Some persons go into Bitcoin because they want fast profits without understanding the market cycles long term holders usually benefits more because they are patience and less emoi during the dips. knowing Bitcoin before investment is very important, some many folks buy because of hype and later complain about losses knowledge and patience play a huge role in succeeding with Bitcoin investment..

When the price of Bitcoin falls, it is not the problem , but only when an investor sells it due to the fall in price then actually  investor faces loss . As long as the Bitcoin holding is maintained, there is a possibility of the price falling or rising, but when it is sold, the Bitcoin asset is no longer of owner . Therefore, it can never be an investor's decision to sell it suddenly when the price falls. An investor will always think about whether to continue investing for a long time or to hold it. That is possible only when the investor has proper planning.

You are Right sha, Longe term investors barely see lose except they didn't invest properly. These kinds of losses comes if someone invest money that is needed for something important or doesn't have backup or emergency funds. They will be forced to sell at loss especially when unexpected issues arrive. You can have patience and discipline but if you don't have backup funds, you will start touching your Bitcoin. Bitcoin works best with time and you are right Bitcoin dips are never permanent, it will always rise back. For you to benefit from Bitcoin, you must be accumulating consistently for a period of time, while also saving for emergencies and bills, and finally is your psychological aspect which is your mindset of being patient, discipline, consistent, and fighting any sort of emotional decisions.

Well, every investor has the right to decide whatever investment approach to be taken or the method they want to adopt in Bitcoin investment journey. So you saying that; "it is never an investors decision to sell when the price dips" I think it is something that can not be generalized as everyone has a plan and target to whatever they want to engage in, most especially things relating to a person's asset, it is actually the investors human right to choose whatever method they want to operate, but we will always advise and sensitize that short term investors should try and adopt the long term investment for better profits and to minimize losses.

I won't say with certainty that there won't be actual loss for long term holders because I can't predict the future like wise everyone else. However, if we are to compare long term holders and short term holders in terms of profit or loss, it will be obvious that long term holders are more successful than short term traders. But I won't said because of this that there won't be loss for long term holders because of the volatile nature of bitcoin. Holding bitcoin for a long term doesn't guarantee successful returns at the end.

There is no actual loss for long term holders as far as Bitcoin does not goes to zero, there is only a temporary loss to long term holders and that can happen when there is a downrun in the price of Bitcoin but as far as long term holders do not panic to sell their Bitcoin they will certainly recovers from their temporary loss when the price of Bitcoin start increasing back. For the volatile nature of Bitcoin, it only makes long term holders portfolio to decrease a little and it also gives long term holders a chance to buy Bitcoin in a discounted price, which in return increases long term holders'portfolio, so the volatile nature of Bitcoin does not guarantee loss to long term holders, what guarantee loss to long term holders is the act of selling in panic.

Gambling with their bitcoin isn't necessarily the only way people can lose their holdings, there are alot of cases where people lost access to their wallets and lost every single bitcoin they had in it, infact lost bitcoin accounts for a reasonable amount of bitcoin in circulation right now, it might not seem like much when looking at the figures but when you actually check out the price value you will find out that alot of money has been lost due to bitcoin holders simply not being able to access their wallet again due to one reason or the other, it's regrettable but it is happening.
I use to wonder how someone would be careless to lose their wallets seedphrase to an extent they cannot retrieve it back. I know this things happen but it can be prevented if we put in measures by writing down your seed phrases on papers and store them in  multiple safe locations. That way incase  something happen to a particular location such as fire,flood or thief you can fall back to the other seedphrases to retrieve your wallet. Secondly, why people lose their holding is because they memorized their seedphrases and couldn't recall them correctly. The best way to avoid losing your wallet incase of any eventuality is by writing it  and store them in multiple locations.

I cant counter what is actually true. Real long term holders, I mean real holders never losses. Bitcoin statistically has shown the process of growth for at least one decade. It has proof that it increases over time. A real long term holder will get favored in one or more bullish season he meets for holding long. When that time comes, he will be profitable. Patience is indeed a virtue when discussing about Bitcoin accumulation. A patient investor will be profitable in the long term not the other way round.
Perhaps you could as well just say that bitcoin is a magic lamp that long term investors just have to rub and poof, profit will just magically appear to them lol !. In that case i might just need to borrow a djinee real quick, give me a break please 🤦‍♂️. Time to get back to reality buddy, the market doesn’t bow to anybody’s wishes, the market will test your patience in a real way so don’t talk as if the market is your pet that you can always tell what to do and it will do it.
Long term holding is a very good thing and it works well for sure but I don’t like when people paint it as if it is a guaranteed profit scheme, no it’s not.

Exactly it's right that some people invest in Bitcoin without understanding the market cycle in the hope of quick profits and they invest foolishly with their hard earned naira but such investors are called speculators. We should remember that one should not be a speculator but a successful investor because all those investors have patience, long-term mindset and the attitude to gradually buy Bitcoin, which results in them using naira to invest patiently to reach the peak of profit to invest in BTC but while there is potential for profit from BTC, even then i think it should not be thought of as a quick profit scheme at the initial stage.

Fomo is one the leading cause in why people invest into Bitcoin blindly. Most times this usually happens when Bitcoin price is pumping, so when they hear people talking about left and right, their mind will be like let me put money so that when the Price increases within a short time frame I will just take  profit. That's a very wrong mindset, they are following a trader's path. Paraventure let's say they even invest and suddenly Bitcoin price Dips, that's when you will see them panicking up and down  and start selling at lose. Hadn't been they had little understanding about Bitcoin they will know that it's not a quick money making tool, it requires lots of patience if you truly want to profit from it. You don't just invest in Bitcoin with all your money, you must figure out your expenses and others then the remaining portion that is not in use should be your investment funds (Discretionary income). Then you implement the act of consistent accumulation, try to learn more along the way, and exercise patience.

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.
There is also no real losses for those who invest for a short term, as long they don't sell way less than what they bought. We advocate for long term investment because the rewards gets bigger over a longer period of holding, short term investment is also a strategy used by investors, and those who knows how to use it, actually make good returns.

That's the crux of your explanation that we need discretionary income to invest in BTC, i also agree with this because from the very beginning, everyone on this local board should acquire some knowledge about Bitcoin which will save many Nigerians from investing wrongly and blindly. Also, it is true that the main reason why some people blindly invest in Bitcoin is FOMO, but those who have a little knowledge about BTC may not jump into investing blindly and invest on the wrong website in the hope of earning extra money. Therefore, everyone should consistently implement the task of saving Bitcoin and invest patiently to reach the peak of profit.

When people invests for the short term, it’s almost impossible not to sell in a loss. Most investors who invests in the short term would rather prefer to lock in some profits than watch their investment diminish in their very eyes. There’s a reason why investors are advised to maintain a long term outlook when it comes to bitcoin, this is because bitcoin itself is a long term asset, and one may only get the best out of it when they follow the rules, which is having a long term mindset. At least this helps investors avoid some short term distractions and pitfalls.

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.
That’s the plain truth, but some of us know and have no patience to hold for long if not some of us really want to hold for long but life expenses and other things do happen and lead to us to sell early, but in reality, the long term holders because of you see the price in the past five years and you compare it to the current price, regardless of the ups and downs of the market, they are still in profit till today, so long term holders always make profit that’s why it is good to hold for long.
