HODL

HODL 🤷‍♂️

angelwolf71885

Buy Bitcoin directly NEVER but ETFs or FUTURES or derivatives in any way Coinbase is a fair place to buy BTC from BUT get a cold wallet there are 2 good choices Treznor and Ledger I recommend Treznor because Ledger can recover your seed phrase from the secure element so it is insecure while Teznor can’t access your seed phrase ever they are bother under $200 I recommend to buy your BTC on an exchange like Coinbase and transfer it to the cold wallet as soon as possible same day as you bought it is best…and get a metal wallet that lets you store your seed phrase because if you loose your seed phrase you likely will loose your crypto i wish you good luck and a happy HODL new stoshi cipple

Up? Down? Good. HODL.

Ledger Live is not the gold standard. Never was, never will. LL is the bloated software that comes bundled with the device.  Gold standard on desktop is Sparrow. In case you don't know, Bitcoiners don't stake or swap. Those are shitcoin things. Most don't even trade. Bitcoin is about mining, nodes, DCA, HODL, and Spend & Replace.

Midnight_Tower_Hour

I dont rely on anyone. I woke up this morning, saw dip, purchased more, its almost lunch time and its gone back up. Now I have some change I didnt have before. Its that easy, I get listening to others and putting our trust and faith into our fellow humans is an instinct because we ourselves can be very unsure, especially when some people have a lot of finances tied into Bitcoin. But you must remember, influencers, celebrities, will say or do anything to stay at the top, even if that means pushing you down. Trust in your gut man, DCA and HODL.

AntDog

Papa John's never had it. Laszlo (the BTC pizza guy) asked on a board for someone to buy the pizzas, and he'd give that person the bitcoin. And to answer the follow-up, no. The person that actually bought the pizza paid in USD, HODL'd the bitcoin until it 10x'd, then sold.

DingFTMFW

Heck yea! Happy for you! Too many bros trying to hype everyone to HODL when that ain’t the main thing. We’re trying to gain freedom. Set your goals, hit those goals, and move to the next goal! At least we didn’t buy pizzas 😂

GinHalpert

Yes. My BTC is going towards my first house as well and I have no need to explain myself to people mindlessly spamming “HODL” and rocket emojis who probably have $156 worth.

233mhz

This is not the point. If they wanted to HODL they could have done it.

rockhoundlounge

You can be a DCA and HODL person yet still go through these emotions. ;)

PlasticEyebrow

Give a man a few sats, feed him for a day. Teach a man how to HODL sats and he will eat for a lifetime...

aslanusoyan

Don´t listen to people always telling you "never sell, never sell". If you want to take out money, do it. It´s same logic as "why didn´t you buy Bitcoin when it was x amount?". Because you didn´t. If you wanna take out money to buy a house or whatever makes you happy, just do it. People on Reddit have been saying HODL, never sell since 5k.

KiNg-MaK3R

Don’t let them shake you out. If you ever have been a part of price discovery before, please don’t try to trade during this time. It’s just going to make you mad/sad. Just HODL everyone!

richardto4321

I think most people who preach HODL have held for <4 years. If you've held for more than that and could spend the BTC to change your life in a positive way, then it's kinda silly not to do it. Life is too short.

Froz3n_Cornchip

Keep stacking, perhaps setup a DCA. Judging on your buy in you seem new. If the price drops or plummets hard buy more and more, if you feel fear, then you are not orange pilled yet. Do some research, listen to Michael Saylor videos on YouTube, once you understand you won’t feel fear you’ll only see buying opportunities. Research cold storage and use it. Oh and fukn HODL.

Charming-Designer944

You HODL until you dont. Then you spend what is reasonable to you. For me the.mindset is that you do not actively try to time the market. You ignore the market and listen to your life instead. You also have to live.

piggleii

Strange cycle. Everyone just wants to exit and not be caught bagholding instead of HODL'ing forever (like last cycle).

bourbeasly

This literally happened to me this week. Resolved to finally leave the market and buy my first home. Offer accepted. While I was instructing solicitors and preparing to liquidate I got gazumped by a cash buyer: deal's off. ATH a couple days later. HODL

gponter79

Here’s the rules I like to keep in my mind from Raoul Pal. @RaoulGMI Remember: - [ ] No leverage - [ ] No FOMO - [ ] Top 3 to 5 assets as main bag - [ ] Self-custody with good wallet - [ ] hygiene - [ ] Only trade a small Degen bag <10% - [ ] HODL over a longer time horizon - [ ] Zoom out and remove the noise - [ ] Expect 35% pullbacks frequently - [ ] BTFD if you can - [ ] Don’t Fuck This Up

phdfem

Whether you bought at $6K, $100K, or just joined the ride, moments like this remind us why we HODL. Here’s to everyone who believed, laughed off the doubters, and kept stacking sats. Next stop: 120K? Let’s go, Bitcoin fam! 

