Hold bitcoin long Enough and you are most definitely safe

[Saltysugar99]

I believe every investments has it risk and benefits, so that goes to bitcoin investment too. Bitcoin investment has its risk, but one strategy that limits your risk is accumulating and holding for a long time. We all know that at the period of holding price will definitely drop and increase, but your chances of making profit is high, because you are holding for a long time. What you can do is to accumulate more when the price drops and hopefully it increases in the long term, which is definitely more profit for you. In my opinion I think it's very difficult for you to lose if you are patient enough to hold for a long time.

You are right. To invest in bitcoin it is important to keep buying bitcoin regularly. If you develop a habit of buying Bitcoin regularly over the long term it increases the possibility of making profits in the future. But the amount of Bitcoin to buy should be determined according to cashflow not depending on the price of Bitcoin. But in the beginning it is better to be a little aggressive when investing in bitcoin. Because the price of bitcoin is very likely to increase over time. So, you should not miss the opportunity to buy bitcoin at a low price. Because the price at which we are getting the opportunity to buy bitcoin now it cannot be whether there will be an opportunity to buy Bitcoin at this price in the next 3 to 4 years. Maybe we will never be able to buy bitcoin at this price again. Then we will have to regret it. Like many holders regret now they had the opportunity to buy bitcoin at a low price in the past but they could not take advantage of that opportunity then. So we should maintain consistency and continue to invest in bitcoin aggressively from discretionary income.

There is safety in holding, buying and holding is one aspect that help in cutting down some risk of lossing one asset as result of pressure because the mindset is already settled on holding where what happened around the period may not be given much attention, but one thing is very crutial during holding one should be able to learn and understand the market very well it helps preparing the mind how the market move the advantage of holding will fully show and that also make the holder smart, because all those knowledge is what makes holder escape any lost that will happen even while holding for long, many felt that once your target is to hold you buy and relax without learning how the market works you will be missing some part that will risk your holding because not following up makes you not able to know area the market move in your favor within the long term target.

There is no such thing as completely safe in this world.
There is also no such thing as a perfect plan.

Don't put your eggs in one basket.
Always have plans, A,B, C if possible.

Expecting one thing to work out like you planned is a much greater risk.
Even if it's Bitcoin, you can't tell me that all those holders that held since 2016 still have their Bitcoin today.

Most of them lost their coins to hackers, theft and attacks.

One of the biggest advantages of the holding strategy is that it helps prevent emotional decisions due to temporary market fluctuations. Such behavior as panicking and selling or taking more risks in the hope of additional profits when the price increases can lead to losses. If he have a long-term plan the investor should not chase after small changes and stick to his main goal. If the investor just buys assets and holds them for years but does not try to understand what kind of changes are happening in the market and what risks may arise in the future. then his decisions will be largely based on guesswork. A prudent investor does not need to change his decision based on daily market fluctuations. Rather it is more important to review the status of his investment and assess the level of risk at regular intervals. Holding assets in the long term can be an effective strategy. But holding blindly is never a substitute for prudent investment. The goal of successful investment is not only to hold assets, but also to increase the possibility of achieving one's financial goals in the long term by regularly reviewing the rationale for holding those assets.

In addition to safety, owning bitcoin also offers financial security, which is only possible if you are prepared to hold for an extended period of time. Because not everyone should be a holder, it is better for newcomers to realize that they will need to buy and hold for a long time before it truly has meaning. This is because once they start buying and the price decreases, they sell.

This is just one more reason to be prepared, as not everyone should own Bitcoin. They come with the mindset that they want to make quick money, and you have to hold enough to get a good profit, so we have to realize that holding is not as simple as we believe it is. As stated by OP, it's a game of patience because, if the price starts to decline today, what should you do? Do you buy more or sell more?

Yes, when it comes to price, Bitcoin historical price data clearly and accurately shows that in every price cycle, prices tend to rise higher and higher. However, these increases certainly don’t last indefinitely, downturns are inevitable and Bitcoin is no exception. It’s during this phase that investors and traders often suffer losses, thinking the price will keep falling, which ultimately leads them to cut their losses in the hope of buying back at a lower price to make more profit.

I strongly agree with what you said, holding for the long term is the best way to invest in Bitcoin. All it takes is patience and this can also help you maximize your profits.

In terms of security, holding your own private key is the best approach, especially since the goal is long term holding.

A long-term holder gets the opportunity to protect himself from market volatility, which also helps in growing his wealth. It is true holding Bitcoin for a long time has a high probability of profit, but there is no guarantee that it will bring a certain profit. Based on the information available from those who have been able to hold it for a long time, it can be easily assumed that none of them are at a loss. Those who invested in Bitcoin in 2021 had the opportunity to buy a Bitcoin for a minimum of $29,000 at that time, but those who held it for more than 4 years were definitely able to sell it with profit, even though the price of Bitcoin is still above $80k. After buying Bitcoin in 2021, its lowest price in 2024 was around $40,000, so if someone holds it for a long time, they will not have the opportunity to buy Bitcoin at a lower price. This is another reason why we think that investing in Bitcoin for long-term holders is very safe.

If you invest in Bitcoin for a long time, you will definitely make a profit. I don't see any chance of losing money here. Yes, after the price of Bitcoin increases, its price often decreases again and drops by a large amount. If you don't sell Bitcoin at that time and wait for it to recover and hit a new price, then you will not lose anything. However, if you hold it for a long time and the price of Bitcoin decreases again in a big way and at that time if you panic and sell your Bitcoins, then in that case you will lose, but if you hold Bitcoin, you never lose. I can guarantee this.

Not disposing of the assets in a major correction is common practice aimed at not making capital losses. Decrease in nominal values, which have not yet been sold, is technically just a temporary fall. Thus, any increase in the price up to a new high always seems like an opportunity. Absolute assurance in this matter is supported by the historical experience of all previous economic cycles.

Absolute guarantees of profits do not take into account possible errors since history does not fully preclude any uncertainty in the future. There are many hidden dangers that may prevent achieving the goals, like emergencies regarding the need for liquidity, the security of the cash kept in the wallet and changes in the regulations. It is foolish not to take into account these aspects.

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.
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 don't agree bro, this is really the most stupid post you have shared. In one year, we can make around 70%, and in four years, you can only make a 100% profit?

Bro, don't you think with this prediction, everyone would invest all at once in the first year and wait for just one opportunity to book a 70% profit? Then what?

This is not how Bitcoiners think. They are holding for the long term, and it's also a lie that you can easily make more than 200% in four years, but that was in the past. Now things have changed due to liquidity.

Truth be told, holding Bitcoin for a very long time does not actually guarantee a 100% safety because it still remains exposed to the volatility of the market and if you happen to be holding Bitcoin in a custodial wallet or centralised exchange, there could be no insurance to protect you from loss if that exchange gets hacked or goes bankrupt.

Holding for long is the best way to make profit from Bitcoin, but we should also not forget that there are those who don’t actually set an existing price target but a year's duration when they will want to cash out their investment. If that targeted year falls under bear season, which happens to bring down the price very low, the investor might end up losing unless they decide to extend their holding period.
