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.

So what happens to BTC in a widespread cyberattack/grid down scenario?
How I was able to HODL through the bear market by staking

*Czech republic user* In some stores (largest electronics store - Alza, grocery store - Rohlik...) you can pay by bitcoin. In Czechia you also do not pay income taxes from stocks and bitcoin, if you HODL it more than 3 years. Our national bank is also "investigating" crypto, and recently bought $1m in btc. Its not our national reserve yet, but we are not far from that. Its currency. Use it as currency.
Not only HODL but DCA. I used to DCA every week then I changed it to everyday and it makes me feel… good. BTC goes up I’m happy, BTC drops then my DCA buys more and I’m happy. I truly believe in the long term so it’s a win win. If for some reason BTC doesn’t turn out like we all hoped… well fiat is a no hope anyway so I’m willing. God speed!
The point of BTC has never been HODL, but decentralization. It was meant to be a peer2peer system where third parties are not required, instead, a network of peers (miners) validates transactions. Under this setup, the price of btc is irrelevant, the economic field is leveled for all countries poor and rich since everyone uses the same currency.
Anytime you buy BTC it was a good time It’s going higher brother HODL
Just HODL and don’t sell. This is a long term investment (~10-20 yrs). Think of it as a retirement fund.
Wow! BTC is on sale again! Buy more and HODL. (Hold On for Dear Life.). And buy you a Bitkey and move if off the platform you bought it on and self custody it. Don’t fret when it dips, cause it’s going to dip, duck and slide all over the place - but in the end, it’s going to go thru the roof. Welcome to be club. 😊
If people won’t spend Bitcoin because they’re afraid to miss the upside, that’s not ‘sound money’ that’s just speculative behavior. Real money gets used in everyday transactions because it’s stable. Fiat does that, but Bitcoin doesn’t yet. Yes, you can make the argument that once Bitcoin hits $X,XXX,XXX you could borrow against it, but at that point it’s functioning like any other asset class you leverage, not as currency And honestly, when half the subreddit says “HODL until $1M,” it reinforces the idea that Bitcoin is being treated as a speculative investment rather than as a medium of exchange. That kinda undermines the argument that it’s already “sound money.”
Yes? This is surprising? Crypto is the financial world of the 2030's...why do you think the Trump's have gone all in? The rich are taking it over. It is already attracting billions. Hobbyists and the kids who read the 2009 white paper, were pioneers. Just as the Robber Barons ultimately bought up the West? Institutional Investors are moving in. I see the reddit crowd talking about selling to buy later. Big mistake. It is all about taking a position. It is no longer amateur hour. HODL
Why would you? We all know this ain’t gonna last so unless you need some cash may as well wait and make more money. And selling at a loss I again ask… do you just like losing money? DCA CHILL AND HODL
I’m not an economist by any means, but it seems like we’re at a place where necessity-scarcity could be drastically reduced or eliminated for much of the world, and that human greed and selfishness have prevented the resource sharing that make that happen. I am not sure we’ll ever get to a place where universal basic income is guaranteed for the majority of people in developed countries. And so, we invest, we HODL, hoping that we’ll have enough of a life raft to float on and maybe have space to let loved ones cling on as well, right?
HODL until it breaks 1 million, even then, will only sell a bit, not all my sats.
Stupid question. If the point of bitcoin is to HODL. Why spend it. If it goes up 10x in 10 years that $10 coffee just cost $100…..
Don’t ever think you’re capable of selecting the bottom. Can it happen? Sure, we all get lucky at times and maybe you catch the bottom, but it likely will go lower. That said, if you’re holding Bitcoin longterm, say, 5+ years. This is a great buy!! Just remember, 3 years ago Bitcoin was around $16-17k. Good luck and HODL!
You got this! Rooting for you! HODL!
As the article says, it's a test portfolio. They're not just buying that crypto to HODL, they're going to be testing their procedures for managing and dealing with crypto. So it really opens the door for them to acquire much greater amounts in the future. I think it's a big deal.
DCA and HODL BTC, no matter what. You know the rules.
