This will be the right choice, HOLD our breath, don't overwhelmed those FUD news. True, it was overdue, but his comments create FUD, there are a lot of inexperienced people trading this news.

I never seriously considered the ideas. It's just another way for us to lose faith in bitcoin. And that will never happen to me. I only believe in my own choice, in what I study.

We all have the freedom to choose a handle or release it,
but I notice that if an experienced trader will be calm and not easily believe in untrue news.

So true. And if a trader easily believes in fud they'll definitely lose up.
You'll just giving your money to big whales.
Holding is the safest way for me not to lose my money, just hold it and go back for years then it's an instant profit.

Almost all bitcoin members knows that holding is the safest and maybe one of the best strategy that many users is into. It doesn't needs skills and much thinking it only needs patience and good wallet to stored it. Look so easy but a complicated challenge in yourself control. Patience is a virtue as what they say and trust is a must, In yourself and in bitcoins future value.

For those who hold bitcoin since it was very cheap is lucky. Because I am confident price will reach high or increase, yes I agree needs patience and determination that you can earn in bitcoin. So I am for hodling my coins in my portfolio, beleiving in and we can be rich in time with bitcoin.

People who have the bitcoin for long periods,will have the treasurer. The price of bitcoin will reach the value of 5000$+ at this month end.so you can inverse your money in bitcoin now.Even you can hold,if you not want the money for use and sell later to get the double or triple of profit.

I think that's a bad thing. People should use bitcoin not as an investment. Must be a turnover of bitcoins. Want trade for bitcoin and needs to be offers of payment for work in bitcoins. Then bitcoins will be faster and will be distributed at all. We are turning the bitcoin bubble.

Though the price seems fluctuating we have got the chance of reaching $5000 by the end of the month. Because the price drop took place in unexpected time when it is expected to cross $5000. Now once again the price has begun to pump with minor variations taking place periodically which will soon make the price reach $5000.

The good thing about holding bitcoins is that you can invest again with any amount. No amount is too small that it could not go into bitcoin.
Many other investment options have fees in such a high range that investing smaller amounts is not possible.
Bitcoin welcomes small investors as well! And with a little patientce, even the small amounts can turn into a real fortune here.

All of us are holding and will continue to do so in the coming future. Bitcoin give bests from profit only if you hold there are many lucky people who bought at 3000$ and next day price became 4000$ that won't surely happen daily and one should always realise that and hold according because the more time you hold the more profit you will gain overtime

Holding btc still allows us to gain better profit than saving money in bank or in any other form. Not inferior to gold, bitcoin also has high liquidity. Even has very large market capitalization with number of users who are still growing. I am optimistic, holding btc patiently will earned tremendous results in the future.

Holding Bitcoin has always been a success, and for that reason it doesn't depend on the market to bounce back. Even if it kept dropping further to levels deep below the $3000 level, things would still be the same. At this point we still have the hard fork event in November to walk ourself through, so I wouldn't get all that optimistic just because the price is recovering from its sub $3000 bottom. It took us what, four days to recover from the massive wave of panic selling? I am quite sure that the people having sold in panic at near bottom levels have either bought back their coins at a premium, or will do so at a later point, because that's always how things go here. Buying high and selling low is a proper form of capital destruction.

Hmm... are you sure that? The chance to buy Bitcoin with best bottom is gone and now, all traders are waiting the moves of Bitcoin on the market. Only small moves like bearish trend starts will make the price of Bitcoin continue fall down. Wink

Well one can't say anything about the bitcoin price will now not fall. Bitcoin price is always at a stake, you never know when it's gonna dump but I think people who sold at around $4200 to $4000 were lucky who got a chance to sell at high and purchase back at a lower price. I think we are still at a high risk with the bitcoin price to move downwards. We are seeing this price because Chinese exchanges are still functional. I expect that we will experience another price fall soon by the start of October or maybe in the first week of October.

I'm holding my bitcoin too and so far i'm seeing bitcoin recovering from that big price dump under $3000 and now bitcoin was rising up to $4000 again. bitcoin price right now was over $3900 so we can see the bubble again this is a good news for those who hold their bitcoins like me. don't do panic selling just hold it. if you see price dump again don't sell your coins. instead do invest more.

Buy into paper wallets or physical (collectable) coins, that way its easier to hodl the btc.

I doubt that the far majority of the people here can justify spending a large premium on whatever crypto collectible. At the end of the day it's all about mental stability, being a firm holder, not being in a position where you are short of money - if you can check these boxes, then you'll easily hold through whatever pump or dump. There are enough examples of how people couldn't resist it (whatever their reason might have been at that time), and thus started to peel their physical coins to liquidate them.

