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.

I just hope he HODL like a real bitcoiner … or at least half of them … really what a legend
If you spent $100, you'd get 50k bitcoins. Today, that would be worth $4.5 Billion. Bitcoin rewards those who HODL.
Guys, you do realise you are the very last ones who are left holding all the bags, right? The apes who arrive too late and HODL the bags of shit that everyone else already sold, right? Everyone has already banked over the years when crypto was the shiny new thing and moved on to other things. No one gives a shit about this trash anymore as an "investment". It's now simply a volatility asset, not a "buy and hold to make profit off" kind of asset.
Using USDT would remove the Bank risk, the seller doesn't learn the buyers bank details, so now you have that privacy you wanted in HODL HODL, but you're right, now you need to get that USDT into your bank and you hit the privacy issue there. The problem is the bank. Without the bank, you have the need for in-person cash trades. The problem is fiat. I personally would use something like Bisq or for smaller amounts Robosats. No USDT, no KYC, just peer to peer with an arbiter and coordination system which has by design minimal information unless you start a dispute and need to provide details. I accept that the person I am trading with is going to know my name and bank account details, it is a risk, we can't have perfect security, but that vs giving Coinbase or someone else my bank details plus trading history plus IP address and so on is much bigger in my opinion. Especially because they are a company and companies can be compelled by intelligence agencies to act maliciously toward users (eg. give us their data and don't tell them) and also they are honeypots for criminals just the same.
This motherfucker must not know that we HODL in this bitch. To 0 or Valhalla. IDGAF.
i just cashed out after 9 years of HODL
Hey, chasing self-custodial BTC yields without centralization? New Bitcoin DeFi protocols are popping up, but sustainability's key—most still involve some wrapping or L2 risks. Tips: - Explore audited BTC L2s like Stacks for native yields. - Weigh self-custody vs. minor compromises in liquidity. - Compare real APYs against HODL opportunity cost. - Diversify to stables for safer plays. Yieldseeker automates USDC yields on BASE as one alternative. Tried any BTC L2s?
Fr, BTC maxis just want to HODL and chill. Anything beyond that is sus, imo.
Bought at 95, more at 90. HODL 🤝
My tip is don’t trade because almost every retail trader loses in the long run. DCA and HODL.
l’ve HODL’d since 2013 to the present for purely ideological reasons and never sold a Sat. Same with the metals since 2001. My intent was not to make fiat gains. For me that sentiment was much greater than any greed sentiment could ever be. And I’m no fan of captured state management of currency (our human energy) and the banking cartel controlled income taxing agencies. That quiet rebel-slave mentality was my dopamine hit. Then there’s the basic math that debt-based interest bearing fiat could not exist without exponential increase in debt, meaning a limited shelf-life. When I hit a $million in unrealized fiat gain in 2017, the wife wanted me to sell. I refused and here we are.
It’s a game of probability. “If we get” simply means it will have a higher chance of happen over “if we don’t get”. I can easily prove all of these claims if you’re prepared to be proven wrong lol. You simply haven’t seen it work consistently enough thats why you say it’s all speculations and decided to go the safe HODL longterm route
Questioning all my life choices 😅📉 But hey, HODL and laugh through the pain! 🚀😂
That's how it started yes but it seems you are the one holding onto the past. What Does HODL Mean? HODL, originally a typo for "hold," has morphed into an investment strategy acronym for "**hold on for dear life**," echoing a long-term commitment among cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
Exactly! Your personality and emotional style shape your strategy—knowing if you handle risk calmly or react to volatility helps decide whether to HODL, DCA, or trade actively.
Over half Americans are paycheck to paycheck. OG bitcoiners were just a random sample of the general population. Not surprised most of them didn’t HODL for 15 years and went broke. Most people are absolute shit at managing money.
