Can small investors actually make good profit with bitcoin ?

[Jammy01]

I have been thinking lately about how investing in bitcoin is actually a great idea but also it can be really hard to make profit off bitcoin if you're a small Investor
Imagine this:
If bitcoin is at $64k and me as a small investor bought with $1k, for me to make 100% profit bitcoin will have to hit $128k, that is still feasible
But if I'm hoping to make a 200% profit on my investment bitcoin price will have to get to $256k, how achievable is that ? And if it's achievable how long is it going to take

Which brings me back to my question
Can small investors actually make good profit with bitcoin?

Or are there other ways to make money with bitcoin as a small investor rather than just buy and hold?

There are other ways that you can make money, but they are very risky. My advise is that you should just hold your coins. It is easy, not time demanding and the profit is guaranteed than other means. Bitcoin is not at its early stage anymore which makes its price not volatile as it was before.

If you want to make such profit which I consider “quick profits” then you should go and invest in some other risky investments which have higher chances of giving you that profits but keep in mind that it is very risky.

As for Bitcoin, if you’re aiming at that amount of return then I think it’s still feasible but you’ll need to Hodl a little longer about 6-10 years or even more and it isn’t guaranteed tho.

Yes, but it would take time and you need to be patient enough  to do so.

They might be, but they’re way risky than just buying and holding which is less riskier and kinda more easy to achieve..

[Zoomic]

This kind of thought often springs out from comparison. You're probably comparing yourself with investors with large portfolios but you tend to forget that many of them started small.

You don't have to buy big to make profit in Bitcoin big your capital is small, then you should focus on consistently accumulating sats. That's a good way to build your portfolio.

The only difference between a small investor and and big investor in Bitcoin is the size of their capital. But for the percentage of their are the same. If Bitcoin doubles from the price you bought it, your investment also doubles, wether you invested $100 or $100,000

These are simple calculation that every investor ought to put into consideration while investing and this makes the difference between an investor that is just making statement because others are doing so and another that is actually intentional about his investment decision and choices. if you bought $1k bitcoin at $64k per bitcoin, bitcoin has to be at $128k before you can make additional $1k from your investment and get an overall of  $2k. how soon bitcoin will get to that $64k is what we can not tell but in times to come it will certainly happen. if you are able to buy enough bitcoin before that time, your extent of profitability increases and that is why the quantity of bitcoin you are holding is what actually leads to an increase profitability than just staying invested for a longer period of time.

In finance, the real danger lies not in acquiring assets that are currently out of favor, but in acting blindly, without a clear understanding of the rules, fundamental values and potential outcomes.




In reality, small investors actually have a significant advantage in crypto thanks to liquidity (we can sell at higher prices and buy at lower ones (due to the small size of our orders).

I will advise everyone out there to invest in bitcoin without thinking much about it. Bitcoin has already shown such reputation over time it can be used for investment, more like a guaranteed savings especially if you already have plans of saving your money in the bank over a long time. The inflation these days are not stable. They are the things which happen every now and then and make your money put at risk. Your money is safer with bitcoin if you intend to keep it for a long time and also hope to keep putting money inside of it time to time.

[Antidote47k]

You’re right. As a smaller investor, your profits may look small compared to those of larger investors. Bitcoin is a relatively safer investment, but it isn’t so volatile that you can rely on it for quick profits. As others have already mentioned, there are certainly other ways to make more money, but they usually come with much higher risk.

Then again, it depends on how realistic your expectations are. If history is anything to go by, Bitcoin has produced strong long-term returns for investors, but expecting it to double or triple in a short period isn’t something anyone can count on.

Why not focus on gradually accumulating your portfolio? With a good DCA strategy, your holdings can grow significantly over the years. If Bitcoin eventually doubles in price, whether that takes one year, two years, or even longer, you’ll likely have built a much stronger position by then than if you were only chasing quick profits.
After all, many of today’s large Bitcoin investors started small too.

The higher the market, the higher the fuel requirement to reach that figure. Therefore, you need to be somewhat realistic about your profit targets. A 100% increase is still reachable, but it's not easy, considering the significant market capital required. You will generate the same percentage return as investors with reasonable profit expectations.

You’re right, the bitcoin market is now much more mature and institutionalized than ever before which increases its longterm stability. As a small investor, instead of chasing the daily fluctuations of the market or the lure of extra income, the safest and most tested strategy is to buy small amounts at regular intervals and hold them for the long term. This will not only maintain your peace of mind, but also ensure the possibility of getting a good return in the long term without any additional risk.

[Son Of Blockchain (SOB)]

 Anyone can make good profits from holding Bitcoin but small investors need to be more consistent with accumulation and hold longer, if people who have more capital for their discretionary income can hold up to 4 years before taking profits, small scale investors should do better than that by holding beyond 4 years.
 If institutions with more capital and capable of buying bulk then hold can chose to be consistent with their accumulation then I wonder why smaller investors would relent on that, they should take it more seriously since they have lesser advantage to buying power compared to big investors.

