Just finished watching The Beanie Bubble. Not as good as I was hoping it would be.
Approximately 10.33% of the total Bitcoin supply, equivalent to 2,170,327 BTC, is distributed among ETFs, funds, private/public companies, governments, and DeFi. The rest is held by individuals or lost. HODL strong.

That’s what happens when you try to trade instead of HODL
The next three months will be wildly volatile, be prepared for anything and make sure you HODL.

How I was able to HODL through the bear market by staking

We're not moving for now. Let's see who HODL...
I dont really know if I "understand" bitcoin as I still dont understand how the blockchain works other than showing transactions, i just bought in really early and HODL
I would HODL if I was in your shoes mate. But certain ones I would write off. Pick yours to write off as I don’t think it’s good to tell you which one you don’t have a conviction in.
All these years I have learnt that nobody knows shit, no one knows the future, so just DCA and HODL.
Found my wallet from 2010 last summer. Took me some work but I recovered 5,500 bitcoin. I guess you could say I’m the HODL master!
This reads like "I know how to time the market" Maybe you can but most can't, hence HODL became the battle cry here. We could debate whether this is a skill or a luck issue...
Why you let him publish but not me lol We went from 90k to 86k and the timeline is full of panic. Zoom out. If you want the upside of the best performing asset of the decade, you have to stomach the downside. The market is designed to transfer wealth from the impatient to the patient. This isn't a crash. It’s a liquidity flush. The fundamentals haven't changed, only the price tag did. If you get shaken out now, right before the real move, you’re just donating your coins to the institutions. HODL. Paper hands
The day the whole world will celebrate all the Bitcoiners, it’s near. Wether upward or downward will keep HODL.
Bitcoin is one of the most forgiving investments ever. Just HODL. It’s designed to grow in value over time. Patience is the key.
Sit back. Relax. HODL and keep on stacking sats using DCA. Very very boringly. You can even back test this.
My company that is not crypto-based in any capacity, pays some employees through crypto. I don’t think the boys in Ukraine are trying to HODL anything and they just go out and convert to local currency to buy what they need.
DCA and HODL. That is all you need to do.
You would only lose if you sell. HODL on!!
Absolutely! Knowledge + patience = the ultimate HODL power
Dont spedn the BTC but HODL it. Bitcoin is a good investment for your assets.
Ultimately, HODL is best. Today, tomorrow, 6 months from now, 2 years down the road...if youre not in leverage, hold. Theyre not going to let Bitcoin tank and we already had a 36% drop from ATH. All of the institutional buyers that got in from 70 to 90k have to defend their positions and do so buy buying up all the supply from scared weak money. A crypto bill is in the works probably for Q1 of 2026 and frankly, the government's and central banks of the world want to institute digital money and they will NEVER get public trust again on it if Bitcoin truly failed. They need Bitcoin to succeed as much as anyone else does. At some point it will be higher than where it is today. Even if it feels scary today. But in trading, generally, when everyone's screaming in terror and liquidating their positions, someone is buying it on discount. Todays prices are a discount from the prices of the future and everyone knows it even if their emotions are overwhelming them today. Those that are selling will have immense regret about it in a year.
Same for me, I ended up jumping into Bitcoin when it was at ATH, without knowing it was about to take a normal dip, lol, so my investments are worth less than initially, so I can only HODL :)
Not going to argue look it up. "In 2025, institutional investors have been the primary accumulators of Bitcoin (BTC), while retail investors have generally been net sellers. The launch and success of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 sparked a massive wave of institutional buying that has continued through 2025. Key types of institutional investors and entities accumulating Bitcoin include: Spot Bitcoin ETF Issuers: Firms like BlackRock and Fidelity are major buyers, as they purchase large amounts of BTC to back the shares of their exchange-traded funds (ETFs) held by clients. BlackRock's IBIT became the fastest-growing ETF in history and holds over 800,000 BTC as of late 2025. Public Companies: Corporations such as Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), led by Michael Saylor, have continued their strategy of holding Bitcoin as a primary treasury reserve asset and have accumulated significant amounts. Other companies like the Japan-based Metaplanet have also rapidly increased their holdings. Bitcoin "Whales" (Large-scale individual/private entities): These include multi-strategy hedge funds, family offices, and early adopters who hold vast quantities of Bitcoin. Whales are noted for often buying during price dips when retail investors are selling, indicating long-term conviction. Bitcoin Miners: Many large public mining companies, such as Marathon Digital, have shifted from selling newly mined Bitcoin to a "hodl" (hold) strategy, building up their balance sheets. Governments: A few nations have accumulated Bitcoin, with El Salvador pioneering its use as a sovereign reserve, and others like the U.S. government holding substantial amounts through legal seizures. In contrast to the strong institutional appetite, the 2025 market has seen a decline in retail participation and network activity. The market has experienced a paradigm shift where the supply of Bitcoin is increasingly controlled by Wall Street's biggest players, with institutional demand absorbing the supply offloaded by retail and some medium-term holders. " A nice piece of fiction, but false. HODL Happy Holidays.
