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.

How I was able to HODL through the bear market by staking
Mentions
I can't agree more, in the very near future a million satoshis will be people's life long goal, you can scoop it now for under $1000. Just DCA people damn, we don't use the term HODL ironically. Get it while you can!
Good luck timing the market. Just HODL and add more when it goes down. KISS
Facts. It’s way easier to “HODL strong” when your basic life stuff is already handled. Some people aren’t stressed because Bitcoin is volatile, they’re stressed because they put in money they couldn’t afford to lose in the first place.
HODL but know when to FODL
Nothing unexpected about it. It’s obviously gonna rip past ATH. I mean look at its history. Hilarious that people say “it’s over” when it retreats a few percent. HODL
I'm going to HODL and continue to DCA why the price is down. Much more profitable to chase dips than chase pumps.
You are not alone.. so many guys were on here posting that “it’s over” and have now deleted the posts.. like I said last week.. chill.. HODL and chill.. keep stacking. In 5 years you will regret having sold any at $85000
90% of the posts here are basically a different version of the original HODL post.
This is totally one completely the opposite of HODL. You can’t have it both ways. Will it crater more? Maybe Tread water till next event? Maybe Is consolidation over ? Maybe Was this really just a massive blow up for leveraged investors? Maybe.
Don't sell in extreme fear, and don't buy large quantities in greed. DCA, HODL, if you are trading sell in greed and above, buy in fear and extreme fear. Now is a time to DCA heavy. Selling would be foolish.
The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing. Stack those sats and HODL.
New traders lose everything in ALTs. Veterans HODL BTC and sleep peacefully at night.
Another example of why you should just HODL BTC only.
False dichotomy. You can do some of both. For example, HODL half and try to time the market with half. I wouldn’t sell at this price anyway. We should at least get a failed attempted bounce, and I would plan to sell that if I were trying this strategy.
You’ll be good just HODL. Do not sell
Everyone can tell you what you want to hear, but the truth is nobody knows! DHF!! (DCA, HODL, Forget)
lovely metaphor- helps me justify HODL’ing
Welcome! Now HODL! As a Bitcoin preacher, I advise you not to preach it... the ridicule and hate you get is not worth it. But that's on you
Don’t listen to all these KIA’s (Know It All’s) Buy BTC, HODL n STFU - Stress Free !!!! No guessing, No BSing.
I'm just gonna HODL and hope for the best. I'm in it for the long haul.
Lmao what the fuck are these guys saying? They want to have their cake and eat it to. >"Bitcoin being limited is a perk" >"Here are some ways it might not be" >"Actually its not limited because it can be infinitely divided" >"So its not limited?" >"Actually it is" Its the same thing as them saying "nobody knows shit, history doesnt dictate the future" then in the next breath "Ive held for 10 years, trust me and HODL" They want to have their cake and eat it too
You save it until the magical day that the US dollar is dethroned as the world reserve currency and bitcoin fills that role. When that happens you will be the equivalent of a multi-millionaire or billionaire. At that point you will SPEND the bitcoin. Not sell it. So you HODL until you can spend. Will this actually happen? Who knows. If it does happen, when will it happen? Who knows. But I am holding on to a small amount just in case. It was like one paycheck worth when I bought it. Maybe two paychecks right at this moment. Down from three paychecks at the all-time high.
I do believe 95% has been mined. Just fyi. HODL
Perhaps this is an unpopular opinion but I have come to the conclusion that, due to its high volatility and low intrinsic value, crypto is far better suited for trading than investing. Why HODL through a bear market?
Cashed out into stable at the last second. Ready for the 4 year HODL
Yee have little faith, and paper handz. HODL and keep buying now. You will thank yourself in a couple years.
Congrats for unlocking the HODL through any and all losses achievement. You belong in wallstreetbets. Just buy GME next time.
I buy dip and HODL that's the plan.
Who's honestly quitting their job over a run? Seems like it goes against the HODL Logic.
The scarcity argument is literally the only thing keeping me sane right now. Why sell the hardest asset on earth for fiat that's being printed into oblivion? HODL is the way.
