Since bitcoin is a volatile asset then you can’t predict what it will be in the future do their is no certainty about it  the truth is if you are investing with the mindset of holding for a long time then you have a high chance of being in a better position, because you are rather focused on building up your assets than thinking about the possibility of it failing you.

I would say no bitcoin have never failed to reward long term investors because even when you have reached your desire target, a good investor can only chose to sell some part of his investment and still continue holding so with that he will only be selling at a favorable time.

Most people who say they lost money on Bitcoin were either trying to make quick profit or they were not careful about where they stored it, i can even bet alot of them probably just misplaced access to their money and lost faith in recovering it, like the people who actually sat down, bought and held their Bitcoin patiently and didn't panic during the dips, cause the dips mixed with online scams, that also made people to second guess "online money" but those who actually held are the ones who came out smiling. This exact pattern has repeated itself over and over in Bitcoin's history, I'm sure you can confirm it.

The thing is that you have to allow Bitcoin work for you, you must exercise that patience before you can see good returns else you just become the unfortunate ones in Its history path.

Exactly, I like the take profit without selling all your holding part . Many have that mindset of wanting to sell all their bitcoin after reaching their goal , there are principles you can apply when taken profit from bitcoin is for you to figure out which work for you the best .

Though taken full profit (like selling all your holding) won’t be a smart move because there will be a time when $100k will look the recent $10k range , a range that will hard bitcoin to fall back to . So you selling with the aim of buying back will only lead to purchasing at high prices.

Bitcoin has never failed those investors who chose to be patient,the only set of individuals that bitcoin keep failing are the ones that have refused to be patient with their bitcoin investment.As it known quite well that they’re weak investors that easily get panicked during bearish periods,there’s absolutely no reason to be overly panicked because when you’re overly panicked you might become a prey to those bitcoin critics on the internet that share false narratives about bitcoin just to gain more followers and likes.So the best thing to do is to just hodl your coins without minding the bear market because bitcoin would definitely pump in the future.

Yeah investors who are patient enough to hold for a entire market circle, Bitcoin has never failed them, but impatient  and panic in selling and poor risk management are major reasons some investor fail, not Bitcoin itself.
Investor who bought at the market highest point and sold during a downtrend are likely to lost but investing through multiple circles historically recovers and make profit.
Bitcoin has rewarded long-term holders, and it works best when realistic expectations, proper security and patience are applied.
Investor shouldn't assume success is guaranteed because it has happened review time.
We should also look to know if investor today, can be patient enough to receive reward history demonstrate may come.

I don't think anyone who has held Bitcoin for a long time has lost any money. Now, many of them think long term as one year or two years but I think long term is at least three years or more and we should sell Bitcoin when the price is right, Some people hold for 3 year then sell then buy when price drops Most of the people who have held Bitcoin for less than two years are the ones who have lost money.

I have actually read the history of bitcoin, and how investors have been rewarded. When you invest in bitcoin for a period of 5-10 years, this is really a long term strategy, and I have not in person, heard any one complaining of being at loss within this period of years.
I do hear people complaining of loosing money in bitcoin. But when you find out very well, you will understand that these people who looses money on bitcoin are actually traders who seek for short term profit or people who store their Bitcoin in an exchange, and are affected by hackers or exchange failure.

Bitcoin has a bull circle, and historically bitcoin experiences new all time high in every bull season, and this trend has never changed in the history of bitcoin.

There are people who have actually failed investing in bitcoin. These people are impatient investors, they look for quick money from bitcoin, and are those people who are actually impatient with their investment.

Every genue investment reward investors on the long run, and this is actually what bitcoin does, and this brought about my question if Bitcoin has ever failed in rewarding patient investors?

Your opinions are welcomed here.

It is necessary for Bitcoin investors to understand how bitcoin works before they actually engage themselves investing in bitcoin. Bitcoin investors understand that Bitcoin is rewarding, and they can make money from it, but not every investor knows what it takes to become successful in bitcoin investing. I have been in a situation where I was gambling with my bitcoin investment because of lack of proper knowledge, and proper research. But today, reverse is now the case because I have learned, and understand what it takes to become a successful Bitcoin investor.
Bitcoin has ever remained very rewarding, and when you understand the investment skills and requirements, you will never make losses, and some of these skills investors need to become successful in bitcoin investing are such as patience in your investment, and security of your private wallet with these measures, gaining reward in your bitcoin journey is sure.

With the history and growth of Bitcoin it is obvious that no one has lost in Bitcoin for holding for long or years because the difference between then and now is quite huge and it is a positive one not a negative one. And for your information I don't really consider 3 years of holding Bitcoin long because sometimes it can take Bitcoin a year or more to be consolidating and sometimes it can get to a new all time high and still Dip and start consolidating just as it is doing for some weeks or months now and as such long term should be between a period of 4 or 5 and above.

Bitcoin investment has come a long way and till date I have not heard from any investor complaining of being failed by Bitcoin investment unless those trades or short term investors who are neither here nor there in the market they just flow with the market changes, no plans no direction, to me the only people that should be referred to as an investor are the long term investors because they are into real investment not buying and selling this people are role models, investing from 5-10 years is not a joke even with the nature of Bitcoin they still stands firm till their determined time where the are awarded awesomely. Bitcoin investment is a long term investment and awards those who follows the right techniques.

