What motivates you about Bitcoin?

[standardnepo]

I’ll be honest, for me, it’s mainly the price and the 21 million BTC limit.

If Bitcoin really works out in the future, it could mean that my daughter’s education, and maybe even part of her financial future, could come from the BTC investment I’m making regularly every month now. If not, no problem. I accepted the risk when I decided to invest in it anyway.

The technology is 100% working in all transactions nationwide enabling people to pay bills so fast and reliable globally in as much as one has a good networking system.
 

I don’t know what part of the world you’re living in but I’m yet to see a country where you can use bitcoin as payment method for all transactions. Bitcoin has a long way to go before we see that level of adoption
PS. This topic looks very similar to your previous thread, I hope you’re not planning on making it a series.

I think what the Op was trying to say is that Bitcoin transactions can be carried out nationwide at a very fast pace , provided there’s a good internet connection. The Normal process of sending money from one country to another do take alot , it involve several steps for one to make it happen which usually take minutes, hours, or several business days, depending on the countries, banks, payment network, regulations, and currency involved. While bitcoin can provide more direct way of transferring value across borders without relying on traditional banking .

There are various reasons that motivate me about Bitcoin . Firstly , there’s the freedom that comes with you being completely in charge of your finances . I know the struggles that usually comes from local banks , not to mention the potential bitcoin has also when come to price growth , I’ve heard a lot of testimony on how bitcoin have changed a lot of folks lives and I one day I hope I will be part of those folks .

I came to bitcoin investment to make money for me and my family, I don’t know for others but I’m sure 70 percent of those who are into bitcoin investment or trading are doing for the money.
There’s money in bitcoin investment but you need to be very patient, those who bought bitcoin at its early stage and held unto it till date are all millionaires and they can’t be poor anymore they are made for life except they decided to be foolish.

What motivates me to invest in bitcoin investment is the money I can get from it.

[red4slash]

What motivates me towards bitcoin is personal gain with protected value or long-term profit and that's what I always try to believe every day because the expectation is very big with me being in bitcoin then I will have an advantage in the future at least I can make my own version of financial freedom.

After making this as a goal then my focus now is just to collect bitcoin as I can without caring about the price or volatility that occurs in the short and medium term because for me it will not mean anything considering the halving period always gives profits that continue to exceed expectations that I felt before so in this case I only focus on investing without caring about others including trading or temporary declines that occur in bearish periods.
Speaking of guarantees? It's just bullshit and it should have been implemented from the beginning but that doesn't mean we don't have hope for a much better long term even though there are no guarantees in it.

[Ziskinberg]

What motivates me about bitcoin is the financial returns and financial freedom that it will offer in the long run. I don't have to chase and rush to every opportunity that comes because by simply holding alone with indefinite terms, I know it can make me rich someday and would create a big difference in my future years to come.

Bitcoin, more than a precious gem and asset, its also becoming more developed and reliable currency. With using bitcoin, it just makes all my transactions fast and more convenient even across borders.

[Maslate]

The technology alone that comes with bitcoin is motivational already. You become your own bank with your own bitcoin rather than trusting other people to keep and protect your funds. You don't rely to banks or any centralized entity to make possible transactions because with bitcoin, you are the boss of your own, you make your own transactions and become responsible and cautious whatever outcome it will give.

In terms of investment, bitcoin also creates unlimited opportunities to invest. Just buy low and sell high, and you will never make mistakes with bitcoin. But holding for long like there's no plan to sell is the best strategy so far. As long as you keep holding bitcoin for long, it will definitely make you highly profitable  once you already decide to sell.

[Wiwo]

Do you mean bitcoin investment, because from your explanation you seem to be leaning towards investment as vs trading bitcoin.

Well, those who have the most motivation from their peace of mind in bitcoin are those who are not engaging in daily or short-term bitcoin price speculation.

Those who buy and hold their bitcoin in their wallet and have long-term investment goals instead of trading are the investors who have the most peace of mind, and they stay motivated each day, looking forward to their long-term goals.

[Queen uloma]

 You’re very correct, what really motivated me into bitcoin was the freedom aspect, instead of going to the bank to stand in the queue before they can even attend to you, is so stressful but bitcoin has made it so easy for everyone to be in control of their money anytime and anywhere. I usually advised people to invest with amount they can afford to lose, this helps to avoid regret. Anyone who really wants a good return should have the mindset of longterm strategy rather than Chasing after short term returns, which can lead to loss.

