Maybe in between? I liquidated 25% of my holdings because I had to get the money for my final year of college. This covers my tuition, a laptop, and a desktop computer needed to complete the majority of the coursework.

The rest remain on hold. And I still hope to reimburse all of these previous expenses by freelancing and some part time employment. Hoping to get back on track within this year.

The year 2022 might have been the hardest to some who trust Centralized exchange like FTX to store their funds or others who invested in altcoins that couldn’t survive the bearish year. But certainly it was a great year for me, first for the opportunity to join this forum and then to gain more knowledge about bitcoin. The best of it is the fact that we had the opportunity to buy bitcoin below the $20k cushion. Who will have thought we get it this low.
I am holding some although it doesn’t seem much to me but I have the holding in two categories. One batch will be sold when the current ATH is surpassed and the other batch will be next halving after that 2024 if at all there isn’t any surprises or emergency beyond the my emergency funds

Yes, am still holding my Bitcoin for the price to reach my expectation in this 2023 before I can sell to make suitable incomes from the market. What I saw in the crypto market few hours ago show that bull season will soon kick off for those that hold for a long time to think of how to visit the market to release their coins to achieve what they want and  wait for another opportunity to come before they can buy and hold again. Since the price has demonstrated some signs in this month of January, that is making majority traders to believed that this new year will be better than last year 2022.

I can’t argue with you here and I have to agree that 2022 was a very, very unpleasant year for bitcoin. I would say even a catastrophically unsuccessful year for btc. But despite all the troubles, bitcoin was able to withstand and once again show that something is yes costs. It also gave new opportunities to build up btc in their wallets, which many took advantage of.

I think there is no clear answer and there will be people who still hold btc, and those who sold at different stages. Some are better, some not so much. Even those who sold at a loss can now buy bitcoin to make up losses later or even make some profit.

Now there is certainly no point in selling, because this is the time to buy and accumulate. Perhaps this is the last chance before the start of a bullish trend.

Should we assume last year to be that bloody woth investors when you are presented with the opportunity to hold and not sell your coins  while the bitcoin isn't going down to zero to have cause this great panic of fear for missing out, i will rather believe it's a year to hold down and for new investor to set for coming in.


Alot of dramas to say have happened but much of them where not directly with bitcoin holdings but as a result of centralized exchanges collapse and lost of bitcoin worth millions due to holding them on a third party wallet and other scam associated with hacking and loosing the bitcoin when the wallet keys were compromised which should be from our end and not bitcoin.


If you aren't holding now i don't know the appropriate time to hodl again when the bitcoin price is already dip, the best advice nowbis to invest, hodl and keep your asset decentralized and private by avoiding any means to third party access with your bitcoin investment and the access to the keys.

I did not sell all of my portfolio in 2021, I was expecting the bear season to come in 2022, and I am very pleased with what I have achieved so far, although I see many people feeling bad that bitcoin has dropped 80% by 2022. I accumulated some bitcoins in 2022, and in 2023 I hope there will be another down year so I can accumulate bitcoins at a lower price. As such, I have no reason to sell my bitcoin at the moment, I will only sell when it crosses the old ATH.

The FTX crash,Luna crash and so on affected bitcoin price to drop drastically and so many altcoin crashed out and so many investors lost in the crypto market. Still this was an opportunity for newbies to invest and for people to accumulate more bitcoin for themselves. This shows that in every bad situation there are benefactors,this also made so many investors to understand the way how to keep their investment safe by themselves in a noncustodial wallet,i.e not your keys not your coin.

I am still hodling and I don't have any plans of selling yet until 2025 when I know that the I am ready to carry out my project,but I will not be selling all as I will keep bitcoin as my valuable asset,which I can give to my son when he is grown up as a man.

Of course, we still HOLD bitcoins and will not sell until the price returns to ATH again, sorry I cannot mention here how many bitcoins we have but during the bearish phase in 2022 we will continue to buy and will continue to accumulate them.

We still have a good opportunity to buy bitcoin now the price is still low with the increase last night not much and don't panic keep buying bitcoin and hold it until the price is really high even though there are many new investors coming it's a great opportunity it's just that they need mentally strong to start from scratch to run all the time.

Speculation in 2023 is too big, but I won't think about it as long as bitcoins are still not collected a lot, so focus on the goal of owning as many bitcoins as possible.

Well, basically buy bitcoins on exchange platforms then withdraw and HOLD them in hot wallets or cold wallets.

People who panic end up missing the gains.  Pretty much anyone who mined or bought during the 2009 and 2020 period (even some of 2021) is doing well.  The people who were looking to make a quick buck and then overreacted probably didn't know that bitcoin has been very volatile, but over its existence has outperformed every other asset class and certainly inflation by orders of magnitude.

The advice that has paid off over time: buy (or mine) some coins.  Put them in cold storage.  Wait.  Come back and look in a few years.  Hold longer.

And you are right, anyone keeping coins on exchanges is asking to lose them.
