I’m all about trading the bitcoin when the time is right but HODL guy and bitcoin has been good to me
Never sell unless you are fully out. Get the amount you want and HODL
I was panicking a bit back in 2018-2019 when it went under 5k I think. But HODLd. Will HODL now too.
A good mutual fund can see 10-12% annualized over the past 10 years. Properly & slowly moved to a Roth after you retire can minimize the tax burden. I use stocks/bonds/HYSA & BTC to stay diversified and basically HODL all of them.
and therein lies the opportunity. remember when Bitcoin rallied to all time highs? remember how every single time it did, everyone was convinced that it was going to change the world? euphoria makes people do crazy things, like buying the top and selling the fear. only the strongest survive. have faith in the thesis and HODL
STH you are at the tail end of earning your wings! HODL ON
That one's better than it looks. Pure HODL from May 2014 on the Lambo budget goes broke in November 2020, just before the 2021 run. Your moves turned it into 12.6 years and counting. Real life could only hope.
Beating HODL by about $490k blind, on the Lambo budget, is seriously impressive!

You won! About $26k ahead of pure HODL, and all of it from spending less for that one year. You never sold, so that was the only difference. Congrats 🎉
I've invested at 83k,82k, and 76k mark. And I'm not really fazed by the resent dips. there are reasons for the dips which I could understand. resent events like, mid-term, cost of living, cost of gas, the war with Iran, corruption in politics, and scamming/hackings. However, this shouldn't deter investors (such as I) that much. Gives us an opportunity to buy the dip. whether it dips to 40k is alright for me, cuz I can buy that dip too. The way Bitcoin is structured shouldn't allow itself to fall to 0$. I have a strong intuition that we'll see Bitcoin reach 100k again even surpass it. But first, the things in the world do need to settle down before we see it start going up. the risk I'm taking on Bitcoin is manageable; I would be alright if it even hit 0$. but 0$ is super unlike to ever happen. If bitcoin can have the same momentum that it had from 60k to 86k, then it still has strong potential. As of right now, best thing to do is buy and HODL.

Thanks, good thinking. Some of that is already in: shared results say "🙈 blind mode" (or "Mystery month" for the daily), dated runs show the month, and spending cuts appear as 🍜 in the moves line. Splitting the result into "what trading did" and "what living on less did" is a really good idea though. Right now you only see the combined effect against HODL.
Blind mode gives HODL or Fold a useful way to separate decisions from hindsight: recognizing a historical crash could otherwise change how someone plays. I'd make shared results distinguish blind runs from dated ones, especially for the daily mystery month. Showing the spending cuts alongside the final comparison would also reveal whether someone survived through trading decisions or simply living on less. I make ThreadFox.

HODL or FODL was right there
Live below your means. Grind on your craft. Run a node. DCA. HODL. Replace FOMO and panic with discipline. Get fit and healthy. Don't think or worry about the price. Let time work for you.
Because I am HODL, I know that its ceiling is not a particular company, but the bottomless abyss of global fiat currency devaluation. Today, when sovereign nations and top institutions are only beginning to include it in their strategic reserves, what you see as the 'high point of risk' may just be the 'absolute starting point' of a new era.
B HODL on X demonstrates the beauty of Lightning each week, sending to 800+ addresses in just a few hours, reaching people around the world. Pretty cool to see Bitcoin in action.
