HOLD

-5H4Z4M-

The main thing people don't want understand is that if your strategy is to BUY and HOLD then you shall not care of anything else, bull run, bear market, dips, pumps, dumps, whatever happens, stick to your strategy : BUY and HOLD. The only exception I allow myself is to keep a bag of Stablecoin to recharge when a big opportunity happens (like the crash of 10-11 October). But don't need to sell anything unless you are in an emergency.

Consistent__Patience

Wait 10 years before judging yourself. You'll see the next wave buy at the top and you'll be like, "ah! I know how they feel!". You buy BTC to HOLD not to sell. Pretend you never bought it. You'll be happier, and you won't sell it!

It really depends on your risk tolerance and whether you’re trading short-term or investing for the long haul. For many of us on here we HODL/HOLD

I don't HOLD. I HODL.

The1WhoDares

HOLD OFF… I bought some BTC when the dump happened but I realized it wasn’t a good move so I sold 1/2 of my buy. & I’ll buy back when the bear market comes. Which it will, it’s just a matter of time… Deciding if I should buy ETH or BTC not sure. But they’re both solid buys, if ur anxious & don’t want to wait. Buy now, just know it’s not going to be in the green for a while. But when it does go up IT GOES UPPPP lol.

Man, when Bitcoin fell all the way back down to $5,000 in 2021, I was DETERMINED that I wasn't missing that boat AGAIN. I felt I was being given a 2nd chance at Bitcoin ownership and so converted just about ALL of my other cryptos into as many Bitcoin's as I could. And now, today, I'm absolutely HAPPY that I made that decision. Because even today, with it at $111,000+ per coin (down approx $15,000 from its recent ATH) it means that I'm UP more than 20x's my purchase price of EACH coin!! And, as I continued to buy other cryptos over the last few years, I managed to rebuild most of them back up to respectable #'s, as well. My ave purchase price of my XRP's is now $0.57 per so, here again, even with its price down to about $2.35+ per I'm STILL up about 5x's my purchase price. And the same goes for most of my other coins, as well. I was also smart and didn't panic sell like so many others did, either and even though my "losses" (on paper, at least) were enough to buy at LEAST 2 medium priced homes in good neighborhoods. You can only "lose" when this happens, if you sell. Just continue to hold on to your coins when this shit happens. Sure, you might "lose" money on paper. But, so long as you don't sell and you continue to HOLD your coins, then when the market comes BACK... as it ALWAYS does... then so likely will ALL of those "losses" you had on paper and you'll be right back where you were BEFORE the crash.. and maybe even better. And, if you had any extra $$, and were smart, you'll have bought even MORE while the prices are down so much and thus, you'll be in an even far BETTER position financially when the markets return.

Unfortunately tge "get rich quick schemes" always have major down side. You are only 36. Start doing the basic traditional lower risk bets. If I dwelled on the several large bitcoin payments I turned down between 2014 and 2018, id lose my mind. But I had bills to pay, so even if I had accepted those occasional large thousands/10ks payments for the business i was running, I couldnt have HOLD then anyways. But I still continue to hold the small amounts that have blossomed in to a new cheap new car. Since about 2018, I have also continued to diversify. The traditional 401k, multiple real estate with a bunch of sweat equity, and now a teacher's pension and 403/457. I felt a very similar feeling at a similar age and over the last 7 years things have changed. You can do the same!

javijavi920

I'm not worried about the price, my strategy is to accumulate as much as I can before they run out of everything hahaha, I also want to be part of that 1%, don't miss out HOLDING and later you will see the true power of BTC, you can acquire much more profits by holding BTC than by selling them, you can trade them and obtain a good return on capital to your portfolio without the need to sell them, no matter the price, keep buying because the true power in the world of Christ is in those who hold on, not in those who sell for profit, HOLD, HOLD HOLD

Limphead01

It’s different for everyone. One person may play basketball relaxed and at their own pace, while another might play super aggressive. But there both on the same court! That’s bitcoin. There slow investors, and lightning fast day traders. And thousands of different types in between! You just need to start buying. Buy what you can afford and HOLD (aka HODL hold on for dear life). Buy once a week or biweekly. Buy it and never think about it again. DO NOT DO THIS TO TRY AND GET RICH WITHIN THE NEXT 5-10 YEARS. BITCOIN IS VERY RISKY. This is a slow wealth building game. If you want to get into trading, have two accounts. Your main one should be your buy and hold account that you NEVER touch. And one account where you swing trade cryptos. To start just download an app! Any of your choosing, you can always change later.

