Successful cases of Bitcoin investment usually have the following key characteristics:

• Early intervention: In the early days when Bitcoin prices were extremely low, such as around 2010, a Bitcoin may be less than $1. Those who start investing at this stage enjoy huge room for price growth. For example, Laslow Hanyez bought two pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins in 2010, when each bitcoin was only worth $0.0025, and today the value of these 10,000 bitcoins is over $1 billion. Early investors were able to accumulate a large amount of Bitcoin at low cost, laying a solid foundation for later wealth growth.

• In-depth research and understanding: Successful investors usually have in-depth research on the technical principles and development prospects of Bitcoin. They understand the decentralized, immutable and other characteristics of the blockchain technology behind Bitcoin, as well as the potential application and transformational power of these characteristics in the financial field and even in the wider industry. This understanding allows them to firmly believe in Bitcoin and not be shaken by external doubts and short-term market volatility.

• Long-term holding belief: The Bitcoin market fluctuates greatly, and the price sometimes soars and sometimes plummets. But successful investors firmly believe that the long-term value of Bitcoin is not swayed by short-term price fluctuations. They are not in a hurry to short-term arbitrage, but choose to hold for a long time. For example, the price of Bitcoin fell from $20,000 to $3,000 in 2017-2018, and many investors who insisted on long-term holdings eventually achieved generous returns in the subsequent bull market.

• Risk tolerance and reasonable allocation: Although Bitcoin’s investment return potential is huge, it is also accompanied by high risks. Successful investors usually have a certain risk tolerance and will reasonably allocate Bitcoin investment as part of their portfolio instead of investing all their wealth in it. This way, even if there is a large fluctuation in the Bitcoin market, it will not cause a devastating blow to their overall financial situation.

• Sharp market insight: Being able to discover the potential of Bitcoin among many investment opportunities, when Bitcoin was not well-known and recognized by the public in the early days, it keenly captured the investment value and development trends behind it. For example, some investors judge that Bitcoin may have wider applications and higher value in the future by analyzing the macroeconomic situation, financial market trends and the development characteristics of Bitcoin itself.
