I missed some information from altcoin that I hold, point number 4 I always miss when I have a lot of work and ignore some important information.
But in some cases, I have altcoin which has a real product and to date, I have held it for a long time according to the road map they provide on the website.

if the project clearly follows its roadmap for a long time then this is a very good sign for you. this project can bring you a very big profit when the altcoin season will come

Note: This is not about how to identify good coins to HODL
This is about how you can be a good long term holder

1. You must have another source of income
Either in crypto space or outside crypto space you must have other source of income,there was a time when i used to rely on coins i hold for monthly income but most time they failed me because some altcoins takes more than a month to add value. You can learn trading or find a better job to get constant income for your daily needs.

2. Not all altcoins are good for long term holding
Some altcoins are too weak to have better value overtime,these coins only add value to price once in a blue moon,WHY?because the power of demand is too low and they have no working product,i belief that working product is what makes a coin have many more investors

3.HODL Only Altcoins With Real Use Case
There are different categories of coins with use cases,many use case are weak use case,for example using fashion designer to back a token is a weak use case to me because it means you can only use the token to buy the designer wears and many will call this a real use case? no it wont do very well.
Make sure that the real use case of every altcoins you hold will be very reasonable,the products backing them up must be something that is different and will catch the eye of investors,the usefulness must be outstanding .

4. Stay Updated Always
Opportunity comes but once as many know it,so always stay updated about crypto,read crypto news online and keep tracks on your altcoins so that you wont miss future updated or even token swaps,some altcoins i hold have already switched to MainNet and im glad i dont missed the opportunity,you can use blockfolio app to track your altcoins.

Altcoin season is what many are waiting for,even new projects are waiting for altcoin season to return before they get listed on exchanges,im sure of one thing and that is good things dont come easily,today is bitcoin turn to reign and one day altcoins will have its day as well.

Pretty much a great post for newbies like us. Dear I wish you all the best. And as well as new ones, I would like to say. That is because of your own money and lazy money that will not hurt you if you lose your money. If you invest then the chances of cheating will be much lower.So always invest carefully.

altcoin will always be decreased and increased. there will always be a decrease and increase over time create a unique crypto trading gains and losses for altcoin indeed follow bitcoin until now. altcoin enough to survive when XRP prices are falling not too strong when the price of Bitcoin below.

Did you trust with ripple altcoin although have lower price today/ I have wait for holding ripple more than two year where invest with ripple on higher price, I have closed my account and never looking anymore with ripple coin price because always sadness got ripple have very cheap price. Although ripple have good rank on coinmarketcap but price of ripple still down and many investor lost their investing in ripple coin.

All of your points are not possible if you do not have the means to support yourself while holding all these coins, people are selling their coins because, of emergency, in my experience, I always lose all the good coins that I want to HODL because of personal needs and emergency, so it's important that you have the means to support yourself and your family.

To prepare for longterm hodl base to what I do is if you have a chance to buy that potential coin grab that opportunity to buy, then hodl it until you see a gain profit. Always observe the market so you know what is the best to buy now and if your hodling coin gain a profit. No exact time when bulls to come so always be observe the market so you not missed anything especially if you hodl potential coins.

I think, if we want to invest for the long term, what needs to be prepared is research and mentality. With research, we can find good projects and are fully supported by a solid developer team. With a strong mentality, we must be able to be patient when prices move quickly and not easily panic when coin prices fall

based on what I do, just young.
I have $ 100, and I buy coins on the market whose prices are down or the graph is red. see the history of the highest prices too, then I confidently bought it then hodl for the long term. don't think too much if you want to be long-term, look at the price that's going down. unless you want daily trading, you have to be more thorough.

I agree from the points you have mentioned above, especially with points 2 and 4. that not all altcoin is good for the long term, you must be more selective before investing in any altcoin especially in many cases altcoin has lost its value. so I think if you are a wise investor, you can certainly reconsider before investing in altcoin and also always update every portfolio you have.

