You are the one that's making it look hard to you because you haven't prepared your mindset towards investing in a long-term investment. You can start with four years' timeline and invest with little amount from your discretionary income that you can do without. So that you can be consistently buying bitcoin every week/month whenever you get paid. A little beginning can turn up to something very big beyond your expectations.
You should also set up emergency funds for back up so that you don't sell your bitcoin too early before time. Emergency funds will help you take care of any emergency that arises during your bitcoin accumulation stage. If you don't set up an emergency funds, you will not be able to hodli for long.
I agree with you with all you said but you have to know that these things don't just happen like that, as it is the first time I'm doing it, I won't be as good at holding as Mr
@double_JG, it will take time for it to get used to me and starting with 4 years is a very long time and knowing that it will yield more it won't be easy to start as well. What you said about emergency fund is true and that's what has been making many who plan on holding even if it's a short term investment to always look back at their holding, you see is not easy coupled with the fact that Bitcoin sometimes do dip it causes much panic, that's when you'd know who have an emergency fund before starting the investment.
Sure.. better if you did not sell and if you were able to hold.. even if you did not accumulate more.. So surely there are differences between whimpy investors and aggressive investors, and you have to choose for yourself which one or which variant you want to be in terms of how far down the scale in one direction or another you would want to be.
We are in a public forum with various public threads, so messages might not always be directed to you instead of being directed to some ideas that might arise from your earlier posts.
I would love to be an aggressive holder but is too hard to be one, it takes a lot to be one since in just starting to hold but let's see how far the little (to you is little so let me use the word Little) I'm holding can take me. I understand what you saying but you must admit it that you're always direct and aggressive with words with you see someone talk about what he feels about the way Bitcoin price has been either going up or down, let's say for now the market price has been poor and if I say it won't dump to $99k before tomorrow you won't only kick against it but use your words to hit back like we're having issues, hope you get me.
Since you are still struggling to see how you can hodli for long, you should start by buying with little amount and continue like that till when your faith is very strong on bitcoin due to the more knowledge that you have acquired on bitcoin, you can then start buying aggressively, but don't overdo it.

I like the last thing you said "not to overdo", is easy to start but hard to control, it will look as if you're better than someone you're learning from. All these things need someone who can guide you properly if not you'd might go off the line. To me I'd prefer with how I started back in September.
