Bitcoin Forum

I have seen a lot of posts lately, where people are complaining about the price. I can understand that, but based on my previous experience with Bitcoin, you only need 1 good year to make Bitcoin your most profitable investment of all times.

Let's take 2017 for example. I made more or less 700% profit on the bitcoins I bought in January and sold in December 2017. Now I am not financial expert, but I seldom see any investment opportunity where you get anything more than 30% profit within a year.

So, let's put this into perspective for the people who are constantly complaining about the price. If you were used to low interest rates or even if you were lucky enough to invest in something where you received 30% profit, ONE good year like 2017 will cover the interest and profit you would need for the next 20 years. <700% divided by the max 30%>

On top of this, you still get interest on the fiat money that you deposited into the Bank, after you sold those bitcoins.

Stop complaining and wait for your good year.  8)

  

Lol, as factual as this sound, its still does not take away the "unknown" it was when 2017 went by that you knew it was your year. You would have started with the mind of doubt and even if you are sure of increase there is no way you had that percentage increase in mind. Everyone complaining too wanted every time they invested to be their time but when its not happening rather than wait, they report to complaining. Its normal in all human endeavors.

Yes, but how will the complaining help? I am not pissing on their parade here, I am just saying that 1 year can change the whole game for them. I first bought bitcoins when the price was more or less $400. I had to go through a lot of dumps, before it went to the ATH of $19,000. We had no idea that it would go to $19,000 ..so we just sat back and hoarded until it happened.

In todays world, people are used to instant gratification and Bitcoin is not a McDonald's Drive-thru service investment. You buy, when the price is low and then you hoard. <Long-term>

Strong hands are needed for the big reward at the end. ^smile^

There is no guaranty that you will see another one year with the same kind of profit (you made in 2017). If any such assurance was there then by now all big institutions might have purchased all bitcoins and wait for that good year to come.

All those past history is only for reference so don't invest your money based on that history. It may even do better than 2017 in future but when it happens is the question mark? and people are worried about that because many of the people who are asking questions may be new investors who might have bought coins at peak time.

Different investment periods in different projects, maybe only 1 month, 1 year or less or longer depending on the attractiveness of the projects and the investment needs of the investors that it varies. It is not a 1 year project

I guess last year was the only time you could make that much money. Tell me, what's your profit this year?

Well yeah that's true for the previous year but we cannot always be sure about what's gonna happen this year thus it's completely different senario.

We can be only sure of one thing here that is ' we cannot be sure of anything in crypto world ' it's pretty hard to use the same old equations.

Thats a good judgment over the bitcoin and hw you can profit if you are in luck of having one. I mean no matter what we say about 2017 but that was just luckiest year to the crypto holders but not for those who were the panic sellers. I am sure that people are worried all the time because they think that this year if something wrong happened with the bitcoin then what they will do? What if bitcoin just stayed where it is today and much more thoughts like that always come in the mind of everyone. Its natural according to me and they can stop thinking that way. Just because in 2017 BTC went ATH then it doesnt mean it will do the same this year. As it is already high enough and it will need more investors than previous one to make it work.

A good investment is always the long term and knowing Bitcoin has this kind of identity then I will consider holding my stock even a year as long as I can see my investment grow. Even with 30% of an increase in far more greater than a traditional investment we have with Fiat currency. So for those who are complaining for the drop, why not enjoy it and buy as much as you can afford and wait for it in a year.

You have a point but not everyone are patient enough to wait for a year before calculating their gains in a particular investment. Usually they want to see the result in span of weeks or few months, that's why seeing the price in dips is really a pain for them especially to newbies and weak investors.

Imo its really working, as a long term hodler its way profitable rather than hodling for short term. Yes we cant guarantee if what happened before were the same for the coming years but I prefer to take a risk than doing nothing.

although we know that bitcoin will rise again, but when that rise is not everyone knows. for that hope to remain in give patience to be able to hold up desired price, because panic sell will only make us lose. and certainly we should update the latest news because it affects for psychological investors

Not everyone so organized like you are. Many people have not enough patience to set concrete targets for their investments, that's why they complain, cause they loose possible profit which they could have with correct investment plan. You've done really well and I am trying to do the same, for now my target is 20k$, that time I will withdraw a half of my founds and the profit is going to be huge.

Wow, I really agree with what you think about bitcoin I think there are a lot of people in the forum complaining about the price but I'm sure in a few months the price of bitcoin will increase and can make us have a profit, because my experience and you are almost the same , just wait for the time for the other account you all will definitely benefit in bitcoin, the spirit  ;)

Indeed no one complains today thanks to the positive bitcoin trend that is currently able to restore their confidence in bitcoin price growth by the end of the year, requires patience to make a profit, everyone has his own luck when it's time.

