HOLD

johnnyrebel1861

Don't try to time the market. Just buy & hold. There's generally three outcomes for BTC this year and next. 1.) It will increase in value. 2.) It will lower in value 3.) It will move sideways. So you might regret the decision to "buy at an ATH" if outcome #2 happens. However, It won't matter in 4-8 years, it'll only matter that you purchased nearly half a coin's worth. Don't try to time the price of bitcoin, because nobody knows for sure what the price will be. 'Time in the market' is better than timing the market. Just buy and HOLD. If it crashes.... buy some more. If it goes up in value or stays relatively the same... buy some more. Just buy. Think 20 years, not 20 days. If you don't understand this, then maybe BTC isn't for you.

I would withdraw enough to feel like it is a comfortable safety net (recommendation from financial experts, who are always out of touch with everyday folks, say 6 months of income is. I personally feel ok with less.) Keep the rest in Bitcoin! That way, you’re sure you’ve made money off it, you have a liquid asset in American currency, but you aren’t giving up on the bitcoin dream. I know this won’t go over well with the HOLD HOLD HOLD folks, but I promise your marriage matters more.

HOLD BITCOIN, nothing more. For the short term I can play with some alcoins, but in the long term BTC

Seems like your HOLD strategy worked for you. Enjoy your dream car!

1. You have to thank God. 2. HOLD (If you don't have a need that forces you to use those BTC)

It's on phantom wallet swap eth for base. $2 end of month. HOLD

Blowngust

If you can handle ups and downs, definitely 100% BTC for the long run. I started in 2017 and thought I was late. Sold after a 2x, went back all in in the covid crash after I learned my lesson. Lesson is: BUY AND HOLD

SignificanceOld7075

Short answer - No one really knows. Don’t seek financial advice from here either. My suggestion is to buy BTC, DCA and HOLD. Forget about it. Out of the projects listed: HBAR & ETH are the only other ones I hold myself

True_Day3466

It’s going to go below 100k, maybe to as low as 85-90k, but it should be at or above the current levels by this time next year. I’d say HOLD and wait until the end of 2025. If the dip below 100k doesn’t happen; that just means more profits because the next peak will be higher. But as of now I wouldn’t buy anymore unless it drops to below 100k.

Fearless_Damage_1469

Yes, but a massive portion of people buy it for the monetary gains not necessarily the technology! Hence why I said IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE TECHNOLOGY, HOLD IT YOURSELF!

Mother_Let_9026

I want it to be different but look at the amount of morons giving their money to ETFs to.... wait for it... HOLD CRYPTO FOR THEM LMFAOO.. I genuinely get why the elite have a disdained for the masses.. "Their money is better in my hands, i know how to spend it better"

Tasty_Action5073

Typical. Refer to my previous comment on this sub 😂 You never exit bitcoin JUST TO HOLD FIAT. That’s very stupid. You exit bitcoin to buy something you really need. Something that will improve your life.

mneymaker

Do you consider that for high-wealth families that became landlords of very cheap and bloody lands and properties 200 years ago? The fact of being early does matter. Imagine a scenario where your great grand children discuss about you being an early BELIEVER. The fact that each or any do actually HOLD and not sell is actually an act of support for BTC. It's not like you're not doing anything when you contemplate almost every day/week/month/year whether or how much ta sell/buy/hold. It's a matter of perspective what "doing" means in that case. "Holding" is enough doing for this early. Also "using" is another act of "doing" for instance if everyone was using sats to order from McDonalds, Coffee or w/e it's a trend that might be inforceing a future situation that big companies will see/adapt more and more as years go by....

Smooth_Pianist485

Here’s an even better and simpler strategy: BUY AND HOLD BITCOIN. I’ve been doing this strategy for years and I’m up thousands of percent.

pinktrending

Yep, Strike is great and your plan sounds great too. DCA and HOLD

dj_destroyer

It was approximately $65k around the time of the last halving -- and has basically gone up since then. I try to accumulate before the halving, hold for a year, then slowly decumulate to lock in some gains, always trying to have more BTC than the last cycle. So I know people don't like to hear it, but I just started selling. I was buying in 2023. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, HOLD FOREVER IS EASY/SAFE.