Those "OG"(?) whales, generally, simply moved their Bitcoin in quantity. Not sold. Also, it is rarely one person, but a group of investors. So there is that. This myth is allowing institutional funds to purchase Bitcoin at huge sustained levels of discount. The sellers? Retail and hobbyists pretending to be informed traders. Their strategy? Sell and wait to come back when Bitcoin goes lower. One too many movies about stock trading.. HODL Happy Holidays
The only 💯% winning strategy is Zero leverage Long. Keep calm and HODL
I’m still up 20k on a memecoin, was 130k December 2024 tho HODL
I’ve gone back and forth on this and landed on a hybrid view, not a binary one. The real distinction isn’t “FBTC vs Fidelity Crypto IRA,” it’s how often you trade and how long you hold. * **Fidelity Crypto Roth IRA** * \~1% spread on buys and \~1% on sells (one-time, not annual) * No ongoing expense ratio * Tends to make sense for **long-term HODL capital** with very low turnover (no selling, lump sums or infrequent buys held 20–30+ years) * **FBTC in a regular Roth** * \~0.25% **annual** expense ratio * No per-trade spread * Cheaper option for **trading, dynamic DCA sizing, or rebalancing**, where spreads would otherwise hit every contribution When you actually model it, **FBTC** usually **wins early**, but **Crypto IRA can win over very long horizons** because the ETF fee compounds against the entire growing balance every year. The crossover depends on return assumptions and contribution frequency. Higher bitcoin returns = Crypto IRA wins earlier. So a sensible approach for some is: * **Crypto IRA = “never touch” long-term BTC allocation** * **FBTC = flexible DCA / trading / tactical accumulation sleeve** Matching the vehicle to the behavior matters more than declaring one universally superior.
Crypto always lives on-chain, not in the wallet. The wallet just manages your keys and signs transactions. In theory you could HODL forever with just a private key written down, but wallets exist to reduce human error. Hardware wallets are still the safest for long-term holding, and when you do need an interface, something like Solflare works as a clean way to access funds without changing how custody works.
>No bs, I don't know how I'm gonna do , what I'm gonna do , I got no fking idea manh . Have you considered crime? It provides **fast accumulation**, plus the benefit of **free shelter** while you HODL /s
It’s a nice gift. But it is not secure. Those seeds are cached on your printer, your computer, your key-logger’s computer (possibly) and so on. Not really an issue given the amounts, but putting this out there to caution others about the risks. You should advise your recipients to transfer the coin to a wallet whose seed phrase never touched an internet connected device and not to use your gift as their foundational HODL vault. Merry Christmas!
It's simple. Everybody's trying to catch up. But the real boom is yet to come in terms of market inflows into cryptocurrencies. Wait until regulation is clear. Smart thing. Buy crypto now. HODL. Your future finance will depend on it as the gap between rich and poor grows.
Santa Claus understands that it is necessary to HODL
Shor alogo is deep and fragile,while 800 cubits might exist, there accuracy will not be enough to finish the calculation, if error occurs even in one step,whole result is junk, magnitude away from getting that ultra clean code, by that time, everything breaks loose!!HODL
Ok, we plebs can but HODL and wait
Getting hard to HODL ... I hope everything breaks loose!!!!
I just HODL mate because it can up or it could go down I don’t make outlandish predictions incase someone calls me out
Not a surprise. The Institutional Investors went discount shopping and there were a lot of disappointed hobbyists throwing their futures on the market. The next ten years are going to be epic! Happy Holidays! The big boys are now playing. HODL.
Starting at your age? By the time you graduate, you’ll be explaining Bitcoin to your professors. Welcome to the HODL club!
