Does bitcoin reward investors based on amount purchased or based on patience?

[Finestream]

I would rather say its based on trust and patience. You would not dare to buy significant amount of bitcoin if you do not trust bitcoin from the very beginning, as much as you would not hold your bitcoin patiently and wait for the right timing to sell without trust from the very beginning. So its a combination of both.

Patience alone won't guarantee the success of your bitcoin investment. You have to take risk as well by buying significant amount and hold it for long years. Trust and patience will definitely make bitcoin investment works overtime.

[Darker45]

It’s not either-or. It’s not as if to be patient is enough to get abundantly rewarded. If what you can invest today is only $20 or $50, even if Bitcoin grows 10x 10 years from now, you still wouldn’t have much.

Also, patience doesn’t equate to sound financial planning or management. Irresponsibility, incompetence, or simply lack of financial education could mean you’d liquidate whatever asset you acquired despite not wanting to because of unforeseen circumstances. Even if you’re patient enough to hodl for 10 years, if an emergency happens and you failed to set aside an amount for it, you might be forced to sell.

On the other hand, even mere months of keeping your Bitcoin investment could give you millions in profit if you start big.

[Patikno]

Bitcoin does not majorly reward short term investors, and those who made it big today in the bitcoin market was as a result of patience. There are those who even bought fractions of bitcoin, but long term holding has yielded a significant result and profit.

In my personal opinion, patience is the most important factor in making a profit in Bitcoin, especially in the long term. People who buy large amounts of Bitcoin won't necessarily profit, if they lack patience, but those who buy any amount will profit, if they have patience. In other words, "The holder is the winner". Furthermore, impatient people often sell their Bitcoin in a panic (when the price drops), or they quickly sell their Bitcoin when the price rises slightly. So, this is an important point to emphasize regarding the importance of "patience" in Bitcoin investing. By the way, the terms "diamond hands" and "paper hands" are appropriate in this discussion.

Patience really does matters when it comes to the reward system of investment generally, what i will get for waiting after some years is not same thing you will get waiting a few months, but Amount is an undeniable advantage and edge. We can both have all the patience in the world but if we invest different amount of money and the investment yield is at a steady percentage,  our profit will never be the same by amount but will be by percentage. Sometimes because of the amount advantage I may be having, no need to wait as long as you will need to wait to realise certain amount in profit. At this point I can even say comfortably that amount is a faster means to getting to certain huge profit, it saves you from exercising too much patience than necessary.

In investment it is always better you have that amount because it will save you a lot of stress, and this si what I mean, you can be patient for the longest time only to end up in another season of losses.  A typical example will be with Bitcoin, if I invest a $100k and you invest  a $1k, the profit I will make in one Bitcoin cycle, you will have to wait for more than a cycle to make such and we never can tell if you will get that patience to actually wait that long without getting weary already or getting a need for the money, and sadly at the time of needing the money you may be taking it during a bear season and you will end up not attaining as much profit as I did within the time I did.

That is why we advocate DCA so you continually increase your investment capital and see tangible profit soonest because in investment, collected profit is the only valid profit you can benefit, every other is just liquidity waiting for market to happen to them. it is also important to know when to be patient and when to locking in profit before it falls and takes you back to losses.

[YellowSwap]

Bitcoin rewards every holder, either you have small amount of Bitcoin or handful numbers of Bitcoin, this is why Bitcoin investment is opened for everyone, poor or rich it doesn't matter.

If you want to make good amount of money it's best if you don't stop to DCA into Bitcoin, your returns will be meaningful compare to someone who bought $100 of Bitcoin and hold.

Since you won't be holding for few months down the line it's best to keep buying little by little as money gets into your hand, because it's going to take a long time before Bitcoin makes another high, why not make it count by buying when you have the money?

[abaeze]

Bitcoin can be obtained as a reward for any campaign or anything but Bitcoin does not reward anyone. Bitcoin does not pay any interest or dividends. Profit comes only when the price increases. Another thing is that neither patience nor more money works alone to succeed in investing in Bitcoin but both work together. For example: Someone has accumulated 1BTC by DCA or bought and held it patiently since 2017, so if you want to sell it, profit is good today. One the other hand If the same person had held 2 BTC, the profit would have been double. But if the same person buys 1BTC in the short term and panic sell because of the rise and fall in the price of Bitcoin then there is a sure loss. So it can be understood from this that investing in Bitcoin with patience, knowledge and more investment together make an investor successful and these together is the big key to success in the long term.