Good luck. There is always that one family member who years ago won an award or was recognized in high school for something. Years passed and they have traded on that their entire life. They don't want to lose the center of attention or credibility, but have long since stopped growing personally. This is the person it persons you are being blocked by. They aren't growing anymore and fear the future. That is a hard hill to climb. Just keep stacking and time will prove you right. HODL
Those sellers are retail and hobbyist investors. The buyers are Institutional Investors. I am DCA positive. My amount has increased from $60 a month in August to 200 dollars a month at present. I wish I could afford more. HODL
The real competition for him will be after the passage of the Clarity Act. Then the real money will pour in. He knows this. And is rushing to accumulate while others wait for legal shelter from Congress . Those other Institutional funds are bound by fiduciary requirements to act in the best interest of their investors (no guidance on Stablecoins by Congress yet) and as a result are limited to offer Bitcoin, Ethereum, SOLANA exposure through EFTs only. Saylor is correct. The rush to create Bitcoin Treasuries is going to drive prices after the bill passes and becomes law. HODL.
Bull run in 2027. HODL, just one more year 🙃
Never FOMO in — patience is everything 😅 HODL beats panic every time. $PRX #PressX
Not arguing. Simply stating a fact. Not a revolution. Adoption. Not capitulation a reckoning. It is an economy and it is never static except in dictatorships. Then it flounders under the weight of its stagnation. Cryptocurrency is the result. HODL.
In 2010 I said, "this is a fad ...who but criminals would even need this type of a thing ..."? Today? It was never about gains. Nobody even looked at it as a security or an option for trading. Those in the know saw it as a revolution. (I was not one of them). So just make sure you own a small fraction. It will be a comfort to have a few million in the bank that now controls crypto and crypto products. HODL.
Cryptocurrency won. The rest is just noise. Whether the victory is "good or bad"? That is for a different discussion. Ten years ago, the big investors were ridiculing this innovation. Today? The crypto purists are ridiculing the adoption. Cryptocurrency won the fight. Congress is passing the laws of regulation. Prices are going to go sky high. HODL.
"DCA and HODL" is really the only way. Any leveraging will eventually leave you rekt. Many have tried.
Embrace the volatility. Believe in the trajectory. In 10 years, your friends will be buying coffee with bitcoin. HODL
In other words, just HODL and DCA in, enjoy the dips.
Its the asians dipping in the morning! Buy and HODL.
Don’t sell unless it’s part of a strategy to lower your DCA and or total investment in BTC, it’s what I did, it worked out well for me, and now I’m watching the price with my figure on the trigger to buy back in as low as I can for the same amount after I withdrew some nice profits when it was at the ATH. HODL my friends you won’t regret it especially if you ya e the capital to buy 0.5 or a whole BTC
And…? Hold your horses. In this sub that means HODL. Yeee haaa!
4 year cycle is nonsense, you cant predict the exact year when a market is going to drop. Buy now and HODL, thank me later.
Just bought **0.00012388 BTC** two hours ago. Grab a blanket and HODL.
BTC isn't about day trading , wrong sub. HODL til u die
Stop looking at charts all day and stop trading, HODL long termn.
Same thing we do every day. DCA & HODL. Dont watch the price. Don't watch it...watch it a little...dontwatchit.
HODL. Like we did for the past 10+ years
LOL! Yep! They are driving the prices. Of course they will make these coins so expensive you won't be able to pretend that you know how to sell to take profits and try to get back in at the bottom. But sure, sell and buy precious metals which are now at the top. Great advice! HODL
You are suggesting swing trading. It can work out well, it more often works out worse. If you sell now, you have sold at a loss. Selling at a loss means even if you buy back at a lower price, prices have to go back up to todays price before you are even. Wait until you can sell at a higher price than your purchase cost. Whatever happens afterwards, you made money. Plus, there is no guarantee that the price will ever drop to whatever you decide is your buy back price. But you've still lost money, and now have no coins, while your FIAT reduces in value thanks to inflation. If you still believe in Bitcoin, and believe it will go higher in price than your buy price, buy more when the prices are low. Set a sell target figure, and stick to it. Or just HODL until you need the money. But only with money you can afford to lose. If you don't believe prices will ever go as high or higher than your buy price, sell everything, accept your losses, and delete this and any other crypto subs from your feeds.
So you’re basically repeating the standard “just HODL” consensus. Are we going to get that same advice every time BTC wobbles?
whatever it takes, here i am earning daily on bags at nexo. HODL and wait is my strategy
First this is a Bitcoin sub and we believe alts coins are scams. Second most people who try to earn a return end up losing their Bitcoin. So I would advise you to skip the fiat games (trying to earn a return) and just HODL.
