Most importantly every bitcoin investor should know that Bitcoin is an investment that is invented for long term purpose, so as an investor you have position your mind in the long-term benefit because you may not be able to achieve your goals within a short period of time, choose bitcoin, choose buying and forgetting for a long term holding.
maybe you should understand that Bitcoin was not created initially as an asset for investment or profit making purpose but was rather created to allow a peer to peer electronic cash system, the intention was to create a currency that would allow people to transact directly without the need for banks or governments regulations but along the line, considering the volatile nature of Bitcoin we now understand that by buying and holding on to our Bitcoin, we can actually have profits and good returns in the long run which makes it an investible asset.
I understand that as long as we are considering buying Bitcoin for the sake of the profit we intend getting out of it, long term holding is always going to be preferable to any other options like short term investment but let's get the fact right that Bitcoin was not invented for only the long term bases. There are people that don't buy Bitcoin because they necessarily want to make any huge profit out of thier holdings, for some, it might just be a perfect option to save their fiat such that inflation doesn't affect it and even though they are able to leave it for a year or two, it might work well for them. But for us here that are interested in making good profit out of our investment, there is no two ways about it and I totally agree with you that long term investment is the best way to go if we want yo make profit out of it.
Yeah bitcoin wasn't really created as an investment opportunity but as it is I'll rather say this is the stage of adoption of bitcoin that we are in now, people have to get attracted to something new through a part of it and at this point investing in bitcoin as an asset, bitcoin also offers a lot more than just profits, they are a lot of other empowerment that it offers.
- As a good means to store value: fait is continually beign printed everyday and this means that it has an infinite supply and therefore due to the law of scarcity fait is flawed cause it is always readily available and the value would continue to decrease, but bitcoin on the other hand has a fixed supply so you should worry less about inflation of Value,
For instance if you save your money in fait like having 30$ in the bank and you keep for 2 years when you come to your money , it won't be worth as much as it was when you kept it cause inflation would have eaten a lot of its value up since more money has been printed since youblast kept your money, but if you kept 30$ in Bitcoin, not only would it appreciate in value but it would also retain that 30$ value that it once had, so 30$ in Bitcoin is better than 30$ in fait, so this is also one of the other empowerment that it offers.
