No actual losses for a long term Hodler.

So far Bitcoin has never disappointed it's long term holders and I hope that it remains so going forward into the far future because in reality nothing is guaranteed forever. Bitcoin has become a store of value and we are trusting that it will continue to reach ATH after every circles because it has shown that it has potentials.

Let us remember that we should invest in Bitcoin from our discretionary funds so that we will not be tempted to sell prematurely when basic needs and emergencies arises. Another reason that we should use our discretionary funds to buy Bitcoin is because it is a volatile asset, if you use almost all your money to be buying it you will always be tempted to monitor the market to know if you are making profit. Buy Bitcoin with what you can comfortably afford and hodl it patiently for it to become bullish.

Even after investing with our discretionary income staying focused through the thin and thick of the market is very important, this is because people don't only get tempted to sell when basic needs and emergencies arises people are also tempted to sell at slightly small profit they see while their plans are to be buying and holding for long term, there is no guarantee of success in bitcoin even as long term holder, Bitcoin is a good coin no doubt but we can't say is risk free this is very important.

Who else looks at it this way, that a real long term Bitcoin investor never actually loses.

I know some might wanna counter this, but before you do, first look at it from this perspective. When the Bitcoin market dips, an investor’s portfolio only drops temporarily, but this is far from being the same thing as a loss. The only thing the turns this into an actual loss is when they sell too early due to fear, which of course is something a real long term holder would never do.

Historically, Bitcoin is known to reward patience and consistency more than fear, panic and playing smart. Long term investors mostly see discounts and opportunities.
Even the biggest dips looked very scary in the moment, but as time went on, the market somehow managed to recover and even pushed way higher. That’s why every true investor understands this one big rule, which is that volatility are only but temporary and short term, but growth sticks around for much longer term.

This is exactly the reason why true long term investors pays no attention to short term volatility, but rather, they focus on consistent accumulation, patience and time in the market, and with these formulas, losses are somehow avoidable.

I’ve come to understand myself that those who usually end up winning are usually not those who are trying to get rich overnight, but those who remain consistent and disciplined during times of uncertainty, fear and market crashes.

I so much concord to your views here. Looking at when bitcoin came on board till now, bitcoin is always moving higher, and higher in price, and every bull season investors experiences bitcoin new all time high. Investors should try and understand the nature of bitcoin, and even if you are a newbie, do not invest in bitcoin ignorantly without knowing how bitcoin investing works, and how investors are being rewarded. There is no way you can loose investing investing in bitcoin on the long run, unless you invest in the wrong platform, and eventually scammed, otherwise you will always make profit from bitcoin on the long run.
Now, we hear people saying they have made lost investing in bitcoin, these investors who complain losses are either those who sell their bitcoin asset out fear because of the market bearish trend or traders who look for short term profit. So, as a bitcoin investor, long term holding is what guarantees profit, just wealth can be created on long term investment strategy.
