Yeah, Long term investing in Bitcoin is about patience and portfolio growth and not short-term gains. Selling every time the price spikes turns an investor into a trader and that thinking is difficult to reach your accumulation goals. The true benefits of Bitcoin arise from holding on for several years, to let the compounding effect of price growth work in your favour. Staying disciplined, not being bothered by short terms and focusing on building your portfolio piece by piece is what separates long term investors from those who chase quick profits. Your approach of waiting until you have your target accumulation is the exact way that sustainable gains are made.

I agree with you that investing in Bitcoin requires patience and a strong mentality. Because long-term investment in Bitcoin is not a short journey. Therefore, we must be able to align our intentions and goals more clearly. Investing in Bitcoin isn't just about making a profit; there are far more beneficial benefits than that. In my opinion, one of Bitcoin's most valuable benefits is protecting our assets from inflation. I believe this is far more beneficial than simply seeking profit. Besides gold, I believe Bitcoin is a truly powerful asset that retains value. With this in mind, we must be able to align our investment intentions with the right ones. I'm sure we're investing in Bitcoin for the sake of improving our future lives. So, the bottom line is that we must remember this and avoid being tempted by short-term gains.

In reality, the purpose of investing in Bitcoin is to make a profit and the point you have raised is very important. You said that investing in Bitcoin should also be aimed at protecting against inflation. In fact, inflation means that the price of the currency we have decreases, but if we buy Bitcoin with our accumulated income, then there will be no inflation in Bitcoin and the price of Bitcoin will increase over time, then ultimately we will make a profit. Whether we buy Bitcoin to make a profit or buy Bitcoin to protect against inflation, we will basically make a profit if we hold it for a long time.

You have compared Bitcoin with gold, in fact, the rate of increase in the price of Bitcoin is much higher than that of gold. Although the supply of gold is relatively low, it is not completely fixed. But the supply of Bitcoin will not exceed 21 million, as a result of which the demand for Bitcoin is relatively increasing day by day. If we look at charts, we can see that the price of Bitcoin has increased significantly compared to gold since 2017, and in 2021 it increased significantly. After that, the price decreased slightly, but now the valuation of Bitcoin has increased several times compared to gold.

In addition, if we look at the annual return and total return of Bitcoin compared to gold, as well as the average annualized return, there has been a significant increase. In terms of total return, Bitcoin investors have made about 900% more profit than gold over a period of more than 5 years, and those who have invested in Bitcoin for the last 10 years have made about 40,000% return compared to gold.
