I still see that we seem to be saying slightly different things, and yeah there are ways that guys can lose money on volatility and also by trading, yet also bitcoin is not guaranteed to continue to go up, even though many of us (including yours truly) invest in bitcoin and stay invested in bitcoin because I continue to believe that bitcoin remains amongst the best (if not the best) investment available to normal people, everyone and anyone.. while at the same time, even though I have a lot of confidence in bitcoin's ongoing upward trend, BTC's price is not guaranteed to continue to go up.
Yeah, maybe in the end, I am not really saying anything much different from you and merely quibbling about semantics
Exactly that's a nice point sir JJG, the way you always speak with rationality is really nice. Without adding any sweet talk , that's why this forum is the best place to learn about Bitcoin because of users such as yourself. Because most newbies have been leaded in investing in some project due to sweet-talk by some individuals in some social medias and at the end those that where persuaded normally endup regretting.
But despite is Bitcoin, and we all know that is one of the best investment due to its previous outstanding performance in the past years, but still you always speak with rationality about it which is truly nice. Because is the fact know of us here can tell if Bitcoin will continue to go up , because there's not guarantees just as you said . But still I believe Bitcoin is still going to do what it does to most to put smile on the faces of those whom invested in it.
