I think Holding Bitcoin for a long time is not risky, but there might be less profit if i don't do trade.. So, to make a good profit from BTC we must do the short-term trade as well.

What do you think?

It depends on how you deal bitcoin. If you trade btc make sure you have even a little profit and let it earn until such time to make it bigger. I think trading is not one day huge profit but it is all about little by little movement.

You are right because bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrencies it is save to be held for long term investment but actually it is not fast way to increase my healthy in bitcoin, the best way to increase my healthy is in ICOs projects in my personal opinions than investment in bitcoin for long term investment.

Kalau di dalam pikiran saya kalau anda mempunyai bitcoin alangkah lebih baik di simpan untuk jangka panjang suatu saat harga sudah 2 atau 3 kali lipat baru di jual
Kalau urusan jual beli ya tidak apa apa tapi bagusnya yang sudah jadi bitcoin biar bitcoin kalau mau jual beli lebih baik pakai modal yang baru lagi

It depende on the situation, if the price is very low then you should hold it until the price will rise. Long term holding isn't risky. You just have to check the price from time to time to make good decisions.

I'd say it's the least risky of all cryptocurrencies honestly.   Bitcoin will be around for at least another 5 years, and many big players have a significant portion of money in Bitcoin.  For it to drop significantly all of them would have to decide simultaneously that they want to have less money for some reason.  It seems extremely unlikely that it doesn't grow in the long run.

Bitcoin is very risky for long-term retention if it reaches high price values. Then, due to the high volatility of bitcoin and the incoming negative information, it is very likely that the onset of panic and bitcoin can quickly become practically devalued.
The retention of bitcoin is best combined with periodic trade, with a clear increase and decrease in its rate. This will bring a good extra profit.

you're absolutely right, hold the coin in a matter of years are also at risk. hold the coin within 2-3 of the month will be more likely to bring in profit. then I usually do this and sell coin me when the price rises and favorable.

It is depends to everyone's desires on how we deal hold and sell system. Of course we practice whatsoever that makes us effective. It is much better to have more profit and less lose. Do the necessary and avoid the unnecessary if possible.

I think if you consider investing in Cryptos for long-term then Bitcoin should be your first option. Long-term investments usually do not depend on the current state of the market but rather its future. So before you invest for long-term you must seek to find the prospects of the project or portfolio. So Bitcoin will be the perfect choice.

I think it's not risky as what we know that long-term holding is the best strategy in crypto investment. You just need to set your goals on what price you must sell your bitcoin and don't be greedy. Remember it takes many years to push the price of bitcoin to reached $20k and it takes few months to go down to $5k. Be clever on your decision if you want to be profitable in this technology.

No, I don't think a longterm hold of bitcoin is risky. In fact, it is preferable to HODL bitcoin for years or more to gain huge profits in the future. As we all know that prices of crypto in the market are increasing every year. So there's a great chance that btc price will be doubled or even trippled.

Holding bitcoins for a longer period of time is not risky, the currency won’t vanish if you don’t do any investments with it, except that you wouldn’t get any profits from it. It would be very profitable if you decide to trade or use it for a long term investments. That’s what I think.

It depends on the coin that you are holding if there is a potential like bitcoin before and now became popular but you have to aware it because sometimes coins can turn into a shitcoins,if you hold you to be follow the next step of the project of your coin and observe if is used for important things that would make you rich someday but you take a risk every decission we made.

Well it is not risky, maybe it will more profitable to hold. But i think it depends upon our decision, because all things in crypto may change in a verry short period of time, so then patience is really required on it. if we don't have patience we can maybe loss on crypto die to its unstable price that may lead people to do panic selling.

Long term and short term hold for bitcoin is always depend the situation in the market. Like few moths ago where we sew bitcoin is changing the price from $6k to $7k and from $7k to $6k and from $6k down to $5,8k until it hits the latest price $8,2k. If you did a short term hold here and then buy back into am pretty sure you did a great gain.

What is the best way to securely store Bitcoin for the long term?
There are many tradeoffs.

There is a tradeoff between danger of theft and danger of losing your coins, and a range of options depending on technical proficiency. There is a tradeoff between security and effort, as well as expense.

Serious enterprises like Coinbase and Gemini use very intricate schemes requiring special hardware, air gaps, and a lot of knowledgeable collaborators. Their coins have to be secure even when the incentive to rob them is in the hundreds of millions. Unless you are a crypto whale, the incentive to steal your coins is probably less, and therefore your security measures can be less extreme.

To understand the basic principles in play you have to know the following (which you probably already know). Bitcoin is based in part on public key cryptography. (You might want to review this if  is unfamiliar to you). Each bitcoin wallet has a private (secret) key. Associated with that private key is a public key, and a bitcoin address is essentially a hash of the public key. Anyone can pay to your public key hash, and no one can derive your private key from your public key hash.

The essence of protecting your bitcoins is to keep your private key private. Hardware devices do a good job of this (assuming the manufacturers can be trusted) by keeping the private key on the device. For instance if you buy a Ledger Nano S (which I personally recommend) the private key never comes off of the hardware — no one ever needs to see it. However the key will be encoded as a collection of 24 words, and it is your responsibility to keep these private, by using a fireproof safe for example. To my mind this is the optimal compromise for non-whales.

Another option is to use a paper wallet. Paying money to a piece of paper is a pretty weird concept, but it can be done in bitcoin. There are various services which do this for you, but of course you are implicitly trusting the services with your money. Here is one method for producing a secure paper wallet:

Make a disk image with Debian Linux and the bitcoind software installed.
Get a cheap dedicated computer and load it with the disk image. This computer should never be connected to the internet. If you are very paranoid, you could take out the networking hardware.
Use the bitcoind software to generate a private key and an associated public key hash (viz. bitcoin address). Instructions for how to do this can be found in the book Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos.
Write your private key on a piece of paper, and the bitcoin address on another piece of paper.
Secure the paper with the private key (in a safe, for example).
Pay money to the bitcoin address.
With a little more effort (but more complexity and risk of losing your money) you could split the private key into two or more parts and store them separately, for instance in independent safe deposit boxes.

Another option is to write the private key to a file on your airgapped computer, encrypt that file (the resulting ciphertext will be very short) and copy the resulting hex by hand into a file on a non-air-gapped computer, where you can safely store it in the cloud. Of course you will have to remember the password you used for the encryption, and your security will only be as strong as the password you choose.

You can choose Hardware wallet or Paper Wallet (Read The full Article)

Hot Wallets (i.e Online Wallets like , UnoCoin (India), or Exchange wallet : Like : , ) or are never completely secure. Your password can be misplaced , their server can be hacked , your security can be compromised anytime - anywhere.

Your computer is hacked and web wallet password is stolen
Web wallet server gets hacked and bitcoins are stolen

Web wallet provider points to Term of Service violation and takes coins

Your computer or cell phone is stolen while you are logged in and thieves then steal your coins
HARDWARE WALLET

If you want to store your completely secure then go for Hardware Wallets. They are hack proof. My First best is  ( I and My Family member using). and The Second one is  (I am using) .

 is only available for 58$and they ship to all over the world.


