A trader's objective is to buy a coin at a low price and sell it at a high price, but for a long-term investor, the plan is not so simple. When it comes to long-term planning, investors think that they should invest in the right coin and hold that investment for a long period of time. I believe so much that those who were waiting to invest for the long term have already invested for the long term.
I would expect that the pool of long term BTC investors versus traders versus newbies is a lot more dynamic than you are making it out to be including that we are really early in our adoption level, and even some folks who already hold BTC may not realizer that they are way underinvested into bitcoin as compared with their knowledge of bitcoin or their financial situation in which they could own way more bitcoin but who had chosen to be whimpy abou their bitcoin investment.
Including that there are a lot of current no coiners who do not realize that their more proper category is that they are a pre-coiner, and even traders might realize the dumbness of their ways and convert into BTC investors, so there are always folks coming to bitcoin and leaving bitcoin, but it is more likely that more people are coming to bitcoin rather than leaving it, even though it is difficult to measure, but they are coming, little by little, and there are always a pool of new coiners who are needing to build their BTC stashes, and they are at various stages of building their BTC stashes, some with more success and aggressiveness as compared with others.
Many of us reading and participating in this thread likely come around to the ideas that we need to be as aggressive as we can in terms of accumulating bitcoin without becoming so aggressive that we end up screwing ourselves out of our own bitcoin position, so we end up needing to be careful not to allow our aggressiveness to accumulate bitcoin to devolve into gambling.
But some got that idea that they should invest less on bitcoin then scattered their invest for trading multiple alts since they see some good result for trading it for short term. But they don't realize that its case to case basis and might lose something big in their investment since bitcoin is really the best choice especially for long term. Maybe best for them to spend less on other altcoin especially if they are only investing it on those shitcoin since there's nothing good will happen with them on that tokens.
People come in bitcoin and didn't leave are the people who have experience on investment and they see something huge(potential) on bitcoin that's why they decide to stay. Those people who leave in the scene is I believe a total newbie which those people didn't get what they expect since they are just there because of the hype then think about they can be rich for short time but nothing happen to them that's why they leave without thinking about other good way to improve especially gaining more knowledge about bitcoin investment.
Nah I don't also think that need to be aggressive since doing that will cause us a big lose for our capital intended for investment that's why for me its better to do a good research first before taking decision especially if they want to invest and they need to have good preparation if they want to invest on other coin. But for bitcoin its really better for this to think about long term since we always see a positive result for doing this.
