Topic: what are you Holding for the bull market (Read 229 times)

For long-term investment?
Still Bitcoin is the main choice which must have a much larger portion compared to other coins.
Why Bitcoin? What is the reason?
Yes, because it's Bitcoin, there's no need for any more excuses, we all know what the value and volume of Bitcoin are, right? There is no doubt that investment in Bictoin is the most reliable and preferred so far.

Then what again?
If I just look at the top coins listing. Just like Ethereum, BNB, and also SOL, we now often see their developments being very significant, in terms of price and value, also because technological developments must be able to compete with others who might actually be better.

Well there are so many altcoins with a real world used case you can search them in google or in a different tracking apps like CMC, i think it is really best to hold the kind of altcoins that has a real use case than holding meme coins or new projects coins that still in a floating status to avoid being scammed.

This is the problem of users nowadays, especially the newbies because they now/only focus on the new coins and forget or underestimate the real potential of the old coins.

No mate you shouldn't say "Let's say" but you must definitely do it. The real investment are the old coins (not the new coins). They are only like a novelty item here. I don't know what's dynamic staking but something tells me that it was only like a hybrid type of staking? Though that's better, since I can see a big risk in staking long-term. I'd rather hold long-term on my own because I can decide to sell if I needed the money unexpectedly or if I see that there are tragic events coming.

I agree that short term traders do have some issues, they should not really consider that as a big deal, I think it would not be a good idea. I get that it may feel like a big deal at times, but that doesn't mean that we should sell, just because it dropped.

Those short term traders should be fine too, if they make a loss now from short term trading, they should try to recoup that loss from short term trading when it goes back up, that would be something they can benefit, or short it and hope that it keeps going down, basically do anything you want but make short term trade that profits you. Long term investors do not have to worry about it at all, because they know that they are going to hold and make some money from it anyway.

Great strategy. I agree on holding an extra USDT and making sure you are always ready when the time comes to buy cheap altcoins.

And, holding the crypto that you trust will make you a lot of profit is great and I think buying a lot of altcoins is not good, and much better to focus on DCAing the altcoin that you think will soar up the value in the future.

It is impossible for me to do research every day on every project, especially for new projects that come in. It is very impossible for me who has a real job and a busy family, so the easy thing for me to do is just hold the altcoin that is at the top listed in coinmarketcap because I don't have much time for that

Investors have different motive when come to holding. Like according to news yesterday as bitcoin price comes down these days, many investors count their loses in millions and I see that all those investors are short term investors. Like me I am a long term investors and I am investing for long term so the price drop didn't affect because I was not planning to sell my coins now.
And also for those who plan well in the correctional period and invest in short term investment then that person will still make good gain from the investment. Always plan well before investing in it whether long or short term holding.

I always invest 10% of my total wealth in crypto.  And from here keep 40% investment on Bitcoin and 10% ETH, 10% BNB and 10% SOL and hold the remaining 30% USDT to take any new coin opportunity.  Good amount of profit can be made from new coins in short period of time especially meme coins but they also have high risk so I always keep 10% of my total budget in high risk so that loss from there is not big loss and profit is big profit from small investment.  can get  Because meme coins have pumped 1000x for a long time.

DRN,PEPE,SOL,MEAR

It's really hard to tell because others might say that you are shilling for certain coins. But if you are going to look at the top 10 altcoins right now, then I would say that it could be a good gauge to hold them long term.

And then look for the next crazy hype, like AI theme projects and then some meme coins in your portfolio.

At least you will enjoy the best of both worlds, pretty solid altcoins and then some hype and meme coins that might give you more x returns in the future. So it's a win win situation for you.

A simple tip from me is to constantly remember to Take Profits rather than Taking Pictures. That is what many rookie investors and traders did because they were overtrading and frequently forgot to sell their portfolios at the highest price. 

When a dump occurs, the bearish trend eats up their unrealized profits. I believe that this is the most common mistake made by cryptocurrency investors. 

Lots of newbie investors cared about taking images to show off their portfolios, but they simply forgot to push their sell button to secure their profit from their investment. 

Most of the traders will use the way of trading like yourself,because we know bitcoin will never make us to loss the funds.We can trust the bitcoin for the trading,because the bitcoin was survive in the market for the long period of time.The second option to the trading was move to the ethereum,because Ethereum also surviving in the market for the longer period.So the flow of investment in this two coins was more compared to the other coins in the cryptocurrency market.The trader should use the right time to buy this two coins to make good profit.

My only tip would be to set a goal and a plan.

The reason why we all have different strategies and approach in investing is because we all have different goals. Personally I think what works for me best is to put most of money into projects with highest marketcaps in which I can hold for a longer time. Another investor might not so as much agree to this and that's okay.

They might want to earn more in just short amount of time hence trading with new coins. It really depends on what type of investor you want to be.

Our time invested is worth it. The bull market is definitely the undeniable moment to claimed enormous profits from the market, we raised our hands to be on the winning side and knowing every solid spots to follow. Altcoin ought to be promising at our ends and also know what's important for everyone. Investment should be our priority in the market and we should know what's coming in for us.

Most of my holdings is with Bitcoin and the top altcoins, though I also have meme tokens but I'm planning to dispose it as early as now while i still have the paper profit. The market is unpredictable and having a good coins on your wallet can at least give you the peace of mind and assure you that these coin can support you even on a bear market. Timing the market is also very important, buy good coins at the right price, there should be no rush for this.

