I currently am in the same state of mind as last January. BTC went up and then straight down. I have learn my lesson, next November / December I'll probably sell a few to take profit.
Plus, I am trying to be realistic here :
-There was an unprecedented bullrun to 20k. Odds are veeeery very thin that, in the life of btc, we don't see another similar bullrun again.
-Goldman Sachs exchange !
-Lightning network (dunno really if this will help btc to recover, but hey, still looks bullish to me)
-Maybe some future nice fork annoucements ?
-No more weak hands since the 'crash'
I am hodling at least until mid summer of this year. And if the price stays down, then that would mean to me that I definitely missed the big opportunity at the 20K USD ATH.
HODL
In this kind of situation, Holding is the best logical options, why would you dump it at the current price? It doesn't make sense at all. If someone is going to dump, it should be done when the price peaks at $19,000 and not when the price is going down. Actually this is the best time for those who don't want to missed the hype train. Accumulated more bitcoins now before you lose that opportunity. We will definitely see another massive bull run, when everything turns on our favor. You mentioned, Lightning Network(LN), yes, this could be the major factor to break from all this slump and take off once again. It's just a question on when it will be implemented. As for the weak hands, they are literally the first to bail out of the market when the price is falling. Just continue to hodl and thank yourself later because you made a good move.
