You are actually right on this, Bitcoin have proven over and over again of how reliable it has been to investors, just as you rightly said, It will gradually take time, but eventually, it's going to recover and even more better than before, I am very positive that in the nearest future, the price of Bitcoin would be so high that those people that refused to invest in it will start regretting, for not trusting in it.

Those people that bought the deep and those people that accumulated it through the DCA method are at a massive profit right now, because they not just trusted in Bitcoin, but they acted by acquiring it, so cheers to them, for the profit, already made.

As people say that patience always pays off, those who thought that Bitcoin would never go up the way it went down may now see that Bitcoin has started its bull rally.  Hence the holders win most of the time

this is absolutely  true. The fact that thier hasn't been a previous ATH that's equal to the current ATH goes to show that holding Bitcoin is the best way to go and will always put you in profit.

I know for some that started off as a trader and that are looking out for immediate returns, holding might not look like the best option but if you're considering making a real time futuristic investment, then their is absolutely no substitute to holding. The advantage with holding your Bitcoin till you reach a set out goal is that it gives you the ability to accumulate more Bitcoin while you're still holding and do so over regular intervals of time which will increase the quantity of your holding before you've reached your goal.

But the main problem of people which newly join the scene is they only look for its current value and happenings that's the reason on why they lose their money since a slow movement of the market either its a dump or pump it can change their decisions. Of they could just able to search the history and know some good informations to help them out strengthen their beliefs then provably that we can see a great changes on their investment decisions and they would not affected on small changes and can able to decide for their selves to hold for long term. There's really a huge advantage for them to hold their bitcoin since it can give them more good result especially if they know how to handle some stress on the market and can able to ignore any fuds that spreading around.

It can't be helped there are many people at first who want bitcoin to fall down or they are soung things in order to tarnish the image of bitcoin, even now that bitcoin already set its another ATH and also showing a very good movement in the market there are atill people who deny bitcoin and saying bad stuff about it, but the thing is no one who proves their claims that bitcoin is bad or not a good investment, and I don't think there are not enough proof about bitcoin being the most powerful crypto currency out there and the fact that bitcoin bull run is yet to come imagine the heights that bitcoin might reach in ita actual bull run and people who deny bitcoin will only regret that they didn't believe and choose bitcoin as an investment, so before its very too late you still has the chance of investing on it.

Bitcoin has really proving itself that it is not to disappoint anyone but to buy hope to the hopeless. Bitcoin even surprised all in the forum and outside the forum because all our predictions are after the halving in April before the Bull Market will start and from the Bull Run bitcoin will hit the All Time High but ironically bitcoin has hitting the All Time High before the halving so after the halving the expectation of bitcoin now is to hit the second all time high in the history of bitcoin. And the second All Time High will be $100+k before it will go back to the bear market again.

So those who are buying now will still make profit from the cryptocurrency market before the market will go back again. So let everyone sit up. Bitcoin has open the way and really as you said other altcoins are not moving like bitcoin but yet some of them have congestion network issue.

Throughout history, we can take valuable experiences and lessons from Bitcoin so that we don't hesitate to become holders for a certain period of time.
Same as you, I don't talk about altcoins and don't really pay attention to the condition of altcoins so far even though it is true that altcoins don't recover when Bitcoin manages to recover in the time needed.

The future of people who want their money to survive a decline in value or people who want to make a profit by investing in Bitcoin, holding Bitcoin without a doubt with proven experience and history will be successful.

Couple of thing made Bitcoin this unique from Altcoins, The fact that Satoshi made BTC in such a way that only 21 million BTC can ever be in existence ,that's you can't print more than 21 million BTC, made it deflationary and hence will continue to increase in value overtime because of its scarcity, And that makes it so interesting and different from the traditional fiat currency we have, and hence it has become more attractive for investors to always run for safety and the demand for Bitcoin will always be there; therefore we will always have Bitcoin bounce back even after a major dump.

Bitcoin hodling has been one of the most profitable investment strategies for people who entered the crypto world very early. For the majority of investors that came after bitcoin reached a price of 10,000 USD it's still a nice return. The advantage of hodling for me is to not have the need to invest a lot of time on research and actively managing my bitcoin holdings. We never know what rational the investors have to be buying or selling now, but without them there wouldn't be a market. Imagine if nobody would be willing to buy bitcoin above 50,000 USD, or nobody would be selling below 20,000 USD. This would mean the market collapses as seller don't find a buyer and will reduce their prices. It wouldn't be possible to take profit by anybody anymore. In my opinion it's fine for people to be buying now if they don't have any coins already and are looking for ways to invest. It's not only bitcoin that is up so much, stocks are also doing pretty well this year. As long as investors have free money and are looking for ways to invest it's fine. As long as you don't spend all your money now to be buying at these high levels. Also if you have been buying bitcoin with the DCA method for the last 12 months you should keep buying. Your initial purchases already made a big profit and you want to keep building your long term crypto portfolio. In my opinion it's better to keep building our crypto portfolio instead of taking big profits and being stuck with fiat money again.
