One strategy that has worked for me is buying Bitcoin and holding it for years. Many people view Bitcoin as a get-rich-quick scheme, but in reality, it&#8217;s a powerful savings technology. Its inherent design empowers ordinary individuals to save without the fear of inflation or government interference devaluing their currency. While gold has served as a store of value for centuries, it has limitations like lack of portability and divisibility. Bitcoin addresses these issues and is emerging as a superior alternative to gold as a store of value.

Bitcoin may look boring as there is no major price action happening. It is consolidating in 65-70K range. But, we should also look at the demand of Bitcoin ETF. Total of 12600 BTC was purchased on 4th June using Bitcoin ETF. As the demand of Bitcoin is sky rocketing, price appreciation will follow.

Bitcoin halving is finally approaching. Block halving events occur every four years or after 210,000 blocks on the Bitcoin blockchain. Initially, Bitcoin&#8217;s block reward was 50 BTC. Presently, the block reward stands at 6.25 BTC, with the next reward set to decrease to 3.125 BTC. This systematic reduction in rewards decreases the pace at which new Bitcoins are created, as the halving process is pre-programmed into Bitcoin&#8217;s underlying code. 
Historically, the halving has brought a big bull run in Bitcoin history. In last cycle, Bitcoin had halving on May 2020 and the price was 8602 $. It reached 56 705 $ after a year. I think this time is no different and there will be bull run around. Act accordingly.

I started looking into Bitcoin since 2019 and observing market since then. Here I will express my views on Bitcoin based on my prior experience. Any view should not be considered as a financial advice.
