Hold bitcoin long Enough and you are most definitely safe

[demonica]

History shows it. Bitcoin is a great investment. However, we can't really say that it's a guarantee. The "chances of losing money are almost zero" is such a too good to be true line. If you'd say it to a person who isn't familiar with Bitcoin, this may sound more like a scam, rather than making them believe of Bitcoin.

But it's true that you can make good profit with Bitcoin as long as you believe in it and knows when to hold and when to sell. Don't get too carried away by the bear market, cause just what like you've say, based on its history, in the next years, even its lowest is higher than its previous lowest.

In the instagram post you see the progressive profits bitcoin holders are making as we go back in time, numbers don’t lie and statistically the numbers has proven that bitcoin is a timeless asset that never disappoint as it ages in your possession.

The problem is that past performance is no guarantee of future results, as Smack That Ace points out. And if you look closely, returns since the start have followed a curve that was very steep at the beginning but has gradually flattened out in recent years.

I have been of the belief that when you hold bitcoin for a good while you are not in serious risk of losses. That’s why I agreed when I was sent this https://www.instagram.com/p/DbV2zsmILfm/?igsh=eTVpdTMxdGdtajc4.

Tell that to the Coldcard owners.

Lol (although it’s no laughing matter). I reckon the OP couldn’t have chosen a worse word for their title right now: ‘safe’.

Since history has shown that the price of bitcoin increases overtime, it's possible to make profits in the long run as you buy and holding but you should know that profit isn't guaranteed so that, you don't put all your life time saving and hope in bitcoin to transform your financial situation in the future. However, the odd of bitcoin price moving uptrend is higher than moving downtrend.

Yes, Bitcoin always reaches its all-time high, and that's something to look forward to. However, there's certainly the possibility of a deep downturn, and investors take advantage of this as an opportune time to buy. However, as you mentioned, there are no guarantees, so we must maintain proper risk management. Without proper management, our investments could be in disarray.

Nothing is without risk, especially when investing money, which is a sensitive matter. We expect profits from our investments, but without careful calculation, we actually experience losses.

The chances of losing all our all our money through bitcoin investment is probably zero, well even with that there's no certainty that everyone would make it through Bitcoin investment, and that's why I do love many members here that always advices the both newbies and the experienced investors to invest only funds that they can afford to lose comfortably. Some people do treat bitcoin like a daily sources of income, specifically, people that are already deep into trading, these are kind of people that cannot believe in bitcoin investment for a long-term, since they comes with aims of making quick money. The truths is, no one can assured you or guarantee anyone of whether Bitcoin can be at this price today and tomorrow. Build an investor's goals by accumulating gradually through Dollar-Cost Averaging even with the small amounts of money you can afford to lose, holding it for long-term growths and be safe.

It's true that the longer someone holds Bitcoin, the greater their chances of profit. However, we shouldn't assume that holding Bitcoin for a long time guarantees profit. Investing in Bitcoin still carries the risk of price volatility, and it may take longer to realize a profit.
So, the bottom line is that long-term holding can increase your chances of profiting from Bitcoin's growth, but you still need to be patient until you see the results of your investment.

That assumption have been tried and tested and with the speculation that Bitcoin is still under-priced, one can  have an almost guaranteed investment if he buy and hold Bitcoin for the long run. Why it is not a guarantee is because it is still an asset - also susceptible to the fluctuations in the financial market. However the utilities in Bitcoin keeps creating a huge demand for it that the fear of it bottoming out can safely be assumed to be zero.

Hold bitcoin long Enough and you are most definitely safe

Of course, maybe we can see in several sources about those who are successful and make big profits, when they keep Bitcoin as their investment asset in the long term, this is proven from several sources that I have read.

But we also need to understand that the price of Bitcoin is very volatile, where when we see the price of Bitcoin rising in the past, there is no guarantee that it will rise in the future, even though we know that several halvings that have occurred prove that the price has risen higher than before.

For this reason, it is very necessary to invest in Bitcoin. It is highly recommended to use cold money, meaning money that is not used when making long-term investments. At least try to keep Bitcoin for 4 to 5 years, maybe that is better to reduce the fluctuation of the phenomenon. halving.

At least holding bitcoin for one market cycle to enjoy the ROI of a bull run but because most people join Bitcoin market in a bull market or around peak of a bull market when a market cycle nearly hits its highest, so they possibly stuck in a bear market. This is why they will need to hold a little bit longer like 5 years or 6 years and this hodl camp shows it too.

