We can't judge investment on the basis of profit and loss. Investment for me is like a savings, from which there is a possibility of profit or loss as I invest and finally you are able to save huge amount of bitcoins.
What would you use to rate your business annual success? Is it not the profit you have made?, so why say that investment will not be judged by profit, so actually in our Bitcoin investment profit is what explains our investment success but however the success we are talking about is not the one of short term but on the contrary I'm referring to the future profit. yes I also treat my investment as a kind of savings were I need to be investing money on my chosen time but still profit is what I will use to measure my success in the future because profit and loss are the only two elements that can interpret the ending results.
If a new investor is committed with his bitcoin investment and continue buying with DCA every week being persistent and consistent, while sometimes he lump sum to increase his bitcoin size faster for 10 years and above, he is likely going to be in profit because the price of bitcoin increases in value overtime since he started buying when the price was down during his accumulation journey and on different price intervals lower than the price at the end of 10 years. The reason is that bitcoin is still in transition state and the odd of the price moving uptrend I a higher than downtrend.
However, new investors should be bothered or concerned about the profits when they just started accumulating bitcoin so that they don't get distracted or think of taking little profit due to temptation, but should stay focused on how to keep their bitcoin investment ongoing and how to tweak with their different accumulation methods based on their own current circumstance playing out at that moment in their lives so that they can reach their bitcoin target. Don't forget that the size of your bitcoin portfolio and how long that you have hodli is what will determine your profit in the long run.