The amount of negative people on this thread do not represent the other 95% of holders out there. So be prepared when they sell too. You’re hoping too much because you either have A) a loss or B) you want to buy to HODL Either way that’s not smart thinking.
Most people who say to HODL bought in at a price that Bitcoin will never hit again. It's easy for them to say HODL because they are basically always in profit. But, there are plenty of times where Bitcoin drops 30% and then rallies to all time highs. If you're down, you can sell now and buy back in layer. But there is no guarantee you'll be able up by back at a lower price
If that’s the case then I guess I don’t understand why we don’t just sell and buy back. Why does everyone HODL? New to crypto if you haven’t guessed lol
Saying “fabulously wealthy” just tells me you don’t follow your own advice BRITISH HODL.
Ok but if you have to convert your cash from bank account to say USDT and then USDT to BTC then there’s still a trail, no? I feel like I’m missing something. When I looked at HODL HODL offers the method of accepted payment was anything but “US fiat.” It still had to be converted to something digital before it went to the seller.
The thing is.... once you've learned about Bitcoin, you don't really need to follow anyone. Buy, HODL, Get fabulously wealthy.
[HODL](https://bitculator.com/en/crypto-glossary/hodl)
Absolutely. Buy and HODL is the only way. Leverage will get you liquidated every time.
How does one do this and still stay anonymous. If you transfer from your bank account to anywhere, that is tracked. I feel like you would literally have to get physical cash into some sort of system anonymously in order to get it into HODL HODL or something. I just don’t understand how you go from your bank account to HODL HODL without it being traceable.
The creators, the CIA taking their profits 🇺🇸 HODL 🥴🥴🥴
Don't believe anyone claiming an official IQ score above 160. Real Standardized IQ tests using Deviation IQ (the real standardization), can't exceed 4 standard deviations, which is an IQ of 160. They have to either use a debunked, obsolete, dismissed method of "Ratio IQ" (which allows a 5-year-old to be given an IQ of 200 if they solved a problem intended for a 10-year-old, even though it was proven later their IQ isn't actually that high), or they use a made up unscientific test like those used by the Mega Society or Giga Society) which are not peer-reviewed or standardized nor have they been rigorously "normed" on a general population. Professionals view these as "power tests" or intellectual hobbies but not scientific instruments at all. Do not believe anyone claiming an IQ above 160. It's not realistically possible. It proves they don't really know what they're talking about. Warren Buffet was right about this: > "Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with the 130 IQ. Once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble." High IQ helps with logic, but Bitcoin is often driven by emotion (Fear of Missing Out or Panic Selling). A person can be a genius at math but still "lose their cool" when they see the price dropping. In fact, highly intelligent people often struggle more because they try to find logic in a market that is currently acting irrationally. Even for a genius, Bitcoin is "unpredictable" because it lacks the standard data points of a normal company: * No Earnings Reports: You can't use IQ to calculate "profit vs loss" like a normal business. * Sentiment Driven: It moves based on what millions of people feel about it on social media. * Irrational Actors: One single person with a lot of money (a "whale") can decide to sell for a personal reason that has nothing to do with logic, instantly changing the price for everyone else. A high IQ is a measure of how well a "brain engine" can process information, but it doesn't provide a crystal ball for markets like Bitcoin, which are driven by trillions of unpredictable human emotions. Just ignore the noise. Quit watching the price. DCA and HODL for 5 years or more and then analyze how it went for you in hindsight. So that and you won't care about a self proclaimed impossible IQ prediction.
