Bitcoin Forum

My joy of buying bitcoin at the right time when bought my first Bitcoin has been excessive in this period that Bitcoin price have risen continuously.

My story
As a newbie and first-time investor and holder of Bitcoin, I made a decision that has led me to a stage of financial satisfaction within a short time, just by risking the right amount and at the right time.
I bought Bitcoin when the price was low at about $22,000 price and i went all in with the whole capital at my disposal,  as a newbie i was sceptical,  but also i was ready to take that risk.
Luckily for me, Bitcoin is now at 52 thousand dollars, and i feel so excited to see the number of profits that i have accumulated within the shortest time which no other investment can give such profits in such a time frame, so I am glad.

Can you post your Bitcoin address?

I can also say I bought Bitcoin when the price was $1 and hold it until now, I bought Bitcoin when the price was $3K during Covid-19 and sold at $69K etc.

Since you're a very highly smartest person who's know when to own Bitcoin, when and how much the bottom in this year?

Consider yourself lucky. But you can't always count on luck, because luck is a fickle thing and you can't make a lot of money on luck alone. After all, someday you may be unlucky and lose all your money. In investments, luck should be in the last place.

One suggestion I give you is to study market cycles more, so that when the market changes trend you don't lose all your money...

Use the forum to seek knowledge because the best way to deal with falls is to know exactly what you are doing...

When the market is rising, most people think they are financial market geniuses... But what separates the boys from the men has a name: Bear Market

You must be happy at the profit on your bitcoin investment, bit I will tell you that your have not hodli for up to a circle. If you can hodli your bitcoin in the bear market that is when you are a good hodler. I hope that you don't have plans to sell those bitcoin in the bull market, and if you have plans to to that, then you should have a price target that when bitcoin reaches, you can sell and take profit. This is because bitcoin price will not be bullish alone, the bear market will come after the bull run.

Its within ops privacy right to either post his bitcoin address to support his or her claims, to me this is not needed and there are many other ways the newbie can prove to us that what he said is actually trues.


But as someone who has also taken such steps in the past and hasn't been around for some time i thing I can say that the ops are very lucky because, from the general understanding of the bitcoin market situations, he/she may not be the only one who has been in high profits because of recent market price where Bitcoin touched almost 52700 be for it a gradual price decline.

If you are saying the truth then you should be happy that your investment has given you good returns.
Although I am not sure how much bitcoin you had bought but it's good to know that you have got 2x returns.
I hope you hold it well and you have an exit strategy planned so that you can enjoy your profits.

If you don't believe the OP just assume it's a made-up story. Because someone will not show the bitcoin address there are privacy reasons for me it is quite reasonable.

You can say that it is quite profitable to buy bitcoin at $22,000 if it is true and now it is around $52,000 many people buy in the lowest area before but make sure when you will withdraw the profit, if you wait longer after the halving then it will be better and it could be that the price of bitcoin soars.

Having that price range makes it a great profit with a whopping (130.35%) assuming it is with the spot market. You could've made a lot more if you were to use it in futures but it's really too risky TBH. It's quite hard to trade that if you have less experience but it can happen.

It only takes courage, enthusiasm, and patience to hold bitcoin for the long term and earn more than 100% of your initial investment. The market movements, which include both upside and downside movements as the market remains volatile, are not for the weak or emotional investors, as they will discourage you and cause you to exit the market prematurely. I just hope you can hold for a longer period of time because bitcoin has not yet reached the expected all-time high that will be following the halving. Given your level of experience in the cryptocurrency market, you can implement some risk management strategies that will benefit you.

Congratulations, you have already earned almost 1.5x your investment. Hope you keep going like this, and hold Bitcoin for a long time. The longer you hold it, the more returns it will give you. Bitcoin price is now 52k and it won't stop here it will go many more, expect the price of bitcoin to cross around 60k in the next bull market. And it will go a long way this year itself so if you hold long term you can reap huge gains.  So just Hold.

You were lucky this time, but that does not mean you'll experience the same luck another time, don't buy BTC with all of the money at your disposal. You would struggle to store it for the long term if you do that as you may be forced to sell when you don't want to and maybe at a loss, because you need the money to pay some of your bills urgently.

It is worth mentioning that you should only buy BTC with an amount you can afford to lose, dca strategy helps you control how much BTC you buy, you can use it and buy small portions of BTC regularly, and before you know it you have a lot of coins.

There's something I don't seems to understand here, are you trying to say that no one have experienced such except you?
Yeah I am very excited to hear that you hold your bitcoin from the time but Bitcoin was 22k and now it's 51k however you are very lucky to be a part of Bitcoiners as we are all profiting for holding this long.
Everyone who's holding Bitcoin for long term knows what they are holding. When you are holding Bitcoin you should know that there are times a lot of temptations will come but if you are a strong holder that knows what Bitcoin is capable of you would know that the problem which you wants to solve are little when you profits from Bitcoin.
People who bought Bitcoin at such range are very lucky to be in touch with it.
 

Like what? I'd really like to know how he can prove to us that he owns bitcoin if not by signing a message with his address.
I like to observe the FOMO, just as I like to watch the market go into despair and you can smell the euphoria through the monitor.
It's really interesting that people who hold bitcoin now are happy, but they had the same bitcoin 6 months ago and were sad, like it was some king of burden. Watch how this turns into a level 2 euphoria, when it goes up again and some of them who sold go into buyback mode at $60k ;)

Congratulations to you.

That's an early win that you can enjoy. If you are comfortable selling now and taking your profit, you're free to do it and then wait for the pullback and buy from there.

But if not, you can keep on holding on since you're in profit, there is no need to pressure yourself of when you're going to take it. Let it flow in the dance of the market.

But we cannot discredit what he have done whether it's just luck or not, having the courage to do so should still be more emphasized in this instance. Let us just hope that he won't be too confident of the profit and to be careless of the possibilities with regards to the next market price behavior of Bitcoin and this market in general.

And as per the right time to invest, there's no such thing to be honest. Just invest when you're ready and once you are aware of how things work in this industry. If you are one of those who are too optimistic of the market price direction, then better yet to pull out your investment or to not invest at all. The market is way too unpredictable 'coz the market prices despite of the increase recently, could still be manipulated and result to a sudden decline or price correction. Be prepared and know how to respond; just if incase it take place any day, know to yourself if you can afford continuing the hold or to take profit for now and wait for another opportunity to enter and maximize the profit.

I’m glad to hear that. The way you trusted bitcoin and risk your funds despite of the possibility that you will only lose them in return. That was brave enough. Now, luck has brought you to where you are now. Instead of panicking and selling earlier when there is price correction, but you chose to hold even longer and show more patience in your investment. I guess patience and understanding come with a great reward in the future.

Not all beginners in bitcoin are able to do that. Your faith in bitcoin was certainly deep, and that’s definitely a good thing in you since you are now eligible to reap massive profits. But hold until bull run comes, that’s definitely the perfect time to sell and be in huge profits.

Yeah, you can say that everyone is very lucky here as we could have been investing as well since the lowest low of $15,500, two years ago due to the collapsed of FTX. So congrats to you, but this is just the beginning. Don't be excited, just stay calm and if you still have some money, then you can continue to accumulate and stack sats.

I do hope that you didn't sell, not a financial advise. But we are just barely scratching the surface, we really don't know how big this bull run is. Speculation is that it could hit 6 digits in the future. So if you can control your emotions not to sell the better and wait till we hit new all time high, just saying.