OutlandishnessLimp25

Yes, we will see a dip again in 2025. Sub 100k, I believe. Don’t know when, but in 2025. Buy the dip. HODL. Repeat.

DingFTMFW

Finally cashed out some btc for our dream home. At the end of the day, we get one life. You can sit and watch the value go up or you can turn that into real world wins. Been in this game since it was sub $1k a coin. I set sell limits where I knew it would change my life. They hit. I hit. Life is good! Anyone that just preaches HODL with no plan is not who yall should be listening to.

skydiveguy

This is also the HODL life. When you’ve seen it climb and drop and all you can do is watch, you definitely feel this way.

ricoimf

HODL all day everyday

defiCosmos

HODL spot. Only safe way to win in DeFi.

Better off paying interest. Car loans are low interest. It sounds fun now. But retirement, especially early retirement is much better than paying off a car and saving a few dollars a month on interest. I paid off debt and car with a home equity loan and refinance and used the other half to buy bitcoin. Debt free outside of house payment and my crypto portfolio currently can pay off home if I sold. So HODL is just smart, unless you need it for survival. 

Caterpillar100

I am hodling no matter what. Cars come and go, wear out and inevitably lose value over time. My BTC doesn't. I'll gladly drive an old or used car if it means I can more easily HODL.

SevereYak29

buy real project like BTC, ETH etc. I deposit them in Nexo and HODL. The interest accumulates while you wait for a good moment to sell

SevereYak29

or jus buy and HODL in Nexo while the price goes up and earn interest along the way

hitma-n

This video shows the Trader life. Not the DCA and HODL life.

MrYoshinobu

You can get lucky with top alts...but then again, you cannot too. Buy BTC and HODL. You're welcome! ;)

__Ken_Adams__

You're completely misinterpreting the HODL mantra. No one says "never spend", they say "never sell" as in "never sell simply for the sake of holding fiat". That makes zero sense. However, selling/spending to improve your life, diversify, retire, etc are all perfectly reasonable. If you were paying attention at all you'd know that posts with people saying they sold to improve their life are filled with positivity & congratulations.

josephsmeatsword

Yeah, I'm ready to get dragged by the HODL crowd. Oh well.

kaliki07

*Third rule of HODL* ah you get the point

EvaUnit_03

ETFs started last cycle. Strategic reserves started the cycle before that, but a few more did come into play the previous cycle. The first big players started talking about making one this cycle, but have had one for years. MT NOX has been around since the silk road was closed, and every cycle the same FUD goes around about the US finally selling. Now the US is offically claiming its going to HODL, after HODLing for more than 12 years. More are occuring, but not at a rate that really is going to impact the market. I dont think any of the big EU countries have talked about it, china 'banned bitcoin again' last year, I dont even know wtf india is doing at this point, theyve been all over the board. Smaller nations are started to do it. in 2016, banks were literally refusing to let people move their money to 'protect them' from cryptos. in 2020, banks were fully open to you moving your money to exchanges. in 2024, banks started offering you the ability to buy bitcoin from THEM, meaning they were accruing it in the previous cycles in order to have a reserve. But not all the banks are doing it, and they arent just allowing ANYONE to buy it. ETFs typically have a set buy amount, so you cant just go into wells fargo and buy 30 bucks of bitcoin ETFs. This is just a regular cycle. And it wont break that curve until the market is hyper regulated. Just like how stock markets used to do the same thing.

1 Billion + 111 Million USD had he HODL (Held on for Dear Life) But pizza.

Krondelo

Good job paying with fiat! HODL!

