Digital asset is for holding

[Silberman]

advice for everyone here.. if i want to invest in crypto, what should i buy and how long i have to hold all those assets in order for me to make a profit? thank you

If you have to ask then you are not ready to invest in any market whatsoever, now this may seem to be too harsh but it is the truth, investing is not just about buying an asset and hope to get profits, you need a strategy that fits your needs, so before you invest in anything at all you need to wonder, what you want to achieve in the markets? How much risks are you willing to take? How long do you plant to hold your position in the market? And that is just the tip of the iceberg, this is why until you know all of this then recommending any asset or strategy is useless.

I think before leading to investment, you must first learn it starting from the basics.
I don't know which way you're thinking but asking what you should buy I think you're being too rash.
at least this is what irresponsible people use to trick people who will invest. Do you ask and tell someone something about the coin that you should invest in will you believe it 100 percent? of course you have to check the truth that is there.
start from the basics in learning even if you don't really understand it that's okay because it's a process, this is certainly better than being tricked

Before thinking of investing in any sector what one considers is how long you are willing to hold. Let's take the history down to how investment all began. Moving from the era of Real estate to stocks to metals to oil blocks and now digital assets we would agree those who made it big in all this investment options were those who had the patience to hold.

These assets dont need to be held for more than 5-8years. Of course you can do that too and you will appreciate the rise in value but you could possibly make more by selling it at a certain time and buying more such assets. Stocks might be the only exception to this, they give dividends and you will probably not sell but only buy more.

This kept me wondering why one would even think of investing if they don't have the patient to hold. If you can't develop the hold attitude then the best option is to do a physical business where you can monitor your profit and see them come in regularly. If it must be crypto then you must be willing to hold and wait

Nah, its a wrong narrative. Bitcoin is a deflationary currency. It brought with it a bigger idea of hodling. Compared to what you compared with above, like Real Estate, Oil, Gold, these can deprecate in value. A lot of risks are associated with them which can be avoided compared to investment in Bitcoin.

Real estate's location may become bad - how will you sell it for profit then? Bitcoin will not have this problem, but rather it's own problems of non-regulation, risks of being outlawed etc.

Actually the most troublesome business is physical business such as building a business rather than investing in stocks, BTC, and others. Because it will be faced with risks such as human resources, and other operations. So, it is simpler to study non-physical investments, we only need to strengthen our analytical skills to maintain our portfolio. Managing a portfolio only requires the ability to project more strategically than managing a business, you have to think technically and strategically.

The real challenge of hodling is not to know when to sell and this cause investors to sell too early. Hodling on the long run is profitable but it requires a lot of patience and believe to see it through . Really it is painful to wait for a level for selling while the price keeps dropping like it is happening currently

I am sure all those who were so strong in holding, they would have had the challenge in the very beginning in holding. Likewise, those who slowly learn or come to know by experience that by holding for long term would yield big, will hold. Many here, would have learnt and decided to hold after loosing a huge amount. I too learnt it. Yes here in crypto, holding will certainly be much advised.

Why though? I am not saying that you "have to" hold it for 5-8 years, but holding it for that long is also not a bad idea neither. I personally have been holding for nearly 2 years now and I am going to hold for another 8 years for sure. This doesn't mean that I do not want to have anything else, I will add in more and more investments and maybe some of them will be quicker and some of them could be long term.

This shows that if you want to get in, and make some profit and get out then that is fine however, at the same time you could get in and wait for 10 years and get out as well. Both of them are quite valid ways of approaching investment if you ask me.

When it comes to solid investment then a long term hold with earn you a much better profit and that is the same with BTCitcoin, but if you take the rest of the market you cannot have the same trust as majority of the projects may not succeed in the long run and hence you cannot have the same level of confidence like any other market.

If you still have the doubts, check out how many projects have failed in the last year alone, the numbers are alarmingly high. But if there is a solid project with good team then you can hope that they will fulfil what they started.

Not all the time as sometimes the market is more volatile and if we trade for the short term we can get a lot of opportunities to increase our profit. Also, we have to consider the coins that we are holding for the long term as some of them maybe perform well in the early stage but the devs could leave the project and it will result in a failure, knowing how to diversify your investment is the most important if we are talking of long term investment.

