No one can ignore the potential of holding Bitcoin, but holding is very difficult for everyone. Because not everyone has the patience to hold for a long time. I have taken the challenge of holding Bitcoin many times but could not implement it. I sold Bitcoin for an emergency or out of fear.
But today I suddenly got a surprise. I started looking for my old Bitcoin wallets on a whim. And I started searching for all my old wallets in my 12 Gmail Google Drive. I found a wallet where I had 0.01 Bitcoin in 2016 but I didn't care because it was a very small amount and later forgot about it.
Today, as soon as I accessed that wallet, I saw the balance of $1050+. I was completely surprised and stared at it for a while. I can't explain how happy I am. I have been holding 0.01 Bitcoin for almost 9 years without knowing it. That's how powerful Bitcoin is. Holding is always profitable in Bitcoin
This is the reason storing of our Wallet seedphrase in a safe location is very important and without it, I doubt if you will be able to recover your old wallet account where your BTC asset was been hold.
I can say your experience in holding Bitcoin over the years has been very productive and profitable as Bitcoin has the best monetary growth among all assets in the world. It's obvious you never plan to Hodl it much longer but the result you got from holding Bitcoin much longer for a period of 9 years exceed your expectations and as such, you might want to Hold it for another 10years or more and I bet the result will be very rewarding as the value of Bitcoin is moving and will certainly climb to $1m.overtime.
In own experience in Bitcoin,I believe no amount is too small to begin with buying bitcoin,from your little earning and after sorting out your basic needs,you can start accumulating Bitcoin using your discretional income while apply DCA and I am certain,the result in holding for a long term is always rewarding and profitable.
