In that case, you are in a dilemma as to what brings you more profit - investing the Bitcoin you earn or just holding? Let's take an example if you invested in Bitcoin about 1 year ago when the price was just above $15 000 and if you didn't do anything with that BTC from then until today, you would have more than 100% profit in a very short period of time.

The question arises whether you could have earned more in that period if you had invested the same BTC in your business? Of course, the price of Bitcoin is volatile, but it still somewhat follows a four-year cycle, and those who invested following that pattern were already able to profit very nicely, and if they are patient, they could profit much more.

If we were to go back even further into the past, those who invested in BTC before the great bull run of 2017, and sold during the next bull run, certainly earned as much money as they would not have earned in their entire lives, unless they were among those rare people who they have revolutionary ideas and know how to monetize them.

Yeah, it's definitely not an easy decision for me, due to my experience during the previous years. Your idea is both ways, but would want to look it from a fiat generating business perspective. If I had a fiat generating business and invested in bitcoin with those fiat it's a different kind of move compared to when the business generates the bitcoin and when I don't touch the money generated for 1 year, the business won't run anymore, as an example. During those periods of risks I will generate more running the business, compared to what the specific hodled bitcoin will give me in return. Lets say things are bring sorted out like my bills during those period and I have no reason to touch the hodled bitcoin. I'd have more money to show than running the business. Since during the 1 year of running the business it eats up the money too. If you grasp this illustration, you'd see the difference; running the business generates more money, but leaves little money to show, but holding the bitcoin for 1 year would leave me with enough money to show. This entails that the bitcoin doesn't require any more expense for it to grow. While the business requires steady expenses for it to stay relevant. Hence, it's a typical way of saying that the money spent is used in purchasing customers. Because the more the business is functional and maintained, customers increases. Money increases too, but decrease faster, due to maintenance. Then, in terms of the bitcoin profits the higher the hodled bitcoin the bigger the reward in the bull run. That's why I mentioned about the thoughts of seeing how much our long spent bitcoin had become today. If the fiat business was there to supplement, then the profits in bitcoin would have been enormous.
