I don't know about the others, but people around me mostly hodl all their btc and they didn't sell during bear market. All this patience is finally paying off. I always planned that once btc reaches 20k that i will sell at least half, but now i am not so sure since end of 2021 might be like end of 2017 and then even $100,009 is possible.

So in the end i will probably  just go on with hodl.

Holding for a long term like from the last ATH is depends on every person situation. If you have enough capital and you have a lot of extra money or still have a descent work then I think you can hold bitcoin for so long no matter what and wait for another ATH to come rather than selling at lose.

Some people who buy high on ATH $ 19783 will experience a hitch when the price starts to fall and of course they all panic. There wouldn't be many who had survived the Long Hodl until now. The current price has almost reached the new ATH.

I was not one of those who bought at the highest ATH price at that time, but I have many friends who get stuck at the ATH price and then sell it at a low price to stop more losses, because I can't wait any longer.

The 2017 ATH until now, which will reach a new ATH again in 2020 or 2021, will take approximately 3 years and that is quite a long time for Hodl Panjang.
Long holds can pay off, but a lot of perks will come.

Holding is very risky because you didn't know if the price of the coin you hold will return to it's ATH so, be smart and always take the risk. I think it's better if you hold the 50% and sell the another 50% to save even a little if your holding turn to lose.

I still remember the time that Bitcoin was surging last 2017 but at that time, I was a newbie in the crypto space and I don't have any money too to spend on buying Bitcoin. If I'm one of the investors who bought at its peak at that time though then I will just cut loss.

Now that I know the basics of it and I know how to buy and hold it, I started to hold ever since and I'm quite happy that I got huge profits already by just holding and I know that there are some who are happy too.

If you aren't that knowledgeable enough in trading then holding would be the better option for you. Longer time frame but less risky. I'm not saying though that there is no risk in holding since crypto is volatile but history shows already that holding Bitcoin for a long time will give you profits no matter what.

Depend in which Exchange you use because in some exchange Bitcoin crossed $20,000
Big gainers are the believers in which They stand holding even how many Dip happens before then not like those victims of FOMO's in which at time did not believe the coming ATH.
i would say MANY,but they are just the Many people you may read here advising to Buy and Hold but the truth is they don't even buying a single satoshi.
actually this happens each time after a year of halving in which expected to be the Bull market.
but still many don't want to trust the coin instead panicking once the market shakes down.

Hello. Patient and positive bitcoin enthusiast here. I held my bitcoin through the rise and crash.

Just fyi, if a certain asset crashes, you don't really "lose" your money if you didn't sell. Because in bitcoin's case, obviously, it goes back up. And it is doing that just now as we're only like $2k from the all-time high.

Not many people can hold their bitcoin for a long time ago. Many of them stress to see the bitcoin price are down from time to time. But I am sure that many of them are still trying to survive because they believe that bitcoin will have a chance to increase. They believe their dream almost becomes a reality in which bitcoin price already touches $18,400, which is happening less than a year from this year. The bitcoin price will get the new ATH sooner or later, and we do not predict how high the bitcoin price can hit.

But besides hold, we can try to accumulate and earn every satoshi, so when the price can jump to the highest price, we can sell it and make a big profit. Fortunately, if you hold 1 bitcoin, it will still 1 bitcoin, but the money value will be change. So you can try to hold and calm down and enjoy the ride. But don't panic because you can't think clearly about what you need to decide.

I have to admit I failed to HODL. Because during the last bull run in December 2017 I hadn't sold my portfolio. When it was a dump then I had tried to recover my funds by trading, I mean I was an attempt to increase my BTC portfolio. But I am regret, I bought a few obvious shit coin and lost everything. Even I lost hope that will recover ever since BTC in bull mode but seems all the shitcoin just dumping and dumping.

But yes, who had enough patience I think they are gainer today. They have recovered their funds almost. I don't think too much HODLer there who had waited for 3 years.

Selling at the peak and then re-buying at the lowest point obviously gives you the biggest gains, but is easier said than done. Just holding is certainly a reasonable strategy if you're - as most of us are - in it for the long-term, and hope to see bitcoin change the world.
My intention this time is to sell a proportion once I think it is about to peak, and then re-buy later... but I'm too risk-averse to sell it all.
