Topic: Must you lose before you gain in Bitcoin investment? - page 7. (Read 1115 times)

What you say is very true, investing in Bitcoin and other investments certainly has risks and benefits, so it is very important for us to understand investment well if we don't want losses in the investments we make, because if we don't have knowledge about the market which is fluctuating, of course we will panic when we see the price dropping after we buy it and will sell even though we suffer a loss.

When investing in Bitcoin, it is very important to be able to use funds that we will not disturb after investing so that we can survive the investment and it is also very important for us to be able to increase our knowledge about investment so that we can still anticipate possible losses incurred in investing.

It's not true. You don't have to lose anything to "gain" something from bitcoin investment. Your friends shouldn't be giving anyone crypto trading advices since they don't even know what they are saying. You should remember that as long as you aren't selling when at loss, you aren't losing anything. You still hold the same amount of coins that you held before the price went down. If you keep holding, the price will eventually recover and you will be in profit again. Even if you do lose money because you sold, think of it as a "experience/lesson". So you didn't actually lose anything but gained some knowledge. And people say bitcoin isn't for those who can't afford, is because of the volatility of the currency. They might need the money they invested anytime and will have to end up selling at loss during emergency.

I asked the same concern years ago when I lost my 2 BTC to ponzi type of schemes and I realized that in investing money there is always that need to educate oneself...and unless you learned the ins and outs of the business there is always that inclination to lose money. Now, am not saying that all will experience the same thing as there are now people who first learned the basics before diving in and they never allow their emotions especially that appeal to greed to come and envelope their decision making process.

If you don't want to lose, don't invest, it's very simple. Invest with money that you are prepared to lose, because that is the most basic thing people should know before they invest in an asset. Moreover, when you invest in Bitcoin, you must be prepared that the risk that the value of your investment will decrease following Bitcoin prices which tend to be unstable.
But actually, if you are patient, you should be able to avoid these losses by not selling your assets when you lose. Just hold it for the long term until you get a profit.

That's not a thing that should've happened in the first place but because a lot of crypto newbies are falling for traps in the market like buying wrongfully or buying shitcoins, it made it look like the initiation rites to be in crypto is to make a mistake which shouldn't be the thing that should happen if they've come prepared and are careful at what their next step is, the problem is that people get excited so they end up getting careless but if you're the kind that's careful and you learn the mistakes of others because you want to avoid them then you don't have to lose anything.

Your friends probably are just trying to tell you that you will go through a learning process before you understand the Bitcoin market.

But you never have to lose anything if you are investing long term. You may or may not for a time be down on your investment, depending on when you start buying Bitcoin, but as long as you're doing it to build wealth or save long term you won't lose anything.

There is no possibility of investing without risks of losing. When you make an investment you must be aware that you may face losses, therefore only invest money you can afford to lose. Since you are fearful about losing your hard earned money, I have the impression it's money you can't lose, so think carefully if you really want to start a Bitcoin investment. There are many positive expectations for crypto market in the following year, but it just doesn't worth to take part if you are too worried about negative outcomes, because it will affect your health meanwhile. You will tend to get anxious and stressed, accessing Bitcoin charts all day long to check how your investment is performing in real time, while the correct would be to invest and forget it until promising results started appearing in the market.

For me, for any kind of investment, I can say that losing is normal, it's not guaranteed to always have profits.
For me, if you are really careful and you want high success. Then you must be ready, go learn first everything, learn fundamental & technical analysis and everything, then study and analyze the market before you enter, but I will say again, still not guarantee.

No, it is not a requirement to lose money in order to gain from Bitcoin investment. While there are risks involved in any investment, it is possible to make a profit without suffering a loss. This is especially true with Bitcoin, as the price has historically been very volatile. However, it is important to remember that past performance is not indicative of future results, and there is no guarantee that the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise. Ultimately, whether or not you gain from your Bitcoin investment will depend on a variety of factors, including when you buy and sell, the amount of risk you are willing to take, and your overall investment strategy...

To elaborate further, I think it's important to remember that Bitcoin is a highly speculative investment. This means that there is a high degree of risk involved, and the price can go up or down rapidly. As such, it is important to have a clear understanding of your risk tolerance and to set appropriate expectations for your investment. Additionally, it is important to diversify your investments and not put all your eggs in one basket. And finally, I would recommend consulting with a financial advisor before making any major investment decisions. They can help you to create a customized plan that aligns with your individual goals and risk tolerance....

The strategy is simple, buy and hodl bit we don't use it because it's boring. If you use this strategy the possibility of losing reduced to 0% but when you buy and think you can outsmart the market by trading, you're increasing the possibility of losing. Don't get me wrong you can trade and be very profitable but the percentages of those doing this are smaller than those losing so what's then the point of putting yourself out there to the market when you could have just bought and hodl and made profits.