Perfectly fine :), just something to keep in mind as you go. Another thing you might want to consider is looking into Cryptos that currently have staking incentives. That way you get "dividends" paid out as long as you hold them, so it literally "pays to HODL"
The Canada Pension Plan, one of worlds largest, invested in Microstrategy Stock just this past October, yes the prices are down, but these are very forward looking fund managers, moral of the story is buy, and hold for 10 years, if you cannot handle the noise, it's not a market you should be in, or possibly do what many smart traders do, have a core position of physical BTC, and have a trading position, in leveraged BTC, and trade accordingly, buy and sell paper Bitcoin, and if you make a profit, but the physical coins and HODL when buying opportunities like this come along.....
yes, you doing it right, just DCA HODL
This dip is brutal, but if Y'all hang on, I suspect the next peak will be a new ath. I have no evidence to support this, so don't ask how I know. We all know, that no one knows. However, this I believe to be true. HODL
Bro sold his Bitcoin at ~10x profit after preaching HODL for a decade… and you guys are actually mad at HIM? Lmfao. ‘bUt hE sAid DiAmOnD hAnDs’ Yeah, and you listened. That’s the joke. He played you like a fiddle and you’re still coping with laser-eyed profile pics.
You only lose if you sell. HODL and turn off the chart. DCA and have faith. I'm riding this to zero or a Million. There is no in between.
Pin this post. This is the way of thinking a proper person, with such assets like btc should follow. HODL but treat it as helping hand, not a idol to be praised unconditionally. BTC for you, not otherwise.
HODL and everything is fine 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
HODL for 10 years. If you sell now, your loss is realised. Bitcoin is controlled by the likes of BlackRock who need to realise their profit before year end. January will be parabolic and early sellers are going to lose their minds and FOMO at much higher prices.
Even Saylor sold some for tax reasons a year ago. It is normal and part of being a HODL er to take some lifestyle chips of the table. He is not saving it, but using it for a business venture which is legitimate imo. Any HODL er should enjoy their profits by buying a house, getting married or helping kids study. The goal is not dying with the Trezor stick in your pocket. It is to use bitcoin to help you escape the hamster wheel of taxes, stress and money printing. I am not a fan of Robert, but he is not a scammer or fake. He is an investor and business man. This is late cycle. So taking some chips of the table is wise.
Yeah..sure 😂😂😂 this idiotic Bots say that since BTC was at 105k 😂😂😂 buy hard and HODL. So they can sell to you
HODL is over. Getting back in at 55k
Funnel it on down. Send it in the HODL!
He has a lot of money, period. If this isn't you. HODL and keep your chin up, man.
HODL is an acronym for Hold On for Dear Life because BTC is such a volatile asset.
Man, I've been holding Bitcoin since it was trading under $50k back in the day, and every time I see the price dip, I get that pit in my stomach like everyone else. But damn, looking at it now hovering around $83,500... this feels like one of those "generational wealth" moments people always hype up. You know, the kind where your early bet turns into something that changes your family's whole trajectory? Not saying sell or anything—HODL forever, right?—but if you're on the fence about stacking more sats, maybe this is the reminder. What's your take? When do you think the real fireworks go off?
Newbies and too many Bitcoin investors are emotional. They panic when it goes up and then they panic when it goes down. It's all fear we are missing out or fear of uncertainty. It takes a certain emotional stability to invest in something like Bitcoin. And Bitcoin is not for the day traders they're nuts! Just do what you've learned (HODL, buy the dip) and what you know and you'll be fine. This is what Bitcoin does, it's volatile and unfortunately it does this based on the emotions of the people who have it. Annoys the crap out of me!!
Actually, you have to look at the situation, not the price. I've been in the game since Mt. Gox. So I've seen it all. I hodled my BTC. However, I have a very good understanding of the market and I'm not a fan of what I've seen. Michael Saylor buying up billions worth on borrowed money pumping the price from 15k to here. I held the whole time because I knew he was buying, as did many other people. Why would you sell? You know he's pumping the price. Well now we are at a point where he is out of money and is becoming a SELLER. He literally pumped this thing from $15k as a buyer and created euphoria so everyone else started buying. Now he has to start selling. I've never been more confident in selling some and hedging the rest of my entire stash. So as you can see, I'm not trading price, I'm just trading the situation. I'm a HODLER, but only a moron who HODL through this.
i HODL, i think we will see big declines, but that's only good if you plan to save bitcoin for a longer period of time.