If you hodl on an exchange then you are maybe tempted to trade some now and then Cheesy

Only an utter idiot leaves his value on an exchange for long term holding purposes. Ultimately, there is nothing wrong with trading, but people should divide their holdings into two parts - X percentage for holding purposes, and X percentage that you can use to trade with. That way you can trade the volatility of this market, but without exposing the coins you hold for the long term to the risks that are tied to trading. It's just a matter of logical thinking. Wink

You may make small profits by trading, but you risk losing out on the big price movements. People who thought that $2000 was the peak misses out on the move to $5000. And now the might never get an opportunity to buy below $3k.

indeed for now the price began to rise and this seems a good sign for the increase bitcoin yesterday had decreased due to rumors circulating in China about the ban on exchange of bitcoin.
and it seems correct if from now on we will find it difficult to get bitcoin prices under $ 3000

Ya true. Many long view traders want for bitcoin to reach the low value then the current price of bitcoin. They are focused to buy lot bitcoin. Since they are long term traders,they will know the value of bitcoin. They know, bitcoin will again get back to the high value as like previous price.

Focusing on the long term holding is going to be the best strategy. Each halving has brought at least 3-5x growth in bitcoin price so far and i don't think that slowing down any time soon. There is simply so much potential in bitcoin.

Though if i were you i would definitely sell like half my bitcoins right now for fiat, so that if a market-wide panic happens and people start dumping you do have some purchasing power to accumulate.

I see the bottom for the next few years till the next halving to be $1000-1500, somewhere like that. If you hold all the time, then you can't take advantage of this low to buy into new coins if you know what i mean. Though price of bitcoin shouldn't drop too significantly this month, correction has already happened and markets seem to be recovering rn.

Holding is not the best strategy but if you are simply preparing yourself for the long term in case a fiancial collapse happens and a global means of exchange needs to be found or you are an early adopter, then holding is a great strategy.

Right now i think price is going to correct even more in the next few months, perhaps down to $2000 or even under.

However, each halving will bring a new bull market. Even if you bought at the ATH, i would not doubt that you'll still make more than bank interest if you just held your coins till 2021(4 years time). It's just that you're not getting the best deal.

The money I have invested into cryptos is not needed and I have wrote it off. So any meltdown does not bug me and is also a good training for any kind of stock market meltdown because the majority of my wealth is invested in ETFs.

What are you saying. Holding of is the best thing than trading of new bitcoin. If you had a plan to hold bitcoin so,you should not commit the expenditure with dollar getting from the bitcoin. Of you want to save also.Do this same procedure. If you want to be a successful in bitcoin means, you should hold the bitcoin for long.

Never really Forget the past of bitcoin, it will surely keeps on rising even if it drops significantly big it will surely go back and more agile than ever, the price back then was significantly low but there are believers in bitcoin that it 1 day rise in a great distant, and let's just say in three more years the price will be at $500,000 mark value.

Already bitcoin has recovered half of its losses and I guess before coming Monday, prices may recover up to $4000+ levels. China's recent regulations on ICOs and crypto exchanges had triggered the down fall but only due to panic most of the traders decided to sell their positions and when they do see prices recovering then they will come back with more investments to restore prices to above $4500 levels.

I am also hodling and I am sure in next 15 days we may see prices to test $6000 levels as part of bitcoin's journey toward $10k levels by December 2017.

I read a lot of posts on the forum and in chats from beginners who panicked and sold their coins. They were losing money, but they were still selling. I do not understand why they did this.
Crypto currency must be trusted and bitcoin should not be sold for several years. You need to be prepared for the fact that there will be many more falls

Noobs always get burnt & end up losing loads of money because they don't have the balls to ride the wave.
I guess they can put it down to character building & maybe pick themselves up & go again

And just like all of you guys are telling, weak hands have been shaken. So once more, a painful lessons for newbies who panic during the crash and instead of hodling and buy, they panic choosing to get out with losses. And now that the price have recovered, newbies are nowhere to be found because you advise them but they didn't listen and now regretting this decision to sold.

yes that is right that it is for the second time and those people who have little knowledge about bitcoin, i think that they are now getting good knowledge and experience, i think those people who do not have the courage to hold their bitcoins they again sold their bitcoin in a low price and now again the price is trading above 3800$ and hopefully that the price will continue increasing, so those people who are holding their bitcoin will cover their lost and hopefully that they will be getting a good profit after some time.

