There is always a risk of investing that involves money in the process of carrying out and that's why one must understand before getting involved in any form of investment, although people say if one is willing to take risks, then the chances of success are far greater. At least we often listen to this advice, but in my opinion someone should have the option to analyze these risks, even including bitcoin investments that have proven to be good in the long term or short term.
The gradual rise in the price of bitcoin as we started experiencing this January 2023 from around 17k to now 23k (as at when this thread was made), is been described by some traders as a false bull which everyone should be careful about, but then, I wonder how something we all have been expecting while approaching the year 2023 is now coming into play, yet some persons still feel it's a false bull, while some others are pulling in more money due to the bull signs of this January. What do we think about this as a community here?
There is no big worry about the current market reaction, although the possibility of a fake stronghold that makes bitcoin has increased, if you pay attention to the long process that bitcoin has gone through, there are many roles involved when the price starts to recover and gradually increases, this relationship is not can be studied in the form of a reference or four-year cycle relationship is the big name of the gradual recovery process towards more stable prices.
In the economic concept, goods increase as a result of demand and supply, although this cannot be calculated whether or not this occurs in bitcoin, scarcity, choice and decision making usually apply. There is hope for bitcoin this year, before heading to the next ATH.
As for me, I believe profit in business comes with risk taking(calculative risk) whether long or short, all anyone should always hold to heart is don't risk more than you are ready to let go in the case of loss.
The role of risk is always involved in every decision that is taken, the next question is how ready is someone to take risks, if bitcoin returns to a severe correction stage or towards a more severe negative trend?
This answer can be answered if one understands the bitcoin cycle.
