It needs time and patience for a long term investments but worth the risk. It's already proven on this years that holding your bitcoin will give you a huge profit. Congratulations for those who hold their bitcoins for a long time, we don't know that this is just the beginning of Bitcoin's Year. It's not too late to buy some bitcoins and hold for a long time and sell it at the right time.
You are right this is bitcoin's year as you could tell by the price it had this. I still think it is worth purchasing bitcoin at this price because my predictions for this year is bitcoin can easilu reach 1500$++ by the end of this year or maybe $2000+ if china government doesn't interfere as they have been doing.
And also the original post you did tell that that you bought at 200$ and you can see the price now so I think you can see the potential of it and selling it just because you in profit is not recommended unless you need it for an emergency.
I thought the issues with China would have caused a bearish run for the long haul, I was quite surprised to see that it picked back up again.
It just goes to show that Bitcoin is much bigger than China or anyone country.
The issue I see right now is the scaling, there's so much BTC caught up in the system and it's taking ever longer for BTC to pass through the network.
A number of times now I've been waiting close to 24 hours and that's with increasing my payout fee.
If they don't fix this soon, that could be the death of BTC. Another crypto could easily come along and take it's place if the community don't agree on implementing something to solve the scaling issue.
I personally believe in BTC with my heart and soul and hold about 2.1 BTC atm in the hope it will double by the end of the year, however the scaling issue is the biggest threat to the value of BTC right now.
