Time matters.

If you are 68 holding for ten years is not appealing,

If you are 38 hodl for 10 years is pretty much a must.

Under 38 hodl longer.

the gray areas are 38 to 68.


To be very honest, I never actually considered that there are people in BitcoinTalk who might actually be 60 years old or older. I have always made the, obviously wrong, presumption that we, or most of us, are under 40 years old. 👀

Pardon me sers, if I offended the people who are actually older than 60 and have posted their viewpoints about selling their Bitcoin. I have always preached HODL, but for our older community members, they should probably enjoy the gains of their time of HODL. You deserve it.

Well, now you know! Most of the OG's are above 40 years old. Likely around the age of 50 - 65 years old. They were the people who had earlier adopted Bitcoin and invested in it. I think most of them contributed some amount of Bitcoin to the community when it merely cost $1. Have you seen this thread before; Legendary profiles of bitcointalk.?

Your assumptions make a lot of sense. If we really judge based on how old Bitcoin is. Roughly Bitcoin is 17 years old, added with an early adopted here in the forum which i at that time might be 30 years of age or less. That would be 50+ almost 60.

See how time flies
So these people must have been quite good at it if they had profited from it.  The idea of these people was good enough that if it is alive today, they would have got the most profit.  I just saw this thread and am hearing about them now.  But I have only talked about their thinking and mentioned their profit.  If he trade today, we know what Bitcoin is.

Bitcoin may be quite old but its quality is strong enough to last for many years to be trusted by everyone.  Be that as it may, they are working on it and the growth of Bitcoin is beneficial for us and will continue to be for many years to come and I see a lot of influence from Bitcoin.
If they're alive till now don't you think that it would still be better for them to keep hodli instead of selling as you said. Why is it that when we see an old investor who bought bitcoin very cheap, what comes to our mind is if he sells today, he will be fine. I feel selling shouldn't be the main focus but to recommend them for hodling this long and emulate their footsteps, because it shows that you can also hodli for a very long time like these OGs did.

I want to emulate them in hodli for a very long time and building my bitcoin investment, so that I can see at what level my bitcoin portfolio wil have gotten to when I am old and how much bitcoin will be by then.
Following in the footsteps of long-term holders new investors can continue their strategy and regular deposit which can be a means of best financial security for their later years or time of retirement. It is recommended to choose your youth age to do this and continue to accumulate Bitcoin regularly. If you can build a decent-sized holding by accumulating Bitcoin during the prime of your life you can be rewarded for your time well spent. Some investors either out of greed or emotion decide to sell their valuable Bitcoins which can dull their feelings at the next high price. Because it is clear that Bitcoin has the potential to increase in value over time holding is the best decision to make.