Everyone else is wimping out, so I'll take this one. The realistic long term risk is that Bitcoin isn't used for anything in the real world, besides hoarding by our cult, and this is NOT a small risk. Not used as sound money, or even 'gold 2.0', and frankly, the way the banks are currently FOMO-ing into gold 1.0, as Trump keeps tearing down the old world order, its pretty clear that gold has NOT lost its monetary use, to become just another industrial metal, quite yet. I personally think the current Republican embrace of Bitcoin is purely linked to their positive, but twisted, views on bitcoin mining, and not any real desire for a return to hard money, or backing the US dollar with anything, and their HODL will be a LOT shorter than most people here think. I think the way they look at Bitcoin, and mining it, is as sort of a 'Fracking 2.0', like its some kind of digital resource extraction, that the US has some kind of inherent advantage in doing, that we don't have for, say, gold mining, and that Bitcoin mining does acceptable levels of environmental damage, not so much that catastrophic climate damage happens, but enough perceived damage that it pisses off the libs. You can sort of see thi,s in that they describe their HODLing as a 'strategic reserve', which they DON'T describe their gold holdings as, which I think makes it very equivalent in their mind to the strategic reserve of OIL the US already holds. I have a feeling that Trump, or his successor, will 'Elon Doge' the Bitcoin community, by dumping most, or all (!!) of the reserve, to buy dollars off the international markets, if the dollar falters near an election, or inflation surges again, as it likely will, just like they pull market shenanigans with the strategic oil reserve. This lack of government HODLing, or any real money usage, could cause the price of bitcoin in fiat to stabilize, or even gradually fall over the longer term, like what is now happening to almost every altcoin. This doesn't require an end to money printing, only the Fed getting inflation back to 2 %, which I actually think is doable, and they had BETTER do it, or Schiff will be proven right, gold will keep surging, and the country will suffer a lot, and maybe the sheeple will take out their frustration on the Bitcoin community. The positive case is that Bitcoin keeps appreciating faster than the dollar keeps dropping, because of further adoption. This could happen from hedge funds, ETF growth, more third world central banks getting into it, or even the normie sheeple finally FOMOing into it. I think this is reasonably likely, and has been happening for a while now, but it IS hard to predict where the next level of demand will come from, and its definitely not a certainty.
I... I'm scared guys. I became a bitcoiner via MSTR... really loved the whole narrative. Being your own bank, having a form of hard money that no state can print. But wow, is the diamondshanding hard. WGMI... but I come here for some strength to HODL through this! Thank you all for being such strong and supportive people!
What is a neutral stance, really? To me a neutral stance is just an uninformed stance. “What do you think about XYZ, do you like it or do you dislike it?” “Well I don’t have an opinion because I am not well informed on this topic. I remain neutral and am happy to be convinced either way.” If you truly understand bitcoin then IMHO you cannot possibly stay “neutral”. I’d argue that anyone who understands bitcoin, along with a bit of economic history, and human nature in general, would fall into the “HODL to the moon” camp.
I was just kidding brother. Spend what you can afford to lose. And stop selling. HODL!
Bro, don't worry I did the exact same thing. I always had the HODL mentality and I missed 2/3 cycles of life changing gains. Technically I'm still in profit, just not as much as I could have been. I think greed is a big player, everyone keeps looking at charts when the market was/is pumping and that mix of euphoria really keeps you holding on for more. Just take the lesson, and invest in good projects going forward and don't be greedy. Even if you make 100, 1k, 2k. Profit is profit, start to think like that. Remember you can never time the market either, and in crypto there is a lot of manipulation.
Yeah, the meme gets absurd. Many take it too far (if they even understand the point of it in the first place). If you need to USE your BTC for life.... that's like the whole point of it! Perfect money. Money isn't a Tamagotchi. There is zero point in just forever HODL'ing Bitcoin. But, the opposite is the point. There's never a time to trade or sell just because. Pretty much anyone who does that, doesn't understand what they have or have gotten into.
Cycle volatilities dampen as BTC matures—less retail and more institutional HODL'ers.
A healthy view for me is Crypto is Penny Stocks. Until or if CC ever becomes world dominated. Crypto is just a digital penny stock situation. Even Bitcoin is similar to some pennies that took off and did well. Pennies are risky just about the same as Crypto. Both you get pump/dumps. HODL, **FUD**, & FOMO lives in the lives of both these two models of investing. I mean Trump Coin was a huge example of what a Penny stock does.
Sorry. Have the exact same curse and I am convinced it will trigger in a bad way no matter what our intentions are. So i HODL. Been the safe bet forever.
Forgot 3) it will stay range bound as long as you HODL
Yes, whatever can be bought and sold will end up in the hands of the rich. So I HODL to be among them for my lifetime.
Yeah, but I'm already all-in. So, guess I just HODL from here.
Who knows. Just HODL as much as you are comfortable having in the long term.