This guy know how to HODL.... Name checks out
This article almost sound prophetic. However, it cannot distinguish crypto currency from meme coins. That is the difference. Crypto is functional and evolutionary. Meme coins are novelty coins like cabbage patch dolls or pet rocks. .that is the difference. Fiat currency is in its final days. Cryptocurrency is inevitable. As for Bitcoin? HODL
I love this. All of it. I love watching it all. HODL 🥇
Ok. As retail you have no chance of calling short-term volatility, when a bubble collapses and when the bottom is exactly. So we need a different approach a low frequency approach - i.e. long term. Using the term HODL is a bit vague for me because what you are relying on? For me that thing is adoption and arbitrage , which appears to be following a Power-Law. See by power-law.nl and on YT look up Geoffrey West to see why power-law are applicable. To cut a long story short; buy closest to the floor price as you can, then you should get 34% CAGR. This CAGR reduces every year reaching 16% CAGR in 20 years. In the meantime there will be bubbles and since you buy at the floor it's all upside. We are not quite at the floor today. [This Bitbo chart](https://charts.bitbo.io/long-term-power-law/) tells you the time to reach the floor price (scroll down). Currently it quotes 7 months, so you'll have to wait that long before the 34% CAGR starts. Of course short-term you might get an upside, but that's difficult to predict. Anyway, just my opinion, what do I know, I'm an idiot. And my opinion, 7 months is not a bad wait. Last week it was 5 months. Who knows how long you will have to wait tomorrow.
What's a profit? Does that involve selling? HODL
Bro - chill lol this is nothing compared to FTX collapse pandemic dump. The worlds ok ✅ HODL
There is software available if you want to literally match the letter of the law (which vary based on jurisdiction), and calculate gains on each transaction at the exact time it happened, etc. Another approach, which I believe matches the spirit of the law, is to move your buys, sells, and what you HODL through wallets you connect to such software, and then have spending wallets (Lightning, and maybe on-chain too, depending on the size of your purchases). Then kind of like when you take cash out of an ATM, the capital gains happen when you fund the spending wallet, and you're not tracking every Lightning latte payment at the exact time it happened (as you already paid the capital gains when you moved it to the spending wallet). Of course, the 'spirit of the law' approach above would be off by cents or a few dollars if the price of Bitcoin swings wildly, but in general, I think that is what the gov't is after, unless they are literally trying to trap people on the letter of the law. Of course, like many seem to be expressing here, you can also just do a 'screw you' to the gov't, and hope there are too many doing so to prosecute. But, since hardly anyone does no-KYC, if they ever actually try, they'll easily catch these people. But, as long as they are paying taxes on major sells... are they going to go after them for the missing $10? At the end of the day, make your own decision and do what you feel is fair. There are tools available to do it any of the ways above, if you want to put in enough effort.
Without exchanges, crypto is worthless. The only thing that gives it value is the speculative trading aspect. If you need to pay gas/network fees to use a CEX it removes like 90% of what people want from crypto. Basically it's a huge hit towards liquidity, and without liquidity it doesn't have much supply/demand to inform the price. If everyone HODL's, it's completely worthless. So it's not great for transactions (gas/fees are worse than tax), it's not great for fraud, and hodl'ing it is only good if there is a market you can sell it on. But honestly, people won't smarten up to it.
Probably should have been more specific. DCA HODL **BTC.** Have I bought and sold other coins? Of course, that’s where greed comes in. Haven’t sold a single sat in 8+ years.
Oh baby I love when things go on sale. HODL
Who said you have to be the biggest winner to benefit? Everyone chasing greed will lose. DCA HODL remains undefeated.

Retail Fear, tech stocks dropping like crazy. BTC isnt really a HODL thing anymore. BTC is all about riding the wave and capitalizing when you can now.
Don’t sell it. It’s already invested. Don’t ruin your fathers HODL
HODL 10 years and don’t pay attention to the price or anything else. Don’t tell anyone you have it when you are rich. Private key. Then you can spend it slowly when it hits highs.
Smart imo and good on you for doing the work to have the conviction to do such. I think you’ll be happy with this decision. HODL
Agreed, the spread is the real finding. The stack size is mostly a bet on the price path, with a spending plan attached. I think you’re right about flexible spending, and it should matter more for bitcoin than for stocks. Every dollar you don’t spend near the bottom saves a lot of coins, because each coin raises so little there. The one catch I’d watch is timing - bitcoin bear markets tend to sit near the lows for a year or two, so a cut that only lasts 12 months might end right when you need it most. The simulator doesn’t model that. Spending only goes up with inflation, so I can’t give you a proper number. The closest I’ve got is the HODL or Fold game, where you can choose to spend 25% less for 12 months when the price drops, on real price history since 2013. It’s a rough way to see the effect, not a proper test.