Do you see the situation these few months after people complained the very low decrease. This is one of the answer that waiting for a year is might giving the result like you said. You just being lucky person. You just being people that lucky to get much profit. Last year.

can we predict when that good year comes   if that was so predictable I think I'm billionaire right now investing in btc is taking some guts and it a risk just like making fund for a business and hoping that it will become success  making a profit with it its not that easy as you say

With the development of block chain technology, more and more people will hold BTC!

If you buy BTC now and keep it until the end of this year, the value of BTC could rise to 3-4 times. Many people predict that BTC will rise to more than $25,000 by the end of this year!

Since the fantastic price pumping that occurred in December 2017 has always been a benchmark that every year bitcoin will always be profitable. I do not want to be like that and tend to be more realistic when I see price movements and news emerging. Since its inception, bitcoin every year is always increasing but I think the experience of price movement can not be a benchmark in the future because although we still have to use analysis to do speculation on bitcoin price. Waiting for it, but do not wait until you uncertain things, better learn is to read and analyze the price chart in order to take advantage of the fluctuations that occur to gain profit, although not as much when the pumping occurred at the end of last year.

But isn't thats too difficult to come by. I mean each year bitcoin is having different faces and no one can predict what will happen this year too. These are the some questions that does affect one's mentality to trust bitcoin in full confidence. I mean just look at you, you invested in January month and in the same year bitcoin went up by more than 500 times upwards. But you know then there was good news from the Japan country but this year there seems to me war between the crypto currencies and the regulations. This year it does seem to be impossible year to at such heights.

Well we can never really know if this year is a good one or not. I think most people see 2017 a good year since most of us profited from the bitcoin price of upto $20,000. But in january when you bought, did you really think ypu will get the returns as much as you did. You mean to say leave it all to chance or luck, but really its not all about that. You still need a drive to make you buy and then of course money and then you need patience to keep your coins despite the dive in prices and then hope that someday your coins will increase in value. And if it already increased, you need to stop being greedy and to what point woiluld ve your basis for selling? There are so many things to consider to get the returns you so desire, but who knows when and how?

Bitcoin is still the same as it was back in the days, just far more powerful and secure.

You have to understand that there are different sorts of trust here.

1) trust in Bitcoin as technology, the good option.

2) trust in Bitcoin as in the market, the bad option.

You are obviously referring to option 2), which is something you can't trust on. The market, especially short term speaking, has time on time again shown that it is unreliable, and thus not worthy of any trust. People who put too much faith/trust in the market will very likely end up in a big disappointment, and this directly applies to the majority of the people here.

How do you know that? Last year was basically the same; Japan or no Japan, no one could ever expect or imagine what would happen. Exactly one year ago the price was hovering around the $1200 level, and before the end of that year the price went up all the way to $19,500. Let the market do what it needs to do, and we will then evaluate the situation exactly one year later.

They’re not complaining because they can’t profit within the year,, but because they want to be rich within days or months of investing.. Its called greediness or having impatience attitude,, the consequences of being not knowledgeable of its history and probability..

Don’t forget that this person complaining are newbies or mostly just creating FUDs because they have invest in other coins like bitcointrash.. Let them do this act and we do our best to profit on their ignorance..

no mate, to honest bitcoin price always make new ATH every year and OP is right we must wait for it.  Rather than constantly complaining about the price , and  about your question " what's your profit this year?" by the ways Op is talking about long term holding not day trading, so this is not the right time to ask about it , wait until year end..

From the previous experience, the probability of buying bitcoins for a year is more than 80%, and of course we can't ignore the two - year bear market from 2013. In January this year, many people expected the price of bitcoin to exceed 50K or even 100K. I was cautious about it, but when the investment was risky, I hope that the price can be stabilized above 10K this year.

As you said we need one or more year to make good profits from bitcoin investment because normally the prices are in downtrend at the beginning of year and the prices are skyrocketing at the other end so which means we need atleast one year.But lot of people invested on bitcoin at the wrong time when the prices are already high.

You said and represented most of us who invested more than a year and the experience are just the same. For those investors who bought earlier months just like year and sold at the right time, patience is also another important factor for those who wants to recover and earn well just like others.
Those who are new and recently earned are even calling themselves as crypto experts.  :D

To achieve success, we need patience and focus on what we are after, 1 year is not the right time, but if we can live it with patience and focus time 1 year it will feel short.
Given recently there has been a lot of positive news about cryptocurrency being the bright spot of the year, which we can take advantage of investment.
my advice, stay focused and patient in living what is and is being pursued.

Yes that's just not clear whether there will be such a rapid growth, or the price reached its maximum and the growth will be gradual.

In fact, it is possible to invest in bitcoin only with enough patience. We find that every bit of bitcoin can quickly break through the last place, which is a rule for investors, hoping to recover this time as soon as possible.

The price of bitcoin will always be discussed as long as bitcoin keeps being the leader of them all. The price movement is very different from other coins.

