What are we really investing in bitcoin?

[Shasha80]

Everyone who invests in bitcoin, the reason is because bitcoin provides many benefits for holders. With our investment in bitcoin
our money can go up many times, because bitcoin has high volatility. Others benefit having bitcoin have freedom in managing our
own finances. The government can't interfere with our finances in bitcoin. Bitcoin also makes it easy to transfer money between
countries without involving third parties. With the many benefits provided by bitcoin, it's only natural that many new investors who
invests in bitcoin.

In my own assessment, around 90% of people joining the Bitcoin market is investing for the sake of money and nothing else. Even the posts around here are speaking as if Bitcoin is a stock, bought for the sake of having it grown in price before selling it all, and then buying it again once its price is once again low. The same percentage are people who are buying Bitcoin without knowing what it really is.

Is the service and profitability, even if bitcoin is highly volatile, are the only two reasons why bitcoin is attractive to investors? Any good opinions or answers? Thanks

Bitcoin is versatile, it depends upon us where we preferably use it. Most of folks here in crypto community wants Bitcoin because of profit it can give, the transaction speed, no third party involved, anonymity and more. Investors loved to use kind of technology because of highly volatile which can give them more return. Besides, Bitcoins had already outperformed other FANG assets, basically more powerful compared to other assets.

there are many reason, most people use bitcoin for trading and get profit, some people use for transaction (buy and pay using BTC).
some people buy and hold it for longterm, but i think it not worth it if you just hold in little amount, say it if you buy with 100$ -500$, and hold it for 2 or 3 years and lets say you got 3x profit with investing 100$ and make 300$ for 3 years it not worth.

Not available using bitcoin as currency payment in my county, I use bitcoin only for trading or investing to get profit. When bitcoin have been legal transaction have added function bitcoin for me to be currency payment for every transaction, now only with investment function for bitcoin and earn profit, Excited with bitcoin adopt in one country where we do not convert cash money in the bank for using as payment way.

Full freedom with economic independence is the dream of most people. That is why cryptocurrency especially bitcoin provides an attractive solution. With this unique niche, it automatically forms a good market capacity. This decade is also enough to prove that bitcoin is very profitable, of course, with terms and conditions that must be well understood.

I also use bitcoin only as a trading commodity because its use as a means of payment is prohibited in my country. Even so, I am very thankful because I can still use this well to earn money.

A belief has changed the economic system. I mean I will control myself. I will give myself security. And I can do the transaction right away. That's why it's so popular and invested here.

In this case, one should understand how trading is providing better opportunitiy than hodling. One should also consider that in trading, they should exert much effort because in an activity such as hodling your coins once you've bought it is static. You're just leaving your coins, not doing anything. But if you really want to earn profits, do some bit of a work with your investment. You need to wake up early to start trading, you need to conduct market and technical analysis to make it grow. And you need allot of patience to stick with it.

Well, we do have different mindset and most of us here do have job which require us to work for 8-12 hours, and trading requires focus and time to check charts, technical analysis, so even if trading is good, not everyone can do it, or they will just lose some of their money if they will do day trading despite of their lack of time.

Anyway, day trading does not necessarily that you will trade everyday, as this can happen during day off too, or if you do have spare time after work. For those who can't do it, then holding is always the best option than nothing.

Profitability should be enough to attract an investor, because the investment goal is profit. Blockchain technology is one of the reasons why investors are interested, we know the advantages of this technology and cryptocurrency.

From what I have observed that investor tendencies come because of profits. As I said earlier why the attraction of bitcoin is higher because bitcoin volatility provides investment opportunities with high profits.

[Memminger]

A belief that currency system should be decentralized. The power to the mass people, to the crowed not to a central authority. A belief that I control my finance and never worry about to be robbed by a certified (so called) authority.
 

But sadly the fees are quiet expensive but the volatility of the Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could be taken advantage of through trading. Also these so called authorities who keep snooping right at your back and all the hassles can be lessen through Bitcoin since it is designed to eliminate third party like banks for example. Also, if we think about it carefully, there aren't many limitations and other terms and regulations to be signed unlike in banks.

Is the service and profitability, even if bitcoin is highly volatile, are the only two reasons why bitcoin is attractive to investors? Any good opinions or answers? Thanks

This is my personal answer, why Bitcoin is attractive to me?  it is money, opportunity, and energy..  my chances of getting a large return on investment (gold, forex, stocks, commodities) are very small because I do not have the experience, knowledge and large capital to focus there..  I just focus my knowledge on cryptocurrencies so that my energy and time are not wasted.

Yeah you have a point and we are working on this. We are trying it with LN. Although LN has some of the limitation that the node has to be always online and such but I think at least we have a start May be in the future we will find batter solution.

We have just start and it's only 10 years now. I would like you to look at 20 years ahead from now. I am sure we will progress a lot. Imagine the internet in the 90s and now. It had it's limitations back in the days and still it has the same but it's running and to be honest without internet I do not think we can survive a day.

I am just waiting for the Electrum next version to be released. I am sure we will see more adoption for LN and this means more adoption for Bitcoin too.

In my opinion what really attracts investors to invest in bitcoin is its volatile price. Because they are making a profit with its price rising and falling. And another is the ability to raise its price in the long run. This was prove by bitcoin in 2017 where its price rose to 20,000 $. And many people are rich because of it and now so many people are hoping that it will happen again.

[crossabdd]

there are other guys, bitcoin is the technology of the future, the financial system of the future, in my opinion, the decentralized system of bitcoin is what makes investors interested. We know, before Bitcoin, even today the world financial system is still centralized, so that all assets that we have are controlled by the state. with bitcoin, investors are free to use their assets. complete control is in their hands. this is what most people in the world expect, including investors.

I agree.

On traditional assets like golds, stocks, shares, and so on needs a tremendous amount of money to make your profits big as possible in the long run, unlike in cryptocurrency that even small amount could be a good start to know if it fits to you. For example is this forum, creating an account is free, and earning here doesn't requires anything at all, except for ranks and merit, depends on the campaign.

Besides that investing in Bitcoin is hustle free compare to stocks and shares wherein there's a lot of process and most  of the time  lot of papers that you need to fill in. It is a time consuming compare to Bitcoin that you can earn and easy to buy and sell without any hustle.

Technology is developing that's why we all trust this, we know that time will come adoption will gradually increase.

The existence of technology actually makes it easier in the current system because transactions that are transparent and cannot be manipulated, especially in the detection of corruption and banks are easier because of course it does not need many people working on the blockchain. But the fact is the opposite. People who are interested in cryptocurrency investments have seen the potential of cryptocurrency as strategic enough to be invested. Users that continue to grow every year

Because Bitcoin is a new technology that is considered revolutionising the financial world, So many investors are interested in buying and investing in Bitcoin. Although Bitcoin was initially regarded as the only technology for payment, it would have remained over time many investors who used Bitcoin as an investment alternative because the price fluctuated very high.
