Investing should not necessarily mean profit.
You will get some sort of return from the investment, may be dividends or may be learning. Not everyone succeeds in investing all the time, some succeed and some fail and learn from failure and move towards success.
But one should not invest in a situation where he has no source of income and is totally dependent on his investment.
You might be correct in everything that you are asserting Jewan420, yet you seem to be referring to trading rather than to investing.
Yes I mean both traders and investors. But I never support trading. I always like investing in business or investing in other companies.
maybe I should help you get some narrative right. the reason why you're talking about some people making profit and others making losses in their investment is that you're yet to understand the difference between investing and trading and maybe it's possible that you've been involved in trading to the point it has made you see buying Bitcoin as a 50/50 scenario that can either give you profit or not.
If you're holding on to your Bitcoin, losses is always not a possible factor, it's always the ability to accumulating more and having the patient to holding your accumulation that's the problem. If you've set out the right plan In place and you are able to accumulate more Bitcoin for a given period of time, you will certainly make profit. That's far different from trading that's more of a gambling adventure that eats you up and gives your an average loss at the end of your trading.
Maybe I should also correct that assumption that it's not everyone that succeed in his investment, if you have that kind of mentality, it's going to disturb your ability to managing whatever circumstances that comes your way while holding on to your bitcoin. Apart from those that might have been impatient with thier Bitcoin investments and probably sold thier holding when they should be accumulating more, it's never been unprofitable investing into Bitcoin. And always try to narrow your opinion to Bitcoin investments and not comparing it to any other form of investment that might have yielded loss in the process.