You must not lose before you gain when investing in Bitcoin but just listen to others that have been here before you and do exactly what they say so you don't lose. If you're stubborn and still think you know what's best to do then you'll end up like others that have regretted not investing in Bitcoin or went on to do thing for them to make quick profits by investing in altcoins or tried trading and are in losses.

Making profits from Bitcoin is easy but just because it's not looking attractive, people are thinking it's a waste of time and want to do the exciting things that only takes money away from you instead of making you more money. The nft, altcoins and the rest has taken more money than they're made people to have so they aren't worth it, just buy Bitcoin and hodl.

until whenever you will not make a loss buying bitcoin if you don't sell it below the price you bought it at the beginning, because 1 bitcoin remains 1 bitcoin forever and that will never change, what changes is only the price of bitcoin when compared to fiat.  The price of bitcoin is very fluctuating, that's true, but if you hold onto the bitcoin you have until the price really goes up again then there's nothing you need to worry about, the money you invest won't just disappear, i also suggest that you use the DCA method and buying the eep when you invest in bitcoin, so far these two strategies are the most appropriate and effective for generating profits in bitcoin investment.  believe me bitcoin will not die or become a bubble causing your money to disappear, that will never happen.

Investing in Bitcoin, like any investment, carries risks. While some have made significant gains, it's important to note that the market is volatile and unpredictable. There are no guarantees, and losing is a possibility. It's crucial to only invest what you can afford to lose and to thoroughly research before making decisions. Diversifying your investments can help manage risk, and staying informed about market trends may enhance your understanding. Keep in mind that past performance doesn't guarantee future results.

Bitcoin is a volatile asset. You may invest $20k in Bitcoin, and if the price of Bitcoin drops below your purchased price, your invested capital will reduce, but that doesn't mean that you will lose your money.

Bitcoin being a volatile asset is also enough reason for you to believe that even if the price drops (depending on the market direction), it will definitely surge high again. Apart from the old Bitcoin investors who bought Bitcoin when the price was still below $10k, every other Bitcoin investor who bought around $35k may see Bitcoin drop to $30k, but if they keep holding their Bitcoin without selling at a low price, they have not lost anything. If they hold their Bitcoin until the bull market season, they will definitely make a huge amount of profit.

There's one unofficial rule of bitcoin investment that states: "If you don't sell your bitcoin below the price you bought it, then you have not lost anything."

Definitely, the price of Bitcoin may drop below the price you bought it, but it's just a temporary loss, and you will definitely make a profit when the price starts to surge in the bull market.

Experience helps to make the right decisions, especially when moving in this market. An inexperienced person is almost certain to lose money. Unless they buy Bitcoin and forget, they are bound to make mistakes. Trading is hard, choosing altcoins when investing is hard. It's hard to buy and sell Bitcoin at the right time. You never know tops and bottoms. You certainly don't have to lose money, but when you do, you learn valuable lessons. Many people are going through this, going through the same stages.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes, but be careful how much you invest. Don't invest amounts in any investment instrument that you will be upset about losing. This applies not only to Bitcoin but to all investments.

Well putting money into Bitcoin can be a wild ride because its value goes up and down a lot. Some people make a ton of money, but it's not a sure thing, and you could end up losing. We all have to do our homework, start with money you're okay to lose. The crypto market is pretty unpredictable, and even if you plan well, there's no magic trick to avoid losses.

What your friend is trying to to let you know is that inveating in bitcoin, there is a risk involve. The price can go up and it can go down. It is possible that by the time you buy bitcoin, you can be unlucky with the condition of the market and it will crash down but it can also appreciate in price after sometime if you hold into it and will possibly do 2x or 3x of where you bough the bitcoin, that's what he mean with the lose first before gain later.

no investment has ever been on a constant up. there are always swings up and down
no one can perfectly time "buying the bottom"
so always expect the price to swing

yes the upside over time has a lot more potential than the down side, but dont ever think when you buy you will only see ups after your buy

bitcoin is for all income levels. its just those on low income should not invest more then they can set aside and not need in the short term
only invest amounts you wont miss, that way you wont be eager to sell too soon when the prices have not swung in the right direction

when the price does go down, dont think of it as losing, because you should not even be thinking of selling to cause actual loss. instead when the price drops its more opportunity to buy more(if you can afford to) at a even lower price to get more gains when the price swings in the positive direction

what people need to realise is even pensions and investments that claim to offer 3%-12% yearly yield are not simple investing in one stock. nor a stock on a constant rise. instead they are investing into a fund manager that is constantly buying low selling high and moving funds around to reduce the risks
