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.

Only buy Bitcoin if you can HODL for at least 4 years. as long as you follow this rule it’s hard to mess up.
In a year? These coins will be available only to Institutions, hedge funds and governments... everyone else will be getting qouged in ETFs. HODL
maybe was worth it to come out with that payout. forced HODL
Nice gains bro! 💪 From $56k avg to $130k portfolio and +61% unrealized – that’s the Bitcoin way 🔥 HODL strong! 🚀
Nothing because it's been stuck between 87k and 93k, would love for it to crash hard so I can buy some more or go to the moon & keep HODL'ing obviously...Something!! lol
About 70% & I'm 62. But it is for my 23-year-old daughter and her family, and my 50-year-old wife someday. Been a trader and investor for over 30 years, never thought about it much. Took a more serious look several years ago, (BTC about 40k) did my 100-hour deep dive. Realized that one crucial thing I was hearing after studying the charts was true! If you can just HODL for about three years (well about 38 months), it is nearly impossible to lose money. Pretty hard for me not to pray for a big downturn about now. (And realise I’m blessed to be in that position.) So… be humble, stack sat’s. That's my first social media post ever. Maybe my last. And maybe I don't really have any bitcoin either? God bless.
It is due to the Bitcoin halving. Scarcity is at its finest. HODL
Wish I sold mine in the last bull, I had that stupid HODL mentality
A cold wallet is always the best choice. With the money you would put into a company-owned hardware wallet (which goes against the fundamentals of Bitcoin), you can already do your tax planning for DCA. I recommend the Blue Wallet hot wallet, and you can buy a cold wallet on any buying and selling website; and the rest is just HODL.
Welcome to Bitcoin! "Sat" is the short form of "Satoshi", the smallest unit of Bitcoin, named after its (pseudonymous) creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. It's equivalent to one hundred-millionth of a Bitcoin (0.00000001 BTC). "HODL" originates from a typo of "HOLD" in a forum many years ago. It just means to hold onto your investments rather than selling them.
Either way you lose. Unless you HODL bitcoin of course.
Similar to your observation, I always hear negative outcomes. I just buy and HODL.
It will 2 or 3x in the next 10 years. That’s realistic and awesome and still worth the HODL
Coinbase weekly allotment. Every. Single. Week. For YEARS now. HODL
Metals go down sometimes. Silver ATH was $48 in 2011, and some people bought at the top and had to wait a decade to break even. You need to understand that these assets are off ramps to the dollar. The dollar devalues faster than the S&P 500 can grow even with compounding when you look at 10 year, 20 year chart. When these assets go down, you either buy more or you hold. In the long run, they are forced to go up due to our monetary policy. Just don't invest more than you can afford, you don't want to be forced to sell in a bear market for a loss because your car needs new brakes or something. Bitcoin has the biggest upside advantage still, and the most volitility. Gold has the lowest volatility, lowest risk, but higher storage costs. Silver, still underpriced, has the most fuckery on price manipulation due to COMEX. Metals anyways have a premium when you buy which is hard to get back when you sell. Bitcoin doesn't have that problem. I would prioritize Bitcoin, understand how to operate a Trezor, do proper cold storage and HODL. If the Shit Hits The Fan, your Bitcoin is liquid everywhere in the world and you travel anywhere that offers a good life. Much harder to do with Metals. Cant walk through an airport with Gold and Silver bullion without risk of confiscation.
Maybe you have a lot of time and time on your hands – then sit down and go through the whole subreddit. Then you'll find the exact same question at 20,000 at 15,000 at 30,000 at 50,000 I think you understand me! Nobody has a crystal ball and can tell you what will happen tomorrow, look at Corona, look at war, look at energy crises, etc. Nobody can tell you that; we can all only hope, believe, and HODL, or gradually sell some things and treat ourselves to something nice. Everyone does what they want. maybe
First purchase of any crypto was BCH at $5000. Set daily, weekly, monthly purchase, and HODL. You will be happy in the long run.
As much as this sounds like it would suck for people who just want to HODL, I'm wondering if this incentivizes people who lost their passwords to move to CA, have them seize the Bitcoin, and then file to get the money.
95-99% of amateurs who try to trade end up with less in the end. The risk/reward makes no sense. HODL.
Just HODL and act accordingly lol
DCA and HODL, that is the way. There are many empty bank accounts that have gone before you.
Gold peaked → BTC exploded before. $470k? Time will tell. HODL.
Welcome aboard my friend. Just keep calm and HODL from here..

Do you believe in HODL, in a young girls heart? ♥️
Spot on. The best entries usually happen when the hype is at zero and the charts look 'boring.' While everyone is stressing over price predictions for 2026 and 2027, the real peace comes from knowing that **1 Bitcoin will always be 1 Bitcoin ;)**. Whether it's a quiet Q2 or a fast run, the protocol doesn't change. Just HODL and stay humble.
