I don't know much about bitcoin, and I also want to invest in bitcoin, but I want to ask whether bitcoin has good potential for the future? and what,, many people who lose investing in bitcoin.?
Bitcoin have a good track records since it creation over a decade ago, and that can be seen and studied from bitcoin chat movements since 2010 when the coin gain tractions. so to this point i can clearly say, Bitcoin have a great potential for the future but then you will also have to make clear what bitcoins future potential you looking out for.
Because we tend to have individuals expectations to some people there will love to see bitcoin reaching some certain hight in the future in areas such as.
1: Bitcoin price in the future.
2: the rate of bitcoin adoption globally.
3: ease of accessibility for newbies and beginners.
4: Bitcoin utility increase via decentralized payment systems
All this are the common bitcoin individual expectations, and all this are build on individual understanding of bitcoin and what it stand for and how long it will take for Bitcoin to realize this potential and the time frame we are ready to wait for that to happen.
and I want to know why people experience losses investing in bitcoin.
You don't lose when you invest in bitcoin, you only lose when you exchange your bitcoin to dollars below your entry dollar value.
So ultimately no one loses in Bitcoin when you hold your bitcoins, its value remains the same if not calculated based on DCA but in bits, so you only lose your investment when you exchange bitcoin below your bought price as an investor.
My advice to you as a newbie 1: Build a good knowledge of bitcoin and how its DCA price movement has acted over the years so that your knowledge will aid you during any crisis in Bitcoin price which will range from different factors that cant be controlled by individuals, factors like the inflation rate in the economy and other events that could cause a short term price behaviour in whatever direction.
2: don't see bitcoin as a get-rich-quick scheme, it doesn't happen that way and those that see Bitcoin as a get-rich-quick scheme always end up in disappointed when bitcoin do not reach its imaginary price.
3: bitcoin shouldn't be taken as a short-term investment, you are ready to invest in bitcoin, then you must be willing to wait for as long as possible that is why bitcoin is for holders and not for weak hands as an asset.
