Must you lose before you gain in Bitcoin investment?

[Hewlet]

My biggest fear is losing my hard earn to something as volatile, vulnerable and uncertain as btc. What's the possibility you invest without losing. Is it guaranteed in this kinda market?

the possibility that you will invest and not loose is by being patient with the volatile nature of btc.

It's good you already know that btc is volatile and that investing in it is not an 100% guarantee that loss will not come in but you've to invest wisely, invest an amount you can afford to loose even when though no one want to loose any invested funds. Hold on to your invested btc and don't be moved by whatever fluctuations you experience along the way, wait till the price increases above what you've bought and then you can decide to sell it out or keep holding on to it. If you follow it up this way, I doubt you will experience any loss.

It's not that bitcoin or alt coin will make you a millionaire at all because with bitcoin investment you have to be patient if you can't be patient you will never be profitable and there are some strategies to invest in bitcoin if you can't use this strategy  You will never succeed in investing. You must invest some time patiently to get success and then sell at the right time. It is not necessary that you will lose in bitcoin investment but the person who will lose must not have enough knowledge about it.

The losing part before gaining isn't with only Bitcoin, it cuts across all forms of trading. The reason it's so is because it tends to enthrone carefulness while investing as we learn from experience of past loss. That thing they say about experience being the best teacher is true. Even those who gain by stroke of luck the first time they attempt it are still likely to lose because they will definitely be carried away and throw caution to the wind. OGs in this industry understand the place of greed and are less to the temptation of getting caught by it than noobs. So, we cut our profits and run than allowing it turn to loss. Otherwise, the circle of loss repeats itself.

It depend how good you are in the starting of your Bitcoin investment, because there are some people they must lose before they will start gaining from their Bitcoin investment and the progress of learning the Bitcoin investment will later turn them to become an expert in the investment not to experience losses again. The moment you know how to hold your Bitcoin long in your investment, it will be difficult for you to lose in your investment because you already know that if you hold till the bullish season appear you will going to make a passive income. I will advice you not to be afraid of losing in your investment because sometimes, losing in your Bitcoin is part of learning but continue losing is very bad which you need to learn more before investing your money in Bitcoin.

You can tell your friends that bitcoin investment is for everyone who wants to. There is no compulsion to start investing in bitcoin, and people who want to can invest in bitcoin with little money.
Before they start investing in bitcoin, they have to learn many things, including when they can start investing.
Indeed, there are losses that they will experience before they can make a profit, but those losses will not be there forever. Luck will come when the price starts to increase so they will see the size of the profit.
Investing in bitcoin without experiencing losses is very difficult, but things will change, and you will get those profits. The important thing is that you can patiently wait for the profit to arrive and when the profit arrives, you only need to take the profit at the price you want.

Questions like this has popped out in several occasions and arguments concerning Bitcoin investment. My friends will say you must lose before you gain or rather have more experience investing in Bitcoin.

For me, the most appropriate meaning is not that you have to experience a loss first, but a more appropriate term is that you must always be ready to experience the worst situation, namely loss. Because, for example, if you want to profit from Bitcoin investment, you have to make a loss first, which feels a bit strange. Because whoever is a bitcoin investor who wants to make a loss, of course everyone also wants to make a profit. So the term Bitcoin investment must make a loss first, in my opinion this term is a bit wrong.

Profit and loss is what is expected in every business venture; Bitcoin or no Bitcoin investment. Loss could be the anchor that triggers your zeal to invest more and gather more experience to avoid further losses. On the other hand, loss can be the end of the road for you in the business venture, cos it may lead to depression and heartbreak. But I have come to realize, looking at the nature of Bitcoin and other altcoins, I have learnt not to invest what you cannot afford to lose. I stand a chance to be corrected

[Blitzboy]

Indeed, "no pain, no gain" is often used in investing discussions, especially about Bitcoin. But this notion oversimplifies a complex reality. Learning from losses can be helpful, but its not necessary for Bitcoin investment success. Bitcoin's volatility scares low-income earners, yet it presents opportunity.

