The greatest philosophy of a good HODLer is to know the Asset is way more important than the money. The asset is a representation of your class or wealth level in a system. You are considered rich by the money you have in the bank but aren’t wealthy until you own assets that run a civilization. Examples of these are Oil, Water, Banking, Commerce etc. As a HODLer it is best to look for protocols that are made to replace already effective systems in our current society. Scarab Investment Team researches tokens of this nature to HODL. There are three major categories of coins utility, commodity, or security but the most important thing is to find the industry leaders. After deciding the coins you want to invest in based on your research, it is time to check some the price predictions of the coin in five years. Five years seems like a reasonable time to truly see the crypto space go from mainly speculative into actual usage on a major scale. After assessing a few reasonable predictions and taking an average, it is time to decide how much you are looking to make. Sometimes making a call on the amount of tokens you should obtain can be difficult due to your personal budget. We use a sliding scale of investment based on the price. ​ If a protocol is between .001 to .01 the goal is to at least obtain 100,000. Most coins that aren’t in this range wouldn’t be a protocol we would choose to HODL unless we felt strong about it. PLA is an example of a token SIT HODLs that is below that price range. If the coin is between .01 to .10 then we strive for 10,000. Anything above .10 but less than 1.00 the goal is still 10,000 however if it’s above .50 we don’t mind settling for 5,000. ​ The next step is to stay focused and buy what you have set as a goal. There will be many distractions in the market. Pump and dumps will continuously pop up to lure your liquidity over to them instead of buying the coins chosen for the long term. Its okay to set aside funds for the hype but make sure you are taking the profits and investing it into your major bags. ​ The biggest principle to understand about our HODL strategy, is that we are always researching to find safe vehicles to leverage our assets to make profits. The plan is to honestly never sell the coins we obtain. The world is a system and the inventions that are used to run it will always evolve with the times. The idea is to invest in the systems that control that current economy, in order to produce currency.