PAPER WALLET

You can Make gat a paper wallet for free by going .

WHY I PREFER HARDWARE WALLET OVER PAPER WALLET

You can’t send a partial bitcoin to other account, You have to send it all
A situation like hard fork it better to go with / as they support the double coins but you can’t do the same with Paper Wallet.
You can’t store Multiple crypto coins in  but The same can be done on  and  Hardware Wallet

Basically, yes.

 that are properly generated offline and securely stored are immune to hacking/malware/etc. The idea is you never enter the private key into a networked computer until you're ready to spend the Bitcoin, and even then you can sign the transaction on the offline computer and transfer it to an online computer for transmission using software like Armory. The only way they could be compromised is by physically stealing the printed private key, or perhaps a weakness in the cryptography.

How paranoid are you?

If you're not very paranoid, you could use a web based generator like  to generate a paper wallet. Ideally you should audit the JavaScript source code, use your browser's private browsing mode, and disconnect from the internet while generating and printing paper wallets.

If you're somewhat paranoid, you should boot a machine using a Linux live CD, generate the paper wallet, print it, and shutdown the machine, all while completely disconnected from the internet. See:

If you're very paranoid you'd use an N-of-M scheme to generate M keys, any N of which could be used to recover the actual private key (e.x. 2-of-3, or 3-of-5), and you'd distribute the keys to M different safety deposit boxes

If you're extremely paranoid you'd destroy the computer and printer after generating your paper wallets. Or just compute your paper wallets by some rolling dice and performing the math by hand :)

The best way would be:

1. Boot your computer up with Ubuntu Live CD

2. Create a wallet, encrypt it using a strong password (). Make sure you do not forget the password.

3. Back up the wallet multiple times (e.g. email+Dropbox).

4. Practice its decryption using

5. Finally, transfer the bitcoins to the wallet.

If your password is strong enough, nobody should be able to brute force it ... so online storage is good enough. Be aware that the standard Bitcoin encryption only encrypts private key - if you want to protect against anyone viewing your bitcoin addresses, you should use something like  instead - make sure to choose a high amount of encryption rounds.

There are lots of ways to secure your Bitcoin. The suggestions already provided aren't necessarily bad, but they exclude a lot of other options. For instance, they don't take into account your use cases. Are you planning on using the Bitcoin any time soon or are you simply looking to lock it away and hold it for future use? Are you looking for absolutely secure or are you looking for a balance of hassle and security?
The most secure way to store your Bitcoin is to produce paper wallets from a copy of a website using a browser on an offline computer booted from a secure OS on a CD printing to a wired printer with no internal memory. I describe this process in my tutorial .
However, that only works for long term. If you're looking for security, but usable storage, I recommend installing Mycelium wallet on your phone. You can then get a hardware wallet like a Ledger or Trezor that will very securely store your Bitcoin while still being usable. I'm personally a bigger fan of the Ledger series. I use Mycelium for regular pocket money. I use a Ledger Unplugged connected to Mycelium for larger amounts of money I want accessible on the go. I also use a Ledger HW.1 connected to Mycelium for even larger amounts stored long term. The last one I have stored in a safe and only take it out when I need it.

The risk of holding is always depend on tour patience if you have a will or maybe a great patience to wait then crypto is not risky at all. Risk may occur on the feild if we are doing such unesesary moves like panic selling which can lead us to loss an amount of capital. It can only be avoided if we have a big patience.

Exactly! The future is what matter for the long term. Some team of an ICO encourage the investors to hold their coin/token for long term by giving a reward because the more members holding it the more will the project attract new investors and will confidence to trust.

The bitcoin will become quite risky if it continues to rise in its price. Given its considerable price, investors will worry about their significant investments, which can lead to panic because of high volatility of bitcoin and negative information at the same time.
As for its long retention, it is certainly better to use its sharp ups and downs for trading. This will greatly increase the profit from it than its usual retention.

To me is not that risky though. Mostly when you started holding from a low price rate. And it's still good to trade to earn some profit only when you've gathered good knowledge about trading because if you haven't and you trading that's  also risky because you may end up losing all your funds.

Holding on to Bitcoin investing is wise and short-term holding is foolish. Most smart people avoid short-term trading and instead buy bitcoins for long-term investing. That's why everyone invests long term only hoping for high returns, short term investments never give high returns but are prone to risk.

If you can trade, and make a profit out of it, then that's an advantage. But it's a high-risk, high-reward situation. HODling on the other hand is safe to a degree that it doesn't stress you that much. But failing to secure your wallet is a high risk in this matter. If you can safely store your BTC then in the long run you can actually make a decent amount of profit. So invest what you can afford to lose and then you can take high risks.
Just to be on the safe side, it is better to just HODL.

What do you think?

I think this is a ridiculous assertion about Bitcoin, Bitcoin isn't like every other tokens, the actual benefit of Bitcoin comes when you HODL for a long time and refuse to sell. If you wanna trade short term then I'll advice you try Altcoins and not Bitcoin. Bitcoin isn't as volatile as other Altcoins, Bitcoin prices doesn't change easily like other coins, the price of Bitcoin is influenced by certain factors which makes it difficult to be traded on short term.

Or we can call it that bitcoin trading is not for everyone, because it's a high risk, high reward. So if you are really a newbie, it's hard to start and we hear horror story of newbies losing big money on trading and then calling bitcoin a scam because of their bad experience. So for those who are making money out of trading though, good for them, but I think it's not that easy and maybe it take them years to do that and became a expert. But for us who doesn't want to complicate things then just be a investor. Buy as much as you can, do DCA, learn how to protect your Bitcoin and be a long term HOLDer and sell if necessary specially in the next bull run.

You've literally said it all. However, from the perspective where the buyer has multiple other sources of income and lacks time for trading activities, buying to hold shouldn't be a bad idea. Moreover, the price of Bitcoin started from a very low point to its current value.

Also, if the investor/holder does not have the experience or knowledge in trading, the best thing to do is to do long-term holding. While the investor has a stable job and earns money for his daily needs, he still has an investment in Bitcoin that can be profitable in the long run.

Bitcoin is a long-term investment. When you look at the ROI, you can easily say it is the safest way to get huge profits. look at the price gain we have seen in the past 10 years. Trading is risky, and you might lose money because of the price volatility. If you are looking to trade BTC, proceed with caution.

Although there is also a big risk if you trade, we have heard stories of traders losing big amount of money, and I think it's very hard to really profit from trading unless you have experienced on it.

As compare to your Bitcoin sitting in your wallet, and as long as you know how to protect it and practice safety, it might grow overtime without you doing anything. Others think it's passive income, accumulating over time and then selling it during all time high. So it's not that too complicated as compare to trading everyday. But everyone is different, so I have nothing against those traders.

