Topic: invest for Capital preservation and capital appreciation: (Read 147 times)

A lot of variables are concerned about investors investing in Bitcoin which are basically to make Interests.
The thing is that when investors have a dependent source of income aside their Bitcoin investment, they are privileged to keep holding and preserving of their Bitcoin assets and also keep stacking without adhering to FOMO or considering the fact that the current price of Bitcoin is hovering around a particular value does not have potentials of yielding profits.
It is just assumed that they are saving up for future plan with the potentials of making profits and can even be of retirement purposes.

While those who are not alternatively financial bouyant are   stick to FOMO and always considers the minimization of the amount of their buying more on the DCA because their targets are to accumulate and secure chances to make income.

Personally as long as I am still on the race of trying to be in the social status of rich or wealthy I wouldn't jeopardize my chance of making profit for the love of Bitcoin or any other thing. We all want to maximise bitcoin by making profit in order to achieve a status quo rich in the society, hence buying bitcoin is majorly for the sole purpose of profit making but when it appears that the profit isn't the goal any more I will keep buying bitcoin if the price keeps a stable movement at the 100kish level but if the price is at the peak I would buy for profit maximisation because at any given moment I expect the price to fall hence losses is applicable but if in a long term expectation I wouldn't border because the number of coin acquired can not change rather the value only changes hence after 4 years which is the bitcoin circle we expect the bull season and new ATH hence profit will still be maximised.

What I'm saying in essence is if for store of value only I would chose a stable coin like USDT for a short term purpose but for long term I would option for bitcoin because at the end I wouldn't loss instead profit will be the end result.

Usually not many investors will want to hodl their bitcoin after they observe say price don begin drop. Therefore, even DCA no go market again because most go want withdraw from investing at least initially when the price begin to drop because if price begin drop it may get to a very ridiculous price before it will regain stability and probably begin go up, nobody want make him investment begin drop. But if with time price stabilize over some time then people go enter again. So surely when there is reduction in price, investors go out of market and that is why price dey drop more at such times until it will pick again.

For me whether there is reduction or no reduction in price, stacking my bitcoin is my utmost priority because no matter how volatile the low price is, it will inventually come up, that way I am preserving my capital and saving value for the future. Investing your capital in bitcoin is more like escaping inflation because over time your capital will be increasing in value, that is why holding for a long time has it's own advantage too. So even when the price hovers around $100k- $120k, it won't stop or reduce my DCA method.

It is an extablished fact that Bitcoin is an edge to inflation as you said and that's because it not controlled by the government or anybody and also not a paper money, this digital asset faces depreciation in price but it's value remain that's where many people misunderstand it, I come to understand that the volatility of Bitcoin is the reason for its value and existence, the problem of fiat is not only the depreciation, the major problem of fiat is the value overtime, fiat keep losing value because of inflation, inflation is the major problem of paper money because aa production cost increase, the value for paper money can not be eaqual to the good itself and as so doing fiat loses its purchasing power, keeping your wealth in Bitcoin is better because there is possibility of pump that may profit you and the percentage of the increase will be higher than when you dump your fiat in the bank, the banks and the government are the only people  that benefits whenever any deposit is been made in the bank,  this is the reason why the government started fighting fintech companies, because individuals noticed that online banks are more reliable and profit oriented than our commercial banks, so as it stands i cant stop doing the needful which is accumulating the little I can in Bitcoin because  no matter the dumps it can never be compared with fiat value.

Na so bitcoin dey keep our capital for us in the future and also increase the capital to make profit. And apart from that bitcoin na where on can just keep used money for years and when you go come back and see the profit wey you go get e go big well well. And Marvelockg you have said well bitcoin was created to pay things and not to make profit. And i have said it before people now interested in the profit making and not for di p2p. And di only time when bitcoin go become di leading currency in di world na when people go use am pay things and services.

Di world go sweet die.

if I'm not wrong, Bitcoin wasn't primary created as a profit maximization scheme but was rather created to provide full ownership and control over your wealth in a decentralized manner where you have full control of your Bitcoin and wouldn't have to be too bothered about what the over regulatory government policies would have on it. It got to gain relevance with time and became an asset that's of this value but that doesn't in any way suggest that Bitcoin is bitcoin because of the potential it has to increasing in it value with time.

