Hold is for someone who does not want to trade, and does not have much time to monitor prices. is it still profitable? if for the long term. I think it's still profitable. because I believe crypto will rise again high. and long-term investment is more relaxed and calm.

When exactly did you buy Bitcoin? At this time, Bitcoin is weakening, it's normal if you said that, but try to see the overall chart, how is it growing? Did Bitcoin fall thru the last year's support point? I always regret not buying Bitcoin at times like this when the price is weak and suddenly Bitcoin climbs and breaks the resistance of few months ago.

You must be bought Bitcoin when the price was rising few months ago, don't despair, Bitcoin will show its toughness again. I’d recommend you to study the market even further, read articles, news and journals or even the ICO’s whitepaper maybe it will bring profit to you.

I usually do this as a airdrops comes or somewhat I get some coins or tokens in a bounties from the ICO projects. This technique and tactic is very effective as if you were practically living here in the crypto industry. Since coins and tokens haven't any value yet then you must hodl, if it has a value hodl, and if has a chance to be a great coin hodl. This is the manner of hodling, waiting and waiting so if it increase you may now attack.

At the moment you have a potential loss. If you sell you will have a real loss. Market is going sideways with no direction so no guide to future price.

Hello, everyone, I was thinking if it is still profitable to hodl cryptos. Having lost by a huge margin 70% isn't this Hodl just not working. I seem to have finally had enough. What do you guys think?
I do hold before but with the ways things are going I have to change my investments' strategies.  The market may not recover soon and with the ways the market behave I think we have to play along.  The best ways to invest now and makes good profits is to buy the dip and sell the little pump along the way.

I do believe holdings. And we should really invest in btc because we have a lot of opportunities here to gain funds. And because btc is categorized as a decentralized virtual currency and is also known as the first real crypto. btc are generated as rewards through a process referred to as Mining where the users verify and record btc transactions into the ledger, the Blockchain.
The people successful in the recording are provided btc. Apart from this Bitcoins can also be generated by exchanging it for currencies, products or services. The impact of Bitcoins in the market landscape has been profound over the years and its role has been ever rising.

You should learn from experience at that time, with Crypto, no matter how much profit you get, sell it, choosing to be a holder or short-term trader is not a good thing, maybe for some good people, because they have the competence or skill to choose coins / tokens which has potential

As I see it, the current situation is quite detrimental for investors making money from buying and holding. Over the past few months the market has shown no signs of growth again so we can't be confident that btc or ETH will rise again in the future. At the moment, it is likely that short-term investments will yield better profit, albeit rather low.

holding is the best choice when you are stuck at a very expensive price because if you sell it at a very low price and are affected then I am sure you will lose, so you should hold it until the price can rise again.
really what you say, because now a very good time is to hold the market back. so to anticipate losses is to hold back
that is what should be done by traders, in trading and getting stuck in buying high prices, and suddenly the coin he bought has decreased, holding and waiting for the price increase to return above the new purchase price it is the right decision, and a trader will experience defeat, for example, will sell when the price drops.

what coin do you have in your wallet? if it is a coin from ICO it will really drops its price because of the dumping of bounty hunters second is that if you were holding bitcoins you can still have the assurance that the price will be better soon so keep holding a good coin like bitcoin.

The mindset must be right, if the short-term trading mindset is applied to long-term trading, this will make the current you, want to get instant profit, as well as the long-term trading applied to long-term trading, you will wait very long until you lost opportunities and profit margins smaller or even lost money.

If you have free funds and you have not invested the last savings in the crypto currency in the winter of 2017-2018, then it makes sense to continue to keep in hold.Someday, I hope that in the near future, the rates of bitcoin and altcoins will go up and hold justify itself.

Yeah I dont see any significance of selling our coins at this bear market and thus you have no option but to hold your coins anyway.  Wink

Plus we know very well that these coins are always popping up with the time and thus giving us nice and well profits all the time. The HODL period must be set very carefully because just holding wont be beneficial but making it sell at right points is also important.

But if you are holding things like eth, ripple, neo, eos, ltc, monero and other cool things, then just keep doing so, because if you sell everything for btc, you help increase its dominance, which is not a good thing for altcoins' market.