Don’t worry. Just HODL. Keep them in Mt. Gox…
I buy many services with BTC, dinner, electric bill, utilities, etc. Hotels, etc. HODL is a different topic
I don't understand how this makes any sense. - bitcoin as payment - bitcoin replaces fiat - HODL, 30 year horizon - DCA, keep stacking - to the moon Surely people understand the first two statements contradict the last 3? Either btc is just an investment vehicle or it's replacing fiat, it can't be both.
Great! Another 24K and you’ll have a full one, HODL my friend!!
It sounds like you have enough to not have to sell at all. HODL and borrow against it if you need cash.
Born with nothing, you are right. HODL
If BTC is not a "safe investment" then there is no safe investment. If BTC "gets hacked" then everything gets hacked. No investment anywhere matters, your money on the bank won't matter, that is, if that happens. I think there's a lot of fear surrounding AI including pessimism. It's not for nothing that our adage and core maxim is: HODL.
1. Buy, DCA. 3. Leverage when it dips, to buy more. 4. Buy more when it keeps dipping, to keep collateral levels. 5. HODL when it goes up. 5. Repeat from 1.
January 28th 2021 will no longer be known as they day they stole our buy button... But as the day where the apes of the world declared in one voice! WE WILL NOT SELL QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT! WE WILL NOT SELL OUR SHARES (OR COINS) WITHOUT A FIGHT! WE'RE GONNA HODL ON! WE'RE GOING TO THE MOON! TODAY WE CELEBRATE OUR DIAMOND HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO-HOO!!! YEAH!!! FUCK YOU HEDGIES!!!!!!!!
HODL at least a one full cycle (4 years), beside you bought at the bear market, so congrats on getting in the right timing
🚨🚨 BITCOIN HAS COLLAPSED. FINANCIAL SYSTEM IN JEOPARDY. 🚨🚨 Bitcoin just dropped $3. THAT’S A WHOLE 0.003% OR WHATEVER. THE CHART IS RED. THE VIBES ARE WORSE. 🚨 SELL YOUR HOUSE. SELL YOUR CAR. SELL YOUR CLOTHES. SELL YOUR WIFE. (She’s probably already in a 100x leveraged short.) The institutional investors are panicking. Whales are crying. Satoshi has been spotted updating his résumé on LinkedIn. My $47 portfolio is down $0.14. I WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM THIS. 🚨 EMERGENCY FED MEETING AT WENDY’S PARKING LOT IN 10 MINUTES. If BTC drops another $2, we’re reverting to a barter economy. Start stockpiling canned beans and USB-C cables. IT WAS AN HONOR LOSING MONEY WITH YOU ALL. 🫡📉 #Bitcoin #BTC #CryptoCrash #HODL #WeAreSoBack
Who cares? It is adoption. Keep it. If course China will accept any increase in the international markets. Excellent! If they had destroyed it or said it was useless? That would have impacted financial markets. This affirmation of the value in holding Bitcoin. HODL
The HODL button only works if you close your eyes and delete the app.
Best part is he can't check the price every five minutes. Perfect HODL conditions.
1) Are we forgetting the breach involving Trezor’s shipping provider in August? 2) If we have no business owners, isn’t that a big problem? 3) If our life goal should be to HODL BTC, how does ANYTHING get done? Where does the electricity to run the PC come from?
my advice it just to buy major altcoins and btc and HODL
Aren't people using BTC globally offline with pagers or old phones? Bitcoins zero counterparty risk. Quantum well it effects normal banks too so. I believe in BTC more then $ HODL
It is a limited supply opportunity. There is no reason, other than the current leveraging strategy, that can possibly make this go to zero. LOL. No offense intended to all of the Reddit geniuses. Most were around seven years old in 2009. HODL
People always try to make sense of the price. It's impossible. All your models will be destroyed. Just HODL works.