Like I pointed out earlier, even if Bitcoin remains at a fixed range of worth over a longe range of time, it still has other potentials that makes it a very valuable asset and doesn't in any way mean that we don't need it or that it's now of less value because of such kind of scenario.

Apart from Bitcoin being a volatile asset that brings about its ability to cause our invested capital to appreciate, Bitcoin has other good features which includes;

1. decentralized: which reduce government interference and wouldn't allow you experience cases of your account being frozen for reason best known to them
2. security:
3. Accessibility: which means it's usable by everyone regardless of the class or the person or the region the person belongs
4. Inflation edge: which means if you save in Bitcoin, even if it doesn't increase too much with time, you won't experience any form of devaluation of your asset which makes it a better option to consider even in this kind of scenario over the fiat.
5. ownership: which is one of the most important part that allows you to have full access to your invested or in this context saved Bitcoin as long as you have access to your keys.

The reason I pointed these all out is because I still feel that even if Bitcoin gets to a form of stable worth in the future and don't really increase that much in it worth, it's still a better option to consider in terms of storage of financial value over a long period of time.[/list]

Op, I don't think there's any other reason why people invest if not for profit making and I don't think if there are people who invest for fun or to make loss. Bitcoin being stable or constant at a particular position or point won't be nice because it will really affect investors who deal on Bitcoin and some people can not be able to invest because of stability and there are people who wait for it to depreciate before they invest. However, I don't think bitcoin can be constant for years.

if the value of Bitcoin remains constant it means it has lost it investible quality and it will be deficult to still continue buying it since for most people, the primary purpose of buying Bitcoin is the hope that it will give them great returns in the future.

If you take away the potential that Bitcoin has in terms of it ability to increase in worth over a given period of time, buying Bitcoin will almost look like saving in fiat since from your assumption, you tend to paint an instance where bitcoin remains at a fixed value just like what we have with the fiat. The reason why people will general store there wealth in Bitcoin rather than keeping it in fiat form or saving it in banks is due to bitcoins potential of increasing in value overtime and trying to take that out of Bitcoin is attempting to take out the kernel of Bitcoin.

If I should continue holding or if I should buy more bitcoin, it will be based on my financial capability at that point in time. We are not just buying bitcoin to store and keep in our wallets for decoration purposes; they are kept for us to make profit. If the price of bitcoin hits my set target, the best I will do at that moment is to take profit first.

Bitcoin is an edge to inflation and fiat keeps on depreciating with time this is why no matter the level bitcoin price is, I will still continue to accumulate more bitcoin to keep the value of my funds from depreciating. I see bitcoin as my lifetime investment and I keep my savings in bitcoin because I know that in future, bitcoin will make me not regret about what I am doing today. Moreover, I get paid weekly from my signature campaign and I don't touch the funds as that is my bitcoin savings.

Whoever is buying bitcoin because he feels that bitcoin price will keep on pumping without correction or dips, does not understand the potentials of bitcoin, if not he will be happy to buy every time that he has money to buy.

One of the most talked about concepts on this forum has revolved around Bitcoin price movement and speculations as to when Bitcoin will hit a new ATH or get above $100k and the truth is that these upward volatility is a beautiful advantage of investing in Bitcoin but outside of the appreciation in value of our invested funds, it's necessary we also know that by investing in Bitcoin, we're also preserving our capital for future use.

So I'm kind of looking at a possible scenario where Bitcoin attains a sort of stable volatility and doesn't really increase too sharp in value and maybe maintain the range of $100k to $120k over a long period of time, if you're too fucosed on the appreciation aspect of your investment, it's most likely you might feel that you've not made the intended profit out of your investment but if you're stacking your Bitcoin with the mindset that you're preserving your capital on the one hand while allowing the time effect of holding on to your asset play the role of causing your investment to appreciate in value, it will help you to invest for the long term.

Let's talk about how your investment plan will look like if Bitcoin should revolve around $100k to $120k over a long period of time. Would you still continue buying for the purpose of preserving your capital for the long run or would a reduction in the upward volatility of Bitcoin cause you to reduce the pace of your DCA or stacking?