Kills me too. I’m down 12,000 on alts. Stupid decisions. I’ll hold till the day I die. Do your research everyone always posts like this. My advice. DCA, Stake (earn interest) on whatever you have is applicable to it. And HOLD. Eventually you’ll do great. Patience is key.

NEVER and I mean NEVER leave your BTC on Coinbase for ANY length of time. I had an absolutely horrible experience with them. For no reason whatsoever my BTC was essentially frozen for months. This was MY MONEY and they held it hostage for ZERO reason. Their customer service is non-existent, no help by a human is offered. I had to move forward with a law suit to unfreeze my account. Once I did that and threatened legal action I was miraculously able to pull my BTC and get it in cold storage. DO NOT HOLD BTC ON COINBASE period HARD STOP!!!

I first bought a bitcoin in 2017 when it was $4,200. I sold early. Don’t do it. HOLD the line until 2035 at the earliest.

i’ll do what i want and what i feel is right. i know there will be some dips, so if it hits 50k and i can make a good profit, maybe i will sell. i have one bitcoin, i feel good about it now. don’t know how i will feel in 2 years but my goal is to HOLD. also, i really dont know exactly how this all works.. none of us do lol

MrKillerKiller_

Crypto is a SWING TRADE. Never even think about buying any unless you understand that fact. “Investment”, “fundamentals” “hype” is all bullshit. ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN TO SELL BEFORE ANYTHING- buying is easy, biggest worst mistake is buying and have no clue how when where to sell. DO NOT HOLD DOWNTRENDS. This is why theres so many people glued to crypto reddit. They are alll in losses or fucked up their trades desperate for some data info or help. Help yourself, learn eliott wave and ignore everythingbother than charts. No news, no people, no unlocking, no hype. Its all noise. Herd behavior on weekly monthly charts can give probabilities and and edge. Thats why hedge funds and pro traders use it. Learn and avoid being the noob glued to reddit and

NodeTraverser

Don't convert it. Not in 10 years Not ever. HODL, HOLD, HODL. If you have to exchange a bitcoin, exchange it for another bitcoin. 1 BTC = 1 BTC. DCA. Do not pass your bitcoin on to your children because at some stage they may be tempted to exchange it for something of less value like food or radiation suits. 21 million. Bro.

IAmSomewhatDamaged

A couple KEY things to study up on… The Bitcoin Halving Event. This is VERY important to understand because it is the MAIN reason that Bitcoin has a (typical) 4-year cycle. It explains Bitcoin’s supply and helps you understand what triggers the Bull Run every cycle. The 4-year crypto cycle. This ties into the BTC Halving Event (from above). You NEED to understand how the 4-year cycle works so that you understand WHERE we are in the cycle at any given time. This will help you to determine the best times to buy, how much you should buy, and when the best time is to sell (especially if you’re just trying to day trade it). It sounds like you’re just trying to day trade Bitcoin and make a quick buck (based on ALREADY having a $125k sell order set). While you CAN make quick money right now (during the Bull Run that we are in), you are taking a major risk. We are in the final phase of the cycle… so that means Bitcoin is (most likely) going to peak sometime relatively soon— could be later this year. If you are just trying to make a quick buck, and you MISS the peak of the cycle, the price could DUMP HARD over night and you could be in the red for literal years (2-3 years is common). You need to be ready for that, but you don’t need to be scared because, if you study up, you understand that BTC’s price ALWAYS reaches new Highs roughly every 4 years. The things above are subjects that you MUST understand. I could go on and on, but that’s a good starting point lol. There will come a time when Bitcoin’s price dumps HARD, and this subreddit will become a ghost town. People will be saying “BITCOIN IS DEAD!! IT IS GOING TO ZERO!!” Everything in you will be SCREAMING to sell what you have and cut your losses, but don’t do it!! HOLD ON TIGHT and buy even MORE when the price is down in the gutter. Then, just hold on for the next Bull Run (in 4 years or so). It is so much easier said than done, and the longer you’re in the crypto game, the more you will understand what I’m saying.

Bitchinfussincussin

I have an XRP bag. HOLD Price action has been meh for the better part of the year. Ripple isn’t very transparent so my confidence in XRP isn’t that great. I could see it maybe going 2X by EOY, but I can see other projects like HBAR and LINK doing much better in the same time frame.

