You said before that entering the full seed phrase each time you sign would be tedious. The QR code solves that issue. For your significant HODL stack, one where you accumulate but rarely if ever spend, the tedium is irrelevant. For the wallet where you frequently spend with a smaller stack, use QR codes.
Bitcoin is not crypto. TA is 100% BS. Nobody knows shit about fuck when it comes to market/trading. MACRO is informative but terrible at timing. Prefer owning your own BTC but unless you have specific needs and up until a certain sum, buying an ETF is fine. Just HODL. Ignore influencers. Their interests are not aligned with yours. Bitcoin is disruptive tech. People are afraid of change and will fight it. Spin up a full node if you can. Never invest more than you can afford to lose. BTC is the best form.of money ever, but this does not mean humans are smart enough to realise this and not take advantage of Satoshi Nakamoto gave us. Never advertise how much BTC you have, nothing good ever comes from doing so. Don't push BTC ideology on to others but explain and educate those willing to listen. Hold tight! It's going to be a wild ride.
You seem like you HODL and have diamond hands. 💎 ✋️
Not quite just now HODL cash
They are going after the people that read the words, made a decision for a goofy bitcoin only wallet focused on security, and got like 12 bits instead of 256. I’m homeless and unemployed and I need to raise money to eat. Almost Sport is hosting my collection because like many, I prepared, I practiced, I did it right and still can’t win. That preparation and testing the backups and going air gap etc makes HODLing an almost sport, and sometimes we lose a game. Can we save the season ? This hits the HODL community, these are diamond hand wallets and they probably don’t even know it’s ongoing and they are at risk yet. I’m using my unopened backup cold card, and included stickers as inspiration for a new line of parody merchandise that will hopefully help get the word out on the street so normal people see us and ask their bitcoin friend if they have heard about it. How did the company that tried to do one thing well screw up and not use the hardware they were so proud of ? https://shop.almostsport.org/collections/not-your-keys How did it all go so wrong for so long ? Did precisely nobody look at the code as part of the QC, no automated tests or manual testing ? Just advertising and good vibes with GPT 3 making it fast and easy ? I hope they post a few more times before their lawyers tell them to stop paying for a website when every penny needs to go to funding the defense team, and an exit strategy.
What i noticed on here is that there is a lot of new people who are going through their first bear market. While it has been dark, a lot have been keeping the faith and rallying behind Bitcoin telling others to HODL!
The dudes who stole it can't sell them yet? If they try and sell there is a risk they will get busted? Therefore they have to HODL? Omg, is this good for Bitcoin? No, no it's not, calm your farm.
I’m sure there is the kind of people out there that HODL and ignore the fud and noise and check back in 4 years and is oblivious to the Coldcard fiasco They are gonna be in for a rude awakening
Don't worry about it. Im sure its secure. Just HODL.
What really makes me uncomfortable is how much of this apparently comes down to luck. When I searched YouTube for “the best cold wallet,” all the usual Bitcoin talking heads were recommending Trezor. So I bought a Trezor. I wasn’t comparing entropy generation methods, RNG implementations or researching whether I should be rolling fucking dice. I assumed that reputable hardware wallets from established companies were fundamentally designed to do the same thing: securely hold my Bitcoin. Had I gone all-in six months later, those exact same YouTubers could easily have been recommending Coldcard instead. So from my perspective, I basically got lucky on a coin flip. And whenever you point this out, the response from some Bitcoin people is always: “You should have done more research.” But how much research are normal people realistically expected to do? I understand Bitcoin. I understand self-custody. I understand why keeping significant amounts on an exchange is a bad idea. That doesn’t mean I should also be expected to become an expert in cryptography, entropy and random number generation before buying a hardware wallet. I like cars. I don’t need to understand the combustion engine at an engineering level before buying one. I expect the manufacturer to build a safe product and give me clear instructions on how to use it safely. Apparently with Bitcoin, though, I’m “lazy” because I didn’t somehow discover that I should consider physically rolling dice to generate my seed. How the fuck is that obvious? You don’t know what you don’t know. If I search “best hardware wallet,” buy one of the most recommended products, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and move my Bitcoin into self-custody, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to believe I’ve done the responsible thing. If there’s another layer of security that requires me to understand RNG, entropy, dice rolls, air-gapped signing and obscure attack vectors, fine. I’m willing to learn about it. But stop pretending this stuff is obvious. Most people don’t want Bitcoin security to become their second fucking job. They want to buy a reputable device, follow the instructions, secure their Bitcoin and HODL. And if Bitcoin is ever going to reach hundreds of millions more people, that needs to be enough.
