Investors are not focused on profits, and likely they presume profits, yet if they are holding an investment for 10-15 years or longer, before they start to sustainably withdraw from it, then sure, they likely are presuming that they would be in profits by the time they are starting to sustainably withdraw from their BTC stash.
Before I use to feel same way that investor focuses on profit but your reply has made me have a second thought that if Investor focuses on profit then there is no much or no difference between them and traders because traders focuses on profit whether immediate or later time. Moreover, any investor who focuses on profit will definitely derail along the line because sometimes the market can not give them what they expect. Yes the main aim of every Bitcoin investor is to make profit but not to focus on it but rather invest regardless and hoping for a better tomorrow.
And, so if they are withdrawing from their bitcoin stash at a rate of 4% per year or 10% per year or some variation of that, they are likely just using their bitcoin as a form of side income, and the value of their bitcoin stash may well be gaining in value faster than their withdrawal rate, which it part of the reason that their withdrawal systems woudl be considered as being "sustainable" and perhaps able to perform perpetually, whether they are living 20 years longer, 50 years longer or some other period of time that they are withdrawing from the bitcoin at their calculated sustainable rate of withdrawal.
You are right, it is absolutely a side income hustle and it is somehow a nice strategy but come to think of it, the 4% those investors are withdrawing per annum, what are exactly are they using it for? Because it is better to be investing and holding than to invest and be taking some cent out as fiat, anyways 4% is somehow okay but 10% is kinda big to be removing per year as an investor that haven't gotten to an overaccumulation stage.
Many of us recognize and appreciate bitcoin as amongst the best of investments currently available (if not the best investment currently available).
Yea, so far I think Bitcoin is the best investment as it stance and we can see how countries, institutions, Government etc are investing into Bitcoin because of the potential they see in Bitcoin in years coming.
