BTC: a tool to protect the psychology of crypto investors?

[KryptoBull]

When I first joined the crypto market in 2017, I used to look down on BTC because every new project criticized BTC's technological weaknesses and backwardness: the maximum speed is only 3-7 tps, completely insufficient to serve the payment needs of billions of potential users. In 2020, the DeFi wave also made me believe that new altcoins were the future of crypto, and BTC would gradually be replaced and disappear. I held many altcoins and made a small profit when I sold them at the beginning of 2022.

However, BTC is still alive, creating a bitseason and being accumulated by many large companies while altseason couldn't happen in 2024. Luckily, I've DCA BTC throughout 2023 and had a chance to take profit 20% of total when BTC hit 100K USD in December 2024. During this season, I really felt the difference in my investment psychology: I feel more secure knowing I've profited from BTC, and I'm no longer pressured by temporary losses from altcoins in my portfolio. I can continue holding BTC and altcoins until the peak of the uptrend.

While many altcoin holders are worried that the DeFi-GameFi summer didn't happen in 2024, they even fear that altseason won't come because many top coins are still at their bottom prices. They regret missing out on the opportunity with BTC, they doubt the value of altcoins, including ETH and XRP because they haven't created a new ATH this season.

I realize that BTC is not only the safest asset in the crypto market or guarantees profits for investors in each new period, BTC also plays an important role in protecting investors' psychology, helping them stay calm to make sound decisions when necessary. Ignoring BTC seems not to be a good choice for long-term holders. I already have a plan to allocate 50% of my capital to DCA BTC in the crypto winter of 2026-2027, I hope I will again make a profit from crypto as in this season.

I would like to know your opinion on this issue:

• Do you have BTC in your account?
• Have you ever doubted the value and future of BTC?
• Will you continue to invest in BTC in the next season?

Note:

• My opinion has been presented in a topic, on BitcoinTalk forum.
• This topic on AltcoinsTalks forum has included a minor change in the way my opinion is presented.

Bitcoin is practically a safe haven for cryptos hehehe
I also got to know cryptos the same year as you, in 2017, and my first contact was with ETH and later with BTC

With the crash of 2018 I was quite shaken when I saw my portfolio fall 90%, but over time I studied, seeing how the market works and I became more confident, especially in BTC

I would say that for investors who want more security and don't want to “waste” so much time studying other projects, BTC is the best investment you can make, like buy, hodl and forget

BTC right now is probably 80% of my portfolio

Up till now I don't think anyone should be asking if bitcoin would be more profitable in the next 4-10 years any more, of course the result has shown itself and people who were likewise asking this same questions has seen it clearly that bitcoin is no longer the coin or asset to seems to know at the prelim stage. As a matter of fact bitcoin is now being talk of every nation, i.e every nation thinking about using it as a reserve fund. This crystal shows that we aren't meant to miss the golden opportunity we have now than to back them because nations has involved in the BTC game meaning it will be too expensive in the future, and even if there will be dip I don't think they will allow bitcoin to run to dust any more.

With Bitcoin, we can be rest assured if where we are going, things will have to fall in our own direction as well as getting the expectations we want, because we already have made the right choice in choosing bitcoin, then you will later discover that others are running after you to know the secret behind the progress we are making, while they are not getting it right as they have diverse altcoins investment which they couldn't control or have anything to right about than losses.

Nowadays, there are no longer doubts or fearfulness of Bitcoin not giving investors profits or reaching a new ATH when the price declines. It has turned out that when the price declines, that's the time to accumulate additional Bitcoin because it is certain that its price will increase back, compared to altcoin nobody is too sure they will get to their previous increased prices.

However, Bitcoin has proven to be a worthy investment to make for the future. It is the type of investment you will make, you will feel less worried about the future because you know that it's a bright future for you towards your Bitcoin investments.

Yes, Bitcoin has been proven since the first year Bitcoin appeared until now, as it continues to rise and reach its highest price.
It's not too late to start collecting Bitcoin until now or starting now, the price of bitcoin will still print ATH again, in my opinion, this is still a long journey.

Holding for the long term will give you a profit and do DCA every time bitcoin goes down and it is a good opportunity to buy and accumulate bitcoin holdings.
This will be good for Investor psychology, as Bitcoin is more trusted and more profitable in the future and some altcoins will also follow Bitcoin.

