The higher BTC goes, the bigger the risk/reward ratio and the less buyers enter

[Findingnemo]

 Of course one who enters into the market has less benefits than one who bought them when there is not enough data to analyze and invest. But still they can be able to make profits but the risks are considerable low than when it was in initial stage to the capital not just the value of capital.

2. BTC is limited in supply (~15 M active coins for the whole world is nothing!)

I am increasingly curious that if supplies run out, how will the whales and miners act? then where would we go if bitcoin price exceeds $ 100,000, even a million. Will the privilege of bitcoin be lost?
I am very worried if in the end those who own bitcoin are millionaires. small traders rubbing against the bottom waiting for the whales to give it a chance. and if it doesn't deserve bitcoin
it says finish?

In any situation, don't expect everything to be easy. Because any asset has a certain specificity and it has to be studied in detail if you decide to use it permanently or choose it as a long-term investment. Of course, this is especially true for cryptocurrencies, because they are one of the most serious and unpredictable assets and they often go through changes that even great experts cannot predict. So, you just need to move gradually, try to spend enough time on analysis and generally not to fuss and not to work in this direction with a lot of money if you do not yet have confidence and sufficient experience.

[Landazar]

It's good that you understand this specifics and give such valuable advice.
Because, unfortunately, not all people can be so critical and attentive to the situation and because of that they encounter certain difficulties and then cannot understand why their expectations are not met.
And that probably distinguishes a professional from an amateur who just sees the money and doesn't want to understand the cause-and-effect relationship.
And of course we should not forget that the situation can change at any time and bitcoin has proved that to us many-many times. So, you should not think that this time everything will be different and you can act as it is said in articles from the Internet. It will not lead to profit - that's a fact.

[DapanasFruit]

This is quite true based on our point of view as individual investors or small buyers of cryptocurrency but may not be holding true with big institutional investors who are actually used to smaller ROI. Getting a 10% return per year is actually not so bad if you are a fund manager and here in Bitcoin they can make more, that is assuming that Bitcoin will never go back to its "winter" history. I am sure that we are all afraid that after the bull run there can be a big dump that can erase all the gains we are seeing so far. And with Bitcoin, nobody can really guarantee it will never happen. We have to hope for the best while at the back of our mind to be prepared for the worst.

[Argoo]

I agree with you, because this is not just a guess-it is information that has been confirmed by many experts and actually makes sense. But it seems to me that the biggest issue is precisely the time frame. And no one can say exactly when this is going to happen and what potential will meet our expectations 100%. And yet in theory it is possible to imagine such a situation - that bitcoin at some very unexpected moment, right on the peak can lose its value and collapse sharply at the very moment when people will be celebrating their profits. I do not fully believe and understand such independence of bitcoin and I think that in time it may present not only pleasant surprises.

Well, such a development of events may well happen. The whales will always be interested in rocking the price boat for super profits. Therefore, the price of bitcoin rises or falls sharply when we least expect it. However, a planned collapse in the price could actually cause panic in the market, especially if the price of bitcoin is very high. Then, after all, every bitcoin holder will be very worried about the safety of his capital. In this case, a domino effect may well occur.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

I don't think that we have to worry about it though, as much as the prices go up, I think that people will still be interested in bitcoin no matter what. Yes, the risk/reward ratio goes up but that comes with almost any investment and I think that it doesn't really go up, the prices just go up so it sort of acted like an illusion that the risk/reward ratio go up too. It is the fault of the people that entered in bitcoin at the higher prices.

[jossiel]

If they buy @ $100k. They don't have to wait up to $200k if they want to make profit.

There's a percentage that they can take profit if they want to. Like if it goes $110k then there's already a 10% of profit and so on and so forth. Buying bitcoin today seems to be expensive for some.

But if you go back to the past, many have expressed the same thoughts about bitcoin's price, stability, adoption and future.

[Sithara007]

I am tired of these ridiculous arguments from noobs. If BTC goes up, then the risk/reward ratio doesn't get larger. On the other hand, the future prospects will get better as more and more investors enter the market. Investment always picks up pace when an asset is moving up. No one want to invest in an asset when it is crashing. Things would be different if the asset is overpriced. But that is not the case with BTC. Even at current levels, Bitcoin is underpriced.

