HODL

RealRefrigerator4191

At current BTC price 0.15 BTC is $14459.29 now imagine if you HODL until 2032

Note: I'm not an investor advisor nor giving investment advice use the following wisely. Invest only what you're willing to afford to lose Start with at least $100 in Bitcoin( 0.000010 BTC) after that build your Blockfolio(the Blockchain version of a portfolio) by buying at least 10% from your paycheck after taxes and expenditures of course. Do this for the next 52 weeks and at the end of the year will have 0.00052 BTC depending on the Crypto Market(we don't know what will happen in 2025) if BTC hits say $250k will probably be 10x your initial investment. HODL doesn't sell just leave it alone! Also, you might want to buy a Nano Ledger to store your BTC because you don't want it on an exchange. Read what happened to Mt. God! Now later on you might tempted to cash out your BTC(for a specific reason) but is up to you! Happy HODLing

1 Bitcoin pretty much means you'll retire a millionaire if you simply HODL

DiedOnTitan

One can use the OP_RETURN parameter in Bitcoin to send a message to the sending address. Like, “was this a mistake or a gift?” If the sending address replies, I would make it right. If no reply, HODL.

I’m happy for all who HODL. Bitcoin has given our generation a chance to build wealth and freedom, and I feel honored to be part of it. My journey to 50 BTC wasn’t easy, but it’s one I’ll always treasure. I first discovered Bitcoin in 2013, right after grad school, when BTC was trading for around $100. Back then, I didn’t take it seriously—I’d buy small amounts, never holding more than 10 BTC at a time, and spent it carelessly, often on things like weed. I didn’t see its potential, and I sold too early every time the price climbed. Everything changed in 2017, as Bitcoin’s price skyrocketed to $20,000. I remembered the Bitcoin I had once bought but forgotten about. I realized the seed phrase was saved on an old laptop, long abandoned and gathering dust in a cupboard at my father’s house. It might sound like one of those classic Bitcoin stories you’ve heard a hundred times, but this really happened to me. I made the trip back, found the laptop, and painstakingly recovered the hard drive. When I finally restored the wallet and saw the BTC still there, it felt like I’d struck gold. That moment was a turning point. From then on, I made a decision: no more short-term thinking. Through the crashes of 2018 and 2019, when Bitcoin fell to under $4,000, I kept buying, saving, and holding, even when the market and the skeptics made it hard to believe. Now, in this bull run, I’ve reached a milestone I never thought I’d hit—50 BTC, stored safely on my Ledger. Of course, I know someone who has far more BTC than I do, but for me, this isn’t about competition. It’s about patience, belief, and being part of something bigger than myself. To everyone still HODLing, stay strong. The road is tough, but the rewards are worth it. The future is bright, and it’s decentralized.

What does HODL stand for? Why not HOLD?

Tasty_Action5073

People don’t under HODL 😅 Not just that, even better if for example his brother took BTC straight. Or the can owner did. I call it “Forwarding the HODL”

RealRefrigerator4191

Before BTC hit $10 I told family members, friends, and co-workers even the boss at my job to buy at least $100 in BTC they all laughed at me and called me crazy. I told them to buy BTC and HODL until the price exploded to at least $100k. Well, they regret it today for ignoring me after all I was doing my best to help them become successful.

war_eagle_keep

Just HODL and wait. You’ll be glad you did.

vremains

I dunno I feel the same way, like there's going to be a smallish bear market around the holidays before everything will pump again in 2025... It's so hard to gauge though so I'll probably just HODL. I can't live with the stress of selling and watching it pump up more. Besides, shorting something in a bull market is very risky.

Plasmanico726

Glory HODL !

Tquila_Mockingbird

Global Wealth: Global debt is higher than global fiat... Bitcoin: HODL my beer

MMinjin

We've seen this happen over and over. Many retailers have accepted crypto at some point but they all get discontinued at some point because nobody actually pays with crypto. The issue isn't getting retailers to accept it. The issue is getting people to use a cryptocurrency as a currency and not HODL it.

skeetskeetamirite

Your timing is excellent, just hold and check back in a month, three months, one year. You'll be way up. People would do themselves a favor to setup an auto-buy consistently, HODL, and not look at their portfolios obsessively every hour of the day. Bitcoin is the only asset in the world literally programmed to go up--HODL and stop selling in off hours and on weekends to institutional whales and world governments. TL;DR: We are going so much higher.

