Some of you are really SODLing

History keeps on repeating itself. A bunch of you who sold recently are just like those who panicked and sold in the past during similar situations. Sure, this year hasn't lived up to expectations when you think about how cycles usually work. But when the prices dip a bit, you freak out and hurry to sell. Did the folks who sold after the Mt. Gox collapse think about the cycle patterns? Nope, they just panicked like you without any thought for the bigger picture. The same thing went down in 2018. Back in December 2017, prices were nearing $20K after starting the year below $1K, and a lot of you started jumping in at the peak because it seemed like we were heading for $100K in no time. But just a couple of months later, you were all selling in a panic. It happened again in 2020. Just take a look at history and you’ll see that those who really made it were the ones who chose to HODL during tough times or even BYU.

Who knows if they invested more than they can invest? What I know is that it is good to have a wise decision and know what you are doing. Know when to buy and know when to sell. Invest the appropriate amount of money that will not make you feel emotional and thinking of selling. It is not good to fear of losing if you know what you are doing. But just that as some people have long term investment plan, some people have short term investment plan while some people are only swing traders. But after long term, is all-time high.

There will always be people panicking like this, even I have repeated it in the past even though I already have confidence in bitcoin. But if you can learn from each cycle, you should be able to strengthen mentally, because those who panic sell already at the last point mentally feel tired, doubtful, and do not think long term. In contrast to people who continue to learn and understand how hodl really works so that they see the correction bitcoin market situation as an opportunity to buy, usually they are fully aware that volatility is part of the journey up and down bitcoin.

Whenever I see people talking about selling or fancy words like exit, I begin to wonder if they realise that there are people who have been holding bitcoin since 2013 and earlier and they are not interested to sell anytime soon. These set of holders only gets richer while those who think they can effectively buy at the bottom and sell at the peak only end up hovering around the same amount of money and some eve getting poorer because when they sell, there will be temptation to gamble with some of those money, party and live large or even investing in shitcoins. It is always better to HOdL.

Quit talking as if you knew what everyone did, Binance sold, Coinbase sold, many whales sold, are they also stupid? No, the dumps were ignited in the back door, because there is no way everyone of them just wake up and decide to start selling their Bitcoin, also looking at the daily chart we already bottomed, weekly bottom is very closed now and two weeks chart even look crazier. Now with weekly chart and two weeks chart bullish at the same time means there is a room for one last price surge from Bitcoin but believe me, those who sold are smarter, now they can buy back in from 120k down to 90k, they figured out and will still make money, the answers are all in the chart unhidden. 🤦 Not all sellers decide to sell and move on.

IMO, an underlying factor that would save us all from this mess is rewriting the whole technical script about Bitcoin and passing out compulsory IQ test for educational purposes "only". It won't work like black magic; It'll just reduce the population of people who don't study the regularity of the cycles. It takes another level of instinctive grit to allow the so little, or so much that you have HODL-ed to stay through these trying times. What really shakes their trust is the unnecessary FUD that spreads around and the fact that naysayers put out these stories to suit their proposal of Bitcoin being a failure in the future.

History always repeats itself. The people who SODL are simply those who don't truly understand Bitcoin and even its history. They're all just FOMO types. I'm sure they'll regret it in a few years. On the other hand, the situation is very favorable for those who have faith and even a good understanding of Bitcoin, where they will buy when Bitcoin drops or even keep compounding their Bitcoin amount. And this event continues to repeat itself. I consider it a phase of elimination. Ultimately we will see the true HODLERS always winning, where there are many stories of people who have profited thanks to their faith in Bitcoin. And those who SODL will only regret it and even be left to be wishful thinking as many of the stories we've heard before.

There is popular Bitcoinist, can't remember his name exactly who says "Bitcoin moves from the weak hands to the strong hands during the bear season" That's what is literally happening and causing those investors to be panic and sold, they are weak hands, while those that leverage on the advantage of dip, looks for more Fiat to purchase more quantity adding to the previous quantity unsold, these are the strong hands. The weak hands are new, the strong hands are old and have known and understood the pattern of Bitcoin movement over time. Are you a strong hand or weak hand?

Well some of them really just want to take profit and DCA time when it dips hard. We have different agendas in crypto, even big institutions are playing carefully because they don't want to lose a massive investment. For long term, of course we shouldn't sell, the only thing we should do is to keep buying dips and accumulate more. Since crypto is a global asset atm, then I really get what's your saying, it's useless at this point to sell, if there are more rooms for BTC to grow. As for me, I just want to be optimistic, crypto is unpredictable, there are charts but securing port is more important. Yep, History is always there telling us what could possibly happen, so let's just chill and enjoy how BTC getting far.

When price drops fear takes over especially in situations like this. It's not easy for some people to withstand the pressure but I think it's l driven by mixed emotions which is different for everyone. I just feel that people who sell don't think about the future they are only thinking about the present. I am surprised that many people still panic and sell after seeing what happened to Bitcoin in the past and seeing how Bitcoin overcome setback. We have different risk tolerance and I understand it can be hard but by now people should have learned. HODL and not SODL

HODLing is like winning the lottery in slow motion. You're practically betting that the hardest money will continue being appreciated in terms of easy money. And you're not betting it against a broker that can get you liquidated; you're not betting it against anybody. You're just quietly stacking what the next generations will use to denominate the even richer world they'll be living in. When I am being asked if it's a good time to sell, my immediate answer is: "Sell FOR WHAT?" What should I exchange the bitcoin with that has a good chance of overperforming it over the long term? The key thing to remember is that eventually, whatever gains you might have, they sometime need to be denominated in some form of money, saved for the long-term.

