In as much as bitcoin is concerned not every investor are 100% sure of it.
Most investors loses interest immediately they found losses massively.
Why some investors loses interest, others remain consistent.
because they belief that bitcoin has a long-term potential as a source of value against inflation.
Investment decision is a personal thought that comes with one personal decision towards achieving a goal.
Underestimating the risk involve in it.
People may lose interest in investing in Bitcoin for several reasons:
1. Volatility in price
If bitcoin as an asset wasn't volatile then it probably won't be worth it to hold it for a long time, how many people out there do you see holding stablecoins, they might not jump around in price the way bitcoin does but they are still not worth anything compared to bitcoin.
2. Uncertainty and fear
People naturally fear what they do not understand, this is part of the human nature even more so since bitcoin can not be predicted, no one knows what's going to happen to it tomorrow but if it's history says anything it's that bitcoin has never been a disappointment.
3. Mindset of getting Quick profits
Bitcoin investment isn't something you do if you are planning on getting quick profit from it, it only pays if you are investing and holding for a long time, anyone looking for quick profit should not be looking at bitcoin.
4. Market Cycle's changes
This is not a flaw, it's this way by design and the truth is that even though it's not obvious for some, every asset experiences it.
5. Better Investment Opportunities
Really? People should invest in what works for them instead of bothering with what they can't handle and then saying it's not opportunistic enough.
7. Security Concerns alert
Don't be careless enough to lose your own wallet and you will most likely not get hacked, hacking is not as easy as most people think.
8. Regulatory Concerns
This is a problem because if your country has regulations against bitcoin or cryptocurrencies then you probably won't be able to hold.
9. Emotional Investing
I will always say that if you can't handle it then don't do it, your emotions don't have any place in your investment.
10. Changing Financial Plans
If you really want to be able to accumulate and hold bitcoin then do so with your discretionary income.
Conclusion
You investing in Bitcoin depends on your mindset towards investing, and your goals to achieve after the investment. whether it turns positive or negative.
Just do whatever works for you, just because Mr A is a successful bitcoin investor doesn't mean you will be one too.