Don't be too complacent friends, indeed when buying at low prices after a bearish run a few years ago until the beginning of the year this month there were indeed a lot of blessings when we bought bitcoin and started to continue doing DCA but in the end when the word profit is short actually don't be too happy with this because even though it's very good for now but you only get the sweet thing now and have never gone through a phase where you have to fight in the turmoil of the mind when bitcoin has decreased and as much as possible your brain stays awake so as not to sell it.

Indeed, buying bitcoin at a low price and selling it at a high price is still the ideal form until now but if in the end you only focus on the profits that you say are short like today without learning more I will make sure it is difficult for you to resist the temptation that occurs in the end.

@OP this is just the beginning of the Bitcoin surge, if you keep on holding for another year, you might not only get 100% profit.  Many analysts think that the incoming Bitcoin rally will be more rewarding.  Bitcoin might probably reach more than $100k  in its new ATH so hold your horses and don't sell your Bitcoin yet, you might get more profit if you wait for another year.

But you should always be vigilant and updated on the market price since the Bitcoin market is still considered unpredictable, the unknown might happen.  Set your target sell and sell when the market hits it.  Remember you cannot say it is a profit until you cash out.

Congratulations on your investment, but that doesn't actually mean you know when to buy or enter the market.
Most of us could say that we have a similar story or achievement, the market or Bitcoin has so many entry point before it pump up and most of us could say that we boight at the right time since it started to pump up.

I am not sure how much Bitcoin you have bought. But if the story is true, I have to say you are a lucky investor. You gained more than double if your claim is true. However, without taking risks, anyone can't gain in cryptocurrencies. Because Bitcoin is a highly volatile cryptocurrency, we have to take advantage of that. It's good to see you haven't sold yet, and due to enough patience, you earned a decent amount. I am curious to know how much you bought and where you are holding your bitcoin. I hope it is not in centralised exchanges or in a custodial wallet. 

If what you said is really true, then congratulations! You are among the lucky ones, and if you are still having confidence in bitcoin, then you can just keep on holding your bitcoin. You shouldn’t be in a rush to sell, the bull run hasn’t started yet, so just keep on holding till the bull run starts, and you can make up your mind on what to do.

Why will the OP give you his wallet address? If you don’t believe the OP, then it’s left to you. It doesn’t really make sense for you to be asking for his wallet, no one is forcing you to believe what the OP says. You are requesting his wallet address to confirm if the OP is really holding bitcoin. But it’s not your business if I am holding bitcoin. No matter what anyone says, I won’t reveal my wallet address or tell anyone the amount of bitcoin I am holding.

There is no time is right to buy Bitcoin you can buy when you have the amount of dollar you want to buy with, there are people who haven't heard about Bitcoin yet but if in future they hear about it they will be interested to be an investor….will you say is the right time for them to buy or not the right time due to the rapid increase in Bitcoin one can choose to buy now that is right time for him others can choose to buy tomorrow that is right time for them.

You are very lucky to have bought Bitcoin at that very low price, which should be around the beginning of 2023. I did buy some Bitcoin as of then too, and in 2022, at $18k.

As far as Bitcoin investment is concerned, investors usually make a profit during the bull market because it's always certain that the bull market will come, but those who bought their coin during the bull market will have to wait until another bull market before they get enough profit from their buy price. To be more profitable in crypto, always buy at the right time and also sell at the right time, which depends on how lucky you can be to make about 70% accurate predictions.

You must be really excited now because you have already made a good profit. Also,  know that Bitcoin has more heights to accomplish, which can happen this year through next year, and if you keep holding, you have a chance to earn more profit on your investment.

Most of all, make your security a priority, and don't forget that Bitcoin is a private asset, which means you should not disclose your investment information to anyone you don't trust, or you can still keep everything to yourself.

I don't know if you are telling the truth, but if ever you are, you're lucky indeed. The price has made a continuous surge and that makes you even luckier since your profits has grown more as well. Just continue doing that and be more patient while waiting for the final bull run, in the end, you will also be the one to reap and benefit your profits when you have decided to sell all your coins.

what makes the difference in bitcoin investment is the available cash flow to buy as much as you possibly can,  because even if you bought Bitcoin at the current price,  you will still be in profits by the time the bull market comes so for me there is no time such as right time to buy Bitcoin regardless of how much you bought it.

It can only mean something she you want to buy a small portion and holding for just short term,  but as long as long as it is for the long term then pricing bean all all-time high is still a good buy price for Bitcoin.

Yes there is no definite time or position where you can consider buying bitcoin but that's why there is technicsl analysis and such indicators for you to analysize when is the good time to enter the market, you can't just buy and buy without thinking, even you will going to do DCA you should consider the down and up trade, is better if the bitcoin you brought will only goes up in the long run, I notice your account to be a newly created, believe me investing or buying bitcoin is not that simple, its easy to say you should huy bitcoin and its easy to buy bitcoin, but in terms of earning bitcoin it will be hard road because you will need a lot of patience and dedication in order to leanr how to earn in this field. But yeah, stories like the OP are one of the stories that encourage us that investing in bitcoin will never be too late.

No one can guarantee your story is true - but if it is, you're really lucky. The average newbie investor simply cannot resist the urge to hold bitcoin longer when they see big profits. They will even try to sell it just for fear of the price dropping again - but you may beg to differ, but who knows?

Someone after you will probably make a claim that they bought 5 bitcoin at $16K - they made huge profits in the shortest time, exactly the same as your story and we will also have a hard time which is true and which is false.

I understand your happiness because you invested the right time in the right way. If you didn't invest the right time, you might not have so much profit. People like you who invested the right time are all profiting and happy today. Since you have achieved so much success early in your life, always make sure to choose the right time to invest. If you can't choose the right time and if you have enough funds, you can continue investing by following the DCA method without sitting back. If you can invest in DCA method then you can have a lot of profit. Wishing you a bright future for your investments, may you go ahead with your investments and reap more profits in the next bull period.

Congratulations on your successful Bitcoin investment OP! Your strategic decision to buy at a low price has indeed paid off and it's fantastic to hear about the significant profits you've gained in a short period. The cryptocurrency market can be dynamic and your story reflects the potential rewards for those who take calculated risks. Enjoy your financial satisfaction and the excitement of your successful investmentand so will i i hope haha

Just remember that you haven't made any money until you actually sold it and the money is in your bank account or in cash. It's extremely easy to get greedy and think that Bitcoin will rise more and more, and then you will miss out on selling at ATH, and when it crashes, you will wait for it to bounce back at least to that level, which it will probably won't do.

I really don't understand the tone of this post: OP said he bought bitcoin at $22k, it's a good move, good price, but I really don't see anything exceptional about that, he pretty much barely doubled his investment, there are shitcoins that do 10x in a week, why should you attack him this way? Now we don't want to believe people who did a simple 2x? I just don't get, am I missing something?

What do you think about the other ways? a picture can be photoshopped, a video can be edited.

Showing Bitcoin address and sign a message proving if he has access to the wallet.

Really? you've reveal your address for multiple times and you've joined in a campaign that pays $65/week since Nov 2022 which mean you've at least around $3K or more. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5280190.msg61366622#msg61366622)

Obviously there are lot shitcoins can make you rich overnight, but that's not the point.

There are many fake newbies in this forum, that's why I ask the proof.

