Questions like this has popped out in several occasions and arguments concerning Bitcoin investment. My friends will say you must lose before you gain or rather have more experience investing in Bitcoin. If its how it work, Bitcoin isn't for a low income earner as well as not gonna make you rich when you can't invest something tangible to it. On the other hand people are been made big and wealthy in same program. What does it in tell, cos am quite sure people had already known what's going to happen in the market in the nearest future to give them the strong mindset to invest porously. My biggest fear is losing my hard earn to something as volatile, vulnerable and uncertain as btc. What's the possibility you invest without losing. Is it guaranteed in this kinda market?

It's probably the other way around because the more people are getting greedy that is most likely the better time where you could sell your investment for a possible profit, On the other way around when the market is down is a good opportunity to invest since the market is on slow market price and prices are definitely discounted.

Nothing is going to be guaranteed in this market especially it is cryptocurrency probably one of the riskiest investments that you could make if you are going to compare it to stocks and real estate. The more you know or learn about the market the less likely you're going to lose some of your investment for sure, it is a risky market but there are some ways where you could avoid losing your funds if you have a good strategy, Consider Dollar Cost Averaging as long as you are going to buy monthly or weekly and just sell your Bitcoin in the Bullrun it is going to be a profit. But it is definitely not guaranteed to earn a profit in the market, we dont know if Bitcoin could not exist anymore after 5 years if something comes up.

It's not really necessary that you must lose before gaining in a Bitcoin investment, as long as you have the experience and know what you are really doing,you can not lose investment on Bitcoin, except you are novies and you just want to invest because your friend are investing and making alot of profit and you think it is just to invest in Bitcoin and you start making your profit without no stress, meanwhile you have no knowledge about Bitcoin,i tell you someone of this nature can easily lose if he she invest in Bitcoin without having a good knowledge about Bitcoin,

Bitcoin investors are those who have a very good knowledge about Bitcoin and have study it and knows all the statistics, this are the people who can go into investments and make it without any form of lose,if there was no mistake in any angles, because Bitcoin requires a good and an experience person who have gone through it for long time and know the in and out of the investment in Bitcoin..

All what you just mentioned depends on your thought towards bitcoin investment first cause if you start your investment with this mindset then you might sell so quick due to the fear and also the strategy you intend to use, bitcoin knowledge is broad and you can't learn about bitcoin in just one day. If you're the type that always sells quick and you never intend to buy and hold for long term regardless the price then you're causing more harm to your investment, I think this is the part when people say you lose to win in bitcoin investment. Don't get this statement wrong but it can easily affect any investor that fails to understand about bitcoin. Selling so quick is another factor that can affect investment plan but using the DCA strategy can help in terms of  buying with little amount gradually.

I think every one of us has made the same mistakes in our newbie days when it comes to Bitcoin/cryptocurrency.

Panic-selling, bad trading practices, accidentally sending to the wrong address and so on... I definitely made a few mistakes which cost me a lot of money in my early days but thanks to that, I will never repeat the same failures. I now know that hodling is the best and only way to succeed with Bitcoin.

I tend to look back on those losses as a kind of "fee" for learning Bitcoin.

Invest, but beware your fear might make you do something really dumb.

I don't believe that theory in bitcoin investment but it is possible in gambling or trading. Now in investment all depends on the time of the investment, it you invest when bitcoin price was high, then you have to what till the price again is higher than the time of purchasion. There is no loss in bitcoin investment unless you were in hurry to afraid to lose so you sell them in prematurely but if you are patient enough till the next bull market then you win all. And if you invest when the bitcoin price is low on the bear market then you are in the winning side of the journey and the investment.

But if you are in the trading side of the ecosystem then that is where your friends too is dragging the argument to because in trading it is not guaranteed that you must make profit and if you are inexperienced trader then your loses is guaranteed and you will learned from it before you can picked up to make profit but investment is not like that.

Then in gambling is just like the trading, in which there is no guaranteed to win. Is is 50/50. So it is only in investment that you don't lose but others you lose.