I guess most of the newcomers that sold during this fall were just in it for the easy money and didn't do their homework. Anyone who looks at Bitcoin either from a technical or fundamental perspective knows better than to sell just short of USD 3k,-. A lesson paid is a lesson learned, I guess? But let's see, maybe we're not fully done dropping yet and some of those nubs manage to buy back in at a cheaper price point.

Either way it would be interesting to know how many of the sold coins were arbitraged and not just panic sold. The current price difference looks quite profitable for someone with fiat on Chinese exchanges.

Noobs always get burnt & end up losing loads of money because they don't have the balls to ride the wave.
I guess they can put it down to character building & maybe pick themselves up & go again

Of course you can have profit without selling anything. The thing is you get profit of like 5% of what you could get if you trade BTC the smart way. BTC is already $1k less then when I sold it - $10k profit after ~3 days for me if I bought it back now. But it will crash to $2k or less, I'll wait. Your choice.

Sure keep waiting for 2k$.Won't happen now. price is jumping back up and that's why i prefer hodling.Not everyone here is trader.It's better to HODL and get massive profit over years then to take of risk of loosing it all for quick buck.How loosing it all you may ask? Well you sell big amount of bitcoins and hold USD in exchanges for long and then wait for price to get to 2k$(which will not happen) and then buy back and withdraw bitcoins.It ain't risk free and many shit things can happen in between.Exchanges may do selective scam,exit scam,other stuffs.Better to keep hodling.Get decent returns and sell slow. Cool

BTC price is going down and it will not stop at current 3350$. It will go down much harder.
Everyone with a brain would sell it as price is going down and buy it back once it's low enough (it will go down to 2500$ at least) to get their BTC back and extra 850$/BTC for example. But everyone just spams HOLD, BUY IT NOW ("because I have some $ invested in btc and I want to earn cash").
I have sold all of my coins (around 10), I will buy them back in November. I will get all of my BTC back and extra ~1k$/BTC because of those exchanges. And you - don't forget to HOOOOLD Grin

There were some people like you who said the same thing before August 1 fork and smart HODLERS didn't listened to them and see how much bitcoin rise by then.I will still say HODL.It's the safest and best option for everyone Cheesy

I have sold my BTCs once they were ~4k$/ea. I should have done it earlier but well. I could just buy them back now and earn ~$7000 for free but it's still not worth it as I can buy it back in a month and earn ~$15k while "smart holders" will wait for months to get a profit. BTC will go down, no matter if you will hold it or not. BTC= China.

So go ahead roll your crystal ball and if you are so sure as shit then why not wait 6 months?Clearly according to your speculation it will fall more lol.I am a BTC Hodler from early 2015 and already got a good profit then you did from trading without selling anything.Even if it dumps to 800$ i am in profit.Trading is not the safest option considering exchanges may hold your withdraw/other bad things can happen but HODLing pretty much guarantees a long term profit.

You can't seriously think that China will actually manage to ban bitcoin? Or make Chinese people to stop using BTC? Of course they could but I guess rather that they have some plans for an official exchange that is run by the government. This way they can control the people and see where the money walks much better.

I am taking the opposite approach...
We know BC will hopefully go up again, so every time it goes down a bit (in this case, every 350) I buy some more. I take the profit once it goes up so I won't lose money in the long term by calling wrong bottoms.
Of course, it takes faith to do this...But if I don't believe in BC I might as well invest my money on JP Morgan

I am confuse to see the bitcoin price. I don't know why in this week bitcoin suddenly down, i have no valid reason. Because in the previous week, i have thought that in the next week bitcoin will definitely cross $5000, but now it has happened op-posit. But i am not a bad trader that's why i have patience and see what is happen till the end.

Anyone in tune with the news would have dumped Bitcoin back in the 4xxx levels in a bid to book profits and buy back cheap later. HODLers will benefit in the long run anyway so its a win-win situation for both traders and HODLers.

Sooner or later Bitcoin will be $10,000 and people who don't buy when it goes below the 3xxx mark will be regretting it.

Yeah, I do not know the reason make many traders keep this thought while they know the market does not easy for recover fast and continue falls down by FUD. Sell my Bitcoin and find new opportunity to buy back better than boring while the price of Bitcoin crash more every day. Cool

That post was written when BTC was down by more than 60% from USD 1180,-. Right now we're down by maybe 25%.

In the bear market as a whole, the value dropped from $1180 to below $200. $1180 to $200 is a reduction of roughly 83%, so you would be losing more than four fifths of your coins' value if you held throughout that period. In some BTC bear markets it's been even worse.

The trick is putting your coins (the ones that you're not using regularly) in cold storage somewhere that it would take a while to access them, so it takes a lot of thought to dump them and it's not subject to short-term emotions from price movements.

