Topic: investment in bitcoin should be short term or long term. - page 2. (Read 1587 times)

The most important thing to understand that this will definitely work for Bitcoin, the disciplined and patient will always be rewarded. This should not be attempted with altcoins, as most of them will most likely bring losses, but for Bitcoin it will be a great strategy.

Bitcoin is the foundation of the entire crypto market, and if something happens to it, I doubt that any other coin will be able to survive in this case, but there will always be bitcoin, no matter what troubles happen in the crypto market. This is especially true now, when we see so many bankrutpcies, the risks of losing funds are high, so invest in bitcoin and store it in a cold wallet, this is a simple but effective formula. I suppose that in a year or two we will see a bull market, which will please us very much.

Based on my observation, if you invest after the bitcoin halving, then your investment in it should be short-term because the price starts rising soon and you should try to catch the highest price and sell your bitcoins to profit from the bull market, so the rise of price lasts for one year, then the market crashes and charts decline.
But when you invest after the crash of bull market and the start of bear market, then your investment should be long-term, I mean you should leave your coins untouchable for at least 4 years, till the next halving.

So, to sum up, the mixture of short and long-term investment looks more attractive for me.

I agree with you.  And you have described it very clearly. bitcoin investment must be long term to gain potential profit. it is not necessary to holding 10 years. bitcoin can do a big pump within 1-2 years. But we can't guarantee anything so if we set a time frame for 10 years then we hope to get profit.  But a big problem is that we can't be patient and panic and sell our coins when the market starts to dump a bit. So long term investment is not possible for those who lack patience

Investment isn't a kind of gambling/lottery. But if you invest in shit coins or meme coins, I agree that it can be said to be gambling. So, gambling or not, it doesn't depend on how long you invest, it depends on what coins you invest in. People who invest in coins with good fundamentals must be based on deep research and analysis. They also use certain strategies to optimize profits. While gambling, mostly depends on luck. Research, analysis, or strategy may have no significant influence. So, basically, investment has a bit different approach.

Investing in Bitcoin, or any other investment, should be based on an individual's personal financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment goals.

Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset and its price can fluctuate rapidly, therefore it may be considered as a high-risk investment. Some investors may prefer to invest in Bitcoin for the short-term and take advantage of the price fluctuations to make a profit. Others may believe in the long-term potential of Bitcoin as a store of value and a hedge against inflation, and may choose to hold it for the long-term.

It's important to research and evaluate all the possible risks and rewards before making any investment decision, and to consult with a financial advisor or professional.

Not really, there is an investment that is good for short-term, mid-term, and long-term.  So investing in a short-term investment does not mean the investor is gambling.  Short-term investment example is day trading or swing trading, another example is real estate flipping where one buys real estate with an intention of quickly selling it for a higher price after some improvement and renovation.

Bitcoin can either be invested in the short, mid, or long term but among this method of investment, long term with occasional selling to increase the Bitcoin holding is proven to be the best approach to take the most profit.

Short-term investment can be considered gambling or lottery. You can lose (most probably) or you can win (if you're lucky). If it's time-limited and you need to cash out at some certain time it's always a bad idea. There's a significant chance you'll have to liquidate at a loss. 

Not all does have the patience on making yourself able to hold up for long term and literally speaking and comparing in between potential profits then the ones who do actively dealing with are the ones who have
the chance on earning more but of course you would really be needing to deal off something which would really be requiring that kind of risk taking which is something not all would really be willing in doing so.
Doesnt matter whether you do go for short term or long term when we do talk about bitcoin investment because it would really be your total choice on which one you would be sticking into.
It does vary and several factors would really be affecting such decision.

While a lot of people would agree with you on the potentials of bitcoin, I wouldn’t exactly say it’s a must to invest in bitcoin and for the long term. Bitcoin may seem like a favorable investment to you, that doesn’t mean it is to the next person.
Besides, if you’re aiming on holding for the long run, why bother yourself keeping daily check on the fluctuation of its price. Long term holders do not bother their head and heart about the current market price.

OP, investments generally yield more profits, if any after the long run. So choose wisely.

I think it can do both together, because Bitcoin is a perfect coin for both long-term and short-term investments.
And by doing a good DCA planning divides the income into several parts and some funds can be spent on long term and some short term investments. I myself am doing both long term investment and short term investment. But I would say that if there is no such lazy fund then short term investment is better than long term investment.

I think if you invest for short-term needs it might be recommended for the short term, but if you make bitcoin an alternative investment choice besides gold, I think you need to take the long term, because the long term is very promising, especially in a market like this, of course this is the right time for you to invest in bitcoin, and maybe you will get the best opportunity, in the near term you can get profit, as well as in the long term you will definitely get profit too.