Investment is always related to planning, and it is the investor who can control how much profit they want to achieve. The amount you invest is also important, as is how you manage your investment, including your patience. If you only invest $100 in Bitcoin, how patient are you in waiting until the value of Bitcoin in your portfolio reaches $100k? The market creates opportunities for us to make a profit; we must learn and strive to be able to earn.

The amount of money that is invested in Bitcoin is not enough to gain rewards, and there is more to Bitcoin investment than just the amount of Bitcoin. That's why there are some people who invest a good amount of Bitcoin, but in the end, the investment doesn't get anywhere because the mindset about Bitcoin investment is all about the money invested.

Bitcoin investment encourages investors to invest an amount that they can afford; this means the amount doesn't matter. The most important thing when investing in Bitcoin is to be consistent in buying more Bitcoin and to be patient. No matter the amount of money you have to invest in Bitcoin, whether small or big, as long as the goal is to be consistent and to have patience, you will definitely see a good result.

[7juju]

As a bitcoin investor you need the both to get a meaningful return from your investments. The size of your portfolio will determine what you will get from bitcoin. Bitcoin has passed the stage where you will invest very little and expect to get big returns from it despite how patient you are.

[Somegory]

The amount of bitcoin you have is what will determine how big your reward will be, mind you, every person that holds Bitcoin will end up in profits anyway, even if you have $1 dollar worth of bitcoin and by 2029 it turned to $3 that's profit.

The reason why others are advising us to keep buying is to increase the amount that we will make back when Bitcoin finally hit a new all time high, and it's a good advice.

Patience is needed for you to come out in victory, so the second person is also making sense, I think they are just confusing eachother but honestly speaking they are both right.

Does bitcoin reward investors based on amount purchased or based on patience?

Bitcoin rewards based on a simple formula: Amount Purchased × Patience (Time) = Real Profit. In long term and bigger picture Yes Bitcoin is reward you as investor based on the your patience. If big IF you didn't panic-sell during the 20-30% "corrections." or could potentially worse the bear market drawdown is usually 60%-75% from the all time high so if people bough at ATH he need more than a patience, he also need more capital.

With the current situation YES and YES we need more than patience one word for Trump and we are so doomed

[sunsilk]

If you lack patience, even though you bought huge amount of bitcoin, impatience can make you sell before the right time, and even be at loss. There are many people who invested in bitcoin, and lost their money, this doesn't mean they did not buy huge, but they were unable to persevere the bitcoin market turbulence, and decline in the bitcoin price.

That is true. Many were early investors but they didn't managed to hold all that they have bought early and that's because there is a reason behind that.

Some might did it due to panic but, there were those who have to sell because they were in need. I guess that there is more number who sold it because they were in panic rather than they were in need of it.

Regardless of the genuine reasons for selling too early, they have never anticipated on how huge the skyrocketing of bitcoin will be and what it can do more in the next years.

 Historically Bitcoin rewards patience cause the longer someone who buys it holds the more chances of having better reward you can't compare someone who bought $1000 worth of Bitcoin in the early days but sold after 4 years to some one who bought $100 worth of it as at then but has held for almost a decade, the person who held longer would be more rewarded cause the value of Bitcoin has really increased to a better amount.
 Although having more discretionary is an advantage but being able to maintain patience for a longer period like a decade is the best thing any investor would do for themselves. I prefer longevity over but if I can have enough discretionary fund to investment like Saylor and other big whales then it's a plus for my portfolio cause patience plus more discretionary fund would bring better reward.

I have decided to bring this very topic here, because I overheard two people arguing about bitcoin reward system, one was saying the amount of bitcoin in your portfolio determines your profit, and the other person was emphasizing on patience as a reward factor. So I would love us here to make our various contributions, and make a glaring classification based on this. However, in my own opinion, i feel patience is the main thing that can give bitcoin investors their desired result.

If you lack patience, even though you bought huge amount of bitcoin, impatience can make you sell before the right time, and even be at loss.