For long term holders I don't think we prioritize making profits from bitcoin right away expecially when the plan is to get up to 10 or 20 bitcoin over a long period of time, at this point dips becomes more favourable to us since we can use this opportunity to get more bitcoin at lower prices. I think k it depends on your approach and what you are doing, if you are trading then there is every tendency that you would make losses before you hone the skill and even as a professional you still make loses as some point. So i think this is not the case for everyone.

This is why you should only invest what you could afford to lose.
You should remember that there would always be a risk in investment, there is no 100% sure win.
There are people who did gain on their first Bitcoin investment and losing is part of the journey, you should just use that experience to grow.

You don’t have to necessary loose before gaining in the bitcoin market. When you trade carefully and follow good signals you’ll be able to achieve more and loose less thereby promoting your skill of investment towards bitcoin
   Investing in Bitcoin is like riding a rollercoaster - it's got its ups and downs. Just like any investment, there are risks involved. Prices can be unpredictable, the value of Bitcoin can be highly volatile, and its price can fluctuate significantly. Factors such as market sentiment, regulatory developments, technological changes, and macroeconomic trends can influence Bitcoin's value. If the price of Bitcoin decreases after you invest, you may experience a loss on your investment. It's essential to be aware of these risks and carefully consider your risk tolerance and investment goals before investing in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.
    It is important to also note that investing in any asset, including bitcoin, carries inherent risks. It is advisable to thoroughly research and understand the risks associated with bitcoin investments before committing any funds. Diversifying investments, setting realistic expectations, and consulting with a financial professional can also help mitigate risks when investing in cryptocurrencies.

Buying bitcoin for long term investment is not risky, the risky behind it is where you save the bitcoin. If you buy in centralized exchange and leave them there, you are risking your money with exchanges that may go bankrupt or get hacked anytime.
Buying altcoin is more riskier than bitcoin. You don’t need any strategy to buy and hold bitcoin I don’t know why you are saying that investing without any strategy is gambling.
Little disagree with your opinion about long term investment in bitcoin is not too risk, actually all investment kinds short or long term always has each risk and depend on our self how to minimize risk with stop loss feature or reinvesting more during price have been dropped. You can memorize with bitcoin price last two years when drastically dropping under $20k as long term investment had get risk their values of assets investment decreasing drastically but get positive side become long term holding our assets can recovery as well possibility and bitcoin success return to to higher price give us much profitable.

I agree with what he said, if you invest without knowledge, without strategy and only rely on luck or other people's advice, you are like gambling. Investing in bitcoin is the same, you will not be able to hold bitcoin long term and safely without basic knowledge or understanding of it. If that's not called gambling then what is it called?
Knowledge is most important factor to be success for investing in bitcoin, although bitcoin promising more excited price years by years we musk understand when the right or best time for investing in bitcoin and how much percent allocated investment every time get moment bitcoin in lower price. Some experience trader they left more than 50% preparing for buying back when bitcoin going dump and they can accumulate another lower price of bitcoin.

I don't think that some people have to experience it in all cases, and there are others who have experienced huge profits in Bitcoin without experiencing losses in their capital. And those who experience it, in my opinion, are the rich people who are business people.

I mean the institutional investors who invested here in bitcoin secretly and are still holding it and still believe in it. But this is just my opinion anyway.

Buying bitcoin for long term investment is not risky,


Any investment or asset has risk, it would be wrong to say that bitcoin is risk-free. Bitcoin has made significant achievements and gained recognition in many countries, but compared to other traditional assets, it is still very young and unstable. Therefore, it can be said that its risk is much higher than the rest, so we should not be subjective in thinking that long-term investment in bitcoin is risk-free.

. You don’t need any strategy to buy and hold bitcoin I don’t know why you are saying that investing without any strategy is gambling.

I agree with what he said, if you invest without knowledge, without strategy and only rely on luck or other people's advice, you are like gambling.

it is obvious that in cryptocurrency investment no one is island of knowledge into cryptocurrency investment because I know quite well that for you to gather more experience in cryptocurrency investment you must at least is experience four times lost so when you experience such that will give you another insight to comprehend the strategic way of investing in Bitcoin and it will make you to be time conscious so that we will not be able to lose in any of your investment so to loss in Bitcoin is one of the Education and the impact bitcoin created to whoever that is investor or to whoever that is coming to invest in Bitcoin and make profit
Experiencing failure in the investments we make will make us more careful and learn well about the investments we make. After we learn about the mistakes we make, we will be better prepared to invest and will gain profits from the investments we make. Once we have satisfactory results from the investment, we will be very confident in our ability to be able to generate profits from the investment.