HODL for thee, but not for me.
These guys make it so hard to HODL
Yeah stand back guys, any bad news about crypto is fake, just bots and paid shills! Anything positive is 100% legit HODL DIAMOND HANDS lmao I’m so glad I never got into this trash
HODL!!! has done a lot of fucking people in
Do you actually do transactions? Or are you a HODL for eternity person? If you don't actually use your coins, a hardware wallet isn't very useful. It's purpose is to sign tx's offline. If you aren't singing tx's, it's pointless. I don't ever use my bitcoin, it just sits there. There are a dozen other coins that are far better for day to day business that I actually use. I store my BTC with no device, its just a seed phrase and an address. Years and years ago when I bought BTC I downloaded a mobile wallet, secured the seed phrase, sent my BTC to the wallet, deleted the app, and wiped the phone. People have given me shit for not using a hardware wallet for 10 years now, but my Bitcoin is still safe.
*HOT* Wallet https://wallet.bullbitcoin.com/en https://bluewallet.io/ *COLD* Wallet https://seedsigner.com/ Great recommendation... try to assemble multiple seedsigners, and use casino dices to generate the seed. Hopefully this will prevent these types of hacks.. good luck and HODL
I think we’ll recover. But I also fully expect to see prices dip back below $100k for the next decade or more. The insane gains of the 2010s are not happening anymore. I think the real winners going forward will be those who buy low and sell high - not HODL or DCA.
Post is by: Intrepid-Honey and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1vcj3l3/i_built_hodltight_a_clean_pwabased_holdings/ Hey everyone, I wanted a simple, secure app to track my holdings across my devices, so I built **HODL-Tight**. **What it does:** It lets you manually log your transactions (buys/sells) for different assets to track your average buy price, current portfolio value, and profit/loss in real-time. You can quickly log in using your Google account. I originally created this just for myself to keep things organized. Since it's working well for me, I figured I'd share it—if anyone else finds it useful, feel free to use it! **Key Features:** * **Progressive Web App (PWA):** Easily install and run it on any phone, tablet, or desktop browser. * **PIN-based Encryption:** Your portfolio data is encrypted directly using your custom PIN, keeping your holdings secure and private. * **Minimalist Dashboard:** Clean transaction logging and performance tracking. **Try it out:** [https://hodl-tight.web.app](https://hodl-tight.web.app/) Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

And then what happens if Trezor is hacked tomorrow? This is a huge issue for the BRAND of Bitcoin. Everyday people, the ones we need to join us, have no interest in anything to do with it if the gold standard of safety fails. You know what they don't have to worry about? Losing money. The FDIC and the banks make them whole. Not so with Bitcoin. How many HODL'ers who just lost coins ever come back to Bitcoin after this? My guess is almost none.
BTC HODL DCA mais pas sur ces distributeurs
Pure HODL. I am not sure how to time BTC even if I try.
