IMO, it's depend on how much % you are having loss tolerance.
For my case for example : I'm owning 0.5 btc since 2014 when the value still $ 299 /btc.
When bitcoin reach highest peak which was almost $ 20.000 / btc , I'm still holding it until it's continue decreasing until current value $ 5400++
I still hold it because I still believe it will bounce even higher !
Topic: Does holding really make us avoid losses? - page 4. (Read 837 times)
it's true because with us holding it is a better way to overcome when the market or coins are experiencing an ever-decreasing price, because so far there have been a lot of people experiencing a loss because they panic with the condition of the coins that they are pushing down
In my opinion holding is a pretty good thing, but it is also not fully able to avoid the risk of losing if the market situation gets worse, managing the coins that we have may be better to avoid losses for example by trading, or selling them when we need.
Every single person is diferrent each other, you can say that holding is worse, or just waste your time its not false with your statement. You know timing for trading is important too, better you try use demo account to learn about trading, you know that trading using real money, know about the risk, why you still doing trade.
I suggest you to exit from market and wirhdraw your own funds before this more worse.

Whenever coins prices fall, there are always many posts that suggest that we continue to hold and not sell.
But is this really helpful? In fact, losses have already occurred, and we cannot deceive ourselves with the reason of book losses instead of actual losses. This is simply a shit reason.
Indeed, if you hold coins and wait for a bull market, you may recover your losses，but this is uncertain, it is not necessarily happening.
More often, holding will only make things worse.

If you are holding it long term and cashing out when you already reach atleast 30-50% profit then there will be no loss. Bitcoin is one of the most trustworthy crypto investment in the crypto market. There's no doubt that if you are going to invest in bitcoin for long term then there will be no loss. This sounds vague and assuming but if you'll just consider the increased difficulty of mining every bitcoin halving and the law of supply and demand then we can really conclude that we can really avoid any losses. You just have to find the perfect timing to cash out. Don't be greedy and learn as well to set a goal of how many percentage of profits that you are trying to attain. Sometimes greed can make us lose. Just like what happened last year December, a lot of investors are still hoping that bitcoins value will still reach more than $30k but end up losing there supposedly profits.
not always holding coins will end happily, I guess you don't follow other people, follow your heart and your strategy, if you think coins are good and have good potential they can be a choice to hold. currently the market conditions are not like last year so don't take too much risk. if you already have a profit, it's better to sell it.

I have a lot of crypto and I keep holding it back
this does not guarantee that it will grow back especially for alt which is really bad and has no potential for long progress. we all know this is part of the risk.
so there's nothing I can do but wait and be patient until the market returns to normal.
If you buy at a high price, holding can be a way to save you. The bull market is sure to come, but it requires a process and also time, and therefore you are better off holding and patiently waiting for recovery.

It actually does, but in my own experience holding dont work at some point, road map of a certain campaign doesn't really work I lost the chance to obtain a huge amount of money which lead me regret holding. Yes indeed it was helpful not only for yourself but for the entire market since panic selling really do affect market price but holding must be foreseeable for you as asset not a liability ,a gain not a lose, what I am trying to say is hold for having a great potential that waiting is worth doing.
If you still trust and see a potential on bitcoin, holding and wating for the next rise means a lt. If you don't expect a progress on price of bitcoin, you may consider to sell. For bitcoin, we saw bad days in price but holding is always bring a profit in the history of bitcoin.

so? what will you do ?
I do not justify what you say, but the fact that it is true. We cannot avoid losses and this is a risk that we must face. I don't think there are many options for the current situation and only try to do the best
a lose is a lose what else?
sometimes it works, but it's not every time, we can see that when the price drop, there are only two possibilities, hold or sell. a hold will work when the price come back to high. and what probabilities about the bounce back to high? I think there are only small probabilities, but no one knows?
For me, holding coins if they got lower than my buying price helps me. Holding a coin depends on you, it can be long term or short term.
If you are thinking of long term then you need to hold to avoid losses but there is risk on it as always. Holding a coin sometimes make you lose more money because its price continuously go down. I'm just holding coins for mid to long term. Yeah at this moment, I'm at a loss but I don't want to sell it. I have the patience to hold it. I trust them

This depends o the coin one is holding. HODLing major cryptocurrencies can make a profit because when the price is done you did not sell to cut done your loss. But if the coin is, say a new ICO token the price might fall to zero and become a shit coin.
I agree. Holding may help to gain profit and save you for more losses especially when you are keeping potential coin. Cutting of losses won't give profit unlike holding that you can see worth for the time being. I used to hold by now and wait till it recovers the price on the market even how long it takes as long as I believe on it.
But does selling your coins at now help to recoup the losses? If your portfolio is in loss, the only way is to hold. But of course, you have to re-analysis the coins in your portfolio and decide whether you want to switch coins at this moment.
The price when you bought your coins is the key factor that could make you avoid/reduce the loss if such scenario happens again in the future. Holding might not always work but since you've invested what you can afford to lose why not take the risk instead of cutting your losses right ? It can make things worse but it won't be always like that if you have patience and experience in trading.
Basically crypto market goes to down much days before so now the main reason holding our coin for future profitable. Actually firstly you have to choice good ico coin then can you decide how much long time you need holding.i see many Exchange site have lot of failed coin I think it will never give you profit.so we need choice good ico then can hold I hope it will given more profit.