I see a lot of responses from people saying, "yes, but but... you were lucky to invest early" and what not. It is not about luck, but rather about timing and patience. You have to remember that a lot of this negativity was around when I also bought for the first time. I decided to ignore that negativity and to push ahead.

You have two choices now, because you are in the same situation that I was in, back then.

1. Listen to the negativity and sell your coins. <Early exit>
2. Ignore the negativity and buy low and hoard those coins.

It is up to you, make your choice.  ;)

This is a great fact, the people who complained is the people that late enter the market, or the one that is too greedy and enter at peak price, if they can control themselves and research the market situation I believe the lost won't be too much, and I agree that we only need one great moment to make tons of profit, from July to December 2017, it is very easy to make profit, I think most of the people average profit is more than 100%

Since the incredible cost pumping that happened in Nov and Dec 2017 has dependably been a benchmark that consistently bitcoin will dependably be gainful. I would prefer not to be that way and have a tendency to be more sensible when I see value developments and news rising. Since its beginning, bitcoin consistently is continually expanding however I figure the experience of value development can not be a benchmark later on in light of the fact that despite the fact that regardless we need to utilize examination to do hypothesis on bitcoin cost. Sitting tight for it, however don't hold up until you questionable things, better learn is to peruse and investigate the value graph with a specific end goal to exploit the vacillations that jump out at pick up benefit, in spite of the fact that not as much when the pumping happened toward the finish of a year ago.

Complaining won't make any difference. Bitcoin is a long-term investment. Don't panic selling bitcoins because of a short fall, which will only cost you more money.

If you're looking at the price of bitcoin a year later and you think you're doing the right thing, in the past, bitcoin has grown every year.

Much better if we not take the 2017 as example but just a reference.  The trend that year is so much on a massive hpye compare to years prior where there is no much movement of bitcoin price just like in 2015. BUT what matters here, even there is no much price movement, people can have a clear 1 good year in Bitcoin to return profits e.g HOLDING or playing with the market.

Now for newbies to clearly understand, let's erase the trend happened on 2017 for the moment and put ourselves on a silent market for let's say will lasts for year or more. If they decided to enter crypto especially on bitcoin, don't ever expect a profit overnight even that has chances. It will just lead for so much expectations that will lead into a crash because it will ruined their respective strategy as it may might now be follow. They must learned the principle of "long term holding" and don't take cryptos like a regular money that must support their daily needs.


A basic thing indeed that really will depend on how people will managed it. :)

Not all kind of people has a patience like you. You should definitely be rewarded with your profit due to your diligence in the investments. But for some people holding is like a hell due to their lack of experience and knowledge.

yes, off course. I have do it. I get earn from investing bitcoin last year. And now I wait until the price will rise.

Actually people should not complain even if this year will not be as great as 2017 (although it has its chances).
Just people have seen what is possible an everybody is hoping for them now.
Bitcoin is deflationary, Bitcoin does have to grow, but expecting continuous exponential growth is unrealistic.
So people should stop complaining, especially since a growth, any growth, seems to be starting again.

are you guaranteed 1 year bitcoin investment this year will be as profitable as you ..? which makes 700% very tempting, if only I had a lot of capital, I would invest some of my money in bitcoin

You have shared tips and stories about your successful experience with bitcoin investments. I am a beginner and I am learning to understand bitcoin. thank you for your inspirational advice, I will follow your steps.

your first choice good for people that not believe in crypto market, especially bitcoin price in a year. that better for them , then making fud to other people and its very disturbing.

Do at your own risk, we don't need to listen to anyone, we have all minds that can help us to do research and decide on when to buy and when to release it.

They might have the wrong idea when it comes to investing or someome might have told them wrong details.

Too much impatience have been spread. I can really see what their problem are.
They check in minutes and not by weeks, months or years.
Cmon, it is an investment. It should take some time and if you want a faster profit then go gambling. ;D

Hate to say it but that is the truth now even with ICO's.

Yes totally agree with you 1 whole year and a massive income return for Bitcoin. It is much easier to sell  compare to real estate property investment. I believe in Bitcoin so no doubt about it as I invest now I will profit by the end of the year. No matter what happen in the coming months, if it dips. Who cares, what I'm waiting is the end of the year. Where all of us are winner.

You are right it is possible that we can take a good return in a year but how we can say the next year would be like 2017 & it is also possible that 2018 is more better than 2017.

Bubbling will direct effect on the price of Bitcoin so we can aspect Bitcoin popularity increasing every day so it will make Bitcoin on a high value.

One thing you forget here is that, there is no change in the regulation they have implemented in Japan and the emergence of bitcoin future markets as well as the hard fork, all these things took the price to an all time high, but one thing i can tell is that the future market is the reason for the crash in my opinion and hopefully we will see a change in that trend in the future.

I do accept the fact that one good rally could take the market to another all time high, but it does take some time, even if you look at historical price after every rally there is a burn out period which could take up to a year and then the next rally begins and i do expect the same this time too.