Caveats: The past does not guarantee the future. These are my opinions only: For those sitting on cash from selling back in Q4 2025, it is probably close enough to start averaging in again soon. If you are pumping the 4-year-cycle, then you don't really have to be all that accurate. Just patient. At this point it is usually a slow bumping along the bottom for like 3 months prior, and 3 months after the theoretical "best" buy date (Oct/Nov 2026?). Even after that it is a gradual climb, nowhere near as steep as it later gets close to the peak. Loads of time to load up, in retrospect. OTOH, selling at the exact peak is almost impossible. But again if you bought near the bottom you will generally do fine even if you miss nailing it. Buying well is much, much easier than selling well. Average in / average out "close" to the expected bottom / top, is what I do. Shotgun vs sniper. Stick to the plan. Ignore price, watch calendar. Look at the big picture. Or else just HODL long term, as that seems to have worked for people who can actually do it. I myself cannot. I am just an average idiot playing with a small portion of my portfolio. Good luck to all.
Congrats, you’ve officially been **orange-pilled**! 🟠 My biggest advice: split your Bitcoin into two bags before emotions take over. Keep a **HODL bag** for the long term, ideally forever and never sell! Then have a **swing bag** for buying low and taking profits when the market becomes overheated, so you don’t watch every gain disappear in the next bear market. Decide your allocation early and stick to it. For buying, I’d combine **Scheduled DCA in a bell-shaped pattern, hence during the bear market you will be** buying more during especially towards the end of the bear market. Also with a separate **Dip DCA** fund for deeper sell-offs. Have an entry and exit plan before and stick to that. [Bitcoin Bear Market DCA Playbook](https://youtu.be/JXvr49ECTuo)
This same conspiracy theory has been spouted every time prices have fallen in the past. "Shaking out retail so that institutions and whales can buy cheaper! HODL!"
Been buying since 2017. At first I looked a ton, I think it’s natural—especially with something so volatile. Now, I look but far less than when I first started. I buy any day we see a drop of 4.80% or higher. I’ve never sold a single sat. I sold 4 properties between 2020-2025, most of those dollars went towards buying more bitcoin. Conviction is a must, which for me, came after studying bitcoin a good amount. If someone lacks the conviction, it really is no different than a buddy telling you to buy a bio tech stock that mooned because he made 2000% in 5 days—the moment that drops everyone who lacks conviction is selling. The key is to buy bitcoin but don’t overbuy. What I mean by “overbuy” is setting yourself up to needing access to that liquidity for something in the short run, inevitably you’ll sell at a loss and you do that enough times you’ll begin to think bitcoin is no good, when in reality your inability to hold longterm is no good and the real issue. Zoom out, stack and HODL.
It if funny how many people keep thinking cycle after cycle that the 4-year cycle is dead, but it is as alive as the 24-hour day. It would be like it going pitch black at noon if the cycle left. HODL
When Bitcoin was trading at a range of $100 to $300 people were stressing about where the "bottom" is. Or between, $1,000 and $3,000. And so on. In 10 years, whether you got in at $30k or $60k will feel the same. A rounding error. DCA stack and HODL. Keep your keys in air gapped cold storage. Live a simple and healthy lifestyle. Don't spend on frivolous shit. Hone your craft. Live your best life. Stop watching charts trying to time the perfect "bottom". That's an illusion. Fiat is wasting away. There is no "cashing out". Bitcoin is the exit.
