1. Investment should be long-term. Bitcoin is always profitable when investment is long-term, buying in lower amount, hodl till when the market rises. This may take time and this can only be achieved by exercising patience.
Yes I agree with you, to be able to gain enormous amount of profits in your Bitcoin investment, someone need to be patient enough and able to hold it for lengthy period of time in to witness one or two bull run.According to the history of Bitcoin, bull run periods always coincide with the halving period, which takes place every four years.
2. Not making attempts to time the market. Timing the market is the biggest mistake any investor should think about, this can result too much desperation to make profit that will make investment end bad. It will make sense to invest and not think to about when to make profit from the market.
As you noted, timing the market may not be a good idea for long-term investors due to dispersion, but I may say it is crucial for short-term traders because it aids in determining when to mark profits, such as when to purchase when prices are low and when to sell when prices are high.
3. Do not give attention or listen to anti-bitcoin. This can mostly have influence in the investment of young investors, listening to people who are against bitcoin can make you feel you are doing the wrong thing.
This is the cause of a large number of new investors giving up on their Bitcoin investments and ultimately selling at a loss.No matter what, you will undoubtedly hear both good and bad news regarding Bitcoin, so turn a deaf ears to the unfavorable ones after you proper research.Be careful whose news you choose to listen to because some people constantly speak negatively about Bitcoin while knowing nothing about it.