Gandzilla

Only 10x? bearish! Barely worth to invest anymore! Where are my 500x gains? Better to leverage 100x and get those numbers! /s … HODL But always, sell never

Deathdar1577

Calm before the storm baby. DCA and HODL.

MrYoshinobu

In 3 of the 4 past cycles, when Bitcoin breaks its all time high, it doubles in less than 18 days. *HODL*

WalkThePlankPirate

Then HODL?

hiddenintheleavess

HODL 🥵🥵🥵

ForwardsBack

BTC + ETH = Bluechip stocks. DCA, don’t sell until you make life changing money, HODL for the rest of your life Meme coins = Penny stocks on crack, take anything you know about investing strategies and throw out the window, make sure to get in and get out Alt coins = is like picking a winning seed round tech startup to IPO, welcome to the casino You may find this help at some point - buying/selling the opposite of what Reddit is hyped about is a strangely useful strategy

unlmtdLoL

I just HODL and STFU up or down IDGAF.

mrestiaux

HODL!!

Ok_Rent_2937

I am happy for the whole r/Bitcoin community that we got to experience the excitement of a new ATH of $110k today. I feel fortunate to have started my BTC in 2021, but at the same time, I wish I had started a few years earlier. My first buy of 0.66 BTC was when the price was $46k. Since then I have bought at all prices between $20k (0.5 BTC, my best purchase!) and $106k, and stacked 3.34 BTC worth $367k as of now. I am still buying $500-1k every month, but unless there is a big bear market, my BTC stack will not grow too much more. I would consider myself lucky if I can get to 4 BTC. Will HODL till 2030 and then decide what to do. My hope is that BTC price reaches $250k by then, but who knows what the future holds? Certainly not me!

Dear_Technology_8029

DCA + HODL = stress-free gains. Just stack sats and chill.

TwoCarz

Oh yeah, congrats on the new ATH :) :) :) HODL!!

Toe_Solid

Thats exactly what I'm doing. Never stop HODL lol

NaziZombiez

Don’t make any sudden moves lol just HODL and wait for a few years

NaziZombiez

Keep waiting for 1 million+. Just HODL for years

PoisonWaffle3

I started mining BTC on my gaming PC (with a mining pool) in 2011. It was profitable to mine on the CPU and on both GPUs, and over a period of about 6 months I had mined about 5 BTC, worth about $2-3 each. Everyone I talked to about it at the time was interested in the blockchain tech itself, and about how it could disrupt the entire finance industry. Sure we were making some money with our gaming PCs, but it was small change and we had no idea how valuable it would become. I ended up spending 6 years in prison (late 2011 to late 2017) so I was forced to HODL for that time. In 2020-2021 I sold a good chunk of my BTC ($30k-60k range) and put it toward building a house. It's crazy that we're in the $110k range now, but it looks like we still have a long ways to go before we hit the top. I wish I'd mined or bought more BTC way back then, but I'm still grateful that I've done as well as I have with it. I'm still a whole coiner 😎

Hammer_Dammer

There is nothing like ATH season. Newbs get excited and learn their lessons. My advice, just buy and HODL.People who came in during the previous cycle get to experience their first cycle of mega growth. The people from two cycles ago start to witness the fact that this worked out and are hopefully about to realize they are actually fucking rich now. Anyone older than 3 cycles right now, they're all are out doing whatever they feel like.

walkinyardsale

The year 2035, patient enough? HODL, DCA and mining for at least 3 more years.

Reasonable_Leg_4664

Divide the ETF price by the current price of 1 BTC, currently $110k and then buy that many FBTC. It will then track like a whole bitcoin. And it’s easier to sell and then buy again lower since you won’t be paying taxes on trades. True bitcoin in wallet, self custody is DCA and HODL. FBTC in IRA is FAFO. LOL

SevereYak29

simply HODL on Nexo and earn interest!

Hanzieoo

I stole that from American HODL, put him on the list too. He is bullish as fuck and supper contagious in his ideas and personality.

Miam_Lanyard

they don't have the HODL mindset and see this as a get rich quick. ain't gonna happen.

sami2204

Best thing is a dollar cost average that changes depending on risk metrics. E.g. when my risk metric is low I pit on a lot, when it's middling I HODL and when it's high I take out a certain amount. The key is to not deviate from your strategy too much although small adjustments can be made. Crypto is the most prone to emotions so watch out for those.

