Are Long-Term Investors Guaranteed to Make a Profit?

[Gozie51]

‎Don't invest what you can't bear when it crashes to avoid depression.
‎Have a good strategic plan and avoid making unplanned decisions when it's comes to investing.
‎Always protect your capital.
‎
‎Conclusion
‎Long- terms investors can be guarantee of making profit if only they have a good disciplined investment strategy.

There is no guarantee profit as far as business or investment is concerned. Some people have their goods seized at the custom, some people get scammed etc. So while investing, we don't have to be 100% confident of profit because anything can go wrong. Using bitcoin as a reference point, you can buy at a price that you feel is lower but the price will keep falling, this is to show that no one can predict the outcome of bitcoin. Also there are some human errors that can be made too with sending coins to wrong wallet, not safeguarding or passphrase etc. All those are possible to happen as the risk in investment.

To make the whole story short, buy with what you can stay without for the long term, don’t borrow money to buy Bitcoin, and also don’t fall victim to panic selling. Loss can only occur when you sell. The rule of the game is never to sell below what you bought your Bitcoin for.

Simple and straightforward to the point! There's no how an Investor of a long time plan with bitcoin is gonna lose his funds because with every cycle bitcoin price keeps climbing up despite after a volatile fall which are usually in a short while especially during the bear market. For one to be at peace it's very important to buy and hold what you can afford to lose, it addresses the whole issue of panic selling when price is falling.

Many may criticise this long term investment option but to me that is the best and perfect investment plan for those willing, even with fluctuating properties of bitcoin i am sure and convinced that bitcoin must turn positive at all time.
Although the fluctuation that exists in bitcoin creates fear and redirect the thinking of many but the bitter truth is, bitcoin's possibility of turning to our advantage is 100 percent sure and certain for those willing to endure during difficult times. Among all the assets in existence,  I don't think there is any with the certainty that exists in bitcoin.

[Agathamay]

Long- terms investors can't be guarantee hundred percent profit, because the market is volatile and unpredictable, which can rise and fall at anytime, but investing for a longer period of time can increase possibility of profit , but that  doesn't assure returns. .

It is not the volatility of bitcoin that makes investment one where profit is not guaranteed. The decisions people make while they invest are what cause the investment to be one that has no guarantee for profit. Some investors have good zeal to invest in Bitcoin, but along the line, they make other decisions that affect the investment and prevent it from yielding profit. Apart from this, there are different reasons why bitcoin investment may not guarantee profit; it could be ignorance that leads to loss of bitcoin. Hodling Bitcoin is always profitable, and this is why investors are encouraged to hodl and not just to invest in Bitcoin.

To answer the op directly, I will just say that, yes long term investment guarantees profit and truly I understand that not is certain(guaranteed) in the market but you see when we talk about long term investment, you'll all agree that, it is a very slow process but one process that's certain that, if held as expected, then profit would be guaranteed and I don't even know why one is shying away from saying the obvious but ended the whole post with the truth which would have simply been said from onset.

[Homemade-IQ]

To answer the question asked by the op, no, long term investment do not guarantee profit even though you do everything right, because nothing in this life is 100% certain.

Things can change very fast to the opposite direction, and considering how volatile and risky Bitcoin is, it's wrong to treat it like it might never fail to avoid heartbreak, if your investment do not later go as you expected. The chances of your investment being a success is very high if you are holding for a very long time, but their is not guarantee, because anything can still happen.

That just the fact, anybody that will just tell u that Bitcoin is an 100% guaranteed profit it actually do speaking from the place of emotion not reality. Zero risk investment dont exist while trying to hold for long term it gives you a very high chance of making money. The claim that it guaranteed will only have a way of tricking the newbies to invest in their money that they can’t lose. We should do well to prepare for the worst.

Yes the possibility of Bitcoin profit increases if held for a long time. And the reason for this, I would say, is the inflation of fiat currency, the limited supply of Bitcoin and the increase in people adoption of Bitcoin. But although profit is not guaranteed in the long term, we also have to keep this in mind. And as an advantage of long term holding, I think it protects an investor from short term price prediction and panic selling. And all investors should maintain risk management strongly. If risk management is weakened by trusting guaranteed profit, there is a possibility of loss. This is why it is important to have a backup fund.