10% of my earnings is split between a market order and limit order at -20% the market price. Any extra loot goes strait to the bitty. Bonuses, awards, rewards, rebates, refunds, etc. Find your a strategy that works for you. The key is just staying in a position where never have to sell to cover irl hiccups. Small contributions add up over time. Keep stacking and HODL.
WRONG. Tell that to folks who bought and held NDVA or MSFT 5 yrs ago, and HODL.
only if he has strong diamond hand and HODL this long
Yeah, it's possible and a classic crypto mindfuck. We're potentially carving the right shoulder now after a blow-off top, with sub-$70k (or even " electricity cost" \~$40-60k in a real bear) feeling very 2026-plausible if liquidity tightens and the cycle rolls over early like some past ones. Many charts scream bearish H&S or distribution, and sentiment's still too euphoric for a true bottom. Funny? Painfully so if it plays out. But markets love humiliating the obvious narrative too could fake everyone out higher first. HODL accordingly.
If Coinbase and Strategy and countless others can safely HODL billions of dollars worth, I think we’ll all be ok.
Agreed 100%. Which is why I HODL and don’t get caught up with the short term volatility or trying to trade.
HODL does not mean use bitcoin every day for practical use. Use shitty fiat for that.
'Sell before it dips again' is how people end up buying back higher HODL > panic. Great meme.
I tried to trade back in 2020, stupid oh so stupid. I was -0.2, -0.19, +0.06 BTC in my three trades. Quit when I was up. Good thing I did, wish I never ever started. Never again, HODL only. That is 30K+ lost forever in todays $$$, God knows how many in tomorrows.
Bitcoin doesn't need a signal. Buy. HODL. Repeat.
Funny how everyone was posting the M2 money supply vs BTC charts a few months ago until that didn’t work out, now I guess it’s time to draw some new curved lines on a chart and see how it goes. Just HODL for a very long time and keep stacking, we will be ok no matter what silly charts like this say.
the fees are a B\*\*\*\* on coinbase. Thats a buy and HODL platform, not a trading platform, even on advanced :(
Tf u using leverage for? Just HODL the damn thing.
I like the idea. however, not a future trader. I love spots. I buy the dip, HODL, and sell when it rises. That's it. If you want me, I'd love to join your community.
Did it as well. HODL like your life depends on it 👍
The irony of HODLing BTC is that in the pursuit of wealth you will realize wealth is not important. The BTC itself will not make you as happy as the HODLing process. The discipline of the HODL is the ultimate prize. The end goal is to die without selling. You must keep passing your BTC to each generation so that they can morally grow. A life in which you don’t need to liquidate is a life worth living.
The endgame for a HODL strategy is not to sell for a debasing currency, but to hold the ultimate collateral. You don't sell your "forever" assets like prime real estate or land, you borrow against them to maintain your lifestyle while keeping the underlying value.
Only selling for my dream condo & other cashflow opportunities, that cashflow will then fly right back into Bitcoin, otherwise HODL until retirement which is like 35 years away for me atm.
I ended up selling for the first time back in September/October 2025. I thought I would only accumulate and HODL until my investments made it possible for me to retire. But then I started thinking about retiring early and being at home when I'm 50 will be a lot less fun than being home now while my kids are young. So, I decided to take a year off work and my wife was comfortable with it when she saw the liquid cash in our account (HYSA) from selling BTC. I still have mixed feelings but am thankful to still be holding a life changing amount of BTC if we hit $500k in the next 10 years. There's so much uncertainty in the future. I knew with 100% certainty that being home now and helping raise my kids would be the best life experience. Only possible because of BTC.
If you take your keys to the grave you keep your Bitcoin in the afterlife. 🤔👼💰 HODL on!
Yes. Hold until it becomes an undebated globally accepted form of payment for goods and services. There can be fiat running alongside it or not, I don't care. When I can approach someone to buy a coffee, a car, or a house, and they don't blink twice when I say, "can I pay you in bitcoin?," then it's a boring ass asset, and will just be a good, safe store of value. Until that time, it is underpriced. So you hold it or spend it when you need to. You don't sell to "take profit" and hold cash instead. You don't sell to buy back cheaper later - that's gambling. Spend, don't sell. That's what HODL should mean. I can't speak for the entire dumb Internet.