I believe that Bitcoin will perform very well in the long run but till then we have to go through some unexpected ups and downs. Things are in the development phase and as a user base, we are not matured enough to deal with fluctuations on a mass level. Doing own research about market and asset class is recommended to anyone who is willing to invest in the crypto market. No one knows what is going to happen down the road and hence investor should take his own responsibility.

After all, as you've said, the bitcoin audience isn't big enough but there are quite some huge investors (big companies, big names). And just with them, bitcoin just might become something  that's the essential part for every bigger investor, may also make it's way into wallstreet as something regular. 

Bitcoin needs to be more stable to attract more players. I need this bitcoin stable this year so that my investments are profitable. My confidence in the bitcoin is huge.

Why just mention BTC and not ETH. I think ETH increased more in terms of percentage compared to Bitcoin. I am sure if you were holding ETH equivalent to BTC, you would have made more money than you made using BTCs.

Almost every coin is a good investment guys, you just need to know when to cash out. One must not panic during the dumps and should take advantage of every pump cycle.

100% agree because I was lucky enough to get in bitcoin early last year when the price is below $1K and profited more than my other investment in just a year. Although last year was different, and no one thought that we can raise and go as high as $19K and if you investment early 2017, but December that time you should be enjoying a good returns. But I don't know when we are going to see another 'good year' because currently we are still down. If bitcoin can replicate what route it did take last year then this theory of yours will hold true.  ;)

this is makes sense that the value of bitcoin has been increase year by year and i think OP said is true that with 1 year hold you will get good profit rather than trade it but unfortunately some of people does not have much patience to hold for 1 year or more even people are more likely to sold their bitcoin if the price suddently increase because they thought don't have to wait for long time

Some people know this, the big problem here is that a lot of people bought it in December when the price was over $17000 and today they are with losses, but they have the option to hold until the price will recover and this they do not think , the desperation to see the price fall and fall to $6000 causes many people to sell because this people believe that the price is falling to 0$.


The problem is when you buy at ATH

Honestly I love reading your writings. It is all about your experienced lesson learned. This is a matter of perseverance despite of needs. Consistent to hold in spite of vital needs that somehow struck the ways of bitcoin holders. I see that it is all about the virtue of patient. While I'm waiting I wait on you bitcoin increase for profit. I think this is what btc holders should do specially those new holders of bitcoin and maybe altcoins too for bitcoin will rise then majority of altcoins will follow.

For me bitcoin is a long term investmest. Well iF you invest it only a year you will only gain a little profit unless its value will contineu increasing after a day passes by.  Well everybody have different perceptions towards bitcoin, and every have different choices and decisionshow long they will invest in bitcoin.

We all know this thing that bitcoin has proved itself to be the best investment in the entire world and that there are so many people who made a huge amount of money and are still busy in making more money just because of trusting bitcoin and doing the things in the right way.

You need to spend more time into it as this will help you in understanding the things in better way and that it will make you more learned and experienced person.

If my memory was right, last December 2017, bitcoin reached it's high peak and  that is a good news in anyone who just waited that long. Around 90% increased in price and I doubt if this year will repeat the history. You are lucky enough 2017 is your year. I can be positive and I will consider this 2018 as my year, too. Lol :D

Everyone really hopes that to happen again thats why most of them still buy and invest on bitcoin. What I see is different if the price will go up again I think government will try to control it in now since, most of the country that accept bitcoin start to impose regulatory on it.

That's why if you want to buy, invest and enter the world of cryptocurrency. Know first the risk. If you can accept the risk then you are welcome in this world.

I agree and this has been proven and tested a lot of times. That maybe one of the reasons why some people in this forum usually advice newbies to buy Bitcoin at a low price or when it is dumping and just hold on to it for a good year and for sure you'll gain profits just by holding the coin for a year. It has greater than putting your money in a savings account in the bank.

You know it is very possible that this year might hit the peak price. Exactly those users who waited patiently and hold bitcoin and sell when it's hitted the ath price were very lucky indeed. Patient actually is a good decisions by that we can acquire of a good gains.

perhaps you have your own strategy but this advice is not just for you its for everyone  'cause sharing knowledge is a good idea to help someone who needs some advices especially weak hands investors which is lack of of knowledge,  so if you don't want some advice then stay away from this thread,  regards

In any case, people who complain all the time about their investments and price of cryptocurrencies here in the forum, feels like that is just their way of letting off some steam. We also can't be sure if a specific year is the best one for us and not all investors/trader keeps track of their loss and gain in cryptocurrencies so we always want to have a better year everytime.

It doesn’t have to be stable for you to profit. It’s still possible for you to profit even if it’s volatile. Also, investors will still come in despite experiencing this volatility. Just last December when the price went up, many ivestors suddenly bought btc just because the price was high, even while the price wasn’t stable back then. Many other factors will allow us to profit and to attract investors other than the stability of the price.

whay a bright point,you made me think then Mate since your certainly perfect when you say that if the trend of 2017 will surely happen,all institutions and investors will buy all the bitcoin now for a huge profit at the end of the year,now im having second thought about my opinions in every matters..

