Are Long-Term Investors Guaranteed to Make a Profit?

[Miles2006]

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

Every investment choice is risky, the method applied cannot fully predict our investment outcome meaning the strategy used sometimes is not the right strategy to approach the bitcoin market and then an investor might end up with loss.
Long term investors are guaranteed to make profit, sometimes along the line a lot of people miss their chance of earning profit even with a long term plan. Firstly every strategy needs planning, a good management determines our investment outcome which involves holding for the long term, DCA and other basic step to follow in achieving the goal.

[Out of mind]

In long-term investment, there is no guarantee that you will make a profit, but if you can choose the right asset, there is a possibility of making a long-term profit. If you plan to invest in an asset that has no good future for long-term holding, then you will definitely face losses from here. Therefore, choose an asset that you can profit in the future and the asset where you invest has a good future.
When you invest for the long term, you have to be patient because you can face a lot of losses due to market fluctuations and volatility. And when you invest in real estate for the long term, you have to face losses if you hold it for a long period due to inflation. So I think you have to invest in a place where there is no possibility of loss in the future and the possibility of profit is maximum.
Long-term investment in virtual currencies can be very profitable, especially in Bitcoin. When investing in Bitcoin, hold it in such a way that you can be patient during market volatility. If you invest in Bitcoin through the DCA strategy, the possibility of future losses is low and the possibility of profit is high, and there is no fear of inflation. Long-term investment in Bitcoin is profitable, but it must be held with patience and maximum security.

You are right that the strategy that seems more logical to us may not give good results in the future. In particular, some investors look at the issue of Bitcoin investment from different perspectives. Those who started with short term trading in the beginning return to long term investment after a while because they can understand that the right investment strategy is to stay long term.

Your decision may not always be correct because you are well aware of how much you will earn and how much discretionary income will be from it. If you can understand that the strategy of getting profit in the beginning will not be correct, it is possible to reduce the possibility of losses in the future.

You do not need to apply any strategy if you accumulate Bitcoin in the DCA method and consider the period of 1 or 2 cycles or 4-10 years. An investor of any income can ensure high returns in the future by accumulation Bitcoin regularly in this method.

You are absolutely right, long term Investors are guaranteed to make profits if they are disciplined but it is not just discipline that's required for anyone to be profitable when it comes to long term investments but also it's very vital to be patient. In a long term Investment like putting money in Bitcoin for example a lot of people end up selling their coins out of impatience, it's not easy to wait for 5 to 10 years or maybe more.


Investing is easier said than done until you actually do it, not everyone has the mental fortitude to invest in Bitcoin this is the reason why there are other options in the crypto market that's open to everyone like short term investments or trading, this is for those that cannot wait patiently for a long period of time.

You've said well but don't forget conviction cause it's also important for an investor, the future is uncertain but when you develop a continuous belief that Bitcoin maintains it's good record of progressive nature, you'll be more eager to to maintain discipline and be patient to keep holding for the future.

 Yes, "practice makes someone perfect" merely knowing and saying you'll invest without doing it is procrastination but when it's practicalised that's when one would get a better understanding of what investing is all about it.

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.

Long term investments must be from a discretionary income that is set aside to buy Bitcoin at steady intervals of time, most of the time the loses comes when the investors use the money meant for other things pressing to invest in Bitcoin which is money he can not afford to hold till it turns into the desired profits, most of the mistakes in this wrong Bitcoin investments mindset comes from the quick to get rich through Bitcoin profits mentality this affects the overall outlook of the individual, if the price goes against their buy price and the need for the money arise and no other sources except to liquidate their Bitcoin holding.

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.

If we go by the performance of bitcoin since it was introduced till now, I will say that there are no losses for long term investors. The problem with most investors is that they don't know what being a long term investor mean. Some people thinks that if you HODL bitcoin for like a year or two that you are a long term investor but it is not true. Before you can call yourself a long term investor, you must have invested and HODL for like 10 years and above because when you invest and HODL for that long interval, there will be low chances of losing because by that time the price of bitcoin must have increased above X2 of the price it was when you bought.

