Are Long-Term Investors Guaranteed to Make a Profit?

[Oyoyoma_yu]

There is no 100% guarantee in any investment because there are some unforseen circumstances that can affect your investment making you not to achieve the required profit. However as a Bitcoin investor to increase the hope of making profit for long term start by protecting your investment, let your portfolio be well protected, because once your portfolio is vulnerable, you are going to loose your investment. Besides Bitcoin is very volatile , and monitoring the price movement of your Bitcoin on regular intervals can trigger emotions making you to take drastic action that can make you sell your asset. So there are many things things that can make one not to make good profit in cryptocurrency investment, and when those areas are well protected making profit becomes something acheivable.

Investing for long term takes a lot of discipline and determination because most people don't always hold for long even after saying they are investing for long term initially. You are right, the worst mistake someone will make will be to invest with money outside their discretionary income because it will definitely backfire and using money outside discretionary income is same thing as gambling because you will be prone to panicking or even selling at loss, lastly, holding for long term doesn't guarantee profit because a lot can happen

There's always a risk in every investment and this also includes bitcoin investment as well and as a bitcoin investor it is important to remind yourself of the fact that anything can happen but a lot of people have a misconception about this by a lot of people and the reason is probably because they weren't really given proper orientation of what the market is all about. When introducing someone to Bitcoin investment it is important to also tell them about the possibility of losing so they don't expect too much.

Every investment comes with its own risk for a certainty. Investors needs to be learn to accept every investment as a risky adventure before embarking on them. Bitcoin might have proven to have a good ROI ratio over the years but because it is volatile asset anything can happen even if it doesn't reduce to complete zero it might just decide to go against the regular trend and keep investors in temporal panic. Having a mindset open to how price chooses to move at every point makes investment worth risking because it helps keep us in check and also ensure we invest an amount we can afford to lose.

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.

Bitcoin's long-term potential is certainly very strong. But it is difficult to guarantee current decisions based on past results. As Bitcoin reaches a new ATH, it is normal for it to fall 50-60%. So, just because someone says to hold it for 4-10 years, it does not eliminate the risk. If someone invests money that he needs after 1-2 years, then he may be forced to sell it even when the market is bad, even if he has a long-term plan. Here, his 10-year plan has not worked. That is why it is definitely not easy to give in the case of Bitcoin. This does not mean that long-term investment in Bitcoin will become meaningless.

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.

The reason why a lot of people fall for panic selling is because they don't invest discretionary income, this is the challenge that a lot of investors have when it comes to investing in bitcoin. Using funds meant for emergencies to invest in bitcoin is actually dangerous because there's a high chance of acting based on emotions when you invest with the funds that you cannot afford to lose.

[AYOBA]

Having a better understanding about Bitcoin gives one the opportunity to understand the application of Bitcoin. Many thoughts that Bitcoin works like ponzi scheme that one's money is invested, after some times, the would have recovered with interest what ever amount that was invested. Investing what someone can be able to lose should Incase of anything happens during the process of the investment.
Market speculation has made many investment sell off there investment therefore losing some part of there investment out tof fear.

Honestly knowledge should be the first thing we need to consider before everything when we come to Bitcoin investments, but most new investors think that since the capital is part of what they need to invest that’s why they don’t bother to get some knowledge about Bitcoin.
 
No matter how long they plan to hold the Bitcoin if they don’t have little knowledge or understanding about the Bitcoin investments it still nothing, because lack of understanding is what make some think of selling at losing when they see that the market is not going the way they think; and that lead them to sell all their Bitcoin assets at losing instead of them to wait for the right moment to sell.

When an investor is investing with a fund that he cannot afford to lose then he will surely panic when the market starts dropping. There are some investors who out of their quest of making huge profits tends to invest with huge amounts they might be needing soon and Most people go into bitcoin investment without making arrangements for any backup or reserve funds to sustain them even though their investment is not yet in a good position or profit. Bitcoin investment is a gradual process and it requires investors to invest according to their financial means to enable them achieve the desired long term goals.

If right from the start an investor makes it clear that he is staying invested for a set period of time, that will save him from all the short term emotional issue that arises as a result of poor planning and and not well thought out investment decision. if right from the start you know that whatever you are putting into your bitcoin investment stays for at least four years, within that period your primary concern would be on how to stack even more chunk of bitcoin and not to sell the little you were able to accumulate.

There might not be a 100% guarantee of a certain amount as returns in the future but if you are not selling in a haste, then you have also succeeded in eliminating any form of loss out of the equation.

That's the problem, a lot of people don't invest with their discretionary income and an amount of money that they can afford to lose that's the reason why they end up selling their coins. But asides from people investing an amount of money they cannot afford to lose another problem is that they lack emotional discipline this is because they don't bother to study market psychology which is an important aspect of getting involved in cryptocurrency investment.

You have to remember that investment will never guarantee profit to an investor. Why not just invest in Bitcoin? Even if you do a physical business, you cannot say for sure that you will make a profit. However, if you can invest consistently in the right coin for a long time, then there is a good possibility of profit for the investors. However, one important thing here is that after starting the journey with the purpose of investment, it should not be converted into trading. For example, if an investor invests in Bitcoin, his intention is to continue investing continuously, but due to some changes in the market, he decides to sell and buy again, then this falls into trading and it is foolish to think about profit in the investment with the purpose of this trading.

[Su-asa]

According to the title " Are long term investors guarantee to make a profit"? Well I guess the answer is in two ways because first we know that no investment is completely certain or guarantee of profit because anything can happen at anytime but we hope we don't become victim of those, so No, long term investor doesn't guarantee profit but like I always say, if the asset we are investing in do continue to exist and appreciate in this long period of time then our profit will be sure. However, it is always advised to use discretionary income since no investment is guarantee.

