I have seen a lot of posts lately, where people are complaining about the price. I can understand that, but based on my previous experience with Bitcoin, you only need 1 good year to make Bitcoin your most profitable investment of all times.

Let's take 2017 for example. I made more or less 700% profit on the bitcoins I bought in January and sold in December 2017. Now I am not financial expert, but I seldom see any investment opportunity where you get anything more than 30% profit within a year.

So, let's put this into perspective for the people who are constantly complaining about the price. If you were used to low interest rates or even if you were lucky enough to invest in something where you received 30% profit, ONE good year like 2017 will cover the interest and profit you would need for the next 20 years. <700% divided by the max 30%>

On top of this, you still get interest on the fiat money that you deposited into the Bank, after you sold those bitcoins.

Stop complaining and wait for your good year.  Cool

  

That is true. However, you should not be expecting that kind of profits on a regular basis.

There could be no pumps to the magnitude of last year's bull market rallies for years to come, and it's hard to time your investments. It's definitely not always as simple as investing in a good year and getting the profits, because you could have invested at the previous all time high and barely come out with a profit when you sell at the next bull market.

I do believe, however, that bitcoin is in a long term up trend which means that if you buy in a bear market right now and hold for the long run it is almost guaranteed that you'll make a profit. A good investment just needs to outpace inflation, and with the amount of potential new adopters in the coming years, I can see BTC easily outpacing inflation growth.

BTW, putting your money inside a bank as a long term investment just doesn't work at all. I wouldn't recommend that.

Exactly my point too! It is about having the Bitcoin or an altcoin when the bullish run starts, then you make your profit smiling! A lot complain because of impatience and selling off easily and are no where to be found when the market starts appreciating. So, this year's goodness is yet to start and it will take the persistent ones to make the profits as they HODL.

Maybe. In my opinion though it depends sometimes it gets more than just 1 year. Bitcoin investment is something we can say exactly it is all just theories and speculations. You need to be patient with it though because it takes a lot of time, just make sure you monitor the rate of bitcoin because any time soon it can go up or it can go down. Just don't give in to selling it just because the price went down big time. Right now the value of bitcoin is $8k let's see the following years on what will be the outcome of this price drop.

Your analysis is spot on but the problem are not the profits that bitcoin can give, the problem is the mentality of those that bought bitcoin in the first place, they thought bitcoin will go up forever, they also thought that it was impossible for them to lose money and now that both of those things have happened they are unable to deal with the situation and so they complain all the time.

Absolutely yes, I agree with the OP , many are afraid and complain because of the multiple problems that led to a huge fall in the value of Bitcoin and digital currencies in general, but this is something that is common to many people and It is difficult that this issue will disappear from them. Therefore, we must  accept any new situation and  even if it is bad, and must expect everything and deal with any event.

In addition to that, in the era of bitcoin, we must learn that patience is always the key of  unexpected (huge)  profit. But the problem is that the majority of people are impatient and always want a big gain in a short period, they do not always succeed in this field. Moreover, it is true that one good year is  enough for an acceptable profit. but there are always unexpected surprises or events, so it is essential that  you must have a futuristic vision.

Yes, one good year like 2017 can make the Bitcoin a profitable investment. A year like 2017 can definitely give you the profit of next 10 years. But the point is when that year will come or whether it will come or not. This thing is causing suspicion in the minds of investors. But yes, we can do nothing but wait for the prices to rise.

Most people are just too impatient either due to desperate need of funds or they are just raised that way. They wanted to see money pouring in almost every week. This is also the cause of their depression when it did not meet their expectations at the soonest possible time.

There is no guaranty that you will see another one year with the same kind of profit (you made in 2017). If any such assurance was there then by now all big institutions might have purchased all bitcoins and wait for that good year to come.

All those past history is only for reference so don't invest your money based on that history. It may even do better than 2017 in future but when it happens is the question mark? and people are worried about that because many of the people who are asking questions may be new investors who might have bought coins at peak time.
whay a bright point,you made me think then Mate since your certainly perfect when you say that if the trend of 2017 will surely happen,all institutions and investors will buy all the bitcoin now for a huge profit at the end of the year,now im having second thought about my opinions in every matters..