TranslatorFine

Lmmfao 😂🤣 One Costco hotdog til death!!!! Sad but true for those that fail to at least put $50-$100 to at least HOLD some kind of position in Bitcoin

criptomusico

Dollar Cost Average. HOLD for dear life.

criptomusico

DCA, HOLD, & never sell unless necessary

hebrew-hammers

Trying to time this volatile beast is a losers game. The best way for average ppl is to most importantly *HOLD* and use the DCA method with amounts you can afford about 1-2x a week. Make bigger purchases when it appears to be in a bear cycle but even that last part is hard to time and not relevant in the long term. I recall making a large (for me) purchase back in the 2021 bull cycle and thinking I messed up. Held through it and it’s almost doubled from that point.

Theverybestestintown

BUY BITCOIN. To all those wondering about xyz btc mining firm, treasury co. etc. just buy BTC or the BTC ETFs and you won't be let down. BTC will break $150K and possibly $200K this cycle. Just HOLD.

MrYoshinobu

Most were plowing money back into stocks. But I wouldn't sell my crypto at all. Just expect more volatility. The stock market is still vastly overvalued and we now have an admin that likes to swing trade it with every announcement. And yet gradually, Bitcoin is being seen as legitimate asset. *HOLD!!!*

curtybe

Bull run is only hotting up.. HOLD!😉

Mediocre-Exchange-86

Most coins are just getting back to baseline. Really, you should have bought a month ago. But for those who didn't. The sky isn't falling like the media said it was. Everything is spiking right now. The market is about to recover. Will it fully recover in a month or 6 months? Idk. But in 5 years, none of this will matter. An example? Bitcoin was 3k in 2020, and 5 years later, it's 100k. PLAN TO HOLD FOR 5 YEARS FOR THE BEST RETURN AT THE MINIMUM. Until then buy the dip and sell on a high. Don't panic sell.

Sin-City-Sinner

Now what? HOLD!!!!! Tf ya think 🤣

Master_Rain_9229

Totally agree. But the thing is, I *''knew''* that the markets were going to go up in the next couple of months/weeks and would continue to do so further, so I was very confident that if I just held and didn’t do anything, I would make a fuck ton of money. I was totally AWARE of that. But over the weeks, when everything went according to plan, I was getting used to the idea of these 250k. It felt like not much at all. That was the moment Bitcoin started consolidating, and I was already massively in profit. But as said, I was getting used to it. These 250k that I basically had in front of me felt like peanuts. I started feeling the need of wanting more. Greed. There was a fuck ton of liquidity below us at 80k, so I thought to myself: what if I sell now, lock in my profits (which were about 8k at that point), and reenter the market when the liquidity around 80k gets grabbed, with my new profits, and then let it run? Then an average of a 10x would get me to around 650k. Now *THAT* felt cool! So this thought got more prominent in my head over time, not letting me go. Just a big: What if? And I knew the whole time that would be the dumbest thing to do and went against everything I told myself not to do. But eventually I sold. And now I was sitting there. With around 12k USDT. And even then, the 600k didn’t feel enough. So I entered a short position. All in. With 8x leverage, with the thought: *If the markets don’t go down to 80k one more time, I’m fucked anyways, so why not short it.* I know that’s the dumbest way to think and I wasn’t clearly thinking at that time, not at all. Didn’t sleep a lot and had a lot of personal problems as well in my life. But I did it. And Bitcoin hit my entry price perfectly, went down, so I was confident my plan would work, but as told, it was kind of an all-or-nothing thing, so I didn’t even set a stop loss. Woke up the next morning and now I was in the mess. Bitcoin pumped, and was in an all-in short position now down like 50%. Long story short, I now got liquidated and the money’s gone. I’m not sad about the money that’s gone. Money comes and goes. And i'm confidend in my ability to get money in the future. I’m sad that I didn’t stick to my plan. I even recorded videos of me at 4 a.m. in the morning entering the positions on Black Monday, as a memory for myself in the future, swearing to myself that my strategy was to just HOLD and not do anything but set my stop loss at break-even for all of my positions—which I did. But as soon as I was sitting in profit and Bitcoin started consolidating, I was getting sooo fucking greedy, completely lost my mind, and fucked up everything. Now, my plan went through perfectly pretty much and Bitcoin’s sitting at 100k. That was my plan from the beginning—I knew that’d happen—but the 250k, which I was so confident of getting if I just held, wasn’t fucking enough. WTF. 17 years old and 250k’s not enough... Don’t know what I was thinking, but it definitely was the biggest lesson ever, even though it sounds dumb. If everything tells you not to do something but you still get pulled towards doing it—probably don’t fucking do it. I knew i'd get 250k at 17 and it wasn't enough. (The 250k im using is just hypothetical, but i estimate i'd made at least around a number somewehre in that area)

hsinewu

Are you new here? just HOLD. If you understand what is inflation and how bitcoin can actually fix it. It can go up to anywhere, just a time matter. I'm expecting like 120k this cycle.