And it is true if you think worldwide, there are many assets currently, where the risk of loss can increase a lot if you invest. Especially in our country, you have to exclude the thought that you will get a lot more output by doing a small business or buying an asset. There are many types of obstacles. In that case if some fund can be held in Bitcoin holding for long time then it will generate more profit than other assets it is quite reasonable.

Bitcoin investment is always more advisable to keep it for the long term purpose, the reason is that Bitcoin as an asset is prone to volatility because of its nature. And volatility can only be overcomes when kept in the long term period as it helps cancel out price correction . So long term investment is one investment method that people should adopt if they are to see profit in their investment. Anyone who is only investing in Bitcoin with the mindset of making profit on a short term may be disappointed because the effect of volatility may last longer thsrhst expected which may affect your investment. The reason is that for those who are investing with the mindset of Short term, there may be extended period which the price may be down of which if you are not patience enough to hold you may end up selling off and lossing due to the drop in price caused by volatility.

A long-term perspective is important when investing in volatile assets like Bitcoin. However there is no guarantee that holding an investment for the long term will eliminate the effects of temporary price drops or ensure a profit in the end. The main advantage of long-term investment is that it helps the investor avoid making hasty decisions in response to every price fluctuation. As a result the tendency to panic and sell Bitcoin during temporary market declines can be reduced. For those who buy Bitcoin with the aim of making short-term profits, timing the market and selling at the expected price becomes much more important. It is difficult to accurately determine when the price of Bitcoin will increase or decrease. Investing with the expectation of short-term profits increases the risk of worrying about every change in the market and buying and selling at the wrong time. The real purpose of long-term investment in Bitcoin is to invest with a clear plan, financial capacity, and a realistic understanding of risks. Because proper financial preparation creates the opportunity to follow that vision in reality.

Yes you are right. One thing people need to understand is that the Bitcoin market is not under anyone's control, the Bitcoin market is completely decentralized. The price of Bitcoin increases based on demand, depending on someone's comments or the economy of a country, the price of Bitcoin does not increase. When the demand for Bitcoin increases, the price of Bitcoin increases and when the demand for Bitcoin decreases, the price of Bitcoin decreases.

But yes, if a person is able to hold it for a long time, then the chances of profiting from his investment are much higher than that of a short-term investor. Because in the long term Bitcoin is a store of value, with time everyone is moving towards Bitcoin and the price of Bitcoin is increasing.

It is the volatile nature of Bitcoin that makes it not to guarantee us profit and this is also why we are advise to invest with money we can afford to lose, if Bitcoin isn't volatile and the price is always increasing then we would have been sure that as we invest we will definitely make profits and people wouldn't mind to invest with everything they have knowing full well that they must definitely make profits because the price is always at increase. No body knows what will happen in the future we might be disappointed even if we hold our Bitcoin for long despite the fact that Bitcoin has been profiting long time investors.

If investing is all you want to do with Bitcoin then truly your mind must be set on a long term journey, mentally you must be prepared to play the long game. Now if you are playing the long the truly you must have external source of income that you invest either weekly or monthly depending how much you get and how you want to split it.

Ofcours there is no true investment without the risk, overcoming risk is how we grow and develop ourselves, so investing in Bitcoin, you must expect several risks including the market itself. The market itself is a risk that must be taken account of, otherwise when the market gets volatile, if you panic sell or you desire to depend on your investments for one or two errands, if you do these things, you will certainly not meet any target that you had set before investing. Study the market, do your own research and invest what you can, I think it's pretty simple from there.

In that case if some fund can be held in Bitcoin holding for long time then it will generate more profit than other assets it is quite reasonable.

Of course, holding Bitcoin in the long run may prevent people from making decisions based on fluctuation time after time, but again predicting the outcome of tomorrow depending on today's profits will never be justified. And yes risks are associated with small business or any other assets; yet putting all the money into Bitcoin will not protect investors from risks, meaning that it is better to have reserves and invest the amount which one can manage throughout his lifetime. It is important to evaluate how much money he is capable of making while calculating losses too.