Welcome! A few things I’d tell my younger self: 1) Learn **why Bitcoin exists** before worrying about trading. Read *The Bitcoin Standard* and spend some time with the Bitcoin whitepaper. 2) Buy Bitcoin on a reputable exchange (I’d pick reputable ones like Binance, Coinbase etc), then move it to a **hardware wallet** once your stack becomes meaningful. Don’t leave large amounts on exchanges. Always move them into hardware/cold wallet (ie ledger). 3) Never store your seed phrase digitally (photos, cloud storage, email, password managers). Write it down or use a metal backup, and keep it somewhere only you can access. 4) Don’t rush into trading. Most beginners would have done better simply buying and holding Bitcoin than trying to outsmart the market. Finally, my approach is simple: **DCA regularly, but become more aggressive during bear markets.** When fear is high and everyone is saying Bitcoin is dead, especially the phase we’re going through right now. That’s usually when I’m buying the hardest. You don’t need to catch the exact bottom, just keep stacking sats and think in 5–10 year timeframes. Be prepared to HODL your bitcoin for at least 1 full 4 year cycles. [Bitcoin Bear Market DCA Playbook](https://youtu.be/JXvr49ECTuo)
Safe is a relative term. Keeping assets on an exchange have its strengths, but also many weaknesses. There is very low risk that you mess up and loose access to.yoir coins. There is a risk that your account is stolen and drained. There is a risk that the exchange is hacked and goes bankrupt There is a risk that you get stuck in KYC/AML regulations. But that risks is very small when you DCA and use an well known exchange that is certified for your region of the world. If you are HODL then the best option is a bit of both DCA on an exchange, and transfer to a personal cold storage every 6 months or at least yearly. The first couple of years its perfectly fine to keep all on the exchange until you have a significant saving that varrants the trouble of setting up and securing a personal cold storage. Transferring from DCA saving more often is counter productive. Increaes both cost and risks.
My strategy is to DCA and HODL. I have panic sold before and regretted it. I now find it's easier to not sell early when I actually have a plan.
Congrats! :) Def take a very long and clear minded look at your ultimate plan. Can you afford it lose this money? Can you afford to DCA and if so in what increments. Set up automation. Do you have a cold storage wallet? Vital to proper storage for Bitcoin. Especially if you’re HODL’ing because this is a very high conviction, long game. I have some building that goes to cold storage, but am considering doing all I do contribute to my BTC ETF holding. But that’s a personal matter, as well as some tax advantages and needed CSW upgrade. Do your best to do automation things you can afford, don’t check everyday/follow specific news about BTC etc. you’ll drive yourself crazy! Wishing you and everyone the best of luck!
So your own net worth may or may not exceed $7k (depending on how much BTC you have, and regardless of your intent to HODL). But the question was why you claim that more than 99% of the population has a net worth below $7k.
Honestly I haven’t found any analysis worth it, I just buy and HODL
Nothing, once you realize you've bought low and knowledge you will HODL for a long time, it doesn't matter...
At this point I don’t even care. I look at the price once a day maybe and 🤷♂️ The btc isnt earmarked for a lambo or new house or something. It going down to 50k or up to 150k doesn’t affect my standard of living. I am become HODL, watcher of charts
Everyone and I mean everyone I knew said neck yourself if you buy BTC & fast forward 1-2 years, they all ask me how I’m doing and should I buy in now after 15k to 74k, history will repeat but at way higher prices my friend. HODL, the time will come.
Do they still HODL bitcoin or they paperhanded it all to the plebs?
It felt like nothing. Because all you have to do is HODL
First of all, never compare yourself to people with 1, 10, or 100 BTC. We all started somewhere. Different life stage. Different life goal etc. Focus on growing your income while consistently stacking sats. That’s far more powerful than trying to cut your way to a whole coin. Personally, I wouldn’t live in my car just to buy more Bitcoin. Protect your health, your career, and your ability to earn. Learn new skills take up new side hustle. All of these will help you to stack more. If we’re still in a bear market, as I believe we are, keep a regular DCA going, and be ready to buy more aggressively during periods of fear, especially around major long-term support like the 200-week moving average. Stack more during bear market stack less during bull market. Have a HODL and swing bag for bitcoin, take profits during bull market on your swing bag. By the time bear market comes, re-enter! Use the Bitcoin 4 years cycle to your advantage! [Bitcoin Bear Market DCA Playbook](https://youtu.be/JXvr49ECTuo)
DCA. HODL. Use a fully open source hardware wallet. And make sure you've secured your seed phrase, preferably using a metal backup. This is the way.
ETFs like IBIT or HODL. Also, **you're doing Bitcoin wrong**, mate.
Over the next year you will likely have to hold your nose and HODL through the bear, but long term it should work out nicely.
