What kind of question is this, mate? **We HODL around here**.
Bro skipped the entire happiness tutorial and went straight to HODL 💀😂
Only one question matters. Did you HODL? This meme looks like it was created by someone who didn't.
My apologies. I misread and thought you were butfcoiner saying it’s going to die. And I agree. HODL crew
I don't blame you. I buy and HODL BTC and BTCI; its the winning combo👍
I assure you that guy knows how to HODL
Bitcoin had a nice run. But it's over now. FOMO ATH is the new HODL.
Bitcoin is a revolution against the broken financial system. Do the wealthy global elites ever think "Oh, when is it a good time to sell my real estate/stocks/valuable assets for fiat currency"? Maybe only for arbitrage and short term knowledge of capital flows. An easier question to ask yourself - in the traditional financial system, people save primarily for retirement accounts by investing in the S&P500. When do you sell the S&P500? Never. Bitcoin will become the new, better S&P500. No companies to dilute you to raise money. HODL
Bro HODL and borrow against it. Don’t cut your winners early. “Money loves speed, Wealth loves time”. Bitcoin just had its first weekly close about the 50 Week SMA since November 2025. Big. Last time BTC had a weekly close above the 50W SMA in a bear market, that signaled the start of a new bull trend (for the most part) and then rallied 350%.
Continue to DCA and HODL. Don’t worry about when to sell.
You mean you bought now? I'd say it's a bad idea, but now HODL it
still down third from ATH. Alts are all mostly way worse. not a time to celebrate unless you plan to get off the HODL boat.
You got to HODL dude! Have you made a post asking what the price will do in the next few hours? Have you made a thread asking how to convince your brother-in-law to buy? Have to started a thread asking what will happen in 2140 when the block reward runs out? Until you do all that you can't sell. Hopefully you get that done by the weekend and then once there is a $1000 pull back you can sell it all.
Bro I feel the exact same way I literally stopped checking the price for a few months got out of the space and just trusted the HODL mindset now this cycle I’m thinking of selling up and watching it, obviously no one can time the market but we can set hard sale and buy points
I suspect that's just a few attention-bait youtube accounts and reddit accounts. Most people are more chill, and just de-risking by either DCA or HODL. Don't let the internet rage machine convince you to mock this weird idea that bitcoin is split into us and them. Bitcoin is about autonomy, and being able to make any decision you want to.
Not to worry, buying all the way down from the top throughout a bear market STILL sees you way in the green before the next cycle top. HODL through a couple cycles and you’ll look back with ‘no ragrets’.
There's very little long leverage in queue. What you are witnessing in the posts is just a bunch of hodlers laughing at the people trying to time an inevitable situation. DCA/HODL crowd has virtually no risk of being wrong...we just have to wait and let nature take it's course. Waiters, debaters and shorts are the only ones gambling and losing sleep.
Wow. And I thought I overthink. #HODL
I’ve never made this much in any type of crypto and third coin ever bought. 3 years DCA majors. Bought in last last year early this year, HODL. Yay!
for all of those individuals who are still trying to bridge the mental gap between USD and BTC: 100K sats just got $5 more expensive. and 1M sats just got $50 more expensive. buying at 80K BTC vs 75K BTC won’t matter in the long term if your goal is to HODL for the next 10+ years. stop wasting time, keep stacking sats, and don’t pay too much attention to the price in dollars. what really matters is how you’re expending your time and energy, and how much of it you’re putting it into satoshis.
The best stacking times are the long crabs. Boring sideways action for long stretches where the tourists get bored, sell, and move on to the next shiny thing (AI e.g). Do not FOMO. Do not panic sell. Live below your means. DCA, HODL, be humble, grind on your craft, get fit, stay healthy. Slow time preference. Run a node. Attach your wallet to it. Look at the hash rate. Not the price chart. Fiat is an unreliable squishy measuring stick that can be printed out of thin air. You cannot fake energy.
unless you urgently need the money to save a life, you better HODL it
I am actually on the same boat. Been doing this for 2 years and I no longer care about the price :) just DCA and HODL
If you say so. We’ve been seeing the same FUD and hearing about the Clarity act passing since 2024. It’s a matter of time before something breaks in the economy and money starts moving from assets again. Best thing to be doing is stacking and HODL
BTC is a very inefficient algorithm; it wastes too much energy. It is better to own fiat currency; at least it is backed by the state. BTC is bullshit; I prefer to HODL XRP. BTC is not physical like my money. At this point I really doubt mainstream is going to understad BTC. I prefer not ti discuss in public.
Crypto has two distinct subcultures: degenerate gambling (95% of crypto) and strong HODL culture community. You just have to find the right community.