[Makus]

There's a high chance of making profit from a long term investment but at the same time it is always important to fix your mind on the fact that nothing is guaranteed. Talking about bitcoin as the main context here, for those that can be patient enough to wait for a long term without selling their coins during the dip there's a very chance of them making profit. Most Bitcoin holders lose due to fear of losing, FoMO, and selling due to emergencies.

The market rewards discipline and patience, not everyone has the mental fortitude to wait for a long time of time to actually make such an investment.

I don't think if there's anyone who's criticizing Long term investment rather, they are not patient enough to HODL their bitcoin for Long term. And the major reason why many people do not regard this Long term investment is due to the economy situation of the country. I would use Nigeria as an example; there are people who are just looking for something they would do to get quick profit so as to enable them pay their bills. But the truth is Bitcoin investment is not a Short term investment even though some people are making profit from Short term, if we track the history of Bitcoin we will see that long term investment is much more better than short term that is why we need to focus on Long term investment.

I'm convinced that easily investors will be at profit if they are till holding bitcoin till now so i agree with you if you say there is a high chance of making profit from bitcoin if you hold for long but still we should still be rest assured that making profit from bitcoin is not guarantee. Bitcoin investment should be invested with our discretionary income and hold for long, selling shouldn't be an option until an investors has reached their bitcoin over accumulation joint.

It is not about how long but how well. You can hold for long and still make silly silly blunders that can potentially make you a shitty investor. Even with your strategy, there are times when you feel it is not working, but it is. The season and time hasn't reached.

You need risk management and a working strategy to beat the odds of profit in a long run. Two are good. There's a third that is guaranteed profit. Just because you did the above two doesn't mean you will make profit at the end. Life happens like that. But it's best you have those. Because your chances of success is way higher than loss.

[rachael9385]

in Long terms investment,  do not assume there's no losses, losses are certain.
‎

This is a little headstart for anyone that's planning to make any long term investment and what definitely comes to mind before anything is bitcoin, it might be a reliable investment to make but there are no certainties about making profit from this, always fix your mind on having any outcome.

‎ Investing for long- term can possibly  offer you  potential for massive growth if you are consistent and have a good strategic plan, this can be achieved if you are patience enough to stay positive and knowing fully well that  losses comes at times.
‎

Absolutely right, there is a high chance of gaining positively from long term investments if you can be consistent and patient enough, having a plan is quite alright but the real test is actually patience because it's not an easy task to make an investment and then wait for up to 5 years or even more.

‎Don't invest what you can't bear when it crashes to avoid depression.
‎Have a good strategic plan and avoid making unplanned decisions when it's comes to investing.
‎Always protect your capital.

‎Recently, I came across a topic that talks about not "investing scare money" in crypto most especially bitcoin, without reading I could understand but the phrase was new to me. The reason why a lot of people end up selling their coins is because they get scared they might lose it when the market is crashing, they cannot afford to lose the amount of money that they invested.

[Humblevirus]

It depends on your knowledge, experience and time. So from my experience I will say that profit is guaranteed in long-term investment, but there are some conditions here. For example: How long is the term to be mentioned? If it is 1-2 years, then profit is not guaranteed from an investment perspective, but if you consider it as trading, then it can be. But if someone holds Bitcoin for 5-10 years, then profit is sure. If someone argues this point profit will never decrease. So long-term investment is the first condition to make profit.

The reason some people come to these conclusions is by looking at the history of Bitcoin's price. If we look at Bitcoin's price since its existence, it has proven to be profitable for those who are able to hold their Bitcoin for the long term.So, as you can see, it all depends on the period of time someone is willing to hold Bitcoin. It is possible that someone may target holding their Bitcoin for three or four years, and it could potentially be profitable by that time.However, the truth is that making a profit within a specific period is not guaranteed. As long as someone can hold Bitcoin for a long period, with increasing adoption and a fixed supply, there is a good chance of making  profit.

[Franctoshi]

Even with your "good strategy and a disciplined approach" There's no guarantee that Bitcoin will always continue to go up forever, but I agree with you base on the fact that an investor with a good disciplined approach and a defined strategy would have a higher profit potential in the long run.

Finally just as you said, risk management is key to surving whatever outcome we faced in the market during the process of our investment, whether we profit or lose money.