What's your next move? Cut loss or HODL?
Every bear feels shorter. The one starting in 2014 was dragging forever. 2018, two massive drops (2018 & 2020) and one small bull. 2022 was quite short, a new ATH even before the halving. This bear is so far, very weak. People waiting for a lower entry might be surprised. This being said, DCA and HODL is the only thing that works in Bitcoin. That and memes.
I believe in cycles, but I don't trust them. HODL
Don’t trade.. you already bought at 100-126k, not great trades.. just HODL for 10 years and don’t look at it Although if I were you I would just put like 50/70% into a global accumulation fund once you get back to 100-125k Also I would put a percentage into MSTR & Coinbase Also you need a gold allocation
I HODL and accumulate during bear cycles. During bull runs I use the "extra" fiat to take a nice vacation. It helps me balance investing for my future while also enjoying my hobbies while I'm generally healthier than I will be later in life. I HODL since I don't want the stress of trying to time the market. Less stress = longer health span (all other variables kept the same).
True. Maximise your income follow by stacking more Bitcoin. Especially during the Bitcoin bear market period (right now)! HODL it for at least 1 cycle you will see how much Bitcoin appreciated
Nobody knows for sure is the thing. I’m not a HODL. I stack aggressively when it’s dipping then whenever it hits a number I’ll stack a lot slower and eventually when it hits a number I’ve decided upon I’ll sell a good portion. Keep that money aside invest it elsewhere. Then when we hit a bear cycle start aggressively buying again. I’ve done this cycle since 2019. I haven’t timed it perfect at the top but every time I’ve sold I’ve been really happy with the profit I was able to take. So it works for me. If I tried to be perfect I’d end up going insane from the stress.
Great conviction. I respect that. But don’t disappear for 10 years. 😄 I’d still manage **two bags**: **A HODL bag** you never touch. **A swing bag** you gradually DCA into during bear markets and DCA out of during bull markets. The goal isn’t just to own Bitcoin, it’s to **grow your Bitcoin stack** over multiple 4-year cycles. Make the bag bigger, not just wait longer. ⏰₿ [Bitcoin Bear Market DCA Playbook](https://youtu.be/JXvr49ECTuo)
don't do leverage folks. i always knew it was stupid and to just HODL. but i got greedy, made money then lost even more. fuck me...
I believe in Bitcoin long term and I also believe the 4 year cycle is real, until it isn’t. So far the 4 year cycle is tracking per usual. So I plan to use the bear market drops of the 4 year cycle to accumulate. What I’m less comfortable with is using the 4 year cycle bull market to sell. Besides timing the exact top, which is almost impossible, what if it doesn’t drop to levels expected as I wait to re-enter the following year? In that scenario I’ve just put myself in a position where I’ll have less BTC than if I just HODL’d and stacked harder on the drops. That’s a gamble I’m not willing to take.
The true HODL mindset isn't just about avoiding sales, it's about the conviction to keep accumulating via DCA through all the noise and doubt. That long-term focus is everything.
HODL BTC only 💪 comme Satoshi
Go ahead & try it yourself. Many of us have tried it and it only solidified our conviction that HODL & DCA are the better option. It's not as easy as it sounds but if you want to prove it to yourself & most likely underperforn the HODLers be my guest.
It amazes me how many people just don't get it. It's called HODL. You don't sell, the price goes up. If everyone sells, well, you see the results. Same Bitcoin, same anything.
Hitting the refresh button like it’s going to change in a few mins 😂 HODL
Nothing changes. Those who HODLed it will continue to HODL
This. The value of bitcoin can only go up if we collectively agree to HODL no matter what. With all of us holding and never selling, we have the potential for it to be worth millions.