Possible-Local-9357

Yeah but HODL

pg3crypto

You have to account for custodial wallets though...Coinbase et al have absolutely massive wallets, but they don't "own" the majority of those coins...users that keep their coins on exchanges do, but they won't show up in the wallet stats. Based on what I know from my (albeit relatively small) sample size of people, a cohort that has a fairly well balanced distribution of different types of people...I'd say the typical holdings in Bitcoin are around $1000. It would be a lot higher if not for the panic selling and buying back in near the top. Somehow these people manage to keep their holdings low by disobeying the golden rule of Bitcoin. HODL.

Jenn2895

1st off ignore all DMs. Scammers love these kinds of posts. 2nd: Look for projects with strong fundamentals & utility. Like Bitcoin, Ethereum & Chainlink. 3rd: Diversify 4th: Don’t invest more than you can afford to at least have tied up for 4 years in case there’s a crash. If you do #2 it will make it easier to HODL if that happens too.

shadowlid

Don't worry soon the.....DONT SELL ITS OK, OR I PUT MY LIFE SAVINGS IN AT THE ATH DID I FUCK UP POSTS WILL BE COMING SOON.... Buy HODL and all will be fine.

KIG45

Bitcoin will become the most valuable and inaccessible asset. HODL!

Yeah just HODL and chill

PlasticEyebrow

Institutions are definitely getting in, but Blackrock and Fidelity are buying on behalf of retail. Anyway the same as always.... HODL, zoom out, and be patient.

TexasBoyz-713

I like this a lot lol. I do like to look at the charts for my own personal dopamine hit, but I know in the long run it’s all noise. **Stack Sats & HODL**

And? IBIT doesn't include FBTC, GBTC, ARKB, BITB, BTCC, BITC, HODL, BTCE, BITW, BTCO, BRRR, QBTC, or BTCW. (among many others)

Riker-Was-Here

>What do you understand about how Bitcoin works—whether on a technical, practical, or philosophical level—that newcomers simply don't see or appreciate? i'll bite. if you truly comprehend bitcoin's value proposition you dump everything you have into it. it's far better to make a substantial initial investment as early as you can. time in the market beats timing the market. get in and HODL. don't withdraw for 12 years at least. HODL for 12 years or 3 cycles and you are made. newcomers tout DCA strategy and for many that is their best option, but the "ALL IN" method is superior in my humble opinion.

Prof4Dank

Definitely stay away from online and any DMs! Stay safe and always HODL 😉

Smoking-Coyote06

Understand you're coming in during the last part of the bull market. Btc is prolly gonna keep going up. Its probably overpriced right now (short term)...or it's not. If we have another bear market (my expectation), we may go back to 70K as a low. Or we may not have a super steep correction and we dont see sub 100K again... Keep stacking. HODL. You'll win in the long term.

Julie_Durgin-8704

Ride it high enough to day dream of a lavish life and HODL down -99%.

Sin-City-Sinner

I honestly KNOW you’re right, myself included. But I’m learning fast and when it comes to bitcoin I am HODL till the wheels fall off or I get a fat payday.. hopefully I won’t ever have to “cash out” I want the world to run on btc and then I can just spend my sats!

Few_Foundation3409

Strike has a base 1% fee (the lowest Ive been able to find) with almost no ask/bid as well. The more you purchase on Strike the more your fee lowers and DCA’ing is extremely easy with no fee after the first week of your DCA. Setting strike prices for dip buying is also really good. Also just purchased my Trezor Safe 3 BTC only last week and was super easy to set up. Make sure to DYOR as much as possible about Bitcoin and which ways to purchase and store suit your needs best. View Bitcoin as a savings and HODL friend.

SquaredTheOG

Depends what your goal is? Are you planning to make a profit this bull run or are you planning to HODL it forever? If your planning to make a profit, I recommend dollar-cost-averaging strategy (buying X amount per week/month) or if you dont care and want to HODL then just buy up the full amount now.

red98GTSR

If I believe it is going up over time then I don't care, I just HODL what I have and buy the dip and never risk selling BTC for less than it costs now

DA2710

Never will happen as the large holders will sell where and there and create significant volatility. Not everyone thinks like us and is a HODL forever type. They just want to make money period

neil-01

Yup, market’s stirring! Time to HODL or grab the dip? Spill the tea!

