What would you want to have and hodl for 1 year?

[philipma1957]

I thought about this a long time. Having to hodl the btc or the 100k for a year makes this a tough call. 

I think I would take the cash.

[electronicash]

well i'm not sure if i could hold $100k in my account without thinking of buying something while its as good as cash already.
if its still BTC, i wouldn't be thinking of it as a real money yet. and i would be hoping its value will still be more than $100k by the end of the year so i would choose 1BTC for me.

yes it would be a tough call especially in this economy where everyone needs money. but for some of us who can put all their hopes in 1 BTC, i think one will hold it til it gets $1M.

Easily 1 bitcoin. One year would be april of 2025, and I am pretty sure that it will reach 100k by that point. Plus, what happens after 1 year? I mean if I still get to keep it, then I will keep it, if I do not and given the money then I would just use that money to buy btc back. If I only get to keep it if I am right, then I am still sticking with 1 btc over 100k for sure. I am not saying I am right, there is no way of knowing what it will be, maybe it will be 200k maybe 50k, who knows? We are all making speculations here and I think this is mine, I like to see it go over 100k in less than 1 year hopefully.

For me I chose the option “I would want 50k and 0.5 btc”.

Of course, 100K$ is a very good price for me to get Bitcoin profits after a long hold, but I am greedy for more, perhaps 125-150K$.

Before this time, I was thinking of selling Bitcoin at the price of 100K$, but given the current market situation and the amount of optimism among everyone, especially after Halving, I think my thinking has begun to change and perhaps we will get a price higher than that.

But since I don't like risk either, it would be a suitable option for me to sell the half and hold the half.

[philipma1957]

yeah when I look forward to april 2025 I see more than 100k but you never know so the split the baby idea makes sense.

I voted for 1 BTC

To be honest, I wasn't not able to hold that kind of BTC, almost though if I have sold my altcoins that time and turn it into BTC. Another reason is that we are in the bull run so we all know that BTC can go very high during this cycle and every one is seeing like 1 BTC = $150,000. So that is big difference, you just have the patience and continue to HODL for at least 1 year from now. But that is easy if you look long term.

A year from now, of course Bitcoin... then for 1 year from 2025... I choose cash (because the only two options you gave)... the Bitcoin cycle is currently bullish and will remain bullish until the end of 2024 ( This is my prediction, make your own predictions with the risk you can handle)....

So, the choice between cash or Bitcoin with a certain time limit is really based on the moment.

A technical question your asked here. If I take 1btc,and in one year time the price is not up to 100k, I lose. If I take 100k,and keep it in the bank for 1 year for interest, I think I would have more than 100k. But if I will just keep the 100k in my possession with interest, by next year the value would depreciate. I am just confused.

I think this depends on your financial condition mate. As long as you have a stable income from the real world, then I recommend holding Bitcoin as long as you can. The $100k price might be best to stay on until it is reached.

But if your financial condition is unstable and you need money in the near future then you can sell some of the Bitcoin assets you own, so that when the price rises you still have Bitcoin left.

well you're right is kinda confusing , but I think I will go with 1 BTC , and hold for a year I believe Bitcoin is going to surge to the price range of 100k and even more than . And that time I can choose to sell 0.5 BTC from my holding which is $50k , while I continue my holding with the remaining 0.5 BTC for longer-term. Because Bitcoin is coin with the potential of growth.

here lets make this simple.

100k in 100 dollar bills in a box that you can not open for 1 year. it is frozen
1 btc in a trezor wallet in a box that you can not open for 1 year. it is frozen

after 1 year passes you can access what ever you picked.


it is a simple idea 💡, but hard to decide which one to get.


it is why I gave the hedge choice. of .5 btc and 50k


once the year passes if you go btc maybe you have 65 k coin maybe you have 115k coin.

if you go cash you will certainly have exactly 100k cash. more certain but could be a bad pick if btc is 150k.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Personally, I would think about whether to play safe, taking the mixed option, but the most profitable for sure is 1BTC. At the point where we are, the most likely is that the price of bitcoin will be at $150,000 or so in a year, although I suppose that the option instead of imaginary would be real, I would end up opting for the mixed option because you never know for sure what is going to happen. This way if things go wrong you wouldn't do as badly as if you had chosen the 1BTC option but if the price goes to the moon you wouldn't get as profitable either.

I mean, it still doesn't change the fact that I rather hold btc because if I am wrong then I can still keep holding btc and be 100k+ eventually. Sure if I am wrong, I could buy more than 1 btc with the 100k so that would be still bad, but its not like end of the world, I could still hold long term and get into 100k+ range eventually. But if I am right, I will have more than 100k without a doubt, and that's the reason why I would prefer BTC, because in one of them there is a long term solution to making a mistake, but in the other there is none.

I would say a better calculation is still "you are given a choice, if you pick the right one you get the keep the money, if you are wrong then the money is taken from you", if that was the question then I would seriously consider my answer, because then there is something to lose.

It actually depends on the time to have 1 BTC or 100k. If it is in the early of bullrun season, I will prefer to hold 1 BTC because it will be easily to multiply the value in few months. But if it is in bearish season, I prefer to hold 100k because it will be very helpful to help me to fulfill any daily needs. It also can be used to be the capital for investment.

Re: What would you want to have and hodl for 1 year?

It will depend on the time somebody lets me decide which I will be holding for a year.

For instance, somebody let me decide whether I will be holding 1 BTC or 100k in Cash NOW, for sure I will prefer to hold 1 BTC because of the fact that we might see the crypto market on a bull run, and potential profit would be much higher compared to just holding 100K in cash that is slowly going down in value because of inflation.

However, if somebody will let me decide whether I will be holding 1 BTC or 100k Cash after the bull run, I would obviously hold the cash. Yes, the cash goes down in value because of inflation, but Bitcoin's price goes down significantly during the bear market, and for me it's better to hold cash during that time.

I picked 1 BTC as well, but TBH, it will depend on the time. The half-half option is a safer choice, but I would want to maximize the profit at least if that's possible.
