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

I have to wonder if any of the people using decimal points actually know what the amount is? .5 means they have fifty percent of a coin? Or they actually have five percent of a coin? Big difference. Unless this person is well off? The possibility of them accumulating fifty percent of a coin in five years, begs the question of the source of the income. I am a single contractor preparing proposals for middle and small businesses. I make during good times a low six figure. During lean times? I borrow from my savings. Over five years starting in 2021 I have DCAed .165 of a coin. Sixteen and a half percent of a coin. Not saying this person is being untruthful, just saying they may not know what decimals mean. If true? Very nice! HODL.
I like your plan. My only issue is that selling at $90K seems to leave money on the table vs. the real risk you are still taking on. Keep in mind that in the US, selling in the 0% tax rate will generally move other income from the 12% to the 22% bracket (so not as free as it seems). If you are in the 22% bracket and the sale moves you to the 24% bracket, not as big a deal, even with the 3.8% NIIT. You could divide 3 BTC into annual tranches yielding $40,000 each: willing to sell at 90K, 120K, 150K etc. In some years, you might not sell at all; in bull market years, you might sell two tranches, taxes be damned. This strikes a middle ground between HODL and your pragmatic financial goal.
I don't really care what it is. Eyes on the target. I've not had so much gain and it's been one of my longest trade so far, but nothing says I should exit the market. So, HODL.
Every cycle someone screams HODL meanwhile my wallet’s just vibin like it’s on a rollercoaster with no seatbelt.
I’ve found that holding BTC in my retirement account makes it 100x easier to HODL. It’s harder to access, takes time and effort to switch funds. The inconvenience makes for a great buffer. I probably would have sold several times, and would have missed the rise at least once for sure. But… not having it in a personal wallet/ actually owning a fiat instrument is a long term risk.
I like the HODL bag to SWING bag tactic. I would be the 20% on the swing off of a all time high. Set that aside on my Strike platform and let that wait for such a time like now but keep my daily reoccurring purchases running with my 80% of Bitcoin.
There’s no end game, you aim to HODL more and more. But surely you still want to take some lifestyle chips here and there. So I don’t personally believe in HODL forever and loan against your Bitcoin (high risk, margin call etc). Best way is to have a HODL bag and a swing bag (a bag you buy low and sell high).

Don't look up how much money you lost by that staking instead of simply buying bitcoin and HODL until now.

Every transaction is a taxable event here, u/DasDouble Here in the states, we aren’t trying to do that… We are stacking more bitcoin SATs so that way all of our income doesn’t erode due to inflation like it does with the USD fiat. Why would we VOLUNTARILY want to add more taxable event to transactions and have our income evaporate even faster than it is due to inflation that we are seeing? The very point of bitcoin is that it is not inflationary. All this does is encourage more taxable events to keep using SATs and then buying more. It really is not a good financial loop for us here bc we get taxed on it. In other countries, this is not the case and it is a dream that we want. But unfortunately, the better choice is to stack and HODL. Using your new product would chip away at our stack, and whittle it down to nothing, just because of transaction fees and taxes on those moves.

I first bought in 2012, DCA'd until 2016 then sold for a car, PC and a 2 week trip to New York. 0 regrets and I started DCA again immediately after coming home. Any time there's an ATH I'll pull some out for a big purchase. The last one was £20k towards a deposit for my first house purchase. I personally don't buy into the HODL mindset. If you can't take profit from your store of value, it's just a money pit. I bought it in 2012, and every year after that, once a week. If the price goes up, yesterday's buy is a profit. If the price goes down, tomorrow's buy will be cheaper.
Bitcoin doesn’t HODL. Bitcoiners HODL. DCA and maybe ladder some limits. Air gapped cold storage. Run a node. And let time do the work for you.
BUY and HODL! We all wanna keep 68K. The only reason it’s slowing now is because REGARDS who have been down for months are content breaking even and selling. We’re heading back over $100K. If you waited to read these posts, it already cost you more money.
DCA and HODL your Bitcoin !! That is the trick.
HODLers gonna HODL through thick and thin
Ngl, watching BTC headbutt the $76k resistance for the 100th time this month is basically the financial version of Groundhog Day. Everyone in here is acting like Goldman entering the ETF race was going to send us to $150k overnight, but the market clearly missed the memo. Tbh, just HODL and go touch grass—checking the price every 10 minutes in this crab market is just a high-speed way to age 20 years. 💀
HODL but for the next generation.