Well, you already said it, before investing in altcoin, the investor should make a quality research about the project and also take note if the coin or token has a real utility and what future does the project have. So many altcoin may seem assuring but after investing in them, you will discover that it is not just worth it. So, before you invest, make a proper research and also invest majorly on coins that has their own blockchain, such as solana, Matic, bnb, AVAX, etc.

BTC - 50%
SOL
XRP

Holding on to coins that don’t have good prospects is the biggest gamble you can do in crypto investment. You should have done thorough analysis on a project before you should start holding them for profitability. Projects that are worth it are worth keeping and not just any coin that comes around with hype and without any good sign of success in them.


Very nice suggestion but I will not go for 15% allocation for Ethereum only but will split it between Ethereum, Solana and BNB. These are the three top coins I have great hope on after bitcoin. I will now allocate the remaining 35% to other coins including meme coins. While diversifying into different altcoin, i will also take note of the ones that have good prospects rather than just investing in any that comes my way. Even for a meme coin, i will have to do some research about them before putting any money into it.

Let's say that i snub new coins and focus on the classic i.e. eth, bnb, matic, solana but not a classic hold rather i would say a dynamic staking

Good question, above it all, ensure you are investments inclined rather than being sentimental about holding. Most people in the cryptocurrency world would always be talking about holding but this has never been replicated in the results most times, while the earlier adopters seem very lucky. If care is not taken, while investors are holding for too long they might lose back their initial profits. I've known this for long and I made sure that I smartly invested in some crypto assets rather than holding, but I still hold some.

However, the result is that I regret some of the holding decisions, but the ones I invested in in such a way that I invest and divest intermittently based on my chart reading, I am happy about them. This is why I would like you to be smart here, holding has its disadvantages as well, but one thing that is sure is to know the right time to buy and divest, this is what I will be turning entirely to now to avoid some earlier mistakes.

Some of the cryptos that had earned me more than 6 times profits have reduced it to about 3x now, and the painful thing is that I was just trying to hold and not that I didn't see the trouble coming when the market was trying to reverse or have a major retracement. This is why we should be the friend of our higher timeframe charts above anything else and invest/divest as they advise.

The ones to keep for the Bullish market will be - Bitcoin 80% the rest are altcoins that are in the bag and some that I am still monitoring for the short term because it will not be brave for the long term.

It's true that every investor has a different approach where they have a choice for the coins they invest in, there are investors who are always looking for new projects where token prices will increase many times but behind it all there is a big risk where prices will fall at any time, that's why I don't dare in the long run for altcoins.

My tip is to never put all your money in any altcoin, but it would be safer if you have a 50% portfolio in bitcoin.

Mostly majors — BTC/ETH/SOL.

And the ETH and SOL are in lending/vault protocols(that are going to have a token airdrop in the future) to increase risk and hence potential profit. The rest, in specific smaller projects I'd rather not share because people here need to do their own research and not blindly follow people's portfolios online.

I was frustrated from the last price crash that I sold the remaining coins to USD and am staking it to earn some interest. The largest value of coin I still hold is of bitcoins.
Of the remaining, I hold mostly memecoins, a little bit of shiba Inu, pepe, bonk, bome, dofwifhat and some others. Solana comes next, I still have a good amount of Solana.
The next coin I hold is Ethereum, I bought it with expectation of rise after the SEC approval for ETF but it's not doing great. I do plan to get some other coins as the market stabilizes or goes on an increasing trend.

Over 50% of my crypto hodling is definitely Bitcoin and no need to overemphasize the reason for this because it's the king of cryptocurrency. Coming down to altcoins, it's only top cryptos and they are Ethereum, BNB and Solana, then some percentage on Shiba Inu and pepe. I'm not holding any new projects for the long term, they're too risky for me, despite how promising that some of them looks in terms of giving ROI in the bull run, I can only gamble the amount that I can afford to loose on the short term on some new projects.

Holding is for me the best, and the safest strategy when you want to invest for your future. However, holding for a very long time could lead to some missed opportunities as well. I'll give an example.

Let's say you bought some Bitcoins in 2018 when we are on a bear market phase and decided to hold it for let's say 5 years. If that's your strategy, you will miss on the potential profits that you can get during the 2021 bull run. I know that holding is a good strategy, but holding alone isn't enough. We must know when to let go of our assets when we need it, and that's my strategy.

As a believer of 4-year cycle, I only hold all of my assets for a span of 4 years. I will buy during the bear market, will continue accumulate for the next 2 years and then will sell it during the bull run. Like what you said, research is always needed if we want to pick the projects that are good for long term. As for the coins that I'm holding for the bull market, more than half of it is on Bitcoin, then some are altcoins like Arbitrum, Cosmos, etc. No meme coins, no risky projects. All researched, and I believe all of them will give me huge profits coming the bull run.

Everybody will have different bags but what I would suggest is a more than 50% allocation to Bitcoin, a 15% allocation to Ethereum & 35% you can split between semi established alts & speculative alt & memecoins. I think you’ll do well by doing what I’ve described.

It's said often that holding is the best when it comes to planning for the future. Investors are focusing on projects with strong fundamentals, real-world use cases, and active development teams. Conducting thorough research daily just to arrive at a good project worth holding.

However, I'm sure different investors adopt different approach and what they have in their bags are certainly different.