I'm spending bitcoin instead of selling. You might call it HODL forever, I'm calling it saving money. People who think they can time the Bitcoin tops and bottoms will eventually end up holding fiat while Bitcoin unexpectedly shoots up. I'm not going to be one of them.
Kinda disagree. You are taking Bitcoin as an example where such an asset has been proven to be a digital gold academically. Other assets do not have such a strong fundamental and thus the risk is far greater than Bitcoin. As such, those assets are not advisable to HODL for long term as their fundamentals are not robustly strong. Furthermore, where's the demand? If the demand is not sustainable, it's natural to see a 90% drawdown.
I'm in the HODL forever camp. Not everyone's cut out for trading strategies etc. It can get very stressful, lead to horrible mistakes. Everyone's got their own thing going on. Can't judge people for it.
But will you learn from this and have a plan to sell when bitcoin is hot again. Or is it HODL forever?
HODL! This a long term investment, not something that you sweat over on a daily basis.
😆 It’s definitely a long haul/time thing. It’ll still be worth it eventually lol, if they can continue to DCA and HODL. Lol
HODL will be worth 300K next Bull Run
Buy BTC and HODL for at least 4 years.

So sorry for your loss! I dont know your brother like you did, but if he had 15k in bitcoin he was probably smart and planning to HODL. If it were me, I would transfer that bitcoin to your own wallet (just for safe measure) and hold onto it as long as you possibly can! If I passed away, I would want my family to keep it forever and watch it grow, *unless* they were financially troubled & absolutely had to sell it.
Or just stop watching constantly. Just buy when you have money and HODL.
Beyond the fact that it’s a young and speculative asset with little obvious utility (it takes minutes to do a transaction - can you imagine standing at Nordstroms waiting for a transaction to confirm for 20 minutes?), a key thing that’s happened with institutional participation is that it’s simply another asset class for allocation. Rest assured there are millions of money managers simply moving money for their clients to maintain the right investment mix, and they could give AF about all the underlying mantra and ideology that permeates these boards. There’s no “HODL” in the real money world. There’s only a client that said give me 5% exposure to bitcoin, or take it away. I would submit that if you have more than 10% of your liquid in BTC, you are absolutely doing it wrong. You’re gambling, or you have religion, or both. “I think it’s going to go up” (maybe forever) is just another way of saying “I’m trying to time the market”, because the reality is deep down in your heart you all want dollars because they’re spendable. Diversification is the truth, the way and the light. Roast away.
Zoom out bro. HODL. The fundamentals didn't change ;)
You sound like the N00b of all N00bs. Instead of just accepting that BTC is volatile, you're blaming mysterious bitcoin market manipulators for driving the price down. 100% guarantee you're the kind of guy who sells at the bottom, and then will post again in 5 years about how the 2nd worst financial decision of your life was selling at the bottom. My advice: HODL; stop worrying; live life. Thank me in 10 years.
We bottomed on Nov 21st, me thinks. Stack while you can because 2026 is going to be flat for a while and then we are going to get a nice upswing. Merry Christmas HODL’ers
HODL like you mean it. Just sit back and let Bitcoin do its thing. We are still early
Bitcoin is a game papa! When you are in it, be able to play it. Otherwise you will cry every day. Markets are markets. It will be up, and gold will go down. Just learn to do what? HODL. Then you’ll enjoy the journey of being among the richest in the land. Don’t check it daily, because you will regret mostly.
Continue to HODL in his name. RIP to your brother
I have the article somewhere at home. It wasn't this detailed. But this is also interesting. At any rate? This is an assessment, not actual. I trust Fidelity more than any naysayers comments on Reddit. I will add that since this article (circa June 2024) many interesting things have occurred regarding the future of crypto . The SEC is firmly in the yes column for Stablecoins, EFTs, and Bitcoin.as of 10 days ago is now recognized by banks as collateral. Visa has chosen SOL which supports CIRCLE , for its. pilot prigram. It is a different game now. In only a year and a half. HODL Is now
This was from a June 2024 article that dealt with the potential prices of Bitcoin. At the time Fidelity was the only fund making this prediction. The analyst as listed here didn't make the case this poster is making. Other funds and analysts put the price. From. 12 million to 100 million per coin based on markets and predictions. It should be noted that in all of this time, Fidelity has not disavowed this analyst and the prediction still stands. Happy Holidays HODL
Gold leads, then Bitcoin bleeds, then Bitcoin leads and leaves everything else in the dust. We’ve seen this movie before. This isn't a rejection of Bitcoin; it's just the 'boring' part of the cycle before the supply shock kicks in. HODL.
