HODLing Forever: Is My Crypto Just Digital Hoarding?

By BreakdownFab | DecryptLab | 16 Mar 2025


I used to be a crypto HODLer, clutching onto my crypto stash through every market twist and turn. Today, Bitcoin hovers around $82k, Ethereum sits below $1,900... Analysts have thrown around predictions of Bitcoin soaring to $150,000 or even $200,000 by 2025, but I don't care, because I'm not a HODLer anymore...

But the truth is, I never really believed in these wild predictions. I sold most of my crypto around Christmas—not because I lost faith, but because I needed the money. To me, this isn’t just a game of “what if” and “one day.” Crypto was an investment, and when it made sense, I took profits. No regrets.

I can't help but wonder: what's the endgame here? If I never sell, am I just digitally hoarding? Is there a point where holding becomes counterproductive?

Are we at the end of the bull run? I don’t know, and honestly, I don’t care. I took my profits when I needed them. I’m not here for the tech—I’m here for the money. What about you?
