HODL

KiNg-MaK3R

Embrace the volatility. Believe in the trajectory. In 10 years, your friends will be buying coffee with bitcoin. HODL

Sensitive-Copy6959

In other words, just HODL and DCA in, enjoy the dips.

Competitive-Fly4732

Its the asians dipping in the morning! Buy and HODL.

Sin-City-Sinner

Don’t sell unless it’s part of a strategy to lower your DCA and or total investment in BTC, it’s what I did, it worked out well for me, and now I’m watching the price with my figure on the trigger to buy back in as low as I can for the same amount after I withdrew some nice profits when it was at the ATH. HODL my friends you won’t regret it especially if you ya e the capital to buy 0.5 or a whole BTC

blockstreamHQ

Focus. HODL. 👊

HODLHero_BTC

Will continue to DCA and HODL.

Crypto_future_V

They panic. We HODL.

AbbreviationsLive475

And…? Hold your horses. In this sub that means HODL. Yeee haaa!

Vegetable-Rabbit7503

4 year cycle is nonsense, you cant predict the exact year when a market is going to drop. Buy now and HODL, thank me later.

B_Traven9272

Just bought **0.00012388 BTC** two hours ago. Grab a blanket and HODL.

CantStopAddicted2

BTC isn't about day trading , wrong sub. HODL til u die

Vegetable-Rabbit7503

Stop looking at charts all day and stop trading, HODL long termn.

Crazy_names

Same thing we do every day. DCA & HODL. Dont watch the price. Don't watch it...watch it a little...dontwatchit.

SpikeyOps

HODL. Like we did for the past 10+ years

Zealousideal_Bed_954

HODL

Advanced-Summer1572

LOL! Yep! They are driving the prices. Of course they will make these coins so expensive you won't be able to pretend that you know how to sell to take profits and try to get back in at the bottom. But sure, sell and buy precious metals which are now at the top. Great advice! HODL

Zealousideal_Bed_954

HODL 😌

Angustony

You are suggesting swing trading. It can work out well, it more often works out worse. If you sell now, you have sold at a loss. Selling at a loss means even if you buy back at a lower price, prices have to go back up to todays price before you are even. Wait until you can sell at a higher price than your purchase cost. Whatever happens afterwards, you made money. Plus, there is no guarantee that the price will ever drop to whatever you decide is your buy back price. But you've still lost money, and now have no coins, while your FIAT reduces in value thanks to inflation. If you still believe in Bitcoin, and believe it will go higher in price than your buy price, buy more when the prices are low. Set a sell target figure, and stick to it. Or just HODL until you need the money. But only with money you can afford to lose. If you don't believe prices will ever go as high or higher than your buy price, sell everything, accept your losses, and delete this and any other crypto subs from your feeds.

_GOREHOUND_

So you’re basically repeating the standard “just HODL” consensus. Are we going to get that same advice every time BTC wobbles?

evandollardon

whatever it takes, here i am earning daily on bags at nexo. HODL and wait is my strategy

Equivalent-Tip-3084

First this is a Bitcoin sub and we believe alts coins are scams. Second most people who try to earn a return end up losing their Bitcoin.  So I would advise you to skip the fiat games (trying to earn a return) and just HODL. 

Scott7894

The amount of negative people on this thread do not represent the other 95% of holders out there. So be prepared when they sell too. You’re hoping too much because you either have A) a loss or B) you want to buy to HODL Either way that’s not smart thinking.

Financial-Cod-1985

Most people who say to HODL bought in at a price that Bitcoin will never hit again. It's easy for them to say HODL because they are basically always in profit. But, there are plenty of times where Bitcoin drops 30% and then rallies to all time highs. If you're down, you can sell now and buy back in layer. But there is no guarantee you'll be able up by back at a lower price

FastVideo9700

If that’s the case then I guess I don’t understand why we don’t just sell and buy back. Why does everyone HODL? New to crypto if you haven’t guessed lol

JeremyLinForever

Saying “fabulously wealthy” just tells me you don’t follow your own advice BRITISH HODL.

SeaBass_Farts-3755

Ok but if you have to convert your cash from bank account to say USDT and then USDT to BTC then there’s still a trail, no? I feel like I’m missing something. When I looked at HODL HODL offers the method of accepted payment was anything but “US fiat.” It still had to be converted to something digital before it went to the seller.