Some of y'all need to see this comic lmao. Sell, don't sell, whatever. The insitutions are just going to buy up more of your assets and then Bitcoin will go up without you. Not a single fundamental has changed with Bitcoin. Only thing that has happened is rising adoption. [HODL On Tight – StoneToss](https://stonetoss.com/comic/hodl-on-tight/)
people were promised at least 150k by December and it hasn't showed. Those who sold the top will need it to drop by more than at least 20% for it to be net BTC positive due to taxes. Hence if 100k is the bottom, then all clever bois will cry. This is why we HODL
I never sold eather, because Staking Rewards were so handsome. Months later staking stopped almost everywhere and I‘m holding three bags of Altcoins down more then 30%. So I HODL. Now my bags down 59% 😩. Any hope for Alt season?
Only thing you should HODL is BTC. Trade everything else
Nope, I only wished I got in sooner and held longer. Of course I’m more of bitcoin maxi but I did invest in a select few others, only really lost money on one and it was due to fomo, my one and only time, now I just HODL. Trading and leverage are extremely volatile and not what I’m here for
If you want to trade options IBIT is the way to go, if your just going to HODL then FBTC is the way to go.
You can't lose on Bitcoin if you HODL for long enough
Your results speak for themselves - home + more Bitcoin is a great outcome. I think there's value in both approaches depending on circumstances. "HODL" makes sense for accumulation and avoiding emotional trading. But rigid dogma about never selling makes less sense when you actually need the capital. The tax-efficient timing is probably the key - selling strategically vs. panic selling. Appreciate you sharing what worked for you.
“just HODL” is agenda based propaganda. Ignore this dumb phrase. Buy bitcoin if you’re into it, and sell it when it’s worth more, and you need, or want the money for something else. I’ve made a ton of money off selling my bitcoin, enough to buy a home, and even more bitcoin than I started with during down cycles. If you’re religious, then put all your faith in something, and ignore reality. If you aren’t, sell it when you need or want it, and buy more when you want it back.
When I say that I will HODL, that doesn't mean that I will keep and hold onto every single satoshi until I die. That would be like continuously adding to a savings account and never using the funds inside. I would never look down upon someone for "cashing in" a little bit every so often so that they could live and enjoy their life. That said, despite the risks that you mentioned, I believe the current best bet is to borrow against the Bitcoin instead of selling any of it off directly. I say that mostly for tax reasons, which may change in the future.
Talk about "burying the lead"...(An old newspaper term for presenting the result before presenting the situation in general)... This post starts by talking about analysts advising, I GUESS...RETAIL INVESTORS , to take profits based on possible dips. It goes on to say that the "stagnation"(?) of capital inflows vs outflows, is relevant...it is not, it is a constant in commerce and investing. The article ends by admitting that Institutional Investors are not or cannot do any of this because of the nature of being a large investor. Admitting that they have rules in place as to making knee jerk decisions. The point being that responsible investment strategies are anchored in being deliberative and "long" in their business model/ investment strategies. Smh. They could have led with that. Back to work. LOL. ..it is your money, do your research. Know why you invested and build a common sense approach to accepting unverified advice. HODL
Yeah for sure, but I just HODL anyway, and you may not be considering the benefit of tax free compounding when factoring costs: You can only withdraw your contributions from a Roth, not any gains - but I am playing the long game, and don't need to withdraw any gains before retirement. (I am 41 - so I may be more concerned with this than a 20 year old).
For me, especially since neither gives you self-custody, it’s a distinction without a difference. I’d rather pay the puny annual fee than the huge spread. To make it clear how big a difference that is, you’d need to HODL the “actual” (put in quotes because it’s under Fidelity’s custody) BTC FOR **EIGHT YEARS** per entry with zero trading in or out.
HODL means holding over a long time (years), so near term price action shouldnt be a concern for a HODLer
All we need to do is exhaust the whale sellers. $100k is a major psychological level. HODL worked for them... now they're buying yachts.
I started in 2021, my first purchase was at BTC price of $46k. Since then, I have only bought and not sold. So, I have HODLed for 4+ years. My average cost basis is around $56k, so I am at just under 100% profit on paper. I have 3.53 bitcoins, looking to sell about 0.4 BTC and HODL 3+ longer term
>Passphrase Wallet (25 words) I believe you already know this, just making sure, the passphrase can be another 24 words, not just one. >No external transactions are permitted, neither receiving nor sending Bitcoin. The only allowed transactions are sending and receiving funds to/from the trade account. Why? The HODL wallet will be linked to your trade wallet forever. Why not keeping them both completely separate? Otherwise very good setup, although I would still opt for the HODL wallet to go with some solid air gap option like JadePlus or Seedsigner.