Of course DCA & HODL is the winning strategy! This is very surprising that some people still do not understand it after so many years.
Typical BTC behavior in short term. HODL and let it go to the moon alone.
Thank you for sharing. When I first got into BTC in June of last year, it was HODL everywhere. However, as I stated, life happens and remaining flexible, but logical, is vital.
$3k is a good starter, but crypto is volatile. Consider dollar-cost averaging—buy a bit every month instead of all at once. HODL > FOMO.
Perfect time? Who knows 😎 Bitcoin has a PhD in making people question their life choices. Maybe invest what you can afford to lose and HODL.
Congrats brother! I’m right behind you at 18K around 2 years ago. Keep your head up, hold on tight, HODL and get ready, it’s a wild ride!
Yes of course, but later is good too. So, buy some now and then buy more later. Expect volatility and just HODL!

Cold wallet isn't the same as an exchange, HODL in a cold wallet. Move to an exchange for transactions, etc., and then back to your cold wallet. This pertains to abandoned accounts at an active financial institution, e.g. an exchange. Do a look up on escheatment laws. If it's in a cold wallet it should be fine and much safer. OP is being a bit disingenuous with the title.
Buy low sell high. Actually don't sell, the all time high will be the next low point as long as you have patience. HODL
Almost everyone is in that same boat. And now everyone thinks they are too late. HODL for another decade and see where you are then. A fun ChatGPT query is to ask it "My BTC portfolio is X.XXXXXXXX. What is my wallet ranking among those who own Bitcoin, omitting nation states and exchanges, and accounting for estimates of multiple addresses per person." Its pretty fun to see the ranking where you will stack up. It will pull info from [BitInfo Charts](https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html) along with other sources.
Open-source wallets like Trezor are great for transparency, but I’ve found IronWallet and Ledger offer comparable security for most users. The key idea is that your funds are controlled by the private key. Technically, yes you could hold crypto without a wallet, just storing the key somewhere secure. The wallet itself is mostly an interface to sign transactions and access your coins safely, so for long-term HODL, offline cold storage is the safest approach.
Everyone ready for the weekend pump and dump? Keep stacking and HODL 🖖
If someone bought BTC in 2017 (like me), BTC didnt let them down. Huge profits were there if the conviction was there. Their lack of conviction lost them money. The answer to your question for me is zero. I know two friends that bought in 2017 or before. One has held every Sat and is in the green by a mile. One sold a full coin in the profit for a family expense but has since repurchased it and is in the profit on the new buys. I have one other friend that has bought a full coin over the last year with a cost basis right at $100k USD, so slightly in the red, but he'll HODL indefinitely so he'll be fine. I'd encourage your friends to rebuy with conviction, they'll still be fine the second time around.
I plan to HODL for at least 20 years. Probably more like
But what about HODL for many years? 3yrs is nothing in crypto….
We DCA buy and HODL bitcoin long term around here, mate. We don't trade shitcoins. Try r/BitcoinMarkets instead.
chill out, HODL, bitcoin is a long term commitment. watch the price explode in january. you’re gonna be fine, in fact right now i would be buying as much as possible BUY THE DIP !
Just saw a CNBC special on Bitcoin. It’s essentially the digital version of gold(historically speaking). Everyone needs to HODL tight, and watch the asset..exist.
Your good! Just don’t expect to get rich over night, be prepared to HODL, and don’t panic sell if it dips way way down again.. I’m saying it like it’s easy, it’s not but good luck to you and keep stacking!!
It may not seem like a lot, but it's a good start. It's more BTC than 99% of people have! Keep putting your money in (if you can), and HODL. Don't panic sell. You'll be rewarded in the long run!!
HODL .... acc more weed/other drugs...
Most likely scenario what is HODL? thought No-Anybody just typo’d
Death wins in the end. I have not noticed any BTC transfers to heaven. Religion is the HODL of Humanity, with promises of grandeur and immortality on the back-end—you just sacrifice this life now.
I feel ya, everyone buys the top, hurts right now but let’s earn our 4 years HODL initiation
Holding 0.75 on the Cryptopia exchange at the time it went tits. I've received around 80% of it back since though, and should see some more soon. To be fair, it was more of a forced HODL though, as I was going to cash it in as a deposit for my house purchase in 2019. Now I have my house AND my Bitcoin. I'm starting to think it wasn't a mistake after all! 🤔
Wtf! They are just going to steal HODL accounts now?
Can’t even HODL through a bear market anymore without the state paper-handing it for you.