I totally agree with your opinion, it all depends on each decision in investing in bitcoin, my advice is that before you invest in bitcoin you should first study things related to investing in bitcoin, you also shouldn't be in a hurry to spend money, you should also remember that the money to be invested must also be estimated, don't go overboard and don't invest all your savings, even though bitcoin investment is very promising but you must remember that investment definitely has risks, prepare your mentality strong before jumping into bitcoin investment.

Note the image is the Bitcoin price chart of the last 10 years.  Here in 10 years the price of Bitcoin has fluctuated from only $65 to $68.7k  And the current price is above $20k.  In 2017, 1 Bitcoin crossed the $20k mark for the first time before falling back down to $3.5k But Bitcoin didn't stay there, then in 2021 it rose in price to $68.7k. So think for yourself that if Bitcoin can go from $65 to $68.7k in 10 years, how much can it go from $20k in the next 10 years? So definitely Bitcoin is best investment for long term.
Think- if you keep your $20k in a bank by FD then bank will give you maximum of 7% APR and if you keep it 10 years then you will get 70% return it will total of $34k amf from here income tax will be cut 10-15% you will get maximum of $32k after government vat. but if you investment $20k in bitcoin then from here you will get million of $ after 10 years If the price of Bitcoin continues to rise naturally as it has seen over the last 10 years.
Don't rush to invest after seeing my post mate. It's just a calculation looking at the charts of the past 10 years.  It is possible that in the next 10 years the price of Bitcoin may fall to $100.  Nothing is impossible in cryptocurrency.  So before investing  think about the risk first and keep it in mind

The definition of investment in general is to seek profit, Bitcoin does not guarantee a profit in the short or long term. Before you enter, you need to see the chart as an initial reference to determine the duration of the investment you will make. The profit target needs to be considered, you can change your plan at any time depending on the position of the movement that occurs in the market.

Long term and short term have their respective risks and certainly have their own potential benefits.
If it's long term you might need to target how long your money is invested which is definitely maybe more than 6 months or even more than one year this target also needs to be made like 4 or 10 years ahead to get a profit, and there are also appropriate adjustment settings when you start in which phase in the market.
Likewise in the short term, you have to be very good at looking for market position opportunities with fluctuations and maybe losses also have the potential to be large.
This all depends on their respective decisions in investing in bitcoin, when your intention is to maximize your income, yes, you definitely choose the short term, but if you invest for old age savings, you have to choose the long term.
I understand that everyone has their own understanding of the long term and short term, therefore it is important to adapt it to the circumstances and conditions of each individual's needs.

It is not possible to invest like this, if you invest in this way you will most likely be losing money because of changes in price; you cannot have crystal balls to know by your analysis that BTC price is going to crash, and if you try speculating this way, you would probably sell your BTC at a loss most of the time, making you repeatedly lose money.

If you want to invest in BTC, you have to decide if you are for long term or a daily trader, once you have decided you can now learn how to invest based on your decision.

Have to keep an eye on daily fluctuations? Meanwhile, you suggest long-term investment?
If investing long term why do you have to watch prices every day isn't it long term just enough to HOLD so you don't need to check the market all the time except daily trading, profit in bitcoin is not quite easy even though it's a shadow just want to get big it still takes a long time for the price increase process then I'm sure from what has been held so far with a 5-10 year term, we can feel it, but if you look at it in terms of a decline every time, for me it's not a long-term investment.
Long term no analysis needed, just buy and hold, those are the simple words.

not all Bitcoin investments made will generate profits. some people must feel the loss caused by several factors.
Bitcoin for long term or short term, I guess it's the same. can be beneficial and can also detrimental. all depends on our ability to make a better investment plan.
if you can make good use of the moment of the pump and dump. Profiting from Bitcoin can also be done in the short term. and conversely, those who invest in Bitcoin for the long term (which is widely recommended) can also be a loss when we don't get a better moment in the planning we make. or we are not consistent with our investment plans.

Investment in bitcoin is not a bad thing but you should know that bitcoin is volatile and therefore you would need to know the market trend very well before going into it. As a bitcoin holder, holding for a short time requires you to trade constantly so as to making profit which means you buy at the particular price love at time interval and sell it when the price goes high. If investing for a long time, then you would have to buy at a particular time when the price is low or at your wish and holding for a long time which is encouraging so as not to be at loss. As long term investor, you would need some patience while holding because the market sometimes is very much  mind shaking and of you do not have a strong self control, you might likely sell so as to not to be on the loosing end. This is what it means holding for a long time.

Bitcoin is a potential investment so you must invest in bitcoin for long term. and you must keep your eyes On daily price fluctuations and if you feel by your own Analysis that bitcoin price can crash any time then that time you can sell your bitcoin and wait for dip. but if you think you will get a huge profit from bitcoin in short time if you invest in bitcoin then that would be your stupidity. You have to buy and sell bitcoins as per your need so long time you have to invest on bitcoins only then you will be able to get a big amount of profit from here.