Bitcoin needs to be more stable to attract more players. I need this bitcoin stable this year so that my investments are profitable. My confidence in the bitcoin is huge.

It doesn’t have to be stable for you to profit. It’s still possible for you to profit even if it’s volatile. Also, investors will still come in despite experiencing this volatility. Just last December when the price went up, many ivestors suddenly bought btc just because the price was high, even while the price wasn’t stable back then. Many other factors will allow us to profit and to attract investors other than the stability of the price.

In any case, people who complain all the time about their investments and price of cryptocurrencies here in the forum, feels like that is just their way of letting off some steam. We also can't be sure if a specific year is the best one for us and not all investors/trader keeps track of their loss and gain in cryptocurrencies so we always want to have a better year everytime.

Do at your own risk, we don't need to listen to anyone, we have all minds that can help us to do research and decide on when to buy and when to release it.
perhaps you have your own strategy but this advice is not just for you its for everyone  'cause sharing knowledge is a good idea to help someone who needs some advices especially weak hands investors which is lack of of knowledge,  so if you don't want some advice then stay away from this thread,  regards

December 2017, bitcoin reached it's high peak and that is a good news in anyone who just waited that long. Around 900% increased in price and I doubt if rhis year will repeat the history. You are lucky enough 2017 is your year. I can be positive and I will consider this 2018 as my year, too. Lol Cheesy
You know it is very possible that this year might hit the peak price. Exactly those users who waited patiently and hold bitcoin and sell when it's hitted the ath price were very lucky indeed. Patient actually is a good decisions by that we can acquire of a good gains.

I agree and this has been proven and tested a lot of times. That maybe one of the reasons why some people in this forum usually advice newbies to buy Bitcoin at a low price or when it is dumping and just hold on to it for a good year and for sure you'll gain profits just by holding the coin for a year. It has greater than putting your money in a savings account in the bank.

Everyone really hopes that to happen again thats why most of them still buy and invest on bitcoin. What I see is different if the price will go up again I think government will try to control it in now since, most of the country that accept bitcoin start to impose regulatory on it.

That's why if you want to buy, invest and enter the world of cryptocurrency. Know first the risk. If you can accept the risk then you are welcome in this world.

This is a great fact, the people who complained is the people that late enter the market, or the one that is too greedy and enter at peak price, if they can control themselves and research the market situation I believe the lost won't be too much, and I agree that we only need one great moment to make tons of profit, from July to December 2017, it is very easy to make profit, I think most of the people average profit is more than 100%
We all know this thing that bitcoin has proved itself to be the best investment in the entire world and that there are so many people who made a huge amount of money and are still busy in making more money just because of trusting bitcoin and doing the things in the right way.

You need to spend more time into it as this will help you in understanding the things in better way and that it will make you more learned and experienced person.

For me bitcoin is a long term investmest. Well iF you invest it only a year you will only gain a little profit unless its value will contineu increasing after a day passes by.  Well everybody have different perceptions towards bitcoin, and every have different choices and decisionshow long they will invest in bitcoin.

Honestly I love reading your writings. It is all about your experienced lesson learned. This is a matter of perseverance despite of needs. Consistent to hold in spite of vital needs that somehow struck the ways of bitcoin holders. I see that it is all about the virtue of patient. While I'm waiting I wait on you bitcoin increase for profit. I think this is what btc holders should do specially those new holders of bitcoin and maybe altcoins too for bitcoin will rise then majority of altcoins will follow.

I have seen a lot of posts lately, where people are complaining about the price. I can understand that, but based on my previous experience with Bitcoin, you only need 1 good year to make Bitcoin your most profitable investment of all times.

Some people know this, the big problem here is that a lot of people bought it in December when the price was over $17000 and today they are with losses, but they have the option to hold until the price will recover and this they do not think , the desperation to see the price fall and fall to $6000 causes many people to sell because this people believe that the price is falling to 0$.

this is makes sense that the value of bitcoin has been increase year by year and i think OP said is true that with 1 year hold you will get good profit rather than trade it but unfortunately some of people does not have much patience to hold for 1 year or more even people are more likely to sold their bitcoin if the price suddently increase because they thought don't have to wait for long time

The problem is when you buy at ATH