Run a node. Don't let fiat price swings enter your emotional state. No FOMO no panic. Live below your means. Focus on your craft. DCA, HODL, watch the hash rate securing the network and the blocks tick tock on your node, not the fiat chart. Remember, honey badger dgaf about price.
What did he say? #BUY MORE AND HODL?
The only realistic bear case is government overreach going full 1984 on on-ramps and self-custody. It would crush short-term fiat price and cause massive volatility. But honestly, that just proves why we need it in the first place. You cant ban the math or shut down the network itself. Worst case, it goes underground for a bit, but the fundamental need for hard money will always win out. HODL strong.
Hell yea, in about 10,000 more years, BTC will also have a 29.1T market cap. All we have to do is wait. HODL!!!
Exactly zero influence. I'm a simple man, I buy bitcoin and HODL it in my own air-gapped cold wallet.
Oh man, haven't got the memo yet? HODL and pump it. Simplicity itself!
Usually the harder decision is the right one. Enjoy your freedom! HODL
Just HODL. You just picked the wrong possible period of time to start doing it, but still, you will get big money in the future. Just trust in BTC. It will only get more valuable with time.
That's just another shitcoin, mate. Zoom out to 10 years and compare it to BTC. It's constantly losing value in sats. I wouldn't HODL it long time.
Pizza for the low price of 10,000 BC 🤣 I still wonder about that guy. Anyone knows if he continued to HODL?
I fully agree. I don’t understand the gambling. Just DCA and HODL. Wins every-time.
Never even spend it , just HODL indefinitely
Patience doesn’t pay off after just two years. HODL even stronger.
Agreed. Limits plus DCA and HODL is a solid stress free accumulation strategy.
You are supposed to trade it for goods and services. Stop the HODL!
Bought in October 2017. 6k per coin. 30 months later I was back at square one. HODL
You need one full cycle at least. HODL and chill. Give it another 2 years.
Can I prod for a second? Do you view buying bitcoin as “destroying your cash to acquire bitcoin”, do you believe fiat is worthless? And do you believe it is embarrassing to buy bitcoin with said Fiat? Is it sketchy and untrustworthy and a stain on your career to buy BTC with fiat? To me, kinda is. It means you are paying the electric bill of the miner. And now you must HODL. But really, to be honest, buying BTC always seemed like a losing game, when there is a new block every 10 minutes. You’re just not doing the full work, you’re buying BTC that someone else did the work to create. BTC has always been cheap AF until recently. Sorry, I just have a weird perspective on buying bitcoin, and trading it at all for FIAT, or vice versa. Everyone should own some bitcoin , right? So in a way you’re taking a handout by buying BTC, and the person selling it has no true understanding of the value of said BTC. Embarrassing deal overall. But I still sure do wish I bought some BTC back in 2012, instead of being a stuck up pri- I mean person, in the way that this comment illustrates about me.
“Deep” was that a deliberate phrasing for “dip”, kind of like HODL was a misspelling of HOLD and became a life of its own? We should adopt “deep” to mean a crypto “dip”, I like it ❤️
In the early days Litecoin just marketed itself as a faster and cheaper Bitcoin, "digital silver". Also as a test net. They should have shifted narrative to a store of value to protect against currency debasement since it's a fixed supply coin. Low fees and fast confirmation is not enough to add value. And Charlie Lee telling his followers to HODL while dumping his bags on them didn't help.
Well we’re a lot of people that have been f\*\*\*t over the years in crypto. I’m down around 8k in 2 coins because I was new and naive. But at the same time I’ve learned the lesson and now I’m somehow glad I did because I would probably be losing more money if I didn’t get burned. Now I just HODL one coin and bide my time for a few years.