Like you said, "lucky for you". Indeed you got lucky. As a newbie investor, you shouldn't go "all in" with all the money you have at disposal. That's a huge risk you are taking. You are happy now, and saying good stuffs about Crypto currencies, but I am pretty much sure the whole tone of yours would have been different if the price went down from $22,000 to something like $10,000. You would be saying it was a big mistake. I have even seen some people starting to call bitcoin scam just because they invested all their money in a shitcoin and lost everything. If you are planning to hold for long term, then yes it is fine. Keep holding, but don't forget to take your profits when it is time.

Just remember that the amazing results you are obtaining have nothing to do with your skill and it was just some random luck which helped you, this is important because if you do not remind yourself from time to time about this, you may end up believing that it was your skill which allowed you to get those results.

Which may lead you to sell your coins too early or buy shitcoins believing you can predict the direction of the market, when this is clearly not the case right now.

I share the general feeling of not being very enthusiastic about the history of the OP. For a start he says he used all his available capital at the time, so it seems he used money he couldn't afford to lose. It also looks like he bought bitcoin simply for the possible profit and for no other reason. And he got it right just as he could have got it wrong. I would recommend you to learn more about bitcoin, its history and how it works, as well as personal finance before investing again.

With the astounding return you've made on your Bitcoin investment in such a short amount of time, you are big lucky investor! It's really amazing! Now, if I may give you some advise, I would strongly advise you not to sell off your investment just yet. How come? Well, because I really think that there is a tremendous chance for much more profit from Bitcoin to come soon. You see, we're not exactly in the middle of a bull market boom just yet, but you've made double you money.So, my recommendation is to weather the storm and wait it out to experience the excitement and potential windfall that accompanies a full fledged bull run. History has shown us that during these periods, Bitcoin prices tend to skyrocket, and I have confidence that this time will be no different!


Honestly, I'm not sure why the member requested the OP to share it wallet address. It's difficult to understand their intentions or what they plan to do with it. If their aim is to verify whether the OP is being truthful or not, I don't believe many other members are concerned about that, as they prioritize privacy more. Understanding how crucial privacy is can be highlighted by its role in safeguarding our funds, making it the primary means of protection

as long as we understand the characteristics of the bitcoin market, I don't think there is a problem, you can make profits in a short and large time, so luck is on your side, but as long as we are in the world of cryptocurrency, then one day we will also feel like we have been waiting for a long time, so Don't be surprised later, because that could happen considering that no one knows where the market will move. However, one key is that later prices will experience a bullish season

The profit you see now is only on paper, that is, imaginary. You can talk about profit only after selling bitcoin. Frankly, you are a risky guy if you put all your capital on the line. If I were you, the first thing I would do is try to realize the profit - I would sell part of bitcoin in order to return my capital in full. Next, perhaps, I would sell some of the remaining bitcoin in order to get the profit that you are talking about, but don't yet have. As a third step, I would wait for bitcoin ATH with the remainder of btc to increase profitability.

Only after all this one could talk about glad at the sight of the profit received.

If your story is true, then, OP, you are very lucky indeed. Because the current market price of Bitcoin has reached $52k, you are already able to earn almost twice as much. Congratulations to you!
       However, if you want to make a profit in cryptocurrency, you have to take risks. And because you bravely took that risk with patience, you have now earned a decent amount of money in return.
    If you are not in a hurry, you can continue holding calmly and patiently without getting excited. Because the bull run hasn't started yet, and when it does, we don't know how big it will be. So keep your emotions in check until the new ATH hits.
    Also, you must always be alert about the market price and situation, as anything unexpected can happen in the Bitcoin market. But of course, don't make the mistake of taking your profit when the time is right.

Now that you were lucky enough that your first investment was a success and you managed to make yourself some profit i hope yo are aware that it’s not the end of the road and this is when the part where your emotions are being put to test, how you manage your profit and your investment is also important because luck will not always come around.  Just as you experience a positive outcome you should also expect a price decline in future, during such times even an experienced investor will now look like a failure so you need to be wise and manage your profits wisely.

Don’t let the current trend get the best of you so expect a change at any time, don’t let greed come in the way else you risk losing your capital and profit. If you feel you have realized some profit enough then it will be best to withdraw part of the profit so you don’t have regrets later. Withdrawing your profit doesn’t mean you should stop accumulating more bitcoin as time goes on.

Congrats on your win brother.

Anybody with Bitcoin knowledge and capital can easily invest in Bitcoin. So, I can't necessarily call it luck. However, be careful cause
this is only the beginning. Losing all you've worked for would be unfortunate.

Once again, congrats brother.

That's a lovely story the op shared, but there are a couple of things to note here. First, it's around 2.5x profit for now, which is really nice, objectively, but also probably not considered high enough by many Bitcoin investors, since you can usually get more out of Bitcoin if you wait longer. Another thing is that buying just before the price starts rising is a matter of luck, and sometimes it takes years to see any profits with Bitcoin investment. So buying at the right time is not easy to do because things can change fairly fast, and the bear market can be very long.

Congratulations for experiencing the joy of investing in BTC, OP! With the high volatility of BTC, lots of investors take this opportunity to invest either in short or long-term depending on the gains that they will be receiving on its current price.

Your story is just one of the countless stories in which lots of people have also profited from investing in BTC. I just hope that even if you did experience such profit, let this not blind you from the fact that the result can always go both ways especially if you are not responsible and careful from your investments.

I also do hope that you continue to invest until you fill your satisfaction of earning BTCs. Let not failure dissuade you from investing also as this would be inevitably be part of your journey. Best of luck to you, OP.

I'll go ahead and congratulate you, it's a great achievement and an over 2.5x return on your investment. I don't really care if the OP is lying or not, but I can understand why some are a little sceptical, because a few newbies had attempted to farm merit through their topics. Good luck to you and I hope you continue investing in Bitcoin.

Even if you decide selling at the moment, that would mean big profits already. But invest more and hold more, there’s more to gain when bull run finally comes. Patience is the key. Bitcoin price may won’t get to its new all time high instantly, but that’s the beauty of hodling. Your faith will be tested along with your patience when the market price suddenly moves in an opposite direction, and moves back afterwards. So focus on what you think is right, your goal is to multiply massive profits, and it will only be possible when bull run finally enters the market.

I wish him the best of luck with his investment; Bitcoin is a fantastic investment in which everybody who invests will earn if he holds it for a long time. If you understand everything about bitcoin, you will know when to leave it before you sell it. When I first started investing in bitcoin, the price had already increased significantly, but I was still profitable with it because it is volatile. No one can predict when the coin will increase or decrease, you should simply set a target price that you want the coin to reach before you sell it and be profitable.

Bitcoin is something you can study quickly, is not like trading, you won't waste time before you fully understand it. I like to introduce many people to bitcoin when they ask me which investment is the best to put money into to minimize their risk, and I used to tell them about bitcoin so that they could be profitable whenever the price of bitcoin increased.

It's hard to believe the story being shared, but if the story is true then he forgot that his financial privacy is now threatened. If someone who knew him in the real world knew how much money in assets he had, this would be a threat to him. But I think trusting the OP is as hard as trusting someone who just found out about bitcoin and then invested all their money in it.

I would never have dared to buy bitcoin with all my initial budget without considering the risks. Maybe other people are the same, even experienced investors will set aside some of their budget for a backup plan or something like that. But of course, we don't need to think about whether the story is true or not, bitcoin is a good investment asset for anyone who believes in its potential.

