Nobody knows how long you going to hold,  because nobody knows how long it’s going to take before bitcoin price is going to bounce back. When investing in bitcoin, its always recommended to invest in bitcoin for long term, if you plan to hold for long term, then short term price movement isn’t going to disturb you, the only people that are going to be worried are short term investors.

If you are already holding bitcoin, and price keeps on dropping, all what we should do is to keep on accumulating more bitcoin, we should take advantage of the dip happening in the market to buy more bitcoin, am not always disturbed no matter how low bitcoin price goes, because I know it’s going to bounce back even if it’s going to take some weeks, months, or years.

Hey, the next halving is estimated for Apr 12 2028. My model, bitpulse, runs daily and keeps evolving, so this date may shift and scenarios can miss. What's your take on the upcoming cycle?

My decision for holding too long might not suit you if you are asking it. Because for as long as I can hold, I'll hold it. Maybe for a few more cycles to happen then I'll finally decide a big amount to be sold, as if I've got huge holdings LOL. But the real thing is on you on how's your gameplan of holding. If you ever decide to hold as much as you can and for as long as you can, that's not a big matter because you know how patient you are and how long you can tolerate the massive dump that we might experience before it finally recovers and moves to the next cycle.

Patience is key.  Try holding for 16+ years. lol.  Seriously, there will be ups and downs, but the long term trend is way up.

I believe BTC will reach a new ATH but what i can't say is when it's going to reach a new ATH,  bitcoin has getting to different ATH so i don't believe that the one of 2025 will be the last ATH, just as no body expected this current increase that's also how we can't predict when BTC will get to a new ATH.

Importantly investors should also hold on there bitcoin even when bitcoin is at it worst price and shouldn't panic to sell because when you don't expect the price is when the price will skyrocket to a higher price, to know the value of bitcoin is buy and hold it for a long term and never be distracted by what they speculate about the price of bitcoin, i believe that anyone who buys BTC with money they can afford to loss can actually hold for long term because they won't panic and sell when the BTC price is facing a massive decline in price.

Seriously, OP is worried about something else, I am sure of that, because when you are worried about one thing, you tend to make problems out of things that aren't problems. This is a famous illness these days. People are stressed, and the funny thing is they don't even realize they are.

Self awareness, especially about health, is very important.

But if he genuinely worried about the market at a time like this, then he is worrying about the wrong thing. Although September is going to be bearish, history could change.

We should never sell. I have also been holding some, not much, but you are definitely way too long in the holding game.

If you are an investor, then you shouldn't be asking this kind of questions on how long  should we hold. This question is for traders, because they focus on selling on shortterm.  As an investor your goal should be holding Bitcoin for a long time, maybe 8 years and above, therefore stop tweaking for Bitcoin price movements in the short term. Even as an investor it's a joy to watch Bitcoin performing well in the markets, especially when it broke a new ATH last year. But if you understand Bitcoin enough, you will notice that after a long bullish momentum, it will dip again, as a result of macro factors, or big institutes selling of their holdings. You have to be patient Tbh, what you should focus is accumulating more Bitcoin if you have their capability to do that.  Your goal should be trying to hold to your targeted time frame or period.

To me, the market is not actually dropping below the expected bottom price, last year when price was still high at $120k, I said in one of my comments that price will dip dip to $50k during the bear season but some persons didn't agree with me, but instead said that price won't go below $70k, so if you were among those people that didn't believe that price would have gone below $70k, then you are wrong, it's actually normal to see that price dipped to $50k+ and I believe that's the last bottom, we are going to see a new all time high in next bull season, so the answer to your question is that you have to hold till next bull season.

This bear season is an opportunity to buy more Bitcoin, as for those people that bought last year when the price was above $100k, they just have to hold tight until the next bull market, that's why you have to cease the opportunity to buy now instead of waiting until the price gets to $250k in the next bull season.

Honestly, I think that’s the hardest part of being in this market. Everyone says they’re a long-term holder until the chart starts bleeding 😂

At some point you have to ask yourself what your original thesis was. If that hasn’t changed, volatility shouldn’t be the thing that makes you panic.
