Newbies may make this mistake more often. Basically newbies tend to sell a coin when its price drops because they cannot control their emotions. Emotions must be controlled to be successful in investing. Which the newbies can't do. Also due to lack of experience and patience many people sell their coins thinking that if they don't sell the coin now then the price may drop further later even more can be damaged.

In the current market situation, there may be many who invested, but now that prices have fallen, they may be apathetic and sell their investments. If they invest patiently for a long time now, they may be able to earn profits later.
Yes you are right new investors mostly make a mistake when price of their coins drops. They sell their coins because they are scared or worried. Experienced investors know how to control their emotions and make smart decisions. New investors mostly do not have patience to wait for market to improve. They worry that if they do not sell now they might lose even more money later. But if they wait patiently they might make good profit later. To be good at investing they need to be able to control their emotions and wait for right moment.

The journey of holding Bitcoin is a bit tempting to newbies,the fact that the price move of Bitcoin fluctuates means no investor should sell his/her coins in panic.It is required of every investors to have a set goals and also build an emergency fund to avoid tampering of one's holdings at loss.If you're a long term holder you won't get worried about current price movement of bitcoin because bitcoin investment is not a get quick rich scheme investment, Bitcoin still remain a store of value so don't think it would drop more than what you expect.Having this thought that the price of Bitcoin would appreciate in the future will help you hold onto your coin tightly.
The newbies always want to sell when ever the price is down. And that is one thing newbies are good at, not having patience. Their is always a lot to learn when you start investing. You need to have patience because if you lack patience you will find it difficult to make money because patience bring profits because if you look at the whole thing now people that are already holding when bitcoin was around 70k and now the price is down and expect them to sell. It is not possible. And concerning emergency funds when you have a job you will not have to temper with your investment. Because continous tampering with your funds you will end up losing all you have invested. Long term holders already have experience so they won't panic when the price is going down. Because they know that the price will bounce back no matter what. The moment you want to invest in bitcoin you must be ready to have patience no matter what. And if the person can have patience then number one challenge is settled.

From the time the op made this post until now, if he had held his profit and holdings the should be glad he didn't sell then because the price of Bitcoin has increased to more than 2x since he made this post. This is a strong evidence that holding for long is the best strategy toward making good profit from Bitcoin with limited amount of risk compared to trading your coins which could lead to loss and if not careful you can make the mistake of sending to the wrong address. Holding is much more relaxing as long as you use DCA and put in small fractions from your earning.

That's true , when it comes to investing in Bitcoin long-term holding is just the best . Most always in a haste or should I say most people just want to make it quick , and deep they know that things don't work that way that's why most of time endup losing their money in trading due to trading with half-size knowledge, and also investing in Ponzi scheme, because they want to get rich quick .

While they can just buy some nice quantities of bitcoin, either by lump-summing or DCAing. I know is not an easy task but with nice principles and discipline one will be able to pull it off. Inorder to secure a smooth bitcoin investment (holding) for themselves.

It is very difficult for me to imagine such investors who have hold Bitcoin for 13 years. Who are these people who resisted the temptation to sell their coins when the price increased by tens of thousands of percent? I would never become one of them, since I can't hold my coins so tightly.
Don't be surprised there are people like that guess you've never met them before but I have. Since most of them are potential holders some of them who still have their Bitcoin intact for a long period are people who discover about their portfolio late.
Can you name one, a holder from 2011? Just like mentioned its hard to resist temptation of those users who held for such long where there are so many times they should sell their holdings instead since no matter what the price is they are still in thousands of profit by now.
These categories of investors are investors with a high degree of patient, and are people that understand Bitcoin fundamentals very well, and they get the sense of what Bitcoin is going to be in the future. Secondly, These could be investors that have a lot of money and luckily for them, they were able to purchase Bitcoin at a very cheap prices and saw no reason to sell but rather keep it as their retirement savings, there must be a clear reason for those people who kept theirs until now. There is this Bitcoin enthusiast I follow on Twitter who bought Bitcoin when it was just a dollar and, according to him, his aiming a $500,000 price per Bitcoin.