Smart Bitcoin investing doesnt require much money. Decisions should be strategic and informed. Diversification reduces risks. Also important is ongoing market trend education. Today, knowledge is power, and staying educated can greatly decrease loss.

Can you invest without losing? Not assured, but possible with careful strategy and market knowledge. Remember that Bitcoin is a new technology with huge growth potential. Supporting Bitcoin involves believing in its long-term value. Many have transformed little investments into large wealth with patience and skill.

You do not have to necessarily lose while investing in cryptocurrencies in order for you to say you have had an experience with it already i am assuming that those people who have said that only wants to say that we shall not always assume that once we invest in crypto we are going to automatically gain profit right away

We always have to find the right balance between wanting to avoid mistakes and not being too depressed once we make some mistakes

[peter0425]

This is not only iN bitcoin but in all investments , you invest when there is already a deep understanding and support and not just to Jump because you are being lured and told this and that.

Your money, Your obligation.

there will  be no others that will give a damn about what you will do or act because investment is our soul decisions to make so Invest in Bitcoin when you have learned what needed to .

[kotajikikox]

Many says Experience is the best teacher so maybe that is correct? sometimes for us to learn it must be a hard ways , and that is what Losing is all about . this will also enhanced our knowledge and capacity to understand never letting happen again so yes  I know for real .
I have to lose in investing in shitcoin first before learning to never trust those coins though this is far from the topic as it tackles Bitcoin investing but the thought is almost the same.

It is not entirely true if you say that Bitcoin investment is only for rich people. Everyone can invest in Bitcoin and if you are talking about losses, I suspect your friend is a trader, which for me is like gambling with your money. I suggest you to become a long term Hodler and do the DCA method to invest in Bitcoin. This is important because those who find success are usually long-term Hodlers.

If its how it work, Bitcoin isn't for a low income earner as well as not gonna make you rich when you can't invest something tangible to it. On the other hand people are been made big and wealthy in same program. What does it in tell, cos am quite sure people had already known what's going to happen in the market in the nearest future to give them the strong mindset to invest porously.

I can't take your word for it if you buy and invest in bitcoins at low prices. If you buy and invest in Bitcoin at a very low price and the market continues to rise from there, you may be profitable in the short term. However, if you want to hold a long-term Bitcoin investment, you may suffer some losses if the market turns upside down. But your bitcoin investment is sure to recover if you hold it for a long time. You have to take risks in life, if you don't know how to take risks, you can never be successful. Those who have taken risks in life have achieved more success in life.

This is not all the time, sometimes you gain from your investment without losing. Yes, this is true that every time you don't lose before earning or gaining profits.

We enter into market thinking we will get going and start earning right from learning something but this isn't the case and this thought or mindset only leads to the loss. We lose we learn properly and then execute.

I personally invested in stock market for long term, I didn't face this at that time. But then I thought of trading daily, I started learning and started by completing it but I failed this time because I was overconfident, lack of knowledge(Technical Analysis). If we are losing, it is due to our own fault.

Find it, sort it and the losing probability will surely decrease. I cannot say that this will never happen but this will not happen everytime.
But yes as many explained above losing or failing does teach us. It is hard but sometimes human brains/pshycology really needs it, to understand the value of anything in this World.

Re: Must you lose before you gain in Bitcoin investment?

No.
There might be some investors here who experienced losing first before gaining when investing in Bitcoin, but I will say no as a user who gained first before losing money.

I might consider myself lucky because when I started to learn Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, I had the opportunity to earn some tokens (through bounty campaigns here), and luckily I sold them for Bitcoin. On that alone, I can say that I already gained Bitcoin because I didn't invest any of my money into it, but only my time promoting that project. From there, I continued earning some tokens, converting them into Bitcoin, and gaining through it. Maybe the only time I lost was when I didn't sell all of my Bitcoin holdings during the 2021 bull run.