Bitcoin is always profitable in the long term but that depends on what your long term is. If your long term is 6 months - 1 year, you may not see significant returns on your investment. A more sustainable approach would be to hodl for 3-5 years, and if you aren’t able to hodl longer than that, you can sell at different ATHs in that timeframe.
That's the real truth about it, because being profitable in Bitcoin investment depends on how your plan yourself. At least 5 years and above is pretty enough to get what you want, because many investors normally get twisted by trying to use a few mouths or so to get rich quick through Bitcoin, knowing fully well that Bitcoin requires a long-term process.

However, it is very important for us to always have a long-term goal so that you don't end up regretting it in the end.

Searching from the history of Bitcoin growth till date bitcoin has not failed those who have been holding for long-term, the only people bitcoin has failed are those who are not patient, if you are investing in Bitcoin for long-term believe me you will never be disappointed however it is also important to know that the future of Bitcoin is not certain, anything can happen in the future because of Bitcoin volatile nature however I still believe that if you are investing in Bitcoin for a long time you will actually succeed and get profit at the long run.

Lack of patience failed those who lost in bitcoin investment it was never "long term investment that failed them, the statement should be corrected. Those who took the advantage to invest early in bitcoin some of them lost interest therefore sold along the line some sold because of fear and some doubted the process that was the reason why when they were holding they decided to sell everything but today they still regret their actions because those of them who had patience despite the fear of losing their money are rich today a typical example are those people who have been holding bitcoin for more then a decade you can not compare them to those who sold 4-5 years ago.

If you have the desire to invest in bitcoin for long term, you need to keep your ear away from haters who will discourage you till you sell at loss but won't be there to celebrate with you if you make profit in the future. A good investor should not be impatient if you want to go far I nyoue investment.

Truly history shows that there is more gain is long term holding than trading Bitcoin.. The truth here is that patience is what many folk lack m, and without patience in Bitcoin there is a higher chance of losing..So it best to be patient enough to hold for a long term duration of even 10yrs.. Surely, it wouldn't be easy especially for folks that are still struggling to maintain a stable income..  But then again , such folk can begin small and as they go, they can scale up their investment amount to an amount that is within their capacity after they must have figured out ways to increase their discretionary income...

Patience is a virtue and it's a very difficult attribute to have because not everyone can be disciplined enough to invest in Bitcoin and wait for a long term. It is certain that every investor that can be patient enough to allow their investment reach a significant amount would definitely enjoy the benefits, the market rewards patience and discipline. Bitcoin only fails to reward Long term Investors if they end up making some mistakes and a common one people make is selling their coins when there's a dip in the price of Bitcoin.

Your opinions are welcomed here.
Bitcoin has always rewarded patience and the more patience you become, the more rewarded you get but not withstanding, I have always heard the saying that, volatility is satoshis reward for patience and Is already very obvious that Bitcoin is always best valued and appreciated when we hold for much more longer period of time and personally, I haven't heard of anyone who already held the coin for a longer period of let's say above 5 years and didn't get rewarded.

Op I'm sure you also already know that, Bitcoin will always reward people who hold for longer period of time and I'm not trying now to dive off the topic but I don't know why I having the feeling that, this very  Bitcoin circle will not be same as every other ones but let's all still watch but meanwhile, let's buy and continue holding .

Provided you are investing in Bitcoin for long term and not short term you will definitely profit from Bitcoin, I bearly hear stories of people complaining of not profiting from Bitcoin after investing in it for long term.

The only thing that can make someone not to profit from Bitcoin is when they  lose their Bitcoin investment to scammers, or their Bitcoin wallet got hacked. Provided you can secure your Bitcoin investment very well trust me you will profit from your investment on the long run.

Investing in bitcoin for a long has proven to be more rewarding than trading or short term investment in bitcoin. Those that are holding bitcoin for a short term stand a greater risk of losing all there bitcoin within a blink of an eye. However, for long term investor the possibility of a loss is low compared to those that are into trading. But it won't be right to say with all certainty that profit is guarantee of you investing in bitcoin for a long term.

Those who have been able to hold on for a long time have mostly achieved good results, but it should not be emphasized that no one has failed till date. There are many who have started with long-term goals but have been forced to sell due to some necessity or have failed to manage their risk and have faced losses. None of us are sure that the future will be as good as it was in the past. When an investor tries to hold on to an investment for four years or more, he may face market fluctuations and various uncertainties and has to deal with all these things to survive. Therefore, those who invest well-planned and take risks within their means can maintain discipline.

3 years isn’t even long enough to be considered as long term. Long term should be at least one or two market cycles, and each market cycle is usually within the range or interval of every 4 years, which means we should be looking at the time horizon of around 5 to 10 years before we can confidently say that an investor has actually held bitcoin for long term.

You are absolutely correct, on a normal anyone who is investing for long term will surely come out with something but there are factors and criteria one ought to meet before they can get something in the long term. You can not be investing with a very little amount of money and yet not consistent and expect something in the future or In the long term though there will be an output but it will be very small based on what you input. Lastly, if someone is using this kind of funds to invest i think they may be even discourage at some point.