>BTC is first and foremost a store of value. It's held by Governments, Corporations, and individuals, as a store of value. The only way node runners (*as the system currently stands*) would have any real sway over miner (mining corporations) choices, is if BTC's primary function was transfer of value (currency). Since it is not, and since currently it is treated as digital gold (which I'm not trying to argue is a bad thing, just stating the reality), there's no reason for miners to listen to anyone. Honestly, it doesn't matter how people use bitcoin. I'm using it as an insurance in case my current government ducks things up again, I'm using it as a currency to pay for goods and services, I'm using it as a savings account. Yes, the majority of people use it as a store of value but to do that, they still had to the "transfer of value" to their own wallet. Yes, HODL is using too. Anyway, store of value doesn't remove node power. Nodes enforce the rules that make BTC scarce and valid in the first place (21M cap, signature rules, etc.). If miners tried to change those, nodes reject the blocks regardless of what BTC "is used for." **The store-of-value property depends on node-enforced rules.** The miners node relationship is a mutual hostage situation, not one sided as you think. Miners need nodes to propagate and validate their blocks. And nodes need miners to produce blocks. If miners diverge from what users and nodes accept, their blocks are worthless. That mistake costs a lot of electricity. This is why the Blocksize War I have mentioned above, resolved the way it did: the majority of miners backed bigger blocks, but economic nodes and users rejected them. >Let's do some game theory: let's say a bunch of node runners want to make a change. Let's even say 60% agree, and run a different implementation of BTC. Why would the miners make a change? If this 60% is just Luke and friends spinning cheap Sybil nodes like it happened recently, miners will ignore it. If the 60% are nodes with a 60% crowd of users behind, like we had in 2016, miners will start paying attention. >ESPECIALLY if that change had some kind of threat to miner incentives (profitability & future profitability)? Bip110 was forcing the spammers to use more block space to achieve the same result (surprise, it didn't stop the spam at all), which incentvied the miners "profitability & future profitability" and yet, they ignored it. **ESPECIALLY, because the majority of nodes and users ignored it**. In 2017, miners didn't ignore segwit, despite losing "profitability & future profitability" due to [ASICboost](https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/mining-manufacturer-blocking-segwit-benefit-asicboost). **ESPECIALLY, because the majority of nodes and users wanted it.** >In this hypothetical Instead of hypothetical, I gave you REAL examples that happened. Try to read them, and research everything, instead of listening to the scammers. >The reality is, the node runners could fork, and because they have no mining power (in comparison) they will forever be the shorter chain. Less mining power doesn't necessary means shorter chain, even if the fork stays at the same algo. Since 2017, Bitcoin is "the shorter chain". Bcash is currently at block number 968,580 while Bitcoin is at 967,088. I'm honestly too lazy to check on other forks but I'm sure, at least one of them will have even longer chain. The longest chain isn't everything. >Do Do you forget that part of BTC's value proposition is it's network effect? It's length of uptime? Just BTC existing for a longer amount of time than any of it's competitors is a factor in why its more valuable today. This is your only correct assumption, mate. And that's the reason, why if you're proposing a BIP, you need to convince as much of people as possible. 20% Sybil nodes won't cut it. Even trying to force the change with only 60% of nodes as in your scenario would be bloody difficult. You don't want to force or break anything, you want to **make Bitcoin better**. You won't make Bitcoin better by forcing people to use your idea, like Roger, Faketoshi and Jihan tried in 2017, nor Luke, Mechanic and Krater in 2026. You make Bitcoin better when you convince people how it helps them. >Don't forget that two mining pools already currently make up 43% of hash.. so "Secure" is surface level of course. You're wrong again, mate. Lukecoin for example had currently one pool that made over 60% of hash alone. I bet they forgot to tell you about that. Anyway, pools =/= miners. I'm a small miner myself. I'm also a part of one pool. Should this pool start acting strange or forcing a change I don't like, it'll take me about one minute to point my machines to another pool. Pools are here to make money too. Not to ruin their reputation and kill their income within an hour. If you think Bitcoin is not secure, you should probably sell your coins and use a "more secure" shitcoin. >From first principles, there's no incentive for miners to listen to node runners. Wrong. I just showed you examples from the past. Not scenarios, made in your head. >They don't work for anyone but themselves. Wrong. They work for the network. They earn from the network bitcoin for themselves. >They are corporations, regulated by governments, Not all. Thousands of miners like myself out there too. There's more small unregulated miners out there than corporations. >with one driving force: profitability. Correct for the corporations. Not for everyone. We, small miners care about more than that. I value the non-KYC'd coins more than coins bought at some shitcoin casino, for example. >To say otherwise would be going against basic economic incentive structure. Nothing's absolute, mate. I just gave you my reason. Do you think Satoshi mined just for profit too? How about the thousands of people between Satoshi and now?
