In bitcoin investment there is nothing like "Instant rich" we must exercise that patient to wait for the maturity date or even having to wait at least 1 year to 4 years time before we could see something very pleasant with out investment.
That is to say after investment we go for more knowledge as we need a sufficient knowledge to know how to manage/guide our investment otherwise we might ends up wasting it when then time is not yet due. Though investment like bitcoin (especially cryptocurrency investment) requires more educational material on the security aspect of our investment to enable us be able hold long time.
1-4 years does not seem like a long time, especially when it comes to something like bitcoin.. 1-4 years seems like someone who is looking for the next peak to be able to cash out some or all of his holdings.
But hey.. do what you like... and there surely are some people who might be concerned about their ability to invest for 4-10 years or longer, and so sure they could still invest, but I would imagine that their position size is going to be smaller if they are investing in shorter timeframes, such as 4 years or less.
I understood the fact that holding for 1-4years is periodically a short periods but then my post was derived from someone I quoted above otherwise I won't encourage anyone to invest in short time, however it's basically on choice based options for someone to have choice a suitable plans for himself in terms of investment. Even though 1 year to 4 years is not sufficiently enough to hold bitcoin but at least those who are eager to cash out within short time frame if they can't endure for 4 years to 10 years as you may say and of course not everyone one that would be willing to hold for that period especially when the market always look so catchy those with time frame can be either tempted to cash out without even having to endure that proposed plans to hold for 10 years to come.
But that can't be emphasized or being justified because of the plans to hold for either years while they had in mind to have sold when the price seems to have given them 10x or even 50x as they planned with their investment and can be likely being triggered to take profits within the period of 1 year to 4 years than everly waiting for over 4 years to 10 years to come. I can also keep in mind that some people do have long time projection to hold for decades maybe some of them would think of holding it for 20 years or as means of wealth transfer to the next generation which they can hold as long as bitcoin continues to be in existence then what do we know what the price could after some decades. I can also have in mind that there are people who trade and scalp over the day / week and month as it may be these sets of people can't be seen to hold for long why because they are basically wanting to double there money.