I think you probably would have bought your Bitcoin Merch 3rd 2023 (i.e if I'm not mistaken), which I guess was the last time we saw Bitcoin at $22k per BTC, of which if compared with today's current price of $52k, that's absolutely 135% profit you just finally made within this short period of time, which I'm sure no bank could have ever offered you such return of investment, even in 5 or 10years investment time frame. But yet Bitcoin gave you all that in just bearly 11 months time. Hence, Bitcoin remains a super and good investment anyone can ever venture into any day, anytime. Because just as you just made over 135% profit within this short while, if you could hodl longer, you are likely to reap more profits

You did buy at the right time which the price of btc is at 20k+ at that time compared to current price. You are lucky indeed if you ask me but when it comes to investment is not sll about luck which you should make a research to be able to determine or at least predicted the price of btc in the future because if you are relying on your luck in investment then there's a chance of losing a profit even your capital you spent on buying bitcoin because I experienced it myself before where I have btc bought before not too long Before I start on bitcoin, let's say I have 10k dollar but later on it is no longer it is no longer 10k but less than 10k because before I only base it on the numbers if it increased or decreased without knowing why due to lack of knowledge.

I guess when it concerns with bitcoin, everyday is a good buy. Bitcoin is a long term investment, so you have to start investing it early as much as possible so you can maximize your returns in time. But I must say, OP is just lucky that he got to invest at a maximum amount when he was starting because he can easily increase its storage as long as he wants to. One thing that majority of the investors find it hard because bitcoin itself is quite expensive compared to other investments. But as they’ve said, you have to take the risk for you to gain your goals or desires. Otherwise, you might end up regretting because you were not brave enough to risk something.

op really you are very lucky when you invested in bitcoin the market value of bitcoin was $22,000 the current bitcoin market shows that you have profited a lot. In fact, the way your luck has been with you, not everyone's luck is with you in investing in Bitcoin, you are very lucky. But since you are new to bitcoin investment you must have a long term plan in bitcoin investment because once in a while your luck will be with you but your luck will not be with you so you must acquire enough knowledge in bitcoin investment. If you don't get enough knowledge about bitcoin then one day you might get hurt so you must get good knowledge on bitcoin and have long term plan in bitcoin investment so that you can get more success with bitcoin investment in future.

Look, I get that why2why may be full of it but don't you think your being a little hostile in this scenario? Play the long game at least but don't go jumping out the gate asking for a wallet especially to a newbie. Show em how smart you really are.

You may have purchased your invested bitcoins sometime between March 2023 when the price of bitcoins was below $30,000.From there the price of bitcoin has steadily increased and today the price of bitcoin has increased to about $51 thousand for which you have seen the face of success. Consider yourself lucky as you have been able to earn a good profit by investing in Bitcoin in the new state. Maybe you took too much risk in investing in Bitcoin because you invested in Bitcoin with all your money at your disposal. It was risky because since you invested in Bitcoin with your entire settlement money you might have suffered a big loss if the price of Bitcoin had gone down instead of going up.So we all should invest in any coin that you can afford to lose.

That is why you see us continue spreading the good news about BTC, so that those people or countries that are still afraid of BTC will take a bold step you took as a newbies to invest in BTC investment last year when the price was around $22k and, right now your profits has increased more if you are ready to sell and cash out your money.

I will advise you to endure with your hodling since the price of BTC still have the strength to go higher to break a new record by hit higher to $70k and, it will accumulate your profits in double and you will have something good to tell people about BTC investment.

Op does not have to post their BTC address if they don't want to, it is bad for privacy, especially when the address holds a large amount of coins in it. I understand you feel that the story is made up, and you may be correct, i have also called out a lot of members for posting fake and made up stories of how they bough x amount of BTC and made y profits, but they don't have to lose their privacy to prove their story, that is if there is a 1% chance that the story is true.

Your $22,000 Bitcoin investment and $52,000 rise is outstanding. I agree with you on Bitcoin's potential as a currency and movement. Those of us who've experienced crypto's volatility and benefits relate to your narrative.

Yet excitement must be moderated. Cryptocurrency is profitable but volatile. My experience has taught me that every high has a bottom. Key? Diversification. Its wonderful to go "all in" and win, but dispersing risk may protect your prosperity.

Like yours, Bitcoin's journey shows blockchain technology's transformational capacity. Profits arent everything - its about financial revolution. Your accomplishments enrich Bitcoin's heritage.

Diversification on crypto market is useless since the general crypto market moves in same direction with Bitcoin but worst on altcoins when bear market hits hard. Diversification is only applicable if you will combine traditional investments to crypto investments so that you can balance your portfolio whenever there’s something wrong on one market because they move in different way.

The most safe way on crypto investments is invest only what you can afford to lose just like gambling due to its volatile nature. You can lose all your profit with just a short period of time so make sure to avoid over extending your capital.

My advice is to keep holding your bitcoin until it passes the last ATH so you can experience selling bitcoin at the new ATH price. But it's okay if you want to sell some at the current price to take the profit and still hold most of your bitcoins.
Because the price has increased to $52k, you need to determine what selling price you want, so you just have to wait for the selling price to be reached and start selling the bitcoin. Don't be greedy if you want to sell it because after reaching the ATH price, there is a possibility that the bitcoin price will decline. When the price declines, no one knows whether it is just a correction and then the price will rise or continue to decline.
So you should determine the selling price and wait until that price is reached.

I assume you are one of the many people who are currently happy with the profits you have made with Bitcoin because the price of Bitcoin is increasing.
You are also one of the lucky people with Bitcoin because you bought it at a price far from the current price. Luck exists but not everything and forever depends on luck.
I think your story is true. I am also happy with the luck and profits you get.

Regardless if this story is made up or not, still OP is not obliged to post his BTC address just for authenticity. Note that we all encouraged everyone most particularly newbies to protect our privacy especially when it concerns our bitcoin storage. But here we are trying to break that rule.

Now, even myself I can't tell exactly if OP is telling the truth or not. But if he's actually lying, I guess he won't benefit from it either. If this post is only for merit phishing, then OP lacks some factors to make his post meritable.

The tone of your post suggests that you have already sold your bitcoin,  if true at what price did you sell? Was this your initial plan of getting into bitcoin, to invest and sell whenever you have seen reasonable profit? If you have sold, what's your next plan for Bitcoin?

I don't have a problem with buying and selling within a short time like I supposed you have done but the challenge with that is the inability to build a lasting Bitcoin portfolio.  There is high temptation in this like using the profits for other less important things and not being able to replace the quantity of Bitcoin you have.

From my little experience,  I think buying and keeping it for longer period is better in terms of building a portfolio and profit margin.

Yeah, there's always happiness over something that is gotten right.
so the question now is; How will you know the actual (right) time to buy Bitcoin?

It just gave me an idea to invest if you have the financial means to do so. You could be lucky or not but since it is Bitcoin we are talking about, potential is decent. There will always be times of such; lucky or good entry point and a bad one. No one guarantees which is best therefore your actions after your investment should matter more. If OP happened to invest in $22k then a decline lasted until now, did he do the right thing? Yes, as long as volume and demand is still there, the chance of market price recovery will also be present. If it happened to be corrected after his entry, and if he chooses to hold then same result will more likely to be expected. A lesson for the new ones to be firm of their decisions once they came to the idea of investing into this technology.The right time to buy is when you are ready to endure market price changes or the time you are ready to embrace the risk. There will always be time that ups and downs on its value will be observed and that will just be fine. The manner of either selling or still holding is what would determine whether it will be profit or not, on your investment.