Yeah HODL till retirement and than Steak N Shake all day loooooooong errrday
Break off 30% maybe every five years other than that HODL
The silk road Wired article turned a lot of people onto bitcoin. I dodnt do drugs, but still bought some because I thought it would be cool to trade worldwide for goods. I sold some for various reasons but still held a bit because HODL became a thing. And, like every HODLer, I love to remind my family and friends about the price, even now, when I told them to buy at $2000, $20000, etc. I just didnt have any money at the time....
HODL in for the long, bought some more at £48k to top it up. Hopefully we get another cycle to see my stack rise again. Or maybe the institution capital might keep playing the game to squeeze Coinbase and Strategy into oblivion!
1. Buy BTC on any exchange 2. Educate yourself on what you’re buying, what a seed phrase is, what self custody is, what cold storage is 3. Send to cold storage 4. Secure your seed phrase somewhere safe and offline 5. DCA what you can afford weekly or monthly and don’t worry about selling or liquidating 6. HODL 7. Continue HODL’ing
Start learning how to use it. The moment you understand how this thing works, you realize it is priceless. Money won't even be able to buy it anymore 10 to 20 years from now, it's that valuable. That's how. Just DCA and forget that you even are buying it regularly. Put in cold storage as it gets bought and HODL and you'll be golden.
Excellent article. Few will take the time to study it and then apply the deep truths of "scarcity"... Glad I stopped by to read it. HODL
HODL untill 2029 then re-evaluate what to do.
Set stop losses or be a true HODL
I bought in 2022, sold last year, and bought again this year. As a trader, the volatility and semi-predictable cycles are a plus. I have no idea if the long term returns will be better than SPY so I don’t HODL. If I had to pick one, I’d buy stocks instead.
I heard about HODL HODL did you heard about it?
I own restaurants and yes. You can definitely DCA with bitcoin and make a killing when you HODL long term.
The knowledgeable people told everyone to HODL while they dumped during the last ATH. They'll be back when the next hype cycle starts in a year or two.
I'm 58. 3 or 4 times in my live I've started over with nothing. Divorce, just wanted a fresh start, Laid off and ate Ramen for a couple years getting a degree, etcetera. Financial you have zero impact... (assuming you were HODL'ing and not daily spending). You just keep doing as you've been doing...all your daily expenses have been covered and still are. Mentally...it will help if you do a lot of research into crypto security. You will be comfortable investing again when you trust your of tech level enough. OR just invest in more secure methods (ie ETF).
I hope you won't use your hot wallet to HODL because it's definitely not safe. For day to day spending, small trades, it's good. That being said, Sparrow should be a good option for you
Do the meme where you HODL but you’re a skeleton, cause you be dead. Haha. Doesn’t stop people from HODLing forever though.
I was about to give this a HODL high five but I think you're right.
Forced HODL? Or were they able to convince you to hand it all over, assuming you still had some when you were arrested?
Yes. Then I started my own bitcoin-tangential business and earned several dozen bitcoin for myself, only to then spend them all long before it reached current price levels. Never making any of those mistakes again. Buy and hodl. No matter the price, just fucking keep buying. Don't try to time the market. Don't "take profits" that are bullshit compared to the 10x that has happened over and over given enough time and will happen again. Don't treat it like savings you can dip into to treat yourself. JUST BUY AND HODL GOD DAMNIT. EVERY PAYCHECK, whatever is left - just buy and hodl.
I take profits now. I don’t believe in the HODL mentality. What goes up must come down. Maybe I miss some profits if I would like f waited longer to sell. It I can’t time the top. I take profits and buy back when we go back to a bear market
You’d kick yourself if you sold and years later when it reaches a million. Just buy some more and HODL.
The shakeout is REAL! HODL forever ♾️
Classic maxi move: HODL through the top like a legend, then spend nights doing regret math like a degenerate trader. Diamond hands, glass emotions. Just DCA the pain away, king — therapy is for fiat cucks.
HODL logic can be so stupid sometimes. Take profits. Don’t blame yourself, this subs culture may change.
If you could time buying and selling anything with consistency youd be a billionaire in a week DCA, HODL is the only proven method