IAmSomewhatDamaged

Read up on “the 4-year crypto cycle” and “the Bitcoin Halving Event”…. And also look at the All-Time chart of Bitcoin. This will make you even MORE confident in it. Also… VERY smart to just tip your toes in (with where we are at in the cycle). Keep that chunk and DCA (like you said). If (and when) Bitcoin DUMPS after this cycle… THAT is when you really start buying. Then, be prepared to HOLD IT for at least 4-5 years. Do NOT get scared of the volatility, because it does not matter in the long run!!

Practical-Salad-7887

I did the same thing 8 years ago. I bought 4.2 Bitcoin for $400 each, right before it crashed. I sold at $300 per coin. There's a meme where some guy says, "I'll never financially recover from this!" I will never personally recover the value I lost from selling my Bitcoin. HOLD! Hold for (AT LEAST) 8 years. After 8 years, come back and thank me. 😉

IAmSomewhatDamaged

Not right now man. Maybe put a nice little chunk in, then set up a weekly auto-buy (DCA) for now. Wait until Bitcoin DUMPS again after this cycle to REALLY start sinking money into it. Then again, a lot of people are theorizing that, because of institutional adoption and the Bitcoin ETFs (among other things), “this cycle will be different.” I tend to NOT agree with that though. If you are prepared to HOLD it for like 6-8 more years, though, and aren’t afraid of volatility over that span of time, then you probably COULD sink a lot of money into it right now and you would be totally fine in the long run. I just don’t think this is the best time to dump damn near everything you have into it (because of where we are in the cycle). Just be careful dude!!

HODL is HOLD - how do you hold? Don't sell. You're welcome.

Think about it this way. Everyone that is choosing to HOLD their Bitcoin is effectively choosing Bitcoin over dollars at today’s price. Holding Bitcoin = buying Bitcoin. Now you have your answer.

Exciting_Dark_9639

Too add… I keep a group text with loyal HODLers and text them all the time with latest news developments (doing leg work for them) to help develop that conviction.  Been doing that for years.    For those that drop out, I keep them off that group text.  From them, I often get “what do you recommend now?” And I SMH and say “same thing I’ve been saying for 9 years; buy AND HOLD (don’t try to trade and be smarty pants), and they jsut ignore me (although I hope they’re buying in secret but alas).   Many of my friends want the quick rise and sale, but don’t have the mental makeup /discipline.patience/conviction to just buy, hold  for long time (5+ years) and reap benefits.   Virtually impossible to instill that in someone without them understanding it )and developing their own conviction) for themself.  I’m at peace with that now… kind of

My rules for BTC Never go into debt to buy BTC; Unless you have that money (interest included) to pay the debt over the required period of time already on hand and are playing the lets see if I can do this cheaper game. HOLD on a COLD wallet you put in a safe or better safe deposit box in a bank. BTC first and mainly, other coins are throwaway money.

Classic_Flower_735

One means to help mitigate some of this is IF a lender returned a portion of your collatoral with each pay down of principle in other words never having to wait until original loan is paid off to get full access ownership back like sort of happens with real estate loans. Another awesome feature would be if a percentage of bitcoin is returned as its price climbs? Like if the price doubles (100% appreciation) then maybe at least 20% would be unlocked or whatever. Another idea is to make it much more like realestate where instead of a lender HOLDING your bitcoin? All they get is a LIEN against your account meaning they can ONLY ever take it if you default on paying them back! Having some lender HOLD ones's bitcoin seems insanely risky I agree! I mean banks dont get home titles transfered to them right? Same with car lenders....they merely hold a LIEN on the amount lent and even then only the unpaid balance! NOT ALL of it!

wooshceptiontime

That’s why you should get into mining BTC no matter how small, I’m currently mining and I started small. Every one want to get there hands on more BTC so don’t be left out, mine and HOLD.

Upstairs-Wing-5716

That HOLD strategy for Bitcoin makes total sense right now – with the price hovering around $114k, waiting for a dip to $108k-$115k aligns with the 20-day MA support. Conviction at 6/10 feels realistic; long-term fundamentals like adoption and halving cycles are solid, but short-term volatility from tariffs and market sentiment could trigger corrections. I'd set that stop-loss at $105k to protect against deeper pulls. I've been holding BTC too, and to complement it, I'm eyeing Coinbase (COIN) for broader crypto exposure – it's tied to exchange volumes that spike with BTC rallies. Riot Blockchain (RIOT) is another mining play that could benefit from energy trends. For diversification outside crypto, Palantir (PLTR) has that weird AI edge that's undervalued but poised for growth in data analytics. A KI crunching global news and courses might refine these levels even more, spotting patterns early. What's your take on this setup?

