Approximately 10.33% of the total Bitcoin supply, equivalent to 2,170,327 BTC, is distributed among ETFs, funds, private/public companies, governments, and DeFi. The rest is held by individuals or lost. HODL strong.

That’s what happens when you try to trade instead of HODL
The next three months will be wildly volatile, be prepared for anything and make sure you HODL.

Zero day trading here. HODL & DCA only. Just having a bit of fun, mate. Try it.
Because he did the right thing HODL. We all keep saying it, but for a reason. It works and Im also living proof. Trying to time the market is only for insiders and the just plain lucky.
My average buy price 82k i think. I dont feel great about it. I dont have money to buy more but luckily I don't need the money so I am going to HODL
I’m gonna stick to stocks… Apple alone has outperformed BTC over the last 5 years. I used to love SOL and LTC but crypto is too volatile, addictive and stressful for me. If I’m gonna HODL anything it’s gonna be a tangible asset.
Everybody thinks they can time the bottom. The reality is we never do. Best to just HODL.
I can always make more blood. HODL HODL HODL
Congrats!! Great timing. The Bitcoin Power Law is running at a -44% deviation. Should be an easy HODL ride up from here.
You saying they’re Canadian? Guys, wanna know how to be immune from short#term manipulation? Buy and HODL for years. Simple.
Future cycles will be even less performing. Why? The market is much more mature and bigger than 10-15 years ago, we will never see "100x" gains again. This is the typical 4 year cycle doing it's thing, many (including me) made posts about this towards the end of last year, saying that one should sell because the drop/bear market is coming. We were told we were idiots and that "everything is different this time". No, it's literally not. Just zoom out on the BTC chart, it's the same pattern as it has always been. Next cycle? Get ready for even less gains. I'll be happy if we see 175-200k as new ATH. Don't be fooled by the "to the moon" and "HODL!!!" guys, all they do is hopium/copium, not based in reality.
This is the mistake I made in my first 2 cycles (2017 and 2021). I was always told to "HODL" and "this time it will be different" and "going to the moon!" etc etc. Well, let me tell you, this cycle (2025) towards the later part of the year, I saw that the chart is shaping up to look exactly like the last cycles. Instead of "HODL" and "it will be different this time"... I was like "nope, I'm taking out profits". Voila, sold near the top (not perfect top, but doesn't matter), and I'm so glad I did. It's the first time I actually REALIZED big profits, and now I don't have to "sweat/care" about looking at the charts and seeing my portfolio declining like crazy day after day. And now that I have a lot of profit, I can buy in cheap again (probably later this year, like I bought in during bear in 2022), and then sell again for profit in 2029 or so. And in meanwhile I can use my cashed out money to earn in other ways (stocks or even just normal savings account). Moral of the story? Don't be a HODLer. Don't believe the "this time it will be different" narratives. Don't believe the hopium/copium. Don't be mislead by the greed of "it will keep going higher and higher". Be smart, don't be emotionally attached. Sell when you make good profits and rebuy when it's low. You'll make so much more money that way. And the best of it? You don't have to be a "day trader". You basically have to buy once during bear (even if it's not perfect bottom), and sell once during bull (even if it's not perfect high).
OP - you don’t have to defend yourself to these people. What you have been doing is the right thing, and you will be handsomely rewarded when it is time for you to retire. The people who are trying to tell you to sell and buy back in are not on the same playing field as you are. Also, it sounds to me like all you were trying to do was tell people to chill out and hold because that is the only way to ensure long term gains. Keep calm and HODL on, my friend.
I am buying the deep… every day and or each step down of 1000 USD I DCA small values like 50 and 100 USD Sometimes I end up spending a 1200 in one day! My portfolio is simple…. 100% BTC My plan is to HODL until 2028. And if I am ok with money then I will HODL untill 2030 or 2031, the estimated year for the last mines bitcoin. Will Bitcoin be my retirement plan!?! Time will show.
