I mostly see a lot of post skirting about the issue of decrease in bitcoin market price by saying hodl, hodl of which i mostly do not get them. Assuming we all decide to hodl without any transaction that means with time btc will drain and what will be the essence of the coin. We should always be a family to embrace the state of price no matter what and ensure buying and selling in order to at least have a significant effect on market price. I hodl, you hodl and we all hodl and btc will drain just like that.
If you really can make a chance with this bear market, then you can get profit from that. Like buy back and sell in a little amount of profit, then buy again sell again with little spread. But sometime people only like to hold.

It actually depend on the people who were engaged in btc and in my opinion, only those small time investors are mostly doing hodl. For the traders, they do not prefer to hold too long for as long as they think they could earn even a marginal profit, they will do the trading. Hodl is the most common strategy that prevent the investor from losing investment especially if they will go panic selling during bear market.
in my opinion holding is not only way to drop of btc price. bitcoin running on the theory of demand and supply .trading could be more effective for increasing bitcoin demand.
I think holding coins may help the situation only partially because in order for a coin do well there must be large trades covering both large demands and supply.
i must say that some coins are not worthy of holding even if we conitnue preaching about holding. we all need to find a good reason to hold within ourselve not as a result of external comandmnet or mandation from third party. prices dosent decrease or increase when holding because everyone isnt doing the same thing at everytime so there will surely be price flunctuations.

As I stated in my previous posts also that when I was a newbie I have told many things that I have to keep in mind while investing into crypto and make maximum profit out of it and the most important of which is having patience and have to invest wisely that when to buy and sell my coin, as we all know that bitcoin is a volatile crypto currency and thus its valuation keeps on flactuation according to market demand and supply and for this holding is the best option in the time of deflation and I think holding is the only solution to drop of BTC prices.
I think, the best thing for small investor is holding when market drop the value. I am believe investing bitcoin for long term and i dont have plan to sell my bitcoin at short time. Holding our coin when people panic can reducing supply in market
Holding is good for cryptocurrency but we should be cautious in holding every time we cant get profit in holding we should hold and keep selling only whenever we see profits then only we will make profits
One can hodl a coin for a while and it still could turn shitcoins with value abysmally dropped. It only goes to show that hodling isn't a panacea for falling in price. The dynamics of the market is far beyond the simplicity of hodling. It even surpasses the elementary economics of buying and selling. The inter-dialogue between demand and supply as to what quantity (large quantity can crash price) is sold or bought is key. Demand has to be greater than supply to make meaning for price rise.
Hmmm.. Embracing the market will cause alot of harm than good to use because those who buy in a high price will find it very difficult to cope up with the market price..
Will you expect someone to sell off his/her btc at 6500$ when he/she bought in a higher price??
If you are the one how will you fell with that change??

it seems like every time that the market acts against certain people's expectations they start coming up with the strangest of ideas regarding what can change the market into their own vision. for example what OP is talking about is one of those cases where people try to convince others not to sell because they can not believe price is going down! and think if they can convince others to hold price would stop going down and start rising.
I believe that Bitcoin is valuable today just because the early adopters decided to use their Bitcoin as a payment instrument instead of holding and now it is our responsibility to do the same because the core principle of Bitcoins states that it is a payment system. I am not against speculation but I think that we should not give first priority to speculation.
hold better than panic sell, or sell large amounts of btc. even though we all hold without making any transactions, at least bitcoin does not lose volume on the demands and will make it more stable.
If you believe that holding will get the price higher, what will you do when the demand decreases and value goes with it? Will you hold looking at the price dropping to 4000 > 3000 > 2000, until it goes back to pre MtGox prices? Holding is a good strategy if you have a long way to go before you go bust. Otherwise it's not.
I think if all the people holding it might be able to raise the price. I agree with your invitation to hold it. I also still hold all my coins because I believe this is a profitable investment for the future.

We should take individual strategic decision. HODL is best approach but who knows wheres the bottom? Just buy bites along the way at prices you like and sell even with small profits. It's always good to HODL some and sell partially so that you can reenter again at the bottom of bear market.This will also average out your BTC losses.
Hodling is like the only thing you could do when the market panicked, of course its not the only solution, you could sell and dip low, which future increase your loses if the bottom is nowhere near of what you expected, that's how market work when its really down, you could short for more bitcoins and there's certain way to make gains even the market is going down, hodling is well, the basic thing for every beginners when you suffered some loses.
The main idea is to stop selling crypto currency because of panic, because investors lose their money and have a negative attitude towards bitcoin.
We need to calm down and develop the crypto market

it is true that there are so many directives that aim to restrain the bitcoin we have, because we know that prices are currently down, and if we sell, we can experience losses and regrets.
In my views, people that are into btc are categorize as investors, traders, miners and bounty hunters. Most of the investors are more into hodl as there strategy on not losing on their investment. Other people that do trading are more particular to their profit even if only they earn less for as long as they earn. However, we really do not know the percentage as to how many people are into hodling and those who are in trading which has something to contribute in the btc dip.