CapitalIncome845

The thing is.... once you've learned about Bitcoin, you don't really need to follow anyone. Buy, HODL, Get fabulously wealthy.

iiiml0sto1

[HODL](https://bitculator.com/en/crypto-glossary/hodl)

GBeastETH

Absolutely. Buy and HODL is the only way. Leverage will get you liquidated every time.

SeaBass_Farts-3755

How does one do this and still stay anonymous. If you transfer from your bank account to anywhere, that is tracked. I feel like you would literally have to get physical cash into some sort of system anonymously in order to get it into HODL HODL or something. I just don’t understand how you go from your bank account to HODL HODL without it being traceable.

FltoCoguy

The creators, the CIA taking their profits 🇺🇸 HODL 🥴🥴🥴

choicehunter

Don't believe anyone claiming an official IQ score above 160. Real Standardized IQ tests using Deviation IQ (the real standardization), can't exceed 4 standard deviations, which is an IQ of 160. They have to either use a debunked, obsolete, dismissed method of "Ratio IQ" (which allows a 5-year-old to be given an IQ of 200 if they solved a problem intended for a 10-year-old, even though it was proven later their IQ isn't actually that high), or they use a made up unscientific test like those used by the Mega Society or Giga Society) which are not peer-reviewed or standardized nor have they been rigorously "normed" on a general population. Professionals view these as "power tests" or intellectual hobbies but not scientific instruments at all. Do not believe anyone claiming an IQ above 160. It's not realistically possible. It proves they don't really know what they're talking about. Warren Buffet was right about this: > "Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with the 130 IQ. Once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble." High IQ helps with logic, but Bitcoin is often driven by emotion (Fear of Missing Out or Panic Selling). A person can be a genius at math but still "lose their cool" when they see the price dropping. In fact, highly intelligent people often struggle more because they try to find logic in a market that is currently acting irrationally. Even for a genius, Bitcoin is "unpredictable" because it lacks the standard data points of a normal company: * No Earnings Reports: You can't use IQ to calculate "profit vs loss" like a normal business. * Sentiment Driven: It moves based on what millions of people feel about it on social media. * Irrational Actors: One single person with a lot of money (a "whale") can decide to sell for a personal reason that has nothing to do with logic, instantly changing the price for everyone else. A high IQ is a measure of how well a "brain engine" can process information, but it doesn't provide a crystal ball for markets like Bitcoin, which are driven by trillions of unpredictable human emotions. Just ignore the noise. Quit watching the price. DCA and HODL for 5 years or more and then analyze how it went for you in hindsight. So that and you won't care about a self proclaimed impossible IQ prediction.

Saylor_Moonboi

Everyone else is wimping out, so I'll take this one. The realistic long term risk is that Bitcoin isn't used for anything in the real world, besides hoarding by our cult, and this is NOT a small risk. Not used as sound money, or even 'gold 2.0', and frankly, the way the banks are currently FOMO-ing into gold 1.0, as Trump keeps tearing down the old world order, its pretty clear that gold has NOT lost its monetary use, to become just another industrial metal, quite yet. I personally think the current Republican embrace of Bitcoin is purely linked to their positive, but twisted, views on bitcoin mining, and not any real desire for a return to hard money, or backing the US dollar with anything, and their HODL will be a LOT shorter than most people here think. I think the way they look at Bitcoin, and mining it, is as sort of a 'Fracking 2.0', like its some kind of digital resource extraction, that the US has some kind of inherent advantage in doing, that we don't have for, say, gold mining, and that Bitcoin mining does acceptable levels of environmental damage, not so much that catastrophic climate damage happens, but enough perceived damage that it pisses off the libs. You can sort of see thi,s in that they describe their HODLing as a 'strategic reserve', which they DON'T describe their gold holdings as, which I think makes it very equivalent in their mind to the strategic reserve of OIL the US already holds. I have a feeling that Trump, or his successor, will 'Elon Doge' the Bitcoin community, by dumping most, or all (!!) of the reserve, to buy dollars off the international markets, if the dollar falters near an election, or inflation surges again, as it likely will, just like they pull market shenanigans with the strategic oil reserve. This lack of government HODLing, or any real money usage, could cause the price of bitcoin in fiat to stabilize, or even gradually fall over the longer term, like what is now happening to almost every altcoin. This doesn't require an end to money printing, only the Fed getting inflation back to 2 %, which I actually think is doable, and they had BETTER do it, or Schiff will be proven right, gold will keep surging, and the country will suffer a lot, and maybe the sheeple will take out their frustration on the Bitcoin community. The positive case is that Bitcoin keeps appreciating faster than the dollar keeps dropping, because of further adoption. This could happen from hedge funds, ETF growth, more third world central banks getting into it, or even the normie sheeple finally FOMOing into it. I think this is reasonably likely, and has been happening for a while now, but it IS hard to predict where the next level of demand will come from, and its definitely not a certainty.