Yes it's safe to invest in Crypto, well some of them more than others. It really depends what your goal are and what sort of trader you intend to be. Will you be staring at candles and day trading or will you buy and HODL... which means hold on for dear life. If you're just buying and holding, I'd suggest a no fee system like Robinhood actually. They have brand named tokens and you don't actually hold the tokens, Robinhood trades them in escrow for you so that's nice. If you want to day trade, you can do that on Robinhood as well but you don't get exposure to the other crypto that are out there and well, learning how to navigate the different blockchains is challenging. Regarding safety. Lately you've been hearing a lot about Bitcoin's security being in jeopardy and it truly is a real threat... however. The threat is quantum in nature and we currently don't have enough qubits and power to actually put a dent in the system you need to run to be able to reverse the Eliptical Curve Method that they use to build your keys. That's a system has uses prime numbers as a gradient curve so it's real hard to crack. It's similar to how your bank encodes it's data. That's called RSA encryption and that simply takes two big prime numbers and multiplies them together to get a large public key. The idea is you can't find the divisors fast enough to matter. Some numbers would take the length of the universe to crack. That is also in jeopardy if Bitcoin is in jeopardy as they're sort of the same equation. They're not but the complexity is the same. If you can crack the ECM, you can definitely crack RSA. So BTC and your hardware wallet keys are about as safe as you can get. It's equally as safe as your bank. If you hear one day that BTC is cracked, then you may want to withdrawal some cash from the bank as fast as possible because that whole system is going to shut down for a while if BTC keys are cracked. So is it safe? No... really, it's not but it's as safe as we can make it until we shift to a post quantum architecture. That basically means we need a security system that doesn't revolve around prime numbers. That's not easy to do. But if you are just dabbling, I wouldn't even worry about it. Don't spend a fortune. Plan on losing your ass until you know what you're doing... and don't believe anything anyone tells you online. LOL. Welcome to Crypto! It's a blast!
Yeah so the King of HODL is going to give me some of his stack... Let's go!!
Do you need the money? I no then HODL.
Because you HODL and don't spend, so people can't see your wealth
21,000,000 total btc was the goal. I say steady the course. If btc once lost can be recovered with quantum, the market will adjust. The road has always been bumpy. Stick with the plan and zoom out on the chart and HODL.
Hard to report any sales when I haven't sold any. HODL
There are only current year loss and future year losses. No one sell for gains because We HODL the gains. Also it is embarrassing to tell IRS about our year after year losses.
Yes sir. Let’s fvcking HODL
That’s what I said 5 years ago in 2021 when I first really heard about Bitcoin at ATH and began buying, avg return now 200%. We’re easily going to $100-$200k very soon. HODL
92.5% Americans not reporting crypto? Guess Internal Revenue Service just found the biggest “HODL” community ever 😄
DCA and HODL your Bitcoin !!
I’ve been HODL 0.1 BTC since 2013. Doubt I’ll ever make it to a full coin.
Okay, then how you will captialise your BTC into something (let's say fiat) that can buy you things? Or you will HODL forever?
This is one of the better posts I've seen in this sub. The "machine for the transfer of wealth from the many to the few" framing is accurate for most of the space. The practical filter you describe in Part V is the right one, but I'd add one thing: the HODL framework only works if you've done the evaluation work first. Holding through a 70% drawdown on a project you understand deeply is conviction. Holding through a 70% drawdown on something you bought because of a Telegram signal is just denial with extra steps. Where I've seen this play out most clearly is in the AI trading space. There's an enormous gap between projects that are actually building and testing (sharing failures, publishing real data, iterating on what doesn't work) and projects that are using "AI" as a marketing label to sell tokens or subscriptions. The second category outnumbers the first by probably 50 to 1. The signal that a project is in the first category: they talk about what went wrong as much as what went right. Transparency about failure is the cheapest trust signal and the one almost nobody is willing to pay.
Not exactly bought, but I knew about Bitcoin really early (probably 2010ish). I was heavily involved in Folding@home (distributed computing... protein folding, or many some have heard of SETI, a bit similar). Anyway, I heard about Bitcoin mining and considered it, but stuck with Folding@home. Maybe some of my effort will cure cancer someday, but I sure personally missed the boat on not at least doing some mining (and HODL'ing! I'm guessing if I would have mined some, I'd have sold most of it somewhere along the way, or even lost it, as the tech wasn't like now). re: Iran - that could go both ways... an emboldened anti-Bitcoin narrative campaign, while others will see it as proving the unstoppability.
