#HODLTradingStrategy

HODL Strategy

1. Pick assets with actual long-term survival odds

Not everything deserves to be HODLed.

Stick to:

• BTC (store of value, ETF-backed now)

• ETH (smart contract dominance, Layer-2 scaling, ETH ETFs expected)

• Selected L1 & L2 leaders (e.g. SOL, AVAX if risk-tolerant)

• Top stablecoins (USDC, USDT — but not for profit, just for dry powder)

Avoid long-term HODLing meme coins, random new DeFi, or trend-based tokens unless you’re ready to lose them.

2. Use price tiers to build positions

Instead of buying one lump sum:

• Divide your capital into 4–6 parts

• Buy at strategic dip levels (e.g. BTC at $110K, $100K, $90K if it drops)

• This lowers your average entry price.

3. Secure your assets properly

• Cold wallets for 70–80% of holdings (Ledger, Trezor, Keystone)

• Avoid leaving long-term HODL on exchanges

• Use multi-sig wallets or trusted decentralized custody if possible

4. Passive income while holding

Don’t just let coins sit idle:

• Stake ETH or SOL via decentralized staking (Lido, RocketPool, Marinade)

• BTC → consider using BTC yield vaults or Binance Earn flexible savings (low risk)

• Avoid locking funds in high-risk DeFi without insurance

5. Set long-term goals and review quarterly

Not daily. Not even weekly.

• Review every 3–4 months

• Check project fundamentals, market cycles, macro risks (like rate hikes, wars, regulation)

6. Accept that 60–80% dips happen

Even in bullish cycles. BTC and ETH have dropped 70–85% in every major bear before new ATHs.

If you panic-sell every -30%, you’ll lose.
