I wanted to write this topic earlier but it often slips my mind. So yeah we can all agree that having knowledge in this crypto space is everything but then one thing we should always remember is that having knowledge does not guarantee that you will make profits from your investments or your trades. I'm not saying having knowledge is bad in fact, it's a must if you indeed want to increase your chances of thriving as a crypto enthusiast. But then we have to be real with ourselves. Folks often study how the market works, learn to read charts, price movements, patterns, and follow up on the latest news, yet still end up losing trades or even panic and sell their investment when the price falls below their buying price.
In the case of bitcoin, profit is guaranteed on the long run.
It is necessary for any trader to understand that trading Bitcoin is highly risky, is possible a trader can loose his entire money trading bitcoin, but when an investor is hodling, you only need patience, and endure the market crash or bitcoin drop in price.
Any investor who understand bitcoin, does not fear market crash , because there is every assurance that Bitcoin price will recover again.
When we talk about altcoins, they are high risk investment, and making profit from altcoins is very uncertain even when that coin remains in your portfolio for a long period of time, and it might end up crashing to even zero percent.
Even when you don't care about altcoins, it is necessary you understand how bitcoin investing works, because when you understand how bitcoin investing works, it is difficult to make losses investing in bitcoin. So far you are long term investor profit is guaranteed in a period of 5-10 years, and this is my knowledge about bitcoin, but not sure of any altcoin that guarantees profit on the long run.