Bitcoin has survived for more than a decade, because it represents an idea. It is not the best coin out there in terms of technology, and neither does it represent the most secure cryptocurrency among the thousands of different coins. And the scene is constantly changing, with new coins and tokens being listed every day. Under such circumstances, I don't expect an altcoin to maintain its peak acceptability and user base for more than 2-3 years. Sooner or later, it will be replaced by a technologically superior alternative. So you need to keep that in mind before deciding for long-term holding.

The question is will you be able to keep holding after several months of holding? even when your coin keeps losing value? how determined are you? because holding is not for every one, you have to deal with it both physically and mentally

you said its not about good coins but its how you hodl but why you have a 4 reasons ? the two of your reasons are about picking a good coin which is against on your first sentence . its not really about hodling alone because no matter how good you are at hodling but if you only pick a bad coin , i dont think youl be sucesful of earning a profit but the other two of your reasons are okay and i agree on them .

Here the problem is picking the right coin for long term hold. Not every coin profit good in the long term, analyzing better we need to pick the right ones. In such a way second point is very important. Initially he has stated the indirect warning you can't expect results as one wish, so having a job secure the life. In the third point it is also about choosing of the coin, finally the continued observation is a must to make changes to the holding if something isn't working as scheduled.

What I do, of course, is to select coins or tokens that have a bright future because of the real use case. Of course, saving bitcoin is mandatory for me.
I buy altcoin with the money I get from airdrop or bounty, so if there is a loss it doesn't matter because the money I use is free money or prizes. For the necessities of life, I can still rely on my monthly salary. As the OP said, keep updating with the altcoin that I chose so as not to miss selling if at any time a case occurs.

Hodling is not an easy process. It will be wiser indeed to find additional jobs to have income. Long term investments are difficult to maintain especially if you are easily swayed by the fluctuations in the market. It is a strength not to be discouraged by different factors and impulses caused by the pressure in the community and in te market.

You need to have a strong will in long term investments. If you cannot separate your emotions to the job, you will most likely not last in this industry. It is tough to stay in track when there are a lot of rumors running around an tries to discourage you. But it also important to keep in mind that not all investments will suceed though it will depend on how strong the coin is.

Looking at market conditions now I only make the top rank for long-term hold, most projects die and scam because of many factors so that for long-term security, holding only top rank coins is the best solution.

Stop looking for that altcoin season, there will be no altcoin season for this year for some obvious reasons.
If you are only depending to crypto, you need to start looking for some other source of income that you should rely on.
Don't stick yourself with one source if you think you can't survive this probable long bear market for alts.

A very nice ideas. If you want to survive never to relied with single option that locks you up it's always best to have alternatives. The market is volatile and there's no certain time to accurately predict what or when the market will favorable to your position.

If there's other way to get more fundings where you can add up to your investment it will extend your survival to this market.

It should be done by everyone. Because I've seen problems like that and they were all problematic about their survival in crypto market.
All they depend on is with bounties and after seeing that it's starting to drop in legitimacy, they all think if it's possible to up.
The solution is very simple, add another source with crypto or not related.

This is a great list BUT...

When long term holding, I'd like to think that you don't "always" need to stay updated about crypto. I'd actually think that I am long term holding exactly for the OPPOSITE reason which is because I don't want to need to be constantly updated with crypto news and shenanigans.

You will need to at least stay updated on your own coins. For example, if a coin swap happened due to a chain migration, you may lose all your coins if you do not claim them within a period of time. One recent case will be BTCP in February this year.

Exactly! Added to that is we need to be prepare:
First, is your fund, how much you are willing to invest on it, how much is your allotted capital.

Next and important thing is: be mentally prepared, as the value of crypto differs from time to time, and from the snap of our hands the value can be down to 1-99% or worst will really drop, so we should be ready in that moment.

because it is important to maintain the funds owned, if you do not get the latest information you will lose a lot of knowledge about existing information, the worst that you say if you need to swap coins, if not done then the coins you invest can be lost and cause losses