I am happy for you due to you making the Bitcoin investment when there's panic in the market which some newbies don't usually do cause they mainly focus on the disadvantages of the dump while ignoring the advantages that come with it.
The current profit you made due to the current market price is still small if you can hold at least for the next 12 months. However, the best profit will be if you hold for the long term.

Yup, agreed on your thoughts as Bitcoin will surely reach new heights as we have already seen how it has crossed all the hurdles and we have seen Bitcoin only progressing further but yeah as you mention there would always be uncertainty because that's how crypto will ever be but it won't be as crazy as Altcoin fluctuations, still it would be better for us to stay upto date with all the news related to Bitcoin.

I think we may see some more fluctuations and even a possible short term correction like we saw when Bitcoin touched $48K and then dropped below $40k only to pump back and cross $52k.

wow great, congratulations to you, I'm happy for you too. I hope you get maximum profit from crypto. I'm also accumulating my bitcoins, but I'm a little sad now because every payday I usually get how many bitcoins, now because the price of bitcoin has gone up, I get less bitcoins than usual. but that's okay. By the way, don't forget to always use risk management, we know that the price of this crypto space fluctuates quite high, but if you play long term, ignore that.

It is surely a good thing that you buy at that market price, I also buy some when the price is around 20k$ but I more like Dollar Cost averaging so I still continue to accumulate Bitcoin, but I know that the market price is high at that time so I mostly increase my buying power at that market price, and so far the return is great, profit is kicking at 50k$ I was still hoping that the market price could drop which I think still going to happen so I decrease my buying power right now since the market price continue to increase its market price, Its not really a good time to buy if the market price continues to skyrocket, because for sure this could easily be a huge bubble, still doesnt want to continue to stop buying because its DCA, but at the same time doesnt want to buy high volume because of I dont really want to be FOMO.

Timing is really a thing here in Bitcoin if you know when to buy it is surely going to be a huge profit other than just investing out of FOMO right now since we are seeing the market skyrocket for sure a lot of beginners wanted to invest and take a profit which is really risk, when you bought at the bottom you could easily hold for a long time.

OP, you got the opportunity to invest in Bitcoin at the right time which is why you are now seeing a profit on your investment. If you don't need money urgently and can afford to lose this investment then you should not sell bitcoin now try to hold it for a long time to get more profit.

Since you didn't invest in DCA method you may be financially broke if unfortunately the investment loses. So if you want you can sell some of your investment and recover the capital. You will hold the rest for a long time and hopefully get a lot of profit. However, congratulations on seeing a return on your investment.

True or not, Bitcoin is so promising, we can see it all around us, and those who want to get the best through it must be ready to take the risk. But it's not about just taking the risk but taking the risk at the right time. Like the OP, he took the risk at the right time, and you can imagine what he would gain if Bitcoin eventually hit $100,000 or more in the next 1.5 years. How many banks and investment packages can achieve that (almost x5) within that short time?

I have so much trust in Bitcoin (decentralization) and the investment involved in it, even the payment gateway involved eases a lot of pain for people like me. This can't just be overappreciated. I knew what I went through when I was sending money abroad initially, so it is all benefits regarding Bitcoin if we look beyond the money we could make through it. Well, for others as well, it is never too late, anyone can still make money in Bitcoin because the way I see it now shows that it might even surpass the $100,000 market that people often call. It has almost reached $60,000 before the post-halving season, I wonder where it will be when the time is eventually reached.

In my honest opinion, your buying is very great as you aforementioned your buying point was $22k which was a good buying point i mean I have seen people waiting for this point of Bitcoin to occur again which now I think is very difficult like Bitcoin will come here at this point. I am saying this because Bitcoin has already gained value alot as it is standing at $52K and in the case of having Bitcoin may go down near the price of 35k-40k for halving correction.

Well On the other hand buying range of $25k-$27k was also a good buying point those who missed these buying points while thinking that prices may go more down miss the golden opportunity of buying. OP I would suggest you that get ready for the coming correction of the market to buy back again with some new funds for another entry in the market. As bull run on the way which means no opportunity should be neglected. Buy only if you have sufficient funds and can make one more entry for the coming correction. Besides all that I would highly suggest you to Do Your Own research as well before taking any action (highly recommended). Many Thanks

All I can say is congratulations and you are lucky because the price of bitcoin has increased so much today, It's also good that you took the risk of investing in it and at least you have some money to invest in, just don't really pour all your money in investing in bitcoin and learn to diversify your holdings. Knowing that you're a newbie, I can say that you're a good timing of entering money here because we all know that the price of bitcoin has gone up, and the money you invested will be earned right away.

If you can hodl it a little bit longer OP I think you will get more than what you have in your profit right now. Though we are not that sure if this is just a made up story or not but if it's true then congratulations! I don't call it lucky but you got a good timing for taking the risk to invest earlier. If Bitcoin price goes $100k at the end of 2025 then that means a lot of money. Smart newbie  investor.

If you still collect Bitcoins at any price regularly then I am very sure that you will be able to get maximum profits one day and also we can still continue to collect Bitcoins according to our abilities and never force ourselves to invest so that we cannot persist with the investment we make because we don't have other funds when we really need it and have to sell some of the assets we have, yes because the price of Bitcoin fluctuates it will be very profitable if we are able to hold it for a long period of time and we don't never affected by current market prices, but when we feel we have achieved sufficient profits we can take these profits for what we need.

I agree. Those of us who believe in Bitcoin as a promising asset have felt for ourselves the impact it has had on us. For bitcoiners who have been with Bitcoin before, they also really know that Bitcoin is a very promising asset in the future. We can even say that if you want to organize a better future economy, Bitcoin is the choice. Something like that.
The courage to take risks on Bitcoin certainly has a basis. Long term is more appropriate than making Bitcoin a traded asset.
Bitcoin investments earn huge returns at different times when compared to investments like gold.

From the ops explanations, he stated that he bought his initial Bitcoin which at that point what came into his mind was how to own his first Bitcoin and the ops may not have looked at the price of Bitcoin then, but this is what happens to most newbies unless they have a strong financial knowledge of the market before getting their first capital to invest in Bitcoin, only then will they take note of the price of Bitcoin before buying it and that the best point on buy-in.


Most of the newbies in that category will only grow along with knowledge after the bought they first Bitcoin and become a member of the forum, this is why many of them sometimes jump in when the price is already high and will have to wait longer before they see any tangible profits.

Winning big doesn't mean smooth sailing forever. The crypto market's more unpredictable than a toddler's nap schedule. So, this dude shouldn't get cocky and think he's invincible. He gotta stay grounded, remember that even the pros get wrecked sometimes.

Investing ain't about waiting for the perfect moment to strike, that's like waiting for a unicorn to deliver pizza. Dive in when you're prepped, know the risks, and only play with money you can afford to lose.

Sure, optimism is cool, but don't let it blind you like a laser pointer to a cat. Be smart, take profits when it makes sense, and spread your bets across different coins. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, even if it's a shiny, digital one.

Bitcoin is a coin I know quite well that holding it is something that come from your plan's and again you can't hold a bitcoin without you having an agenda, so, someone who hold bitcoin has already planned on how to make profit in bitcoin and it has already gotten the experience of bitcoin, come to think of it properly you see that bitcoin investment is benefitting people who understand the exact time to invest in bitcoin and when not to invest in bitcoin, because at a point you see that not as many we think can hold bitcoin for long time.

