How do you think is enough to hold?

[therozaq]

Only speculators hold Bitcoin for a short period only, while real investors hold Bitcoin in the long term over several cycles, not just one cycle.

For the long-term investor, the temporary drop of Bitcoin below 40K$ does not matter at the moment, because they know full well that Bitcoin’s targets are much further, at least 100K and more, so every drop is a new opportunity to buy.

I think Hold is always good for long term, if we want to gain big profit, better do it for long term investment.
As you said  I agree with you, Hold for short is just speculation.
Maybe hold is enough to do, if we  didn't have knowledge and experience as a trader.
Because  a trader is not easy.

Yes, with HODL you will not lose because you are not selling in the near future while in the long term there is certainly hope where bitcoin is higher.
Don't speculate too much I think it's just do it naturally a HODL will not affect any speculation unless he does it for a certain time.
Traders are more complicated, but a professional can do it, otherwise don't do it because the loss will be greater than the profit.

Yeah DCA has been a very helpful method to accumulate bitcoin because
it really enables me to keep buy gradually without the need to entire buy
some huge amount of bitcoin whereby you would start regretting when the price keeps declining.

Investing in the DCA method is very helpful for those who do not have the ability to buy large amounts of Bitcoin at once. But if you invest in DCA method, you have a high chance of profit because I have bitcoins invested in DCA method, even though the price of bitcoin is dumping a lot at present, I don't have to count much loss because I have invested in DCA method. Currently I am investing in DCA method and also investing in this dumping time with some extra funds because I know there might be a dumping before bitcoin halving this dumping might be the last signal of bitcoin halving. But I am using different strategies to increase my bitcoin investment hope I will definitely succeed in bitcoin bull season.

We can't know everyone's wishes; there are those who like to make short-term investments. With good analytical experience, it can certainly be done, and it will definitely be profitable. I agree with you if you really want to hold for a long period of time, if you don't know of other ways that might be profitable, because holding for a long time has been proven to always produce the best results.
So it is true that knowledge is also very necessary to determine what we can do best because knowledge can undeniably lead to deciding what steps to take.

Greetings all and still on new year grove
I would like to know as a bitcoin holder and trader are you expected to hold bitcoin in short period? What if you hold for long and the price dropped to what you don't expect would be happy with your self just for example the bitcoin was already $47k plus heading to 48k and I know people bought at that price hoping it would crossed 50k before this new year but was surprised to see a price reaction making bitcoin dip below 42k though has been moving within $40k to $42k since from first week of January.

We are in bitcoin section , we are talking about the safest and strongest currency in crypto so i think we really care nothing about its dumping instead we will take this as advantage to buy and buy more.

Yeah when we were new here , we have always this feeling but now that we have witnessed so much from bitcoin isn't unfair to still have that fear when there are dumping?

I am waiting for moment like this now because look at the market , its going up again after a small dump yesterday.

Investing and Holding Bitcoin Matters It doesn't matter how much Bitcoin you hold. You can invest a small amount and hold it for a long time and you can gradually increase your investment if you want. There is no rule in investing that once you invest you cannot increase your investment later but here you invest and you can increase your investment. Financial conditions are not always the same, so even if an investor does not have money now, he may have money later, and when he has money later, he can increase the amount of money he invests. So starting investment is the first step and holding is the next step and at one stage of investing and holding you will definitely get an opportunity to grow your investment so focus on investing first.

I've been messing with Btc since 2014 and 1 thing I have noticed is there is always a new ATH. If you or anyone reading this doesn't know what ATH is, it stand for All Time High and refers to Btc price.

I was around when btc hit $2000 and dropped, then a few years later btc hits $20000 and dipped again. A few years later btc hit $60k and dipped. Now we are staying in the $40ks and I bet it gets a new ATH within a couple years.

The question really is, do you have enough patience to hold til it does? It's all a waiting game and anyone who buys now will profit later if they just wait.

Re: How do you think is enough to hold?

It depends on the strategy of the investor.
Some investors are willing to hold Bitcoin for at least 3 years. Some are 5 years, and some are even longer. It all depends on 2 things, how patient you are as an investor and how young or old you are I believe that age is a big factor in how long you will hold Bitcoin.

As for me, I will only hold Bitcoin, and other assets for 4 years at least. Unless we see the market breaking the 4-year cycle, I will always sell all of my assets at the peak of the bull run or near to it and then will re-buy when the bear market happens. There are some investors out there who can't even hold Bitcoin for a year because they're impatient. Investing is all about patience. The longer you hold, the higher the profits, but of course that isn't always the case for some altcoins.

Yes, because investing in Bitcoin requires patience and the capability to hold onto your investment for a long period of time. Investors need to ensure that they have enough funds to invest, and they must be willing to store their investment for years rather than months. Unfortunately, some investors sell their Bitcoin early due to the said reason or sometimes because they need money for other expenses, causing them to miss out on potential gains when Bitcoin reaches new all-time highs.

[Thyplaymaker]

There's a reason why they always mentioned that you should invest with funds you can hold for long, you buying it's dip and selling it when just experience a little change in price ( risen) that no longer investing that would be then called trading. You thinking on investing you should ensure that you are investing for long-term. That would be more beneficiary. Than short-term investments and DCA method as also made it easy for usel to gather different quantities of BTC with going all in (like yah gambling or something) so right now using the DCA strategies would be better.

Bitcoin is currently going through a lot of price ups and downs, this time investors will have an opportunity as the halving is fast approaching. If you look at the chart, you can quickly see that the price of Bitcoin has lost all the way down after each halving and the price of Bitcoin has gone down before the halving. The reason for these dumpings is the opportunity for investors, the lower the price the more bitcoin investors will be able to buy and the more willing they will be to buy. And when the price rises later, he will sell the holding. Thousands of investors are getting their profits.

Because Bitcoin volatility is very high and will continue to be so. And it is indeed a seasonal cycle that there will be times when Bitcoin drops very drastically in the bearish era. And there will be a transition period which makes the market very volatile up and down. In fact, it sometimes depends on the news surrounding BTC itself, including whether there is good news or FUD. But what is certain is that holding is holding. When we have decided to hold Bitcoin, it means that our decision is to invest in Bitcoin for a long period of time to achieve the target price we want, so there is no need to worry about the current price.

Bitcoin holders must brave to hold for a long time, the current won't be a big problem for them. We don't target to sell our Bitcoin at $50k, we target to sell at a new ATH. However, sometimes we allocate some Bitcoin for trading or holding in a short period. It is okay to sell when Bitcoin cross $50k. Then, we will buy again more Bitcoin when there is another dump. However, most Bitcoin must be kept on the wallets for a long term target.

I'm not surprised Bitcoin dropped below $40k. After some pumps in the early of January, there should be a dump to follow.

that's true mate, bitcoin holder must have brave to hold for long term.
For now, I think If we buy bitcoin , we will gain big profit for one year again.
Maybe at Q2 2025 we will see bullish season.

I also don't  believe bitcoin will down below $ 40K again, because current bitcoin is going increase again.
Before halving bitcoin will touch around $ 50K.
But It's just my prediction.

What we experience is just a minor dump, and as what we have speculated, it could be due to some entities trying to manipulate the price because of the ETF news that's why it went as low as $39k'ish.

But it has bounce back again, at $42k this weekend and it seems that before the end of this month, we might see maybe $43k tops. And so if that happens, then it's good to us, at least as you have said, the price is going to increased again and we won't see the price dropping anytime soon unless there is a negative news that will test the market again.