Witness-Wrong

Sometimes I feel these are just troll accounts. But if it isn’t. Just HOLD. It’s that simple. Make a decision on how long it how much you want to profit and then look at it at that time. If your this stressed your going to loose it BTC drops 30 to 40 percent. Just buy and hold.

Specialist_Key6832

I'm mixing both, meaning I'm mostly DCA/HOLD on BTC, no chasing the last shiny crypto, no buying and selling, no trading, trying to keep the fees to a minimum, thinking long term, minimizing tax, and having an emergency fund just in case. I think a three fund portfolio it's a good strategy that complement Bitcoin.

Buy and HOLD Don’t forget to study as max as you can

HOLD it u til there’s a better store of value. So forever. 😊

Electronic_Law1470

Learn about self-custody and then self-custody your Bitcoin so that you can truly own it. Trust me DONT NOT GET RID OF YOUR BITCOIN BUY AND HOLD IN COLD STORAGE WHERE YOU TRULY OWN IT AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR SEED PHRASE BY BUYING A STAMP SEED OR BLOCKSTREAM METAL PLATE. Thats a great solid way to start

Sin-City-Sinner

Welcome, and don’t ever feel bad that you only got $10 worth of bitcoin to start out with, just keep putting what you can in but don’t overextend yourself and end up evicted or getting your car reloaded or not being able to buy food etc.… And just keep stacking, use it as a savings account, set it and forget it and HOLD!!!! I know it is going to be so much easier said than done especially when you’re holdings all of a sudden are worth $50,000, but $50,000 really is not that much money and as tempting as it would be to cash it out do not! If you want real wealth just hold hold hold and hold some more, if bitcoin does what everybody hopes and a lot of people think it will then you’ll never need to cash it out because the world will adopt bitcoin as the world currency and you will just keep the bitcoin that has matured into a nice amount of wealth, if the world adopts it then why would you ever cash it back out into Fiat, it would be like trading American dollars for some damn rupees… Maybe that’s a bad example lol but you will lose buying power, if bitcoin becomes the world’s currency then we won’t have dollars anymore we will spend sats. That is the hope anyway. Happy stacking and good luck and welcome. You made the right move congratulations!

RetroGaming4

Duh. The point is not whether you should buy AND HOLD a bitcoin. The point is that you don’t have enough bitcoin for what’s coming in the next 5+ years.

thealfredsecure

When the price DROP - BUY, when price RISES - HOLD.

TryOk6157

Hold strong until 2026 peak. If you panic, you lose. If you HOLD, you WIN. Bitcoin rewards patient lions, not panicking sheep. Target: 2026 peak around $150K–$200K. Sit tight. Don’t touch. God bless you.

Smooth_Boysenberry56

Dude, you’re going to be wealthier than you can imagine. Just HOLD!

Dragon_slayer1994

You could take a risk by selecting a few of the top 10 market cap alt coins to buy and HOLD for the next 10 + years. Something like Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Cardano. The key here in my opinion is hold and not try to jump around various hot coins. Commissions and buying tops slice a person up real quick. But you need to know this is risky and you could lose all of this money!

quickiler

Nah, living under bridge because HOLD

RepresentativeAct868

HODL Means to hold on for dear life. HOLD simply means hold.