Acceptable_Hand8622

1. Just received my cold wallet, easy to use and wallet is only used if I am moving crypto off my cold wallet. Only interested in BTC. Starting to stack every day until I’m all in and then maybe some from redraw. I wouldn’t trust this on exchange or hot wallet that can be hacked. 2. For your employment, do you pay tax? If you bought and sold an IP you would pay CGT. For BTC, you’re not paying in USA or Australia where I am until you sell. While there are ways around CGT ( comes up here regularly) why bother with the extra hassle and risk of imprisonment if you are caught. Also do you think a crypto lawyer will help you if you fight an exchange and help you to avoid tax. Long term investment, if you 10x and pay 15% CGT, you are still up 8.5x *just pay the tax IMO*. Also you have other investments, if you lose on them, they will be subtracted from your gain if in the same year or carried forward from previous years. Additionally if you think like most here, you will only be changing to fiat in small crumbs to buy that car or holiday, leave the rest in BTC to keep growing. You’re only paying CGT on the crumbs so CGT isn’t that big an issue. Definitely cold wallet and pay the cgt. HODL and never sell it all, only crumbs.

Unaccepatabletrollop

And maintain a savings account for your emergency fund. Think in milestones, save enough to cover a $400 emergency, then $1k, then 3months of your salary. Everybody has different risk thresholds, decide your own. DCA & HODL

shredyeti

DCA- Dollar Cost Average. This essentially means setting an automated daily, weekly, or monthly recurring purchase that will buy regardless of price, and effectively smooths out market volatility and gets you a competitive average purchase price when viewed over the long term. HODL- Hold On for Deal Life. Slang for long term holders of an asset. You do not trade on the asset, only buy and hold for the long term. Pick an exchange to sign up for- Coinbase, Binance(if outside US), Gemini, etc etc. link your banking info, this is your ‘fiat on-ramp’ to get dollars into BTC. HOWEVER, nobody who knows anything about crypto would suggest you keep your BTC on an exchange. You need to get a hardware wallet for long term, super secure storage. Check out Arculus. And for gods sake keep your seed phrase in a safety deposit box in a bank. You’ll also hear this a lot: Not Your Keys, Not Your Crypto.

Fit_Trifle2469

DCA, Dollar cost average - consistently buying 1-2x a month no matter the price. HODL, hold on for dear life - hold your Bitcoin and don't sell no matter what, unless you have to.

gI00m1sh

Dumb question but what is DCA and HODL

biba8163

ADA long term gains NADA. Here is a thread from 2021: > If you could get 1 ETH or 3000 ADA for free but have to HODL the coins for at least 3 years which would you choose > 1 ETH is currently $2,906.85, 1 ADA is $1.41, 3000 ADA are $4,230 https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ozch7m/if_you_could_get_1_eth_or_3000_ada_for_free_but/ Today: 1 ETH = $2,560 3000 ADA = $2,250 As bad as ETH is doing, ADA is much much worse. Two steps forward, three steps back. You are getting fooled by the Alt Pump and Dump Tango.

angelwolf71885

Sadly even at $1M/BTC 10 years from now there will be SAPs who will still claim that BTC is a scam and will go to $0.00 and the rug pull is a comeing…while all of us that HODL will just laugh and laugh

mkassed

I personally don’t have a crazy amount of trades just buy and HODL. I love the UI for Robinhood. Not too much downside for people like me, correct?

tbkrida

You don’t have to worry about out any of these dumb shit foundations if you just HODL Bitcoin. It really is just that simple…

SevereYak29

it's hard to catch the wave in such a short time frame. You might succeed once or twice, but at some point, you won't. It's better to stay in the game long term. My strategy is to HODL for 2-3 + years and earn interest on lending platform like Nexo in the meantime.

Stormyy98x

I don’t think it will ever crash to zero. There’s always going to be people who HODL, plus there are lost wallets holding BTC that can’t be just erased from the blockchain

Jad8484

I got to where I wanted to be last bear season and haven’t really bought much since. HODL and live it up a little bit.

GreatNameNotTaken

I'm just a beginner in btc with a low income. But I've learned that there's only three things that matter, 1. DCA, 2. Stack, 3. HODL. Nothing else (not even the price) matters.