Most people are just too impatient either due to desperate need of funds or they are just raised that way. They wanted to see money pouring in almost every week. This is also the cause of their depression when it did not meet their expectations at the soonest possible time.

Yes, one good year like 2017 can make the Bitcoin a profitable investment. A year like 2017 can definitely give you the profit of next 10 years. But the point is when that year will come or whether it will come or not. This thing is causing suspicion in the minds of investors. But yes, we can do nothing but wait for the prices to rise.

Absolutely yes, I agree with the OP , many are afraid and complain because of the multiple problems that led to a huge fall in the value of Bitcoin and digital currencies in general, but this is something that is common to many people and It is difficult that this issue will disappear from them. Therefore, we must  accept any new situation and  even if it is bad, and must expect everything and deal with any event.

In addition to that, in the era of bitcoin, we must learn that patience is always the key of  unexpected (huge)  profit. But the problem is that the majority of people are impatient and always want a big gain in a short period, they do not always succeed in this field. Moreover, it is true that one good year is  enough for an acceptable profit. but there are always unexpected surprises or events, so it is essential that  you must have a futuristic vision.

Your analysis is spot on but the problem are not the profits that bitcoin can give, the problem is the mentality of those that bought bitcoin in the first place, they thought bitcoin will go up forever, they also thought that it was impossible for them to lose money and now that both of those things have happened they are unable to deal with the situation and so they complain all the time.

Maybe. In my opinion though it depends sometimes it gets more than just 1 year. Bitcoin investment is something we can say exactly it is all just theories and speculations. You need to be patient with it though because it takes a lot of time, just make sure you monitor the rate of bitcoin because any time soon it can go up or it can go down. Just don't give in to selling it just because the price went down big time. Right now the value of bitcoin is $8k let's see the following years on what will be the outcome of this price drop.

Exactly my point too! It is about having the Bitcoin or an altcoin when the bullish run starts, then you make your profit smiling! A lot complain because of impatience and selling off easily and are no where to be found when the market starts appreciating. So, this year's goodness is yet to start and it will take the persistent ones to make the profits as they HODL.

That is true. However, you should not be expecting that kind of profits on a regular basis.

There could be no pumps to the magnitude of last year's bull market rallies for years to come, and it's hard to time your investments. It's definitely not always as simple as investing in a good year and getting the profits, because you could have invested at the previous all time high and barely come out with a profit when you sell at the next bull market.

I do believe, however, that bitcoin is in a long term up trend which means that if you buy in a bear market right now and hold for the long run it is almost guaranteed that you'll make a profit. A good investment just needs to outpace inflation, and with the amount of potential new adopters in the coming years, I can see BTC easily outpacing inflation growth.

BTW, putting your money inside a bank as a long term investment just doesn't work at all. I wouldn't recommend that.

The reasons of this complains was due to people's desire after the price hits $19k to $20k last year. But it became more even worst, because of those traders pulling out of their assets who feared of massive price crash after that speculated bubble price. Certainly a bad thing happened to new investors, and some of them nowadays were just observing the current progress of the price that struggles to pump higher again. One year is a good timeline for that bitcoin investments, so those who patienly wait for the price to strike over I must say everything is worth valueable. No regrets but a blessing in the coming few days or even months this year.

I think a year like 2017 can also happen again but not always it will not become healthy for bitcoins growth, it can grow slowly and steady people are really scared on what is happening in the market when bitcoins correct but an aggressive market like in the 2017 can also happen again because people don't want to get left behind also they want to join the flow in the market is pointing high regardless of the risk they can become fearless but again they must be ready when the market correct as much as it grows it will also bounce low.

I believe there is still really a big chance that history will repeat at the end of this year but it's not really rest assured.Hopefully we will pray for another pump and reach  new heights again but since the market right now is slowly moving upward,we cannot predict exactly when will it happen.

As long as the market continues to recover without any news or fuds encountered before it totally moves, then we can expect another good ride like last year but as you said we can't be sure of anything, but be prepared for it or the reciprocal, as long you know your holding working coins or under development project then its good to wait till their done yo see it boom.

Yes you are right! Why do people complain about the price even though it is still eight times higher like it was one year ago? The answer is simple, they bought at $18,000 in the hope to make a quick money and their business strategy failed! However, considering the already high price, there are surely better investment options in the ICO market where you can get coins very cheap.

You only need one good year for gold to be a good investment.

You only need one good year for stocks to be a good investment.

You only need one good year for real estate to be a good investment.

You only need one good year for comic books to be a good investment.

You only need one good year for fine art to be a good investment.

