What do you consider to be a long term investment.

[mrflibblehat]

It depends if you keep your bitcoins or if you invest them in another commodity and then wait for it to grow in value. Sometimes it's smart to invest in different things, not to just hope that bitcoin will increase.

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.

I'm planning to HODL for 5 years upwards, possibly 10 but I guess it all depends on what happens with the price. It's difficult to imagine what the 'get out' price is.

Serious long-term investment for me would be housing and hectares of land (at least here in my country.) The scene has been booming recently with real estate developers buying lands near commercialized areas. As for bitcoin, I'm planning to hold to them for the next 5-8 years max. It's been doing good for me, even with the recent price drops.

I'd be curious to know where you live. And yes, I agree. Land is always a good investment. There will never be more than it already is.

for me, long term investment is year and more, like 3 years sometimes 4,  some people holds bitcoins for month or two and already says "i'm going long", and sells bitcoins after first small price rise after month, funny to see how people misunderstands these terms

Long term is around 2-5 years. Depending on the asset you are investing in.
For bitcoin 2 years is a long time. For stocks 4 years is a good time to consider selling or re-buying.
In the end it really depends on the asset.

If the investment is made through bitcoin, then even 1 year will be considered a long term investment. In a year itself good profit can be earned.

In the world of bitcoin the time is different indeed.
For me even 1 year is very long when it comes to bitcoin, simply because a lot of things can happen in 1 year.
However i consider a normal period of 5 years long term.

[newcoins1978]

A long term period is very long for me if I'm honest, if you choose for a long term investment, you will go for 8 years or more in my opinion.
Its maybe long but a long term investment has to be long to make a lot of profit right ?
As a example you can see it with gold if you long term invest in it.

I would say that a long-term investment is any investment that goes up to a specific point (or is at least predicted to go up to a specific point) over the course of 5 years or longer. Mid-term would be 1-5 years, and a short-term investment would be under 1 year.

Periods under 3 months are short term investments
3 months to 1 year is a mid length investment
Over 1 year is a fairly long term investment
3 years + Example holding on to oil stocks until the economy picks up again and those shares start rallying is a long term investment.

Bitcoin anything over a week is a long term investment if your trading lol.

I somewhat agree, to me a year of holding bitcoins or anything else is a long term but maybe that's because I don't have too much to put aside, therefore I can't keep something away for a long time. I guess its different for different individuals, what one may consider to be short term, it may not be the same for someone else.