What I'm trying to point out is that people should know what it means to invest with what you can afford to lose, this rule only applies to what you are buying at one particular point in time and not what you've bought over time so whenever you are buying bitcoin you should make sure to not go beyond what you can handle so you don't end up needing that particular money for something else.
So when we are talking about buying with what you can afford to lose, we are only talking about individual buys and not your entire portfolio.

Yeah, this is very valid. I think it's a common thing for people to think about an entire Bitcoin investment_(portfolio) when they hear something like "using a funds that you can afford to lose", rather than thinking about what they can afford to use at a regular interval. I don't think anybody would be willing to lose their entire portfolio... Every investor only has one thing in mind aside profits, and that's not to lose their investment.

But again, having a decent discretionary income in this part of the world where the currency value isn't that strong compared to the US dollar, automatically means that a person needs to have a decent job, or perhaps, more than one source of income if possible. Different levels of discretionary income comes with different investment paces.

This is very important, the problem with a lot of investors is that they think just because there's a high chance of making profits from bitcoin investment after holding for a long term means borrowing from different places is the right step to take then they are already taking the wrong route. Bitcoin investment should only be made with discresionary income and not an amount of money that is borrowed because this could actually lead to losses. The reason why a lot of people end up selling their coins is because they invest an amount of money that they cannot afford to lose either because it's borrowed or meant for something important, that's why they up selling their coins.

Yes some people thought that long time is just maybe 1 to 2 years in Bitcoin investment long time is actually more than just 2-3 years but 4 years and above. Since the existence of Bitcoin i haven't heard of a long time investors saying that they have lost money investing in Bitcoin unless those who just trade Bitcoin for a short time profit, there is a big hope of making profit from Bitcoin investment if people can just be accumulating Bitcoin using their discretionary income and hold for 4-10 or more.

‎Always bear this as a key point
‎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.

Long term investment can make you profits but do not guarantee anyone profits no matter how long they want to invest because investment has no guarantee of profits giving so it's better you don't promise anyone profits to avoid being held responsible for the bad results that they get. Investment are personal decision therefore any result that you get should be because of the decision that you took and not because of what others told you to do. It's better to invest for long term because it can give you more advantage to make nore profits than when you're investing short term and if that investment is in Bitcoin then it is better to always think longer years for holding. How long is not limited to few years because the more you're holding, it increases the amount of profits you can make and if I was in your position I'll prefer holding long and knowing that I can sell when the price of Bitcoin gets to bigger prices but I still know that nothing is guaranteed in investing and it's a risk that I'm taking.

Long term Bitcoin investing is not guaranteed to make you a lot of money, but it is guaranteed to build a large Bitcoin stack. Let’s say you are accumulating Bitcoin for a period of 4 years. It is not guaranteed that you will be profitable after this period. Take another 4 year target and accumulate Bitcoin regularly. Long term Bitcoin investing is the best way to decide a sustainable withdrawal period. Use the funds that you can afford to lose. Accumulate Bitcoin with discretionary income.

Using discretionary income is risk management. Don’t accumulate Bitcoin with funds that you will need in recent future. Maintaining cash flow, having emergency funds available are all part of risk management.

You made a good point, investing in bitcoin and holding for a long period of time doesn’t practically guarantee profits just because we are holding but there are chances of us making profits out of the investment at the end but it isn’t something guaranteed or something we can bank on and fully rely on. Invest with the money you can afford to loss and invest with your discretionary income and our expectations on bitcoin being something reliable to earn us profits at the end should be reduced  because any outcome can come and we might end up feeling disappointed.
We shouldn’t over do the investment by investing outside our discretionary income or taking loans or borrowing money to invest in it because that is wrong.

Yes, there is no possibility that an investor will profit by investing in the long term. An investor should always invest from a prudent income and not keep it in his extra expectesion. No one knows when the Bitcoin market will fall or rise in value, so it is not possible to say that an investor will definitely profit from the investment. However,

 if someone can take his investment to a good cycle, then maybe he can make some profit, but there is no certainty. Before investing in Bitcoin, it is good to know about its advantages and that there is no certainty of profit from Bitcoin investment.