Indeed. Ignore the noise, just HODL, my brother of a different mother
that’s my plan. i’m building my HODL bag that’ll be untouched till 2065. then i’ve got my spending bag that i DCA in and DCA out with the cycles. that way a portion of my sats will always stay in my possession as fiat devalues itself over time. it’s nothing but a waiting game of conviction and dedication. the secret to success with anything is perseverance.
Buy some BTC, go online and declare HODL and To the Moon. Profit. Or not.
That may be a good strategy to turn some coins into a house, car, boat, plane or whatever after holding for a decade. Go for it. Let someone else hold them for a decade. Anything less than a decade is for weaklings who can’t HODL.
If you bought in 2013, and you sold everything this year, you will be doing quite well. The purpose of HODL doesn’t mean you never sell, it just means you don’t jump ship when everyone else is jumping ship. Even if you bought at the peak of the year, which was $1132, that is still a massive win with today’s price $76,800. Even with the tax and transfer fees- you would hugely successful.
Just wanted to note for readers, that this isn't a good strategy. Buy early, and HODL has certainly worked out great for many. But, the 'forget about it' part could be quite dangerous. For example, I bet there are lots of ColdCard users who created a wallet a few years back, who will some day go to check their balance, and find it (to their surprise) at zero! Or, as recent events have illuminated, maybe the protocol changes away out from under us. Bitcoin is something where we need to be paying attention and even participating, not 'set it and forget it.'
No playbook, just HODL. I had to stop my DCA due to saving for a house deposit. Will pick it back up next cycle.
Since 2017 my playbook has been the same: BUY. STACK. HODL.
*yawn* Call me back when it crosses 99k again, ‘kay? *goes back to HODL* Actually, don’t bother calling… continues to sleep on it.
It's not one group. It's three separate groups that do not move hand in hand. Institutions (Harvard, pensions etc) and corporations (Tesla, Strategy etc) and governments (UAE, US, China, El Salvador etc) do not have a common focus that would cause them to buy, sell or HODL in the same way, for the same reason or with the same time preference. There is no danger to Bitcoin based on the sum of their holdings.
Work hard to buy Bitcoin, then lazy hard to stay rich. Buy and HODL is the ultimate cheat code.
Isn't it safe to just own Bitcoin in an exchange like Gemini and HODL it there for the next decade or two? Sell or borrow feom.it when needed somehow?
so what hunter is saying is that he didn't rugpull, someone else did this is absolutely moronic---what do you think would happen? everyone would HODL out of the goodness of their hearts? come on
Anyone who uses leverage treats Bitcoin like an instrument to increase their fiat stack. Bitcoiners HODL to reduce their fiat stack. We are not the same.
Bitcoin is rapidly being ingratiated into the global financial system and is being adopted by individuals, institutions & governments alike. IMO this may be the absolute worst time in history to sell. HODL and your future self will thank you. Just my opinion. Good find & good luck.
It won't be never but it sure ain't gonna be now. No way this gets thru in September. The Dems will not give Trump a "win" ahead of the midterms. Bitcoin doesn't care but the overall crypto adoption by wall Street will be delayed as a result. Unfortunately not passing this now will give other countries more of a chance to get ahead in crypto, decentralization and tokenization. Again, Bitcoin doesn't care and may be better off without wall street. I prefer main street adoption but I'm hard core HODL either way.
You gotta do what’s right for you. Based on the cycles you’ve been through, you probably know the upswing is imminent. If you can HODL for one more year… but since you’re already in profit. There is no wrong decision.
A cool way to measure this that I've come up with is to use Glassnode HODL waves to see how the holderbase responds to price increases and decreases (+/-10%). A lower SSC is better. I generally like coins that hold remain stable on both sides. This tells me the belief is pure. https://preview.redd.it/tu0pw50e9boh1.png?width=1063&format=png&auto=webp&s=1b7ab6664d4114634e7ff4207fdb72382d78d685
Just HODL and don't take reddit so seriously. Trust your past self that bought and hodl. This is the best path.
This is pretty fascinating. I used Glassnode HODL waves to understand how the holderbase behaves in large up and down moves (+/-10%). I like communities that don't budge on price moves and continue to show strong HODL culture. https://preview.redd.it/rx5ap2kk5boh1.png?width=1077&format=png&auto=webp&s=8c793db85f919e148d59ebbdd22dccc0ead5e128
don't HODL, sell when it's ATH and buy again when it's down
I used to be a full crypto retard back in the day. I wished I had treated it more like a business transaction. Buy and sell, realise profits, use the profits to then make more money whether it be investments or buy and sell btc again. The amount of money I left on the table because of stupid crypto retards that said HODL HODL HODL, think long term etc. In a way they are correct, but the amount of times, i could have bought and sold during the cycles, i would have made way more. Im now a day trader and I love being in and out of the trade, couldn't care less if the trade ran 2 or 3x more than my take profit target. Just discipline and staying away from greediness has made me profitable. Maybe leave 10% of your stack and forget about it, if it goes to 0, who cares and if it goes up, well that's extra cash for ya. Happy retirement!
