HODL'ers lose. That is no surprise

There is no universal rule here.
I have friend that bought at $1000 then price fell to $250 and it was like it for 3 years. When price come back to $1000 he sold to recover his money, soon after this, price went to $3000. He could triple his money if he would wait two more weeks after this 3 years Wink

FUD! FUD! FUD! That is what OP is spreading and for those who are giving any thought to this please don't yeah because bitcoin is not dead and it is so funny that a philosopher once said that the stock market is all about moving funds from the impatient to the patient once among us. don't be in haste to see bitcion rise or even the entire crypto market. But believe that it would finally rise and you need patience to earn from cryptocurrencies.

I say again HODL!

I'm holding bitcoin and I know that I lose but now what?? I will only lose if I sell my bitcoin lower than my buying price.

Only weak hands are the ones who lose at this moment and those holders will not lose. War is not over OP. There will be a time that Bitcoin will rise again. Maybe this year is the year for those who bought Bitcoins back in 2014 to sell their bitcoin and gain profit. I believe that in the long term, holders will prevail.

well you might end up having to "hodl" till end of your life, because its likely we are dealing with a market shift trend regarding what the world does support socially

Holders are not loser and i don't think so that surprise because most of them are well known about btc and they knew about it that nowadays as its downing after a short wile it must be go up and go his peak that's why people's are holding.

Of course all this emphasis on hodling is why people have lost vast sums of money. for example say you bought at 4k then you held at the price went up and up and up and you thought great. I'll continue to hold till the price reaches 100k. It didn't so now you won't even make any profit at all if you sell now. With stocks and shares you get dividend so it's worth holding sometimes if the stock goes down. But with Bitcoin there's no dividend so unless you sell you will nEver ever ever make a profit or make any money at all. This is where people are making a mistake.

Well, I see the opposite of this topic. Hodlers during bearish markets are the champions while sellers are the losers. When the market is down with lot of panic selling going on, holding your coins apparently incurs no loss until the holder sells. Hodlers who are patient enough always meet the bull market just as the early adopters of Bitcoin enjoyed the profits of the bull market in December, 2017.

blockchan is great but crypto is not a dead end, may be you have some bad experience, may be you jumped into crypto without educating yourself properly, may be driven by greed and lost some bucks - that don't change what crypto really is.

I think that bitcoin should be considered in the long term. He is still very young to give serious results in terms of investment, and in terms of implementation as a currency. Therefore, the strategy of waiting is what you need.

We might think that crypto isn't fully develop and still building its formula to be accepted by all merchants. It is not an easy task for the crypto developers, yet they struggles hardship in terms of spreading into the community. People won't easily trust crypto cause it haven't fully accepted coin in the market.

I was watching one of the crypto youtubers and they had a picture of a hodl and a sodl.
The sodl had a nice car while the hodl had a cheap one.

Never heard of the term sodl before seeing that picture.
So it is all relative to the time when you did sell or buy your crypto.

It's great to see that car, but what if you sodl in 2015 bear market? You'd have to spend 50 Bitcoins to buy an average sports car. 2 years later you'd still have that car, much older and worth much less, and a hodler would have coins worth almost a million dollars, able to buy him a nice house and a better car than you have.
I say HODL!

And yet, I still see no reason to be disappointed in bitcoin. Now he is experiencing a strong shock in the form of such a large-scale fall, and no one knows how long the price will recover. But you can't stop believing in him. Our long-term investment (hodl) will be justified.

I just hope with all my heart that you're wrong. There is no reason to kill bitcoin or not believe in it. We must develop and support it. This technology can significantly improve our world, and most importantly - to simplify our daily lives.

You say that because indeed the current decline in bitcoin prices is becoming a reality, and the price trend continues to fall, but in my opinion it's only a choice because everyone has their own ingredients, you mean well by reminding others about the decline in bitcoin prices. I just followed my heart

Hodlers are not loosers, they hodl not because of profit and loss but because they believe in the bitcoin ideology which is what matters. Bitcoin maybe down in price but sure in future we will see it rise. It is just a matter of time

"I told you so" comes to mind.

I warned everyone in here again and again in the beginning of 2018.

Get out of Bitcoin as fast as you can to limit your losses.

Everytime so-called "experts" and "investors" in here said to HODL. Bitcoin would soon go to the moon.

Only the most blind and stupid still believe Bitcoin will ever recover.

The sooner you get out, the smaller your loss. If you wait, you can be sure the loss will be even bigger.

Blockchain technology has a great future, but cryptocurrencies - any crypto - are a dead end.

When it comes to investing Holding is not a good way to tell other people to do here because they might end up losing it all. They should try practicing on how to cut their losses.

Be the reason someone smiles today

On long-term (3-5 years) nobody knows what will happen. You cannot know fir sure that hold-ers will win or lose imo.

I'm keeping a small amount of bitcoin on the off chance that it does go up. And I do have a little faith in it seeing as it still seems like a great concept. However, looking at the facts without any emotion involved, it does look like a pretty bad situation - very little positive activity with bitcoin now and has been that way for quite some time.