[Charcol]

Instead of calculating the profit from the savings stage, think of it as an asset. Profit can come but it takes time. Bitcoin protects your savings from inflation. If you keep the money that you used to keep in cash or in the bank for 4-10 years or more in Bitcoin for the same period, then inflation will not allow your savings to erode. Because the interest that the bank pays and the inflation that is increasing day by day, if you calculate it in the bank, the savings can be eroded even if you keep it. You can save in Bitcoin to protect your savings from inflation. But the profit will actually be seen later. And Bitcoin may have a 200% profit. But no one knows how long it will take. No one can say for sure how much Bitcoin can go up in the future or how short-term volatility will bring it down.

[Nrcewker]

If you really want to make a profit, then you have to accumulate Bitcoin regularly. It’s never too late to invest in Bitcoin.

Now, regarding your example, no matter the field or investment, turning your initial investment into 3x the amount takes significant time and involves substantial risk. If making 3x returns were that easy, people could simply invest $100 million and effortlessly triple their money.

Therefore, you need to be patient and continue buying Bitcoin at regular intervals whenever you have extra money. In the long term, the price is likely to increase because of Bitcoin’s fixed supply and growing demand. So, starting with 1000 USD is still a good way to potentially make money from Bitcoin over time.

Can small investors actually make good profit with bitcoin

With $1,000 capital or $100,000 capital, if two investors have same entries, or same average entry price, they will have same ROIs with a same exit price. That means they will have same ROI and when it's like that, two investors have same good profit, no difference in ROI. Difference is how much a big investor get more in profit than a small investor get but it does not mean a big investor did better than a small investor.

Or are there other ways to make money with bitcoin as a small investor rather than just buy and hold?

Only one way, buying and holding a long time like two market cycles or if possible three market cycles or more, to get good profit in ROI.

Don't try to "stake" your bitcoin because Bitcoin is Proof of Work blockchain, so no staking is available on it. If you stake, it means you sell your bitcoin or convert your bitcoin to have Wrapped Bitcoin tokens on altcoin blockchains. Those tokens have depeg risk and by staking, you can lose your tokens to scammers.

Small investors who invest in Bitcoin just once without any plan to increase their allocation to build up their Bitcoin holdings then he will find it very difficult to make a good profit. Bitcoin does not offer quick returns in the short term. And the people who have made good profits from Bitcoin are those who invested in it for the long term. Perhaps you shouldn’t expect to get what you want too quickly. I think you should adopt a strategy of gradually increasing your Bitcoin investment allocation. You can use dollar-cost averaging to achieve gradual compounding. If Bitcoin’s value doubles or even more then you should have already realized a good profit by that point. So I personally believe that small investors can maximize their future returns if they consistently set aside a portion of their investment each month allowing them to experience significant gains in their portfolio over time.

Does having your money doubled on investment can't be called a good profit?

You may not become rich by investing $1000, but if you consistently add even $50, $100 or more every month, you will surely see a different result. By the time when the price of Bitcoin has increased, you will have a good profit even if you are just a small investor.

Always think that the goal may not be to turn your $1000 investment into a million dollar overnight, but to accumulate as much as you can even as a small investor before pump happens.

By investing in Bitcoin, you can earn a good return on your initial investment. However, if you mean turning $1k or $5k into millions through Bitcoin, I am afraid that era is over.

There are still a few other way to profit from Bitcoin, such as trading. However, they come with significantly higher risk, and I would not recommend them. In my opinion, buying regularly and holding for the long term is still the best strategy.

I’m curious, do you know any other investment that can give you 200% profit in a month/year? Because people have this idea that bitcoin is magic money on the internet, ignoring the downsides of bitcoin’s volatility. 

The way I see it. You have three options
1. You can either buy & hodl.
2. Buy shitcoins and risk losing all your money.
3. Keep searching for hyip and lose your money to scammers.

You can start trading actively but that would require technical knowledge of trading crypto markets, and risk management.

Investing now in Bitcoin requires patience and that analysis you've made for how much you need to profit for 100% requires also the double of your buying price.

That is why long term consistent investing and patience will be worth in the long run.

I am not even a big investor in the past years of why investing journey but I've profited from holding bitcoin.

So, if you're considering buying now, don't just think of 1 or 2 years but more than that to see how profitable it is.

Can small investors actually make good profit with bitcoin?

They can, but it all depends on what you consider to be a "good profit". For me personally, as long as bitcoin beats inflation rate, I am satisfied. But if you are dreaming of making x5 with bitcoin, best to simply forget about it. Unless you don't mind waiting for quite some time.

Or are there other ways to make money with bitcoin as a small investor rather than just buy and hold?

There are, but the risk to reward is not good, so for 99.99% of the people simple hodl is the best course of action.