SilverPrivateer

I... I'm scared guys. I became a bitcoiner via MSTR... really loved the whole narrative. Being your own bank, having a form of hard money that no state can print. But wow, is the diamondshanding hard. WGMI... but I come here for some strength to HODL through this! Thank you all for being such strong and supportive people!

Dettol-tasting-menu

What is a neutral stance, really? To me a neutral stance is just an uninformed stance. “What do you think about XYZ, do you like it or do you dislike it?” “Well I don’t have an opinion because I am not well informed on this topic. I remain neutral and am happy to be convinced either way.” If you truly understand bitcoin then IMHO you cannot possibly stay “neutral”. I’d argue that anyone who understands bitcoin, along with a bit of economic history, and human nature in general, would fall into the “HODL to the moon” camp.

No-Discipline4948

I was just kidding brother. Spend what you can afford to lose. And stop selling. HODL!

Mrman122333

Bro, don't worry I did the exact same thing. I always had the HODL mentality and I missed 2/3 cycles of life changing gains. Technically I'm still in profit, just not as much as I could have been. I think greed is a big player, everyone keeps looking at charts when the market was/is pumping and that mix of euphoria really keeps you holding on for more. Just take the lesson, and invest in good projects going forward and don't be greedy. Even if you make 100, 1k, 2k. Profit is profit, start to think like that. Remember you can never time the market either, and in crypto there is a lot of manipulation.

SteveW928

Yeah, the meme gets absurd. Many take it too far (if they even understand the point of it in the first place). If you need to USE your BTC for life.... that's like the whole point of it! Perfect money. Money isn't a Tamagotchi. There is zero point in just forever HODL'ing Bitcoin. But, the opposite is the point. There's never a time to trade or sell just because. Pretty much anyone who does that, doesn't understand what they have or have gotten into.

bitski44

Cycle volatilities dampen as BTC matures—less retail and more institutional HODL'ers.

Ztoxed

A healthy view for me is Crypto is Penny Stocks. Until or if CC ever becomes world dominated. Crypto is just a digital penny stock situation. Even Bitcoin is similar to some pennies that took off and did well. Pennies are risky just about the same as Crypto. Both you get pump/dumps. HODL, **FUD**, & FOMO lives in the lives of both these two models of investing. I mean Trump Coin was a huge example of what a Penny stock does.

Charming-Designer944

Sorry. Have the exact same curse and I am convinced it will trigger in a bad way no matter what our intentions are. So i HODL. Been the safe bet forever.

jaraxel_arabani

Forgot 3) it will stay range bound as long as you HODL

GreenStretch

Yes, whatever can be bought and sold will end up in the hands of the rich. So I HODL to be among them for my lifetime.

paperlevel

Yeah, but I'm already all-in. So, guess I just HODL from here.

Ok_Rent_2937

Who knows. Just HODL as much as you are comfortable having in the long term.

Pure_shenanigans_310

10% of my earnings is split between a market order and limit order at -20% the market price. Any extra loot goes strait to the bitty. Bonuses, awards, rewards, rebates, refunds, etc. Find your a strategy that works for you. The key is just staying in a position where never have to sell to cover irl hiccups. Small contributions add up over time. Keep stacking and HODL.

