Hodling is always the safest option I think. But also, depending on at what price you purchased your BTC this might still be a great time to sell. Let's say you bought it for 1K or less, this is still a good profit (not as amazing as when it was nearly 20k, but good), now if you bought it when it was close to 20K then Hodling is the best way to go until it gets past the price you purchased at. You never want to sell at a loss.

Why should we lose over money by seeing at low price.We are investing our hard earned money in bitcoin, so don't waste it by panic selling. The price of will increase only if you hold the bitcoin as long as you can. Now the price of bitcoin is start to increase, so we expect to reach the maximum.The price of bitcoin will cross 10,000$ by today or tomorrow ,so just hold.

If I didn’t sell my stash at $19,xxx I sure as hell am not going to sell a single satoshi now.

+1 and I'm sitting on quite a wad of $$$

Anyway we seem to be going back to 10k

And people the best place for your Bitcoin is offline, also prevents you from panic selling Cool

The issue with this is that holding isn't always the best option. Holding is the best option only if you believe that after each peak, bitcoin will surpass that peak once more in the future. There will be a time where bitcoin ultimately stops going up, and that's pretty much inevitable. We just don't know when that will be.

That part of your post includes everything that's needed to be said about why holding has been the best option thus far, and still IS the best option in the forthcoming years due to the insane growth potential. I probably shouldn't have used the term always, because this directly implies that the market will always keep increasing, and that indeed can't be the case for ever. However, with what we have experienced in growth thus far, and with the potential growth that we can still gain, holding at this point remains the best and easiest way of getting that growth exposure.

It depends on what kind of time reference you are using, in the short term is impossible for the price of bitcoin to keep going up, there are going to fluctuations in the price, but if you are thinking in the long term and you look at the overall trajectory of bitcoin you see that the direction goes up, yes there are crashes but if you were to draw a line from almost any point of time to today you will get a line that goes up and that is why holding is recommended as the best strategy.

Yeah but i get the point that btc won't be there and eventually we'll all have to sell whether btc meets expectations or not. For now though, and with the market like this, i agree that holding is the best options since i believe that bitcoin still has a lot in it and will push forward after it get through with this obstacle.

Exactly NEVER sell at a loss ! If you just ignore it, the loss is not there !

I currently am in the same state of mind as last January. BTC went up and then straight down. I have learn my lesson, next November / December I'll probably sell a few to take profit.
Plus, I am trying to be realistic here :
-There was an unprecedented bullrun to 20k. Odds are veeeery very thin that, in the life of btc, we don't see another similar bullrun again.
-Goldman Sachs exchange !
-Lightning network (dunno really if this will help btc to recover, but hey, still looks bullish to me)
-Maybe some future nice fork annoucements ?
-No more weak hands since the 'crash'

I am hodling at least until mid summer of this year. And if the price stays down, then that would mean to me that I definitely missed the big opportunity at the 20K USD ATH.

HODL

So how's that working out for you? Made any money?

Bitcoin is very unpredictable so we dont have to be on hurry or on rush. If you dont have patient on your self, maybe you will get regret at the end. It is good that you will have a good profit after even if it takes time. Worth the wait for everything. Just be responsible and put effort in every oppurtunity that you will take.

Well that is why he is holding in order to make money when its price hit back the $20K.

LOL. That's obviously never going to happen again.

Quote

The cryptop community they said is just 1% of toe total population of the world, if more than 5% is starting to get interested to invest in cryptop that $20k will be forgotten and we may be heading to $50K. But lets take it slow because people are still accumulating more money to get btc. Once there is nothing left to dump for less, people will start to sell for profit.

Bitcoin failed, unsuitable as payment system. Governments are cracking down. It now seems with fraudulent tether it was bought up and will die hard when that scam turns out to be true. It will never recover, only die. But oh well, I guess we have different opinions. Only time will tell who was right ...

I'd like tout see some sources to back all that.

On my side I traded all my few xrps and eths for btc when it was near bottom to increase my stash.

The price on YoBit currently is 11k$ and let's be honest, thast's the huge step for bitcoin. When I joined it a year ago it costed 1k and I thought like, ok 3k is going to be max in 2017. But I can understand all those people who invested in bitcoin at 19-20k $, it is a big shock to all of them, so, HODL is the only opportunity to them and that's what they should to do.

very much in pity if you are not able to accumulate btc much longer, bitcoin will recover and will be able to make investors who buy in price now can multiply its wealth .. like yanf we see when december of last year, BTC will recover to price original or even more

That's the spirit of a trader. You trade when you have the guts to hold or else you won't earn anything on your investments. Bitcoin will surely revive in one of these days and those who are accumulating now will once again enjoy

BItcoin failed as a payment system, LN is a joke, governments cracking down. It's game over, next stop $8000 after that I see it crashing < $4000

Because you are SHORT on BTC?

What's wrong with 4000? It was $496 19 months ago

It is not easy to be a Bitcoin hodler (do not mix it with holder!). You have to have very strong nervous system and great patience. By the way, this video about the biggest Bitcoin hodlers can inspire those who is not going to sell his coins:

Good.You have did a great job.Hold bitcoin bro.You will have a bright future.I can't assure you that this summer whether the price of bitcoin will rise or not, but I can tell you that bitcoin will soon recover it's bad time and can stand again in the highest profited level..Why are you so aggressive to sell your bitcoin.Your bitcoin can give you a profit.What will fiat do??Fiat just can fulifill your needs.But bitcoin is able enough to fulfill your dreams bro!!

But yet if you want to sell them ,I'll suggest you to hold them until this year end.Because,there was a prediction made that the price will reach to an unbelievable state in the end of this year.So,be patient and wait..It will be better for you.