Necrogomicon

There is no sell, only HODL

SpaceToadD

Currently 1 company and 1 ETF own almost 1,000,000 BTC between the two of them. Of course this compromises of a lot of people owning shares of each, but we are watching with our own eyes the consolidation of Bitcoin. If Microsoft (or any other large company) starts to buy bitcoin with their profits and triggers a 'gold rush', it will market the BEGINNING of this cycle's bullrun. What you've all seen so far is just the impact of the ETFs and Saylor... HODL.

sortofhappyish

Don't need to unlock when you can just kidnap citizens/tourists who've boasted about BTC online and physically torture them for their seed phrase then burn the corpse. Same as Russia trying to 'lure' idiots to come visit with spam emails etc based on if they've said they're HODL'ing BTC.

DanNotTheMann

Good on you lad, just don't panic into selling when it dumps, hold you're nerve and HODL when it happens, maintain a 5-10 year horizon.

Amber_Sam

It depends on your plans. HODL? Spending? Active on nostr? Trading? Accepting Bitcoin payments?

omg_its_dan

The incentive is to earn bitcoin and HODL

shortwave_cranium

Sure. But you have to time the market with many alts. They're basically penny stocks. With BTC you can just HODL.

Medium_Ant6022

Depends if you’re trying to make a quick profit or want to invest in this long term. I purchased my most Bitcoin (about $5k worth) when it hit $60k in 2021, and then it almost immediately dropped by a lot, and eventually dropped close to $30k within a couple of months and I felt like I wasted my money. I HODL because I only invested money I didn’t “need” (bonuses and tax returns) so I was ok with letting it sit and even forgot about it for a while. I know $10 is not significant, but if you’re actually trying to make an investment you have to let it sit for a few years and go through a couple of cycles of lows and highs to see your returns go up.

NotMyPigNotMyFarm_

You just HODL and keep living life. Plus this might not even be much of a dip. I remember when it hit $63,000 and then dropped to $29,000 three months later. Then it went back up to $65,000 and pretty much exactly a year later it was at $16,000.

ExpertYolo

Yes I’ll prove your post wrong. The fact that doge as been around for longer then a decade and has been consistent in the top 50 should tell you that people actually do HODL. So get your facts in order before making this garbage post

Financial_Design_801

Miami_Vice_75

BTC is a marathon and not a sprint unless you’re a trader. You buy when you buy and you HODL. You’re in this for the long haul and so don’t need to think about how your current purchase looks. Just keep stacking.

shortwave_cranium

You do realize that's where your profit comes from if you're a day trader? It's really best to just tell people to buy BTC and HODL

I also bought bitcoin yesterday at price of $98k. HODL and you’ll be fine.

theshoeshiner84

It sounds like you need to follow an objective approach, because right now you're letting your fear drive you. Take your total worth (ignore what it's currently in) and decide what % of your portfolio you think each asset should have, based on risky that asset is, and how much risk you're willing to take on. Then buy the proper amount to meet that %. For instance, if you feel like the only CCs you're willing to hold are USD (yes $), BTC, ETH, and XRP, and you feel like BTC and ETH are pretty stable, but XRP is a little too risky, then maybe set your %s at 20/30/30/20. So if you have $5k total portfolio value, then you want your portfolio to look like this: |Asset|$| |:-|:-| |USD|$1,000| |BTC|$1,500| |ETH|$1,500| |XRP|$1000| Then, as those assets swing in relative value, re-balance. But keep those %s. You decided those based on an objectively analysis. You don't change them just because one asset spikes. This means as the market goes up, you don't HODL. You slowly sell, back to USD. Then as the market goes down, you slowly buy back in. Buy low, sell high - the only way to win.

