Your efforts at describing investors and traders as having the same and/or similar goals likely brings more confusion than clarity, and it sounds like a description from a trader trying to proclaim that he is an investor, and yeah, sure, there is some truth in the matter, but it is confusing to want to gravitate towards trading and to be suggesting that trading is a good idea, especially in something like bitcoin that is amongst the best of investments available, and there are so many ways that a trader will end up fucking up an otherwise good investment by trying to profitably trade it.
Thanks for your review JJG - I know I'm bad at this, but that's how I describe it even though I'm not really a trader. I have been investing since I was on this forum and so far I am very proud of my decision to hold even though on the one hand this decision has really tested my mentality and psychology.
On the other hand, I am just trying to explain that some traders also succeed in building their investment portfolio because they regularly buy bitcoin from their trading profits. I'm sure in this case the trader would not mess up their investments just for trading - meaning they have separate budgets between investing and trading. I can guess that you would never agree with this kind of approach - but there are plenty of ways for anyone if they want to build their portfolio.
I am not going to go through such a wasteful time, even though surely guys are true to choose if they want to try to trade (gamble) their bitcoin, rather than buying regularly and building their portfolio for 4-10 years or longer, and then likely having more options down the road due to such ongoing building of their BTC stash through various accumulation techniques that focus on buying bitcoin, such as DCA, lump sum and buying on dips kinds of ongoing, persistent, consistent and perhaps even aggressive buying.
I can totally understand what you are explaining JJG - but however we can never force anyone to take the same approach as we intended. They clearly have their own choices and strategic approaches regardless of whether it is profitable or will only end in vain. If it were me - I would still choose to invest with the DCA approach as I have done so far.
