Are Long-Term Investors Guaranteed to Make a Profit?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Meanwhile in Long terms investment,  do not assume there's no losses, losses are certain.
‎
‎Long- terms investors can be guarantee of making profit if only they have a good disciplined investment strategy.

Losses are certain if the person invested in other bad assets and also if the person lacks good management of their asset which could lead to losing their asset entirely but investing only on Bitcoin and holding it for the long period of time without selling a bit even when the price has fall below the price you have bought it, you have not lose anything. As a long term holder of Bitcoin, you only lose if you sell below your bought price, but as long as you have not sold cheap, you did not lose anything.

[Different patterns]

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. Sometimes it depends on market conditions and your personal investment strategy or target. Meanwhile in Long terms investment,  do not assume there's no losses, losses are certain.

Everyday we can’t deny the fact that investing into bitcoin with long term mindset is the best approach, still to not cause confusion for many people, with that your long term strategy, there’s still not guarantee of profit. Due to nature of bitcoin itself. I think people should understand this. because when you tell newbie about bitcoin, you explain to the person how bitcoin works. The best strategy to invest in bitcoin is long term investment, they may think with that long term, their expectations in the future will be very high. Not knowing that bitcoin is volatile, price can change at any time without them notice it. My opinion here is that whenever introducing bitcoin to someone, that profit is very uncertain, even when you invest for long term, the best you can do is to have target.

Point of correction, there's no guarantee profits for an investor whether long term or not cause the future is unknown and you can't use the past or present to judge the future but hope that it would be better. Historically, Bitcoin has facts that could convince anyone that it would maintain being valueable in the future.
 However we just can conclude based on those historical facts but continue believing in the potential of Bitcoin even though we can't perfectly predict or tell what the future would be like.

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.

In addition, nothing is been guaranteed but for the fact that the price of Bitcoin appreciates on a long-term, long-term investors are likely to be rewarded.
You are right that investors should buy with their to left over funds, money that they won't be needing for a long-term period of time, the rap it all, the amount the can afford to lose.
Talking about panic selling, investors should have their emergency funds, and investor with their discretionary as that could be the cause of an investor reasoning to sell when they are not suppose to.

Profit and loss in investment are never certain, that is, the matter of profit and loss is uncertain in investment. However, the possibility of loss due to price in the long term is very small, but there is still a small possibility. If you do not lose funds or do not fall victim to fraud, your possibility of loss is very small, since the beginning of Bitcoin, no one has suffered a loss due to price in long-term investment. But many have lost their funds, some have been victims of fraud or hacks or due to carelessness. It is not that there will be no loss due to price in the future, but the possibility is very small.

That is why it is advised not to invest all your assets and invest with the money you can afford to lose. The future is very uncertain, so you have to be prepared for any possibility. While investing, we should never create the wrong idea in our minds that profit is certain or loss is certain. There is nothing to say that investment is certain, there may be a difference in possibilities.

If we're going by Bitcoin market history, holding it for a long time offers huge chances of making profit but it's a volatile coin so it doesn't necessarily guarantee automatic profit.

But if you're talking about long-term investment generally, that's a different topic, one can hold an investment for 10 years and still not even get back their capital value. So the chances of making profit is mostly tied to the asset you're holding not the duration you had them in your portfolio.

And in order for investors not to sell below their entry point they now have to be willing to HODL for long term gains and not investing for short term because the short term risk of loss is high. In bitcoin investment, patience is very important, not trying to invest in bitcoin for a get rich quick, always invest without being greedy, don’t borrow to invest and if you must borrow to invest then make sure you have a reliable source of paying back the money and not to rely on your bitcoin investment.

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.

Profits are not guaranteed when investing in Bitcoin for a long period of time because the market is very volatile and the price of Bitcoin drops at any time so if you hold Bitcoin for a long time with your capital and the price of Bitcoin falls during that time then you may not have a guaranteed profit, as evidenced by the fact that in October last year Bitcoin touched $126K ATH and Bitcoin price dumped more than 3% in that month.So the main condition of investment is that one should invest in Bitcoin through discretionary income.

Even if Bitcoin investment is held patiently for 5-10 years i.e. two cycles, profit may not be guaranteed.But historically there is a possibility of profit from bitcoin investment in long term and another important thing is to ensure profit from bitcoin investment through our earned naira first of all we need to secure bitcoin as there have been some hardware wallet hacking this year.

Sure, long term investment in bitcoin can’t give you full guarantees of getting benefits, but they is always possibility of getting it when you invest and get that patient for a long term and wait for the price to increase. Bitcoin is volatile, and we will always invest when we have the capability to invest in it and get profit.

Some investors always have full confidence of getting profit when they invest for a long period of term, because they plan the future and set a target. Anything you’re doing, when you have set your investment target, you will always get the best when you have the mind to keep for long periods of term, and bitcoin is volatile, no matter the long term, one day he will reach your goal, and you will get the profit you deserve, but patience is the key to succeed in Bitcoin investment.

The rule should never be to sell at all, at least for those person that are investing for long time. Yes I know that nothing is set in stone concerning whether bitcoin is guaranteed to bring profit, but am sure as hell that long term investing has some level of assurance for good return than when someone involves in reckless selling because of price.

Some guys may see selling as a normal thing for them. But I see selling as a kind of thing that can make the person progress to be slow as a snail especially when they haven't reached the period they planned to hold for. The main focus of anyone should always be to ongoingly increasing their stash using the money that they can afford to loose. They should also get some emergency funds so that that can undoubtedly keep they way from recklessly selling.

Short term holding is mostly regarded as trading because buy and sell order is based on volatility and fear for total loss. Greed has also being a problem with bitcoin investment and that has spoilt the purpose of Bitcoin investment.