cascading_disruption

4 years ago, this sub was posting memes of XRP on a grave and the dude with peace sign to it. Prominent crypto people were laughing at it and saying it will be gone out of top 50 i nJanaury 2021. Check the posts (do a search XRP december 2020), where the hell are these clowns now? I HODL zero XRP right now but can imagine how XRP fam feels right now!

stilldreamy

If you are new, create a paper trading account somewhere and only trade there with fake money. Keep educating yourself and try to feel and behave as if that were real money. At some point Bitcoin usually drops for about a year straight, and then that is about the bottom. So wait until that happens and then put your real money into Bitcoin. Just leave it there and never touch it, even if it goes way down or up, until you really feel you understand how to trade over an 8 year period from your research and experience with the paper trading. If all you do is hold Bitcoin, on average it has gone up by 150% per year. Of course this number will get smaller over time, but it's still much better than a stock index. Of course that 150% per year won't help you if you freak out and sell when it takes a huge dive, which is what crypto does. Just HODL and put more in whenever and after it does that one year dive until you really know what you are doing. Fun fact, you probably will never get there. You probably will never get to where if you really measured things over an 8 year period you would do better than that strategy. When I say don't sell, I just mean don't sell until you have achieved your goal if and when achieving it requires you to sell. Over time this may change and BTC might not go down for exactly one year. For this keep an eye on the Bitcoin logarithmic rainbow charts, which are basically bitcoin power law charts with a rainbow allowing for deviance. With this an alternative strategy is to buy more whenever it is in the lower parts of the rainbow, and only sell if you need to, to achieve some goal/purpose, and even then, try wait until it is in the higher parts of the rainbow.

Invest in Bitcoin and HODL. Be strong when you see it dipping and buy more. Keep HODLING, don't fear, and be strong minded about it. Read the white paper.

Alisia05

Everyone makes mistakes.... the important thing is to learn from them. And you are still ahead with you knowledge about bitcoin compared to 98% of the people. So do something with it, invest and don't gamble and HODL no matter what.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; The article discusses the shift in behavior among cryptocurrency traders from the traditional 'HODL' (hold on for dear life) philosophy to spending their crypto assets. This change is driven by the evolution of the crypto market, including the rise of meme coins like Dogecoin and the development of new payment solutions that facilitate easy conversion of crypto to fiat currency. These advancements, such as partnerships with Mastercard, allow traders to spend their crypto profits seamlessly, reflecting a 'live-for-today' mindset among newer crypto enthusiasts. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

On the otherhand, bitcoin has to survive something like that.... its uncensored money, everyone who wants to can buy it as long as people are selling. So there is the solution, simply don't sell you bitcoin to saylor and HODL ;)

twalker14

Only 17969 BTC away from the sickest HODL number of all time

Prestigious_Long777

Taking a loan to buy bitcoin is stupid. It’s leveraged trading (gambling) with extra steps. A lot of LEGAL disadvantages to it as well, depending on where you live. I am currently in Belgium where the difference between buy/DCA & HODL BTC - and borrow money to buy & HODL BTC is 30% tax. No kidding, if you borrow even 10$ to buy BTC it’s considered a speculative investment with intents of trading for profit, which is taxed at 30%. Just investing your own savings is taxed at 0%. Please familiarise yourself with local fiscal laws. And PLEASE think very considerately before yolo’ing a loan into BTC. You could literary fuck up your whole financial future.

Genara63

Even if you bought rn you are fine. Just HODL

rekless636

Just HODL. Things will keep ripping. Stop making the moves w your bag. You could diversify the bag but selling and going all in is not the way. Like me, I may take 20% of my btc and move 25% of that into 4 different allocations. Some will go up more than others the point is assuming some will outperform bitcoin by 2,3,4x. That will ultimately double where I'm at just where the btc holdings would be at. Then all back into bitcoin and selling it all at some point years from now when it can pay off my mortgage.

