What if there is no crypto bull run for next 10 years ?

[rachael9385]

Do you only buy Bitcoin for the sake of profit? if yes, that's why you're worried if there's no bull run for the next 10 years.

I buy Bitcoin isn't only for profit, but I buy Bitcoin for "become your own bank" and I don't trust fiat anymore due to centralization, that's why almost all of my wealth is Bitcoin and I'm not worried if there's no bull run. Privacy concern is an another reason too since the government and bank want to control everything.

Yes @Solosanz I agree on what you said to the OP, Bitcoin is not all about profits, if the op thinks that Bitcoin is all about profit that means all these while that the price of Bitcoin was dripping in a hurry the op was busy selling of his coins, to me I don't see Bitcoin as an investment but I take is as an online banking were I can save my moneys, is risky to save money in a some Fiat banks because long long time ago while I was still tender my parents told me a story about how a bank was closed down and the bank oners run away with her money up till date so since then I don't like keeping all my money in one particular place I like separating them like keeping some at a fiat bank and putting some in crypto (Bitcoin) so if anything happens to the fiat I will not be too worried about it because I have some I deposited on Bitcoin, is good to think about the profits we want from a particular investment but if we are always thinking about the profits it can put our minds in danger.

What if there is no crypto bull run for next 10 years ? Will you give up all your investments and get out of crypto because of this ?

Op even if there is no bull run for 50 yearys people will still use Bitcoin, besides Bitcoin has gone way too far with good reputations and in some placeses Bitcoin is been used as a payment method and I don't think those who use Bitcoin as a payment method in their businesses are expecting the bull run anytime soon.

What if there is no crypto bull run for next 10 years ? Will you give up all your investments and get out of crypto because of this ? Or do you you have even more broader horizon and can wait longer to see the next bull run ?

If that was to happen and we won't see a new ATH in the next decade, Bitcoin's ability as a store of value would be questionable.
But it kind of depends on what do you mean. We might never see another bull run (meaning a sharp increase in price) but we might see e.g. Bitcoin moving up slowly and gradually, not making anyone a millionaire overnight, but beating up inflation rates (i.e. becoming something similar to gold). Such scenario would probably be better for Bitcoin than the bull-run cycles, although it would attract a different type of investors.

i guess a lot of newcomers here are hoping such bull run, which for them is a sharp increase. but the possibility of going up is always there. it is only a matter of time. it may not be a sudden jump but high chance of increasing its value as the adoption is increasing also. we won't be staying in this range for years. because if it is, then, it means, little to none are going into this market.which is not the case.

Personally, I am very much positive with bitcoin future but we should also be prepared for all situations. Nothing can be guarantee in present times and we must also be prepared for worst situations.

Ten years is quite a lengthy period; I believe many investors might start to panic if the market remains in a bearish state. If that were to occur, I would consider moving my money elsewhere. True investors tend to keep their funds active, even when the cryptocurrency market is highly profitable during bullish periods.

However, I don't believe such a scenario will transpire. In fact, I think waiting for five years is already a significant duration, as whales are likely to strategize ways to stimulate the market, given its current susceptibility to manipulation.

[Nrcewker]

Bull run will definitely happen as bitcoins are limited in number. People will start buying the coins once they see the price is down. This will lead to the increase in demand to accumulate bitcoins. And window as the demand increases the price also goes up in order to meet the demand. Hence, after every bear market will see a bull run. So don’t get unnecessary thinkings in your head and keep on accumulating bitcoins when the price is down.

[Adbitco]

There could be another means if no bull for 10 years, just as few people already said they may invest in stock., But however, cryptocurrency or Bitcoin at large is far above profits making, when you focused on the real purpose why bitcoin is created you wouldn't get weak or panicked over the price being stagnant of not making progress. And I think this may create lots of opportunities for people stack enough volume of it to wait till after next 10 years as you said but in other hand, I can say that the buying and selling cryptocurrency may not be profitable since most people actively involved themselves with scalping and trading this might not be profitable. The rise and fall of bitcoin is what leads to effective trading and also people making profits from it.

[bittraffic]

10 years will really be a long bear but since you have already been holding since this bottom, it wouldn't be worth it to sell anymore unless you really need the money for a purpose. You just have to wait when that time would come or wait til bullrun.

Unfortunately, more people are into crypto for the purpose of making a profit. You can't blame them after all people promote crypto as a hedge against the inflation that is affecting everyone.

[Lucius]

There's two sides to this story. Let's assume we do not see any bull run for next 10 years, but we do not see any bear run as well. Which means the price of Bitcoin will stabilize. That will be great for Bitcoin because then Bitcoin will be used for transactions and not for investments. It will create adoption opportunities for the merchants. Price stabilization is a very important thing for transactions. An unstable currency is not a great mode of payment, but when it stabilizes, then a lot of merchants will consider it as a mode of payment.

I think that we have already managed to overcome the problem of price volatility with BTC long ago when it comes to payments with something called payment processors - and they are the simplest way for the buyer to pay the amount of goods or services at the given price at a given moment, and for the seller to receive the requested amount in fiat.

It is not very realistic to expect that the price of BTC in relation to fiat will stabilize to the extent that payments would go directly according to the model BTC address - > BTC address, as well as that price stabilization would have such a positive impact on merchants, because they even offer a lot that can be bought/paid with BTC, but there is too little interest from customers.

The problem is that the vast majority of those involved in BTC do it only for profit, whether it's an average Joe or companies worth billions or even trillions of dollars.

[JoyMarsha]

OP what you should be aware of is that people invest in bitcoin ordinarily during the bear market and they seem to gain their profits little by little through DCA before the bull run even starts. But If happens that there is no bull run in the next 10 years, I will still have bitcoin as my store of value without stressing out about it. What I will be doing is applying a DCA method if the need should be.

