Profit and Loss in Crypto Currency...?

[akeemqaz]

I think Bitcoin's high volatility is reducing every year, but it's still concerning because it's much higher in volatility than fiat currencies and most stocks. And also, the concern with this volatility is reducing over time because there are other cryptocurrencies with higher volatility than Bitcoin, and these are not only low market cap cryptocurrencies, but top ones too.

Price volatility is a religion of cryptocurrency. And that's why we are able to profit from this and it is gradually gaining a lot of popularity. Bitcoin prices show high volatility, but holding for a long period of time can make a standard amount of profit from Bitcoin. Because it forms a new ATH after a certain period of time. If one invests in Bitcoin and holds it till the next ATH.  Then in this case it is possible to make a good amount of profit.  Investing in crypto requires proper knowledge of these issues and acceptance of these risks.

Yes, although this volatility becomes less accute year after year the risk remains waaay higher than in fiat money or most shares. That is why many investors still stay always alert. But interestingly, as the crypto market grows, people become accustomed to these changes in value, particularly as other types of cryptocurrencies are making their way to the market, which have a higher level of volatility than Bitcoins.
 
 Actually, this high level of volatility is not only observed in small coins but also in several large altcoins with fairly a good market capitalization as well. Therefore, while Bitcoin remains flavoured as ‘volatile’, many investors look at it as relatively more stable than several other crypto- assets. This is also what seems to have mitigated the risk of risk in fluctuations in prices of bitcoins for the more experienced traders.

Bitcoin is considered relatively stable compared to other crypto assets, but in my opinion, Bitcoin is still volatile, because Bitcoin's vitality is what attracts investors to buy Bitcoin and hold it for the long term, because the longer the price of Bitcoin becomes more expensive.

But less volatile than any other cryptocurrency except stable coins. Or do you think there are coins that are less volatile than Bitcoin?

Actually, I think bitcoin is also volatile, just like altcoin. But if someone says bitcoin is relatively stable because it is likely to rise again after experiencing a bigger correction than altcoin, because we see when the price of bitcoin goes back up after a correction, it seems like some altcoins have difficulty going back up, this is a fact in the crypto market that we often see.

You are right that bitcoin is also very volatile because we often see bitcoin experiencing several corrections. We can take advantage of this volatility by buying when the price drops and holding it. Coins that are relatively stable are stable coins and we cannot hold stable coins for long because the goal of investing is to make a profit.

The higher the gain, same way the higher the losses in cryptocurrency. Crypto investment doesn't always come with gains, it comes with losses also if you invest in altcoins for long term instead of Bitcoin.

Having a higher gain in crypto depends on when and how you invest in crypto. The perfect time to invest in Bitcoin is to invest during the bearish market and sell during the bull market.

Exactly.
High risks, high returns probability.
But the benchmark is how we manage the risk itself, because by managing the risk well and wisely, we should hope to minimize the risk of loss.

Yes, the way is how we are able to manage funds to be invested, where we will invest, when is the right time to enter and exit, all of that must be taken into account.

And moreover, it is also related to how our emotions are during investment, before and after too. This is important because emotions greatly affect our success in investment.

And for investment in hype coins, this is a real example of high risks, high returns. That's why you have to be really smart and fast to get the right moment, and quite high profits. However, if it is an investment in Bitcoin and Ethereum, just be patient and wait for the right time to take profits.

An investor must think long-term when investing in crypto. Moreover, the investor should be informed about the risks before investing. While crypto investments have the potential to yield high profits, there is also the possibilities of losses. I would agree with you that if one wants to profit in crypto one must buy from the dip. But in case of Bitcoin, the matter is slightly different because the dip is not always possible. Depending on the market conditions, investing at any stage and holding it for a long period of time has a high chance of making profit.

You are totally right.
If you don't have time to analyze what exactly to do and when to invest in BTC, invest the same sum each month and see the results in a year or so. This method can do wonders for a person in the long run if he has a stable source of income.

It has become a real fact that investing in altcoins will definitely result in losses, especially if it is a meme coin that relies on hype and fomo. If Bitcoin experiences a correction, the recovery time will not be long, although it will be gradual, but it will definitely be different from altcoins where BTC has experienced a 2x increase and has even experienced a correction again, but it is still at the same price.

When it comes to talking about profit and loss in concerns to the cryptocurrencies, it is crucial to take a closer look at the benefits as well as the possible drawbacks. Another unique advantage of cryptocurrencies is their purity and their being free of fraud due to their digital character. This facet only can help with creating the trust and the idea of profitability. Secondly, the gains or rates of return in crypt currencies are usually higher than those in conventional assets, and, in general, crypt currencies enable easier use in purchase of goods via the internet.

The other related benefit is that these are less vulnerable to demonetization and devaluation in some sorts of economic environment conditions. But, as the exact name suggests, it is rather indispensable to outline that volatile digital currencies such as Bitcoin are, indeed, highly vulnerable to fluctuations. While it can make large profits, it also results in high fluctuations and that means being at a risk of big losses. Hence, although currencies are very lucrative, they should be properly assessed and managed. This implies that one should endeavor to remain knowledgeable at all times and should be ready and willing to adapt to any fluctuations in the market.

So is Bitcoin. If you buy any coin in the crypto market, there is certainty of making short term loss due toarket speculation, it can't be avoided but the problem with altcoins is that they can't be trusted with their price action. There are some many projects that has lay low for many now since they had their all time low and many people that bought during that time were expecting price to go up later.

If it was Bitcoin that some people that bought altcoins that refuse to pump back after those bear market, Bitcoin would have save them by now and that's just the advantage of diversifying portfolio with Bitcoin and altcoins.

Yeah, BTC is just a more reliable choice which is best if you go into the long run.
Others projects and coins have potential too, but they don't stand even close to it where BTC stands now.

There are actually certain categories of altcoins that you may loss money if you invest on them, but altcoins like Etheruem, BNB, Sol, Ada, etc are reliable and a potential for investment both on long run and short run basis.
It is also a known facts that Bitcoin drives the crypto market, and being the first coin, it is much more traded than any altcoins out there. The demand for Bitcoin is always growing by the day which is why it can easily recovers after some dip market situations.
In addition, Bitcoin 2% rise or drop in price can affect many altcoins more than 8% depending on the altcoins. Finally, there is profit and loss on every business including Cryptocurrencies.

I don't lose much, not really. I profit where I bet and where I invest. I patiently do what I need to do in the least possible conditions for transactions.

 But extreme volatility in virtual currencies like Bitcoin can be a concern at times.

Its always been like this ever since, but investing in Bitcoin is less concerning than investing in memes, where the price fluctuates rapidly because of the dump after the FOMO.
The market is full of shills and FOMO, but those coins or tokens that have proven their worth in the market for a long time can escape from the harm of these FOMO and shills.
So profit and loss in cryptocurrency is just natural, but what's not natural is getting burned without doing research.

Profit and loss when trading in cryptocurrency is normal and almost all traders have been in this phase, in a profit position or vice versa, a loss position.
I was in a loss position when I first traded and coincidentally the price of the coin I bought fell very drastically, but I had a strong determination to hold on to the position in the next few months from loss to profit after the coin rose very significantly and profits reached more than 100%.
Most important in trading what ever position loss or profit keep calm and not have to be panic, when position loss try to hold as long possibility until price recovery back.