I'm sorry for bashing you but did you not do any research about the tech before hand? Like whyyyy would you EVER sell? I just don't get it. Like the points is for the love of god HODL. Like did you just jump in this to get a quick buck? Cause then it's obvious you sold, like did you not realize you picked the most volatile thing on planet earth to hodl aswell? The point is bitcoin is a way to store your wealth just like gold but way smarter than gold. Without the backing of instituations or storing your wealth in an item you can never lay your hands on, or travel with, or purchase with, bitcoin you can do ALL this stuff with, and it's in your pocket, with you at all times. And it just keeps increasing in value, because there's less and less, and only so many coins on planet earth, and you'll be lucky if you get your hands on any of them. It's the only FULLY decentralized valuable asset on planet earth that no government can control, OFC it will keep going up, and keep being used. You will be able to buy a house for bitcoin, pay off loans and the list goes on. It is also the only truly scarce valuable asset, gold there can techincally always come more of, but bitcoin? Nope. There is 21.000.000 and that's it. Gold you can find a new mine, or whatever, gold is great at holding value, but bitcoin is better at holding but also increasing, bitcoin is just better in EVERY way, and I just don't understand how you didn't believe this or realize this before you made your purchase. I wouldn't be suprised if you hold gold or bought when it started heading for the moon
Looks like you have a typo there brother, surely you meant HODL
I love posts like this. 😂😭 HODL ON BROTHER!
No, but this has been the third cycle now. In the first cycle I had no clue about any of it. In the second cycle, I was part of the hopium/copium "this time it will be different crowd", making me HODL my once huge profit all the way down to almost nothing. So this third cycle? I told myself "nope, I'm not gonna fall for the same shit again" and decided accordingly. It was also the first cycle where I made huge profits, because I didn't listen to all the hopium/copium/HODLers etc.
**HODL & DCA** is the name of the game!
Going to have to HODL now. If you can DCA between 40-55k
Thoroughly enjoyed this rant.. made my day! HODL!!!!!!
I just lowered my average from $102k to $95k today. Stack and HODL my friend. Try your best not to think about it for 12-18 months and you’ll be sweet
If you thought it was good to buy in at 125k and not now then you either gotta: 1. HODL and forget about it 2. Accumulate more You either Believe in BTC or you don’t. This is the test for all the weak hands
I just want to have enough money to retire, but I will HODL next 30 years. I really believe in BTC and XAUT. Also private coins like XMR, ZEC , XMR , DASH. But I don't which will perform better in the long run. Have all of them, but won't buy more except XMR.
We are going through flywheel effect of stock market effects , however BTC is programmed money engineered to go up in value forever over the time , we have started at $1, then $10, then $100, then $1000, then $10000 then $100,000 , all this happened within short time due to scarcity and adoption . have you noticed BTC come back very aggressive after every turbulence, so keep staking SATS , HODL strong , future is for Bitcoiners, ignore the noice .
Nope, I have DCA’d to 2.5% and heading for a max of 5% and will HODL from there.
Not an easy to HODL on such drop
You think that’s messed up, he k this out. Not long after I got into crypto, I convinced a good friend who knew nothing about crypto to buy 1 bitcoin when it was at $5k and HODL. He cashed in some GE stock and bought the 1 BTC. Meanwhile, I was busy not taking my own advice and playing the pump n’ dumps swing trading alt coins. I took $1k to a little over $30k and then ultimately lost everything on a shit coin. So, today he’s grateful and thankful and I’m kicking my own ass.
95% today? Or 95% a week ago? LOL. sounds like you'll be fine either way as long as you can HODL
Normal. It will stabilize around 50-55k. It will get bumpy for a bit. I rode BTC from 18k to 4k to 65k to 16k to 125k. HODL. Winter is coming.
I’ve been going since 2016, just HODL. Avoid the noise , happens all the time. It’s a long term play.
They say HODL as they buy OTC. Pssshfff
You can't time the market but you can stay informed of Bitcoins current value and decide how you are going to react. Two things I have noticed about Bitcoin: 1. People constantly implore you to "HODL" or "never sell" and if that is your position then Bitcoin fluctuation is irrelevant. 2. People miss selling at ATH levels out of greed wanting Bitcoin to go higher. That is why I said Bitcoin is a "long hold" investment that should be assessed by yearly gains/loses and not this daily crap that is just clickbait for armchair prognosticators who are rarely correct with their insightful predictions,
Yep. Grandad was in the Royal Air Force in WW2. Keep Calm and HODL.
Part of the process. It's a mental game. HODL and don't use leverage like Saylor.
