I may not totally agree with the part of everyone who start investment having the mindset of long term holding , but for the sake of this thread many has know that long term holding and using the DCA is the actual formula to achieve the real value of their investment in Bitcoin,
The actual mindset of any investor is either to invest for a short or a long term profit. I don't see any problem if everyone who start investment is thinking of long term HODLing. Though longer term investment may not guarantee a greater return but the is a higher possibility due to volatility of bitcoin, that is why people emphasis more on a long term duration.
because some newbie or new investor has the feeling that as the invested on BTC they will get the profit as fast as possible,
Those newbies are those who doesn't know about bitcoin properly. They dive into investment with the motive of making money overnight with bitcoin and later got disappointed due to the mute or slow growth of bitcoin and switch to shitcoin
even some still see investment for Long term holding as trading where they will quickly take their profit but true this regular discussion and answering many people question has solved allot of misconception of Long term investment.
Investing or HODling for long term is never a trading or gambling strategy, it's only a person that is not granded or well knowledgeable about bitcoin and investment that will call an investor a trader.
