Short term investing is like trading, but there is risk involved in investing for a short period of time. However, having funds is the most important thing when it comes to investing. If you don't have funds, you can't invest. If you have enough funds, you can invest some amount from there. When you invest you may face loss due to volatility in the market but if you have funds at that time then you can reinvest and get profit from it. So I also think it is very important to have an emergency fund to sustain the investment and an investor has a high expectation of profit in it. But long term investment is best as compared to short term placement and profit is easy here.

I don’t think I get what you’re trying to point out with short term investment and the risk involve also owning enough money before anyone can invest using the short term strategy. Anyone can attach profit with trading but it’s never advisable an investor go into bitcoin with short term strategy which I think is not right, if anyone should brag about their short term holdings you’ll definitely know an investor holding for long run will always make better profit. Secondly timing the volatility market when trying to accumulate bitcoin is wrong basically anyone can buy at any price interval and hold for long knowing bitcoin is a valuable asset, What you need to know about bitcoin short investment choice is you can’t get the profit you want within short period rather bitcoin market is volatile which brings benefits after investing for years.. Concerning emergency funds, emergency funds is like a back up funds and it’s a must when investing for long term emergency funds is needed.

You are right, indeed anyone can make a profit from trading as long as they have good skills and knowledge about trading and choosing to invest Bitcoin in the short term is highly discouraged because the price of Bitcoin is very volatile so this will be very unlikely to be able to generate profits in the short term, but it would be great if we continue to accumulate Bitcoin assets and hold them for a long time to be able to make a profit from holding these assets and we also have to keep planning before deciding to start in order to be able to run the investment properly, as you said it is very right we have to think about emergency funds so as not to interfere with the assets that we have invested when we suddenly need the funds.

Investing in Bitcoin for short terms puts the investor in a big pressure, because the investor knows that they aren't going to invest on Bitcoin for long term and all their mindsets is just that Bitcoin should continue to go higher instead of dipping any time soon. However, short term investment isn't the good way to invest in Bitcoin because you aren't going to witness more buying opportunities.
Well, talking about trading, I see that as also a short term investment and it has the highest risks because you might lose your capital within some seconds. But when you invest on Bitcoin for long term you aren't going to lose that much money and even if Bitcoin dips and you lose some money, you only have to give it some days for it to increase again (most times it takes few hours for it to increase again) and you will gain back your money. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the DIPs is also a good opportunity that we all should use to accumulate more Bitcoin into our portfolio for the long term.

What give them pressure is the volatility since they provably would get affected on each movement of the market since what they aim is to hit big gains from their trades. But if there's sudden unexpected situation like big price fall it made them panic since they don't have any plan to hold it for many months since maybe they don't like to be a bag holder that's why usually they think about dumping to cut the losses then buy at more deeper price so they can recover. Common practice happening in trading and that's stressful.

For someone that is looking forward to accumulate a lot of bitcoin (maybe 1 BTC) and receiving $5,000 per month can't accumulate 1 BTC within one year, unless he or she is investing his/her whole monthly salary on Bitcoin (which is some how not possible for many folks).
Obviously, DCA method is the best way to accumulate Bitcoin, being paid with $5,000 per month and DCAing $1k or $1,5k per month on your Bitcoin portfolio makes it easier for you to achieve good amount of Bitcoin, but it will take more than 1 year to achieve 1BTC if you are investing with $1,500 per month with the help of DCA method. However I am just trying to say that achieving 1 BTC within some months is probably based on the amount that you are DCAing with, and if you are also DCAing every week it will also help you achieve your portfolio faster than when you are buying monthly.

Short term investment is high risk and see a lot of people fall down because they choose the hard path. If they just follow what lots of people did and they are not attracted for short term risky profit for sure those bad situations will not happen to them. They could just learn the best way to deal with bitcoin if they are open for new things on how to improve their self towards choosing the best approach on their investment with bitcoin since they could learn that long term holding and consistent accumulating is always the best for this coin.

Yeah I agree with this.
Short term investment is not guaranteed because Bitcoin is always on the fluctuating mode, which means it might not profit the short term or might. Well, long term investment is the advisable for beginner investors, let's use the easiest age of Bitcoin when it was below $100 and now it is @61k dollars and BTC also has more potentials that it is still going to be more valuable in future, and that's makes the long term investment not risky.
