We will not always be holders for life with the intention that at a certain time we will also spend Bitcoin.
Of course, unless you lose all access to your wallet.
Each investor has set their own goals from the start, but some may still change their time frame midway due to various reasons. Long-term potential and strong fundamentals may make some investors change their initial plans and wait a little longer, but the ultimate goal of investing is to realize returns.
Since you have mentioned access to wallets, I would like to add that that is the first part after they learn about Bitcoin and the purpose of investing in Bitcoin. People often look for convenience and don't want complexity in investing. By complicated, I mean they want to be practical when buying and tend to leave it stored on the exchange where they bought because if they move it to a special wallet, then they have to pay another fee.
This practice is wrong and puts them at great risk to their Bitcoin holdings.
Want a long-term investment that is safe against loss, of course the Bitcoin storage wallet is not on an exchange. This has been repeatedly conveyed by many people who care about asset integrity.