....Do you get the point of the above?  It's true for anything you invest in, so this is kind of a pointless topic.  And to all the people agreeing with OP and saying that bitcoin is a sure thing--it's not.  Not by a long shot.  There's absolutely no guarantees that bitcoin is going to have another moon-rocket year like we had in 2017.  It could crash to zero for all you know, so be careful with your emotions.

It is true, bitcoin or others cryptocurrency is long term investment. Better keep holding on our good coin because in digital world, transaction around the world will be more easy and bitcoin or other cryptocurrency will needed
Investing on bitcoin or others crypto need more than 3 or 6 months, like bitcoin price rising from $0 to $19k need more than 7 years

As a beginner in bitcoin, I agree with your thoughts.
Looking at last year bitcoin rose at the end of the year.
Earlier this year bitcoin declined, but it is likely that by the end of the year bitcoin will rise in price.
Be patient waiting for the bitcoin price to go up.

This topic says many positive things for all investors and all are true most of the people investing in the last few months that’s why the value grow to unbelievable value and after growing the investors withdraw their bitcoin and taking the profit amount and put it again this is the reason for the value up and down.

for me not enough a year to be a good investment, just give me two or three years enough to make me a good investor here in the bitcoin currency I want to study first about an investment method to get my knowledge very often because I know bitcoin will only wait for us when we want investors.Because for me I do not want to be mistaken why I was banned because of my mistake so that I study It's a long time about investing to be one of my best investors here in bitcoin someday.

Hahaha this is a little harsh one but yes sharing is caring. Especially sharing with those newbies how are just new in this world. Definitely they have got so much different questions that must be answered within time for their better results. They are getting experience, for that, they need guidance from us. So yes, if someone don’t want to share information he mustn’t be here.

Well for getting good returns from your investment depends on your trading skills and your luck than any other things and i think you should not waste your time on finding that one good year, and if you really want to make the year to be good for your investment then better practise yourself and learn the trading skills. If you master any one trading skills either technical analysis or fundamental analysis then every trading year will be good for you and for your investment. Focus how you can manage your trades by your skills and after that, you can expect the year to be good for yourself otherwise i don't think trading is meant for you because you will try to gamble your investments purely on your luck.

It is good to share your good knowledge about bitcoin users because it use to increase their interest and gradually people will start to buy bitcoin and hold for long time so it is good to invest right now and don’t sell, we should increase our own and the other people knowledge by making and reading different posts about bitcoin, my advice for bitcoin users is to buy bitcoin when you see the price is low and then hold for the long time to sell at high price, don’t listen to the fake news about falling price, just get knowledge from bitcoin talk and invest for long time.

So far we have seen only years when bitcoin was in a continuous growth but there is absolutely no guarantee that is going to continue in the future. I think we should expect a period when the price is just going to stay stable and fluctuate only with a few hundreds of dollars because bitcoin would get to millions if every year would be like 2017.

Its a great and encouraging post, but how to know, when that good year would take place...I would just hold my bitcoins, waiting for this opportunity, there is no reason to sell them.

I think your thread will help others mostly some people don't have patient and to some people new in crypto world. I agree stop complaining and wait your lucky year because our luck is on our hands it depends how you manage your money in crypto or in bitcoin.

Well, a good visionary can wait for more than 1 year to have a better investment result for bitcoin. If we treat the behavior of bitcoin like on some stocks in stock market where the projection of a good return could take for about 3 years or more then we could say that you are fearless about its value. In current situation of new comers for bitcoin investors they are more affected about speculation and FUDs that makes them to start complaining about the bad price performance of bitcoin, in reality all stocks behave alike including bitcoins. If you know the pattern then no need to worry of how long can you wait 1 year, 3 years , 5 years or more as long as you know the biggest potentials.

Definitely right,  1 year and above will surely make our profit double or triple because this is already been proven by those who invested Bitcoin long time ago. Well, as of now and counting more and more people are now starting to adopt this technology and this is why more newcomers are affected with some FUDs. But for those who already totally understand the crypto I probably believe that they will hold it for more than1 year.

I think for late adapters, they panic more because they invested late. They invested when prices are  too high that this year 2018 they are just waiting  for bitcoins or other cryptos to return their capital.
2017 is very much a highlight to the market but I think not knowledgeable late adapters can suffer differently.
We can not tell that this year, those who actually invested when prices are about 18-19k will get their capital back by the end of the year. Well, their One year wait will just be not that profitable unlike those who hold alrready.

In a one good year for investing in bitcoin if it is manage wisely then we can say that we can get that good investment result for a period of one year considering that market will always be green and if there is red market is just for a while.

Indeed, many people complaining about bitcoin price drop but they dont realize that bitcoin already rising more than 20x from early 2017. Early 2017 bitcoin price around $1000 and highest at december around $19k. Bitcoin price now $8900 and many people said that bitcoin dead or buble burst.
We should look on bitcoin price history and I am believe we will investing on bitcoin for more profits

Why only a year? Previously, large speculators did not trust bitcoin. But now the situation has changed. They paid attention to bitcoin and can invest a lot of money in it. Using a large number of coins they can manipulate prices for a longer period. What prevents them to keep prices down for 2-3 years. A lot of users during this time will sell their coins because they do not have enough Fiat to survive this period.

