The longer the investment is held for, the greater the potential for profit from that investment. The point you are making is that investing in Bitcoin when it was worth fifteen thousand dollars and selling the investment at the present time would have made an investor a lot of money. Let's say you bought a bitcoin at $15,000 and you haven't sold your bitcoin yet, where the current price of bitcoin is $45,000. Instead of selling Bitcoin at $45,000, you plan to hold your investment for a longer period of time.
After holding for two more years, you see that the price of Bitcoin has touched one hundred thousand dollars, so which one is more profitable, investing for two years or investing for four years or more? Of course, holding the investment for four years or more will give you higher returns and if you hold your investment for a longer period, the profit potential may be higher, so plan for a longer period of time when holding your investment.

Sometimes they don't equate investment duration of bitcoin to the profits because you might purchase bitcoin when the price is high and keep it for long duration and instead of the value to increase for you to make a profit then the value depreciate, we all know that long-term investment gives a profit but it can only gives you a profit when the price of bitcoin increases, that is reason why we don't need to be curious for bitcoin investment knowing that the investment is all about risk neither you make profit or you lose.

One of the major concerns for bitcoin investment a investor have to have in mind is to make sure that the investment it have a timer for any of the investment, because if we use what happens previously to explain bitcoin investment may people might be biase or discouraged for the investment...bitcoin investment is something you can invest now and within some period of time you make profit that is why its not necessarily mean that what will fetch you more profit is the longer your investment stays, sometimes we do experience long periods of bearish and it can be one year or two years and if you purchase at high course and the value depreciate due to long bearish you might sell out your bitcoin under panic

So what is very necessary for bitcoin investment is timing and duration you want your investment to stay and secondly having in mind that bitcoin investment is depends on risk because you may be profited for the investment or either you lose, but people taught that the longer you allow your investment the more you make profit, such scenario can come to accomplish when you purchase bitcoin very low prices and throughout the years it stays the price continue to add more values, so getting profit for your long-term investment depends on monthly and yearly positivity of the marketcap of bitcoin.

I guess you are misunderstanding the point that @Patrol69 is saying. We all know that bitcoin investment is better held for a very long time no matter what price bitcoin was when you bought your first bitcoin. People that bought bitcoin at the last ATH for instance if they continue to accumulate more bitcoin through out the bearish period with DCA method, since they will be buying at different level of price, this will balance the average price of bitcoin and if they can hold for up to two circles, the profit will be great. Also any investor that bought bitcoin during the last ATH when it was 65k, if he didn't sell till the next bull run when bitcoin price will reach a new ATH, as long as the price of bitcoin start getting up to 67k.he has started seeing profit. The reason is that the compound profit of bitcoin is what gives it that potential to make more profit, the longer you hodli because, the probability of bitcoin price to go up over time is higher down it going down.

This is why you see that long term investment is the bump when you have invested in bitcoin. However anyone that can buy at the dip is more lucky to make bigger profit than the investor who bought during the bull run because you will have bought cheaper and the time that bitcoin price will take to reach the bull run is a lot of advantage for him. This is why you see that they always say Buy Dip and Hodli. But is you miss the dip, then it is better to get started at anytime and use DCA techniques to grow your investment and you can also keep extra funds to prepare for the dip to so that you don't miss out. Imagine that you bought bitcoin now at this price 44k+,and you were able to hold it for 24yrs and have reached your bitcoin target within this period of time. Maybe bitcoin price might be $5m then.