Good question. I think most newbies would not realize btc yet because they are still chasing that one token that will make them a lot of money. With a lot of projects vanishing, it helps to just stick or go back to the one that's already been tested over time. At least you could relax because you know bitcoin will still be there even if you don't follow its progress.

I would like to know your opinion on this issue:

• Do you have BTC in your account?
• Have you ever doubted the value and future of BTC?
• Will you continue to invest in BTC in the next season?

1. Yes, I do have Bitcoin in my account and it is the most investment amount from my total investment.
2. As you already get answer the number one question that the most investment of mine were in bitcoin, so this will automatically answer that I have no doubt to the value of future of Bitcoin.  And why should I doubt on Bitcoin, where Bitcoin is providing the real decentralize ecosystem and as well have the most potential market in crypto and also limited maximum supply.
3. And yes I have plan for continuing after this bullish market with my DCA and also plan to make investment on the next bear season.

It seems to me that you had the wrong approach to Bitcoin from the beginning. From your subject and point of view, it could be concluded that Bitcoin appeared as something unknown to existing crypto investors.
First, Bitcoin represents the beginning of crypto, therefore the investors who appeared came because of some of the foundations that Bitcoin laid.
Next, without Bitcoin, the crypto market would not exist, at least not on this scale. It's safe to say that without Bitcoin, there probably wouldn't be any "crypto investors" or they would be minor.
Finally, altcoins are just individual attempts to create a crypto currency that will be controlled by a specific group of people, which rarely ever end successfully.

Do not mess crypto investors with market speculators who are only interested in quick earnings measured in hundreds of percent.

Yes, I do have Bitcoin in my portfolio and I'm someone who has never doubted in future value of Bitcoin and that's the reason why I'm holding it. Yes, without any question I'll invest in Bitcoin even if its value crosses $120k or $150k but I'll wait for the rights dips to accumulate it and when it reaches some high values I will sell and then wait again for those dips. I've been doing that dip accumulation for quite sometime and to be honest it has been helpful for me.

I have BTC in my account but unfortunately not a lot for reasons beyond my control that I do not want to talk about here because they are off topic.

As for the second question, absolutely not, I have never doubted the value and future of BTC. I have always been certain that Bitcoin is the future and that it will spread all over the world, and I am also confident that all governments will accept it in the near future.

As for the last question, yes, I will continue to invest in BTC next season and all the upcoming seasons as long as I am able to do so, and I will continue with the DCA strategy because we are not finished here.

• Will you continue to invest in BTC in the next season?

1. Yes, just like you, I also have some Bitcoin in my portfolio but just like most people in crypto my hoard is not that so big though since I am living in a third-world country this can already help me economically since I am really hoping that in 2025 the price can reach $150K.

2. Yes, I doubted it many times before and in fact there was a time that I really got so bored with its movement that I resorted to selling all of my BTC for an alt that eventually got into a pump and dump thing resulting me getting some losses. From there on, I learned my lessons on Bitcoin. Bitcoin has this ability to make a good rebound anytime it got struck by lightning. And you can take my words to the bank on that.

3. Yes, I do. I am now planning to hold some Bitcoin and even increase what I got until it would be worth at least $1 million though this can really take some good time...hopefully not beyond 2030. Bitcoin is never perfect but nothing can replace its place in the world and market of cryptocurrency...the King lives on and would even grow even more this year and beyond.

If a newbie learns about Bitcoin, he doesn't need to worry about anything in the world, basically.
He would just need to relax and await his time to reap the boons of his patience. But as you said - many are not willing to do so.

• Do you have BTC in your account?
• Have you ever doubted the value and future of BTC?
• Will you continue to invest in BTC in the next season?

1. Yes, more than 90% of my crypto portfolio is filled with Bitcoin because it's proven again and again no matter who tried to dump it and I don't really take risks with every new trends.

2. Nope, over the time my confidence on Bitcoin just kept increasing especially after understanding the geopolitics, economic structure and why is decentralisation proposed.

3. Yes, I will.

It is better to ignore asking or answering such a question, privacy is important and may make you a target for hackers or worse, for example read ----> https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=327261.msg1695190#msg1695190[/size]


Altcoin investing is usually profitable after Bitcoin goes up like crazy and some of the liquidity moves from Bitcoin to altcoin.