Pay off any debt. Invest in Bitcoin if you can HODL for at least 4 years, you’re future self will thank you.
Gotta wait for Wall Street to catch up on their accumulation. HODL
This is like that meme, where you see the guy and says I’m coming, and he keeps coming for decades but it gives the vibe that he is coming. The last fraction of BTC will be minted in 2140, I’ll be gone by then, my kids will be gone, it’s good to know, but the minting is not as important now, as it is with the price shock. But we GOT to HODL!!!
This cycle isn't just about price; it's about the final transition from 'digital gold' to a global reality. We are moving from the era of speculation to the era of absolute conviction. The noise is fading, but the signal has never been louder. HODL is no longer a meme; it’s a strategy 🧩🧩🧩
I may be missing something here… why would someone spend BTC to purchase something if the value trends upward? Why not use fiat and HODL your BTC? I understand OG’s selling some for large purchases but small, everyday purchases seem like a waste.
You actually don't have to any more! You can use CashApp to convert your cash balance instantly into BTC for the transaction if the vendor accepts it for payment. I've been buying things lately with my BTC without touching my HODL stack. Its pretty cool.
Thats right folks. Just another dip. Dont loose hope. Follow the mantra gawdamit: BTD+HODL. Never ever sell. We need this to keep going up to make it as useless as possible as a currency and to cause maximum damage when it crashes. Don't worry, Saylor's got your back.
>whats a good coin for day trading then? Don't daytrade, mate. Buy bitcoin and HODL. That's the best strategy. People who sold Bitcoin in 2011 at $4 because they day traded are regretting their short lived fiat gains. Don't be them. >i cant afford bitcoin for now .. Everyone can afford bitcoin. You can buy $1 worth of bitcoin, you don't have to buy the whole coin.
Daily graphs are for traders; weekly trends are for conviction. The trendline doesn't care about a 24-hour dip. HODL
anyone hore actually acusing an arbitrage bot to trade BTC? Curious how it’s been performing during this bear market. I keep hearing that volatility is where the real opportunity is, but I’m honestly pretty clueless when it comes to setting this stuff up. I’d love to understand how people are configuring their arbitrage strategies, especially to capture moves like 1–2k swings in BTC with auto trading. Heard on a recent podcast that farming volatility and rolling the profits into your long-term BTC stack can outperform just pure HODL over time. Is that actually playing out for any of you, or is it way harder in practice than it sounds?
If you can’t afford to buy more, just HODL and forget about it for 10 years like a long term conviction, not a trade and thank me later. Save this comment.
I’d buy 1 BTC, that’s the goal for most right, I would buy the status of being a whole coiner and obviously just fuckn HODL it. The rest I’d use towards a new house, because that’s the priority right.
Neither the 4 year halving cycle nor the Fed's monetary policy provide some perfect prediction of BTC price moves, though both are correlated Today we have the former saying 'we have much bear market yet to go' while the latter predicts at least a modest rally from here So, as usual, no one knows for sure Please place your bets, or just HODL, or DCA, according to your preferred mode of interaction
Heh, I'm kind of a maxi, so I'd change 'sell' to HODL and consider taking that vacation.
I did it. I became a bitcoiner weeks ago via MSTR and held through a big drop, nearly 10%. Came to this sub. Asked people how they weathered tough time, learned to WAGMI, diamond hand, and HODL. Upwards and onwards.
While the SPY is up 17% in a year, make sure to send him a meme showing the -9.5% return bitcorn has done in the same year. Pretty solid. That'll show him and his accountant 💪🏼 BTD, DCA, HODL Saylor's balls.
HODL is not a high efficiency investment strategy, the goal is not to maximize gains. The goal is to be in possession of a big enough stack when the time eventually comes that you need it. You won't know when that may happen, or why, or how much you'll need, so the only reliable solution is to hold onto whatever you can get.
That I shouldn't trade it, just HODL ✅
Yeah, it’s seems like the whole strategy is buy and HODL no matter price action.
It ain't over till it's over. HODL.
