Hi Forum
I would like to know what real value you think HODLing adds. What is the point of just holding bitcoin till moon and lambo ? This is cryptocurrency, why aren't we using this as currency? If we all just hold then this whole thing takes on a completely different business model, we lose all real value that it has as currency and it just becomes a full on speculative bubble.

Bitcoin and other currencies have no value if nobody uses them. So I would like to encourage everyone to spend and replace instead of just blindly holding. We won't see merchant adoption skyrocketing if nobody buys stuff with bitcoin. And yes I know it can go up in value, but why not just spend your BTC and EFT some fiat over to your local exchange and replace the BTC you spent ?
If any businesses accept BTC or other currencies it is our duty to support them extra for it and use cryptocurrency.

Your question is valid but your thinking is not close to the thinking of the ones who have probably made thousands if not million of $$$ in their own currencies just by holding it. It is really not a smart decision to sell your Bitcoins with huge losses. The ones who bought it at $19000 will face more than 100% loss by selling their coins at $7000 or below that. It really gives a funny but foolish type of image to them because many of them might have invested more than millions. And some of them already did attempts of suicide just because of facing huge drops in the price of Bitcoins and the collapse of crypto-world in general.

So the best decision at current time is to hold the coins and wait for the right time to sell them. Bitcoin has some great future predictions so if any of those predictions becomes reality then those people might get rich within 2 years.

I can see what point you are trying to make but seriously you need to work on your mathematics and understanding of percentages, it will surely help you with your investments in the future. 19,000 down to 7,000 is about a 63% loss a 100% loss would be $19,000 to $0
