Have you accepted the risk in bitcoin before investment?

Yes, we have to be open to what others say, not to imitate it 100% but we can learn from what we hear.

I always think that we have to empty ourselves, meaning we should not feel like we already know so that we are reluctant to listen to what others say. On the contrary, even though we already know, it is better for us to learn again to deepen it.

          -     We should always be an empty cup, it is difficult to always have a full cup, when the cup is always full it turns out that we don't know how to listen or we don't want to increase our knowledge. That's why there are others who learn from the mistakes of others and also learn from the advice of others.

That's why we here give our own opinions that can provide ideas or knowledge to other communities here.
That's why as investors we should also be risk takers.

That's right, and maybe if our cup is full then we will be arrogant and will never want to listen to others and even new knowledge.

This is actually very much related to our real loss which must always add new insights. Maybe we have all heard this "don't look at who is talking, but look at what he said". that means we have to be open to anything.

Well, wise men will be good listener,s so yeah being open to anything will help us to gather good or bad knowledge and from that we can analyse what is really needed for us and what is not needed. Be receptive, don't assume we know everything then only we will look the opinion of others and who knows even a few small insights from someone can be a breakthrough moment.

Each investor has a different goal. Even if we hold Bitcoin for a short term, I'm sure we also can enjoy the profits. You can learn the price change of Bitcoin in the last year and this year. If we buy Bitcoin in the early of 2024 and we sell the Bitcoin in this year, we still get enough profits. Investing in Bitcoin isn't a must for many years, it can be for few months or a year. However I agree that the profits will be high if we hold more than 5 years. Holding 10-11 years will have huge profits for sure.

hold bitcoin does not have to be long term, buying when there is a correction and selling it when the price increases is also the right way to do it because we can get profit from it.
Long term, short or medium term hold, all are done to get profit. so it all depends on the policy and target of each.

Yep everyone has their own way of profiting in bitcoin, short term, long term or they trade in futures - all that matters is profit.
But if I myself am more long-term to Hold BTC, this has been proven to produce a high enough ROI even more than 150% of these profits, but you have to be patient because it takes a long time.

True. It is not a must to hold for a very long time. We can hold for few months or few years only. It depends on our target, how much we want to gain the profits. If we only expect for small profits, we even can get profits for holding few weeks or months. But if we target for significant profits, it should be 3-4 years at least. Sure, we must always buy when it is in correction or red market. However, it is not a must to buy in each dump or red market.

to decide long-term or short-term investment depends on the capital and strategy of each. If you have capital and free, we can choose long-term investment. However, if we have small capital, we can choose short and medium term or do trading.
If we are good at trading, we can choose trading to get consistent profit. I think all investment methods are good

Often people’s vision is limited to only the positive outcomes of each decision in reference to investment, while every decision involves risk. Even with regards to this need, I think you can choose any that you want, though the choice should not be based on the size of capital. It also means, as already mentioned, that you also have to know your own abilities. It can be a trap to simply copy what others are doing that is all the rage, resulting to utilisation of one method. Trading as a business does appear fascinating but it does entail one to maintain a strong attitude and an even higher consistency. However the long term needs a lot of time and faith in the strategy that you have adopted. So it’s not the matter of which method is better, it is what you do with the method.

Sometimes we find new knowledge from people we never expected. This is a kind of warning for us that we should never feel like we know everything, because there are still many people out there who are better.

Opening a discussion space with other people, even though what we talk about may be random things that we have never even done before. But I like that, because we never know what we will be like in the future, so it can be a provision for us.

It is not a must to hold for long, although it is necessary to weigh what the benefits will be when our portfolio is built and managed for more than a cycle, a 5+ year time compared to just holding when the price is low and plan to sell as soon as the price pumps. Some of the investors who are hurryingly purchasing Bitcoin now are doing so because they want as soon as Bitcoin begins to climb as a result of bull run happening they will sell and make their profits, the challenge there is if the market doesn't go as planned will they be able to hold for as much time it will take for the market to recover before approaching bull run, when the first idea towards investing isn't for the long run there will be problem if the process.

The actual target of most bitcoin has when they decide to HODL some bitcoin is usually the 4 year bull run cycle. The whole timing kind of make sense because if you observe past price movements and charts you will discover that it's more like a reoccurrence after each halving event.

The reason I wouldn't fully support 5 years is because at that time just after the bull run, some earlier periods of the 5th year could end up being a retracement.

When i say 5+ years, we can take the season we are in as an example. Halving occurred early Q2 of 2024, those who bought at that time, expecting to make profits in 4 years interval won't be getting their profits from the ATH exactly in that period, we are in the fifth year after that halving and yet to see ATH of the fourth halving.

What matters also is depending on when you purchase, some investors buy at the peak, some at a low. The market is playing games now, we don't know if we still follow the normal cycle which could be the reason for extending holding period for better profits.

Yeah it's likely always within that same 4 year cycle. Basically you find out that during the end of the first 4 year cycle, price should have started retracements once again and that is one of the best times to consider buying in preparation for the next bull cycle.

Another method people do make use of too is also the DCA method. In that same way you are able to invest in smaller bits that compound over a prolonged timeframe.

When we speak of risk, not just relating it to bitcoin. Before taking any risk generally, one should be ready to accept the dangers that might come if things turns bad. That's why it's very important to understand what you wish to put your money into before going into it. The worst part of the whole risk thing is putting your money into something that turned out to be a scam. But for bitcoin, your investment literally remains there and will recover over time when the market regains it's bullish momentum.