I think this is quite a complex question to answer, as the answer to your question depends on the situation. For example, if we buy a lot of Bitcoin and hold it for a long period of time, it certainly offers significant potential for substantial profits. What about those who buy smaller amounts of Bitcoin but hold it for a similarly long period of time? I believe these investors will also achieve significant returns. However, they certainly won't be as large as those who buy more Bitcoin and earn more.

Therefore, I believe having substantial capital and patience are both crucial for successful Bitcoin investment. I believe these two aspects cannot be separated. If either is missing, your Bitcoin investment results will certainly not be optimal. In conclusion, you can apply both aspects simultaneously in your Bitcoin investment. The most important thing is not to overextend yourself. The bottom line is, don't use borrowed funds or any other non-discretionary funds to invest in Bitcoin. That's clearly very risky.

[Bastketsrus]

People mostly speak of Capital vs. Patience in context of Bitcoin, but sometimes we tend to lose sight that its wealth redistribution from impatient to patient. Yes, having large portfolio helps in terms of economies of scale, but it is also dangerous. If you think about someone with $1 million in Bitcoin and price fell by 10%, they are down $100k. That is far more than enough to give most people heart attack and sell-off. That is why we get whales getting liquidated just as easily as little retail fish. Larger your vessel, less likely you are to be able to manage 50% drawdown. I think Conviction is the reward factor. Otherwise, patience is waiting for something, and you do not know why. If you do not know technology, then you are merely speculating, and these people never are patient. Those who were successful over past decade were not just right to buy. They believed that fiat system was flawed. Market will test patience of owners of 0.1 BTC as well as 10 BTC. Only those who hold Bitcoin as savings account and not as trading pair will get through.

Yeah true, big or small, everyone gets tested. It really comes down to conviction, not just patience. Same with things like bitcoin betting, emotions can easily take over.

[Sammye3]

They are both important but I think the amount invested plays a major role in the reward you get during a bullish run. One could literally wait for years with a little investment and not achieve what someone with a higher investment achieved in one year. Bitcoin is speculative and cannot be 100% predicted, so as much patience is needed it is also important to invest significant amount to get significant rewards within a short time.

Price always influences people’s psychology when deciding to hold an investment long-term, as long as they actively monitor the market at all times. What I mean is price fluctuations.
The approach you can take is to go to the market to buy and sell. Beyond that, there’s no need to visit the market just to check the price.

In common practice, patience always yields profits, even if only through Bitcoin fractions collected regularly. Those who focus on the short term can also profit in different ways. Perhaps they buy in amounts other than fractions—the smallest being 0.01—and then choose to sell again when a price difference appears, after which they buy again.

[rat03gopoh]

Returns are determined by quantity, not patience. Even blockchain can only record the quantity you control; patience is an abstract concept with no measurable value, forcing you to accept and wait for uncertainty (price). Often, the price plays with your patience. For example, you missed buying at the ATL or selling at the ATH because you were too patient.

Lack of patience doesn't mean lack of a plan or discipline.

[Findingnemo]

Capital without patience to hold long enough is useless.

Likewise patience with no capital to buy bitcoin at all is useless.

The idea situation be like buy the bitcoin and atleast hold it for a cycle to reap the real rewards which requires both capital and patience but the rewards is based on how much bitcoin you buy and how long you are holding it.

Obviously, in the space of the bitcoin market, patience is the key to reaching the desired goals and point at which one has to stay intact. Most importantly, whenever you enter the market before that, I think you need a perfect plan of taking exactly from the market, and once you reach your set goal or desired point, then personally, I feel that one should start to use the DCA strategy for taking exit from the bitcoin market. Because you keep waiting for more profit and hope to pump the market more, so that you can make more profit in result can cause you to face losses in case market starts crashing from that point.

That is why if you are in the Bitcoin market, then you have to have the best control over your own greed, and this will surely help you to stay safe from big losses. Other than this, there are two there are two things here: long-term holding and short-term holding, which can depend on one's plan like what time frame one has decided to take exit from the market once he takes entery. And such short time holding can also be known as trading which i personlly not consider good. And long term holding is the best way to make good profit out of bitcoin market. DYOR!