I think trading Bitcoin includes a significant risk and might result in losses for novice traders, it can also produce bigger short term returns. But Long-term Bitcoin ownership is less volatile and, with careful management, can increase slowly over time. For this reason some people view it as a passive source of income. All strategies have advantage though so it's important to make a decision depending on your personal trading experience and risk tolerance.

being a bitcoin holder for a long time is not detrimental at all, there are many people who have great success because they hold bitcoin for a long time, for a trader holding bitcoin for a long time will not be profitable at all, they need to make money quickly so that's the sentence you are not wrong about being a short term in bitcoin at all, it's just that different people have different perceptions and in my opinion being a bitcoin holder in the long term is also more profitable than short term.

There is nothing risky about holding Bitcoin for a longer time. This is more of personal opinion and we can make more money when we hold Bitcoin for a longer time. Maybe you can take a look at many people that had been holding since the price was $8k and check now that the price is $40k plus.

This is one of the benefits of holding Bitcoin for a long time. Only the rich can leave there Bitcoin for many years without going to check it or become curious to sell them. They are true holders and they do make crazy profits from the market.

When a person invests in bitcoins he must follow the positive aspects for which he invests. Never invest in Bitcoin if you focus on the negative aspects. Anyway investing in Bitcoin is never risky but it will help you grow your money and you can become rich by investing in Bitcoin. When you hold bitcoin investment you can expect a good plan in your future and you will be successful easily. But when you start trading you will face various types of losses and volatility in the market. That's why you should invest and hold Bitcoin and keep it for long term it will always show you success.

Holding Bitcoin for a long period of time is not risky at all but it is time consuming but long term holding has the potential to earn huge profits. But for those who do day traders or short term trading, long term holding may not bring much profit. However, for those who invest and plan long-term holding, there is no possibility of any risk even if they do long-term holding. However, long-term holding by investing in all altcoins other than Bitcoin is very risky in this case. If some altcoins are delisted from the market, there is no opportunity to exchange that coin later, so it becomes worthless. But Bitcoin is a long-term investment worthy coin where holding for a few years after investment will not change its acceptability but also has high profit potential.

Investing in Bitcoin requires you to have patience first. If you can't be patient, investing is not for you. Investing in Bitcoin and holding it for a long time can yield huge profits. Trading in Bitcoin is risky, not everyone can profit from trading. But investing is suitable for everyone, if one can invest in bitcoin now and hold for 1-2 years then he can earn a lot of profit. Actually Bitcoin is a digital crypto currency, the market can be a little volatile, so at any moment the mind has to hold tight. Long-term holders never suffer a loss but make a profit.

The three different categories have their advantages and aswell as disadvantages. But anyone who has knowledge of the chart can make big profits from being a short term investor.

Holding BTC Long Term Is Not Risky But It Will Give Good Returns
Sure, Bitcoin will always increase its value gradually. Although the price probably dropped in the bearish season, it will skyrocket again in the bullrun season. So, it is quite safe to invest in Bitcoin for a long time. However, we must understand the price cycle and we also need to update our information about Bitcoin regularly. This will optimize the chance to get better profits if we entry and exit in the right time.

Investing in Bitcoin requires you to have patience first. If you can't be patient, investing is not for you. Investing in Bitcoin and holding it for a long time can yield huge profits.
Sure, we must be patient if we want to invest in Bitcoin. For people who can't be patient, it is better to choose trading over investing in Bitcoin. Moreover, it is a long term holding, it requires a big patient because there will be many issues related to our Bitcoin investment. So, we must have strong characteristics in Bitcoin investment.

In these categories. The first two are those which can face loss because they are traders or short term investors. The short term traders are at low risk.

Bitcoin is considered the most reliable cryptocurrency in the world due to its decade-long history. It is the only coin that has consistently provided the highest return on investment (ROI). Accumulating Bitcoin can increase profitability, and it is a relatively low-risk investment option. Unlike other cryptocurrencies that come and go, Bitcoin has a proven track record, making it a trustworthy investment choice for any investor.

Holding Bitcoin for a longer period of time may increase your chances of profit. Because the price of Bitcoin is likely to increase. And it is not possible to get a proper idea about it. However, if you have a source of income and then invest your extra money or earnings in Bitcoin, you are more likely to profit from it in the future. And if you invest all your money in Bitcoin and you have no source of income then it can be a loss for you.

In as much as I will agree with you that the last option is the best and maybe the safest, we should also understand that it has its own disadvantages. The last method is best for someone who will not be needing the investment capital and profit in 2yrs time. Having the investment goal of 4 to 5 years is what is needed for the last category and it is not everyone that has that patience or is buoyant to sustain out of investment for that period of years.

This is the reason it is advised that we should invest with the amount of money we can lose or forget. Bitcoin investment is not good for someone who wants it to pay house rent in the next month.

For me it's still long-term for bitcoin rather than short-term, I know it's up to them about the profit target they want but again I myself choose a long-term target because it has more potential for higher gains than short-term.

Then there is why mention from 2021? How about an investor who bought in 2022 at the lowest price of $16K? That now has an ROI of more than 150% if sold now but many of them would rather hold on than sell midway.

If someone bought at $50K it is better to HODL than to lose, because soon it will be Halving and they can enjoy the profits when bitcoin rises again.

@Op It is never dangerous to hold Bitcoin long term, if you invest in Bitcoin for a long time then you will definitely see. Bitcoin price increase in 2024 where there is Bitcoin Halving.  So this bitcoin halving cycle happens every four years so the price of bitcoin increases massively during this halving. I think if you are holding bitcoin long term for four to five years then you will definitely get huge benefits depending on the price of bitcoin.

You have a point in what you said, and it's actually true. But it is better that, apart from holding Bitcoin, we also do trading activity so that we can get profit from it. Of course, with each passing day, we make a profit. For everything to be balanced.

Trading and investing are two different things. If you invest in Bitcoin you must hold it for a long time and not trade there. Because you will only regret when you buy low and sell a little higher and then see the price go up even more. On the other hand, if you follow the DCA method of investing, you can make a lot of profit in Bitcoin halves. The target should be fixed either not trading or buying and holding Bitcoin for a long time.

Long-term holding of Bitcoin comes with additional risks, such as the potential for scams or hacking. These issues are common in the Bitcoin community, with instances of hacks worth millions of dollars often making headlines. These incidents can be caused by malicious websites or bugs circulating on the internet. To minimize the risk of losing your Bitcoin holdings, it's advisable to store them offline using hardware wallets or airgapped devices.

Hacking and scams are common in cryptocurrency, and the risks are high, but the biggest reason not to hold Bitcoin for long time is that we often miss out on the opportunity to make a nice profit in Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency market is volatile, so often times we make a good profit, but we also often end up at a loss trying to make more profit.