No worries, I HODL'ed thru the dip of 2021-22 I was just wondering what folks much smarter than I were thinking. DCA and HODLE are the paths I believe in. Happy stacking.
1. You won’t lose it all. 2. Bitcoin will go up over the long run. 3. HODL
Doubt they’ll HODL. They have a country to rebuild.
If you just HODL, none of this even matters.
DCA everyday and HODL like you’re the third monkey trying to get on Noah’s Ark
Iran just rewrote the game. Any international corporation now understands that a Bitcoin reserve is necessity, no longer an option. New players with millions and billions making plans. Fidelity analyst predicted 1 billion coin by 2038 and that was August 2024. Did he know something? Surely no one saw this Strait of Hormuz "hat trick"? Going to be an interesting ten years. HODL
Wow, sounds like a bullish omen, studying on the Satoshi floor might just be the universe telling you to HODL harder.
Sorry. Will be sure to use the correct place in the future. Thanks for some clarity though! I thought HODL was an acronym lol.
Not sure of course but I feel confident we don’t even reach the previous high of $126k, I’ll say $103,680. Last year everyone was saying $200k I said we wouldn’t even sniff $150k. I’ve been buying bitcoin since 2017, I don’t try to time the market or “the 4 year cycle” my approach has been buying when I have the liquidity to do so and when we have the days where we drop 6-8% I make larger than usual buys on those days, so very much like to “buy the dip”…and when the dip keeps dippin, I keep buyin! Worth noting, I’m very bullish long term, I began selling off my real estate (4 properties in total, 3 in SoCal, 1 on the east coast) in 2020 and sold my last property in 2024, about 95% of those proceeds have gone towards buying more bitcoin. HODL
The point is to keep it for a long time (hodl). Holding is the only option with crypto. No quick win, just wait ....,HODL
It taught me that bitcoin is going to do what its going to do. Best to DCA, sit back and HODL
Until Wesley Snipes enters the chat, I’ll HODL…..
This is the holy Grail. A use case that doesn't depend on a price target. The necessity of owning Bitcoin by any business just entered the chat. The price can be negotiable over time. The commodity being traded or bought will regulate the value of holding or using Bitcoin going forward. HODL The rocket ship is being loaded on the pad. The wait is over.
Static HODL is just BTC bending the space time continuum and making sideways feel like forever!
Yes, and it's not by magic. People tend to buy when it's at a peak of a bull market, and sell when it's on a bottomed bear in fear of losing more. Static HODL cannot explain, but long time ones are in the green.
This is a question for r/BitcoinBeginners, mate. HODL = [holding](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0) DCA = [Dollar Cost Averaging](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dollarcostaveraging.asp)
If you buy, it will go down, if you sell, it will go up, if you HODL it will go sideways.
Trading futures without selling your assets is undoubtedly a great incentive to trade without risking your HODL positions, but you also need to know how to manage the risks, as you mentioned
I have 60% BTC and 40% ETH in my portfolio and will HODL
Well, you are right, they will try to accumulate. However, just holding it won't give them power unless they sell it regularly to manipulate the markets. But that's when everyone else could buy. If they HODL & keep on HODLing, then everyone who just owns a fraction of a coin, will eventually become richer as well. It's just a question of when the trust in Bitcoin ETFs will be abused. Also, why would you think somebody will end up being a no-coiner if we were to live in a world where bitcoin or a bitcoin backed currency is given as a salary or P2P currency? At some point we will see a healthy balance in saving & spending since we can't eat Bitcoin. Even the rich need to buy stuff in a Bitcoin standard world
Post is by: ScholarPrize1335 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/Buttcoin/comments/1sercte/this_sub_is_not_smart_enough_to_understand_the/ Point 1.) Every investment but MSTR loses purchasing power to inflation. Fiat in MSTR grows in value the more that fiat is less valuable. Point 2.) Fiat will go to zero and BTC will go to infinity. When dollars are essentially worthless MSTR will be worth an insane amount of worthless dollars. Point 3.) Scarcity and value are the same thing. The Vaquita is the rarest animal on earth and farts through its blow hole. If those farts could be harvested and stored as an investment they would be the rarest/ most valuable thing on the planet. Point 4.) Saylor knows if your are HODL or have been disloyal. Currently the person with the most money to invest in buttcoin has that money from buying buttcoin puts. But if that person tries to put their dirty fiat in MSTR Saylor will find them and devalue their shares. Point 5.) Return rates from the last 15 years apply to debt issued today. Buttcoin went up so much that gains from the last decade will easily pay for interest on any and all debt even if buttcion never goes up again. 6.) The name "strategy" is pure genius 3d chess game theory. If you have a fruit stand that doesn't sell Mango it should be named Mango fruit stand. Strategy has no real strategy which means no one can effectively position themselves on the other side of a non existent strategy. Stack, HODL, and & F\*&k fiat!!! Multiple people correctly pointed out that Saylor is like Santa Claus. To that say **"You better not sell, you only can buy** **Don't look at the NAV, I'm telling you why** **Saylor Claus is coming to town** **He's selling junk bonds, so he can buy** **More buttcoin, no matter the price** **MSTR stock is going right down** **Don't look at benchmark index's, they just lead you astray** **He knows if you've been bad or HODL, so HODL for Saylor's sake!** *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Will they HODL or dump it on the market?