Well deserved. Don’t leverage. Buy and HODL
Most investors don't have the "Diamond Hands" they claim to HODL 💵
I did guess 125k would be the top for now. I was pretty damn close! But did I sell? Hell nah! Been DCAing bigger dips adding more to the DCA. HODL on!
In 10 years we can look back and see if they were right or laugh at how wrong they were. The one thing I don't get is how many people say Bitcoin will go to 0. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I feel like the amount of Bitcoin Maxis is too high for it to ever go to 0. Even if the price tanks, plenty of people will want to buy it and HODL. HODL gets discounted too often.
In case you have forgotten: Buy the dip and HODL!!!
On paper I'm down $140,000 from my high. I'm not worried. I bought another $14,000 worth as it was climbing down. Stay strong and HODL
My advice? Sell. I was in your shoes in 2017/2021, I decided to "HODL" because of bad advice on sites like these... and it was the worst decision ever. The bags kept getting heavier, the losses higher. Many alts never recovered, are basically dead now. I would rather have had 50% of my value (or whatever), than what it's worth now. Even after 2 cycles (8 years) with 2 new BTC ATHs, coins that are -90%. Alts are absolute SHIT to hodl. And even BTC... if you sell now, you can buy back in cheaper in the next year or so and you'll end up with more BTC than you have now. I know it really, really hurts to sell at a loss, but the "sunk cost fallacy" is REAL. It's so psychologically blinding that it makes you make bad decisions. So let's say you bought .1 BTC for 10k and now its worth 7k. You don't want to sell, because you lose 3k. Well, the question is: would you buy that same .1 BTC right now for 7k (thinking it's a good or bad deal/time to buy)? If you wouldn't buy, then it means you should sell.
This is bad advice. Do NOT HODL - especially alts. I was in your shoes in 2017 and again 2021. I bought a top 5 alt coin in 2017, it never even reached it's ATH again in 2021, and now in 2025 it's basically dead. I would have been better off selling basically at ANY time... HODLing made me lose 90%+. With BTC it might be a bit of a different story, HODL will probably work out in the long run. But even here you have to ask yourself: if you sell now, can you buy in back cheaper in a few months/year from now? I personally think yes (which is why I sold everything last month... and it's dropped over 30% since then already). Do not make the mistake of holding heavy bags for long. It's better to cut your losses, use the money in other investments (even if it's just a savings account getting a few percent interest), and then come back to rebuy during bear market lows.
We all keep saying the same thing over and over and over for years. Just HODL. What do people do? Not HODL.
Because it’s all about momentum When momentum is now to the downside People don’t want it cuz they were planning to sell for a quick profit Real HODL gang buys all dips Diamond hands until 10mm per BTC
Humbled. Respect for showing that. HODL
I think on a 4-year cycle it's still technically called investing. Certainly not day-trading, and not even swing-trading as that is defined in days/weeks. But IDC about labels, really. Being honest, HODL would have made me more wealthy over the long term. But with much higher risk along the way. Clarity of hindsight makes that risk seem insignificant today, but of course that's not how it works in real time. And I know myself pretty well: I'm no steely-eyed, diamond-handed perma-bull. There were several long periods of time where I had no BTC exposure at all. Didn't get the timing perfectly right (especially at first) but made good gains each cycle and slept well. On a *risk-adjusted basis*, I'm quite happy with the performance, especially lately (learning curve applies). Now we'll see how the inverse BTC ETF performs (first cycle trying this, will be cautious, averaging in a portion of the recent gains only). PS: All this is a small-ish portion of my portfolio. Most is boring index funds etc. Because I'm old.
