People that don't want to sell their Bitcoin till death are those that have the goal of passing it on to their children or grandchildren. For example if you are a billionaire and you bought like 50 BTC and at same time you still have many source of income, you may not have the need to spend your Bitcoin for years and can even decide to will it to your children. I will keep holding my small Bitcoin and I will also continue to work on my self so that after my academics, I can get a good job and start a good business. If my goal goes as planned, I will hold my Bitcoin for more than a decade before I sell and if by that time, there is not need to sell, I will continue holding.

Buying Bitcoins and holding them for life completely defeats the purpose of the goal you would like to achieve. Everyone here has completely different plans, which is why they decide to invest in bitcoins. I often hear recommendations that are similar to advise, so under no circumstances should people sell their bitcoins. But why? I'm not going to live forever, so whenever I feel like I need to sell, I do. I don’t understand those who want to save on everything now to be richer later. Likewise, I prefer to live here and now.

Most user that made such comments are those who just exaggerates their words that really means holding long term until target price reached. Everyone here invest on Bitcoin to have profit and it’s really nonsense to never sell it because if the intention just to help Bitcoin price to grow by buying and never sell then just send the purchased Bitcoin directly to Satoshi wallet address to make sure that it will never be sold.

Deciding holding long term even though the price is already on the current ATH is not really smart move because you can always re-enter during correction to have a much larger quantity of Bitcoin that will bring you more profit in long term.

It's probably because it's none of your business or any of us to know if a person's hodling their bitcoin, it's not really worth talking about what you're hodling anyway, it's not a good conversation starter and it's something that you should be talking about when someone asks you and you consent in talking about hodling, another thing, bitcoin or any cryptocurrency for that matter is a financial tool and it should be private as much as possible because who knows who'll hear about you hodling bitcoin, throughout history, those who extravagantly flaunt their wealth are the type of people to have their money get stolen from them.

When it comes to that question of hodling forever or selling at some point, let me ask you this, are you well off enough that you'd just hodl that bitcoin and give it as a inheritance to your children or grandchildren? Or are you planning on buying something to live a more stable and secure life? If you choose the former, then good for you, I guess you'd be hodling all your life but if you choose the latter then it's probably a good idea for you to set a goal price that you'd be selling everything since you're not hodling forever, you're going to be needing to take that profit no matter what.

If I were to sum up my answer to your question, I'd say that it's a good idea to hodl your bitcoin for the long-term but never marry the bag that you end up not enjoying the profits of your investments.

OP what do you think?

What do you want out of Bitcoin?

You don't have to do what others are doing, I hope you know that, just make up your own mind and do what you want with Bitcoin, you don't have to hold until the end of time, although I dont want to live without no Bitcoin at all.

Have your plan, you can hold for the short term or long term, it's your Bitcoin, so do whatever you like, I have Bitcoin and I plan to hold for a long time, this won't stop me from taking profits either, do not forget that there will always be a bear market and bull market.

It makes less sense to hold Bitcoin through a bear market just because you dont want to be out of Bitcoin, I will always sell in a bull market, secure some profits, and buy back in a bear market, this will increase your bitcoin than holding and buying.

Bitcoin is about smarts, not luck. HODLing? Selling? A winning plan is needed for this tough decision.

Please note that HODLing is not for lazy people. Viewing the big picture. Bitcoin is a revolution, not a stock. They dont print more, therefore value rises. People simply want it. Bitcoin has made tremendous gains in the past. If you think it keeps rising, you're not crazy.

However, clever investors know when to act. Setting a goal is navigating, not quitting. Determine your risk tolerance and what makes sense. At that number, boom! We must reconsider. You could sell some, profit, and invest the rest. Balance, market knowledge, and sharpness matter.

YOU decide whether to hold or sell. Make it count. Bitcoin is the future, not simply money. Keep reading, follow trends, and act confidently. Winners go that way.

Everyone is always setting targets for themselves, and they do want to hold bitcoin till they archive their target. If you don’t want to sell your bitcoin, then it’s your choice. Some people will want to leave their bitcoin for their children, so if you are investing in bitcoin, if you notice you are satisfied with the profit you have made, you can just decide to sell all your bitcoin, and you can decide to sell part of your bitcoin and keep on holding the remaining one. After the next bull run, I am going to sell like 70 percent of my bitcoin, and I will leave the remaining bitcoin.

It’s left for you to decide. I don’t think anyone should tell you what you are supposed to do with your money. If you want to set a goal, and after achieving it, you are going to tell it, or you are going to hold it forever, you should make the decision yourself.

The main goal of holding Bitcoin is to make good profits, and this requires long-term holdings. Every man has a dream and every man wants to fulfill that dream. And for this all usually save money in a bank or with themselves, while the amount of money they keep remains the same and their savings do not increase. But if they hold on to Bitcoin for a long time, that savings can grow over time and thus they can make huge profits. Everyone usually holds bitcoins for fulfilling their dreams or for good earnings and the longer term it is the more profitable it is and that is why it is said to hold bitcoins for the long term.

It starts with the fact that the main rule is to invest only what you afford to lose. And if one has the possibility to keep the investment on, never sell and give it to his kids, why not?
But imho it's not a healthy approach. Imho it's healthier to sell some, now and then, if that becomes meaningful.

Just beware, any approach is a double edged sword. For example I hope that I could get to retire a tad earlier. Just, since I am living by "sell some" rule, plus for me Bitcoin was also earning, not that much of investment, I sold (to buy daily normal stuff) most of the coins I've earned. And this doesn't help much to my goal. It helped Bitcoin economy though.

So you can get to regret you've sold. Or you can regret you never got to benefit your investment. Pick one! 

A long term means when the price of Bitcoin goes above your purchase price, like your said no Bitcoin will sell for life.
Then you will not invest in it, you will be greedy that the price is going up and you will continue to hold pay.
Go buy on dip then hold until you get profit and when you get profit then book the profit and don't hang your investment and trade.
