#HODLTradingStrategy

Keeping your crypto for the long haul (HODLing) can work, but you need a plan, not just hope. Here's my take:

## What Crypto Should You HODL?

**Does it Do Something Real?**: Find cryptos that fix actual problems and are getting used more and more. Think of Bitcoin as a digital gold, Ethereum as a platform for apps, or cryptos that power real finance apps with lots of users.

**Does it Get Better with More People?**: Cryptos become worth more as more people use them. Does the project get better as it grows – like if more developers build on it, or more people use it, creating demand?

**Is There a Limited Amount?**: Cryptos that burn coins or have a set limit can help keep the price up long term, but only if people actually want them.

## My HODL Plan

**Main Stuff vs. Risky Bets**: I'd put 60-70% in well-known cryptos (Bitcoin, Ethereum) as the base, then put smaller amounts in newer cryptos that could pay off big but are riskier.

**How Long to Hold**: Have different plans for different coins. Some I'll hold for 4+ years, through ups and downs, others just for 1-2 years to catch a specific wave.

**Only Hold What You Get**: Only HODL what you really understand. If you can’t say why a crypto will be worth more in 3 years, don't HODL it.

## When to Cash Out

**Sell a Little at a Time**: Instead of selling everything at once, sell some as it goes up – like 25% when it triples, 25% when it quintuples, and keep the rest in case it goes even higher.

**Know the Market's Rhythm**: Crypto tends to move in 4-year cycles. Cashing out a bit when things are crazy high and buying back in when things are down can make you more money.

**When it Matters to You**: Cash out when it makes a real difference in your life – like paying off debt, buying a house, or putting money into other things.

The big thing is to have a plan before you get too excited or scared.