If you have enough savings that you can still live comfortably if you lose all the coins, HODLing shouldn't be too difficult.

I'm just going to hold and ride it out. That drop to $200 was a few years ago and I think Bitcoin has a bunch of new investors since then. Hopefully they won't all panic sell to make the price drop 83%. I guess less than a 50% drop from peak price.

If it drops below $3000 I might regret that I didn't sell but the hard thing is that we didn't know if the price would go to $7000 before a correction even though we knew a drop would eventually come. It's too hard to predict sometimes but I see the drop as a chance to buy more Bitcoins if it does go below $3000.

True. But holding is the logical choice because like everyone else's here, we are still positive that bitcoin can recover from all of this shenanigans created by those who want's to manipulate the price. We may regret not selling when the price is $4700 but who knows, after everything is straighten out we might see the light at the end of the tunnel. So I will hold and buy from this dip, simple as that.

Yes. That's right. We all here on the forum are bitcoin's supporters and believers and I don't think there will be something like: "I will not HODL". I'm also planning to hold my founds till I desperately need it. I suppose when the panic around Chinese exchangers will pass everything will come back on it's place.

If it goes down any further I'm going to have a research about how to sell my BCH. Could be a good oppprtunity to increase my bitcoin stash if this goes down much further. I won't be panic selling any of my bitcoin's though.

I am a hodler as well.
In my case, only a small part of my general investment is in bitcoin. Even if the price goes down further, that would be sad to see, but not really catastrophic for me.
But others might have bought at a much higher point, with more money than they should have. I can't really advise them what to do. I can understand if they want to cut their losses.
Nothing is certain at the moment.

For the people who came in at $4000 and above, it's hard to tell them to hold especially that the price kept on tanking every single day. I have bought on $4000 and $4200 but majority of my holdings right now are still from $2500 so it's easy for me to bail out if I really wanted to, and I think other people are also considering this move since the future is looking gloomy within the next weeks.

I beg to disagree that it can still be gloomy within the next few weeks. Right now, there are already new rumors that eventually China will never be banning Bitcoin exchange but would rather regulate them strictly and the same thing can be possible for ICO projects...they will need to get permit first before doing the business. This can be a good compromise compared to complete ban.

Bankers have been advising against Bitcoin for years and China has been "banning" crypto-currencies since 2013 so the fundamentals haven't changed in that regard. The infrastructure on the other hand has gotten much better and most importantly -- Bitcoin is still here and going strong. The longer Bitcoin prevails, the more established it will become.

The forks are a different question of course. While the BCH fork was retrospectively quite healthy for BTC, I'm not so sure about SegWit2x. But that's another discussion.

Regardless of that I agree with you. It's easy to tell other people to hodl while you yourself are in the green.

but if things crashed and huge downfall happen for sure panic will also be felt and worries will start to happen I'm also positive that everything
still in good shape even there's a lots of struggle coming this week or maybe the whole month bitcoin will still a good investment to hold.

Good lord that drop. I wasn't into bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general at those times, but looking at those charts right now.. if I remember correctly bitcoin stayed at around the $200 mark for around a year or so? If I was a beginner at that time I would have probably said "fuck it" and sold at $200 because I would probably think it wouldn't rise back up, knowing it has stayed in that price range for so long.

I also agree on your second statement, holding bitcoin somewhere less accessible. But damn that's definitely easier said than done.

I was also around when bitcoin was at 200-300 for like a good year. I was actually thinking about cashing out, but I kept seeing the fluctuations and thought I might as well HODL for the hell of it. My holdings just exploded, and I genuinely have no regrets with holding. Even though it's dropping now, I'm still in a profit.

I was here also when the price is 300$ price but I'm doubting on it and never try to hodl any and I'm bit doubting right now since If I tried to grab some and hold it for long years then I might turn to millionaire nor bountiful right now. But Still I am glad on whats happening for now since I can actually earn huge on this rate since Every digits of satoshi have value today.

"here" is the speculation board and most people are here to trade bitcoin for the most part. so obviously holding is still an option but trading is the dominant goal here.

when selling you need to have plans and a damn good reason for it too. if you are selling based on panic or a fear that price might go lower then you are better off holding. otherwise when the FUD starts it is a very good time to sell something and wait for the bottom to buy back.
for instance if you have 10BTC and you are trading with 2 of them. you sell it at $4300 and wait for the bottom. lets say it is $3700 and buy back 2.32BTC and that is 0.32BTC pure profit.

That post was written when BTC was down by more than 60% from USD 1180,-. Right now we're down by maybe 25%.

