From the instance you gave I think i agree with you.
I have been trading Bitcoin for years now and I must say I have not made my desired profit, seeing this your write up has made me think of how successful I would have been if I was only investing on Bitcoin than trading it.
Trading of Bitcoin is in two ways which are winning and losing, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
If I had invested on Bitcoin for this good number of years I have been trading it I would have had good percent of Bitcoin.
However I'm not saying those that trade Bitcoin are not making it big but investing on Bitcoin will help you have a future investment but trading it will not give you a future investment.
For sure, we cannot necessarily know in advance in regard to which courses of action are going to pay off better, and surely over the years, bitcoin has been a kind of asset that has been valuable to accumulate, so those who have errored on the side of mostly accumulating bitcoin have done better than those who might have been focused on either accumulating dollars are maybe not very clear in regards to the value of accumulating and holding bitcoin, which likely is going to continue to be true... even though also we know that past performance does not guarantee future performance, even though bitcoins investment thesis seems to continue to get stronger.
