In the crypto assets market, many investors often seek high-quality assets that can be held for the long term. However, we need to reassess the definition of 'long-term'. A holding period of 3-4 years cannot be considered a true long-term investment; it is merely a complete bull-bear cycle. Instead of entering the market in the mid-term, why not patiently wait for the low point of the Bear Market? Why take risks halfway up the mountain?
A true long-term investment strategy should treat crypto assets as a store of value akin to gold, only considering using a small portion in cases of urgent need for funds. For this level of long-term holding, there is only one answer: focus on Bitcoin (BTC), other coins are secondary options.
Although Binance Coin (BNB), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and others have maintained a top market capitalization across multiple cycles, the issue lies not with the coins themselves but with the mentality of the investors. During significant market downturns, many people have lost confidence in coins like ETH and have cut their losses, reflecting the fragility of investor consensus.
Bitcoin is different from other crypto assets. Although some criticize its high price and slow growth, almost no one truly denies its value. Bitcoin has no fatal flaws; its only 'disadvantage' is its expensive price - but this is precisely its advantage: it is an asset anchor point prepared for investors who can withstand market fluctuations.
Ultimately, if you have a short-term investment mindset and consider 3-4 years to be 'long-term', then now may not be a good time to enter any Crypto Assets. However, if you truly wish to find a stable asset that can weather market cycles, Bitcoin is the best choice.
If you can persist in holding Bitcoin, the profits will naturally follow. If you can't hold Bitcoin for the long term, other Crypto Assets may only give you more reasons to cut your losses.
When choosing which coin to invest in, it is more important to understand whether your perception of 'long-term' is rooted in desire or patience. The significance of this far outweighs the choice of coin itself.