For a person investing in bitcoin, there should be a set period of maturity for that investment to avoid panic selling and FUD on the long run. The biggest mistake any investor would make in bitcoin is selling below their entry point, and that would be as a result of disorganized investment management.

‎Conclusion
‎Long- terms investors can be guarantee of making profit if only they have a good disciplined investment strategy.

In as much as long term investments doesn't really guarantee making profit discipline actually goes a long way and this is what increases the chances of making profits. There's a 90 percent chance of investors in Bitcoin that are disciplined to make money from it and being discipline mainly entails being patient because that's what the market rewards. Not everyone can keep holding especially when the market is going through a dip phase.

The mistake that a lot of people make is that they sell their coins due to FOMO, pressure or fear of losing. Selling during a dip isn't a good idea because it puts investors on the losing end.

Point of correction, there's no guarantee profits for an investor whether long term or not cause the future is unknown and you can't use the past or present to judge the future but hope that it would be better. Historically, Bitcoin has facts that could convince anyone that it would maintain being valueable in the future.
 However we just can conclude based on those historical facts but continue believing in the potential of Bitcoin even though we can't perfectly predict or tell what the future would be like.

I do think that Bitcoin's performance in the past should give people hope that it will do better in the future, but then again I think people still need to be realistic. At times individuals simply become so certain that Bitcoin has come a long way over the years that they don't realize that the market can turn around in ways that no one actually expects. Investing for the long term is not simply about expecting that the price will go up in the future.  It's also a matter of knowing how much you can afford to invest without putting yourself in a difficult situation financially.

A person may think that he or she will continue to hold Bitcoin for the next 4-10 years but the moment there's an emergency and you have no backup funds to cover that emergency, then you'll have no other choice than to force yourself and sell at a loss. So no matter what you do, don't invest with money that is needed for daily expenses, if you don't have any spare money available at the moment then skipping that particular week/month will not affect your investment.

Investing in bitcoin for the long term doesn't mean profit is guarantee at the end of the investment. Holding bitcoin for a long term doesn't make the investment to be risk free , because there is a chance of losing money.  however bitcoin past history has proven reward long term holders than short term holders.
It is wrong to think that when someone that is holding bitcoin , follows a disciplined investment strategy that profit is guarantee. Being disciplined can not remove the effect of market volatility.

What knowledge do you need after investing in bitcoin you sound like bitcoin investment is like farm work where you need to be watering your plants for them to grow very well. An investor that wants to make profit will go for long term if he chooses bitcoin then he has nothing to lose if he stays without touching his investment for at least 10 years. The only thing you will need after investing with your spare money is to protect your wallet, keep your see phase safe and avoid checking your wallet always, if you can stay for ten years before visiting your wallet again I don't think you can lose any penny. Long term is the goal if you want to make profit in bitcoin you won't lose unless you sold at loss.

Some people do think that just because they are holding bitcoin for a long term then it means that they are entitled to make profits after the long term holding. That not exactly how it works, just imagine if that how it works then everyone will invest in bitcoin after-all isn’t it just to hold for a long period of time then we get our profits.
Investing in bitcoin even for a long term doesn’t guarantee profits but there are higher possibilities of making profit because history has proven that almost every year bitcoin make sure it goes higher than before even if not all years but most so we have higher chances of success when holding for a long term but still profits isn’t guaranteed, we could end up losing everything and that just bitcoin investment.

Yes it can guarantee profit but if it is in a solid project.
Investing in some altcoins for long can be a disaster, if you hold for long, the project can go bankrupt and you might lose everything, but if you invested in solid projects, you will always be in profit and will be happy to have been a long term investor if that project.

For altcoins, I can’t say, but BNB, ETH, and maybe SOL are long term projects that has been successful, but I can’t advice due any altcoin anymore; Bitcoin long term investment is only what I can advise people to do because it is the most reliable one.

[Sonia_123]

There is no guarantee that any long term investor will successful make profit at the end, but history has it in records that the early adaptors of Bitcoin made good profit but not a hundred percent, it all depends on how the investor manages it's investment.

A serious bitcoin investor that is determined to invest and hodl it for a long term of 4-10 years or more will make sure he adopts a friendly and easy strategy that will make him invest ongoingly,consistently, persistently using your dca strategy no matter how little he can invest at least $10 daily and aggressively when he has more funds to himself irrespective of the price .

It is normal for Bitcoin to experience market correction during the bear season but that does not means that remains like that and not gain correction and most investors out of fear sells part of their investment and still wants to be more profitable unlike those that does not sell at all. Long-term hodl of bitcoin always yield good profit.

[Ronsbit]

OP, I believe you are talking about Bitcoin investment here and it being the subject of discussion, I will say that Bitcoin could generate a good profit in a long term because with time it appreciates in value overtime. Why am I saying this, since Bitcoin inception till this moment, it has added much value compared to it's market value as at when it began trading in the market. Over the years, it's price keep growing and till now it has done much better than when it began trading so therefore, the price will keep appreciating with time in the long run so long term investors would have enough to take as profit from their long term holding.

‎Conclusion
‎Long- terms investors can be guarantee of making profit if only they have a good disciplined investment strategy.

I will always make my emphasis more on bitcoin when it comes to long term investment. They are the only asset that has some level of trust and assurance in them while holding it for the long term will make you to be profitable at it. The only reason people don’t get to be profitable through investing in bitcoin is their approach in the market, they easily fail because they’re failed to plan from onset.

With good investment strategy, you don’t have a problem with the long term outcome of your bitcoin investment because it has been on an upward trajectory since the inception of it. So you’re at a very good stance of profiting from it as long as you remain patient and follow the due process while the market trends in the direction of profiting from the market.