Boston-Bets

WRONG. Tell that to folks who bought and held NDVA or MSFT 5 yrs ago, and HODL.

fugogugo

only if he has strong diamond hand and HODL this long

Away_University9739

Yeah, it's possible and a classic crypto mindfuck. We're potentially carving the right shoulder now after a blow-off top, with sub-$70k (or even " electricity cost" \~$40-60k in a real bear) feeling very 2026-plausible if liquidity tightens and the cycle rolls over early like some past ones. Many charts scream bearish H&S or distribution, and sentiment's still too euphoric for a true bottom. Funny? Painfully so if it plays out. But markets love humiliating the obvious narrative too could fake everyone out higher first. HODL accordingly.

BlazingPalm

If Coinbase and Strategy and countless others can safely HODL billions of dollars worth, I think we’ll all be ok.

thales_axios

HODL

omg_its_dan

Agreed 100%. Which is why I HODL and don’t get caught up with the short term volatility or trying to trade.

KingPettyx

HODL does not mean use bitcoin every day for practical use. Use shitty fiat for that.

Sea-Environment-5938

'Sell before it dips again' is how people end up buying back higher HODL > panic. Great meme.

GodMeEvil

HODL

Chrysalis1111

I tried to trade back in 2020, stupid oh so stupid. I was -0.2, -0.19, +0.06 BTC in my three trades. Quit when I was up. Good thing I did, wish I never ever started. Never again, HODL only. That is 30K+ lost forever in todays $$$, God knows how many in tomorrows.

CapitalIncome845

Bitcoin doesn't need a signal. Buy. HODL. Repeat.

texas-hedge

Funny how everyone was posting the M2 money supply vs BTC charts a few months ago until that didn’t work out, now I guess it’s time to draw some new curved lines on a chart and see how it goes. Just HODL for a very long time and keep stacking, we will be ok no matter what silly charts like this say.

Flokithedog

the fees are a B\*\*\*\* on coinbase. Thats a buy and HODL platform, not a trading platform, even on advanced :(

Fearless_Finance007

Tf u using leverage for? Just HODL the damn thing.

MajHellman

Did it as well. HODL like your life depends on it 👍

EvidenceWorking

The irony of HODLing BTC is that in the pursuit of wealth you will realize wealth is not important. The BTC itself will not make you as happy as the HODLing process. The discipline of the HODL is the ultimate prize. The end goal is to die without selling. You must keep passing your BTC to each generation so that they can morally grow. A life in which you don’t need to liquidate is a life worth living.

El_precaution

Just HODL BTC for no reason

ReliantToker

The endgame for a HODL strategy is not to sell for a debasing currency, but to hold the ultimate collateral. You don't sell your "forever" assets like prime real estate or land, you borrow against them to maintain your lifestyle while keeping the underlying value.

XLinkJoker

Only selling for my dream condo & other cashflow opportunities, that cashflow will then fly right back into Bitcoin, otherwise HODL until retirement which is like 35 years away for me atm.

OpticallyMosache

I ended up selling for the first time back in September/October 2025. I thought I would only accumulate and HODL until my investments made it possible for me to retire. But then I started thinking about retiring early and being at home when I'm 50 will be a lot less fun than being home now while my kids are young. So, I decided to take a year off work and my wife was comfortable with it when she saw the liquid cash in our account (HYSA) from selling BTC. I still have mixed feelings but am thankful to still be holding a life changing amount of BTC if we hit $500k in the next 10 years. There's so much uncertainty in the future. I knew with 100% certainty that being home now and helping raise my kids would be the best life experience. Only possible because of BTC.

TheFireConvoy

If you take your keys to the grave you keep your Bitcoin in the afterlife. 🤔👼💰 HODL on!

Leather-Ostrich7122

I HODL’d

rgnet1

Yes. Hold until it becomes an undebated globally accepted form of payment for goods and services. There can be fiat running alongside it or not, I don't care. When I can approach someone to buy a coffee, a car, or a house, and they don't blink twice when I say, "can I pay you in bitcoin?," then it's a boring ass asset, and will just be a good, safe store of value. Until that time, it is underpriced. So you hold it or spend it when you need to. You don't sell to "take profit" and hold cash instead. You don't sell to buy back cheaper later - that's gambling. Spend, don't sell. That's what HODL should mean. I can't speak for the entire dumb Internet.