HOLD THE LINE. Do NOT let these market manipulators scare you. It is of the utmost importance us redditors stay strong, together. If we fold now, we lose forever. Come on team Reddit, say it with me. HOLD THE LINE. I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN. I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN.

sudo-rm-rf-Israel

For real. There was nothing like waking up and checking coinbase every morning, checking my portfolio. I loved it. Kinda glad I got out when I did, though, despite all those screaming. "HOLD FOREVER!" When I sold my NFT (Invisible Friends), it was 2x like the day after I sold because it got picked up by some big company or something and people were saying it was going to 100x and be the next Crypto Punks. I was in the forums, and everyone was making fun of us who sold, I literally cried and was so pissed and stressed at myself because I didn't have the patience to hold. I got a $19k gain on nearly zero investment, so I should have been happy, but I was miserable, so I ended up getting out after that. But for the most part It was a lot of fun, especially when I was gaining.

Stick to the top few coins man. Eth for "safest" but lowest gains. Personally I'd go for Avax like you mentioned. Sell half at old all time high and a percentage every bit after that. DON'T HOLD 100% OF THE BAG AFTER OLD ATH

Bitcoin USD #1. AI Analysis. Strategy. **HOLD. Conviction Score 6/10.** Strategy Plan. **Entry Points.** Hold existing positions. Defer new entries until a pullback into the $108,000 - $115,000 support zone, which aligns with the 20-day MA and fundamental pullback estimates. **Take Profit Targets.** Primary Target: $123,000 (near recent highs). Secondary Target: $131,000 (conservative analyst estimate). Stop-Loss Level. **For any new positions initiated on a pullback, a stop-loss below $105,000 is advised to protect against a deeper correction.**

Evan Jack knows to HOLD!

OshoBaadu

Google on the bitcoin 4 year cycles. Btc is at an all time high now and will crash in a few months, how low it will go nobody can predict but it can definitely go below 100k. And how high it can go before the crash starts again nobody can predict. So a lot of bitcoin believers just HODL (the crypto term for HOLD) a certain amount (DCA) every month or week or depending on their capacity. It has come from $1000 to $100,000 in the last 8 years due to the tech and limited supply. And it is expected to reach a million at some point before its supply runs out around 2040. Don't go all in now. You can buy like $1000 every month. Good luck. Btw, I am not one of those disciplined hodlers. If I were I wouldn't be here.

You didn’t make a 50% profit. After selling you now owe 22% taxation… you made a 28% profit and now are priced out of the market. Do some math, have a plan to take profits at a predetermined price point. If not, you wasted a few years for a few hundred bucks…. Rookie move due to lack of plan and knowledge of what you actually hold. Buy back i, sure you will have less of a bag, but you will have a bag. If the was Lesson learned you will not repeat it due to being more knowledgeable! I say this, as I too, once made that mistake. Clearef 1,100$ on a bag that 8 months later would made me 220,000. Therefore ONOW WHATBYOU HOLD and stay abreast on US policy and financial markets. Good luck

What part of **GIANT VAULT TO HOLD MY BILLIONS** do you not understand? I'm seriously just amazed that you're like "this guy has no plan he's an idiot". Yeah, he's also a billionaire. He is now passively generating more income than you will ever see in your entire life *just* because of the opportunities that having that much money can bring you. He can do absolutely nothing with his money *but* throw it in a vault and sit on it and in 50 years he will still be a billionaire and you'll still not be. He's got it handled far better than you or your advice can provide because now he can pay people to have his money make money for him. Like your advice just does not apply and you don't know what's possible when you have that level of wealth at your disposal.