In the bear market as a whole, the value dropped from $1180 to below $200. $1180 to $200 is a reduction of roughly 83%, so you would be losing more than four fifths of your coins' value if you held throughout that period. In some BTC bear markets it's been even worse.

The trick is putting your coins (the ones that you're not using regularly) in cold storage somewhere that it would take a while to access them, so it takes a lot of thought to dump them and it's not subject to short-term emotions from price movements.

If you have enough savings that you can still live comfortably if you lose all the coins, HODLing shouldn't be too difficult.

Good lord that drop. I wasn't into bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general at those times, but looking at those charts right now.. if I remember correctly bitcoin stayed at around the $200 mark for around a year or so? If I was a beginner at that time I would have probably said "fuck it" and sold at $200 because I would probably think it wouldn't rise back up, knowing it has stayed in that price range for so long.

I also agree on your second statement, holding bitcoin somewhere less accessible. But damn that's definitely easier said than done.

Holding is the best thing you can do at a moment as price has gone far below now and if you sell now then you will be making less profits and price will recover in coming days so depending on that you can take decision whether to sell or continue to hold.

Well for me even i am not old in bitcoin and i am just 1 year old here i can say that holding bitcoin can gives you profit if you can see the movement of the price and most of the other they are holding and really they are getting a large price profit after the block halving..
Now since i have my own job in real life few my salary invest in bitcoin i am just invest in bitcoin past few months when the price is the same as the price today and hope that the price will increase back again.. i am still holding and never sell them because i know the potencial of bitcoin and its still accepting from many site..

The trick is to treat any money you put in Bitcoin as money burned. Only invest money that you're not going to need any time soon and mentally write it off as squandered.

Whenever people flinch during drops I get the feeling that they invested more than they should have.

I believe that many people will stay calm even if bitcoin work dump on 2000$ point. I think 2000$ is big price to such thing as bitcoin already and I'm going to be happy to get at least this money. But I can understand those people who invested in bitcoin on the position of 5000$. My recommendation to all of them is to hold their founds. I have heard that bitcoin is going to raise to 6000-7000$ this year. So, the time will come.

The nub threads that pop up every now and then tell a different story Grin

Also USD 2k,- is still the light version. If the 2013 aftermath repeats we're looking at a years-long bear market with BTC prices as low as USD 1k,-. Could be quite taxing for some, psychologically. I doubt we'll see either price point any time soon though.

That being said, I'm proud of all you fellow hodlers out there. Keep on hodling!

I have been holding since I started back in early 2013 and nothing has changed for me. While people are panicking due to the price going down, they completely discard the fact that at current levels, we're still 290% up if we start counting from the first of January. For some reason people always look at the negative aspects, and let them weigh heavily, while in reality, there is no reason to panic at all - again, we're still 290% up!! I am quite sure that if we would happen to reach the $3000 level for the first ever time today, people would jump a hole in the sky. The market was heavily overbought, and for that reason a correction was looming for quite a while. Those who cashed out profits close to the peak of nearly $5000 earlier this month, have done the right thing.

I'm not part of that group. When the traders buy back in I'm already part of the market capital so GUESS WHO YOU'RE CHEATING day traders NOT ME~! Those taunt threads saying "OHH YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD" YEAH NO SHIT. NO SHIT I SHOULD HAVE SOLD. I SHOULD HAVE SOLD MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY SELL AND BOUGHT MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY BUY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS COOL AS YOU. You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob. The people inbetween hold. In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell.

I'm just going to hold and ride it out. That drop to $200 was a few years ago and I think Bitcoin has a bunch of new investors since then. Hopefully they won't all panic sell to make the price drop 83%. I guess less than a 50% drop from peak price.

If it drops below $3000 I might regret that I didn't sell but the hard thing is that we didn't know if the price would go to $7000 before a correction even though we knew a drop would eventually come. It's too hard to predict sometimes but I see the drop as a chance to buy more Bitcoins if it does go below $3000.

Bear markets can happen anytime. Why people started to sell? I can't understand this. Correction problems are also possible all the time. We can't be earning money in bull market 100% and we may lose sometime. Like happening now.

Another hodler here.

I'm also from 2013 and my thinking was: if I sell them now anyway it's not worth a lot. If I hodl it may recover.

So they are still in my hands.

True. But holding is the logical choice because like everyone else's here, we are still positive that bitcoin can recover from all of this shenanigans created by those who want's to manipulate the price. We may regret not selling when the price is $4700 but who knows, after everything is straighten out we might see the light at the end of the tunnel. So I will hold and buy from this dip, simple as that.
