You're right, trading and Bitcoin investment are different things but some investors misunderstand the both concepts that's why they trade with Bitcoin and see it as another form of accumulating to their portfolio. However trading is a very risky way of investment that involves short-term goals while Bitcoin investment deals with longitivity, you'll have to invest over time and periodically to become a successful Bitcoin investor.
Each investor's investment time frame is different, and you will even find that they set different goals for their investment.
Some investors are those who expect returns from their investments in the short term, while others expect returns from their investments in the long term. You'll also find them just taking advantage of bullish seasons, while others continue to accumulate for years.
I can also say that some investors are those who have chosen bitcoin as a store of value asset, long-term investment, retirement investment or something like that. They don't care about short-term volatility and continue to build their portfolios over time, so these different goals will make them act differently.
Yea, you are very much correct on this and I also share the same sentiment as you bro, because everyone don't sees things the same way, almost everyone do things base on his or her own level of knowledge, understanding and patience level, because as and investors that we are now, it's very easy for us to buy Bitcoin and hold for a very long period of time without tempering with it,
than someone that has been a trader for long, because I know for a fact that traders don't have that level of patience to wait and hold Bitcoin for a very long period of time without trading it for minimal gains,
so you are very much correct when you said that the investment goals of most people is what spurs them to act according to what the believe in.
See let's just be honest, only very few investors are willing to HODL their assets for a long term but majority of investors are just interested in the short term volatility of Bitcoin whereby they buy Bitcoin and when the price skyrocket they sell and wait for it to fall again in order for them to rebuy again but it's very bad for someone who has accumulated a certain amount of Bitcoins to consider selling them off just because of little profits they made from it. Bitcoin is supposed to be a store of value and not traded for short period of time. Traders can never be patient to allow their investments to mature because they are always focused at the price of Bitcoin at every interval of time and they feel such strategy will continue to work for them since they believe that even if the price falls it still get back to normal.
