Hey 
I once came across a time when I was unsure where the market is going to take us , thus I brought at a very high price , unfortunately the price came down as quickly as it climbed up.
The reason I believe I haven't lost even a single penny is because I believe you cannot loose when you don't encash.
Therefore I still believe holding for the long term can actually help you .

It's called deemed profit or deemed loss. The same thing applies in real world stock market as well. Once you bought in a some equities, your deemed profit or loss depends of that equities' market price. Same happens with bitcoin or similar instruments as well. What's the bottomline of your statement??