Fun-Grapefruit-3968

HODL

JuxtaposeLife

Your unit of account is Fiat. HODL long enough and it becomes Bitcoin and you can't risk buying USD with it because you realize which holds value better for the future.

Ryno__C

Binance has some longs to liquidate. $98k was a high not likely to be surpassed just yet. Let’s see if we can close above $97 then $98 and we’ll reassess. HODL off on buying for now (IMO)

Todo_es

Who TF is upvoting these trash memes that don´t even basic math? If you HODL Bitcoin you can NOT be 70% Down.

Sector__7

That’s the ultimate HODL. Much like getting locked up in jail for a decade. BTW, it looks like Starlink is free if you have a receiver already so they’re not completely cut off.

fishermans-frienemy

Those Iranians who held bitcoin "saved their wealth". But it's not as if they can buy a loaf of bread with it. They've now got to wait until their fiat currency recovers or a new currency comes in that is worth exchanging some bitcoin for. Too much disruption to just exchange it for another currency that might also be worthless in Iran. I doubt many merchants will just start accepting USD (and they're definitely not accepting bitcoin at the supermarket). So they're left bartering whatever they can for food and survival. But that's a good thing because it means they can HODL even longer!!!

na3than

Wearers would reveal themselves as noobs who don't know that HODL isn't an acronym. It's literally just a misspelling of 'hold'.

copyofa_

DCA a meaningful amount into BTC every week or month. HODL. Avoid boats.

Swieter

Buy and HODL. I understand the desire for more sats. Don’t gamble with Bitcoin prices and volatility. Instead find more ways to earn fiat and convert to more sats. Accumulation is the game that is proven to work. Too many stories of gambling and timing not working. Be strong.

Lothar34

Longing is wild too. Like I understand someone having a HODL position for when we eventually rise, while also maybe having some smaller short, but the leveraged longs really piss me off. They are the ones keeping our number from going up. The whales and market makers will shit on them, and therefore all of us, every single time.

DudeWhatThe

To me the bigger deterrent to selling is taxes. For that reason I’ll prob HODL for life. lol

Glass_Number_1707

Congress, the banks, the exchanges and hundreds of lobbyists are fighting as we speak to make the regulations spelled out in this clarity bill benefit them. I wouldn't get excited until we are sure of what the bill entails. Best way to navigate all of this is stack sats in a cold wallet and HODL. 👍

heyheyshinyCRH

How's that relevant? He's a rich guy, he wants a fat ROI. He's not gonna HODL forever and I wasn't implying that he would be forced to sell because he's scared of loss, he can sit in a losing investment forever. I'm talking about him dumping when the price is up

fugogugo

that's why HODL and Diamond Hand is a thing

Positive-Possible-94

The ironic thing is that people like you are actually part of the system that makes Bitcoin behave the way it does. That regret loop you described (“sold too early → price rips → never again”) isn’t just a personal story. It’s a recurring behavioral pattern across cycles. Some people leave forever after getting burned, but a lot of others do exactly what you did: they swear off trying to time the market and become long-term holders instead. When enough coins end up in those kinds of hands, those coins basically stop trading for long stretches of time. They’re not gone forever, but they’re effectively taken out of the liquid supply. That makes Bitcoin’s supply side unusually inelastic compared to most assets. Less liquid supply + new demand (plus a supportive macro environment) = upward price pressure during bull cycles. None of this means Bitcoin “always goes up.” The demand side is macro-dependent: liquidity, regulation, risk appetite, interest rates, and narrative cycles matter a lot. In bear markets, supply inelasticity doesn’t magically save the price — it just means there isn’t much distressed selling once the weak hands are flushed out. The key point is that Bitcoin doesn’t have cashflows or dividends, so valuation leans heavily on scarcity, adoption, and narrative reflexivity rather than discounted future earnings. That makes psychology part of the mechanism, not a side effect. Regret, FOMO, envy, and the vow of “never selling again” all combine into a culture that locks up supply and recruits new buyers. Individually, your trade doesn’t move anything. But when thousands or millions of people repeat the same behavioral pattern across cycles, it shapes the entire market structure: weak hands get punished, a subset converts into long-term holders, float shrinks, volatility and upside both increase during demand waves. Institutional adoption adds another layer. Institutions don’t “HODL” for ideology — they operate on mandates, risk models, leverage and derivatives. That can either stabilize or amplify volatility depending on the cycle. But the supply inelasticity still matters — it just interacts with a more professionalized demand base. So yeah, it sucks for you personally that you sold when you did. But from the system’s point of view, stories like yours are part of how the mechanism works. You’re not outside the process — your behavior (and others like you) is part of the structure that makes Bitcoin Bitcoin.

