Can you make it a profited count if your present rate of value is lower than your past?
I miss something in the post or you did not express your idea well.
Profit comes only if your sell price is higher than your buy price. It must count for fee from trading fee too. If a difference between buy and sell prices is too small, it will mean nothing after you take trading fee into account (trading fee for both two tradings, buy and sell).
So my question is... If Bitcoin price at this era would hit maybe $47K as it was in 2022 or $68K as 2021, I am sure investors would be appreciated about the level of volatily but would those who accumulated their Bitcoins and had experienced such values in the history count an appreciatable profit? Because I feels they should be expecting a higher price value so as to beat their experience price histories.
In any market cycle, there will be people who buy low, sell high and other people who buy high, sell low. Even more, there are people who buy low or even buy high, miss the all time high, miss the chance to take profit, then they hold their bitcoins and wait for a new bull run.
You only get profit or get loss if you sell your bitcoin.
MicroStrategy and El Salvador got profit with their investment in Bitcoin, with continuous DCA.