Great question.

To all that think this can not happen it can.

Study gold from 1990 to 2003

It stayed in a range of 200 to 400 usd.

So Btc could stay in a 20k to 40k range for a real long time if the rulers of the world make it so.

For me I mine for profit if all profit fully dies out I am done on large scale. Ie 200k-watts an hour is my large scale.

I would cut back to 3-5 kwatts an hour.

Well it will make more sense to those who have learned the DCA approach to Bitcoin accumulations and are constantly staying ahead of the market at all times,  Bitcoin is always best for long-term holdings and that is why you are advised to hold an amount you can afford to hold for a long time,  and this has to be specific between the range of 5 to 10 years.

So if there is no Bitcoin bull run for the next 10 years,  those set of Bitcoin holders will still be in a better position since they have to learn all the way up and down at each point.

Bitcoin taught me to wait. Thanks to Bitcoin, I learned how to invest, how to research and how to improve myself. If there is no crypto bull run for the next 10 years, I will count what I have learned as profit and move on.

I believe in Bitcoin and I think the bull run is coming. Many institutions and individuals understood the message that Bitcoin has proven itself and will continue. At the same time, we know that the risks are in every investment. If we say that we are improving ourselves, we should know that we need to take precautions for such situations.

The absence of a Bitcoin bull run will kill every excitement in the crypto industry. I've seen how excited the market becomes whenever price spikes. There's often so much noise at gatherings and on social media, characteristic of this moment. Notably, that's the opposite of the calm and hush tone we witness during bear rally.

However, that's not to say that if there's no bull rally the industry will collapse. That's far from the truth. If the market is ranging or in deep decline, traders will be happier for it but investors will be the ultimate losers. Those who trade Futures will take a position to short the hell out of Bitcoin if that happens.

[xSkylarx]

People still continue buying it like no one can predict the price of Bitcoin, and right now people are still buying this as an investment and hoping that we will be able to ride it. But to answer your question, it will stay what people are doing right now. As time goes on, lots of countries will adopt it, and people will still be hoping for a bull run. No matter what happens because of the adoption, there will be a bull run in the upcoming years.

[rat03gopoh]

If that can be confirmed, then yes I'll release the investment. But not completely out of crypto.
The thing is, people can expect the bull run to start about this month, or next month, etc. until it becomes an infinite loop of speculation. You may not even realize that time has passed 2 decades.

Such scenario would probably be better for Bitcoin than the bull-run cycles, although it would attract a different type of investors.

There won't be any new ath in the price, but it is possible to see good number of people using it. There is a huge user base that have avoided bitcoin, just because the price is volatile. When the market of bitcoin is stable, those who had been waiting for the market need to make use of the present.

More countries would legalise bitcoin in the future, however the market being run over the demand to supply the acceptance mind among common people will increase. For majority of the people they never understand what is bitcoin. First education and then teaching about the market moves were the best to make a person know about the value of Market being volatile.

[MFahad]

People that are a part of cryptocurrency know better that how to maintain their emotions during Bull and bear season and as now there is dump in price so there will be different thoughts on coming situations.

Those who trust bitcoin will never be disappointed but we don't know that how longer this situations will be so it depends on the duration of bear season. May be some holder wait for three of four years and then their hopes become end so surely they will close the journey of their success through cryptocurrency.

To avoid such losses a person should not invest too much money that he cannot bear the loss, as today we see bitcoin as a successful coin but tomorrow is not notice by anyone so try be prepared for tomorrow also.

At the same time, we know that the risks are in every investment. If we say that we are improving ourselves, we should know that we need to take precautions for such situations.

Seeing price pattern of Bitcoin for last ten years, I would say there are plenty of folks out there who will be happy to wait for 10 years even if there is no bull run. When Price of Bitcoin was stable at 30k$, to my surprise I keep on reading here that Bitcoin has gone bearish since there is no more upward price moment. To many people even price of 30k$ was not a big number. There is no trading sector in this world where price only go up. Upward, stability and downward price moment are part of every trading market and so is Bitcoin market.

[el kaka22]

This is not possible and there will be one. Why? Because the bull run is just people buying, and the fact that bitcoin is not going to die anytime soon by the looks of it shows that the trading world consists of buying and selling, you can't just keep going down more and more, it has to go up sometime to make a room and that's how trading is done. It means that we are going to end up with a result where a bull will happen and we are going to make a profit out of that as well.

Hopefully it will not be a small one and we go ballistic like we did previous times. I am sensing that it will start about late of 2024 and early of 2025 and end at somewhere middle of 2025 for sure, that's the realistic estimation of the next bull run.

Preparing for bad situations is part of risk control over investing, which is good. But to answer your question, can you tell me about how much increase you doubt in the next 10 years?

Some predictions and speculations are very reasonable to hope for, of course some are not. If you expect bitcoin price to break $200k - $300k in the next 10 years, then I think that's still reasonable. If you expect the bitcoin price to break through $1B in 10 years, then that's too low a chance to be true. Of course, the exit plan can be adjusted according to market conditions, of course you have to understand enough about when is the best time to exit and take profit, even though you can never be patient with the price you expect.

It is quite said that you are much more positive but deep inside, you are still thinking negatively and asking What IF?
Indeed, you are right that there is no guarantee but if we consider the volatility of the market, even without a bull run investors still have the chance to earn a profit from every correction. It was not really necessary to have a bull run but what we need is to have a sustainable market. Those who trust Bitcoin will remain hopeful and still hold their Bitcoin.