I am surprised that you requested for this. You should understand how this forum works and how we even advice newbies who post their addresses to keep them private. Op do not have to do much to prove to us that his story is true. For your mental wellness, just assume OP just lied and all will still be fine.

We are all carried away by the volatility of Bitcoin because we profit from it. Gradually we are losing the main essence of bitcoin or let's say other things bitcoin brings to us. We should love and believe bitcoin both at low or high.

Since you invested when the price of Bitcoin was low and now the price of Bitcoin has increased a lot, you have made a huge profit. If you bought bitcoins at $22,000 then of course since bitcoin is currently worth $52,000 you have more than doubled your profit. But if you increase your investment period and want to do it for long term then it can be expected to give you more profit in future. As you are a newbie and your first bitcoin investment is successful and you get good profit in short period of time it is very happy for you but you have to hold to get more profit from one. If you start holding Bitcoin at the current level and hold until Bitcoin ATH you can expect multiple gains. Although you have invested in Bitcoin so it is not at all risky for you Bitcoin investment will always give you financial freedom. And you invest bitcoin and hold it patiently it will surely lead you to success and now as you are facing huge profit, so glad you don't sell your bitcoin now but hold it.

Congratulations OP, now that you have succeeded to purchased a huge amount of Bitcoin as a newbie, hope you will hold for the real bullish season to come, because that is the season both long term investors and short term investors use to make passive income from the market,  which it will give you the same opportunity to be part of the lucky investors. When you succeeded to purchased Bitcoin in the right time, it will give you so much hope during your holding because you will begin to think positively about the market price. Ensure you save your Bitcoin in a solid wallet like electrum so that you will not experience missing of Bitcoin in your wallet in the future, but when you don't make use of the solid and safe wallet, you will definitely experience some negative challenge in your wallet.

The worth at which you have bought bitcoin is low cost and if we compared today's cost with 22k$ then you have lots of profit if you sell your bitcoin now. But keep it in mind that all the time luck will not help you as you have choose bitcoin this time but all the time every coin does not show the same success so use your knowledge instead of trusting your luck.

There are lots of other people who have bought bitcoin at 15k$ of worth and they are more lucky than you because they decide earlier than you to buy bitcoin. I think every time is good time to buy bitcoin if you can afford to buy bitcoin at that time but if the price is lower but you don't have money then its not your fault so try to buy whenever you can buy.

As a beginner to go all in is quite a bold move but something that is definitely worth it! Lots of beginners often hold out until the very last minute due to the being hesitant. This is why a lot opt to go for the DCA method but to go all in deserves some applause.

Bitcoin will definitely rise more in the next following months. It will continue to increase even after the halving event. It might take another while for the next halving but there is huge possibility that Bitcoin will exceed 100k. If you are planning on taking out your money right now, you would have already gained profit however I would advise you to keep on holding.

There might be some challenges along the way whether on your end or bitcoin's but for sure, holding for longer would benefit a lot of us.

Congratulations, when luck hit you next time and your timing falls on bear market, it wont sound funny anymore , so I will advice you acquire more knowledge of bitcoins so the story won't be reversed later. To me learn when to take profit, when to hold and when to buy more , you must avoid greed for more and also avoid squandering. To keep the line of wealth in place.

I will also suggest that you engage in diversification, so that you can keep earning more. Relying only on bitcoins which is not predictable may be easy.

As a beginner before owning or buying bitcoin you must learn how to sustain like after buying learn how to hold for long

MY STORY HOW I LOST MY BITCOIN

At the year 2010 I bought bitcoin at #900 then it was 0.005 and before ending of 2012 it was 0.5 and at that period I was happy that I'm already making money but at the other hand I was unable to hold it for long that very time cause i never knew it will get to this very amount

Now I have to start all over again buying

this is luck that is not on your side, and is very different from the story of our friend who only needed a very short time but the profits he got were very large, so in 2010-2012 bitcoin had no signs of increasing like it is now, so in At that time, many people threw away Bitcoin and only bought some worthless items and now regret occurs and they have to start from scratch, as you are feeling now.

I understand he might be trying to deceive us, but not everyone would be comfortable sharing their bitcoin address with you, some persons like to keep their holdings private for their own security, moreover if he is trying to deceive us for the sake of getting praise out of it then he is wasting his time and only deceiving himself cause the bull run is coming, people are serious about investing and your busy seeking Congrats, when we would be celebrating a new ATH, what would you say to yourself.


I'm not a believer of words but we'll done if you really bought Bitcoin, my advice is don't sell now we are still starting the bull run and I think they is a lot more of up trend along the way, I believe you are here for the long term and prioritize your security and keep you coins safe from scammers, try hard wallet if you can afford one. The major thing here is you have started your bitcoin journey and even with a big boost, many of us never had the money to buy up to a whole bitcoin but here you are a newbie making such progress, be ready for everything that might want to shake your hands and make you sell. Good luck

Don’t get too greedy by seeing this many profits. If you show more patience then definitely you can make 3x the profits that you have now. Just give time to Bitcoins, and it won’t disappoint you. You really did a great job by buying at 22k USD. I still remember people for more profits tried to wait till Bitcoins reach 15k usd, but this never happened and they potentially missed the best time to buy the coins. If someone wants to buy the coins, then he can do it at current price also. Bitcoins will easily touch 100k usd this year.

You are one of those lucky person who have taken the risk of investing during the low price of Bitcoin. Congratulations on achieving to achieve of almost triple your profit. That's a good start for a newbie as an investment. You just have to remember that you should know to yourself when you should cash out. Don't forget to get your profit and invest again if the price gets low.

We must do that, love and trust Bitcoin at any level because the main essence of Bitcoin will not let us down when most use Bitcoin as an asset to gain profits from the price.
We also have to accept the fact that many people use Bitcoin as an investment asset to hope for profits through price returns rather than using Bitcoin as a currency or a transparent transaction system with services that never close as long as the internet is still accessible.

The fact is that Bitcoin is only used as an investment tool that provides profits, with high volatility. The profits are obtained more quickly and vice versa. The use of Bitcoin is no longer related to its main use for transactions, but rather as a speculative asset. But whether to trust Bitcoin when it is high or low depends on each person, but now we are starting to believe that Bitcoin can provide extraordinary profits. More and more people are entering, let alone approaching Halving

Are you still holding any bitcoin? Or since you sold your bitcoin, have you never bought any bitcoin again? And which year did you sell your bitcoin? I am just finding it difficult to believe your story. Most people who knew about bitcoin at early stage already sold it. Some of them sold it early because they didn’t believe the price is  going to reach the current price, so they sold it early when they thought they were already making a good profit, and they were thinking bitcoin price couldn’t go beyond the price at which they sold it. But after a few years of selling, some of them bought bitcoin back.
 
So you telling me that since you knew about bitcoin in 2010 and bought it then, you decided to sell after making little profit, and since then, you have just been observing bitcoin price movement, and you have never purchased bitcoin since then? Even during the last bull run and bear market, you didn’t purchase bitcoin?

At least for now bitcoin will still only be an investment but it does not rule out the possibility that with future developments it will increase further where legal payments (although still an alternative) could happen later.The process and progress must continue even though now bitcoin is only considered a commodity that is indeed used as an investment asset but of course this is still a progress where now there are a lot of people who think bitcoin exists and know that being in bitcoin can be a good opportunity for ourselves .
Now we actually just have to enjoy regardless of what the purpose of bitcoin is now or bitcoin that has deviated from the original purpose of its creation I dont think its too big a problem because in the end we will also have a future that will be in songsong and it could be that the position of bitcoin in the future is better than today.