You don't have to convince me to HODL..Convince me not to sell my first born 😂😂
This is not different. In fact, it's more muted than before. Bitcoin is a scarce asset. "Big Capital" can swing the price around like a chew toy. They will short MSTR and sell large blocks of Bitcoin at spot shaking out lettuce and leverage. They bolster their positions with targeted FUD campaigns. The fulcrum of price stability is held by those with their coins in cold storage and just won't sell at any price and have learned to ignore the noise. The fulcrum will slowly rise as adoption of real asset holders increase and put their coins in cold storage where it is not getting shaken out. When that fulcrum is hit on the downside, they reverse their positions. Once again, they go long MSTR (and other levered plays) and buy massive blocks of Bitcoin at spot and bolster their positions with anti-FUD effectively inducing retail FOMO. When FOMO hits stratospheric highs ... Rinse and repeat. These hedge fund vultures literally make billion$ off of scared and exuberant retail suckers. Don't be one. Stack. Not your keys not your coins. HODL.
Well.. i had $200k 6 months ago. HODL!

The top was in, and it was ridiculously obvious. 99% of people were clueless cause they read dumb posts on reddit and facebook groups. Crypto isn't broken. It's a lack of seriousness. People come to these markets thinking they're going to just randomly buy here and there and get rich from it. Get an alpha... learn how to crush both directions
If you sell now, you solidify your losses. HODL is the only way. If you weren’t prepared to HODL, you are in the wrong asset class.
I love this!! My grandfather was a POW in WWll, when he retired he studied the stock market and invested all of his money… long story short.. this one’s for grandpa!! I’m HODL
"If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry." - Satoshi Nakamoto Weekly reminder to HODL! Ignore the noise. Keep stacking and stay humble. 🖖
$60k is your dead cat bounce. Either you HODL or save yourself future pain.
It always feels this way. Buy. HODL.
Yes because the mantra in crpyto is to take profits and totally not to HODL
everyone rejoiced at "bitcoin ETFs". Legitimation they said.. it made bitcoin legitimate to institutions and corporations. They won't "HODL", sorry, they'll take the loss, sell and move on to something profitable. simple as that. Unless there's a drastic recovery soon, it will get worse as institutions will be forced to sell.
If you're worried about the number, sell and take the L, rebuy in at 65k and you can then be happy. If you're about long term profit, just HODL bro...... it's not that hard.
the bitcoin high kept it afloat. people tend to ignore the factor of "bitcoin ETFs" as well. While it was a nice confidence boost at the time, institutions will not (be able to) "HODL". if it doesn't perform and return profit, they will sell, take the loss and invest in something that is actually profitable.
mine is 110 and went all in. Feel shit but will have to HODL
Remember when it went from 69k to 88 in the same time? HODL!!
Buying the top at 4k will do that to you... another HODL'er is born.
Just HODL on and ignore the chaos! Trust me, this will pass.
https://i.redd.it/af83itzqzqhg1.gif After careful analysis of the daily candle, I responsibly accumulated **555.1234567 BTC**. This was not impulsive; it was the logical conclusion of watching a straight-line dump and deciding that fear looked overextended emotionally. I had been patiently waiting for a pullback in the $66K–$70K range, and Bitcoin, ever generous, decided to ignore that completely and deliver a full-blown existential crisis instead. I respected the enthusiasm and bought accordingly. This is a personal decision aligned with my financial position, which allows me to survive candles that resemble elevator shafts. Even in an extreme downside scenario, this position would be, at worst, mildly inconvenient to my lifestyle. This is not financial advice. Do not do this. I have a high risk tolerance, long-term conviction, and a suspicious amount of confidence. Bears are calling for $16K, $10K, and the end of civilisation, I wish them luck. Staying disciplined, calm. Good luck to everyone. HODL.
20-30k is when the real “discount” is going to be. Then the mania will start over again. The magical tether/bnb/usdc printers will turn on, prices will get inflated and more bagholders will be created as they yell HODL and become used as exit liquidity, rinse and repeat
My imitation on Saylor during his future earnings call: “You see once the world adapts and decides BTC is the future we will start trending up. We just have to wait for everyone in the world to come to an agreement and the price will be 10 trillion dollars. You see I’m holding for 1000 more years even though I’m already 61. Just HODL till the end of time and you’ll be fine.”
nothing new.. Bitcoin is more popular than ever, so the FUD is greater, just like before. Let the weak get shook out, and unfortunately the retail share reduces. Just HODL
I'm just happy I can buy back in and join the HODL crew
Why don’t you just HODL long term if it’s for retirement?
Nada. Just BTC being BTC. I’m actually pretty excited with all of the legislation and big wigs getting involved. Are we going lower? Probably. Case for bear market? Of course. Just HODL and stack if you believe in it. If not short the thing to hell.