Lol. How is a decreasing altcoin market cap dominance good or bad for anything? It makes no sense. It's just a statistical metric that has no influence on individual coins you buy or sell into. Why would you care about altcoins anyway? If you believe in their fundamentals then you wouldn't be afraid of a decreasing dominance in market cap, but you are afraid it seems. Roll Eyes

If a coin has really something to offer it will manage to grow on its own, if not, it will remain stagnant for years and slowly be delisted from most exchanges. Don't focus on market cap dominance.

HODL works when you apply the different strategies of doing so. Nothing comes with ease but there has to be some movement done so that you can actually earn something from it. Over the time there comes lot of ups and down movement and you must take the opportunity to buy at right time and sell at right time and then keep hodling those coins. You are doing the right thing of holding if you do it this way. Remember when some one says the hodling then dont just HODL, better work for it, try to grow the coins value by compounding etc.

I lost a lot as well, but I selling now would be the most stupid decision ever. Now is the best time to buy. If the funds are low, we should at least just keep holding them. If you have some of them invested in not top cryptos, just sell everything for the coins you trust or, to minimize the risks, into bitcoin. Basically, we can see from the btc dominance on the market that this is what people are doing nowadays. But if you are holding things like eth, ripple, neo, eos, ltc, monero and other cool things, then just keep doing so, because if you sell everything for btc, you help increase its dominance, which is not a good thing for altcoins' market.

The truth is that, your portfolio has already lost huge amounts of money and if you sell now, you would take a huge  amount of loss. Its better to hold  and buy coins now that the prices are very low so as to average your cost.

In my opinion still holding is good if we say that bitcoin is the future so it means that we should follow the ways to earn through bitcoin and crypto and the market is moving to a good side like we see the small upward movement is the bitcoin price and still holding is my opinion for the crypto users and i hope that bitcoin will hit the record in the past.

Most of the people here are saying that HODL is the only key in order to earn or recover from lost, but soon you'll realize that it's not true you're going to see your assets decreasing from time to time while the market swings from up and down.

If you're really an investors and you have enough knowledge about cryptocurrencies you're not going to do a HODL at a time of bear market, you're going to go with the flow of the volatile market and will earn from swings rather than looking at your assets going down and down.

But in some cases HODL works but it may takes some time and you'll lost an opportunity to earn at swings.

In my opinion, it is ok to hold your coin now and wait till the market goes up again. Bitcoin is unpredictable and it is good now to buy or invest a coin while it is low.
Hold good coins so it will be worth it, always remember that shitcoins are not worth holding for. Holding means waiting for a long period of time so if you are planning to invest and just hold on your coin, you'd better to be sure.

holding is the best choice when you are stuck at a very expensive price because if you sell it at a very low price and are affected then I am sure you will lose, so you should hold it until the price can rise again.
Of course, don't sold your token at a loss price especially if you bought it during the peak. You have no choice I think but to hold.

Yes, it is. It's a normal thing that you lose 70% in some hodl coins we had because of their reactions in bitcoin's bearish trend. But bull run is coming as well as the altcoins, and hodling is our option to at least return the losses. Cut loss is now late and hodling is the last step we can do. Be positive even if i can feel the same as yours because i think i need more knowledge in trading. Let us do our own research to at least improve our skills.

Its profitable to hold. But the question is how long are you willing to hold?

My guesstimate is that at this trend, we should hold for more than a year. It is expected that this trend will continue up to 2019. So if you are a holder, you should look at 2019 as the best year you will see good profits. Everyone lost at this bearish trend, specially if you are a holder. But no need to sell everything, have patience and I'm sure that we all gonna see a good returns specially next year.

If you would be logical and practical at the same time, you would see that the loss of profit is just partial. Everyone are panic selling which makes the situation even worse. Also, it is just the market value which is on downtrend not the amount of tokens that youbare holding. Surely, once recovery happen, advantage will be to those who are holding at this moment. We have seen more than this before so we better be not afraid of the market situation.

People need to understand that you can easily do both hodling and short term trading at the same time. I'm not really a trader myself, but when I was, I allocated 10% of my total holdings to short term trading.