Here's what's REALLY not being talked about. Most people here love chanting "NYKNYC!!", but that means you are withdrawing from the exchange to a self-custody wallet. If you are not tracking the exact destination of the coins in your wallet using coin control features, you will no longer be compliant with an IRS ruling change in 2025. For example: 1. You buy 0.5 btc @ $100k and withdraw to wallet. 2. You buy 0.25 btc @ $105k and withdraw to wallet. These will typically be at different addresses, but are you paying attention? Now you deposit 0.6 btc back into the exchange and sell 0.6 btc @ $110k. Where did the 0.6 come from? Was it the $100k lot or $105k lot or some combination? The IRS in 2025 no longer lets you treat it as fungible, you have to trace the coins themselves. If you want to sell the $105k cost basis, they must trace ON-CHAIN back to the exchange. Meanwhile, the exchanges just pool all crypto together, so you can't track that at all and you're reliant on their accounting method. I've yet to see an exchange that lets you set cost basis on a sale AT THE TIME OF SALE. This is BS for people who want to use specific identification method, which is especially advantageous for BTC HODL strategy.
Have you considered crime? It provides **fast accumulation**, plus the benefit of **free shelter** while you HODL /s
Those burgers always talkshit abt ppl who shorts, yet short made the most gain this cycle. They only know HODL and DCA 🤣🤣🤣
DCA + HODL long term. I just add what I can comfortably contribute after ample cash flow and overhead is covered. Time in the market is key and DCA allows you to not be concerned with price fluctuations since you get to take advantage along the way (assuming you’re in assets that appreciate long term).
$45K will happen if IBIT's shareholders sell off en mass. $25K will happen if the Board over at Strategy overrides Saylor during the next bear market and triggers a sell-off. You're gonna need a lot of Wall Street round-trippers signing onto the HODL dotted line, to keep price above $75K for the next bear cycle.
I have 2.76 BTC I am buying $500 every month DCA until I have 3.0 BTC I will not sell! Stay strong and HODL
Even HODL’ing since 2017 sold once and realized I fucked up. Bought back in and will never sell again. I still buy every once in a while.
Search the original HODL post and learn from our ancestors.
Do we have prove he indeed did HODL? And you never get return on kids, houses, weddings? Lol, sad life he has.
It depends upon what I think the crypto market will do. For right now, I am holding on because I still believe (though not super-strongly) that it still has some potential to pull upward. If that belief erodes, though, then I have no problem selling off some of my holdings and investing in stocks instead. Throughout my investing history, I have made the greatest gains in stocks. However, I strongly believe that over time, I will eventually make greater gains in cryptocurrencies. Because of that, even if I sell off some of my crypto holdings to reallocate into stocks, I will still HODL a good percentage of it. Perhaps about 50% of my current holdings.
Listen, you can absolutely 5x your money in crypto. I’ve done it numerous times since 2017. The problem is your timeframe is way too short. I usually wait for a crash & HODL sometimes for years to get a 5x. For instance I started restacking BTC 3 years ago to get a 6x. It’s too late in the cycle to go with the lower risk projects like Bitcoin or Ethereum to 5x again. Chainlink could still 5x & is pretty low risk b/c it has strong fundamentals & utility… & does have a catalyst coming on Nov 22nd with Swift going live. Idk if it’s a strong enough catalyst to 5x that quickly though.
One day Bitcoin is worth $10 Million, you ask yourself now why did I sell at $100K !!! (facepalm). Lesson: HODL and DCA !!!
Yeah, $689M/year to HODL BTC is wild, shows the real cost of leveraging without dumping. * Weigh loan interest against BTC upside potential. * Diversify collateral to cut rates. * Monitor volatility for refi opportunities. Bitcoin-backed borrowing platforms like borrow.satsterminal.com might help optimize.
Do you change your allocation with the markets, then? Or mostly try to HODL?