These drops are not worth stressing over. You’re in a good position, just DCA at this price for some extra cushion. I think people struggle with the fluctuation because they use money they cannot afford to HODL and do not grasp that fiat currency is depreciating every second every day indefinitely. Good for you to not give into the sell panic nonsense
Considering the amount of people who don't actually know the history behind the term HODL, (evident from the number of wrong replies) I would say that this is not a fundamental part of understanding Bitcoin. Taking part in a meme is easy and doesn't require much thought. Understanding the history/origin of the meme is deeper. Neither one of them is an indicator of "noobishness". If anything I'd say wanting to understand the origins of something means they are transitioning out of a noob mindset. Just my 2 sats
I had been here since 2015. Just HODL guys. Keep stacking.
Selling has nothing to do with price go up or down. Every transaction has a seller and a buyer It just depends on which side the buyers and seller are in agreement Are they buying/selling on slightly below going rate? This would drive the price down. Or are they buying and selling on slightly above going rate? This would drive the price up! The fallacy in thinking selling has anything to do with price is the notion that holding will drive the price up. Holding can help a scarce valuable desired commodity go up for sure, but what holding really does is limit how many people are “voting” on price. Low buying and selling is called “low volume”. so if everybody but two people are holding, and only two people are “bidding” then only those two people decide if price goes up or down. Holders are not part of volume, and have no bearing on price go up or down. They become hostages to those that are willing to participate in volume. HODL some, And trade some in the direction you want bitcoin to go.
Not when you ride the waves and anticipate each year that goes by. I hope that some people never learn because they support the market while it crashes back 50%-85%. HODL and BUY the dips ya dips. ... 2025 - SUMMER \[WOW!! Sell everything 06-OCT-26\]--- $126,000 USD 2026 - FALL \[and it will fall - then - rebuy DEC 2026\] --- $18,900 USD - $62,000 USD 2027 - WINTER \[not much happening - DCA\] --------- <$100K USD 2028 - SPRING \[I see progress - DCA\] ---------- >$100K USD 2029 - SUMMER \[WOW!! Sell everything 29-AUG-29\]--- $250K USD - $1.4M USD ... THIS is your answer. Rinse and repeat Do as you will or die trying Happy life, happy me - fuck everybody else This will be deleted soon to save it now \[- copy and paste it - not the link-\]
The mistake you made wasn't selling your BTC. The mistake you made was then spending your money, instead of keeping your gains invested. You would have WAY more money now. It's a big mistake many people make... they think "Oh I made 10k profit, let me splurge". It's the poor mans mindset. The rich person thinks "nice, I now have 20k total, how can I invest this now to make even more". My advice: DONT HODL. Sell now, it will drop further. Wait a year or so until bear market lows, then buy back in and get way more BTC for the same price. In the meanwhile, use your fiat to get dividends/interest in other investments. Then in 3-4 years from now, sell again at a high.
You didn’t read did you. You’re not risking your returns on your other investments. This is the extra money you have left over after making those investments. Completely separate. Those of us that do well enough max a 401k, backdoor a Roth, max the HSA, put a set amount a month in a taxable account, then have some money left over. What to do with that? Well, savings is healthy, all my low risk investments are set, so no sense in a HYSA, why not try some leverage trading? I’m just saying that’s the argument. And it does make sense. Especially if HODL is one of your strats in the main investment group.
lol the price of BTC itself has inflated beyond imagination in the last 2 years. Worse than the Argentinian or Zimbabwean currency. And no one wants to HODL those currencies. So uninformed.
That's what I used to think in 2017 and 2021, thus scared to sell... "HODL" mindset. Then I changed that mindset, bought in at the low of the bear, sold last month near the height of the bull. It's not rocket science. Sure, it IS rocket science (i.e. mostly luck) to get the PERFECT low and the PERFECT high, but it's not like that is essential. Instead of a 5x gain I made a 4x gain, boohoo
Psychology-they don’t want to lose it all. All bluster when it comes to reading references, holding forever, money printer, etc. wimps. HODL. Go to work. Make more fiat. Convert to bitcoin. Rinse, repeat. Stop sweating the current valuation. If this is too much for you, I suggest index ETFs to sleep better.