[JiiBs]

Bitcoin didn’t mean much to me, I came into Bitcoin without knowing much on its value but, was more about leveraging on what I could find before I got a better understanding of it.

The drive for me has being in it’s relentlessness and defiance towards authority, given that it’s a true means to show how much power the people can hold in a true consensus as we have in Bitcoin, where every aspect of it is decentralized.

Yeah, the monetary value is there, the potential to rise at any moment but, if that were to be the case of most centralized asset, it wouldn’t get the same level of patronage or loyalty so, Bitcoin being decentralized and operates on a consensus of the people has being some of my very strong hold.

[Botnake]

Seeing different successful stories with bitcoin drives me more to do the same thing and invest for long term, as well as trade whenever the market is profitable to trade even with just a small amount. And the mere realization that I can be with my own bank with bitcoin, that motivates me more to stick with bitcoin and slowly get rid of centralized financial platforms.

However, without the people that come to trust and risk their money with bitcoin, bitcoin will have no value. Bitcoin becomes more valuable because of the faith of the people who trusted bitcoin.

[Hamza2424]

Actually, it depends on how much amount you are holding in the form of bitcoin for the long term. As it is so obvious that holding a very small amount can not make you financially free even in a long time frame, right? But yes, you can increase this amount by accumulating little by little, which means one day you will also reach the point which will be enough to offer a handsome profit. And for this, in my point of view DCA strategy is the best option for those who can not accumulate a big amount using a lump sum, right?

Bro, DCA is so underrated, but it has been discussed so many times on these forums. We just focus on accumulating in a way that even if BTC fails to give us what we wanted, we won't feel so sad that we tend to end our life. I have seen people who invested so much that when they lost, they had a heart attack, and you must know we should not put too much burden on ourselves that eventually our body tells us to fuck off.

Understand what I mean, because when things like this happen, you can't control shit. You think you have everything under control, but nope, only a fever could shake you.

So be healthy first, invest what you can hold for a long time, and don't invest all in one coin. Always diversify. Buy different stuff.

[Out of mind]

Knowing Bitcoin and its risks involved is a key phrase to note.

Before investing in Bitcoin, it is important to know about it well and know about the volatility of the market. There is risk in every field, so investing in Bitcoin also has risks, so investing in Bitcoin should never be done in the short term, but a long-term plan is best.

*It's necessary to trade with what you can afford to lose to avoid regrets.

In trading and investing, it is important to set a specific amount of money, if you can invest and trade according to your ability, then it is under your control. Whenever you start with a large amount of money that is beyond your ability, if you face losses due to market volatility, it becomes difficult to control yourself. Therefore, in investing and trading, allocate a specific amount of money so that if you lose, you can control your emotions, so do everything according to your ability.

*Working on a long-term strategy rather than chasing short-term price movements.

In the case of Bitcoin, those who go for short-term price chasing and trading will face losses. Short-term investment and trading does not give any profit at all, but in any case, long-term planning seems to me to be the best. Especially in the case of investment, short-term planning should never be done, but long-term planning is always profitable.

*Neglecting  promises of guaranteed returns.

To make a profit, it is best to be patient and hold on, the one who can hold on for a long time will be successful. To make a profit in Bitcoin, you should never get excited, if the market falls, then you have to be patient and wait for a long time.

*Understanding that Bitcoin is volatile.

The Bitcoin market will never be stable, the price will always fluctuate, so you cannot be restless by investing. The price of Bitcoin will never stay in one place, if it goes down, it will definitely go up again, so invest with faith in that hope. Bitcoin is a very volatile currency, its price always fluctuates, so many people often get nervous about the fluctuations in the price of the investment after understanding it. That is why it is best not to be too restless about the market price, but to invest more patiently.

[Decimation]

Bitcoin itself is a big motivation.. for me what actually motivates me about Bitcoin is the ability to give people total freedom over controlling their wealth, money, walking without obstruction or relying on a central authority like the government or banks.

Yes, You're right.

