcoins are still in profit. I will prefer to keep my portfolio in bitcoin for long term and buy altcoins only for short term duration.

As a bitcoin holder, managing your assets will lead you to hold it for a long period of time as well as making profit. Just learn the basics and fundamentals of trading bitcoin and how to proper use it.

Altcoins are from the name itself alternative, if you are not confident enough for your lost, that's the time that you should use these altcoins like ETH and etc.

Always choose bitcoin because many researchers and experienced people are there to guide you for a successful journey in cryptocurrency world.

I hold bitcoins to sell higher prices in the future. I don't like playing daily trading in Bitcoin except for Altcoins.Bear Bitcoins I am very sure will benefit the future.

Yeah i agree with bitcoin with future investment because the potential of bitcoin is already seen by many people but just the people are not courage enough to trust what they see, but for trading i prefer altcoins because the movement is more agile and more profitable if we know the movement will be in which direction.

I'm also in a long term holding of btc because i know bitcoin price will pump even more in the days to come. With altcoins, i don't usually hold it for long term because they are good only for day trading as they can give us minimal profits whenever the market is stable.

Holding at short terms is suggested when you have enough capital with huge quantities. There's always a good chance to have more profit when the price will bounce at increasing value, so we can sell our coins to earn returns. Holding btc for a long period of time, could gain much higher profit at 100% compared with short term.

Yes of course i am holding small amount of money in the form of btc investment as it is most profitable coin in the market and in the future the rally will push the prices to ATH and prices will be high to invest at that momemt.Being optimistic about its growth i beleive you should invest now at gain profits in long term when prices will cross $50k and reach new heights after adoptions at global level.So you should also hodl your coins.
Bitcoin always dominates in all of our investments and investors hold between 70% and 90% so I believe Bitcoin will always be the most concerned coin during this time. There are currently no reliable predictions during this time but the likelihood of reaching $12,000 in the next few months will be very high. Of course it depends a lot on this market and hopefully everything will go smoothly.

In my opinion, end of December will be an important time for everyone and consider investing if you think it is a good price to make a profit.