IntelligentSock3294

Few pearls I learnt by losing a lot of money. 1. Always take profits. I held 5000 $LUNA at its peak. I bought at $4. Never sold a coin. Felt invincible until I was not. The only smart thing I did is convert my staking rewards to BTC, which played out pretty well for me. 2. Always look for coins with the best behaved communities and mods. Community will beat tech and any other story 100% of times. This is where the next 100x comes from. If a community has mods who are answering rudely to your honest questions, and people are more bitter than usual. more often than not, it’s gonna dump. 3. Find a coin you believe in and HODL. Take profits but HODL and believe in your decision to invest. Diamond hands will make you more money than trading ever will. 4. Neither a bear market nor a bull run is permanent. So always ALWAYS keep 20% of your portfolio in stable coins. You have to always do DCA. BUY THE DIP !!

MichaelAischmann

1. BTC arguably has more of a HODL mentality than DOGE 2. Value comes from buys, not from volume. Regular buys/sells would not help the price if they constantly equal each other out. 3. DOGE has $64B in daily volume. Wan't it to be more? Employ a trading bot.

bp7x42q

If I'm being unclear, my perspective of crypto shifted back to reality after I sold all of my monero--after years of slowly accumulating it through mining/ads/purchase/conversion of countless free coinbase promo coins/etc..i was obsessed. I do I.T. for a living and at one point I had so many machines in my house mining monero that I had to spread them out because it was making all the lights pulse and was throwing the breakers (definitely not an electrician) To me, this felt indistinguishable from observing my dad's efforts to enrich himself via the lottery/MLM/etc. I accumulated, yes...but I did so at a loss because my vision of the future included monero--or crypto--as something more than anchored in society. But that mentality is a pipe dream for *many many* reasons. Crypto is inherently valueless. Crypto derives *and loses* it's value ***arbitrarily*** because it is not a product/commodity/resource--nor is it a security by virtue of that. You cannot decentralize that which is subject to centralization--the banks. Crypto, in its current form, represents an "IOU" for fiat currency. It's either that, or cryptos supposed value is forever 'HODL'ed outside of fruition due to memes and silly shit people do/say to convince themselves and others that they aren't wasting their money and are instead investing in a future--as a fallback agenda for when the next and the next and the next the next the next clone-coin fails to moon......... A future 100% dependent on the internet In this growing dystopia Where internet kill switches are a thing Which get flipped when things get rowdy You'd be a fool to digitize your fiat. This is not to say crypto isn't a promising technology. But the current environment is extremely hostile to it.

About 10%. Honest question for those who plan to HODL forever because BTC will always go up. Why ever spend your BTC if it's gonna be worth more in the future? Wouldn't it be better to just use dollars as a currency instead?

Amber_Sam

If you bought 6.15 bitcoin, based on a [meme](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/cx11cg/comment/eykcifi/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button), born 5 years ago, you HODL more coins than Stronghold Digital.

Boring_Question_1665

Can you help me understand the logic to your advice? Full of contradictions. I presume you hold some BTC. You are advising someone to wait for the bear before they buy. If a price drop below current prices is inevitable (as you infer by the nature of your advice) why then aren't you selling everything now and waiting for the drop to accumulate more satoshis? Seperately, you suggest waiting for the bear whilst simultaneously advising HODL and have a long term horizon. This is contradictory. I just don't think you're clear on your own strategy so shouldn't be dishing out advice to others.

Jayrovers86

I find these posts hilarious… you bought 10 years ago when you could have bought a 1000 BTC for peanuts you’re a gazillion % in profit and probably have always been in gazillions of profit. OR you may have been down a 100 bucks once upon a time OF COURSE it’s easy for you to tell people to hold smh Your initial investment of probably peanuts is not on the same level as the risk people put on today. This is like Nancy Pelosi telling people to just chill and HODL to the guys who buy the tops of her stocks 🤣

Joeyf96

So true, never understand when people say "NEVER SELL". Do people expect to just HODL until the day they die but in the mean time continue to spend in Fiat currency? Makes no sense.

Joeyf96

Eventually you will sell (converting your SATS into real world tangible items). When I hear people say "I'll never SELL", it's not technically true and can alienate people that don't understand BTC. So do we just HODL forever and never use our SATS for anything? When volatility is reduced to the point where the marginal utility of spending SATS vs saving SATS is 0, then you can spend SATS freely and improve your standard of living. At this point we can transition from using BTC as store of value to a medium of exchange.

reptilian_overlord01

HODL. Stack sats.

