Between December 2015 and December 2017, Bitcoin rallied from $300 to almost $20,000 in roughly 2 years.
Who made money?
- The dumb money that was lucky to buy cheap and hodled in a bull market when hodling works. During that period, if you bought bitcoin and held for 6 months you always came out ahead. This group gave back most of their gains in 2018-2020 when they tried to hodl during a bear market.
- The short term professional traders made most of the money and kept it.
Who lost money?
- Even in a big bull market, most people lose money. So, dumb money that bought at local tops and got washed out in pullbacks. This accounts for the vast majority of losers.
- Amateur short term traders also lost big-time by trading in and out of coins.
How is this information important to you??
- If you are not a professional trader (which most of you aren't), buying and holding crypto for at least 6 months will serve you well. We are in another bull market.
