Today I read about the news of El Salvador bitcoin hodling investment yielding about 40% profit and i had to imagine that 40% in figures in contrast to the amount of dollars El Salvador hold in BTC. But nevertheless, this is not the main issue I wish to focus on in this thread, I just want to divert a little.
Sometimes back when bitcoin price was that low ($16k) a few investors if not many felt discouraged with a flinching desire to sell in fears that the price might keep getting low and addition to the lies and negative rumors from bitcoin haters about bitcoin falling further low even to zero, these lies made many bitcoin holders to hurriedly sell even at a lost.
When #Bitcoin’s market price was low, they wrote literally thousands of articles about our supposed losses.
Now that #Bitcoin’s market price is way up, if we were to sell, we would make a profit of over 40% (just from the market purchases), and our main source of BTC is now our citizenship program.
We won’t sell, or course; at the end 1 BTC = 1 BTC (this was true when the market price was low and it’s true now); but it’s very telling that the authors of those hit pieces, the “analysts”, the “experts”, the “journalists”, are totally silent now
source1source2El Salvador President, Bukele was exempted, critics made a lot of noise in the media with many articles about El Salvador's bitcoin investment heading to a loss but the Salvadoran President didn't deter in his resolute not to sell but resolved to keep holding not listening to all the critics. Today El Salvador is 40% in profit in their bitcoin investment as bitcoin price keeps rising, 40% when the halving has yet occured, and the next ATH not yet hit, how much more when it all does.
I think all bitcoin investors needs to take a leaf and learn from Bukele's firmness and resolve to HODLing even under strong press, criticism from the so-called experts. Today everyone is praising him for for holding firm.
Remember this; bitcoin will always silent the critics, our role is to just hold patiently strong.
