In traditional investments, long term is most often considered to be a minimum of 5 years. But bitcoin seems to live its life in hyper drive, hence the question to the bitcoin world, what is long term to the average bitcoin investor?

In my opinion and case 1 year is what long terms to me,the price of bitcoin is changing fast in just a span of one year although holding it for a long period of time is very profitable because all this years the price is upwards..

Of course, for many other investment instruments 5 years seem a reasonable long term, but in everything related to technology five years is actually an eternity. I think one year is really a long time talking about bitcoin speculation.

Long term investing in cryptocurrency is at least two years for me. I rather do short term. Bitcoin volatility is good for short term investment.

Well most of us are long term holders right? The believers will hold for at least 3/4 years but to me 1 year seems good to re-analyse and even redistribute my ssets.

I think now there is no any down fall to the bitcoin, so we can consider the same long term for bitcoin also which we use for other things, and because of halving in this year I will say we can keep our money to more than 5 years in bitcoin without any fear.

For me 3 months is enough i can't stay to much long holding bought bitcoin i just use it for trading purposes to increase the amount of bitcoin so that i can make more profit once the price of bitcoin are increased..

That's not even considered long term. In fact, that's actually considered short-term.
But everyone has it's preferences and just like you said, that much amount of time is used for trading purposes and actually, most traders use even shorter time like weeks, days, hours even.

in my view long term investment average is 1 year more but in every investment we should not look on a single viewpoint but rather look at the situation when the price has gone up a lot in less than 1 year, then you have to sell these investments to get a profit.

The people who invest for long term in bitcoins can get a lot of profit as the price always increase from time to time.

Long term to me means to hold at least for 5 years!
2 years I see more as a mid term investment.
And everything under 1 year is short term orientated imo.

All I know is that I know nothing.

i think a couple of years is a good period for keeping bitcoin and considering it as a long term investment.

this couple of years can start with one or two years and keep on going to the longer time like 5 or 6 years. when things have changed for bitcoin and it is more adopted in the world so it has a higher price

HODLing is an art, not just a word...

i vote for 5 years or more.
because i am holding bitcoin until the future when bitcoin is popular. and i am not only waiting for temporary rises for a quick profit.
i am waiting for the day to come so that i can see the real benefit of using bitcoin everywhere in the world.

For me, long term buying is probably looking into the very long term future. If I was buying for long term, then I would be buying for when bitcoin becomes a global currency. And that's probably minimum half a decade.

But it seems like you're just promoting your site here.

Long term for me is probably close to 5-10 years. However, I wouldn't suggest holding BTC for this long, considering the volatility in price throughout the history of bitcoin. The maximum that I would probably hold is 2 years and then sell.

If you are using the word long term, so its mean invest your bitcoin for 5 year, or may be more. otherwise less than 5 years investment so it is not long term way.
Secondly, investment need some time, than it would give you good profit, and the big investors always doing it. I am also doing investment, and now i m getting profit, but when i was starting it, it was difficult for me, passing the time we can manege it.

Long term means 5 years or more as per the traditional investment. That is why government gives you a benefit of "long term capital gain" if you hold any investment for more than 5 years.

However, bitcoin investment is not a conventional investment and you should consider more than 5 years if you are investing in bitcoin. Remember one thing, that bitcoin will not be available after 2023. So invest wisely and hold it till your retirement if you want to make your dream come true. That is what I am planning too.
