It is really clear enoughf that the market is always unstable and holding is really a great strategy on crypto, but people sometimes cannot control thier emotion specially when the price of the crypto coin drop. I already experience the dip last year and if i encash my asset i can surely loss that time. So i still believe in holding for a long term.

Whenever there is a dip or a hike(rise) in price, it just breeds panic among investors, the rush of whether to sell off and make profit, or to hold and see if making profits is feasible.

But technically you're correct in a way, if you still hold your coins, you have not actually incurred a loss or earned any profit.

If we can manage to hold our coins during bear season, it absolutely nothing we could lose but in the way that we should have to sacrifice sometimes for the seek that we can move our investment. As to know that holding isn't a guarantee to save from losing especially when we are holding those dead coins. better to sell them and re-invest into the other coin.

Yup, it all depends on what coins we hold, if it feels that the coin has no more potential to return, it's better to sell it because it will only add value to the loss if it continues to hold it. Unlike the top coins that we hold, to sell it definitely requires careful consideration, because usually the price will go up again.

In some cases short term is more reasonable. But it makes sense. The major part of my investement is long term and I believe I won't lose.

This is very true and i have personally experienced same situation. I bought some btc and other altcoins when I first joined in early 2018. Since then, my investment kept dwindling and I decided to leave it untouched. Just few weeks ago, my investment was just as I invested and I'm still not touching until I accrue some profits

The reason I believe I haven't lost even a single penny is because I believe you cannot loose when you don't encash.

Therefore I still believe holding for the long term can actually help you .

When the price of ETH was 0.10 BTC, I watched a lot of videos on youtube and in those videos or saw people say they bought a lot of ETH for the price of 0.10 because the price would go up so much, look more than a year now. ETH is 0.021 and it is dropping and from what I see the price has no chance of rebounding to 0.10 BTC. Bitcoin is a good investment, but you should always have a good strategy even if it's Hold for many years.

Hey

I once came across a time when I was unsure where the market is going to take us , thus I brought at a very high price , unfortunately the price came down as quickly as it climbed up.

Exactly mate because the volume of our currency remains until we sell them off so the safest place is our wallet staying our cryptocurrency
This is my stand ever since I read others panicking and scared of what will happen to their holdings.and also this is what I’ve learned from what happen in 2018 when the market deep badly but recovery on the next year

You will lose the moment you sell your coin after you did panic seeing that your invested money is continuing to devaluate, but if you are wise and you are just holding even you don't see any progress from your investment sooner momentum will change up and bring profits in time that the rise happened again.

You cannot lose when you don't encash, but your portfolio is actually decreased.
So besides you think you can hold longer, why not choose to sell it when you realize that it will dump for more. You can get a little bit of profit through it.

You are right,but it's still very frustrating to see the price go down.BTC went from 12,7K USD to 10K for less than a week and I'm constantly thinking that I have lost more than 25% of my btc holdings.My mind is playing tricks on me,I guess.

Keep calm and HODL until the price hits the moon. Cool

You just missed the opportunity to profit but I guess that is OK as long as you haven't move any amount of Bitcoin from your wallet, But that big chance to get it all is already there but you can not change the fact that you still lost on that time frame where you can profit from it, you surely haven't lost anything but you just lost profiting at that moment when the price exceeds everyone's expectations, but I guess you are not regretting anything back then so it is alright as well, but I think you should focus on the now because you can not get that back and try to get a double profit in the upcoming new all-time high.

Too much buts in your post Grin

Not everybody wants to trade actively. There are many who just wants long term gains which is why some of them totally forget about their investments for a long period of time.
I believe trading actively does give a good amount of profit if done right but long term investments are not bad at all. In fact I have myself invested a portion of my money in a long term investment (obviously in BTC).
So until you are gaining profits from your investment which gives you satisfaction I think it should be okay doing that.

No. You are not intelligent if you are blindly holding on to a cryptocurrency for an infinite period of time. Intelligent people are the ones who encash their assets at the right time. Bitcoin is not a physical asset, and it is a digital asset. IMO, any such asset will be having a limited lifespan. Now I can't predict whether Bitcoin will survive for another 10 years, 100 years or 1000 years. But I firmly believe that at some point in the future, another cryptocurrency or even another product will be able to replace Bitcoin.

Right now, we have more than 10,000 cryptocurrencies in existence. A simple majority of them are no longer actively traded or mined, meaning that they don't have any worth. Do you believe that holding such assets for the long term could have been an intelligent step? Also, are you sure that something like this will never happen to Bitcoin in the distant future?

When you see the chart and set "All" you will see the peak so it's great for us to keep hold until it reach another "guarantee" peak !

I've done it over 5 years and it still happening

You don't loose if you don't encash.
We'll I agreed because even if you buy at a high price if you are patient enough you can make profit.
Although we should avoid buying when the price graph is expected to go down but that doesn't mean your final fate is loss.
All the best to you.

if you consider BTC as it is (a sequence of bits and bytes created over the blockchain) your sentence is correct IF you got your BTC for free.
Holding and encashing have two different meaning, just ask yourself why are we holding? 90% of the holders will tell you 2 different things: to support this technology and to get more gains based on the investment made.
So holding goes in pair with the market value, encashing is ignoring the market value (to a certain degree).

Everything is relative, depends when did you buy your coins and on what price, what is your goal and what does long term means to you. For some long term is a 6 months, for some 6 years. But of course that it isn't wise to sell at lower price than you bought, that only mean you will accumulate loss and that you made the mistake at the very begininig - you have probably bought the coins with money that you need.

Theorically you are right and i made same mistake when i entered the market.my lost is %70 and its too late to sell now.it was a small amount so its not a big deal but what if itwas a huge? If you dont accept the lose and hold, you misses other oppurtinities and there is no guarantee to back the price you bought.

True holder don't care if it takes many years to take profit from a high purchase, long-term holders will be the one who will be rich because bitcoin price will gradually grow due to mass adoption.
