Topic: Would you invest in Bitcoin if it only rose 10% per year from now on? - page 3. (Read 403 times)

Your analysis is hypothetically true. But the reason why most people invest in Bitcoin is not because of its annual performance rather its more about its performance in a complete cycle or a decade. So we see Bitcoin increase with a mean percentage of 12% each year. Then in five years, it's 48% which is a good profit to an investor.

This means that investors who understand the importance of long-term benefits will continue to invest in Bitcoin. Because it will be more about the value of your accumulation.

I'm not sure for certain if I can maintain investing in bitcoin if such is already guaranteed for the main time. The answer will be yes because bitcoin is one of the digital assets I can entrust my wealth with, and I don't have to be thinking about the fear of crash or inflation. Second,  it's better to secure that 10-20% annual interest than to hold my savings in my local currency, which devalues every single day. At least I can be rest assured of profit from two angels. 
 
But as time goes on, it continues, and I can't be too certain if my investment decision will still be with bitcoin or not. Like it or not, one of the major reasons why most of us invest and hold bitcoin is because of the expected profit margin, irrespective of how long it will take to give us that.

If the average annual increase is 10% for bitcoin, then it is certainly still an asset that provides good returns compared to bank deposits. If bitcoin is still supported by sound fundamentals and its real use cases are increasing, then 10% is still worth considering instead of burning it on altcoins.

On the other hand, I might cut my investment budget if this pattern is confirmed. I will diversify into several assets that also provide the same return percentage, or it could be lower with low risk too. But anyway, I hope that such a pattern will not really happen to bitcoin.

There are many reasons I would invest in bitcoin but for the poll I solidly stand with "if only the fundamentals are solid". If I could invest in bitcoin and it gives me a 10% return per annual is far better than having my money in fiat for a year.

For the 10%+ in 2-3 years I would only invest if there are no other better investment that can give higher than bitcoin could give but if comfort has a role to play in this then bitcoin would be my only option.

Bitcoin price is currently again increasing a bit, but if we look into the longer term charts, we're still caught in a sideways market since March.

What if this becomes the "new normal"? Let's say Bitcoin rises, from now on, only about 10 % per year. Perhaps 8 or 13%, but not 25% or more.

The ATH in March already could have been a "prophetic event" in this case. We could see ATHs each year, but they would be only a few percentage points higher than the previous' year's ATHs.

This is purely hypothetic: I would like to know if the Bitcointalk members would still invest in Bitcoin in this case if this pattern is confirmed. Later I'll post my reasons for this poll and my own decision.

It is highly encouraged to post your reasons for your decision, for example if they are related to fears that people could be selling because of an underwhelming price evolution. But for clarity, let's assume the 10%+ pattern really holds for 2-3 years. Would you, in this case, still invest?


Edit: Just to compare: currently the average Bitcoin returns per year, if we "level out" bullish bubbles and bearish dips and take the years since 2019 (average price around $8000), are around 50%.

Clarification (added 31/10): The question does not refer necessarily to a guaranteed 10% APY, but a relatively stable pattern of several years with price increase rates e.g. between 5 and 15% and occasional dips.