Fun-Caterpillar-1169

I'm reading everyone's comments and they are right that assets make you money and keep you well off. Bitcoin has blown up and I had a very small amount a long time ago. Sold it to pay of debts that would have affected other people not just myself. I was happy to do it. If I had held on to it well it would have been a nice little chuck of change to live off of given Bitcoin at 200k. Still I am not tripping on it because I didn't really have a lot and had to do what I had to do. I also still hold other Crypto and just say to myself well they might blow up into wild houses and make me a nice chunk of change. My main point is how much Bitcoin do you have? If your selling 60% to fund a TWO WEEK international vacation. It sounds like a little chunk of change BUT in reality you don't really have a lot of Bitcoin. ALSO with your situation the real point is "surviving" you have no work and guessing you have bills ... I don't know if your wife works and contributes, but I'll assume she works and helps pay stuff since your not working. In reality you might need that Bitcoin to just survive your (like other have said) not really in the position to spend 60% of all you have. I just wanted to really stay focused to one point lets be a little honest you DON'T HOLD A LOT OF BITCOIN.....some people here are saying you'll be "well off in the future for a hundred trips" and get "rich" well I know Bitcoins value is going way up BUT given the small amount you have its not going to be life ending if with your situation you have to do what you have to do and some Bitcoin gets sold. Bitcoin at $200k is amazing I still think its going to be some time till you see Bitcoin at like $400k....so wait all that time just to double the value of the small amount you hold now. That's my point, some would say its very mute point but I think it still matters ..... wouldn't it be nice if we were talking about you even holding 2 Bitcoins....but obviously we are not. People don't want to take what I just said because they are real believers that Botcoin is going to the moon. Some people in there comments talk like they think Bitcoin will get $600k or way more and your small amount will be worth something. Well I don't think Bitcoin is growing to those levels anytime soon AND ANOTHER HONEST THING you don't know if the whole thing could eat shit faster then you would ever imagine. It could happen for a variety of reasons. Its finance, economics(which might look good being Bitcoin is world economics) and digital(I still say the system could brake or just lose favor). Many things can happen. I don't want to say given your situation and what it takes to day trade successfully without stress or with less stress that its smart to sell 60% or a chunk of what you do have saved to make your wife happy because it might make your life hard or of course make it so you have not much capital to day trade with. BUT it might be worth it to consider taking some of what you have and make your wife happy. Some people said do something of a lower expense and that sounds like a ok decision. Consider doing something OR if you want, in the wild life we live, do the international trip to make your wife happy. Find a deal somewhere to make the costs less on that 60% of your Bitcoin. Maybe somehow bring it down to 30% and plan to work in the future to get that all back. But you do that to give what your wife wants and make the family happy. STILL have a plan to make sure your future can be ok as well. Lastly....I don't think you will ever get rid of that pit in your stomach when day trading as your only livable income. It just sounds like you don't have a lot of Bitcoin or savings so day trading when its tight is always going to keep that pit in your stomach. WISH YOU THE BEST MAN AND HOPE YOU/WIFE ARE HAPPY.

How are you going to stay afloat by selling one asset to invest in another asset? You still will have funds tied up in your investments, which make them inaccessible for living expenses. You need to invest what you can and HOLD for one full 4-year cycle at least. However, your current situation seems to dictate a sell of your condo to just cover living expenses and maybe some to invest depending on condo value, time frames and monthly expenses. You say you have a PhD so I feel you already understand this.

Nice to meet people who know, and if you know you know HOLD.

It's risky NOT to have Bitcoin. It's okay to trade Bitcoin for things, but don't HOLD Fiat. hOLD Bitcoin, spend Fiat. Fear is a powerful emotion, I wouldn't act on it and let it control you though

BTC 120K - HOLD BTC 150 K - HOLD BTC 500 K - HOLD BTC <100K - Buy the dip, get it out from the exchange and into my hw wallet.

You should’ve bought when people were fearful (during the Iran-Israel-U.S. situation). You guys never learn, do you? You cry when the market is down and refuse to buy and start considering selling, and then when the market bounces back up you cry about missing out. Either you buy and hold and shut your mouth or you stay sidelined. It’s not too late to buy crypto imo. JUST BUY, HOLD, and forget the market for a while. Stop trading, stop chasing, stop using leverage. BUY, HOLD, enjoy the summer, and forget the market for a few months. Sorry for the vitriolic tone but I had to get my point across. I wish you the best, OP.