[dark1234]

every investment has a period of time to get a profit scheme and how much to take it but behind that we can fall and fall if we choose the wrong place to invest funds both in the crypto world or stocks, it's just that the crypto world is more risky unless we choose a coin or token that it's solit and reliable as said:

People get into investing thinking it's a method at easy, passive, income. It can be, given that you invest your funds properly and leave them in whatever market for a sufficient amount of time. There is a fine line between investing, and gambling (aka day trading) -- it hinges on how long you're willing to wait for a return on investment. Fortunately for crypto, holding is pretty simple, your funds can stay stagnant. A stock could theoretically tank the next day due to circumstances out of your control. Same could happen for crypto, but chances are significantly less than that of an individual company's stock due to decentralization. Considering this circumstance, funds in the stock market are constantly moving.

Looking well towards investment of cryptocurrency or any other sector of investment plan and investment platforms the different is very clear indecencies that we have long term investment and short term investment, relating to banking fixed deposit kind of investment, so all landed in the duration and time frame of how your investment will last before you can have return. So in bitcoin investment you most learn the ethics that long term investment yields positively in cryptocurrency than short term investment, this is applicable to banking investment via fixed deposit, the longer the investment duration the more the  profit or interest.. from another dimension while people get afraid of holding a coin for awhile is instabilities of it's regulations, l think that should be one of the major factor.

It is possible to get a good return on investment hold can increase the value of a person but you have to wait till the right time. It usually depends on the patience of the individual to invest of banks and companies that do more than hold bitcoin, you also need to evaluate the performance of their sector and individual products. The performance of stocks will be affected by a variety of factors that individual companies will have to contend with not just the price of bitcoin.

From the history only ponzis are profitable in short holding and all other real potential based opportunities are proven to provide big returns in long term holding hence digital assets cannot be an exception here. If you find any opportunity is profitable in long run then that must be categorized as legit and at the same time if short time profiting opportunities which are providing realistic returns like 2% to 10% then that also might be legit.

If you can't develop the hold attitude then the best option is to do a physical business

If you cannot remain patience enough then you cannot be a successful investor. Investing is the simplest way to enable your money to make money for you as you cannot keep earning till your end of days.

The explanation for that is rather simple, most people do not really know what they are doing when they decide to invest in the market of cryptocurrencies.

While I do not agree with the restrictions that are in place in traditional markets I cannot deny that they make sense, as it is a way to protect the population from losing their money to scammers making all kind of empty promises, does it sound familiar? Of course it does, because that is precisely what happens with so many scammers in this market that can get away with almost anything, as people do not know anything about investing in the first place.

Short holding may not be profitable in fair stuff, but day trading could be. Imagine a person who puts up 1000 dollars on a 100x leverage and opens a long, and the price goes up 10% the very same hour he does that, sounds unlikely I know but definitely possible. This is how you make a lot of money in a very short amount of time without it being a scam.

Now, would I suggest doing that? Of course not, you are going to lose 90% of the time and that 10% of the time doesn't really worth it and instead of losing "some" of your investment like spot trading, you are going to lose it all so it definitely doesn't worth it at all. I just wanted to show you that it is "possible", although it is definitely not worthy to take that risk.

Bitcoin was created with purpose of using it as medium of exchange. Now it seems more like a digital asset.

Well, investing is the art of patience. However, one thing we need to know that investing is not only a matter of patience, but also knowing about the potential of something we invest.
I quite agree with the OP, in the crypto world, patience is needed and also caution in choosing investments. if people can't afford to deal with that, it's better if they choose physical investments that they can control. because, when they enter the crypto world, it will be difficult to control their assets.

[XiBuf]

Holding Bitcoin and Ethereum is extremely profitable when investing without leverage, if you can effort to wait 1-2 year for perfect entry and then wait up to 5 years for the perfect exit not less than 400% of profit. But you need great volume of fiat to invest in.

[Rasa nanas]

You're totally right if anyone wants to put their money for investment over cryptocurrency.... And that's the best way for investment since it proves as a blessing for every traders because it gives people a high quality of return after some time all the people need to know os that patience is everything in the crypto world

no, in crypto patience is not everything. if you invest in big altcoins like BNB or SOL maybe patience is everything because the longer you hold the profit you will get the bigger. but if you invest in a new project or memecoin patience doesn't always end well because I often suffer losses from holding for too long. bottom line in crypto world patience is not the final decision to make a profit.