Every beginner who experiences failure at the beginning of course they have to re-learn the mistakes they made which made them lose in the investment they made because of a lack of knowledge and it is important for them to re-learn and keep trying with the experience they have which will make them successful in investing what they did.

Yes, everything your friend said was true. That's all there is to investing in Bitcoin: you can either lose money quickly or, alternatively, learn more about it before making an investment to get more expertise. Due to the fact that a lot of beginners experience similar things, they can just start purchasing a large number of coins, even though they are certain of coins they purchase it will pump or not. They merely keep buying them without consulting others who have made investments in the past. The risk of Bitcoin is that if you can invest for lengthy periods of time, you can easily  lose your money.

That is why many of the high-ranking members here always given advised that anyone who truly wants to be a great investor should be patient and only invest money they can afford to lose, rather than investing with someone else's money.

It depends how you invest in Bitcoin. If you only buy the coins you have the risk loosing money. There are derivatives strategies on BTC so that you can always make money. It is a zero risk construction.
Their are so many different constructions to make from zero risk till high risk, it depends how you want to invest in it.
Invest in BTC with no underlying strategy is pure gambling.
Buying bitcoin for long term investment is not risky, the risky behind it is where you save the bitcoin. If you buy in centralized exchange and leave them there, you are risking your money with exchanges that may go bankrupt or get hacked anytime.
Buying altcoin is more riskier than bitcoin. You don’t need any strategy to buy and hold bitcoin I don’t know why you are saying that investing without any strategy is gambling.

If you know about bitcoin and have patience to hold it for longer then you can win without doubt but if you don't know and just want to become wealthy with bitcoin then I think even bitcoin will be risky for you as everything has certain rules and strategies which should must be followed in order to get fruitful achievements.

Cryptocurrency is a volatile market so it will not guaranteed success for you but you have to work hard and get knowledge to use different strategies to get profit from it. All those who are expert in crypto market have gained profit from bitcoin and I did not hear about anyone of them who loss money through bitcoin while holding it for longer period of time.

Your friend saying are not at all bad. It cames true in some peoples life. Although there is no guarantee that it will happen to everyone, but I think almost all new investors face it, face losses in the beginning and after gaining experience through those losses, they understand the basic trading strategy. This happened in my own life too.In the beginning my investment journey started with altcoin investment but the experience of that investment was very bad. I am still bearing that loss. Moreover, when the market was in a bullrun, I invested in Bitcoin and I am currently holding that fund for recovery. However, I have understood one thing inside that if you want to invest in Bitcoin, you have to do it for long-term. I am currently following this strategy and making a monthly investment in Bitcoin using the dca method.

Some people lose money when they first start investing in bitcoin because they did not acquire it at the proper time, others buy bitcoin when they notice the price rising and simply invest for a short period of time. Since the price is rising, they will buy it and profit quickly, and then they will lose their funds when the price falls. Some newbies are very fortunate when they invest in bitcoin, and they will simply increase and profit from it. My first investment in bitcoin was most likely profitable because I had someone to guide me through it, and I kept it for 2 to 3 months until the price began to rise and I profitable on it and I believe if i leave for a long term I should have earned huge amount of profit. I don't enjoy selling coins in my portfolio right now because I need to meet my target first. Some of the coins and bitcoin I bought are currently declining in price, but I am confident that the price will soon rise, making the investment lucrative.
When it comes to first time then it wont really be that shocking that there would really be those having those loses on which this is something which is a casual thing that could happen.
Neither you are noob or veteran there's no such thing about inevitable on losing trades, no matter how professional you are or experienced. The main difference in between two is that for those veterans
on which they do really know on what they are doing on which it isnt something that could be done by a noob. This is why on the time that these noobs becomes veterans then they would be the
ones who would really be that tried out to be compared with those newbies again and the cycle continues.

There's no way that you would be able to avoid loses when you are just starting up.Instead on making yourself that get disappointed and frustrated then it would really be just that wise that you should really
be making out decisions for you sustain and move forward instead.