I do, that's why I don't bet my savings on Twitter advice. I read the charts, research second, third and fourth opinions, learn about the state of economy, crypto, technology, try and understand the macro outlook of society at large over the course of the next decade and century. And when I look at all that after having made and lost money in past cycles, leveraged and spot, via blockchain or etf, I can say a few things that help me: 1 - I'm always prepared for everything to tank and my life go on the same until the market returns. I do not depend on any of my investment money, nor do i put the money I depend on into crypto. 2 - there are no sacred cows, no dogmas. Even though everyone says HODL, that doesn't mean you shouldn't take some profits every 20% jump (adjust accordingly for yourself) to have some dry powder to buy up market dips below your average, but you dont have to, and if you're fidgety with trading, id lock away some amount beyond easy reach, like a cold wallet in a safe, which you can easily send new crypto purchases to, but think twice before trading. Hodling outperforms bad trading. However, in my case I recently discovered I enjoy taking btc and eth profits at peaks with -10% buybacks. If it pulls back, I extracted some profits while keeping the same amount of asset or I gained more of the asset for no extra cost. If it doesn't pull back (yet) then I say thanks for my gains and don't cry over lost potential, as it was an insurance policy when I didn't know which direction the market would go in. Anyway, you may need some extra cash and may want to increase your uninvested safety net. 3 - there are a lot of expensive errors and unknowns, but you can only learn from them if you allow them to be lessons, not flaws, and you persistently train yourself and hone your approach. Be careful and diligent, use orders, read charts and support/resistance lines, utilize stop losses when taking big risks or when you're confident of a market turnaround once a partivular floor is broken. 4 - keep records. Date, amount, fee (total cost with fees = cost basis) and coin pair(s) involved. Be prepared to estimate your taxes owed before reinvesting any gains so that you can pay the estimated tax debt immediately and avoid late fees, but also file a tax extension so you're less likely to be audited and hire an accountant to file for you. If you want to avoid this, never trade, just buy and hold. You wont have to worry about anything until you make a sale or a swap 5 - utilize every tax deduction possible and make ZERO mistakes. One big, easy way to reduce your tax bill while making smart financial decisions is to contribute to a Traditional IRA an equal amount to what you earned in capital gains. This will counteract it, but only up to $7000/year. Other deductions can come from selling any crypto at a loss and immediately buying back in. This will not work with stocks, but those losses do count against your gains in crypto, at least pushing the tax burden down the road until you sell again. 6 - as you earn gains, hold onto them until the market is in extreme fear, and then DCA in with large-ish amounts while things are cheap. Then set some sell orders for those at medium and extreme high expectations, as well as small amounts every +20% (maybe only selling 5-10% of your bag each step of the way if you're bullish). 7 - lastly, keep your peace of mind. Know your risks, improve your skill, stay calm, enjoy some profits if you could use it in life. Have fun.
HODL and DCA. You will be fine. Money printer is warming up again.
Yes. Always DCA, HODL, warm/cold wallet storage once at a certain amount — repeat. 5-10 years later you’ll be thanking yourself for the rest of your life and can take just profit, HODL, and diversify the money even more for further passive income. BTC and being smart with ETFs in the stocks market (should) = a life where money is at the least, not a huge issue and you can actually … ya know… LIVE.
Start small, HODL, learn the tech, don’t chase hype. Treat it like a long-term game, not a get-rich-quick scheme.
But HODL! Nah. I'll just get free money from burgers, thank you 🤣
100% agree, moved from Coinbase to River once I got serious about BTC. No fee after the first week on recurring purchases. Just set it and forget it and HODL!
Traditional stock is only outperforming cause I HODL. Soon as I sell it'll moon. Sold some 2 years ago to put into my mortgage and it almost doubled in value since. Stings so bad, could be almost debt free.
