Most people generally think of Bitcoin as an "investment for profit". Again
Many Bitcoiners see it as a savings tool – especially those in developing countries. Because it holds value for the future and is personally controllable. The total supply of Bitcoin is 21 million and it has historically held its value for the long term. This makes it relatively easy to send remittances and Bitcoin can be seen as a "digital savings account".
There are price fluctuations in the financial markets.
But I think holding it for 5–10 years will actually be profitable.
By putting aside some regular portion, just like fixed deposits used to be. It is a type of investment or opportunity to make a profit. "Buy low, sell high" is an asset that you hold for the long term, not something that you "buy when the market is up and sell when it's low".

10 year hold's are perfect

any day in

the dow Jones industrial average had this 10 year hodl streak last for more than 40 years

silver no
gold no

these are USA based numbers.

So yeah BTC is great with a 10 year hodl

one day maybe that streak ends.

it did end for the dow jones

the dow jones streak was good from say 1935 to 2008 as per google ai

"Has the stock market ever been down over a 10 year period?
There are two general periods where stocks realized a negative return over a 10-year span: one during the Great Depression in the 1930s and the other during the Great Recession in 2008.Aug 9, 2023"

This 70 year streak is the best I know of.

Personally I will be dead by the time btc is 70 years old 2079

Yes, the Japanese market did not return to its previous peak for 30 years after the 1989 crash, and the American market also took about 25 years (according to inflation) to recover from the collapse after the Great Depression of 1929.
