I hear people talking about holding Bitcoin as long term investment and such, but what is long term for you?
I personally find long term to be at least 2 years where I hold my coins without touching them.

BSV is not the real Bcash. Bcash is the real Bcash.

Sometimes, if it looks too bearish, it's actually bullish

"Long-term" has no objective definition, which is why we have a market.
Every holder has a different investment time frame and risk tolerance.
My time frame is 7-10 years. I have a high risk tolerance since my initial BTC investment is about 3% of assets.

I'll see what's what around 2020. I think we'll start to have a firm idea as to whether it's going to fly or not by that point. There's no way I'd forget about it for 20 or more years. It could easily be a footnote in history by then. It requires monitoring.

I think of a long term investment as until the next ATH if it goes high enough. Most holders might be tempted to sell then even if they began intending to hold for decades. They might save a little of their stack for holding, but the temptation to sell will be too much for most.

For me a long term investment is something that will go through a lot of stress and instability but, in the end, returns with a big positive.
Therefore, a long term investment in bitcoin is not purchasing a few and selling them in a month to make a little profit - or because I am scared of future market prices.
A long term investment is keeping the bitcoin for 10 even 20 years and selling them then to make sure I earn enough profit.

It depends on the investment. If I think in that the webs HYIP like some fakes mining services in the cloud you can consider that a year is a long term investment because almost none keep more than a few months. If your investment is not a ponzi then 3 years can be a long term (at least for me).

I think 4 or 5 years is what I see as a real long term investment. Everything below that is considered to be mid term and I find 1 year even to be relatively short term.

3-5 years for currencies and stocks When you buy real estate and property make it 15-20 years at least For altcoins, 1 year is a lot of time.

I am holding for at least 10 years, it also kind of depends on how much bitcoin will grow and how fast. I would say holding bitcoin between 5 - 10 years is a long term.

Long term investments are 5-10 years for me at the moment.
The next step is retirement investments, which as you may have guessed are investments I plan to keep until my retirement or to bridge a gap in case I don't have a job in those years before retirement.

Long term investment doesn't mean large number of years. You need to hold it atleast for a year. In one years time if you feel that to be a great profitable, then you should collect the earned profit and make shor term investments

I think 2017 will be a very interesting year for bitcoin. 1 year after the next halving, there is quite enough of room for a new bubble. Thus it means, my longterm investment is till spring 2017.

For me it's like 1 year as the absolute minimum and everything that tops 2 years of firmly holding is the real long term Bitcoin investment.

Long term for me is at least 20 years. 2 years is definitely long term. That is way too short. Maybe even 10 years.
