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.

As the year goes, Bitcoin has attain different all time highs since the existence which mean that the longer you hold it, the more the possibility of having more returns gets higher,people who still doubt Bitcoin are those with little idea about it else they would've embraced it, especially now that it half of the current ATH.

 That's why the security of an investment is important but some people are careless with the security of their asset. An investor would be saving for someone else at the end of the day if the person continues to use exchanges as storage, they're prone to hacking and doesn't guarantee enough security that's why storing Bitcoin with exchanges no matter how some claim their wallet is secured is a big risk.

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.

I understand that you wanted to back your answer up with some fact, it made me read your text thoroughly to understand your point to the end.
My answers is also no, Bitcoin has got some history for that real Bitcoiners are optimistic that the history will continuously be repeated since it has surfaced severally which is seen as true by good number of of Bitcoin investors, even though it is been said that Bitcoin price is unpredictable which is the fact, it has not fail the long-term hodler which means any investor that wants to be rewarded by Bitcoin, should not be too quick to judge, better he should invest and hodl for a long-term.

Yes, there is no complaint of not being profitable by investing in Bitcoin in the long term, but the only people who cannot profit from investing in Bitcoin are those who do not have the mindset to hold it for the long term and who do not protect their wallets from scammers. However I believe that to profit from Bitcoin, one must invest in Bitcoin with a long-term mindset, patience and discipline, and also have a discretionary income system. If a person has enough naira, he will be able to invest in Bitcoin despite all the obstacles and will be rewarded from the investment by holding Bitcoin for a long time.

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.

There is no history of investors who have accumulated Bitcoin for the long term and are still holding it with patience, losing money. Investors who panicked about Bitcoin price trend made mistakes and later regretted their decision. And once you realize your mistake don't repeat that mistake because Bitcoin has recovered its value repeatedly since its inception and patient and long term investors have expressed satisfaction with their holdings and got huge return. Investors who accumulated in the early days of Bitcoin have seen satisfactory returns in the current context and think about how successful investors they were when Bitcoin price was $126k at the last ATH.

It is absolutely true that there is no history of investors losing money by investing consistently with a long-term plan and holding Bitcoin with confidence. Bitcoin is a long-term asset, so if we buy Bitcoin consistently with confidence with the right knowledge and hold Bitcoin patiently for the long term, the risk of losing money is greatly reduced, which can lead to the expectation of making money in the long term. Since the price of Bitcoin is very volatile, there is no confirm of making money quickly through investment. Therefore, by investing and holding Bitcoin with confidence for the long term, an investor can enjoy all the benefits of Bitcoin in the future.

Bitcoin only fail to reward those that are impatient, some people are funny you know, they make investment just like everyone but they are the first to opt out because of their emotional attitude yet they tend to want to expect the same reward as those who are persistent with their holding. Life doesn't work that way and the long term investment rule of bitcoin is relatable to how the real world operates, if you can't sacrifice your time to a craft, you definitely wouldn't achieve anything after you observe all lot of time pass by.

If a person has enough naira, he will be able to invest in Bitcoin despite all the obstacles and will be rewarded from the investment by holding Bitcoin for a long time.

As far the time frame is long term, Bitcoin would never fail you. The only time you might come out of the investment with a negative balance is when your wallet gets hacked and that is due to your carelessness because you trusted the wrong wallet provider which are mostly centralized wallets. But if you are to store your Bitcoin in a non-custodial wallet that you save guide the seed phrase very well then you are definitely going to come out of that investment being in profit. It is not about holding for years but how secure are those investments. Bitcoin price flunctuates but if you hold long enough you are definitely going to make a profit but just be more cautious about your security.

You are absolutely right because it's only impatience that faces this kind of challenges, most at time they don't invest properly, they are only convince with what they saw or hear and that is how they normally option out. This kind of people sometimes don't make any verification to understand how the method will be by just hearing how the Returns of investment, they try to jump into it which is usually a very wrong move. I stand by your words that it only fail those who are impatient, because I don't think someone who invested in Bitcoin for a period of 4 - 10 years will face any failure from Bitcoin rewarding that person.

