Can I continue investing in Bitcoin?
The decision to continue investing depends on your investor profile, your goals, and your risk tolerance. Here are some reasons to consider continuing to invest, even with this instability:
✅ 1. Long-term appreciation potential
Despite occasional drops, Bitcoin has shown a long-term appreciation trend over the years. Those who held the currency for several years generally obtained good returns.
Example:
Those who bought 1 BTC in 2016 for around R$ 2.500 saw the asset exceed R$ 300.000 in 2021.
✅ 2. Limited supply
Bitcoin has a maximum number of units that can exist (21 million), which creates scarcity. With demand growing over time, this scarcity can drive the price up.
✅ 3. Decentralization and security
It operates on a decentralized and extremely secure network, attracting investors looking for an alternative to traditional financial systems.
✅ 4. Growing institutional adoption
More and more companies, banks, and even governments are recognizing the value of Bitcoin. This can increase demand and provide more stability to the market in the long term.
✅ 5. Protection against inflation
In countries with high inflation (as has happened with Argentina, Venezuela, etc.), Bitcoin has been used as a store of value — like a "digital gold."
🔁 But beware: volatility continues
If you intend to invest, the ideal is:
Invest gradually ("dollar cost averaging" strategy): buy a little every month, regardless of the price.
Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Have a long-term perspective (years, not weeks).
Diversify: do not put all your money only into Bitcoin.