Literally no break in the cycle. The cycle is still holding, the halving in 2024 was just earlier than previous cycles. It's not based on a literal calendar year. The bottoms and ATH are historically 12-18mo before and after the halving. We're right on schedule. 🤔 I'm about sick of folks that don't understand the BTC cycle. But that's fine. I'll continue to get rich off your ignorance. Again. HODL to 2029. 💪
Uhhhh yeah.. doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out. BTC. HODL.
Disclaimer: This is not financial advice; I am not a financial advisor and by no means an expert in the field of finance or commerce. I am not an agent of any financial service or group. I'm just some random dude who plays around with pocket change on the crypto exchange. Do your own research, and assume your own risk and liability. DCA & HODL. cryptocurrency is speculative in nature and akin to gambling. don't spent any money on cryptocurrency that you can't afford to lose. Dollar Cost Averaging. Pick 5 of the top cryptocurrencies. Research utility blockchain technologies that support the development of the infrastructure in the areas of finance or quantum ai. Specifically, look into blockchain technologies that are compliant with financial institution security protocols and standards. Right now, I would be looking at support structures for the Canton network under the Genius and Clarity Act. Do not waste your time or money on any meme coins. You want to spread out your risk, not put all of your eggs in one basket. the overall gains on your portfolio is what you should be looking at. the market fluctuates a lot, don't worry about the day to day or month to month fluctuations - whales constantly game the market buying and dropping large volumes of crypto at a time looking for suckers to fomo or panic sell so they can accumulate more coins and capitalize on short term gains - starting out, you don't have the volume to play that game. Make a budget for yourself with money that you are comfortable with spending on crypto that will not hurt if you lose it. For example, just say $100/month or a week. Take that $100 and drop $20 across an even spread into your chosen positions. Do this every month or week at the same time and day, regardless of the price per unit. You buy and stack coins and hold them long term. Your goal here is not short term gains, but gains 10 years from now, or longer. Once a year, look at your assets and see what is performing and rebalance your portfolio and consolidate your realized gains into better performing crypto assets as desired/needed. something to keep in mind - every time you sell or transfer a crypto asset into another crypto asset , it becomes a taxable event. its not worth doing for short term gains at a low volume.
Waking up to Bitcoin above 90K.. 2026 is starting correctly, HODL
I honestly feel sorry for all the HODL's that don't know how to trade the chop.
It’s hard to know. We’ve never had a cycle with so much institutional investing. Excited to find out. I’m HODL but if it drops to 40-50k a coin I’m increasing my position
I've been in this space since 2014 (all in since 2015), and I agree. The time we all dreamed about many years ago is unfolding now. While we probably won't see the percentage gains of the previous decade, the next few years will truly set new chapter. Buy. HODL. Profit.
Eh, he's brilliant at macro. He just is forced to have a high time preference because others subscribe to his newsletter for financial advice. The "quarterly performance" mindset precludes long term holding through volatility. It's the one advantage "retail" investors have over institutional investors. I think long term he *is* a believer, he'd just get raked over the coals by his trad-fi clients if he told them to HODL and their short term performance suffered as a result.
Lmao exactly 😂 the HODL strategy I never asked for but definitely needed
On this sub we HODL. You've been on reddit for a week and you come off like a scammer. If you wanted it share it you would have shared it, your just probing.
Hey everyone, software engineer in Mongolia earning \~$700/month, DCAing $50–250 into BTC on Bybit for long-term hold. The on-chain withdrawal fees ($15–30 sometimes) kill me on small amounts — can eat 10-20% of a monthly buy. Hardware wallets are also hard/expensive to get here. My plan: Batch withdrawals every $500–700, use [mempool.space](http://mempool.space) for low-fee windows, hot wallet (BlueWallet/Green) in the meantime, cap at $1k on exchange, then hardware when I hit $2k. Questions: * Is leaving $500–700 on Bybit for a few months too risky, or is batching worth it for small stacks? * Anyone in developing countries — how do you manage UTXO fragmentation from small DCA over years? * Does Bybit reliably support Lightning withdrawals these days? (Would solve everything if yes) * Any other late-starters who began tiny? How's it going now? Appreciate any thoughts — trying to be cautious without pricing myself out of self-custody. HODL!