Pegasuus17

Like i said before Currently value of all things in the world is 900 trillion. You represent this as $100 Bitcoin would be $0.17 cents of the $100 bill today. Fast forward to 2045 reshuffling assest toward Bitcoin. 2045 Value of all things would be four quadrillion. Bitcoin could now be worth $7 from the $100 bill. That's roughly a 41x in 20 years. Take 0.1 btc x41 = about $553,000 in 2045. Buy and HODL!

Key_Mango8016

Now do it again. And again. And again. There is nothing more you need to do: no trading, no timing the market, no nothing. Be patient, stay humble, and ignore the noise. It’s especially important that you stay focused and ignore the noise now that a lot of new people are entering the space. DCA and HODL is the name of the game. What you’re buying is the best form of money humanity has ever created. Crucial: Learn about self-custody: if you don’t own the keys, the Bitcoin is not yours. If it’s on an exchange, what you have is no better than IOU.

DrJoeCrypto007

Amen brother. HODL on! ... Multiple BTC here ... never have enough!

URNape2

Just wait for the next bear market or significant downtown imo. Even if the cycle doesn't play out precisely as before, you're likely find a good entry point. DCA small amounts in the meanwhile perhaps. I have a feeling the bear may not be as vicious as past cycles, but you never know. DCA slowly into a bull - massively buy into a bear market - would be my strategy as a newcomer. Whatever you do, have a long-er time horizon and just HODL. Easy to say, harder to put into practice sometimes. But as a strategy, it's never lost. Good luck! You have found something special with Bitcoin.

Upper-Jury6799

I don't fully agree with this. We can't be certain that Bitcoin, or any crypto asset for that matter, is going to be the future of the economy. Nor can we assume it will go up forever. Crypto has potential, sure, but blindly holding it through every cycle isn't the smartest strategy. Avoid becoming a die-hard fan or a bitter hater. Instead, focus on understanding the potential of trends and leveraging them to make money. That’s all that really matters in the end. Ask yourself: Are you really willing to hold through every bear market, losing the opportunity to reinvest your bull market profits into other assets? It doesn't make sense. Why not sell, take profits, and grow your wealth by diversifying into other investments during down cycles? You can always buy back at the start of the next bull market. Flexibility is key. Investing isn’t about proving you were 'right' about a specific asset—it’s about growing your wealth consistently over time. Trends come and go, and something even bigger than crypto might emerge in the future. By staying adaptable, you put yourself in the best position to capitalize on whatever comes next. Surf the trends, don’t become emotionally attached*.* The reality is, the only people who can afford to “HODL forever” are billionaires and you’re not one of them (yet).

emakhno

I use to, but they're usually not convinced. They're too brainwashed to believe the USD will last forever despite inflation and the current currency wars. The very few that show interest don't have the patience to HODL for ten-plus years or more. They'd panic sell during downs and winters, and blame me for "losing" gains. (The same goes for gold and silver too.) They'll never understand the differences between money, fiat, currency, etc.. My view is if they really want it, they'll educate themselves on it and go get it.

Depressed-gambler

I'd sell half of it when the price reaches 250k. Then HODL the other half.

HODL to 2034

00_Jose_Maria_00

I got in around 2018, didn't really start buying until 2020, because I was broke. It's been 4 years. That's all you really need. 4 years of sacrifice. Bitcoin's monetization period will not last forever. The exponential growth will end when adoption reaches a certain level. The next 10ish years is probably going to be it. If Bitcoin goes to $10 million, 0.2 Bitcoin can set you for an early retirement. That costs you $20k usd today. It's doable. Don't miss out. Work a job, save as much as you can, and dump it into Bitcoin. Cold storage. And HODL. It's really that simple (but it's not easy). No one is too late. Yet.

bAZtARd

I hope it will and to some extent that is why I HODL. I hope BTC will make me rich enough to live without having to work. But that is not redistribution of wealth. That's just a lucky dude who made the right decision 10 years back. The wealthy will stay wealthy, (most of) the poor will stay poor. Bitcoin is not going to change that.
