Who is actually a Bitcoin investor

[purinZ14]

To simply say, anyone can be an investor as long as they hodl and they believe its value will rise over time as to compare to those who use btc for a short amount of time like using it for transactions, etc. There’s also a clear difference between traders and investors. Investors do the long game while traders try to make profit off of the volatility of the market which happens very quickly opposed to investing which can last for years.

rather, the term is suitable for those who bought bitcoin for money and hold it for a long time and will sell it at the price they want. And the one who has bitcoin in his wallet and spends it and somehow uses it also falls under the category of investor, but the user is likely to be right. Investors usually make few moves, most often it is a purchase and a final sale.

When someone has a particular wallet which he spends Bitcoins from can he be considered a Bitcoin investor?
Or does the term investor refer only to those who hodl Bitcoin?

Look at the definition of investment and then you will know who is a "Bitcoin investor". When you invest on something, you hope for the value to appreciate in the long run and then you sell it for profit. How can it be called investing in bitcoin if you are actually buying bitcoin to use it as a regular day day transaction currency? You spend it, you no longer will be making any profit. So yes, the term investor refers to only those who are holding bitcoin with the hope of making profit when the price goes up. It is the same for everything you invest on.

It will just be called as currency if you intend to use it for transactions or any related activities does not include investment. Maybe a proper term for people like that is bitcoin user and not bitcoin investor. The only difference about bitcoin investors they are there as you said aiming to accumulate good profits either for holding it  or invest it on other investments. Maybe some people got confuse about it but they should not think about it since its not really important matter to discuss.

I believe that many of us if not all, use Bitcoin in many ways so that our bitcoins serve us with different use cases. Sometimes we use bitcoin as a digital currency for transactions. Other times, we use bitcoins for trading and investment.

In my opinion, it's hard to say what Bitcoin is and it's harder to get agreement with others about this classification. Just say Bitcoin is Bitcoin and you're free to use bitcoin with any use cases it has. Because you will not be winner if you argue with another person who does not use bitcoins in a same way you do.

You have bitcoin, I have bitcoin, so fingers cross and smile together.

It seems to me that everything is simple here, an investor is someone who buys bitcoin for the long term, while he understands when this is the best time, he waits for this when the bear market comes and tries to use the accumulation phases for this. Also, the investor most likely understands when he will sell, he determines the exit points in advance.

If bitcoin is simply used as a means of payments, or for trading, short-term, or even medium-term, then this is not an investment, it is something else.

In my terms I will classify investors into two categories minor and major investors, those that look for short-term gains from 1 month – 1 year falls under the category of a minor investor, whereas a real investor is someone who does an investment based on a futuristic outcome, so to call yourself a real Bitcoin investor you must have the ability to buy and hold Bitcoin for mid-term to long term, or you are a long-term holder already regardless of the number of Bitcoin that you own.

I think that the name investors implies that it's someone who hold Bitcoin or who invest in bitcoin both in long term and short-term and investor is only in cryptocurrency investment that someone can be called investor because we have different business that someone can investor for such as real estate management and crude oil business and gold mining business, even importation and exportation of goods and services are the major thing people consider as investor, because you are expecting a profit in any of what I mentioned if you plant your money in any

Bitcoin is a versatile asset, and whether it becomes an investment or a currency depends on the use case, I find it unnecessary when we are trying to figure out who is an investor and who is a bitcoin user. But undeniably, the people who know and own bitcoin are mostly investors, very few people use bitcoin as a regular means of payment. People only use bitcoin as a payment method to experience or when they can't pay with fiat. Not too many people see it as a currency.

If we look at various definitions of investors (I focused on popular dictionaries and Investopedia), it seems that it should be a person or organization that puts money into something with an expectation of financial returns. The profit may never come, but someone is still an investor if the goal for to gain profit. Investors are usually separated from traders because traders actively use their capital for short-term gain, whereas investors are focused on a long-term gain. Considering that, anyone who sets aside some BTC and expects to gain profit this way in the long run is a Bitcoin investor. That doesn't mean that this person can't use some BTC for other purposes, and it also doesn't mean there's any financial threshold to pass because it counts as an investment.

