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.
Some people just feel that once someone is an old investor then he can sell but not minding to even know the amount such investor used to investor or how much those investors have been acumulating whether the have actually reach the level of their satisfaction, I come to understand that some person are particularly after selling at any given little opportunity once there's a bit appreciation of Bitcoin price.
Buddy you said it all instead of thinking that they wouldve sold there Bitcoin why not see the approach the took as an encouragement for you to do the same, don't we think that this old takers approach should be an eye opener for those people that always sees selling prematurely as a good option, I think people should rebuild there mindset towards Bitcoin investment to enable them see long-term hodling as the best concept of achieving there goals in it.
Mate I love your last paragraph, honestly this is worth emulating, as for me i don't even care about selling since it isn't my target for now, I will continue to increase my portfolio to arive at my future target which is very far from now.
