I'll just hold into my Bitcoins for a long time. There are various reasons to this. First of all, I think that the 21 Bitcoin Computer is too expensive for it's mining hashrate (which would probably be low GH/s) and second, I don't trust on cloud mining services anymore. I've been scammed to many times and lost huge amounts of profit over the last years. Sites such as cloudminr.io, GAW Miners and Hashprofit paid once in a time, but then they shutdown their services and ran away with the people's money. So in my opinion, it is recommended to hold onto your Bitcoins until it is the perfect time to invest. Patience is key here
I agree patience is key, but how long should you keep a currency that's not generating more of itself?
I mean if in one year i can double my
BTC input, if i start with 1BTC and go for 5 years, i will still have more than the guy who held 20 BTC from the start. While we're both "waiting" for BTC to raise in value, let say 1000$ per. I will have started with 1BTC vs 20BTC and end up with 12000$ US more than "you".
So is just holding indefinitely the better plan?
Many people that bought bitcoin in 2013 of the price of 1000$ per bitcoin were waiting for it to rise, but now they lost about 80% of it - current bitcoin value is at 235$
Only early adopters before the rise to 1000$ got profit for holding bitcoin.
I don't understand the purpose of the 21 Computer. It's not a miner and cannot make profit. It's just holding the bitcoin network in it - for 400$. It's not an investment, a waste of money. You could download the network for free or you could use websites that contain the network.
Cloud mining website is giving money at the moment, but nothing gives free money forever and at some point will shut down.
Bitcoin prices are unstable at the moment, so it's a good way to start trading with bitcoin.