It’s interesting to me the mindset everyone has here, the “you can’t predict anything” blah blah and HODL forever. Yet with this mindset no one’s portfolio is really growing aside from their DCA. Perhaps try expanding your investment strategies to try and read the market to TRY and predict a possible move which you possibly make you money. It’s riskier but no true wealth comes without risk. Choose your path but my friends let’s relax with the copy pasted mindset here😂
The hardest part about automated trading isn't picking good strategies—it's staying disciplined when you're up or down. I kept revenge-trading after losses or cutting winners early because I'd stare at charts all day. Built a separate smart wallet (Milo) that runs independently from my main stack. Small test wallet (\~$200) is up 4.4% over 6 weeks on Solana. Not huge, but the key lesson: keeping trading capital isolated actually prevents me from interfering with my own positions. How it works: connects through a chat interface, analyzes on-chain data + sentiment + technicals, writes out the full thesis for each trade, then executes if it matches the risk rules I set. Every decision gets logged so you can audit what it did and why. One thing that helped even before automation: separating your trading funds from your HODL stack forces discipline. Can't revenge-trade from your main wallet if you literally can't access those tokens during a trade. If you're struggling with similar issues, what's worked for you? Curious how others handle the emotional side of active trading. [https://app.andmilo.com/?code=@milo4reddit](https://app.andmilo.com/?code=@milo4reddit)
Then what you guna do with it? Just HODL til you die?
This is the first recorded instance of a sub-3-year-old ETF printing top-10 flows while posting negative returns. Gold ETFs never did this. Commodity ETFs never did this. Even the hottest thematic plays of the 2020s bled when the tape turned against them. IBIT just absorbed $25.4 billion during a drawdown year while GLD, running the hottest precious metals tape since 1979, couldn’t keep pace despite a 64% rip. You’re not watching retail FOMO. You are watching pension consultants and RIA model portfolios quietly sizing into a 1 to 2 percent structural allocation that doesn’t get yanked on a quarterly rebalance. That’s the “HODL clinic” you identified, and it has a name on the institutional side: benchmark inclusion behavior before the benchmark officially includes it. Here’s the math that should terrify every gold bug and excite every BTC bull. IBIT did $37.4 billion in 2024 on a face-ripping rally. It just did $25.4 billion on a down year. That’s 68% flow retention during negative performance, which destroys every reference class we have for alternative asset ETFs. GLD in 2013 lost 28% and saw $25 billion in redemptions. IBIT loses 10% and adds $25 billion. If this flow elasticity holds and BTC prints a 40% year in 2026, you’re looking at $60 to $80 billion in inflows and a straight shot past $150 billion AUM. BlackRock isn’t building an ETF. They’re building the fourth pillar of the 60/40 portfolio, and this chart is the first hard proof that the institutional bid won’t flinch when the tape gets ugly.
Hodl hodl https://hodlhodl.com/?filters%5Bcurrency_code%5D=EUR I don't think that is a centralized exchange that doesn't require KYC or will require KYC eventually. Other than HODL HODL there is bisq https://bisq.network/ You should take into account that both exchanges are decentralized. I would recommend HODL HODL
If you have limited funds but plan to hold for the long term, consider the following strategies for Bitcoin investment: Upgraded Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): Building on DCA, you can slightly increase the proportion of your investment during market downturns, but avoid over-concentration and emotional trading. Small-scale learning investment: Use a small amount of capital to try trading or DeFi products. The main purpose is to familiarize yourself with the ecosystem and tools, not to make quick money. Diversified asset allocation: In addition to Bitcoin, consider a small amount of Ethereum or other high-quality crypto assets to reduce the risk of relying on a single asset. Long-term holding strategy (HODL): The core strategy remains long-term holding, while focusing on security and backups, avoiding frequent transactions. Community and knowledge accumulation: Participate in discussions, read project documentation and analysis reports to prepare for potential future opportunities. Knowledge itself is an asset. The key is: When funds are limited, risk control is more important than pursuing high returns.
Did you mean 1/100 who merely reduced their holding? https://x.com/HODL15Capital/status/2000948268508045714
Yes, HODL the vaporware the VCS, KOLs, founders, angel investors pre pumped 10x in a seed round while they slow bleed and dump and fade into irrelevance over 1-3 cycles.
Once you’re here for a few cycles you love it everyday. Zoom out and HODL, you’ll be good.
Yay! Stay humble stack sats! HODL