For sure, most here experienced losses before gains because they invested their own money to buy Bitcoin. That wasn't the case for me since I got my Bitcoins for free so I gained 100%.

This is not a rule in Bitcoin that you must lose before you gain in Bitcoin. but there are of both losing nad gaining in bitcoin.. it is possible that you will gain without losing and it is also possible that you'll loose everything without gaining anything. it all depends on your Knowledge, skills, and the place you invest as well as how well you manage your investment.
Speaking of Low-income earners. I don't agree with that. Bitcoin is for everyone. everyone can earn profit from it doesn't matter how much they invest. only the right skills and knowledge you need to execute a good plan and manage your investment properly.

[Learn Bitcoin]

No really. Nobody can give you a guarantee of profit, and nobody can say that you must lose. If they say, it's the wrong statement. This is not true at all. You may lose if you play with it, like trying to trade on exchanges, double your bitcoin by gambling, or try crypto doubler or hyip websites. Most crypto newbies fall into traps when they see some nice offers. But whenever you see some offers that are too good to be true, they will likely be scams!

If you want to know mine, I didn't buy Bitcoin. I have earned most of the holding from several signature campaigns and some crypto projects where I worked with them. I lost too much in my first bull run because of my inexperience. But I hope it won't happen this time.

Going by your post title: No you mustn't lose but it's an inevitable aspect of crypto you should hold in mind when investing so you don't get fumed by FUD,s in the future not to make hasty wrong  decisions about your investment. There are investors that started with a profiting foot that's just their luck but one thing I understand about bitcoin is that you just don't lose, you don't at all I'm as much as it's a long term investment plan you have set in place for yours.
Bitcoin may be volatile but it's ain't vulnerable and as for guarantee your chances of making profit is 3x bigger than that of making a loss if it's for omg term.

Every financial investment involves risk. No one can ever say that he will get sure profit from his investment. But who will invest by taking this risk will face profit or loss by the investment. As Bitcoin is the most volatile currency and has high value, an investor has to take the highest risk and gain adequate knowledge otherwise the chances of losing are high. But it cannot be said that everyone who invests will lose. Even if a person has relatively less knowledge, if he invests in Bitcoin right now for long term, he may not face loss. Everyone who want to invest in trading business must be prepared to lose. Moreover, I will never say loss in the case of those who will lose at the beginner level, it can also be called a type of investment.

Yes there's no sure investment for profit making only as risk is usually involved in any investment but there are a number of things you can invest in which the probability of getting profit in the end is very large with a slim chances of making a loss and bitcoin is one of such things to invest in. There are several other cryptocurrencies that are of higher volatility than bitcoin for bitcoin isn't the most volatile cryptocurrency. What I can tell a newbie wanting to invest in bitcoin is that they should invest only amount of money they can afford to lose and have patience on without been tempted to withdraw out of FUDs.

Losing is not a requirement for future gains. If you lose, that's because you lack the knowledge that is crucial in your bitcoin investment, and not because you lose first before you gain. What you put in your investment is what you reap later on. So if you invest without understanding your investment from the very beginning, then its possible that you will gain more losses than profits. Profits determines your success, and you won't be successful without knowing your investment well.

There is a little bit of truth to that because hardly anyone has been used to this insane volatility within the Bitcoin market when they first got in touch with cryptocurrencies. It was way harder when you have been around like a decade or more than that because back then the biggest crashes that we see happening in weeks these days could happen in a few hours back then.

When I got into the market I had fat fingers all the time and I was sitting at the buy and sell button without interruption as I thought I have to. When I made my first little mistakes because I sold too early as I thought it must crash any second because it went up quite a bit, I learned that HODL is the way to go at least for the biggest portion of your portfolio.

If people like to trade because they do it also for fun reasons and to stay in the loop, splitting up the portfolio should be the first thing to do. Put some Bitcoin aside that you never touch and keep some that you want to play around with and enjoy having at your disposal for some quick trades, but really don't touch 100% of it and try to time the market. But if you do, your post will apply and you will most likely learn your lesson.
