Profit for one investor means loss to the other one?

[Doge dealer]

This can never be true in theory or the real world . if buyer A bought some coins at $1 and sold them to B for $2 then A has made a profit of $1 . when buyer B now decides to sell and based on market conditions sells for $5 dollars then he would have made a profit of $3, are you suggesting that buyer B made a profit at the expenses of buyer A, this can absolutely not be the case so to say "profit for one investor means loss to the other one" is in fact a statement that is not factual. both individuals come come out making profits.

There's just one flaw in your example: Who bought from Buyer B? Yes, Buyer A and Buyer B made profits, but in order for that to happen, there has to be a Buyer C (or D, E, F, etc.). Not all sellers will profit, as we all know that somebody that FOMO'd at $20k and then panic-sold at $10k, but that's just the nature of the game. And yes, this can absolutely be true in theory AND the real world. A prime example of this happening on a day-to-day basis? The stock market.

Whether it is true or not that in markets like Bitcoin (crypto) ; one person gains only when the other losses some thing.  Suppose one person bought one Bitcoin for $5000 in January 2017 and sells in June 2017 for suppose $10000 he gains $5000 by selling.  Now the purchaser in June 2017 @ $10000 sells it for $6000 in January 2018 and as a result  he losses $4000.  So it is clear from the example that the profit of seller in June which was $5000 includes the loss suffered by the person who bought it in June 2017 and sold in January 2018.
If there are some other reasons for this profit / loss factor, I request other members to please share their knowledge with the platform because my opinion may be on the basis of partial truth and there may be other factors responsible too.

it is not always like that as profit to one investor will be the loss to another.There are situations like crash or all time high,which gives equal opportunities to everyone and it's just one's smartness how you handle this opportunity.But Opportunities comes to brave one and who are ready to take risks.One who wants to trade safe has very limited opportunity as well as returns are also less.

After the purchase of any item, profit or loss is understood. Any investor is investing for profit. Which may lead to loss or damage to the future. But it will be the profit of the real one to the other. So, the price of Bitcoin is the loss of one person's profit to other people.

Trading crypto must be smarter than trading in other forms because of crypto price fluctuations that tend to be very active at all times. Then, when we buy a crypto and in the next few months the price of the crypto is decreasing and if we sell it will certainly lose it would be much better we hold the crypto until the price is high again and avoid the loss. We have to believe that the right time to sell crypto and make a profit will always come even if we do not know when it will surely come. But, rest assured that the annual price of crypto will continue to increase as the crypto investment enthusiasts continue to grow.

All the profits we have come from the losses of other investors. When you get a profit means that someone has lost money in the crypto. If all investors are profitable, the market cannot survive. A down market says that it is trying to make a profit for the winners and make many losers.

Yes that is how it goes , the money has to come from someone right. There is always that 1 person who buys on ath.

While people trade crypto or anything else they look for profit - without profit they never came to the field of trading. Hence we cant think of net no money transfer when a trade happens. Obviously one person gains some money while another person loses some money. The difference is the timing and the decisive nature of placed orders if done correctly.

It often comes from many people not only a single person but there are methods by which cashing one persons buy order can be done specially or small volume exchanges.

Bitcoin trading come with it own risk and if you are not smart enough to calculate the market you may end up losing but when you are smart to know when to sell or hold then you will attain some level of profit, it also true that the lose of one means profit to another because if one does notblose the other will not gain.

I think this is the real experiences of a successful investors. Sometimes gain more, but sometimes loss many also. Just think that investing in bitcoin world is risky always. So, be in a strong determination when it comes to a decision. And be patient because there is always an opportunity to come to be able to grab for in the Cryto world market with a good and a profitable results, for no oneself will be loss.

Unfortunately, any financial system that everyone is winning together isn't possible. The cryptocurrency markets have the same delicate equilibrium. Prices have fluctuated to supply and demand. Of course, while the earliest taking an action is a winner, latecomers is always loser. It can't be any different.