Therefore, instead of holding for a long time, one should sell when a good profit is made and wait for a lower price to buy again. If one has good capital, he can earn good returns even in short term investments. For short term you can trust any good exchange where you can keep your bitcoins for trade. Risks are everywhere whether it is cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin or any business. So we should invest or trade keeping all the risks in mind.

It depende on the situation, if the price is very low then you should hold it until the price will rise. Long term holding isn't risky. You just have to check the price from time to time to make good decisions.
I believe in your opinion, it is better to keep it long term when the price is less. It will be risky only when the price is high and you want to keep It long term. That will make some holders of Bitcoin say it is risky for keeping long term investment.

This is sufficient proof for us if we buy Bitcoin for the long term and there is no need to doubt that Bitcoin has many communities and the number 1 coin on Coinmarketcap.
Maybe now, we have to prepare a lot of money to buy Bitcoin because just one Bitcoin costs more than 40,000 USD.

In my opinion, bitcoin investment is good for the long term and can also be short term, because the bitcoin market movement is very fast and also bitcoin is the mother of all coins.
let's look at the history of bitcoin from the beginning when the market price was so cheap until now bitcoin is starting to get hot, the price is so big and once reached $50,000

This is not risky you hold your BTC for the long term because if you hold your BTC for the long term it will be good for you and you can make good money through this because day by day the BTC price goes high, and the investors limit is increased and the peoples will start to invest in this market day by day.

From an investment perspective, yes because you notice that the history of Bitcoin is that its price keeps increasing, so it has a higher probability of gaining profit, but if we talk about security measures it has a risk over time because others may hold it in an exchange or local wallet where you do not own the private key, and also because hackers and scammers are evolving so as time goes by you need to learn more about safeguarding it as well.

It depends on how you deal bitcoin. If you trade btc make sure you have even a little profit and let it earn until such time to make it bigger. I think trading is not one day huge profit but it is all about little by little movement.
Short term trade is more risker than holding Bitcoin, especially, if you don't know how the market works! Most people that trade with the coins they hold always end up losing because of risk in trading. If you are trading your Bitcoin and having more win than losing that is great but those I know that has really made money from crypto market are long term holders that also sell at the right time.

You're right, short is more risky.
But If we have good knowledge and skill to do daily trading , I think we can do.
But If we don't have more time to monitor the market,   I think  hold for long term investment is the best way to do.
Many successful investors  hold bitcoin for long term.
If you hold or have bitcoin at 2009 and hold untill now..
I think You will be the rich man.

Digital assets definitely have their pluses and minuses because I see that all investments in this world also have pluses and minuses.
For example, investing in buildings, toll roads, hotels, tourism, etc. definitely has its pluses and minuses and I don't know much about it other than that.
Bitcoin in the long term can be dangerous because Bitcoin has a Private Key which can be stolen at any time by anyone or due to careless mistakes we can lose Bitcoin.
In the long term, Bitcoin investment may see the price continue to rise and be unstoppable, but if we are not careful, Bitcoin will simply disappear and be stolen by irresponsible people.

Obviously, holding Bitcoin on the long term is not a risk at all, just imagine investors that are holding Bitcoin for the past 10years; as we know, every investors, Holders, traders doing crypto business has their individual's plans and strategies for either on investments, or Holding or trading. There are individual's that are holding to hit certain price targets and these individuals will be patient enough untill their planned targets are accomplished. Some individuals that bought Bitcoin at $30k for instance, may planned to sell at $100k, so are others with various planned targets

Actually there is one risk of holding bitcoin for a long term - you can forget, lose wallets password, or it can be stolen, or something might happen with hardware during long period. There is nothing infinite in the world. Today you are a holder, tomorrow your head hits a brick and you dont remember anything. A person might move bitcoin from one wallet to other for some reason (wallet change, software update, anything). Quite a simple procedure, moving from own wallet to own wallet, but there is always a tiny chance that something might go wrong.

Sometimes doing trading reduces the total volume of bitcoin you are holding because when you trading bitcoin you don't hold exact the volume of bitcoin in your custody, holding for long shows more profitability and when holding bitcoin it's better you go for long term investment than short terms. With long term investment you are sure of some certain profits maybe whenever you experience at least 2 to 3 halving then you are sure of more profits because since the total numbers of bitcoin is being reduced from its circulating supply.

It all depends on how we see bitcoin and the purpose why we bought our bitcoin. Some people thinks that trading is the best way to make profit from bitcoin and such people will end up losing their bitcoin because trading is very risky. On the other hand,if you decide to invest in a long term investment, it is very easy to hodli because it is easy and less risky compared to trading. Keeping your wallet safe from hackers and malware,and also don't allow anyone access to your seed phrase or private keys. This is only what you need to do when you are a long term holder. Why is it like that,due to bitcoin volatile nature, the price pumps and dump and this can make you run at loss when you sell at the wrong time.

The answer is simple: NO. It's not risky.

Just buy Bitcoin, accumulate and hold the coins, don't trade. I understand that not everyone can buy $1000 or more worth of Bitcoin. But everyone can buy a little bit - $10, $20, or $50.

Bitcoin is digital gold, hold. Pass BTC on to your children, grandchildren. In 10-20 years, Bitcoin will be worth a lot.

Wow, almost 7 years old thread, because now altcoinstlak is getting more and more popular, the old thread is back to life. ;D

Yes, Bitcoin will not lose if it is just HODLed, in fact it would be better if kept for more than a decade.
If the purchase is from what you suggest then it is DCA, I do it myself, this is the best way to accumulate bitcoins and keep investing until you are able to do it.

It's true that bitcoin is like gold, where the supply gets smaller, the price will certainly rise.

Hodl is good for me, I'm not worried about things, I'm just taking a slow approach to things, I don't worry because the bitcoin movements are safe, they are what I should do, when I think about bitcoin and hodl I see it as the safest investment in the world, because I know that my money is somehow being built for more in the future, because right now it is Difficult to resist the expenses that are obligatory, but somehow you have to save the money now touch the ivnerion of Bitcoin, because there is the secret, we can't do anything else, those who like to speculate with the prices of Bitcoin because it is their decision, if it goes down win with i down, if it goes up win by going up , here Things are like that in bitcoin, there is no other way, but I think it is risking a lot of capital, it is only Safest, what you Should have is Patience.

Many people like to leave Bitcoin in HODL , since it is something that we will always have as our first option, especially when we do not know anything about Trading , Personally I do tyranqding, but there are times when you do not have an understanding of the market as Well, it has to Stop.

I say something, we are all thinking people, the majority of us have been living for years because of some things that have us in a system where they tell us that we should study , work and live on a pension but now things are not like that, because basically when It is about making things much easier, living on a salary that is all Under a Financial state like the local FIAT or International like the dollar because it is something that affects a lot, in this order of ideas we could think about doing other things, But the way one has to think about bitcoin, that investing in bitcoin is a ris k, is something that cannot be Considered in the slightest.