What happened to HODL
This sub has been a non stop HODL meme for 10 years… not sure where you’ve been
HODL against the Wall Street bankers!
HODL against these Wall Street bankers! They won’t take our bitcoin!
He didn’t sell too early this time though. Well done OP - I wish I sold out there, and I’m sure everyone else does too. The whole diamond hands HODL thing was always bullshit.
You can send me the rest so I can HODL for you.
Identical. HODL’r since 2012. Every dip feels the same. Except the first one when I sold most of my BTC when I got scared. I won’t make that mistake again. Quickest way to lose your money and fiat independence is to sell when BTC drops. It’ll be back up again and while this dip is still far above my cost average, it pales in comparison to where it will be in a few years… like always.
1. Get a stable job in a stable career. Always try to grow and increase your income. 2. Pay the bills. 3. Live frugally as possible while still enjoying life/family/friends 4. Build a decent cash savings (3-6 months living expenses) for emergencies. 5. Buy & HODL with extra cash. Way less pressure. Way less emotions. BTC should be a long-term (5-10+ years) savings vehicle. Not a short term trading/gambling tool.
>People here slaughter you for selling your coins This is the internet, people slaughter you no matter what you do. If you care about what people think, you don't have to share your personal info. Many people here preach HODLing and DCAing because generally we all are not that good at timing entries and exits. Generally speaking people who HODL perform better than people who try to time the market. I don't criticize people who are successful at timing the market, I admire that ability (or in some cases luck). Congratulations on your 105k sale and good luck on getting to 2 full coins! We both want the same thing but have different methods of getting there.
great job! I was in a similar situation. I've held many a huge profit only to see it fade away as I HODL'd. After I saw $126 and then it came down I thought I should have sold. I then caught a bounce (the right shoulder of that $126 head and shoulder) up to \~$115 where I sold the last of my BTC. Unfortunately, I waited much longer to sell the rest of what was left of my crypto.
This.........right here. Same goes for me. I own a house, own an RV, own a truck, all school loans have been paid off, no debt, no nothing. All I do is buy and HODL. I will not sell unless time to retire, which is in another 30 years.
No panic! HODL 💪 for the long term, I'll resell them in 10 years
Guys it's been 5 years since we had a serious bull market. Everyone knows that crypto, especially alt coins, is a scam now. Nobody is going to HODL like in 2021 and years prior.. what will it take for people to realise it's over, especially for alt coins?
It can go back to 28k but I know it will also go back to over 125k HODL
Sounds like you've been holding for quite some time - what's it like being a few years into the HODL? Were you wealthy when you first started buying? Are you wealthy now? Do you feel a sense of security from holding bitcoin? I've only recently gotten my head right about holding, after a few years of "trading". I know I'll be better off in the long run, but damn between waiting week-to-week for my paycheck just to dump it into crypto as it tanks, then seeing my account balance the exact same as the previous week, can be really discouraging. Obviously my assets increase with every buy, but the dollar value certainly hasn't gone up lately.
Or getting a paycheck for 1000, and HODL, hoping it'll be worth \*millions\*. If you consider the person who bought a pizza with bitcoin in the early days an idiot because now that bitcoin is valued at millions, then you'll never use bitcoin as a currency. That story alone doomed bitcoin from ever being a currency.
I've been in since 2012 and I hate it every time. I miss the dopamine hit of the rise. Sigh and HODL.
I'm not selling my house just to HODL lmao
They will just be forced to HODL before selling it like the rest of us.
bottom 45k for 1.5 year then exploding to 250k before next bear market HODL
Honestly, this is sign for me that times are rough. I’ve seen subs like this take this exact direction before. It’s starting to look like the Doge sub around here now. When the only people talking are posting “HODL” and “To the moon!” and “zoom out”, things are not good. When your sub starts to look like it’s full of 12 year olds on their mom’s phone, times are bad. That said, my honest take on bitcoin is still positive. It’s still clearly an asset that people start dumping when the market is struggling and should not be compared to gold and silver at the current moment. Intentionally or unintentionally, the value of the dollar is cratering at lightning speed. I just hope some of this “adoption” takes place before the dollar is extinct. Gold and silver feel like the only safe bet in the market currently but prices are too high for me to feel comfortable getting in now. I do have to wonder what Saylor is thinking right now. MSTR has to be feeling a lot of pressure in this moment.
