Nothing planed. No intentions at this time.  At this time I have shares of FBTC ETF, but at some later time I may take BTC but I'm not ready for that now...

I don't think the intent would be to hold forever. There's a parable about a Mexican fisherman that showcases us money isn't everything, sometimes a simpler life is the way. After all, what is the $ for? For things. Or to spend on people, perhaps. But it won't go with you anytime soon, or later for that fact.

Take a look at the recent 80k BTC sell. People are clowning this guy for selling, and for what? What else are you going to do except live a life worth living. It doesn't make sense to me to HODL forever. Take what you need to live a happy, blessed life. Generational wealth, WAGMI all copes. Don't miss your life

HODL simply means you should never run out of Bitcoin. In other words, you should always have Bitcoin as long as you live, that is what the term means. If you have accumulated a decent amount of Bitcoin now, in the future you can sell some depending on your needs and age or physical strenght, but never sell off all your Bitcoin for whatever reasons.

As previously discussed, always remember the purpose of investments in general. Ask yourself- why do you invest money in the first place?

The answer seems obvious: we save money in order to get the most returns to our initial capital. So at the end, investments are basically money that accrues interest overtime. Now following your question OP, do you recommend to HODL BTC forever? If you do that, then you will NEVER realize and profit from your investments.

In conclusion, treat your investments as part of your overall capital. The reason on why we invest is because we need money at the end. Basically, you HODL until you see a gain on your part (and that gain will depend on the market and your decision to sell) or if you need to sell it for emergency purposes.

With very good technology behind, magical design and its historic parabolic growth so far, Bitcoin is a very good investment asset for anyone who afford to spend money for it, and are able to hold it for several years or two to three market cycles. Millionaires or billionaires can be Bitcoin made if they invested in Bitcoin very early years and held it long time enough.

It does not mean there is no longer chance for newbies to find better wealth and life with Bitcoin. Chance is here as Bitcoin adoption growth, value and price growth won't stop in 2025, so if you can join now, it is still early for them to join the party and enjoy profit in coming years.

I am afraid that many won't be able to follow this tip. Because of their needs, it's possible that many of them will start to sell all of that they have when the price of Bitcoin increases more. In my personal experience, I have no choice but to sell during the past bull run because of my need. I somehow regret but I have no choice and that's how Bitcoin saved me from particular situations and in the future, it will be understandable if some have to do the same thing.

Clearly, selling off all one's Bitcoin will be needed by some people, but if possible it would be smart (if possible) to only sell off what is absolutely needed and retain what remains.

Even better (if one has the wherewithal) is to use other assets that may not have the high ROI that Bitcoin does and HODL the Bitcoin...  

If you Hold forever then you are to going to get value for that which you are holding , you are just stocking it at a place and not doing anything with it or having no plans for it or to use it for anything which makes it of much less or even no value, Holding is foe value appreciation for the future, whereby you are going to end up with an ROI with which you are going to achieve other things with in the future.

The concept behind the Holding is a situation where by you buy at a certain price and then you allow the value to increase to a certain price where you are going to then withdraw all of it including the capital and do whatever you wish with it or you are going to get a fragment of it which may be equivalent to the added value you have gotten on the asset and then use for whatever it is you want to use it for, more like just taking profit and leaving the capital and allowing the capital to grow again to another value where you make some profit from it and then you take again if you want, more like an investment and not just Holding unto it for an unaccountable number of tie without doing anything with it or having plans for which you want to use it for, just hold on till the value appreciates enough for you to use.

While I’ve come to realized that no one would want to hodl their coins forever, but for those who want to pass their bitcoin legacy to their children and grandchildren, maybe they can continue hodling their coins forever.

But for me, I’m hodling for my retirement, I’m hodling to ensure financial stability and security when my old age comes, which means my hodling has its own expiration, I’m hodling for my own purpose. And I think majority who buy and hold bitcoin have the same dreams and goals as mine.