HOLD until can spend tax free

stantonkreig

this is why the HOLD FOREVER thing doesnt make sense to me. at some point i'd like to cash in on all the holding. why hoard money all your life just to die with it all

But if you HOLD enough bitcoin to pay off your house, you *have* peace of mind, without paying it off. It is a self-secured debt. You actually hold MORE peace of mind with the bitcoin, as it gains value at a higher (much higher) rate that the mortgage interest devalues you. Even if you spend your BTC month-to-month to make mortgage payments, you're coming out drastically ahead of a paid-up-front home.

Yesss HOLD is power

HOLD

First mistake "trade" You need to buy BTC + XMR and HOLD. Period the end. Get a "job" , make up a business, get paid in BTC and XMR but be sure to research if your business is legal first. Mow lawns , take down trash cans , request payment in BTC. Your neighbors can buy BTC on exchange and you can invoice them using wallet software. Do small jobs using Lightning wallet. Big jobs directly on chain. Welcome to the future of digital gold!

TooTallTrey

The point of it all is to HOLD. I’m holding until its worth enough to invest in property, even then it will only be a consideration. I’m not going to spend it on groceries or gas.

GasImpressive178

BTC should be the only thing people not into crypto should buy and HOLD.

FurEvrHome

Your buddy sounds butthurt over some poor trades. Admittedly, I only buy what is backed by utility, and I HOLD. I'm not putting all my money on FARTCOIN and then sending shitty messages to my friends when it doesn't pan out. I would reply, "Thank you for sharing your perspective," and leave it at that

MichaelAischmann

HOLD steady lads. Better than getting sidelined for listening to Superman. Time in the market beats timing the market.

neelsmith74

Clear out the idea of you having anything that will change your life short term with that amount. However, i would say putting everything you can afford (5k) into an account for your daughter and HOLD for10-20 years she may have 50k-500k possibly. The trick here is the transition of keys to your daughter (especially if terminal, who's handing over and supporting while she's still so young) and her conviction to continue to hold for that 20 year mark after she hits 18 (that's still young to make lifetime investment decisions - i would have blown any money i had until about 25).

Obvious you do not have the discipline nor temperament. IT TAKES YEARS.... I have been in the crypto game for many years. If you want to make money LONG TERM, DCA when the market dips (like now)... HOLD when the market moves sideways, SELL when the market is up 100, 200, 300, 400 percent. If you can't take 6 months of movement in the crypto markets, then investing in this is not your bag, baby.....

neelsmith74

I've bought to high as well in the short time frame, but I'm in till 1 million+ per BTC or bust. Just HOLD for at least one full cycle, ideally at least two 4 year cycles.

Hey everyone, things have changed. The breakout is adoption, not a bull run. We may not see a bull run at all. Crypto is a hold now for long-term holders, one or two may take off, not all. You're either in for a 2035 return, with maybe a few false starts along the way. Close up the wallets and check in on adoption every few months, but HOLD HOLD HOLD

Let help you understand investing, before explaining “buy the dip” 1. You only buy securities you believe in. The only possible way you could believe in it to buy it, is by a lot of research into it. If you bought a security (stock, index fund, crypto) and if dips after you bought, and you’re sad and confused by that, you do not understand what you invested in. You need to do more research. 2. There is NO GET RICH QUICK. It is only get rich SLOWLY. And OVER TIME. This is where TIME INNNN THE MARKET, beats TIMING the market. What this all means is, you buy assets to HOLD, long term. As in, over 1 year + - DO NOT BUY ASSETS YOU DO NOT PLAN TO HOLD FOR VERY LONG PERIODS OF TIME. Day traders are nothing but gamblers. INVESTORS hold for long periods and see profits. Every stock I was watching as an amateur investor in 2018 is all up a minimum of 300% …. minimum. Some are over 1000% That’s STOCKS. Hadn’t even gotten into crypto yet. So what does this have to do with buying the dip? If you’ve done your research, and you plan to hold for long periods of time, buying thd dip is nothing but seeing your assets on sale to add to your positions. If I bought a stock at $20/shares, and it later dips even more to $15/share, I’m excited for that dip and either buy more, or HOLDING. That’s it. This is a good thing because this LOWERS your cost per share. So when it goes UP, you are making that much more in GAINS. So for beginner investors who have been buying the dips the last couple of months with trump and his tariffs, we didn’t see a return right away, like within a week… but we have now seen crazy returns now that it’s months later. TIME IN THE MARKET. Cliff note. Since you’re in crypto now, you need to prepare for BIG swings. And always remember the golden rule of crypto, if your profit is big enough to take a picture and brag, it’s time to SELL.