Whether he invested his bitcoins for 1 minute in those private transactions, I think is a pretty broad investment opinion based on our knowledge. Personally, I always see people who come into contact with this market, they are all investors, do you have to own bitcoin to be considered investing? I think no, when you take the time to learn about it you are investing your own knowledge in it, and you are already a difference from the crowd, and the ability to put money into it whether it is or not is a matter of materiality as well as the decision of each person. Try asking some people who started making money in this space from zero what they need to get there, knowledge brings bitcoin, it's happened and is still happening in this forum, truth 100%.

[Wildwest]

For me who already have bitcoin and they can get profits or losses, of course it has been called an investor, because when he first wants to have bitcoin, of course he has to spend capital either following a project or directly using cash, even though he does not do a swing trader, day trader but he invests in a long term and he does wait when profits can be obtained, So investors have their own ways to invest.

Bitcoin investors basically refer to those who trade in bitcoins and invest in bitcoins hoping to make a profit. It is not just a small amount of trading in bitcoins to become a bitcoin investor, but becoming a bitcoin investor requires a certain care. Many times people buy bitcoins and declare themselves as investors when in fact to be an investor one must be well informed. A buyer can be considered an investor when he invests in Bitcoin with the intention of holding it for a long period of time. A person who buys and holds bitcoins and then sells them again within a short period of time should not be considered an investor.

Minor investors may get profit,but their loss will be acceptable one for them.Because they will inverse their money in little amount and the loss will be very less compared to other investors.The Major investors will look into inverse in huge amount and try to become a big whale to certain projects.Because investment should be bigger to get good money returns from the investment,even at the bear market.Some day traders will earn huge money at the time of bear market by short term selling.

That's right, people don't become Bitcoin investors by just buying Bitcoin and putting in their wallets to be using for transactions or use for a transaction. Anyone that wants to be an investor will always know it from the start, they would know their purpose for being in crypto, and they would always be interested things that has to do with investment and such.

Basically, people who want to invest on bitcoin should know what is the purpose of their bitcoin purchase. There are people who are mainly use it for transaction purposes just like what you said and there are people who buy bitcoin to hold and to make profit in the long run. There are also traders who flip bitcoin for fiat profit also gamblers that use bitcoin to do their gambling activities. There are a lot of reason why people buy bitcoin but I personally believe that an investors are the one who really hold their bitcoin until are satisfied to sell it for a profit.

Bitcoin investor is actually that person who put some amount of money into bitcoin for the purpose of investment and take benefit out of it and it does not matter that how much you put. One can put little amount as well as larger sum of money depends on what he can afford but a person with saved amount in Bitcoin is a bitcoin investor.

As a person put money for minimum timing then he will not be called as investor but instead he will be a trader because investor possess patience and keep their savings amount in Bitcoin for longer time to reap benefit during Bull season.

Everyone has different goals for buying bitcoins but my perspective regarding bitcoin investors aims to hold bitcoins indefinitely because according to market analysis that the bitcoin market has the opportunity to earn profits in the long term based on analysis in terms of achieving the price of each halving. If someone is committed to becoming a wise investor, make sure you use funds from investment allocations without being tied to other funds, because unless you do not determine investment management, you will not be prepared to accept the risk of loss if the market price does not meet expectations.

I think investment is something different. Investors "play" their sums of money so that they get "fiat" profit continuously. Some play long-term, some try to get extra money fast, but the key difference is dynamics: the investment process is more dynamic. As for storing BTC and spending BTC, it's more like saving, not investing. Investment is a game, often risky, while long-term hodling and withdrawing when needed is not that risky...

Your explanation of "investor" is great, but lets take it up a notch. You see, in the fast-paced world of Bitcoin, the line between a trader and an investor is often unclear. Can someone who holds BTC because they believe in the technology and dont want to make money right away still be called an investor? Or are they just a hoarder with moral leanings?

Taking your idea a step further, if we zoom out and look at Bitcoin's potential effect on global finance from a macro-perspective, arent we all, inadvertently, "investors" in this paradigm shift? Even if you only have a small amount of BTC, your participation in the community helps it grow. So, maybe its not about the amount or the reason, but rather the shared belief in a free economic future.

Many people have replied to your post, hopefully you will be helped by all of our friends who have replied to your post a lot,

In my opinion, what is called a BTC investor is a person who holds BTC for a long or short time.

But in this case, everyone has a different opinion.