In fact, in a possible scenario that bitcoin falls to less than $10k, what you have to do is buy and buy bitcoin, because when it decides to rise in price, it is likely that it could reach around $200k, and this taking a very Exaggerated Scenario, where I am basically putting extreme conditions, this is something that is considered but that has to be seen in other things , that is why it will never be a risk in life, quite the Opposite , the person who Invests in Bitcoin is an intelligent person .

Bitcoin is more profitable when you are holding it for a long time. Some people invest in Bitcoin for a short-term profit, which may not really earn them a huge profit compared to when they hold until an all-time high is met. For example, towards the end of 2022, the price of bitcoin was around $15k, but around January–February of 2023, the price increased to about $20k+. There were different investors who bought bitcoin when the price was $15k, and some of those investors sold when the price got to $20k, while others are still holding till now that the price is $42k. My question now is: between those that bought $15k and then sold at $20k and those that sold at $45k, who made more profit?

Investing in Bitcoin is about patience, and those that actually hold for a long time will make more profit than those that sold quickly when they only accumulated a little profit.

My point is that it is sad that the majority of the crypto investors only care about profit instead of the BTC technology and I believe this is also the reason why OP considers holding BTC not to be more profitable than trading.

Holding Bitcoin is quite safe but it still has a risk. No crypto coins have no risk for holding, every crypto coin is risky. But Bitcoin is the most recommended coin, it has a big role in crypto industry. Bitcoin is also the main coin in crypto space. So, we can feel safe to put our money in Bitcoin.

Well, if we have skills in trading, it is no problem to trade Bitcoin, too. However, not everyone has the intention to trade Bitcoin. Some people prefer to hold Bitcoin only.

Bitcoin is very risky for long-term retention if it reaches high price values. Then, due to the high volatility of bitcoin and the incoming negative information, it is very likely that the onset of panic and bitcoin can quickly become practically devalued.
The retention of bitcoin is best combined with periodic trade, with a clear increase and decrease in its rate. This will bring a good extra profit.

Well, I have always said something, because I have determined that every 4 years it is very likely that there will be a bullish movement and it will probably happen again, so these types of things are what should be considered, of course each person has their own way of thinking. and that is respected, but in my chaos I will always see this as an opportunity, so I could never see bitcoin investing as a risk, therefore the moment someone spends so much time hodling bitcoin, it will probably bring a great result, because these types of things can make a difference, I personally would say that every time you have options to win it is with this investment, regardless of whether others want to buy other cryptos, other alts because it is their problem, For me what makes the difference is bitcoin.

When bitcoin rises, it will do so in a big way, as I have said every time bitcoin reaches a new ATH, the profits for those who have bought for a long time will be very profitable with the amount of profits they will Obtain.

But so far it has proven itself already, the OP's thread is 2018, when the market is at the start of the bear market and probably this is what he said that it has risk because price is going down and maybe he or someone he knew brought Bitcoin during it's high or or around that price.

Nevertheless, we've seen in the last bull run that we have reach new all time high of $69k. And now we are in the bull market again, and so if we just stay on the market, buy and HODL and simply invest, don't make things complicated on our end by like trading, although I don't have anything against short term trader, but its not fore everyone.

So long term has risk, but if you know how to handle it, you will be good with Bitcoin.

good boy! for short-term trading you must be someone who knows how to read charts, who knows how to obtain important information that can move the market and many other parameters to take into consideration.
HODL is much safer, especially if done wisely!
We are currently not very far from the last ATH, and the bitcoin halving is getting closer and closer and I believe that in the post halving it is the time to make decisions, hold on or sell smartly.
But having said that, I agree with you, holding bitcoin can be risky but just keep an eye on it and you won't get hurt

It seems like you are an accomplished investor because you can understand that Bitcoin is not suitable for short-term trading.
But don't be mistaken, friends, because every Bitcoin transaction on every exchange and blockchain is a trade and that means trading Bitcoin every day is very good.
But I also agree with you because daily trading really makes us nervous and panic easily because the portfolio tends to go up and down very quickly, in contrast to the long term where even if it goes down 50% for Bitcoin it doesn't matter because the supply is small enough to make Bitcoin this will continue to rise.

You discuss two different investment strategies wisely. Holding Bitcoin long-term can be profitable given its history of rising values, while day trading does require a fair amount of skill and time. A combination of long-term and short-term approaches can provide diversification and flexibility in a portfolio. Keeping an eye on market conditions and following a strategy that suits your investment goals is important.

Bitcoin is one of the best suitable crypto in cryptocurrency market. We also make very good profit from BTC. Holding Bitcoin for long time is very perfect for cryptocurrency market. We also can see the biggest profit for treading. Bitcoin also make a good profit for short-term tread. But sometimes short-term will be risk for investors.  We also see that an investor achieve good profit for invest Bitcoin. So if we invest or tread in cryptocurrency, we must be good knowledge for best profit. So if we know the cryptocurrency market and hold for long-term is not risk for us. So long-term hold in Bitcoin is the best profitable for an investor.

Even though vast majority of my savings is in bitcoin I woulnd't say its not a risky thing to hold it, and I woulnd't say that for any other asset. As a matter of fact, bitcoin is among the more risky ones given how long has its been on the market and how revolutionary it is (which means strong enemies).

People should be more rational when it coems to Biytcoin instead of thinking about it like its some invincible magic money. I mean, it is great but that shoulnd't make people complacent.

This idea makes sense to me, that's what I'm trying to do, but it's not easy. First of all, I don't trade with all my money because sometimes my trades are wrong. In order not to be left out of the market, I trade Bitcoin with 1/3 of my money, I hodl Bitcoin with the other 1/3, and with the remaining 1/3 I use the same strategy in altcoins as I do in Bitcoin.

Investing and trading are two different things, you should first make sure whether you are investing or trading. Trading in the crypto market is inherently risky, yet investing in Bitcoin or trading in Bitcoin is much safer than other coins. If any coin is to be held in long term plan then Bitcoin is the safest and the first coin that comes to mind. You can use Bitcoin as a trading tool just like you can hold a long-term plan. Trading in other coins is a little bit more profitable while trading in Bitcoin is a little bit less but it is much safer to trade in Bitcoin or invest in Bitcoin even though the profit is less. I think you prefer relatively low risk rather than relatively high gain.

Long term investment or holding is not risky at all if invested only in Bitcoin or other stable currencies that are very popular in the market. If investment is made in Shit project then it is definitely risky in terms of long term investment and once the project is dumped out of the market, it is not possible to recover the investment. That's why in many cases long term investment is risky only in Shit projects.

Long term investment or holding is not risky at all if invested only in Bitcoin or other stable currencies that are very popular in the market. If investment is made in Shit project then it is definitely risky in terms of long term investment and once the project is dumped out of the market, it is not possible to recover the investment. That's why in many cases long term investment is risky only in Shit projects.
Not only is your investment in bitcoins risk-free, but if you can't choose the right wallet for your holdings, no matter how good your investment is in the right project. You must select the right wallet for your holdings and keep the security systems under your control in a safe place. If you invest in Bitcoin and decide to make a long-term investment, but you are careless in choosing a wallet, your long-term investment will definitely be risky. Be it long term investment or short term investment any type of investment will be profitable if you can invest at the right time and plan for long term savings by choosing the right wallet.