We will have arrived, when the analysis is discussed regarding the international rates for Satoshis and their impact on the currency markets. Then the reality of the "Bitcoin" era will come into focus. Hope I live to see it. My grandkids are getting all of my Bitcoin investments. Treat Bitcoin as a stock or leverage play today. Hope you have no regrets tomorrow. HODL
I have the same plan... HODLing since 2022 and I'm going to HODL whatever little I have, till 2036-38, around retirement age (10-12 years later) then move the 3/4th into FIAT, pay taxes as one can recoup them post investing and HODLing in MFs. Ideally invest in traditional assets that let it compund every 6-7 years afterwards. 10-12% IRR annually. Can keep the 1/4th to enjoy the show, and leave as inheritance after I pass... 😌
I dunno. I sold my entire bag at $113k and bought back at $65k. By the time we get back to $113k that’s a 1.73x on my money because I didn’t HODL
Sell a little bit, and HODL
I have an amount that if it becomes worth I’ll sell half to pay off my business loans and recoup my original investment back. The other half is to be HODL’d for good to be given to my heirs.
Why sell Bitcoin when you earn fiat and live below your means? Greshams Law. Stack HODL be humble.
Absolutely! A must do especially if one plans to HODL for long!!!
HODL a whole coin for another 15-20 years. Borrow against it. Retire.
I don't do the “endgame.” I buy during the bear market and sell during the bull market. Rinse and repeat. IMO, holding crypto forever is basically betting that today’s hype will somehow last forever. It’s still a speculative market driven heavily by sentiment, narratives and the greater-fool theory. It could collapse tomorrow because something better comes along, slowly die as people lose interest, or get crippled by security and trust issues. The idea that you should just “HODL forever” and ignore all of that is more faith than investment strategy.
My son turns 18 in 2033 and I told him he can do what he wants once he turns 18. I’m going to HODL until then as well we invested small amounts when it was between 17-31k and haven’t moved any since
HODL until we talk about the value of BTC by the Sat
This is why I HODL with Fidelity. No self-custody risk.
Ya I bought at 20-30k. Didn’t want to HODL cause I did a round trip the cycle before.
DCA and HODL. Bought my first BTC end of 2020 and haven’t sold a satoshi since then
Up, down, sideways: DCA...Stack...HODL. Sticking to the program.
Can't help but notice the silence from the daily trolls about "the inevitable death spiral to zero..." So quiet today. HODL
I don’t know what to expect anymore bar the only good advice I’ve taken from here is HODL
Sell it!? Sell it for what? You HODL Bruh, for eternity.
Volatilities come and go, but the math never changes. 21 million hard cap, decentralized network, and ticking blocks. I’m not selling my future for short-term fiat gains. HODL.
HODL ETH $10K EOY I swear on my mother.
You can’t live in bitcoin. Having a paid for house is still a good investment but more importantly it’s peace of mind. I disagree with all of the prop about never owning a home. I HODL BTC BTW.
Here is the only way to keep holding. This apple only if u are really an early holder with a super low cost basis in the hundreds or maybe 1k-10k. JUST GO ABOUT YOUR LIFE AS IF U WOULD HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT BITCOIN. Don't consider yourself rich when it's high and poor when it's low. Until it hires 1.000.000$ per coin, for u it simply does not exist. That was and is THE approach. Literally just HODL. The confidence inducing tailwind is that institutions started backing it. That was all I needed to calm ANY anxiety or FOMO
I Do my monthly DCA automatically, bought another .0025 Bitcoin. In June, my auto DCA bought .0032 Bitcoin. I hope I can afford Bitcoin. By September 1, 2027... HODL
DCA & HODL is the winning strategy, this is obvious fact, checked by others many times. Nothing to think about, no sense to consider selling if you don't have to. I focus on my work to gather more fiat and exchange for more bitcoins.
I mine and HODL, that's literally it. That's the strategy, and I stick to it. Do my best not to get emotional about it when it swings either way, thought it's easier said than done. I just stick to the plan, no matter what. The highs are euphoric, the lows are depressing. Either way it doesn't matter. HODL what I earn, plain and simple. Get as much of it as I possibly can and hold onto it for at least the next 2-3 decades, then go from there.
When the USD fiat price dips, did your sat count change? The ratio of your stack to the total issuance cannot be changed by anyone other than you. In contrast, there is no concept of "total issuance" with fiat. They print by the Trillion diluting the buying power of any fiat saver. No one can dilute your sats stack. Why would I sell the hardest money humanity has ever used? I mean, if you have a medical emergency, of course you sell. But there is no "taking profits" or "cashing in". Bitcoin is the profit. Read more. Stack sats. HODL.
Monkey HODL, monkey smart, monkey hungry now.
