HODLing isn't really an assurance that you would not lose your money even if you haven't sold it. Because when the time will come that you really need that money and you want to cash it out but the price depreciates instead of price increase like what you expected, so when you cash it out, the money you invested did depreciate thus you made a wrong decision of HODLing for a period of time but still didn't have profit out of it. That's the downside of trying to be a long-time trader where you just HODL it out, unlike being a Daily Trader where you really check the price each hour or each day and trying to make profit out of price variations through the certain time. Goodluck and invest wisely, everyone!
The scenario that you're presenting can be easily avoided by not investing more than what you can afford to lose, that is a very common mistake as well, people invest too much money in bitcoin and then for some reason they need that money back and they have no option but to sell at whatever price bitcoin is currently trading, if they are lucky they earn money but if they are not they will sell for a loss.

Some say bitcoin the most risky and unpredictable investment of all and yet many are still investing in it, isn't quite interesting? it only mean that bitcoin really capture many heart and they are willing to do whatever it takes...so in order not to lose all investment or whatever they earn on bitcoin.. may it be bounty or airdrop...hold it for a couple of months and see what it can do to you.
A lot of people are afraid to try to invest their money in bitcoin because they are always believing and hiding to their emotion that they don't want to the risky part of bitcoin because it is high compare to the other investment that you can try but they didn't know that bitcoin is less riskier than they think because bitcoin is always moving up through the years and the downs for bitcoin is just temporary so they will still win at the end of the day.

of course we not lose our money if we keep hold. only the value of our investment is reduced, and if it is sold then our money will also be lost. we buy crypto for such a price, and the value then goes down, we lose our money from the purchase price, but if we hold it will not matter. we have to wait again to return our money from the purchase price, and expect a profit if niali can rise higher again.

That's depend on what coin you are holding. If you are holding the valuable coins like ethereum, bitcoins, Neo and other coins with values, then its worth the hold especially when the market pumps. But if you are holding coins with no brighter future, better sell them for the good ones.

Bitcoin still has a high probability of going to $ 3000-4000. Positive news does not win back, but there are too many of them in the media. Whales do not want to go up, zachit bitcoin will go down.
The main issue for us, small Holders, whether we can make money on the fall. Or you just have to sit and wait, or a small part of the deposit to trade on the exchange by betting on shorts.

Yes, Ive just read a post telling that bitcoin felt from $4000 to $3500 and this is so bad, what to do. Hold, it was almost $10000 scince that time.

By the word itself, if you do not sell it, you have no loss, even the value of your investment is very low, technically you do not suffer losses yet until you sold it, but for sure, you will hold it until the price goes up again.

It is easy to say or read to just HODL your coins but the fact is that when your portfolio falls, it is very hard to bear. But one cant do nothing as this volatility cannot be controlled and one should bear it and survive it.
i do agree with you and it could be the hardest part for all the hodlers.
If this comes to me I just try to remember what a good friend always tells me. "No matter what happens you will still have the same number of bitcoin".
If you sell it then can you get it back? What if a sudden rise came. You cannot go back after that.
You wont be buying at a larger price. That is considered as loss too.
With that, I can clear my mind with doubts.

Yes, I totally agree, if you sel, then bitcoin will rise, and you will regret that you have sold it earlier. many say now about this.

You're not actually losing your money at all when you're hodling your bitcoin and other crypto assets. You are just brave enough to hodl it in times of crisis and patiently waiting for the price to go back high again. Hodling is an art and technique for crypto traders that always gives a better result in the end.

Hodling is the safest way to go when the market is correcting itself, if a person sells his bag during the correction phase then he'll just regret it after the correction gets over and the market reaches new height. All i (along with most of the members in this forum) can suggest is to hold on to your bags.

Yes, I'll hold it even bitcoin needs to reach the end of the year just to spike again. The movements of its price is doing good so far so I'm wishing that it will continue until it goes back to $20k again.
Everyone is quite confident that bitcoin will hit it's previous all time high again by the end of the year . The more enthusiastic people such as myself have re invested in bitcoin when it has dropped in the past few months and we are already getting our profit .
Bitcoin will have been from 2018's beginning in a dip and it's time for it to go up again and get into that bull run , in fact , all the market will go into a bull run and anyone who managed to hold his assets and not sell at a loosing price will be very happy about such decision .

There is always a time where you need to hold your coin and read different positive news in order to boost up your confidence because most of the traders are losing their investment because of panic selling.
now talking abouut this time i think holding is the good choiccee beccause " the fruit of patience is sweet" i think bitcoin is for long term investment and in future thee prrice will be very good.

I would add one more important investor rule, in the fairness of which I have recently been convinced. You can risk only the money that you can afford to lose.
