The Simplest Bitcoin Book Ever Written
ON THE PRICE OF BITCOIN
I see hodling (holding) bitcoin like having a long-term
savings account.
The daily price doesn't matter, as it is expected to be
volatile (go up and down) for some years yet.
As I mentioned previously, this is normal for a new asset
undergoing price discovery.
If one zooms out on the BTC/USD price chart, you will see that
it has increased by +31,296% since 2009, averaged out to ~200%
per year.
The price swings reflect various news articles, regulatory
updates, market demand, fear and excitement. It's a
roller-coaster!
The longer you hodl, the more you learn and understand the
fundamentals, and the more you realize the profound
implications of having sound money, the less the price
matters.
Disclaimer:
Only put in what you 'can afford to lose', since there
are, of course, no guarantees.
Consider the bitcoin you buy as a long-term savings
account, and plan to leave it in cold storage for a
minimum of five years before spending.
