But I think holding it for 5–10 years will actually be profitable.
Yes this is long term saving and it will help because bitcoin would have increased more in 5 to 10 years. But it would be good if the coins (I mean bitcoin) can be saved or hold throughout someone's entirely life and let his children still inherit it because bitcoin is an asset of value, its price will continue to increase undoubtedly.
that only works if your kids are alive.
My kids are all dead.
Still the fact is holding BTC for 6 or more years has always turned a profit.
Not many items can claim this.
So I would say buy and hodl some . even if you are alone in life because in ten years or so you will likely have more than you began with.