This idea makes sense to me, that's what I'm trying to do, but it's not easy. First of all, I don't trade with all my money because sometimes my trades are wrong. In order not to be left out of the market, I trade Bitcoin with 1/3 of my money, I hodl Bitcoin with the other 1/3, and with the remaining 1/3 I use the same strategy in altcoins as I do in Bitcoin. The market we are in is moving 24/7. Why shouldn't we move with it and have the chance to earn more?
Won't your head swell from daily cryptocurrency trading? ) It seems to me that this is not the most successful example. It's better to keep a long distance. So at least you can maintain your mental health.

A few years ago I traded every day and it led me to lose almost all my money. And all because of the accumulated fatigue and poor emotional state. Therefore, I came to the conclusion that I would rather choose the investment process rather than trading.

I think for now long time investment can never be risky. However, I have not faced any such situation so far, but as far as I know and understand, if a long-term investment can be made, then there can never be any risk in that investment. But I have known that if the investment is short term the profit is less and if it is long term the profit is more but I have not invested long term in any coin till now. So I can't give any idea about profit in long term investment.

I totally agree with your opinion because before making a long term investment one definitely needs a secure wallet to hold that investment. Those who invest but cannot provide investment security have high investment risk. There are many people who use exchange wallet instead of using their own wallet for investment, I would like to tell those investors that you should always use your own wallet to hold the investment and keep the seed phrase of that wallet in a very safe place otherwise investing in exchange wallet. Lose your money very quickly. One thing to always remember is that freedom is more difficult to defend than to gain.

Long-term holdings are the least risky because the price of Bitcoin is certain to rise. Bitcoin halving cycle comes after four years, if you observe this halving cycle you can see that after the halving the price of bitcoin increased the most. So I think investing in bitcoin is definitely less risky because the price of bitcoin will increase and the benefit is more. If you trade then you face losses if you are not enough to take trades at the right time. So usually new investors face more trading losses. If you are experienced then definitely hold bitcoin long term.

I don't know of anyone who has faced long-term losses investing in Bitcoin. We can easily get an idea from a simple review where we can see that long term holders of Bitcoin have never lost. At the beginning of 2016, if a person held a bitcoin, it was worth about 400 dollars. If he could have held his bitcoins until 2017, he would have been worth about $19,000 per bitcoin. I figured if he didn't sell the bitcoins at that time then the next year the price of bitcoins would drop to around $3500. Again in 2019, it again fell to 10,000 dollars and then again to 6,000 dollars due to volatility. In this way, Bitcoin continues to grow, today it is at $38,000.

(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/25/kFjtI.png)

Many will question that in 2021 Bitcoin was $69,000 at that time those who bought lost. I would say that those who didn't hold Bitcoin long term only lost. Those who bought high and still hold will get that chance again. He must hold until get that opportunity. In case of Bitcoin a holder does not lose but when he sell his bitcoin at that time he will face profit or loss.

This strategy reflects the belief that the price of Bitcoin will tend to increase in the long term, especially as the Bitcoin halving cycle occurs every four years.
Bitcoin halving cycles occur every four years, and this reduces the rate of new Bitcoin mining. Historically, the period after each Bitcoin halving often sees significant price increases due to the influence of limited total supply, while very high demand has an important influence on Bitcoin price movements and can be said to be a good place to make long-term investments.

We can't deny that investing in Bitcoin is also risky but it is less risky than investing in altcoins. People who understand the 4 years cycle and Bitcoin halving must know when they should buy Bitcoin and when they sell Bitcoin. It is not too difficult to determine the exit target in Bitcoin investment. It is so different when you invest in shit coins, there is no clear future of this coins. They even can be delisted from the exchanges. That's why they are very risky. Anyway, why you invest in stable currencies for a long time?

The risk attached to a Bitcoin investment is that if the investor doesn't have proper knowledge about Bitcoin, they can buy it at a high price, and when they see that the price is falling, they will rush and sell at a loss. Another risk is a security bridge that can lead to a loss of funds, and this problem is usually known to be the investor's fault. If investors keep their coins on a centralized exchange and the exchange gets hacked, then it's their fault; if perhaps any Bitcoiner mistakenly releases their private key or secret phrase to the wrong hand, they can get compromised.

Those are the risks of bitcoin investment. Whoever has quality knowledge about Bitcoin investment will buy during the bear market and hold their coin patiently in cold storage until it's bull market, where they can sell and make a profit.

Just like you already said, investing in altcoins is so risky.

Yes. Investing in Bitcoin will be risky if we have lack of knowledge. People who don't know the price history of Bitcoin and they don't know the potential of Bitcoin, never understand how to invest in Bitcoin properly. When there is a bad issue about Bitcoin, they easily panic and they sell the Bitcoin at loss. There are many cases of new investors to lose Bitcoin because they are hurry to sell Bitcoin. They don't know if Bitcoin price has the period to decrease and increase. We just need to understand when the best time to sell.

If we invested bitcoin for along time , we always know bitcoin price will always volatile.
Panic is nature.
But we should have knowledge, sometimes negative issues against bitcoin and crypto.
It makes the price drop.

I agree with your opinion " We just need to understand when the best time to sell ".
Investment is doing at the right time to buy and sell.
It's the fact at crypto world.

Trading is more profitable, but we must have good knowledge, skill and manage emotion.
But during trading, we also hold several times when market down.
So both always we did.
Trading is needing focus and always monitor the market trend.
Learn volume and choose the right coin.
Several people prefer in new coins, they said It's  more profitable.
If we talk how much profit, it depends on your strategy.


It depends on how you deal bitcoin. If you trade btc make sure you have even a little profit and let it earn until such time to make it bigger. I think trading is not one day huge profit but it is all about little by little movement.

Absolutely right, trading is gaining profit little by little.
Except we use huge fund to do trading, we will gain big profit.
Whales will get profits during trading, but I see whales prefer hold the coins than do trading.


You are right because bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrencies it is save to be held for long term investment
~

Yeah, bitcoin is always being the favourite for holder.
Bitcoin is more safe  for hold.
In my analysis, as long as bitcoin so popular and no negative issues I think bitcoin price will go up every bullish season.

Trading in the short term is very risky because the price of Bitcoin fluctuates widely. If you buy bitcoins for short term trading then there is definitely a possibility that the price of bitcoins will go down. 

But if you hold long-term bitcoins then definitely four these bitcoin halving cycles will increase the price of bitcoins. This is proven by looking at the bitcoin halving since 2012, currently 2024 is the halving year so the price of bitcoin is sure to go up. This is why it is best to hold bitcoins for the long term, if you hold bitcoins for the time being and sell them at a small profit, you will experience the most losses.