>Bitcoin is a currency so its usefulness depends on circulation. Unlike stocks, its value requires people to sell. If no one had bought that pizza with it, or sold when it hit $1K, or cashed out in 2017... BTC wouldn’t be what it is today. No, Bitcoin's usefulness does NOT depend on its circulation, you stupid ignorant FOOL. This is a profoundly ignorant statement that reveals that despite having seen the amazing usefulness of BITCOIN for over 10 YEARS, you still spew this garbage nonsense about money needing to be spent to have value. Do you even bother to THINK about the asinine drivel that comes out of your dumb mouth? I HATE people like you. You never bother to THINK things though. You NEVER question your own ideas and thoughts. That is why you are and always will be a loser. WHY would bitcoin need to be sold or spent to have value? How can you possibly think that if people had insisted on HOLDING their bitcoin instead of spending it on pizzas and other hedonistic consumption that Bitcoin would be worth *less*? Do you even think about the stupid shit you say? People are WRONG about money. Money is NOT for spending. At *BEST* spending is an incomplete analysis of the usefulness of money. Anyone with half a brain can know this to be true by understanding that in order to spend any money, someone else downstream of that transaction MUST SAVE/HOLD that money on their balance sheet--otherwise the value would instantly drop to zero. Money is NOT a tool for spending. Its usefulness and value does NOT come from nor is dependent on losers like you who are to stupid to know what seems like a very obvious rule--you don't sell your fucking Bitcoin. Money is a tool for storing economic energy--a tool for saving, and its value comes from people who have the foresight to produce and then save that money on their balance sheet. No spending is required or even possible without a money first being demanded and used as SAVINGS. But you are too much of a loser to have even thought though that, so you keep parroting nonsense like some willfully ignorant child who believes whatever is said to them. I'm glad you didn't save your Bitcoin. You aren't worthy of this superior money. Now kindly go shit in your hat and stop repeating this blasphemy that "REEE! Spending is what makes money valuable!!!" . Have fun staying poor, you disgusting clown.

The_IrishCream

Early. People still can't even fathom what it is and think it's "fake" even though they all operate off of "fake" money that's digitally represented in their bank accounts. Hell, most people that buy gold, buy "fake" gold...meaning they don't even PHYSICALLY HOLD the little yellow rocks 😂

DyerNC

So....I have seen this before. Just like the Stock Market...brokers always make the money. Shrewd wrote a book years ago "Where are all the customer's yachts?" Before the Great Depression the stock market soared, but only few got rich, the brokers. When these assets are tokenized, someone has to HOLD the asset (Stock, Bond, etc). This is not free. And who sells the tokens? The holder. Blackrock smells blood and are pushing a billion dollar opportunity for them. We can democratize by not having stocks or bonds and just tokenizing debt and corporate ownership. Cut out the middle. But that will not happen, the Brokers still want their fiat.

In future, will they switch from HODL to HOLD?

Glittering-Path-2824

I think it has already proven itself as a store of value. The problem is many retail investors got into BTC in the recent bull run so the baseline expectation is NUMBER GO UP. But that's not how a store of value works. The right thing is for it to HOLD its value at the minimum when the market is going apeshit, and that's what you're seeing. People who got into BTC in the mid-2010s are still laughing all the way to the bank.

Pickle_Status

Emergency_Egg1281

It's a correction, just like the stock market. Look at this as an opportunity. Just like in 2009, when the stock market took a dive , people who had the money to buy at that time made out like bandits a year and a half later. No one can say this is the bottom or what will happen as we all know . Just be aware that major institutions are loading up right now as panic sets in with the majority. HOLD. it will come back.

That is his biggest mistake But he will learn in time. In a couple years he will learn to see the cycles and experiance will teach him to never trust anyones word because everybody even these fucking so called experts are just talking shit (Everytime a so called Bitcoin/Crypto expert like (scammer) Michael Saylor says something regarding Bitcoin or Crypto's trajectory or future, ask for source of information. I bet you a Bitcoin that he can't provide credible source of information for the claims that he and others like him spits online. Their source of information is "Trust me Bro") No one knows is key OP will learn but it takes a couple years of watching the cycles HOLD and ignore what people say is the savest and most succesfull strategy

Sounds like Panic selling to me bro. Relax. Stop looking at your bags for a month. HOLD the Bull hasn't even started yet. We are on the cusp of real world adoption being REAL.... NOT JUST SPECULATION CRYPTO is going to see the biggest pump in the history of pumps in the last half of 2025 and through part of 2026 ..... But this time. There won't be as big a drop into bear markets. Because they will actually be doing things and generating revenues. Selling NOW seems kinda unwise

BTC is going to rise eventually, but no one knows when. It might not be this year or even 2026. Or it might be next weeK. Buy BTC when you get your salary, but be ready to have to HOLD it for much more than 1 or two years if you expect significant growth.

JnyQest

As more and more of the coin is in the marketplace, the 4 year cycle becomes less and less pronounced. The same with the price. It's not the same when small hands cannot see how they will ever have a whole coin. BUY AND HOLD IS THE ONLY ADVISE TO GIVE.
