Holding Bitcoin: A profitable affair 88.5% of the days
Of the 4,593 days of Bitcoin’s existence as a tradable asset, BTC hodlers experienced 4,065 profitable days — challenging the historical narrative of depreciating volatility in crypto. As a result, holding Bitcoin (BTC) is provably profitable in the long run.
The historical price performance of Bitcoin confirms the notion that a hard limit on total supply combined with seamless global usability is key to becoming a store of value. Data from Blockchain.com shows that Bitcoiners enjoyed 88.50% of profitable days relative to the current market price at the time of writing.
As shown above, just 531 or 11.56% of the 4,593 days were unprofitable for long-term holders. The unprofitable days are between Dec. 28, 2022, and June 12, 2022, a timeline when Bitcoin was priced above the $26,246.58 and $28,344.5 range.
The revelation highlights the importance of understanding the market cycles of Bitcoin and why investors should avoid buying the tops and selling the dips. However, some traders prefer making daily trades on crypto exchanges for much smaller but consistent profits.

As mentioned, there are four main categories of mindsets of crypto bag holders: maximalists, hodlers, fomoers and traders. Read more to find out which one you are.
