A total of 22,635 votes were gathered for this survey.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Most Bitcoin Investors Would Hodl Regardless of the Price<\/h2>\n<p>Twitter user Plan B, known for his stock-to-flow price prediction model, has conducted a Twitter poll to establish when bitcoin investors will sell their <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a> if the price does not increase. The poll concluded on Saturday and 22,635 votes were counted in total.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You are probably bullish on bitcoin but what if <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a> price does not increase sharply next years? When will you sell?&rdquo; Plan B asked his followers. Among respondents, 72.1% answered that they will hold onto their <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a> regardless of the price, riding it to $0 if needs be.<\/p>\n<p>The next most popular option was to sell bitcoin when the price falls below $6,000, which 16.2% of respondents chose. Meanwhile, only 5.9% chose to sell when the price falls below $3,000 and 5.8% chose to sell when the price drops below $1,000.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"72% of Investors Will Hold Bitcoin Even if Price Falls to 0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/plan-b-survey-result.jpg\" alt=\"72% of Investors Will Hold Bitcoin Even if Price Falls to 0\" width=\"1200\" height=\"759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/plan-b-survey-result.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/plan-b-survey-result-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/plan-b-survey-result-1024x648.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/plan-b-survey-result-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/plan-b-survey-result-696x440.jpg 696w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/plan-b-survey-result-1068x676.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/plan-b-survey-result-664x420.jpg 664w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Super proud that 72% of my followers are hard core hodlers,&rdquo; Plan B commented on the outcome. &ldquo;Bitcoin goes to $million+ or to &lsquo;zero&rsquo; and we ride it all the way. Vision, conviction and patience is the name of the game. Even if there is only 1% chance of $1 million <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a>, it is worth it (the option argument).&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Some people volunteered their reasons for hodling <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a> even if the price spirals downward. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m bullish on bitcoin. But even if it goes close to zero, I&rsquo;ll still hodl or buy more, it&rsquo;s a non correlated asset (hedge) for all my other investments\/capital,&rdquo; one Twitter user wrote. Another noted that when bitcoin becomes &ldquo;the defacto global reserve there is no reason to sell, only to use.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Some argued that it is &ldquo;highly unlikely&rdquo; that the price of bitcoin would not increase while others said they will &ldquo;buy the dip,&rdquo; scooping up cheap <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a> if the price tanks. At the time of this writing, the price of bitcoin stands at $12,251.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Last month, gold bug Peter Schiff conducted a similar survey. &ldquo;How much longer does the price of bitcoin have to say below $10,000 before you will throw in the towel and sell?&rdquo; Schiff asked his followers. Out of 28,168 total votes, 57.5% of respondents chose &ldquo;I&rsquo;m taking it to my grave.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Investors&rsquo; faith in the price of bitcoin has been growing as evidenced by two other polls Plan B conducted, one in July and the other in August. In both polls, Plan B asked his followers what they thought the price of bitcoin will reach before December this year. In July, 43% of respondents believed that the price would stay below $55,000, but in August only 30% believe this to be the case. A significantly larger portion of respondents in the August poll believe that the price of bitcoin will reach $288,000.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a growing number of institutional investors are buying bitcoin. Nasdaq-listed company Microstrategy announced last week that it had <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/billion-dollar-public-company-microstrategy-250-million-btc-bitcoin-superior-to-cash\/\">purchased<\/a> $250 million worth of bitcoins. Recently, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) clarified that national banks and federal savings associations are <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/us-regulator-banks-cryptocurrency-custody\/\">authorized<\/a> to provide custody services to customers.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How far does the price of bitcoin have to fall before you sell?