Maybe now is the best time for investors again because now the price of Bitcoin is low. If someone can buy bitcoins at low prices and hold them for a long time with patience then he will profit later. However, those who adopt a DCA approach to investing may not have to wait for Bitcoin to fall because they are constantly investing using that balanced approach. Investing in the Dollar Cost Averaging method will steadily accumulate Bitcoins in your investment portfolio which will grow in size later on. But the advantage of this method is that you can deposit small amounts of bitcoins even in fractional form.

For example, those who forgot they have an asset somewhere will alter in the future and remember and by so doing they have made a lot of profits for those number  of years they forgot about it.

Some people does not plan to hold when the market is decreasing the only think of holding their cryptocurrency when the market is increasing why the best way to accumulate your Bitcoin and also make a profit is doing the time the market is reducing or decreasing so I will advise whoever that I have a Bitcoin to hold it Bitcoin for future purpose or future reference because it is obvious that when you hold your bitcoin for long time definitely you will make a profit but when you panic to sell your bitcoin because the price of Bitcoin is getting decreased in the market you will regret selling your cryptocurrency at that moment

It seems OP already gained profit if you check the current market we are now sitting the price of 56k actually last all time high price of the BTC goes up to 70k if you make a take profit congrats but if you keep holding I guess regrets will be partially on you still profit is profit. Halving is done already but the price are still less volatile recently just the recent drop until now haven't seen any bull run for heading in the 80-100k price of the Bitcoin and hopefully it happens.

Looking at his post date and time, 1 and half year just pass like it's nothing and the last place he said Bitcoin was trading was $17k, a buy from here despite that the price has reduce from the all time high, the person should be in 3x of his investment as Bitcoin is currently trading around $57k. This looks fast but as an experienced holder of Bitcoin, this might look like 3 years of holding an investment, but if we continue to dip on dip, there wouldn't be much profit left to sell.

I'm also not sure about $100k because the damage some governments like Germany are doing to Bitcoin isn't good. It has been reported Germany particularly has been selling their share of Bitcoin every day since June, this could make Bitcoin even harder to stay at high price. What if US also start selling their bag, it will have a bad impact on Bitcoin on the long run.

Sure there is a lot of pressure to sell now than any other time and it's not easy to hold on tight as much as you think l, especially those those bought earlier at 25k or 35 k that have already made profits on their portfolio might be thinking of selling now.

It takes a lot of discipline to hold longer especially when you are the only one of your friends doing so.


I ask for tips from you, how can I be strong enough to resist, and not be tempted by prices that have already increased?

and your explanation will be very much appreciated, and
hopefully this is useful for all of us, especially for beginners like me...
One way not to be tempted to sell your bag when ever the market is pumping is to stop watching the market totally, simply think about other activities you can engage your self in, and completely remove or take away your mind away from what is happening in the market.

And I really hope you are still holding your bitcoin even to this very moment, for right now, the price of bitcoin have so much increased and if you really bought in at $17,000, then you are one of the luckiest to enjoy really massive profit this season.

Not the easiest practice I bet you, its so tempting especially when you are subscribed to crypto news and you belong to a community as this all you would be hearing daily us about bitcoin and you would be tempted to check, so I I having such a plan would fail sometimes.

It's far better to be disciplined and set a target price you are hoping for and wait to then, besides everyone here or most of us are preparing to sell at at 100k or more, except the diamond hands that would prefer to hold longer or early accumulators like myself.
Betting is not an easy habit. Bettors are addicted to it. No matter how much they are advised, they cannot come out of it. There's a fascinating dynamic in betting groups, where ideas are shared, and bets are placed, often with a financial incentive.

Those who become addicted to it cannot come off it as if it were infused in their blood. Even if they sometimes fail and it all ends, they are still addicted to it. However, Bitcoin's value is likely to reach 100k$ in the near future, and there will likely be a significant uptick later this year.

I just saw the market, it turns out that the bitcoin price has gone up.
and I feel very happy with the increase in the price of btc, and I bought btc at a price of 17000 and I just saw the market now the price of bitcoin is 22000.
but do you think I should sell it, or keep it? because I'm afraid the btc price will drop again to 17000,

but now I decided to hold on tight, because from the start I planned for a long term investment. and it's not certain that I can scrape again from the bottom.