That's accurately said, it is better to always invest with discresionary income because you cannot really tell if you are going to make profit from the investment. The mistake a lot of people make is that they assume just because an investment like Bitcoin has a high chance of being profitable than making profits is certain, but it is very important to understand there are risks in every investment and that is something investors must always have in mind.

There is no 100% guarantee in any investment because there are some unforseen circumstances that can affect your investment making you not to achieve the required profit. However as a Bitcoin investor to increase the hope of making profit for long term start by protecting your investment, let your portfolio be well protected, because once your portfolio is vulnerable, you are going to loose your investment.

One should not only hope for profit but also remember that if the market conditions are bad, one can lose his own money. However, many people start thinking about investing in Bitcoin for the long term but change their decision after seeing the slightest fluctuations in the market. If a person buys $ 50 worth of Bitcoin every month. When the price suddenly drops, he sells it all out of fear, and when the price starts to rise, he buys it at a higher price. If you change your decision repeatedly, you are more likely to lose money instead of making a profit.

And if you sell a part of your investment, when necessary, it cannot be called trading. Again, even if you save Bitcoin for a long time, there is no guarantee of profit. So, I think, before you start investing, you should understand your financial situation and make a plan. Because if you keep changing your decision with every fluctuation in the market, the real purpose of investing in the long term may be lost.

If I may say, it's high time and obvious that many people today are just comes into bitcoin with higher expectations, without even knowing how to controls thier decisions in every hard or difficult time. It's very paramount that one should know why they are purchasing bitcoin and how valuable it maybe in the future, exepecially when holding it for long-term period, if at all, settle all the the bills and keep aside funds for any unexpected expenses or emergency that may comes up, to make the bitcoin investment journey more easier is by building a strong source of income and be investing gradually without stress. What bitcoin really needs is patience and have a financial disciplines along the line.

‎ 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.

Investing for long term is not a guarantee of a massive growth, what can give you massive growth or yield is how much you have been able to invest in that long term. Some people invest very little amount and expect huge returns in the long term but it's unlikely to happen because imagine someone who invested just $1000 and expecting it to yield high profits. If it were when bitcoin was still around $0.0041 during that time that Laszlo used 10000 bitcoins to buy 2 pizzas then someone who invested with $1000 will experience a massive growth now and not when the price is above $80,000 and you expect a massive growth when you do not even own up to 1 BTC.

Even though i encourage aggressive buying of bitcoin, but you still have to remember not everyone can do that since we all have different financial situation. So don’t make it sound like a do or die to invest big, leave small investors to buy according to what they can comfortably afford. You should also know that the amount used to invest is not the only factor that determines investment success…. The longer you hold and how high bitcoin price peaks over time matter too.

It is not right to expect high from a small capital. But initially an investor thinks so if he starts accumulation Bitcoin SAT because he has seen the past price history and how investors have made huge profits in a short period of time. If someone expects this, it will probably not be fair because in the changed situation, the global economy will not be in favor due to the increase in inflation. The impact of the global recession can affect almost every level of your life and can create a crisis of cash funds among investors.

It is not wrong to expect huge growth by investing in Bitcoin for this you need to adopt a long term investment plan and implement it. Accumulate Bitcoin and run regular DCA through discretionary income without expecting too much.

Sure, there is no 100% assurance of making profit from your investment. For Bitcoin, we all know, the volatility of the asset makes it difficult to be completely assured of profit anytime you want it. Perhaps, you might have to wait for a long time before you think of cashing out from Bitcoin, or you might have to dance to its tune. This has made so many people turn in for trading rather than HODL, because it takes time to yield profits, and you may not even know the actual time these profits might begin to come.

Apart from profit issues, one can unintentionally sell there coins due to pressure or lack of preparedness for Saving there assets, and when this assets begin to appreciate, you begin to regret why you ever touched it or sold some part earlier. There are just so many things involved, and you just need patience to follow through, else, your profit isn't guaranteed.

Diversification is understandable but moving from Bitcoin investment straight to trading shows a lack of proper planning. There is a possibility that you might lose the profits that you have made from investing in Bitcoin when you put it into trading. For some investors they see it as a good idea to sell their coins when the market is going through a dip and then use that amount of money to trade which might end up being a terrible mistake. This isn't to say that investing in Bitcoin gives a guaranteed profit but when done correctly there's a high chance of being in profit.

It is better to buy Bitcoin based on your capacity. There are investors that have enough funds to invest in Bitcoin and there are also those that have less funds to invest in Bitcoin and everyone need to invest based on what they can afford.
Long term investors need to have sufficient amount to be buying Bitcoin and it will be better for them to use the DCA for Bitcoin accumulation. It is easier to invest in Bitcoin using the DCA strategy than buying randomly without having a goal or ambition to accomplish.

[SOKO-DEKE]

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.

Anything that we can't actually predict about the future, we can't say is guaranteed. As for Bitcoin, nobody knows what the future holds. The reason why you are saying that making a profit from Bitcoin is guaranteed if someone can hold it for a long period is based on Bitcoin's past records. However, we can't just use that to confidently say that making a profit from Bitcoin is guaranteed.The chances of making a profit from Bitcoin when holding it for the long term are there, but I can't assure anyone that profit is guaranteed. Holding Bitcoin for 5-10 years has been a strategy many experienced investors have predicted could lead to profits, but still, nobody can assure anyone of that. And that is one reason experience crypto people always advise people to invest only what they can afford to lose.