Bitcoin doesn't reward impatient but it rewards those investors that are patient and consistent with their bitcoin accumulation. There are people that do invest in bitcoin with the mindset that they are going to cash out within a short period of time , this are mostly the people that end up losing their money because the motive of making quick profit is very risky.
As per bitcoin history those that hold bitcoin for 4-10years has not faced any losses except for those that were scammed of there bitcoin. However, as for the future, it won't right to think that investing in bitcoin for a long term is a guarantee of successful returns.

If you wait patiently for 2-3 years and sell in a bear market, you will have to count the loss on your investment even if you are patient. On the other hand, if you buy for a short period of time and sell in a bull market, you can still make a profit. So there is no condition that you will make a profit only if you invest in Bitcoin for the long term or there is no guarantee that you will make a profit only if you wait patiently. No one can guarantee that those who have invested in it and profited in the past will have the same result in the future, because the price is ultimately determined by the market. But yes - Bitcoin has a bull circle or bullish cycle and this trend has never changed in the history of Bitcoin. The supply of Bitcoin is designed in such a way that it will be limited, but the price is not guaranteed to increase by any protocol. The price depends on market demand, investor confidence, the global economy, regulatory policies and many other factors. So past performance is not a guarantee of future performance.

Another thing is, if Bitcoin never went down and only went up, then perhaps the idea of ​​"buying deep" or long-term patience wouldn't be so important. But in reality, the sharp fluctuations cause many to panic and sell, and create opportunities for patient investors. In other words, volatility creates an environment that rewards long-term investors.

Let's say patient is one of the most important sacrifice those who have benefited has paid or those who want to benefit from Bitcoin have to pay and it seems that not everyone can have this patience though is not by force anyways and such is life, I have seen people benefitting from what others actually ignored or what doesn't actually make sense to them, bitcoin has not actually failed in the long term only that most people failed to be rewarded by bitcoin by being careless of their bitcoin holding and end up blaming bitcoin for their carelessness.

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?
If we analyze the previous price chart well to know how much Bitcoin has given to patient investors, then we can easily understand how many investors have benefited or faced losses after investing here. There are some investors who have changed their policy after investing for the purpose of long-term investment and they have faced losses. There are some investors who have sold their Bitcoin after investing with a small profit, that is, they could not hold it for the long term. Bitcoin halving occurs every four years. Those who hold Bitcoin for the long term will definitely benefit. You will not find anyone who has faced losses after investing in Bitcoin even after holding it for a long time.

Bitcoin has only failed those who tries to gamble with it than use it as a long term investment, when I said "gamble" I meant traders, they focus on making profit with Bitcoin through speculative chanes that a fact that's been proven, I mean holding it longer. Bitcoin is a coin that increases as the year goes by so the best way anyone can get more of it is to hold it longer, doing otherwise mostly lead to disappointment. Whereas those who hold Bitcoin long and believe that it won't fail to improve mostly get rewarded although it must be held longer for 4-10 years or more if possible.

Long term investment is a very important mostly for investors that are enchanced with techniques and patience because they're always the one that eats the fatest bone. This crypto market, there's absolutely no need to rush because the best results will always come, remind you that there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Bitcoin have never failed to reward long term investors. For every reward today, a price was pay few years back and I can see that Bitcoin have been making good runs in the market.

You know from an angle there might be someone that have lost
Especially from Nigeria
Where the impact of inflation is stronger than the US
A person that bought and held just dollar 2021
Would be doing well then someone that bought Bitcoin 2021
Especially around the top of $60K.
You can not have said this in around January this year when bitcoin price was still above $100,000 range. Fact, you can not lose with Bitcoin investment while you are still holding and not sold dew to a dip.

You forgotten that there were people who bought Bitcoin in 2021 and sold when in the all time high which was 2x the $60k  current price levels you making example with.

Where long term investment is the goal the USDT does not stand a profitable ground for a currency to hold over Bitcoin which volatility favours long term holders.