That is a good one, but if you sell now you may regret later because Bitcoin is going higher as time goes on and the Bull Run market is around the corner. Secondly investing in Bitcoin is the best and the making a profit is very sure if you can patiently wait and also study the market knowing when to buy or sell.

    You know that's your story; whether it's true or not, it's up to you. Now that you have done this, there are still other communities here where you can think that you are just making up a story because you have not shown your bitcoin address as proof that you actually bought bitcoin during the time of $20,000, because you know here on this platform that there is no proof, which means you are just making up a story.

    Then the accumulation of Bitcoin is a given that many are actually accumulating because of the long term, especially since there is an upcoming bull run. That's good if, in a short period of time, you have an immediate profit and your capital doubles immediately.

The right time to own a Bitcoin is when we have an excess money, so that we won't worry a lot whatever happens to it, however there are still people who are able to risk the money that is intended for something or use amounts beyond their limits. They are lucky if they don't sell at a loss but if not, it can cause them a devastation.

Another right time would be is to buy when the price is low. Not sure if you have waited for it OP but if not, then it was a literal definition of a right timing. Buying at lows like that, increases our chance to profit and it can come immediately like what you experience there because the price might be low already to drop more and there's also people who are waiting for this moment to start buying heavily.

Your story OP proves that buying Bitcoin during the bear season has a huge chance of earning (double/triple). I won't say it was the perfect time but I would say you did it right. High risk-takers investors will earn more compared to defensive investors. And what happened to you OP is the result of your trust and faith in Bitcoin - it is worth risk-taking and people should consider this as an opportunity as well rather than just ignore it.

Well, I do not feel bad that I never invested in Bitcoin 10 years ago but I am still glad that I have some of them now.

---

For those who haven't yet, I guess we don't need to wait for another year to pass before realizing it.

It's true what you said, when you have the ability to collect Bitcoin, of course it's the right time to be able to collect and hold it and we will be able to hold it for a long period of time to make a profit and if we are not able and force ourselves, we certainly won't be able to last long and we have to sell to be able to meet the needs we need, for some people who have to sell at a loss of course they haven't prepared for their other needs and when they have these needs of course they have to sell to be able to meet their needs.

Buying at a low price will of course be very profitable when the price is high again and we cannot know for sure when the price will actually reach its lowest point and if you can know and take advantage of that moment, you will certainly get a lot of benefits.

exactly not unless he is in bad need of money then he has no choice but to sell His bitcoin but if not then better to keep Holding for more time now as the having is near to come and yes the effect will surely bringing Bull run now.

You are very lucky to have utilize the opportunity when the Bitcoin price was that low, it seems you invested huge for you to have seem such excited, actually it was wise for you to have invest on Bitcoin then because there are people who are still waiting for the Bitcoin price to drop more before they could invest and the price keep going higher so I believe that every moment is actually good for people to invest on Bitcoin.

Every time the Bitcoin price is good for entering Bitcoin, but you also have to consider whether you are entering at a price that is good enough to support the profits you will get. If the target price you want is still quite far away or at the new ATH the current price is certainly still more than half of it. We will see bitcoin rise higher from now if it holds for the long term. You only need to make purchases in stages to get a good purchase price, it must be managed well.

This is actually encouraging to other newbies to accumulate bitcoin now and stop procrastinating, knowing the right time to buy bitcoin just depends on your choice cause after the bull market people still want to accumulate during the bear market and people like this intend to hold for 3_ 5 years. Holding bitcoin for long term is more beneficial.
With the way you sound it seems you're over excited, being over excited with the price is not bad but you should never get too excited and sell without reaching your investment plan, when holding bitcoin learn how to exhibit the mindset of long term cause we have a lot of investors that has achieve more but still holding.

Apparently, it was not necessary to know when to buy but doing this during the dip is the best time. Unfortunately, the current situation is not bearish anymore, we missed the chance to buy Bitcoin when it was just $25k-$30k. However, this never means that buying is over as we still have the chance to earn some profit even buying at $50k. We might thought it was expensive and too late already but ATH has not yet happened, if we can wait, we still make some.
A real investor doesn't think it is over but instead, they will think there is still a chance left. I don't think it was hard to wait and hold for a year if our goal is to earn more.

Do you really feel you are smart, I have been wondering how many Bitcoin you bought to have given you financial satisfaction within the shortest time frame so funny. Am putting it to you that you don't have any stash in your portfolio and when next you want to lie you have to be more smarter. I will advice you do more reading to enable you contribute meaningfully. However there is no point bordering about knowing when to buy, you can buy anytime at any price with your dca strategy so far your are buying to hodl, Bitcoin is best when seen in long term perspective to enable you have a compounding of your invested value.

Congratulations on your very good profits with your Bitcoin investment. I believe that this initial gain will give you quite a bit of confidence, and it will sometimes cause you to ignore warnings when the market enters a correction period. Have you ever thought about what you will do when Bitcoin drops from 52k USD to 30k USD (profit will decrease when quite a lot), will you sell or continue to hold? Investing is a long road, I agree that Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market are the fastest and most attractive investment markets, but if you do not have a clear plan for your investment, you will easily get caught up in the psychology of the crowd (sell when scared - buy back when the market rises).
I was once like you, extremely excited when I just invested and earned almost double the profit. At that time, I thought I was very good and understood this market well, so I kept buying and reselling it because I thought I would quickly make a profit. But after a period of looking back, I didn't make much money during that whole process instead of just holding it long-term, it would have given me much larger profits.

Is that the rules in this forum, that everyone that posts about Bitcoin purchase must post his or her Bitcoin wallet address to prove a point, and why should anyone say he bought Bitcoin when in reality is not so?

May be there is more I should learn along the buying Bitcoin and making my excitement known to fellow forum mates

if you think that having Bitcoin is important and it will give you a big help in the future you will try to have it no matter what happens. because you saw it with great potential.

So when you have a chance to have this, you won't waste anything to buy little by little and hold it long-term for your good future or your loved one.

Congratulations to you on you big profit mate. People who bought at that price and ar still holding till this very moment at currently on big profit and this has to do with patient in investment. OP you have done well. This means you are a patient investor and can good for a very long time. If I were the owner of that  btc you bought I could hold it further till after the bull run to see how far I can go with my investment to make more profits.

Congratulations on earning a profit from your Bitcoin investment. As an investor I am also happy to see the profits of your invested bitcoins. In fact, when you bought bitcoins, the price of bitcoins was very low, so maybe that was the best time to buy bitcoins. If we consider from the time when you bought Bitcoin for investment till now, we can see a lot of upward trend in the market. You mentioned that you bought Bitcoin when it was $22,000, but since then the price of Bitcoin has gone up a lot and reached a unique high.

As we saw the price of Bitcoin touch the new ATH if you were able to hold on to the Bitcoin at that price then you faced much more profit. Which will make you much more happy because you have gained more. People like you who bought Bitcoin at that price and managed to hold until the new ATH record will be much more profitable and happy. That's why we should buy bitcoins and hold them for a long time with patience.

OP has done very well and of course because of his patience and also his belief in Bitcoin, that in the long run Bitcoin will provide huge profits for him.
And if OP has the ability to be more patient and is not tempted to sell because OP has now made a profit of 3x the purchase price of $22,000, then currently the Bitcoin price is approaching $70,000. And we will soon pass the halving and if OP still holds or makes purchases during the journey, then OP will get much bigger profits after passing the halving. And I congratulate the OP and keep the enthusiasm to achieve much greater profits from Bitcoin in the long term.

