From 2009 to now, Bitcoin has delivered positive returns in every single 4-year holding cycle. Every single one. No matter which 'peak' you bought at, as long as you held for 4 years, there hasn’t been a single instance of loss so far. Why? A fixed supply of 21 million + global adoption still growing. Supply is locked, demand is rising, and the long-term price has only one direction. But note—this is the nature of 'holding,' not 'trading.' The moment you start buying high, selling low, leveraging, or chasing pumps and dumps, this 4-year positive return statistic no longer applies to you. Because your holding cycle gets interrupted by your own actions. The simplest strategy is often the hardest to execute: Buy and don’t touch it, wait 4 years.
