why they hold it down because now the price of btc when you've got someone buy at a cheap price but when it comes three months it will increase the price of btc so they hold

Everybody is holding bitcoin, as they have trust in bitcoin. They know that it has got a very high potential and it would start to increase soon.

Hi Forum
I would like to know what real value you think HODLing adds. What is the point of just holding bitcoin till moon and lambo ? This is cryptocurrency, why aren't we using this as currency? If we all just hold then this whole thing takes on a completely different business model, we lose all real value that it has as currency and it just becomes a full on speculative bubble.

Bitcoin and other currencies have no value if nobody uses them. So I would like to encourage everyone to spend and replace instead of just blindly holding. We won't see merchant adoption skyrocketing if nobody buys stuff with bitcoin. And yes I know it can go up in value, but why not just spend your BTC and EFT some fiat over to your local exchange and replace the BTC you spent ?
If any businesses accept BTC or other currencies it is our duty to support them extra for it and use cryptocurrency.


That's cuz the market it's going down to get a abrupte raise and get stable when the cryptocurrencies are more globalized
and nobody want to lose money (well, but it shouldn't be extremely "HOLD")

people will start to use transaction coins day to day when it becomes easy and cheap to do so. otherwise they will continue to use FIAT. this is bound to happen though as crypto goes mainstream but not yet and btc may not be the coin that does it. there are problems with btc being a day to day use coin. so i think btc will remain an investment and trading coin for quite some time. It will break into society for large purchases first because of the blockchains advantages re fees. houses , boats whatever.

in my opinion the reason the investment holds their bitcoin is primarily the reason because it is definitely bitcoin is in a state of descent and they already know also that bitcoin will soon rise to provide a satisfactory advantage for them

People expect Bitcoin to become worth a lot in the long run. They are not just holding an asset, they are keeping it for the long term gain

There are a lot of people who are replacing the bitcoins to local exchange. The crypto us booming becs. People are in good financial possesion. The countries economy is increasing due to unemployment reduction. We can now buy our needs. There are  Some who are holding becs. They want more profits.

By the way seeing how the value changes so fast, how can people start seeing bitcoin as a currency for everyday spends and not as an investment?

Been hodling for about 5 years and the money I have today I won't be able to save in 10 years. So hodling has proven to be a good long-term strategy for me.

Where do the bitcoins come from?
Would you keep an extra program on your computer that does not give you anything? Hardly. Therefore, the program "encourages" those users who keep the whole system on their computers. It encourages them to issue virtual "points" (or points), which are called bitcoins.

That is, this is an interesting phenomenon. The program does nothing useful. It "lies" on users' computers and gives them virtual money for the fact that it lies there. At the same time the program issues its points for a reason.

The whole system has a limitation. It can give out only 21 million virtual points (bitcoins), and none more. At the same time every day new and new users connect to the program. And do you know what is the only action programmed for this system? It complicates the reception of bitcoins if the user gets too many. Or vice versa, it simplifies if they suddenly become smaller.

Some people does not have the time to do trading because of the nature of their work, so they prefer holding to a potential coin rather than nothing at all, which is a great idea for as long as bitcoin and eth in top of their list.

If any businesses accept BTC or other currencies it is our duty to support them extra for it and use cryptocurrency.

People hold because they believe that the coin they are holding is undervalued at that particular moment. E.g. If they're holding BTC at $10,000, that means that they believe it will be worth a great deal more than $10,000 in future. At which point they will either re-evaluate their holding or continue to hold to wait for another checkpoint.