OP continuing to hold or selling a portion are both good options. To be honest, we all hope that bitcoin will rise in price and break its ATH again soon, but we have no guarantee that will happen for sure and profit taking has never happened. now it's wrong. If it were me, I would sell 20% of my bitcoin holdings and I can enjoy my results, but in case I don't need the money yet. I will use that money to wait for the opportunity for bitcoin to adjust to buy back bitcoin at a better price. The long-term holding option is not bad because OP has acquired a buying position at a very nice price.

Buy bitcoin for 22k USD and OP's profit is only nearly 3 times higher if calculated at the current price, I see this as a very normal thing and not a huge profit to be suspicious of. If someone doesn't believe it then ignore what he says, we don't need to be so jealous that we doubt other people's small successes.

Besides bitcoin investment also brought me a small profit, some altcoins even brought me 10x profit. To me, this is too normal and nothing to brag about because we all know the potential and risks that this market can bring. These days, if someone has an understanding of the market and invests in projects on DEX, it is not too difficult to earn 3, 5 or 10 times profit in a day.

OP is just lucky to first bought his bitcoin at a very low price and is still hodling until now. That only proves that he knows well his investment, and that patience will be the greatest factor to gain massive profits in the future. Not everyone can be as steadfast as he is, while looking back from those price corrections that made bitcoin price very unpredictable.

Now that bitcoin halving and bull run are fast approaching, then the more that he will hold tight his investments. This is the time that greed will come in. But if he will focus on his goal and disregard his greed, eventually everything will paid off in the end. Congrats in advance OP.

Op are you still holding your bitcoin? If you haven't sold your bitcoins yet, you are definitely in about 3.5x profit now. Which is a profit to Hughes. Long-term investment in Bitcoin is definitely profitable, but it requires patience and long-term investment. Bitcoin is a very potential coin I think you know this very well and that's why you invested in Bitcoin at that time. congratulations for your great experience and a great profit from bitcoin. However, even though Bitcoin is very potential, there is a lot of risk in the investment, so you must continue to invest using the DCA strategy when investing later.

Many people are making huge profits by investing in Bitcoin and holding Bitcoin Bitcoin is a powerful crypto coin and the first to emerge in the crypto era.  And it is designed in such a way that without any kind of owner control it will live only as long as the internet lives. That is why Bitcoin can be trusted freely and any amount can be invested here and that too for a long period of time.  If op is holding his bitcoins strongly then he must have been very profitable so far as the price of bitcoin has crossed $72k today.

   Since bitcoin is getting popularity due to inflation crisis all over the world, any day and any time of the day is best time to buy bitcoin. For a long-term investment, a particular hour does not matter since in the long run price will increase. For a short-term investment, keep in mind that bitcoin price hourly fluctuation has no regular pattern. If you believe in value prop of Bitcoin then it's always time to buy, put some money aside every 2 weeks and buy it which will average your cost, you can't guess ups and downs. If you want to make quick money by buying and selling at the right time, then no one can guess, and everyone who claims they do, they are lying. The problem now when we are in a bull market is not to FOMO as there will definitely be corrections on the way up. And when you see a such correction then it may be a favorable time to buy Bitcoin. Keep in mind that Bitcoin may go for a prolonged time without experiencing corrections especially in strong bull markets like the one we are now.
  If you believe in the long-term potential of Bitcoin and can afford to hold through market fluctuations, buying now could be a sound decision. Remember, Bitcoin has shown resilience and continuous growth over the years, often rewarding patient investors. However, if you prefer a more cautious approach or if you anticipate a potential short-term dip in price, waiting for a favorable entry point might be wise. Conduct thorough research, keep an eye on market trends, and consider consulting with financial experts before making any investment decisions. Ultimately, the decision to buy Bitcoin should align with your financial objectives and risk appetite. Whether you buy now or wait, remember to invest only what you can afford to lose and stay informed about the dynamic cryptocurrency market.

And that is fearful to do. Just like how you bought BTC at the bottom. it is also fearful to hold your position until new all time high will form. And it is fearful to do yet that is the only way to make money because you may lose the profit that you already have. It take guts to make money because you need to take risk, and conquer your emotion not to follow it's advice. When you are fearful, that is the time that you should be hopeful. When you are hopeful, that is the time that you should be fearful.

Just continue doing your thing OP. Stick to your plan and invest to BTC as much as you can.

Ignore people who are jealous of your success, and don't be surprised when they feel uncomfortable because you are more successful than them.
But can you tell us that you sold your bitcoins or are you still holding them? To be honest, once we have made a big profit and continue to hold and face market fluctuations is not easy.

Personally, I was also profitable with my bitcoin investment and I did not hesitate to sell some of my bitcoin shares when I achieved x2 profit. I don't rule out the possibility that bitcoin will be dumped again and I might buy it back to increase my bitcoin holdings.

People have a lot of greed and envy so no one can see the success of others. so there is nothing to regret about this matter. you should enjoy your own success. Success is a very difficult thing so those who can achieve success should enjoy the moment. And you should always keep your investment hidden to be safe from all sides. That would be great. And it is better to invest in Bitcoin for the long term as the risk is less

It is not wrong if someone wants to hide their investment in Bitcoin because there is no need to share it with many people. After all, other people also often invest in Bitcoin, which can even be more than what we invest, so it's only natural not to reveal this to many people by continuing to enjoy the success we have now. Apart from that, at this time it is still good enough to continue making long-term investments in Bitcoin because considering the moment it is still quite feasible to do that.

people can actually be dangerous and envy might even make them do something to you just because of your assets that is known to them, People who are seriously involved in investing in Bitcoin will not disclose their assets to outsiders; they know the danger behind it, and that is like a rule for successful people, know what to say and what to do, especially, when you are holding a large amount of coin, and friends and family should be the first part of your investment plan.


And if the person decides to hide their investment, it should be their choice If he or she wants to share as an encouragement for others, then that is the person's choice, and you have made a good point about people who talk about their investments some are just to show off, and others will make others just for encouragement and also because of opportunity, because if you look at social media, there are people who talk about their investments on social media and even have academic classes for those that want to learn.

and the way they are flashing their wealth on social media, these are guys who hold quite an amount of virtual assets, and is not as if people can do anything to them, people can only envy the outside but cannot do anything. If anyone wishes to share, then it's a matter of choice.

Wise People are those who invest in bitcoin when they have money because price does not go down to such an extent about which we imagine before Bull season as everyone is in Struggle to buy before creation of new ATH. If someone has bought bitcoin when the price was below 30k$ then it means that they have double their investment money even it is higher than the double value.

I think people don't have loss the opportunity to buy bitcoin because still the price is down from previous ATH of 2021 that was 69k$ so don't wait for the opportunity but create opportunity for yourself because you will decide about selling and buying price as market is unpredictable.

Sure, you have to create the opportunity and follow your plans because hoping for the right time isn't quite easy. Waiting for price to dump before buying is a two edge sword, if you apply your DCA it means you are investing regularly. Waiting for me is not appreciative.

It doesn't really matter whether the price you buy, because we know bitcoin would surely increase in value. I see those who care more about price movement are those who want to profit in a short term and not looking forward to hold long term.

The truth is, it's the sole decision of anyone to decide how he goes about his investment, when to buy or sell just ensure you stick to your plan.
