It’s always like that with BTC, when the price drops & the market seems stagnant, people start questioning their desire to buy BTC. It was only when the new halving milestone was reached with the price of BTC rising & the asset becoming increasingly scarce to mine, that people finally realized the current condition was a favorable one to start buying BTC. It is all just a matter of time.

If you look back then you will regret it now; after a couple of years if you look back again, then probably you will regret why you haven't accumulated when you raised this thread. It will never change; Bitcoin always will give a surprise when you look back. I admit the market would dump more for whatever reason, but just look back five years, and even then you will regret not having accumulated five years' worth back.

However, often small investors become afraid when Bitcoin starts dumping, and they don't accumulate Bitcoin when the price is lowest. We have to take lessons from the past and look back at the whole yearly chart. We should follow the DCA strategy to accumulate Bitcoin so at least after a couple of years we don't have to regret it.

The good thing about Bitcoin is that there is actually no time that will be considered too late for anyone to start. Most of us are complaining about not starting early due to one reason or the other and is looking at the success of those who started earlier before. But that is not important what is important is are you ready to embrace Bitcoin, now that you have come to the understanding of Bitcoin because the value and use of Bitcoin in the next five to six years is definitely going to skyrocket up. And by that time many people are definitely going to still regret.

Controlled. Yes, bitcoin can't be controlled but manipulated, price can't easily be manipulated like altcoins, but it can be manipulated by institutional investors in the picture now and politics are also affecting the markets all the time with any news from top politicians like Trump. They can easily swing the market if they like to some certain level with new economy policy etc, so right now I don't believe bitcoin price can't be manipulated again like I do in the past.

Yes, the person who can take the opportunity to buy during the correction after the price of Bitcoin rises is the real opportunist and it becomes an easy plan for him to hold Bitcoin for a long time. Bitcoin is no longer at the price it was five years ago, and in the future, this price will no longer be there and will be at a higher price. You see, the price of Bitcoin has improved greatly according to the cycle step by step, so the price of Bitcoin has corrected and is now under control.
This is the only time to take the opportunity to buy. Those who will use this opportunity for real, that is, use Bitcoin for long-term holding, will be the best holders. And it will be possible to take Bitcoin investment according to the DCO method, because it makes it easier to hold for a long time.

When you made mention of investing in crypto, you were generalising it, and you don’t just mean Bitcoin alone. There is so much risk in the crypto market, so yes, I can understand if some people don’t feel like taking the risk, but when it comes to Bitcoin, there is risk associated with it, but it’s on the minimal side compared to altcoins, which should be the reason why they should give it a second thought.

Yes, you're absolutely right in your judgment. These were my thoughts when I first saw Bitcoin and realized how cool this technology is, but at the same time, looking at all the people trying to profit from it, it makes me laugh, because every time Bitcoin hits its all-time highs, the whole crowd starts shouting that they "should have bought Bitcoin earlier, but it's too late now." Then, a couple of years later, Bitcoin hits its all-time highs again, and the crowd starts to experience Fomo again, saying that "it's too late to buy Bitcoin now." I wish there were more enthusiasts now who don't see Bitcoin solely as a means of making money.

Well, you have taken a period of five years to calculate the potential value or profit of Bitcoin. I have a question for you in reverse – in your opinion, how many times can Bitcoin increase from its current price in the next five years?

If we look at the previous cycles, I personally do not think that Bitcoin will reach $200,000 in the next five years. Maybe it can go up to $150k. Now note one thing, if it goes from $70,000 to $150k, then that is also roughly a two-fold return.

If I talk about my country, if you keep money in the bank here, you usually get a profit of 9% to 11.5% per year. If you look at it that way, your capital can also roughly double in about 6-7 years.

So if we look at this calculation, I do not see a big difference between investing in Bitcoin and fiat currency. Of course, this is only applicable to my country. I do not know what the interest rates are in other countries.

 I think that if Bitcoin does not increase at least 3-4 times from this position, then it is difficult to call it a very attractive profit. But this also depends entirely on time. Because the calculation I gave, in five years you get almost two times. Again, if you take a time like 15 years, it may be 4-5 times. So I think that when judging the potential profit of Bitcoin, it is equally important not only to look at how many times it has increased, but also how long that return is being received.

Only those who don’t really understand the market or how it works will question or feel skeptical about buying bitcoin just because the price has gone down or I struggling at a particular point. When I see people like this, I’m tempted to ask them when exactly is the best time to buy bitcoin if not when the price is down, or is it when the price has started skyrocketing or prolly when it has hit a peak. lol, ignorance and fear can really make people do stupid things.

i want us to know that is everyone will have passion on bitcoin...they're people who have no interest in bitcoin due to the way they understood the currency..And secondly bitcoin were not created due to what most of us think that is the reason why bitcoin were created..basically, bitcoin is a currency that was created as support for buying and selling, but we bitcoiners misunderstood the uses for investment purposes..so I'm telling you that it's not mandatory that everyone most invest in bitcoin...