If they can hold their bitcoins for longer time like 2 market cycles, it will be very good and a safer investment but hold in non custodial wallets and in secure ways.

I wouldn't say that holding Bitcoin long enough guarantees safety of your investment on the long term because it is a volatile asset which we don't control it's price, we see it's potentials to always reach ATH but we cannot accurately predict it's future, what we have on hand is that it is a store of value. There is a reason why it is said that we should buy Bitcoin with amount that we can conveniently afford to give out because there is no guarantee of it reaching to the peak that you estimate it to reach. Those that held Bitcoin when it was very cheap became rich after it started to reach different ATH and we that are holding now are also looking forward to becoming very profitable in the future and that is why we are buying and holding.

Obviously this shows correct statistics because in essence holders always achieve maximum profits from the investment process undertaken in bitcoin, as long as they are truly long-term holders without neglecting a safe storage place for the assets they own.
Historically, bitcoin's upward cycle always occurs in the previous period, so holding bitcoin systematically will definitely provide commensurate profits.
That's why we always discuss long-term investment in bitcoin compared to short-term use, this is not meant reduce people who invest in the short term but rather how we can achieve asset growth over time by taking advantage of the best opportunities.

Yes, even if you focus on the lowest price, you will find evidence in this, and you can also prove it by another strategy to make Bitcoin investment credible, which is the Bitcoin halving cycle. Bitcoin halving takes place every four years and the next year Bitcoin reaches its highest price.
You see, after the halving in 2020, the price of Bitcoin reaches $69k in 2021, and after the halving in 2024, the price of Bitcoin reaches $126k in 2025. So if you invest, of course, holding the investment for a long time is the most important, and Bitcoin holding has the highest probability of being profitable.

There are some people who don't think about focusing on their goal when they are holding bitcoin. What every investor should have in mind is to achieve the goal he set for himself when he started investing in bitcoin. Panic when holding bitcoin can cause you to lose control and start feeling like selling your bitcoin. I have seen many people who bought bitcoin last year and now they are panicked and asking if they should sell it or not, which shows that those people don’t understand bitcoin before investing in it. Anyone that understand bitcoin and has seen how bitcoin reacted in past years will never panic because of the price, as an investor you must believe in and focus on our goals to succeed in bitcoin journey.

You shouldn't blame some investors for panicking mostly when an issue like the recent coldcard incident happened and we are still in awe of it.
I think Bitcoin investors should know what they intend to achieve with their Bitcoin investment first before diving in, because that's the only thing that sustains them throughout a panic season that is sometimes bound to occur regardless of how careful one is.
Focus on your investment goals and the noise just filters through without you worrying about what would be or not be.

This might be a hard lesson to practice, but when you use funds that you can afford to lose, it becomes more like putting money in a save box and forgetting about it until the day it dawn's on you that it has grown and it has become useful to get that thing you have so desired for a long time now.

To those who find business or investment hard to understand and confusing knowledge of this can be an easy explanation why they should search on bitcoin.

I will still give them the pros and cons of investing if ever someone asks me about that. That instagram post is assuring but not everyone can be too dependent on it.

To be frank, I thought that this thread is also about holding for so long and being confident as what the post says in that instagram that holding long term is about not losing, not even close to zero.

And looking to search about bitcoin first is the best start that we can tell them and not just about promising them they'll profit.

You are right, brother, instead of just promising someone profits the best way is to first ask them to study and research bitcoin its blockchain technology, its economics, and the risks. If the investor does not have a clear understanding of his own asset, he will panic and make the wrong decision if the market drops 50%. That is why the risks should be clarified first while giving investment advice. The right approach is to encourage a person to check his mental preparation and risk-taking ability, rather than just showing him the return calculation.

That's how it is. We have to make them research still so that they will have that basic knowledge about bitcoin's volatility and other aspects of it.

Because leaning towards the words of others assuring that we'll profit is investing blindly and we advocate people to research and search first about what they buy.

So in their understanding, it won't be heavy if the price suddenly bumps or dumps.

To begin with, theres no such thing as completely safe in the investing world. Whether its Bitcoin, stocks or any other asset, I dont think “safe” is the right word to use.

For me, holding Bitcoin is a better option than many other assets. Of course its still risky because of the volatility, but it has already proven many times that over the long term the price can recover and continue higher.

You just need to understand the risk and avoid panic selling. If you cannot handle big price swings, then maybe Bitcoin is not for you.

