Bitcoin investment a test of faith and patience.

[Rustam Meraj]

It is in Bitcoin investment that I have seen people learning to be patient without being forced, nor talked into by convincing them to believe that Bitcoin investment requires a long term investment journey. They all get to know about that by themselves that someone can't be a successful investor if they can't be patient, and to trust the Bitcoin price movement

Current data shows that, although there has been Extreme Fear mood and recent money moving out of ETF but number of long term holders has indeed gone up.
I think that market is in cleaning step at moment when 50% drop off highest price ever is serving stress test that is sorting gamblers out of true investors. With historic big moment of 20 millionth Bitcoin being mined coming in March 2026, move towards total shortage is returning, most helpful way to hitting guessed goal of comeback of 150000 by end of year is to trust code and 15 year path.

Everytime I am listenining about people investing in bitcoin they misuse the term... since they should say "gambling" on the value of bitcoin for making more FIAT.
Faith? Patience? All of this (on my opinion) is far away from the reality of btc.

Here you don't need to have "faith".  Here you have blockchain. This is your faith.
Patience? At a certain point this is the basic FOR ALL INVESTMENT. If you are going to sell fast, if you are going to not follow a right time, a right management it mathematically you can achieve nothing from this.

I think blockchain is proof that things are documented, but the belief is in history repeating itself and that it keeps happening. So they believe in the value that will continue to rise. I think what's interesting is the value; most people don't even care about the technology as long as the value is good.

Patience is the best asset, but sometimes being patient is not enough if they don't understand when to exit the market. So sometimes they don't understand the best moment to get the best profit. The best asset is mastering the basics of investing and being able to apply them.

....but the belief is in history repeating itself...

It's really hard (and I would say just impossible) that we can see again the huge and crazy increases verified on the first years of life of bitcoin.
History repeat itself for sure (see bear markets ) but this not means that "will repeat in the same way".
Also, the increase in the value nowadays has been drived by new factors, and we don't know in the future if these can bring higher values or not...

... Because from what I can see when ever the price of Bitcoin is down it puts a test on somebody's faith and patience level to believe in the long term benefits associated with investing in Bitcoin .

You make it sound religious with the "faith" mention. Certainly, it's not. Every form of investment should be seen as a calculated risk, not based or relied on faith. Indeed, we know that for an investment to give a good ROI (Return on Investment) it has to take a while. We don't put money into an investment today and want to liquidate that investment next week. It doesn't work that way, especially with Bitcoin. Yes one can get lucky with memes overnight (I had to add that) but definitely not with Bitcoin. It's the same way one's investment can vanish overnight with memes but that can't happen with Bitcoin.

I agree that Bitcoin tests people’s patience, especially during big price drops. But I think it’s less about faith and more about understanding what you’re holding.

If someone only buys because the price is going up, volatility will scare them out quickly. But if they understand Bitcoin’s limited supply and long-term purpose, the ups and downs become easier to handle.

At the end of the day, it’s still a risky asset, so people should invest responsibly and not based purely on emotions.

I think faith and patience makes sense when it comes to Bitcoin profit.  Let us see, with faith, comes trust, if one does not trust Bitcoin he will not hodl it and will have no patience waiting for the right time to sell.

Here you don't need to have "faith".  Here you have blockchain. This is your faith.

Remember we need to trust the blockchain to use it.  And in market, we need to trust on the market performance to hodl it.  Without trust, no one will use or buy Bitcoin.

Patience? At a certain point this is the basic FOR ALL INVESTMENT. If you are going to sell fast, if you are going to not follow a right time, a right management it mathematically you can achieve nothing from this.

Indeed, since it is basic for investment, Bitcoin investment is also a kind of investment, it needs patience to be able to see a good profit in the end.  With this, we can say patience is also related to Bitcoin investment.

If BTC is risky, I don't know what to say about the rest of em.