[South Park]

If btc goes to 100k it will "only" have (more or less) doubled from its ATH.
From there it will need to rise another 100k in order to double again. I don't say this is not a good investment, but first of all crypto owners are spoiled, until up to now we were used to 10-fold, 20-fold + increases, so doubling the money has not been really special.
But this smaller reward ratio is paired with a much bigger risk ratio, since btc's swings in a correction period will also get bigger.
For hodlers who are in from the very beginning, it won't matter much probably, but where will btc find new buyers when it has reached 100k and needs to go up another 100k in order to double again in price?
And the fear of FOMO will also become smaller, as people will at one point accept, that the train has left the station.
Of course, should btc show convincing signs that it could reach 1 Million very quickly, then the whole picture changes.

I get what you say but I think you are underestimating bitcoin, there is still a lot of potential, only a few institutional investors have come, most regular people are still out of bitcoin and have not entered the market, now they are afraid to enter precisely because of the reason you are exposing but this is going to change especially if people begin to spend the money they have received from their governments and we being to see inflation going up relatively quickly during the next months.

[maydna]

Even if the price increases higher, I think people will still buy bitcoin. If they can't buy 1 bitcoin directly, they can buy from a small fraction and hold it until they can have a good amount to sell and make a profit. Perhaps, that is easy to buy bitcoin if those people have a lot of money to buy 1 bitcoin without a problem. If people can see the opportunity to use bitcoin as their investment and make a big profit in the future, they will try to buy bitcoin, especially if the bitcoin price can be down a lot. They will not wait for a long time to buy because the downtrend will come after the price increases.

[adzino]

If you are talking about the short term risk/reward ratio, then you are correct, the higher the price goes, the higher the chance of it falling back. But if it's going to be long term investment, no matter when you invest, you will eventually get profit as long as you don't sell them at a loss.
People can always buy fractions of a coins, don't forget that. But this is also true, less buyers enters the market. Hence, this is also why market correction is an healthy event. No matter how much people hate market corrections, it creates a chance for more buyers to enter the market and helps the price go even higher.

Hopefully that will be what the bitcoin market is going to follow because that is how stock market goes in a long term. And if bitcoin were to really do that then that means that in the future the growth is going to be much higher than what is the price currently. The people that fear the drops in bitcoin prices are the people that are greedy and wants to get their money quickly thinking that that is how investing works.

[LordShanken]

Price of any stuff goes up only if there are buyers willing to buy that stuff at high rates. The good thing about BTC is that you can buy it in chunks and this is very helpful for people with small capital. Whether you have 1 million or 10 dollars, in both cases you can buy bitcoin, it’s open for everyone.

[orions.belt19]

Funnily enough, I think its quite the opposite and probably even more buyers will enter once the price gets higher. Once it hits $100k people will think, what's this asset? And why is it valued as such? I find that most people will get in once price is high, and not when its still low because it has been established that there is value once price is high. Even amongst traders this is common as there are those who would chase the highs. If people believe that Bitcoin is worth that value, then there will still be buyers.

[wack slacker]

Looking back at the Bitcoin pumps and dump times I noticed that only altcoins have experienced a significant decline in value compared to Bitcoin.  In addition to Bitcoin, is there any crypto worth owning that doesn't drop in value when Bitcoin falls in price?  So keeping Bitcoin is safer than other altcoins.  People may not buy Bitcoin much anymore, but institutions do, and they've been buying continuously since the beginning of 2021.  I believe that watching the big boys action will be a way for people to keep buying Bitcoin.

[dolcemariposa1]

Many people are buying Bitcoins without seeing the price it has today in fiat value, due to the potential it continues to have as a reserve of value in the future, so it is still cheap

[rosebrand]

For me I think investing in bitcoin isn't that risky like most altcoins when bitcoin prices hits a new all time high and starts retracing in prices its deep isn't that deep and would surely bounce back, while for some altcoins after hitting a new Ath prices start dumping and will keep going down and coming up again would become very hard because alot of people has dump huge amounts of the coins, this mostly happens to coin with low liquidity . There are people who will always buy bitcoin regardless of the price because there believe bitcoin will always keep pushing higher

[Spack17]

Of course it seems like it is riskier to invest in Bitcoin when the price goes up to much greater levels. Because we have seen many examples like Bitcoin price reached great ATHs and decreased sharply after it. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the same thing soon also. But to tell the truth, it is actually not a thing that we can predict one hundred percent correctly. So there is always a possibility for you to double your investment, for example.

[mariayaz]

The higher BTC goes, the more people will get awareness of crypto currency. Just 3 years ago when BTC touched $19000, i saw more people getting interested in investing. I dont see people losing interest in investing in crypto when BTC increases with time.