I ask for tips from you, how can I be strong enough to resist, and not be tempted by prices that have already increased?

and your explanation will be very much appreciated, and
hopefully this is useful for all of us, especially for beginners like me...
I think I still have to come back to this thread, I have to hold on tight my question is, are you still holding? Because you bought @17k and you were happy when bitcoin climbed 20k.
Today as we speak, Bitcoin is $70,200k if you are still holding that means you should be more happy than the past. I believe that you have gotten enough ideas on how to hold Bitcoin for a longer time, now I ask again, have you hold from then till now? Bitcoin will still increase and we will all be happy we just have to continue holding up what we bought, if you bought Bitcoin you better hold it.

I know many people have sold their BTC in this bull run that just happened in this month of march but there are still some hodlers who are hodling their BTC because, they believe that the massive bull run will surely happen before the end of this year 2024.
The bull run doesn't necessarily have to be in 2024, we should expect that to happen somewhere within the 2024-2025 range because a bull run generally stays for about 2 years and then the market starts declining from there and a new cycle begins with a new bear market and an anticipated bull run to be followed by it.

And you are right, a lot of people must have already taken profit when the price of Bitcoin reached $73k, and most of those people must be those who bought Bitcoin at the previous bull run when Bitcoin reached $69k and then crashed from there. They have waited enough and probably couldn't wait longer than that.

If your initial strategy is to invest in bitcoin for the long term, my advice is that you must be consistent with that plan, you don't need to worry about the future price of bitcoin because so far bitcoin has been proven. can get higher grades year after year.
Right now you may be a little tempted to see your portfolio value increase so you are hesitant to continue holding or selling it now, but you need to be aware that the return offered by bitcoin in the future is greater than the return you get if you decide to sell at the current price.

For the holding plan to be effective one need totally zero it's mind once  the investment is already made and should give a specific year in target because if one continue to watch on bull run the zeal to continue hold or practice the Long term holding will definitely failed and one should avoid having the investment as source of income to it's daily activities because that will be obstacle that will trigger not been able to practice the Long term holding.

Imagine a person who purchased BTC in 2011 and held it for 13 years, his profit from this investment is huge.
I'm sure anyone hodling that long will either be having numerous wallets with Bitcoin and then decides not to move certain wallets or they're simply dead. You can't tell me someone will witness two Bitcoin circles (and the third one is around the corner) and the drama of their halving and still conquer the temptation of taking profit. That's almost impossible. They must be taking profit from somewhere else.

Quote
Now think you are that person in 2035, you can calculate the profit margin and this will help you calm your nerves.
That can't be me. Besides, all that adrenaline rush and temptation will be enough to cause anyone high blood pressure. It won't calm any nerves. What if anything happens to Bitcoin or one's wallet before 2035. It's only greed that can make anyone expect that much and stretch the period to take profit that long. Such a person is even hurting the space by hodling that long because what gives Bitcoin its price value isn't in hodling but in buying and selling.

I don't think if it is possible for someone to purchase btc and hold it for 13years,who knows if the unknown "death" will still keep the Person till then, not every risk are meant to take,some risk are very expensive. holding coin for just 5years is still difficult talk more of 13years, although making a Long term investment is very good but not this far.

It is very possible for someone to hold Bitcoin for even more than 13 years. I believe there will still be some people who accumulate Bitcoin since the early existence of Bitcoin, yet they are still holding onto their Bitcoin. If we should always be thinking of death when it will occur, I don't think even tomorrow is worth risking because even tomorrow is not promised, so we just need to stop thinking about death if truly you want to be a successful person in this life, because if you are to be planning death all the time, even property someone will not think of owing.
 
It is not that we will not have a plan for death, but when it comes to business or investment, that should not be our focus. Our focus should be like tomorrow is a promise; if not, you will not carry the risk that is worth carrying to achieve your dream. Just me, who has a plan of holding Bitcoin for a long time because I know death time can come any time I show my close and trusted friend where my private key has been hidden so it can be told to my parents if death later won, but not because of death, I will not take some risk worth taking now that later I will be regretting why I did not take the risk.