Here's what I recommend to take the stress out of it so you're not worried about finding "safe zones" or "where to buy" ; but at the end of the day do what ever you want. 1. DCA...take an amount you feel comfortable spending a day and just set it and forget it. 2. Figure out what your time horizon is...5 years...10 years...all the way until you retire.... and then just tee it up and let it fly. I'd be lying if I said we didn't all kind of look at the price almost daily. You can check but don't let it cause you anxiety. If it's causing you anxiety take a break from checking it for a while. 3. Do not use leverage to buy Bitcoin. This is a volatile asset and its not a 100 percent guarantee that you'll lose your actual bitcoin you own as a collateral, but the odds are very high. So don't get cheeky. Greed will get you bit in this game. 4. Yes most of us are in Bitcoin because we believe Fiat will fail, but don't be a silly billy. Understand the world you live in now. The reality of it. Most of your day to day functioning will be in Fiat, at least for now. Do not dump all your money into Bitcoin without leaving enough for you to function comfortably in your day to day life. 5. There will be ups and downs. don't try to time it. HODL.
Phase 1 : perdre 10% → paniquer. Phase 2 : perdre 600k → faire un thé et acheter plus. Tu as atteint le niveau Shaolin HODL.
I disagree. I've been the hodler, held on to my bags for 8 years - it was a big mistake. I always had the "hopium" of "what if...". It's also called greed, and it's never good to get greedy. If I would have taken profits along the way, I would have had so much more to invest this cycle. This cycle I finally decided to not be the "DCA into falling knife, HODL my bags and be exit liquidity for others" guy, but instead I bought once at the low a couple years ago during bear, and sold last month on a high. Simple. All I did was zoom out to the max on BTC chart, saw that it was shaping up to look exactly like the "double top" in 2021... I knew it was over and about to go down, so I sold everything. Fast forward a few weeks, we've lost 30%... and it will go down further (with the occasional dead cat bounce). Even if I wanted to get back in right now, I could put in the same amount of money and get a lot more BTC for it. Something I could never have done if I didnt sell. The good thing about taking profits: you have something to show for it. It feels good, it is objectively good. Worst case: you can never reenter that cheap again - but at least you still made profit. And there's always 100's of investment opportunities out there that you can enter at any time. The opposite is true for HODLing: your losses get bigger and bigger, harder to recover, you miss out on opportunity costs in the years you HODL to invest/gain interest in other areas and you never have anything to show for it. I've been on both ends, and this time it feels so, so, so much better.
I am down 80k and I am relaxed because I HODL 🤷♂️🙏☀️
HODL is the use case , it's a store of value .
The real question is, why would you sell at a loss? Just HODL, it'll go back up.
People HODL because they aren’t pretending to know where the bottom is. People are scared to sell, then boom. random event causes it to go up and you’ve sold at a loss
Just HODL and forget you have it for a few years.
Life savings/Bitcoin doesn't need leverage. Just buy spot and HODL.
Sounds like you trade , not invest. If this is your third 4 year cycle and you have never owned BTC , how do you think your strategy would compare to a HODL.
I've been here since 2017. This whole "HODL/DIAMOND HANDS" meme is a tool for the smart to sell their bags to the idiots. Don't be that guy, don't be their exit liquidity. Buy low, sell high. Don't be a "hodler".
This has happened every cycle since over a decade, regardless of who is sitting in the white house at the time. This is nothing new, and anyone with experience of the last few cycles sold in the last couple months. Only the losers are now left, holding their bags, trying to blame something or someone (as they always do every cycle). Telling themselves "HODL, DIAMOND HANDS!" as they watch their alts become worthless and their BTC further drop for the next year or so, until it starts stabilizing and picking up again in 2-3 years from now. Rinse and repeat.
This is the mindset I need to get better at adopting. Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20 but I always say “oh I should have done this” or “I should have done that” - but like you said, NOBODY knows. One announcement tomorrow could pump BTC back to $150k, and just as easily drop it to $30k. If you believe in Bitcoin long term then DCA, stack sats, and HODL.
Everyone says they are HODL and buying, but price keeps dipping. A bunch of you are liars and have taken your losses.
Let's be realistic, bears are in control. In a bull market, everyone's a genius; in a bear market, everyone gets rektd. Just HODL. And Buy at prices you're comfortable with.
Losing your private key is the best way to HODL
