The first thing to pay attention to when holding bitcoins is to prepare yourself mentally. BUY DIP AND HOLD by properly researching when bitcoin price is going down and when the price is going up.

In fact, we are still in the early stages of discussing Bitcoin, which makes us skeptical about Holding Bitcoin. We need to gain step by step knowledge about Bitcoin and long term BTC investing strategy.