JimmyDneutron

Time in the market is better than time outta the market if your plan is to HODL then buy now before its back over 100k or dca put a thousand in a month

Hitachi22

Even worse was he told his followers to "HODL" while he was dumping his bags on them.

CyberCrud

This is accurate.  After I made my first $100k then after I paid off my mortgage, I don't feel the need to babysit it anymore.  No more FOMO.  Now I'm just HODL until the 2027 bottom so I can repeat for 2029 ATH. 💪

hasta_la_pasta

HODL!

Savings_Recover4242

Sorry, I forgot how this could become “rage bait”. For clarity, I don’t ever sell. But it does feel like, when I buy, it dips. This’ll be the last time I try to be “funny”.. Just hoping this post would’ve made a couple people feel better about their luck. But yes. DCA and HODL!

Alarming_Meringue131

Well done! Keep stacking, NOT TRADING, HODL!!!!!

LetWinnersRun

What part of “HODL” don’t you understand?

extrastone

I'll give you a different way of thinking of this: bitcoin is an anti-finance. Fiat currency is a perfect platform for all sorts of silly financial tools. Bitcoin will not suffer fools. Stop being a fool and HODL. Even better, make something useful and then use that money to buy more bitcoin and HODL.

WEM-BenjaminGrahammy

Thanks for the solid critique—fair points all around. 1. Lender could just buy BTC instead?Totally valid—no credit risk if you HODL. But this setup lets the lender deploy capital now (fund a house purchase) while still capturing BTC appreciation through fixed BTC principal repayments. It’s productive lending vs. passive holding, with the house as real collateral for default protection. 2. Borrower defaults anyway?Default risk exists in every mortgage, but the 365-day MA smooths volatility so payments don’t spike wildly like spot BTC would. In bull runs, payments rise gradually (and borrowers can hedge with BTC). In bears, payments drop—burden shifts to lender. Still 0% added cost vs. traditional 6-7% mortgages that double/triple the principal over time. 3. Pricing borrowers out / favoring savers?The goal is flipping the script: BTC’s expected appreciation becomes the lender’s return without explicit interest/usury. Borrowers get true 0% cost access to capital; lenders get compensated by BTC’s growth (historically strong vs USD). In a pure BTC future, it’s just wallet-to-wallet with no riba at all. It’s not perfect—needs legal/tax work and risk modeling—but it’s a bridge idea to make lending halal/ethical (I’m not Muslim btw) while leveraging BTC’s properties. House collateral helps on credit risk. Does that shift the view at all, or still a non-starter for you?

flying-fox200

The issue is that there might reach a point where it just doesn't drop to or below your buy-trigger price. There have been countless times people have tried this in the past, only to be surprised. "I'll buy it back when it goes down to $10K again!!"... only it never did. Best strategy is to buy and hold. HODL.

Bakkerrs

I like the spirit but not this way... In before HODL, zoom out and let it reach the moon alone.

Western-Source710

Not necessarily. I know what you mean, larger market cap, harder to move price.. but not necessarily. If there isn't any supply and everyone is wanting to buy, it'd still be easy to moon quickly with low volume. Which is why everyone needs to keep stackin sats, and HODL! Look at SLV, has went went bonkers this year. Not because a ton of new money has moved into it (which it has) but primarily because there simply isn't enough supply of it, it's supply is being squeezed with ease since there isn't much supply, meanwhile the price is mooning. That's going to happen to BTC really really soon and its going to be parabolic.

Illustrious_Way3898

Look at the comments here, where posters say they will dump on everyone as soon as the price goes up enough. That’s BS and what destroyed crypto the past few years. Keep hoping for a crypto recovery while planning to rug everyone else. Do the opposite and HODL and watch crypto moon!