Bitcoin has no control over anyone and transactions can be made completely freely. Bitcoin is gaining so much popularity among those who know and are learning about it because of its freedom. Bitcoin is the only coin where no one can interfere and no one can interfere with Bitcoin in the future.

[boyptc]

Do we need more motivation after seeing how Bitcoin's growth has been for all of these years? What it has shown us is already enough to justify that we should always be motivated in accumulating more of it.

But if its history and the current isn't enough. Look at those successful holders on what they have become right now.

It wasn't an easy journey for them as well because they have come at a point of their lives that they're about to give up and questions if there's a direction of what they are doing.

And this time, we see that there's a clearer picture of where Bitcoin is going and that should suffice as a motivation if you understand that.

[SatsPH]

Financial Freedom: Bitcoin operates on a peer-to-peer networking system without a central bank or government in control of it . This allows investors to hold their own money /wealth and receive and send money globally using only an internet connection.

This could explain everything, with Bitcoin and with our investment on it growing thru the years with compounding interested, no wonder why we are really motivated on getting on it and buying as much as we can.

Then the supply and demand takes over, we only have 21 million and more than 90% of it has been mined. So just imagine the rest, if you could just have less than 1 Bitcoin, the price will surely go up every 4 years or after halving or in the bull run. That is enough for us to go became self made millionaires in the process and build generational wealth.

[ObeyKnock]

what actually motivates me about Bitcoin is the ability to give people total freedom over controlling their wealth, money, walking without obstruction or relying on a central authority like the government or banks.

But at this point it is just a sound bite for nothing, until you actually see it happen its the real deal. Not some "no central authority" chant being put in practice, but government freezing bank accounts of nearly 206 bank holders that assisted the truckers, yes exactly frozen with no charges, no court order, simply because they had contributed funds considered too controversial to government.

Bitcoin is the only coin where no one can interfere and no one can interfere with Bitcoin in the future.

This is one of the reasons why a lot of people love to invest in bitcoin because they know that no one can interfere not even the government, so many times the government have tried to bring down bitcoin especially when bitcoin started growing, but they could not and they decided to start investing in bitcoin.

Even in the future, no one can interfere with bitcoin or bring it down bitcoin, bitcoin will continue gaining more popularity and grow in price.

Furthermore
Bitcoin give:
Financial freedom: many investors and traders are being motivated to invest in Bitcoin because of its rapid growth of price and the mindset of getting profit rapidly undermining the votalities form the stock market.

For correctional purposes, bitcoin does not give rapid profits but could be seen to be consistent with its price movement amidst its volatility offering low risk and a more trusted system. Bitcoin is not altcoins that could rapidly pump and dump because they lack fundamentals, it's an asset that requires patience and discipline inspite of it's ups and downs, one that rewards long term investors.

It's best to see bitcoin this way and do not have the wrong concept of Bitcoin in mind, stay on the cause and expand your knowledge at all cost.

Great point bro. Such thought about Bitcoin I can say is mostly for traders that are after quick returns and trust me it's not that advisable. Bitcoin is not a get rich schemes, therefore those that enter with sure negative mindset fell off without reaching their dream point.

Furthermore, if you want to make your dreams come through in your investment journey then see it as a store of value. Possibly, try to hold strong because short term gains can not be assure, long-term intervals is the way forward as a smart investor.

Bitcoin is not a get rich quick one for anyone but it has very strong growth over years since 2009 and will be able to maintain it in the future years. With Bitcoin, if people can learn about it, understand its magic growth so far, know what made this impressive growth, and actually investing money in bitcoin, holding bitcoin in years, they will be able to get richer with Bitcoin.

Holding bitcoin you bought for about 5 years at least, you will get good profit but the ROI will be better if you hold it longer like 2 or 3 market cycles.

The never ending profitable chart of Bitcoin says a lot, for anyone who doesn't know, if you look at Bitcoin chart from the day of release till now you will see that it's a bullish chart after all, all this while when people are complaining they missed the long term accomplishment.

Bitcoin is also a good store of value due to it's all time performance, it will have it's down time too because it's volatile but only a fool will make a investment decision base on short term bearish performance.

What I will never advice people to do is invest money that they will be needing urgently or few weeks down the line, Bitcoin doesn't pay short term investors unless you are a trader.
