I do think it can work well for people who believe in Bitcoin long term. It reduces unnecessary trading.

Real challenge is staying patient when the market drops. That’s where most holders are really tested.

Holding is not as difficult as you may think. Bitcoin might be more difficult for people to hold because they do not believe in its future. What makes you think that those who understand the value of Bitcoin will be worried about the market? It’s only those with negative thinking will be worried when the market go down and start checking their portfolio. And seeing the value of your investment drops from where you bought it, some individuals will be worried whether the market will recover from the dip.

In addition, holding can also be difficult for investors who buy with the money they need for other expenses. They will react or feel bad if the market doesn’t go the way they expected.


Every investment involves a risk, but with Bitcoin, it has less risk than other coins. We can all agree with the majority of people who choose to invest in bitcoin today. But we should not use that statement when talking to newbies who are willing to invest in Bitcoin. some people may invest wrongly because they were told that Bitcoin has zero chance of losing money.

Hodling is only simple to those that understand how to go about it, if it is that simple, why do some people consider selling off when the have not hodl for long,  perhaps ignorance right, although I won't say that I do not understand what you are driving at due to the explanation you gave while comparing hodling with trading, in that aspect you are right but there are still more to hodling, people don't just hodl, Real hodlers has their own challenges but what keeps them going is patience and preparation before hodling, a hodler that do not have emergency funds or not investing with their discreationary income might have a problem along the way, I don't think technical knowledge is even required in hodling, i think hodling is more of maintaining good financial management, not allowing the volatile nature of the market to weigh you down, understanding that dip is more blessing than otherwise, then scaling through while hodling becomes very easy.

Bitcoin Holding is the easier way for investors to achieve their goal in the long term. We all need profit when it’s all about Bitcoin, because anyone that is holding Bitcoin is just because of the benefits he will get with it. That’s why he is keeping it for a long period of time. When you’re holding Bitcoin, I don’t see any reason for you to lose, except you sell when the price is not stable. And that is the reason why they are telling all investors to always keep their coins, so that any challenges they will face, they can probably handle it, since they are keeping the bitcoin till they reach their targets.