Every investment requires patience because without it, you would not make a good profit and you will end up failing. That is why these people need to chill out because they already have chosen to deal with bitcoin because it is a long term investment. Added to that statement, the price has recovered a bit and it is going to grow. It is just a matter of time until everything goes back to normal.

As you stated in your post,  we need one or more year to make good profits from bitcoin investment because normally the prices are in downtrend at the beginning of year and the prices are skyrocketing at the other end so which means we need atleast one year.But lot of people invested on bitcoin at the wrong time when the prices are already high.

I think a year is a fair amount of time to know and get used with bitcoin investments. It took me almost
a year to even understand while trying not to get too excited. Prices play an important role with bitcoins and so
does the timing, timing is impeccable. Investing bitcoins in times of spikes would result in having to purchase
them a bit more expensive than buying BTC on dips, I learned this the hard way. Patience is a very good
ally with cryptocurrency, within a year you will learn, lose and gain a lot in this market. Bitcoins taught me that.

I don't think that a year is simply enough.
That may only be good timing or luck, no one knows but the same span of time may yield either more or less in some other part of a year.
I would rather hold my bitcoin earnings for more than a year if I simply can so I can guarantee that I get most profit from what I invested.

I can't say I agree with what the OP has said, but I do understand the idea behind it, and it makes some sense. I prefer to look to bitcoin potential, and consider as a long term investment. Let's face it, if bitcoin succeeds as a currency, then it will most definitely go to the 6 digit figure. Since it's now at $8k, we are more close to the $0 than to that 6 digit figure, so it looks to me that I have a lot more to gain that I have to lose, because bitcoin is still in the beginning. For me this makes it a worthy investment.

Then you need to consider what are the odds of bitcoin becoming a currency. Giving what you have to earn here, you wouldn't even need it to have a 50% chance of achieving it's goals, to be in profit, so the odds are quite favorable for your potential returns in my opinion.

One good year....and for how long one will have to wait for that!!

i don't think your logic is pretty much right. But the message you want to convey is absolutely right, that there is nothing kept in just pissing off your loss. Instead one must relax and wait for some better price. But I don't think that in this market one full year would turn out to be a good one. There can be a possibility of one good quarter...good enough to cover all the costs and get us good returns.

Agree.. no one can guarantee in this year bitcoin Will repeat the successful like previous year or not, may be this year bitcoin have different scenarious and I am not really expect bitcoin Will reach $ 20k again but I am pretty sure if the price of bitcoin Will reach at least 15k in this year. I think $ 15k is possible to happen in a few months.

Agree. There is no such investment that will give you a large profit in just a short period of time. Bitcoin is a good investment. The technology behind it is the next future and we cannot rush things. A good investment takes more than a year. It may be risky, but I am sure it is worth the risk.

Reaching $15k is very possible to be seen within the next couple of days,and i really think before this year ends,if there will be no media pressures in the corner,btc price may also hit $20k-$25k.This year may be quite different from the previous year,but repeating its history?maybe but not really sure when will it be.

yeah agree with it, bitcoin is very slow in it price gaining, but when it gain it very high and intresting to see it just invest and forget it and open again in long time

Definitely.Good profits come to those who prefer to take risks and waits patiently after.Bitcoin may be so much volatile,we can't predict when it will pump or dump,but when it totally pump,all our hopes in bitcoin will suddenly become alive plus the fact that we will be able to have a good harvest during that time.

Maybe last year was your lucky year just like those people who earn good profit as you are. But every year differs from the possible profit that may ones gain/earn. We cannot expect that this year will be the same as last year's price reaching almost $20k but if it is true that the market repeating its history, then maybe it can but there is no assurance on that. Hope that it will go same as last year's though. Let's just all wait and find out.

Yes, I understand. You’re just saying this because you were among the lucky winners and got yourself up to 700% profit. What if you never achieved up to that or maybe you never got anything at all? I know you will be among those that are ranting and getting angry over Bitcoin and saying all cryptocurrencies are sh*t! So don’t say such, and there is nothing like one year is enough, cause no amount of money is enough. No matter how much you have, you still got to work hard and earn more.

Yes you got a point but waiting doesnt always bears fruits, atleast in this case because no one knows how the end of the year will be!

In my own opinion, you can have a good amount of profit if you will just follow the rules to invest when the price is low and sell your coins when the price increase but still there are a lot of people who are panicking and sell their coins at its lowest price when the market is dumping the cryptocurrency prices.

for btcs to prove that they are good investments, they can be searched or researched over coinmarketcap.com about the past records of btcs

do not worry now at the end of the year we will see big .. bigger than last year you get. so do not be discouraged.