Memorizing seed phrases is not advised. You open yourself to a $5 wrench attack. If your stack is worth less than 1 month of your labor, you will have bigger problems to worry about if you get a head injury and lose your seed phrase due to memory loss. If your stack is worth more than a year of your labor, consider multi-sig and make no effort to memorize multiple seed phrases. The following is my recommendation: The crucial starting point is to generate seed phrases securely. Best to use entropy that is not linked to any kind of random number generator RNG but uses an analog method, such as rolling dice, or my preferred method, which is picking words from a hat. You literally print all 2048 words from the BIP 39 list and cut them into small individual words and pick them randomly to generate your seed phrase. [https://github.com/hatgit/BIP39-wordlist-printable-en](https://github.com/hatgit/BIP39-wordlist-printable-en) After you have a highly secure and analog seed generator, you are now ready to create wallets. My preferred software wallet is the FOSS sparrowwallet.com. My preferred hardware signing device is the do it yourself and FOSS [SeedSigner project](https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner). With SeedSigner, you can enter 11 words that you picked from the "hat" enter them and it will calculate the 12th as a checksum and then it will guide you through writing by hand a QR code. This QR code is your seed so protect it. With the QR code, you can then scan it with your SeedSigner and then using what's called a partially signed bitcoin transaction PSBT you can create your wallet with Sparrow and sign transactions - spend Bitcoin. This way, your seed, or private keys, have never entered an Internet connected device. Absolutely air gapped. You backup your 12 words by hammering them onto stainless steel washers using the Blockmit jig for clean strikes. Put them on a bolt and secure it. You can wrap them in paper and coat them with clear fingernail polish for a tamper evident layer. With this set up, you are ready to create extremely secure bitcoin wallets. It's also very useful for more complex multi-sig wallet set ups that require multiple seeds to sign transactions. When creating multi-sig wallets, for example, a 2 of 3, you create 3 seeds, and 2 of them are required to sign (spend). A recommended solution for storing your steel seeds is to secure each one with a separate lock box service. These are commercial establishments that provide highly secure lock-boxes similar to safety deposit boxes that some banks offer. Place each seed with a different lock box provider in separate locations, cities or even countries. Remember, your HODL wallet is not for regular transactions, but for very long term storage. An important consideration for multi-sig is that the xpubs must be preserved. xpubs (public keys) are used to set up a watch only wallet for securely depositing funds and tracking all UTXOs. They cannot be used for spending funds (private keys). xpubs should be stored carefully, but do not require the same level of security as the private keys (seed phrases). Therefore, you can store xpubs with your password manager's secure note feature. These can also be encrypted and backed up on internet connected devices. If someone gains access to your xpubs, you lose privacy, but you do NOT lose your Bitcoin. And to verify everything, you run a node preferably on GNU-Linux, and connect your Sparrow wallet to it. My node preference is Knots. Once you have your 3 lockbox locations and seeds secured, you can write up instructions as to their locations which will only be made available to the appointed executor in your will. If you have no heirs, consider willing your Bitcoin to an institution that you support or some philanthropic cause. Being your own bank requires a deep level of responsibility.
In the olden days, we used to call this HODL.
HODL on! Congratulations, this is a great story! I'm very happy for you 😁
I've decided that the only way for me to HODL is to have my wife electroshock me and burn out the part of my brain that remembered I bought BTC. My lawyer will give me a letter in 10 years, informing me of it. Then, just to torture myself, he'll give me a 2nd letter 10 years after that with the secret words. Giving me a solid 10 years of torture trying to find a way to sell it (and failing).
4yr cycle are Bitcoin' most followed religious scam, if there are actually 4yr cycles there are tons of actors trying to upfront it, indeed diluting any potential impact for "actual" cycles, meanwhile what we have are whales promoting cycles narrative, market "crash apocalypse" etc because they want your Bitcoins and want it cheap. We have an artificial Bear market now, thousand actors burning hundred Bitcoind to avoid at all cost it break 100k too soon as its know that psychological barriers are flood gates that start or prevent bull runs. HODL
Congrats. And now you have a choice if you want to sell. or HODL. Good luck :-D
This is the only way to HODL for 7 years. You would have sold years ago!
Yeah, it's a 4 year cycle. Technically the red year should be 2026. The fact that it was this year mostly has to do with the halving moving farther back towards the beginning of the year rather than mid year. 2028 will be the same if it lands March/April, which is projected. So expect 2026 to end in the red and the bottom to hit in 2027. Then end of 2027 will end up because the FOMO to the halving will only be 100 days or so away, give or take. Then 2028 will be up. 2029 will have ATH, but might possibly end down like 2025. Learn the cycle, get rich. I've made 6 figs twice over now. And now I just HODL and wait it out. 2027, I start chucking money at it like it's a stripper. 🤣
Such a waste of money. Think as to how all of that cash could have been used to accumulate better returns of BTC when the macro trend was in the positive. Remember everyone… “HODL SUCKS!”
I'm thinking HODL because we never know one of these coins could rebound 100-1000X because we never know the market or we would all be rich already, right?
Nobody could tell..but if you HODL long enough...
Yup.. sell at ~60k in few months.. its not that long of a wait now.. HODL!
