It's an individual thing everyone of us in this forum has what lead him or her to this forum and as such it's an individual thing. Your intentions is different from mine and that's how it differs to every other person.

Another thing is nobody goes into anything for losses it's either for the knowledge or for profits.

And for a privacy supporter like me I just realized this recently that im more into Bitcoin because of its privacy and freedom, I don't like being controlled so I chose to be free with my finance with the help of Bitcoin.

Nope, I do not feel anything now. I completely understand the 4 Year Bitcoin Cycle and I do not get excited on Bitcoin reaching $40k or going $30k. I understand that it will have to go through all these stages to finally reach the end goal i.e. A all-time new high near October of 2025.

Completely depends on you. I am here for the profits and the thrill. I barely think my life was impacted with the Blockchain technology as of now.
AI made more impact than Blockchain for me personally despite being come too late in the action.

Emotions end over time, everything becomes very calm despite the volatility.

The secret is to study hard and know what you are doing, by following this you will increasingly feel more comfortable being part of this world of cryptocurrencies.

Life is volatile, that's the secret, calm only brings procrastination and discouragement. The interesting thing is the challenge and it is always outside the comfort zone.

For the tech? less likely, they're mostly OGs.
For the profit? that's the reason from 99.9% of people.
For the thrill? gambling or buying shitcoins are the better options.

If people don't understand what they invest for, they will never feel safe at anytime including when they're sleeping. When people can feel safe by investing in Bitcoin because they believe in decentralization, knowing they're almost impossible to get hacked, and know where they hide their back up, those are the real Bitcoin enthusiasts.

If we are to discuss about bitcoin, it must have to be under the experience on both the good and bad, we make invest in it to make profits, we also in our own capacity afford to loose money maybe due to some mistakes we do in it, we have to have the both sides experience in other to know what we have gained and how we should prepare further for the things ahead of us with it's adoption.


One thing we must assure ourselves to achieve is the best we could with bitcoin adoption, either we are trading, investing lond or short, using it as a currency for payment or holding it as our investment asset, we must make sure we are applying it's uses to the profitability our our own self.

A very good point made out because if you should look at the word hold when it is concerning bitcoin, it just for a while until your certification is met, when you have made profit then you holding should be let go at that particular time. And since bitcoin is an investment and the reason for holding should be for profit. Holding permanently does not really make any sence to me. The purpose of buying must be fulfilled.
Buying and holding for a long time is not a bad idea, but when ever it is due time to sell, it is better to sell because some people will always want the price to go higher. And at the end of the day you might even lose everything. And no profit and a scattered capital. That is perfect way to do things buy when it low and sell when it is high. I don't think I can wait for 10 years to sell. Once am okay with the profit then I will sell. Then wait to rebuy.

First thing first, the reason why any investor be it a holder or a trader will put their money into any business is for the sole reason of making profits, and no one will say that he will not feel excited if his investment is making some good profits, everyone loves money that why we work for money, so for sure investment profits is what drives the motive behind every investment so for sure anyone will fall under that category.


Also, another class of people are those who are in for the tech aspect of it, and those are the technical members such as the developers and the rest of them, so we need to get this straight to avoid any possible contradictions.

Most of the holders are holding Bitcoin for the sake of profit only but most of them are also holding it because they trust it and technology behind it. There are many altcoins and few of those have better features then Bitcoin but still no one is interested in those because they aren't reliable projects and even with many extra features they can't get good investors.

I'm into Bitcoin because I trust this project and I can see huge potential in it, I'm also into it because I want to earn enough profits from it in long term. I often use it for transactions because it's much better and reliable than traditional banking systems. I don't know if there is someone who will hold Bitcoin for life but most people who are good at holding will hold it until it reaches and crosses $1M value.

Just as you captured it, the psychology of investing in BTC, everybody has his or her own way of reacting to situations, if your investment is nosediving, I bet you will be in panic mode, however there are other people that would still maintain some level of professionalism and they won't get panic attack because they know it will bounce back. Don't also forget that those of them that are buying and holding, they are doing so because they want their investment to increase in profit, and subsequently take their profit hence they feel like, so the idea of being a holder for life is something I'm not really getting clear, because as some point in life, you would want to make use of your investment.

It is very clear and obvious that most of us in the space are investing into bitcoin to earn profit from it, if not for that purpose, I don’t think it will have wide use and widespread around the world as it is today. If you’re going into an investment as an investor, you’ll first calculate what you stand to get, and if it’s not a profitable asset, no investor will put their money into it. The primary goal of bitcoin has been bypassed and all of this is for its own good because it has gain more acceptance and use than using it only for its main purpose. Whatever the idea the person coming to invest in bitcoin has, it is their own choice but the wide majority settles for the investment part to make a lot of profit after investing in bitcoin overtime.