It all depends on how much involved you are into the world of the bitcoin and crypto currencies and the amount of knowledge you do have regarding the things. I don’t think so that 1 year will be enough to make all your dreams come true and that you need to spend more time into it, only then you can hope to make some god profit and that you can think of living a life the way you want to.

panic sell has always been everyone's constraints. the negative news from all those issues plus causes people difficult to hold in the long run. It is indeed truly withholding in the long term is very promising, but it requires patience and mental.

true, bitcoin investment will be more profitable for the long term, because bitcoin prices will surely rise every year, if you invest short-term profit you get just a little

Possible, it maybe true for other, as I recall, investment sometime require a good timing, even an investor made a one year long investment, there is no guarantee that it would be profitable. You hit the good timing for buying and a great timing for selling. 

Exactly, that's what I'm waiting for. A huge growth of Bitcoin and Ethereum till the end of the year. Of course, no one can give a big guarantee that this year will be the same as previous. Anyway, I'm gonna hold my investments expecting huge price increase this year.
 

Exactly sir, thanks a lot for sharing with us your experienced about bitcoin because many people are confusing on what they want to do with their bitcoin most of them are decided to sell because they felt that they have no chance to get profit from bitcoin. but because of your sharing knowledge about technique for investment I think they can do what you have done. And me also. thank!

investment in crypto would be more profitable if for the long term and hold bitcoin for 1 year would be advantageous because bitcoin prices always go up every year and for more than 1 year will also have a more surprising price

You said absolutely right, means if you invest 100$ and get 700$ at the years end, what more can you need? Means if you arent greedy LOL

No i am here to have awsome profits and attractive challenges. Not just become rich and so 1 year isnt enough for me

And why would they do that? People won't stop complaining until bitcoin goes into the bullish trend.
A year? That's a little too much. If you really are an investor,you can make profits even if you're in a bearish trend. Anyone who is complaining about bitcoin's price is just using it as an excuse to avoid their own failure. They knew what they got themselves into and now they play the blame game. Such miserable cunts.

I do not think, everything depends on the quantity of the investor, that is, supply and demand

I dont like btcs or any other cryptoz that much i dont get to have faith over those blind folded currency

yes most people are always complaining, I am not a financial expert but I rarely see profits above 50% a year on stocks, people want to earn profits quickly, like gambling.
so I think if anyone wants to make a quick profit it's better to get him to gamble instead of investing.

Actually you need more than a year to be a good Bitcoin researcher and investor. However, with 1 year, you can learn more about the fundamentals of the Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin markets. You can start investing in ICO projects. But to become a professional, you need to work harder and spend a lot of time to accumulate experience. It is important that you trust Bitcoin.

Do not complain and keep waiting for good luck. As you said we need a year or more to get a good profit from bitcoin investment because usually the price is in downward trend at the beginning of the year and prices skyrocket on the other end so it means we need at least a year. But many people are invested in bitcoin at the wrong time when the price is already high. And chances are people will buy bitcoin for a year more than 80%, and in this January many people expect bitcoin prices to exceed 50K or even 100K. I am careful about that, but when the investment is risky, I hope the price can stabilize above 10K this year.

I do not agree to that statement. One year is a long time. Only six months are enough to become an expert in any company anywhere around the world. Either you do online bounty campaigns, or long term or short term trading, you can really learn the tricks and tactics in a short time to be a good investor and not in a year. Having said that, if you invest in Bitcoin right now, you will be able to invest and earn huge in few months.

People should be a regulator. This is the usual competition where the strongest survive. We just need to stop buying shit coins and the market will quickly filter out it's unnecessary crypto currency.
And I liked the Bittrex rule. If the company doesn't have a work product, they will delist token. Great rule. :) :) :) :) :) :)

It's impossible. Noobs are buying shitcoins. Hedge funds are buying shitcoins. Whales are buying shitcoins. This virus won't deal with itself, but needs the bubble to pop in people's face.

That's quite a flawed term since every coin technically has a 'working' product that it offers. Bittrex has quite a significant amount of shitcoins and tokens listed that are completely unnecessary and not useful at all. The shitty Bitcoin forks BTG and BCash for example, what purpose do they serve other than generating wealth for the greedy bastards behind them? Bittrex has 10 pages worth of garbage listed, which just points out that they aren't looking to maintain quality, but just quantity.

6 years may be enough to make you an "expert" But being an expert won't allow you to affect the market and have consitent successful trades. What op probably meant is that a with the right capital and good decision making, a year of good movement would be enough to make significant profits.

This pointed out there is no instant profit for everyone who came to this place. A process will make a person confident about his investment choice, not only spending money but a thought to stay that will change it in the future.

There is probably no one who will know bitcoin prices in the next quarter, but a trend that continues for many years will always be a benchmark to believe and stay for HODL.