Yup. Without people buying at higher prices, it wouldn't ever go up. if people don't buy then it has no value. Not to mention that for every "dumb" person buying at 130k there's a ("smart"?) person selling at 130k. The HODL mentality makes people think that numbers go up simply by magic
You are not late. This is a longterm play. Keep adding and HODL. [https://postimg.cc/qtKdCKh9](https://postimg.cc/qtKdCKh9)

After years of listening about Bitcoin, I bought it too for the first time in Octobe via ETFs, and now I've prepared my Colcard Q + Sparrow Wallet setup, and so I'll start buying it in self-custody format since November. Just keep buying every day/week/month and stop worrying about the fluctuations. Bitcoin is slow for 80% of its time but when it catches pace, it blasts through the roof, so don't try to time anything, just keep buying it repeatedly and HODL. In 5 years we'll be looking at 200% returns or something mate, game on! 🤝
This. And not everything thinks in terms of game theory. Humans are human - with all the traits attached. If an OG lived in his parent's basement when he mined all those Bitcoin. Today, he might want to buy a private island or a large mansion. He gotta sale at some point. No one can just keep watching Billions of dollars in bank balance and not think about living life. Those who believe - HODL. Those who think it's bear market, would sell and buy back on next consolidation. Those who are new money and entering now, are slowly accumulating whether it's bear or bull. What does it matter when the price will eventually reach $250K in N number of years. Short term traders will behave - well just like short term traders in any markets. So, my point was - there is no singular force moving entire market single-handedly.
HODL on tight! The future's looking bright!
Agreed, the four year cycle game has changed. We have new very large players who can manipulate it whenever they feel like it. Mostly, for now. Just gotta HODL and keep stackin' well normies remain oblivious and big whales keep eating up what's left.
HODL. Leverage trading is not worth it when the top guys can see all the action
They sold because they couldn't help themselves. Centralized structures (governments, exchanges... *you know who*) cannot HODL. They can only confiscate and liquidate. Not your keys, not your sovereignty.
It's actually OCT-DEC 2026 Hard to put a date on it just yet but I got a time frame. Then HODL for (3) years until 28-SEP-2029 \[I got that date so far\] I've been doing this too long lol
Well, i doubt it. But it could happen. We have still the upcomming FED Meeting and the discussion about QE. I rather think we will touch 94000$, according to TA. You just have to stay relaxed and avoid leverage. Just HODL spot.
Dont have to HODL if you get liquidated. :)
Well if HODL, their portfolios would still look awesome
Literally this happened to me as well. Don’t worry OP. Just HODL your bag
Hey OP, don’t worry about these clowns giving you criticism. Just keep buying, HODL, learning and researching. You made the first step. E
My friend get the same when he told his dad to buy at 2000 and it crashed. Tell him to buck up and HODL
Haha your grandpa called you out. Tell him to HODL and wait for 200k
Have no.idea what you are talking about. JP Morgan is and will probably always be a premium and respected institution in the banking and finance world. Also, I DCA. So not sure what to make of anything you just wrote? Not a competition and I also disagreed with Jamie Dimon (JP Morgan )from day one on its take regards to cryptocurrency. For that reason, when this traditional banker/financial institution is analyzing and gives a value guidance on cryptocurrency? It speaks volume. On the other hand? I have never heard of the market maker you are following. Go for it. I have been investing since 1982. In crypto since the 2009 white paper on Bitcoin. I have no idea what your strategy is. I offer no suggestions and make no attempt to deride your choices. It is Friday. Enjoy. HODL.
Same. Heard about it in 2020 and got in then. Have HODL’d since.
That reasoning is the past. When Bitcoin was a "Hobbyist" interest, involving real money. JP Morgan is now offering guidance on its true value. Witness today's statement declaring Bitcoin to be "undervalued" by 70k... Things are different now. Get your .1 of an actual Bitcoin and HODL.
Here: DCA and HODL! BTD! Personal finance sub: Banned for mentioning Bitcoin. Unfortunately there are very few places where you can get reasoned advice.
In truth? How much of the public is even involved in regular "money swap" transactions by business bank investor groups. This is really where Bitcoin is active. The products and services as a result of these Exchange types of daily money moves is where the public pays attention. Get your .1 of a real Bitcoin. JP Morgan was not speaking to the regular public today when they acknowledged the resilience of Bitcoin as being undervalued by about 70k. If you aren't aware? JP Morgan fir the last 16 years has refused to speak of Bitcoin as a legitimate financial tool. Just FYI. Do your research, look up Jamie Dimon and his take on Cryptocurrency in general, including Bitcoin, then versus now ... HODL.
