a friend of mine came to me and he asked, is it possible to invest in bitcoin and crypto for the short term,? which is to meet daily needs, and I am confused to answer because I am still a beginner in bitcoin and crypto. and I want to ask everyone about it?
I think you friend has a very wrong information or perception about bitcoin. He feels investing in bitcoin is like a small scale business where you make some profit for daily survival. If he is searching for a business that would give him daily income, maybe he should consider starting a firewood business to assist homes that are experiencing power cuts or high cost of gas. Cooking gas in my country have soared to almost 80% high and people are searching for other source of fuel.
If he really wants to invest in bitcoin he must have the virtues of patience and courage. Your friend must be willing to Hodl bitcoin for a long time because the bullish market season is unpredictable.
It is possible to do that, but if it is to fulfil his daily needs, he needs to learn to analyze the ups and downs of the market so that he can buy and sell bitcoins for profit. From that profit, he can fulfil his daily needs, and if he is more proficient in analyzing the market, he will be able to get more profits. It's just a matter of time before your friend can benefit, and it depends on how he learns. Maybe you can also study with your friend so that you and he can share each other's experiences to improve your abilities.
How can one meet his daily needs from a market that sometimes experience losses for weeks. OP's friend wants an investment that he can derive funds that would sustain him daily. There is a possibility that he might loose even half of his investment in one day.