In ~2016 I bought Stratis and watched it climb and climb. Im talking ~$30 investment to ~$2000. I thought I was an investing genius and continued to buy similar coins (by selling my eth) and just "HODL" thinking I would get the same returns again and again. By like 2020 I think my alt coins portfolio was like maybe ~$200? Not a meme coin I guess, but it definitely taught me it doesn't take a genius to make gains during a bull market. Wouldve been a millionaire if I just held on to my eth instead of betting it on so many shit coins.
Siamo ancora agli inizi, ma quando gli Stati nazione entrano in gioco per le risorse scarse, il “ritardo” è solo un concetto relativo. HODL.
Honestly just gonna HODL BTC
I could only hope it gets to 35k. It’s only a loss if you sell. Just HODL and you’ll be fine. 🚀
Somebody really doesn't understand what Bitcoin and its limited amount is about. Good for those of us who are buying and holding every fraction we can afford. HODL
market timing rarely works like that. If you’re confident in BTC long-term, DCA or just buy and HODL - trying to outsmart the dip usually costs more than it saves
It's a fantastic idea. Buy and save (HODL).
Worse is staying in dollars that keeps dropping value. Sound like you don't still understand BTC. It's not a trade but a long HODL.
DCA every Sunday between 2pm-6pm EST and HODL. If you’re in it for the long run put it in a cold wallet (DOR).
First thing first, make sure you separate your bags: 👉 HODL bag (never touch, long-term conviction) 👉 SWING bag (for buying dips / taking profits) Why this matters: Your HODL bag removes the fear of “missing out” long-term. Whereas, Your SWING bag gives you flexibility without messing up your core position. Most stress comes from mixing the two. Next, remove emotions with a systemic buying approach: 👉 Scheduled DCA (buy regularly no matter what weekly/daily) 👉 Dip DCA (buy more when price drops) Any unspent in Dip DCA goes back to your scheduled DCA after q1 2027. This way: • you’re not guessing • you’re not chasing • you’re not panicking You’re just following a plan. It keeps you calm… because the decision is already made.[bitcoin DCA playbook](https://youtu.be/JXvr49ECTuo) https://preview.redd.it/q8i382nn7mtg1.png?width=389&format=png&auto=webp&s=a65ed6079d6766ad46ff6a68d1a9dbf5da5f0c87
It was never meant to HODL. It was supposed to be peer to peer cash, but....what happened?
After you learn a bit, it's advisable to own some, so that can you get the real feel. Plus don't just HODL. trade off it too.
I think we are on the same page just reading from a different angle. No one should keep their sats on exchanges. Period. Most people are aware of its risks by now. But then they go the other way and buy ETFs instead. Neither is a good option. The risks of holding ETF is less obvious and many people even think ETFs are a “better” way to HODL. Strong disagree. The whole point of Bitcoin is “permissionless decentralized censorship resistant money”. That’s what gives Bitcoin its value in the first place. If everyone buys ETFs and call it the day, Bitcoin get lock up in the custodian dungeons and never get sent P2P, then it will no longer have any value. Scarcity alone won’t cut it. Scarcity must also come with utility for something to be valuable.