We always find that those who invest for the long term are the only ones who succeed.  We see the Bitcoin market halve in 2012.  This proves that the Bitcoin market will continue to grow.  Everyone is holding that the Bitcoin market will definitely be pumping in 2024.  Those who stick to long-term goals succeed.  Many of us still lack so much knowledge that we do not properly understand when to invest.  When we see that the Bitcoin market is in a dumping position, we tend to get depressed.  When some people see that the price of Bitcoin is in a dumping position, they are busy selling their coins.  As a result they lose their currency.  Investors who rush a little never succeed.  Because they can't find the right time to sell bitcoins because they lose patience.  If you want to succeed in investing, you must take the long-term path.  Long term investment has less chance of loss.

Of course, Bitcoin's momentum is bullish because there's always an ups and downs in Bitcoin prices. When you look back to 2021 you can see that the price of Bitcoin touched 68k dollars. From market highs coming into 2022, the Bitcoin market has touched 16 since the market bottomed out. This is the long fall of Bitcoin it will definitely recover, from January 2023 - January 2024 Bitcoin price was again up to 48k. Then you notice how the price of Bitcoin is going up, because the price of Bitcoin is going down creating opportunities for investors. This means that if Bitcoin was invested and held for a year, the price would have increased by two to three times. Just one year of holding can see a lot of dividends, long-term holding is much less risky. Because holding on to Bitcoin will surely increase its price.

The post is made in 2018, but still it's applicable until today 2024.
To answer that question, yes there's a risk in holding Bitcoin for long term... or I don't think there's any. :D

TBH, I always believe that every asset has risks including Bitcoin, but it has been the leading cryptocurrency ever since it was created, and it has been at the top in terms of market cap. Is there any risk in holding it for long term? I mean we know that Bitcoin's price is very unpredictable, but will it came to a point where the price of Bitcoin will reach 4-digits, or worse, zero?

I'm sorry. I'm at a point where I'm thinking whether it's risky or not. I guess it isn't that risky at all. There are risks but it's minimal to almost none.

That's correct. In trading, you can earn more and faster, but it's very easy to lose all your money. Therefore, it's better to buy BTC and other cryptocurrencies only for the long term. Absolutely, it will be safer for the mental well-being and health of any individual at the very least  :D

Bitcoin has demonstrated multiple times that price drops are inevitable. However, after these declines, new historical price highs are expected.

       -   The profit obtained in short-term trading is even greater if we have extensive knowledge about it. That's why it's really good that we can study and understand crypto trading well.

So I don't see any risk in long-term holdings. To be honest, unless you don't know that the crypto asset that you or we bought for the long term doesn't have the potential to rise as much as we expect,  But if you're sure, like Bitcoin, it's fine, and there's no risk at all.

returned to everyone who wants to do short-term trading; as long as they know and can analyze it well, they will certainly make a very good contribution.agree that you must prepare yourself first with reliable knowledge in order to determine the best steps.

Long-term investment is of course something that doesn't want to take unwanted risks because price changes always occur quickly, but I agree that maybe for Bitcoin, which until now has a very reliable contribution, but it's not like there aren't any altcoins that are also good; just choose from the rankings. The best available at CMC is guaranteed to be safe.

Agreed, there is no risk if we hold bitcoin for long term. Bitcoin  will be  more expensive if we hold for long time. But for altcoin, we should hold for short term , or maybe one season max 3 years.
I don't underestimate for altcoin, but if we compare to bitcoin, I think bitcoin is better.

Yes, there is no risk in long-term investment in Bitcoin because we have seen many times that the price of Bitcoin has fallen a lot for correction but it recovers again, sometimes it takes a long time and sometimes recovery takes less time, so those who will invest in Bitcoin for a long term should not  no risk  But his long-term investment must be so long that he will not sell the bitcoins until he gets a good profit.  But if someone panics and sells bitcoins after investing in bitcoins with a long-term investment plan, he has to take responsibility because panic selling can never be considered as a long-term investment.

So, what you're thinking is the bigger the risk, the bigger the profit you'll get? And are you also forgetting that the bigger the risk in your trading, the bigger the potential loss too?

I understand that there are still many people doing short trading to seek profit. That's not wrong. But what needs to be remembered is about risk management, where everyone has different abilities to handle risks.

I'm not smart enough to do technical analysis or anything related to short and medium-term trading. And instead of spending money on that, what suits me better is long-term holding.

Short trading, or what is usually called scalping trading for me, poses a very big risk and must be avoided because scalping trading has the potential to get you trapped at high prices. Many have experienced this, including me. When trading, I prefer to do it because trading is normal and I don't really want to make quick profits because I understand the process that has to be gone through and, of course, the risks that have to be minimized.

      -   Holding Bitcoin long-term for me is no problem, as far as I know, especially if you hold it for 5 years. That means you will just wait for the 5 years that will pass before you sell it. That also means that whatever happens in the market, you will not be affected because your only target is to sell it after 5 years.

This is the difference between the long-term and short-term holders of Bitcoin, where the short-term are somewhat affected by what happens in the market because they are the ones who need to get profit in a short period.

yeah, I too am someone who thinks that holding bitcoin in the long term is a very good thing to do. Because bitcoin continues to make history with the ATH price they continue to reach every time after the bitcoin halving. So I learned from the history of bitcoin prices and have decided to invest in bitcoin for the long term. But I don't like trading it in the short term. Because the profits are small and if you want big profits you need large capital. So for short term trading I prefer to do it on altcoins and take advantage of their volatility.

Bitcoin is only specialized for long-term investment because it has proven to provide great returns.
Trading short-term certainly requires a lot of money, but the best for short-term trading is indeed Altcoins, moreover we will also soon welcome altcoin season.

Choose a top-ranked altcoin with high volatility so that it has a fast movement.
My favorite altcoin, which is ETH up and a few other altcoins.

I believe that the solutions you provided are way too incorrect. In the sense that an investor will ultimately earn if they plan to hodl bitcoin for an extended period of time. Consider any investor who purchased bitcoin in the vicinity of 2018, the year this post was published. And I managed to hold onto it till now (2024). Was it why I made money from it? As of 2018, the price of bitcoin is "2024", if we were to check.

There has been a significant price difference since then. Bitcoin is now worth $45k, compared to about $20k in 2020. a significant disparity in cost.

In fact, Bitcoin is very suitable for long-term investment. As long as we understand bearish and bullish time periods, it will be very worth it to invest in Bitcoin. Imagine if we buy Bitcoin at a rate below $10k now, until later in the bullish era, the increase will be multiple times that to get the profits. So, the potential to gain the profits are high. although there is still  risk.

Buying BTC at the bottom and selling it at the peak seems like a simple strategy, but only on paper. In reality, there are many, both novice and experienced investors, who cannot correctly identify the end of a bearish trend. Moreover, not everyone has the patience to wait out a bearish trend, especially if the entry point was initially chosen incorrectly.

