If Bitcoin Hits $500k, Most Holders Still Won't Become Rich

[kingstep]

With the mentality of most bitcoin investors, if bitcoin gets to $500k in 2030 for instance, most investors will probably not benefit from such bull and there are several reasons why this is the case. most holders wont benefit from it because;

1. Some will rush to sell immediately bitcoin gets to $100k and while this is not bad on the extreme, it tells us that staying invested when you are at profit is not easy.

2. some will quickly sell while waiting to buy back and when it dawns on them that rather than dropping that bitcoin is actually going up, they might get frustrated and never get to enjoy the bull when it eventually comes.

3. Some that are buying in small quantity like $50 or $100 per month will still not benefit real good if they are not consistent with their buys. Bitcoin favors those with a more robust portfolio

4. Some that only speculate without buying will be the worse of them all because while they continue talking without putting in the work, it will only lead to an eventual regret because if you are not buying, no matter where bitcoin gets to, you don't stand a chance in benefitting from it.

Another good reason is that some investors are traders, they will use the money to trade and probably later lose it.

There are good ways you can go most of these and still benefit from bitcoin holding. You can buy bitcoin, let us assume it is 100%. You can sell 50 to 70% during bull market and hold 30 t0 50% and not sell it at all. This is the best way in bitcoin investment.

I will not advise anyone to sell all their bitcoin, at least still hold some all the time irrespective of bull or bear market.

When the value of Bitcoin was very small, holders never imagined that it would touch $126k. When predicting Bitcoin, if we say that it will touch $1 million, some will find it unbelievable. If you analyze Bitcoin, it is very natural that the value will increase by this amount in literal terms. There are some traders who have a short-term trading mentality, they sell when they get a small profit, but they basically lose more than they make a profit because they will buy Bitcoin again at a higher price later. Most traders are in a frustrating situation because they are more likely to make wrong decisions and lose.

2. some will quickly sell while waiting to buy back and when it dawns on them that rather than dropping that bitcoin is actually going up, they might get frustrated and never get to enjoy the bull when it eventually comes.

If there is instability among investors or traders, it is almost certain that they will never reach the desired goal. Because when the price decreases, they tend to sell in panic and when the price increases, they sell for a small profit, which is financially harmful to them. Make a plan to accumulate Bitcoin during each bull run or bear market and DCA until you have a decent Bitcoin holding.

3. Some that are buying in small quantity like $50 or $100 per month will still not benefit real good if they are not consistent with their buys. Bitcoin favors those with a more robust portfolio

You didn't specify what amount of Bitcoin you mean by a strong portfolio, but for an individual investor, the best decision is to accumulate Bitcoin in a DCA manner for 4-10 years regardless of the price. Or buy Bitcoin in line with your income and discretionary income.

4. Some that only speculate without buying will be the worse of them all because while they continue talking without putting in the work, it will only lead to an eventual regret because if you are not buying, no matter where bitcoin gets to, you don't stand a chance in benefitting from it.

Once you have a strong sense that having a Bitcoin portfolio is better than no Bitcoin, you should develop a strategy for accumulating Bitcoin and consider keeping emergency funds and cash flow available to keep you going in the long run as part of your best investment strategy.

I call those set of people the big big talk investors or the audio investors because they do more of talking than actions. They are even more noisy than people that have invested greatly in it, I don't literally take them serous because they can be very misleading to people that are really serous in investing in Bitcoin.

Secondly, bitcoin has always been known to be an assets that appreciate in value overtime and also design to favour the patient ones, those that can hold firmly without compromising. However, I wouldn't be surprise if traders or fair weather investors are being missed out because that has always been their normal position. Perhaps, if this can take hold, it will be a better way of appreciating those that hold strong without shaking.

I was expecting to see fear as a factor because it is the major reason that people will not benefit at such time. I don't think anyone would like to reject good things but because the fear of the unknown, so you would want to be careful in your investment.

People will have to invest in the amount of money that they can bear to lose, this has been the watch word. So if someone put in whatever amount, that's how much you are comfortable with and such person should be cool with whatever profit that comes as a result of his investment. It is not advisable to borrow to invest in bitcoin, investing more than you can lose is greed.

A lot of folks probably won't get much out of Bitcoin even if it hits big numbers like $500k.
As someone who is in it for the long haul, I don't see it as a way to chase profits. To me it's about backing a better kind of money that puts more power back in people's hands and pushes back against constant inflation and too much control from the top. The simple truth is, keep putting in what you can afford, stay steady through the ups and downs and hold on with real determination over the years.
It's about protecting what you've saved and being part of something that matters more than quick wins. The people who end up doing well are usually the patient and consistent ones.

None of the reasons you mentioned are investors, they are all traders. An investor has a target of 4 to 10 years or in some cases even more. A person who sells after seeing some profit or waits for a fall or they are not an investor at all.

But yes, the higher our portfolio, the more we will profit if the price of Bitcoin increases. If a person has $50 worth of Bitcoin, then he will get profit according to the amount of Bitcoin he has. We need to focus on building our portfolio. It is not that the price of Bitcoin will not increase after the price of Bitcoin reaches $500,000. We need to keep investing until we are able to reach our target. One thing every investor needs to remember is that Bitcoin rewards the person who is patient.