All investments carry its own risk, no one can be safe even with bitcoin, especially if you are new to bitcoin investment. Volatility is high, price fluctuations are seen often times, so if you are not used to it, entering bitcoin will be a big challenge for you, financially, emotionally and psychologically.

However, if your only focus is just to buy and accumulate more bitcoin for long-term hodling, the risk to lose is less compared to when you decide to trade it when you are seeing possible profits. But still, there's no excuse to holding blindly, and holding emotionally, because you can lose anytime from bitcoin if you make wrong decisions and wrong move while you are still holding bitcoin.

To those who find business or investment hard to understand and confusing knowledge of this can be an easy explanation why they should search on bitcoin.

Only becomes easy if they understand it. But not everyone is willing to get into bitcoin as their asset and will choose others that have lesser volatility. And if someone who's new to bitcoin investing will start to realize that there's more growth for the opportunity by investing here. I think there's gotta be a reason for them to start investing in it without having to worry with what they're entering. The risk can't be gone because it remains intact. We've proven that holding bitcoin is the wiser choice than any other investments. But we can't everyone despite that we've got a good experience from having it and being profitable is subjected for how early or late these investors enter and bought it.

[hafiztalha]

The key here is not to panic and always focus on the goal.

For example, if your goal is to sell when Bitcoin reaches $1 million, then you have to wait for that time to come. The problem is, some people panic when the price is high and also when the price is low. If we are not disciplined, we may fail to reach our goal even if we already sold in profit. Sometimes we end up buying again because we are still not satisfied with what we did.

So we should be clear with ourselves first. Are we here for long term holding, or only for short term profit?
Because those two need a different approach.

Spot on brother, you are completely right about emotional trap investors fall into panicking and selling during swings, predicting the market tops and bottoms and trying to get profit. It's lack of discipline that causes most people fail. Selling too early and buying back at high because of FOMO. But you said "Short term" profit and " long term holding" are different things and needs different strategies, but i think short term profit is not for Bitcoin; we can't treat Bitcoin as quick money asset, and i think if we are investing short term in hard asset without proper strategy is just speculation. It's the exact reason people panic sell and buy on high again losing their discipline.

[Ziskinberg]

Holding remains safe if you don't easily panic with constant price fluctuations in the market. Because a lot really think that once you hold bitcoin, then you're safe. But in reality, holding bitcoin brings a lot of challenges to stay firm and patient despite of the market's high volatility and uncertainty. And not everyone who chose to hold bitcoin will remain steadfast without getting affected when the market faces negative situations that will put bitcoin price being compromised.

However, being safe is overrated. No one gets safe as long as investment is concern, most especially in a highly volatile investment like bitcoin.

However, the odd of bitcoin price moving uptrend is higher than moving downtrend.

I don't think we are talking to stupid people anymore, for goodness sake you aren't meant to put all your life saving in Bitcoin, while I agree that to hold Bitcoin long enough and you are mostly likely safe is because of the statistics and I used the lowest Bitcoin price between two years so everyone can note that Bitcoin can have lows.
How you divide your life saving for investment is your thing but the share you put in between if left for more than three years has a high chance of success.

[macson]

The word "safe" might sound a bit excessive, because in any investment, there is always a risk that you could experience losses. That is why it is always emphasized for people who want to invest their money in Bitcoin, they need to understand the risks involved and only invest money that they have prepared for long-term investment.

We may be confident that if we hold longer, our chances of making a profit are better compared to those who sell in the short term. However, there is still no guarantee of future profit because the market will always carry a certain level of uncertainty. So, we still need proper preparation and more realistic expectations.

To begin with, theres no such thing as completely safe in the investing world. Whether its Bitcoin, stocks or any other asset, I dont think “safe” is the right word to use.

Yep, the investment is always a risk, the word safe is not right, the important thing is how we store the asset with higher security, especially in the case of Cold cards, many people panic.

For me, holding Bitcoin is a better option than many other assets. Of course its still risky because of the volatility, but it has already proven many times that over the long term the price can recover and continue higher.

You just need to understand the risk and avoid panic selling. If you cannot handle big price swings, then maybe Bitcoin is not for you.

This has been an experience for any investor, high volatility there are still many people who can't get through it, sometimes become excessive panic, or impatient in waiting for a long time, take for example bearish now it's been a long time, but some survive some sell.

There is a saying: a strong hand will be the winner, I think those who hold bitcoin should have a strong hand.