I have several do that, and successful. I have bought at 2022 Bitcoin price at $ 20K. Maybe It wasn't the bottom. But I hold until now, I have gained big profit if I seel now. But not for now. I will sell next year.

Because the profits are small and if you want big profits you need large capital. So for short term trading I prefer to do it on altcoins and take advantage of their volatility.
Bitcoin is only specialized for long-term investment because it has proven to provide great returns.
Trading short-term certainly requires a lot of money, but the best for short-term trading is indeed Altcoins, moreover we will also soon welcome altcoin season.

Choose a top-ranked altcoin with high volatility so that it has a fast movement.
My favorite altcoin, which is ETH up and a few other altcoins.
It seems like ETH has always been a favourite of many crypto users or even the majority of crypto users. Because we have to admit that the hype on the ETH network has never died out. If their Layer 1 doesn't have an event then what happens is that their Layer 2 creates an event and creates hype. Like Arb and others. So trading on everything in the ETH ecosystem sometimes rarely makes me disappointed. Because the hype never seems to stop. It's just that we have to know which way the narrative is moving.

The long term is still Bitcoin and the short term is altcoins.

Maybe this is a little off-topic because we are talking about ETH.
ETH has a strong ecosystem, being the pioneer of many emerging chains today and being the parent of all Layer 2, layer 3 etc. Chains.

So any project in the ETH Ecosystem will have better value, but certainly thirsty for projects that are really fully supported and have good hype.

Holding ETH for the long term is just like Bitcoin, because ETH follows the price of Bitcoin.
ETH for me is a long-term investment because it's almost like Bitcoin, it has a strong community and the development of ETH is getting better.

I'm new to this forum, but I've learned a lot about bitcoin. I have spent a lot of time researching Bit Coin and Altcoins. I've done a lot of research on Bitcoin's bullish and bear markets. I learned that long-term holdings in Bitcoin have a higher potential for profit. Short-term holdings may hurt us. I think everyone should be holding long.
As you have done a lot of research and learned a lot about Bitcoin, you should also learn that if you don't invest in Bitcoin for a long time, you will never get the desired results. Those who invest in Bitcoin should invest long-term for a minimum of four years.

For short term investment I think you should invest in alt coins where you can get short term profit but the risk involved is very high. And if you invest in Bitcoin then do it for a long time then you will get good returns at one time.

I think Holding Bitcoin for a long time is not risky, but there might be less profit if i don't do trade.. So, to make a good profit from BTC we must do the short-term trade as well.

What do you think?
Trading will not you guarantee profit because it is short term process and it has high risk so you should skip trading plan if you choice bitcoin. bitcoin is a potential currency and profitable assets for long term holding. it has aslo risk for long term holding but much less then trading. so i will suggest always to everyone for holding bitcoin for long term without trading it. if someone love trading and want to do that then altcoins will be better for them because as there is high risk, there is opportunity for high profit in short period of time. So if you take a risk, you should take the risk here.

I think long term trading in case of bitcoin is good because if we kept our bitcoin for at least four years then there is a chance that we will see more profit during Bull season that take place after every four years.

You can also think about your profit that if you have larger profit then sell your bitcoin and then wait again for lower buying price but all the time price does not reduce to the desired cost and you can miss Bull season in such situations.

Everyone has different thoughts and they think according to their benefits so keep check on your win percentage and then take any decision but in my opinion long term investment is good for getting good profit.

Holding Bitcoin for a very long time is very good and gives a lot of profit because when you sell it, the price of Bitcoin has soared and become very expensive, like now. Imagine when you bought Bitcoin in 2014 and sold it in 2024. You only have 10 years to become rich.

If we bought bitcoin in 2014 and are still holding on to it now, if we sell it when it is bullish next year we will be rich, because we know what the price of bitcoin was in that year. holding bitcoin is always profitable if you buy when bullish and sell when bullish.

I also think holding bitcoin for long time is not risky. Day by day Bitcoins mining finishing but it’s usability and popularity increasing. So in future Bitcoin price will go moon. So who will hold Bitcoin he will be huge profited there has no doubt.
Moreover we know who are holding still all are profited till now. Ten years ago from now bitcoin price was very low. Who are bought bitcoin then and holding most of them economically established. And i also think who will hold from now for long time he will also establish economically there has no doubt.

It is actually more profitable to hold bitcoin for a longer period of time than short term, some people can earn around 3% in daily day with short term trading, but long term trading or investors possibilities earn more than 150% profit earning from bitcoin.
Its depend how mindset and technical adopted by some trader when looking advantage or opportunities which one potential has large amount profitable with long term or short term investing in bitcoin.
I don't think all trader have diamond hand by holding bitcoin assets for longer time, they will prefer to earn much profitable than small amount profit with short term trading.

That is true that Bitcoin it more profitable to hold for long-term but long-term holding that there will be no risk of loss it is not true. Rather, if you do not take care in this case, a little careless can put a big investment at risk. Because there are many news articles where long-term holders have lost their entire funds due to their small quirks, even though there is more risk of being hacked than losing by trading. And in this case, you have to always keep yourself in check in the case of long term holding.
However, in comparison to Bitcoin or short-term trading, the risk of loss in long-term trading is less. But if you can't sell at the right time, many times emergency situations come and break the long-term strategy and face losses. So I think holding Bitcoin for long-term that doesn't mean that it's risk free.

      -   For me, it doesn't seem risky if I hold it long-term. Because it has already been proven and tested since it was created and appeared in the internet world in 2009, if we look at the history of every halving of Bitcoin, everyone has seen that the price value of Bitcoin has not gone down.

That's why, as the year goes by, more and more whale investors are interested in buying Bitcoin, especially now that we're getting closer to the bull run and there's a lot of hype going on right now.

The best approach for Bitcoin investment is undoubtedly to HODL for a long-term. Bitcoin isnt like every other tokens that you can just buy today and you're already expecting a return next month or even anytime sooner. Bitcoin should be held for long-term before you can even reap the profits that Bitcoin promises

It's a bit of a rollercoaster ride, but that's not necessary a bad thing.there are few factors to know, firstly Bitcoin is notoriously volatile, don't expect a clean , and steady climb to the top. Secondly there's always a risk of hacking, regulatory and theft. Despite the risks involved, Bitcoin still show potential for long term growth and it could be worth the risk for some investors.

I do have the same question. I think timing is also important if you want to minimize the risk. For example, if you buy it at 20k in the bearish trend back in 2022 and holding it till this point. You can still make a huge profit because we all know the next halving of BTC will push the price up based on previous experience. In this sense it is not that risky I would say.

Bitcoin price has increased the most in the present time, so if Bitcoin can be invested, the benefit will definitely be earned. It depends on the person who buys the bitcoin and can keep it for a long time, because the bitcoin will definitely increase after four years. There is a halving cycle ready to retain its peak momentum through this cycle and reap the benefits to all investors.
