Topic: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN NO ONE SELLS BUT HODL? - page 21. (Read 1603 times)
The market needs to have a flow or a constant flow of transactions in order to keep the coins alive. If everyone holds, it will indeed make the market non active. This will jeopardize the future of the market as well as the coins. But the dilemma comes when the market is in a dip, it's either hold or sell. For that, this is where the strategic thinking comes to place.
I have been monitoring so many post about HODL! HODL!! HODL!!! I am a victim of that but I have sat down and analyzed something. We should all know what will happen when we all decide to HODL. This will be one of the deadliest that will ever happen in cryptocurrencies. When we all decide to HODL I think the markets will go down and the green markets we want will never com. Also BTC will die when we all decide to HODL. I think we can at the same time SELL and BUY to keep our greatest cryptocurrency alive. I stand to be corrected and also we can add some to it as to what will happen.
I Think it should be balance between hold and sell. Because if no one sell their crypto's I think the market is very affected. The supply can not be rotated it's all staggered in one places. And if no one will buy also the crypto's will die because there is no use. So again it should be balanced so that the cycle of cryptos in the market will be moved as normal it's vice-versa. Thats the rule of supply and demand.
Currency is for the exchange of goods and services. Why then should you hold yours without giving it out? You can't "eat" your money and get satisfied. If everyone holds it, then there wouldn't be any benefits in crypto and hence no need to invest.
Why are there still people asking this?
It is obvious that the price will go up, i do not understand why there are so many people that are giving bad answers to this, because it is the simple rule of offert/demand.

This is simply impossible in practice, but if you want to talk about what would happen in theory, then the price would basically be a flat line. If you want to see how that would look like, just look at a dead exchange graph for example BTC-E:

As you see, it's a perfect flat line. This is impossible, because equilibrium never happens in markets, unregulated ones at least, as there is always some buying and selling action.
I agree that everyone electing to HODL is impossible in practice but I don't share the point of view that it would culminate in a flat line in theory, because two scenarios are possible:https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/btce/btcusd

1. if Hodlers are unwilling to sell, the coin would become scarce and buyers will naturally bid up the price;
2. if Hodlers are willing to sell, but no buyer is willing to buy, that's where there's a problem, if not a threat.
I agree with those who don't believe it's possible to HODL for everybody at the same time. It's against human nature. Besides, there have been lots of newbies after the last year's shocking growth, so don't panic, keep on hodling! 
Rather, at first the market is simply frozen, and then it will fall down with a certain acceleration (depending on the closure of projects). I advise everyone to read about kits (dudes who with their wallet can turn all the charts))
Its really not possible for everyone to HODL at the same time, ther are so many people that into FX and most people are new and the currency they mostly use is bitcoin, now there are people who would want to sell to those set of people.Now another question we should ask ourselves is, if everybody is holding and the price falls down wont that be a bad business transaction?

If everybody hodl there will be now offer and demand will go it's like an auction , if everybody godl the buyers must raise thier price to hope to get a coin and that's how you crypto that you hodl will go up in value
When no one sells and there are more buys than sells the price starts go up, because buyers try to put a higher price because no one wants to sell for the previous one. That is the way that it works, and it has always been like this.
Now the market of crypto currency is based on supply and demand. A fluctuation in supply or the demand will lead a rise or fall in the prices. Therefore if all the investors holds their coin at the same time, eventually the prices will fall. To keep the demand and supply at a balance everyone should buy and sell coins.
Yes. That may never come if we all JUST hold since it will cause an extremely low (or zero) volume market. That is "deadly"
The best thing we could do is hold 50% of our portfolio and trade (buy/sell) with the other 50%. That will both help us and balance the market.

something's when the market is not doing well some user choose to keep their transaction on hold, it can be useful for a certain time but if you keep doing it for long then the bitcoin market will lost it lifeness, for keeping this market active users must have to continue their trading otherwise situation will never be changed
that way is true. we do not have to be quiet and most have bought it when the price down until now is a little even no one wants to buy. and buyers do not want to take risks even though the market will be silent and dead
I think it still impossible to hold bitcoin for long term, we have daily needs and there are only few merchants that accept bitcoin or cryptocurrency, people will always sell their bitcoin for fiat, if there are many merchants that accept bitcoin then we don't need to trade it for fiat but for goods then we can keep hold it as our bitcoin for long term. And fact that people still afraid about it's volatility, when bitcoin price fall then panic selling will be happen, it's not a bad thing because there will be panic buying as well.
Though it is so impossible that "no one will sell", but just in the case that the scenario is that, the market will probably boost and will pump high because of that. The investors will now then be eager to sell their btc and other coins as well.
Well in that case bitcoin price will increase if no one sell their bitcoin but hold because their will be a lack of supply so the price will rise.Bitcoin price varies on the demand and supply in the market.
Then the supply and demand gap will increase Bitcoin prices because so many people want to buy without the seller
If we all HODL, it can actually go either way. But most likely the price will increase since there will be no people selling for others who wants to buy. So basically, as long as the demand is there, buyers will increase their offer so that HODLers will most likely sell their coins. If there is no demand, then there is no point in selling since no one is buying.
This isn't true, there's no way to go both ways if EVERYONE (and yes, we're talking about everyone here) is HODLing. If no one is selling, or just for the reasons of this theory -- if only the NEW coins are being sold, then you're going to see a large spike in prices. As people are going to have to pay higher and higher amounts for these coins as the demand is going to be high for the small amount of coins that are being sold.
I'm also assuming a given that demand is still high for buying as it is right now.
So, the price would skyrocket. But this isn't a realistic way to look at the market.
To have a price or value for a commodity, that commodity must be on sale for an interested customer or consumer to agree to or disagree to a set price or value by the owner. Through this the two parties (buyer and seller) then decide a favorable price for the commodity. In your case if we alll decide to hold without selling then bitcoin will become valueless since no one will have the opportunity to exchange cash for it.
