If investors are affected by some general changes in the market, they will not be able to hold their investments for long. Holding investment is not easy at all, maybe when a new investor is involved in investing they think that investment is very easy and they can definitely hold their investment for a long time. But the problem here is that after investing, that investor may face many financial problems or may need a lot of money, but investors may think that since they have invested some amount of money, they should sell that amount of investment to meet their needs. Even from such an idea, many people cannot maintain the continuity of their investment for a long time. But if an investor makes a proper plan before investing and is able to do everything according to plan then it is possible for him to hold his investment for a long time.
Buddy though we all say is not easy to hodl for a long-term yea but that's mainly because people fail to plan, Bitcoin investment and holding is also easy but that depends on individual, as an investor that understands that Bitcoin investment is a long-term stuff there should be back up funds and discretionary income too, these are plans that will make you as investor to keep buying and forgetting for a long-term, problems must occur that's why an investor should be prepared for it, after all DCA method has made it easy for people to keep buying with what they can afford, sustain continuously and keep hodling for a long-term.
As a good strategist when embracing or embarking on investment, there are things you must consider, first and foremost you must be prepared to face any abstacle along the line hence you understand the investment itself, anyone that considers tampering his portfolio or investment at any point should be seen as a short-term investor or someone that fail to do the needful by preparing for what he sees as a problem.
No matter the financial mess you are into, I don't think withdrawing your asset is the best option, Bitcoin has a maturity stage which also depends on whether the investor has accumulated Bitcoin to the level of his satisfaction, the number of years should be from the minimum of 10 years upwards so an individual using problems as excuse to withdraw was never prepared or never planned to hodl for a long-term, as bitcoiners we should have fund set aside for daily needs an other unexpected problems which is likely to occurs in other to avoid tampering our investment which is not suppose to be an option in the first place