You’re not wrong about history repeating itself again whereby the market dumps, people freak out and the same movie plays again every cycle but you also need to understand that not everyone has iron hands. Some people see a red candle and their soul leaves their body and because it's a personal thing, we can't really do much about it. That said, my experience of of the market strongly backs my belief that people who keep stacking and don’t lose their minds during these dips usually end up laughing last, the chart also proves it. Still, people are gonna do what people do. Not everyone was built for the HODL life.

Those who panicked I sold their bitcoin were never investing in bitcoin for long term, they were in the bitcoin space for short term profit, so since the Bitcoin market was not going as they expected it to go, they began selling in panick. And those who have been in this forum for quite a reasonable years who also sold in panic really made a wrong decision which they are likely to regret it later. Dip is a tradition in Bitcoin, so for that reason Bitcoin will always dip wether you guys like it or not, and I expected those guys who sold in panic to be acquainted with it by now, instead of selling off their bitcoin holding, because a slite dip that just occurred.

Some barley even know about the cycle. I'm still very surprised to know that majority of today investors thinks that price would continue bullish for that long and the bears won't come in. There's no market, be it stock, currency, or metals that would continue being bullish for that long time. There are ways the market flows. It has to balance some price gaps it left behind because of these bullish rush. Panic will not solve any problems but even add more because you would be selling at a loss. Now imagine someone who sold his coins not at the Ath, but when he saw the huge bearish retracement around the $90k mark thinking price would continue to dip. He literally would be in regrets if price were to return. The market is meant to break your psychology as an investor, but you must be willing to bear the risk so you can win..

They will exists no matter what, people entered into crypto because they heard a random folk saying bitcoin is the future or they saw someone giving numbers like if you invested $1 in 2010 now you made this in 2025. These guys don't even have a slight clue about what is investment they entered in the market June and expected the results starting from July. It's better let them Sold and never come back again.

Perhaps some of these weak investors have the same or different reasons why they could not hold again, so they sold, it could be due to fear, satisfaction of profit they already made or they were just dump investor. I'm not sure but I think all these panic selling works together for the good of Bitcoin ecosystem, if there're people to sell, there are also people to buy and the cycle continues. And not to forget, there are also people to regret selling because of panic, while there will be people to congratulate themselves for buying more when other's were selling.

Those who sold in panic after seeing today's market drop are weak hands who lack confidence in Bitcoin and are simply following the market downturn. They sell out of panic after seeing their assets drop by several percent in a day. These investors likely won't last long in the market because they lack a clear investment strategy and tend to make decisions based on short-term market conditions. They don't see that others have held Bitcoin for much longer than they have, and so far, these strong hands have shown no interest in selling their holdings. This is because they aren't easily swayed by short-term price movements and understand that volatility is part of Bitcoin. They don't need to sell early just because the market drops 10% in a week, since they've already seen Bitcoin rise hundreds of percent since they started holding it.

But if there won't be investors who SODL, then we wouldn't have BTC to buy? So in the long end, those who sold makes the whole process again and again and that makes this market a good ground for investors. Some doesn't have the patience to stay in the game so they sold. But for us who look at the bigger picture, we are the one going to benefit from it as we can scoop their BTC right away, very easy. And it shows that Bitcoin rewards those who has the patience, and not panic investors who pushes the sell button right away.

That's right. I wrote it in a humorous tone, but retailers who sell now tend to do so based on a short-term vision and without a good overall wealth-building plan. If you invest with money that you won't need for at least a long time, you don't sell during these downturns. That's what I was saying, long-term vision. What's stupid is to start refuting things I haven't said. Take a course in reading comprehension and when you pass, come back. This is key. Selling for fiat? If it's to somehow secure your profits, as they would say in Tradfi, what you're exchanging is real money for devalued, centralized junk. Although there are some cases where it might be acceptable, for example if you don't own a house and you use part of your holdings to buy one. Well, in theory, in the hypothetical and extreme case that no one sold, the natural supply would be the 450 bitcoins that are mined every day. There are some mining companies that do not sell or do not sell everything they mine, but in general, miners need to sell to pay for operational expenses.  If 450 BTC a day was the only available to buy there would be a supply shock and therefore the price would skyrocket.

I don't think people sold yet, at least Bitcoin that is. Most people started to buy when it dipped below $100K and now at $90K even more people are buying. Even El Salvador bought 1100 BTC during this dip. The panic will start if it keeps dipping however. You know how 2022 was, every lower price seemed like a good buying opportunity until it kept dipping more and more and eventually the FTX scandal made the bottom. The people who are selling now are most likely over-leveraged and they got huge losses or they got liquidated. Another group of people I can see that are in trouble are those who hold alt-coins, during that Oct 10 crash, many alt coins never recovered and those holders are sitting on huge losses.