It allowed me to benefit from how volatile this market is, and for a short period of time it was profitable as well, but that changed completely during this bear market. I don't feel very comfortable trading this market, so I don't.

It's important to not underestimate how this market changed this year and how previous indicators that made sense back then don't make any sense right now. I would say that for the time being hodling is the only option.

Big no if you intend to hold for less than a year you won't see any profit but holding for two to five years as proven by bitcoins historical price will be a great time to hodl your crypto. Other than , trading is the best option if you don't have the patience to wait till longer years.

At the moment bitcoin is on stable value so IMO it require a momentum if you want to see the uptrend.
So what am I do ?
Just wait and hold because I still believe on it just like I did 4 years ago.
Let's take a look on the fact, bitcoin still on high value so the demand still high !

Hodling is such a pathetic word, most "hodler's" already sold on loss and trend will continue.
You need to have some kind of strategy as to how long you're willing to hold cryptos for & what price you're looking to get out at. Merely hodling is stupid.

To be in stagnation or to fall the market vseravno long will not be. Therefore, in general, the retention of coins and tokens will be even more profitable. However, given that the market will no longer be in a constant bullish trend, retention with periodic trade is the most optimal.
In addition, it is necessary to take into account that each coin or token has a stage of price growth and price stabilization. Any kind of crypto currency can not constantly grow in price. Therefore, periodically it will be necessary to change priorities and bet on young and promising coins.

It is how much time you will be spending before you want out.

We cannot foretell what could happen for we do not have the crystal ball. But I tell you, there is real profit in it.
Specially now, bitcoin and ethereum and other alts are in red marks. There is a high chance that it will be in bull market for a short period of time. You could sell at that point if you want to.

If you want greater profits better let it be for a year or more.

70% lost?What coins are you holding?Did you bought bitcoin at the December ATH?
Hodling cryptos is always profitable,but the important thing is to have more patience and never give up(watching the price going down is very frustrating).If you really bought bitcoins at the last year ATH,it would be wise to HODL them for atleast one year.Bitcoin will reach 20K sooner or later.

Today the hold word is very annoying to many. Because now the price of all the crypto market has decreased considerably. But, to hold, I think it's better to choose the best currency that those roadmaps are much better at a good daily buy & sell volume. Although the price of the currency has decreased a lot, the crypto market will be very green, the currency will be a lot of pumps.

Still and will always be profitable. Just depends on you whether if you will sell or patiently wait during this bearish days 'til the big spike comes. Remember that the value of your btc remains the same unless you convert it into fiat, that's the only time when you lose money. Just give btc more time to recover, maybe it will beat its ATH by the end of tbis year, who knows?

The bottomline, the profitability of your coin depends on your hands so always make the right choice. Good luck Smiley.

How long your holding? I believe not even one year, right?

You might have bought at the peak price. Bitcoin to reverse the trend it takes its own time and maybe even more than a year. If you can't hold and sell that means your booking your losses so if you don't want those funds urgently then just hold and you may recover back your losses.

I'm holding all my bitcoins and not selling at losses because I believe in cryptos.

At the moment when the panic reaches its apogee, there may be a cue ball and will unfold its trend and go up. Probably whales specially do so
Whales will pum cryptomarket again so for me, holding on right now can still be a good decision. The market will recover again, it can happen and we should believe on it. Your losses will become profit later on.

Everyone is at a different kever with different factors affecting their coins.
It depends on what you are holding, how much of it you have, when you
got it and what your outlook is.

If you got bitcoin at a higher value than it currently is you obviously
need to hold unkess you want to tyrn your back on crypto and never
look back. If you have a long term outlook tgen holding is what is
best.

I think that at this point you can only think of holding the bitcoin and altcoin trading, you can see that the market is in the bearish trend in the long term and so only a small bitcoin adjustment can also be The price of altcoin is very strong. So I believe that this time you should only short-term investment in altcoin. The market is volatile and difficult to predict so always have a specific trading plan.

I believe that at this point you should not hold, you can see that bitcoin prices are constantly fluctuating and adjusting very strongly, the market is in a bear market in the long term so to be able to trade successfully. It is very difficult, bitcoin prices can continue to decrease at any time and then you will greatly damage. Therefore, I believe you should only trade the date at this point.
