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.
I read through the post and I did not see anywhere force was mentioned rather the discussion here are mainly suggestions of what is best on the long run. What we are all focusing on is how to own Bitcoin and make the best of it. That being said, I'm totally supporting not trading off your precious Bitcoin for quick profits because there are chances that such profits may never come back into Bitcoin. I have seen a case of someone liquidating his Bitcoin assets and subconsciously changing lifestyle to suit his new status of being rich...buying expensive designers and living lavishly until the money got depleted and he came back to his senses. Not everyone is like this but there is definitely the temptation to spend money that is readily available and accessible on things you would never buy if the money were tied to an investment.
If I may ask, between those who bought Bitcoin around 2013/2014 and held till date and those who have been buying and selling between the market cycles, who do you think have more Bitcoin today? I will leave you to ponder on that, perhaps that will help you understand why long term HODL is the best way to go.