I appreciate the skepticism. In this space, you should have your guard up. To be clear, I already told you in the previous thread, before you deleted your comment, that I used a tool to rephrase my "Following the Money" post because the original was blocked three times by Automod. It was a functional filter to get the message through, not a replacement for my own insights. Regarding the website, you are right. It has been stubbornly slow because I am bootstrapping this and prioritizing boardroom meetings over a landing page. But I hear you; I will be a lot more present and get something up by the end of the weekend. As for my digital footprint, I have spent years watching from the sidelines with a buy and HODL only mentality. Transitioning to a public builder is a shift, but I am as active as possible on X. You can even see my recent response to Nic Carter. Finally, to protect the inventory and partnerships I have secured, I cannot and will not give up sources or methods. In professional sports, discretion is a requirement. You will know the teams and the activations when they are officially announced. When that day comes, I will share the videos and the live site here. Until then, check back in the fall because the results will speak for themselves.
I stack when I got the money. If Bitcoin becomes tax free I will get paid in Bitcoin. I buy spot and HODL.
wake up, it's never been about Bitcoin. it's always been about satoshis. In 10 years 236,819 Satoshis will be the next Bitcoin." HODL
Hell yeah! Strike just became available in NY so I am officially on the stack sats and HODL train for good. Gimme that sweet weekly DCA at DISCOUNT
The longer the price stays here, the stronger the DCA&HODL gang gets.
Same here. Sticking to the plan and buying the red..HODL
💯 It's just for about month or so, my X(Twitter) TL is flooded with people saying things like Now is the best time to buy" I can remember around 2020 when I first got into crypto, most people didn't like telling people to invest in projects especially with DYOR Now all of a sudden it's mainly just buy buy buy" Either way appreciate your insights 💯🙌 #HODL
I got in around $32k. It's been a few long years, but, yes, I wish I bought in when it was a $10-$15 coin (as I'm sure all of us do) Sadly, back then, I would have probably sold it at or around $32k. Maybe 10k if I'm honest. It wasn't exactly a HODL coin or "Set and forget" coin back then you might recall. I NEVER imagined it would have his 100k+. but didn't sell any after buying at $32k, I have just held on. I've been stacking Satoshi at every price point since $32k, my average price today is still 5 digits. And the more I buy while it's still under 100k keeps my Avg price there in the mid 5 digits. I'm just fine with where I'm at, and will continue to buy as long as I'm stacking. I'm long and strong, and buying buying buying. 😎😉
100. This is very unique aspect of Bitcoin. As a computer nerd hobbyist, mining in that first 3 year window when you could have been a laptop farm or just more basic equipment would have been so much fun. Also I think when you don’t physically pay $$$ to put in harms way would be easier value risk proposition to HODL since those coins would have been obtained for “free”.

Have you not heard of "tax loss harvesting"? HIFO? BUY HIGH. [price drops]. SELL your highest bought Sats LOW ..... but then immediately BUY LOW because no wash sale. Now I have a lower cost basis and a huge cap loss that's been harvested. In other words, a credit for offsetting cap gains or $3K of income that I can apply to my family's tax bill. Oh and it rolls over every year. So I'm still holding roughly the same amount of BTC as before. I've secured a benefit, and can continue playing accounting games as the price goes lower. I do everything on my terms and have no interest in trying to time the markets. I may have bought less than the dudes/gals who held fiat during a downturn. But I also wasn't going to miss the upside, you know? What if last year was when BTC ran up to $200K?!? People holding fiat and "trading" between it and BTC are speculating on price. They will be the winners in slightly more than half of scenarios, but also losers in others. That way of living is exhausting IMHO. It's far less exhausting and mentally fatiguing to just hold your wealth in the greatest sovereign savings vehicle ever conceived, Bitcoin. The main takeaway I want people to understand is that it doesn't matter what price you buy Bitcoin at. When people ask you in the future Q: What price did you buy BTC at? You can say: Any price Q: How much do you have? A: Not enough --- In terms of strategies to stack more Sats, I DCA from cash into Bitcoin, i tax loss harvest, and I HODL. BTC is my collateral base that I borrow against. Now, this generating cash business to buy BTC at ATHs.... I am employed. I pay for life with my income. I save a little. With my modest savings, I trade leveraged options on Bitcoin Treasury companies. I limit my downside risks and am being capital efficient by using options. DAT prices are by design "amplified" Bitcoin so I'm two fold speculating on BTC prices. I do well in both bull and bear markets. But, you see, there's this pesky problem when Bitcoin is ripping to a new ATHs.... I'm swimming in gains!!! At first, I didn't quite know what to do. But then I eventually did the exact thing you questioned: I bought the top!!! 😅 Because the whole goal is to convert into Sats. (saving on taxes is the long part of this explanation)
