For those who are interested in lump sum investments, it can be difficult to hold Bitcoin for the long term. They may sell Bitcoin for a small profit, but those who plan for the long term by doing DCA can be a strong holder. Stress free investing can certainly give the investor many advantages in holding it for the long term.
I disagree with you here. You are getting it all wrong. The strategy an investor chooses to implement in their investment does not guarantee that they will be a long-term holder or not. This means that whether they use DCA lr Lump sum the choice is theirs to make if they want to hold their investment for long term or short term. The essence of this strategy is to help people buy/accumulate Bitcoin.
You are very much right about this here, it doesn't really matter how you accumulate, which strategy is being utilized, the vital thing is to hold for a very long time, and it's not true that because you buy and accumulate Bitcoin through the lumps sum strategy means that you can't be thinking long term, investing and holding for a very long time depends on the individual involved, as long as the will is there, what's stopping that person from buying and thinking long term?
So the DCA accumulating strategy or lump sum strategy doesn't determine wether the person is going long term or not.
Then as of the aspect of an investor being afraid to invest, in my own opinion, it all depends on what was shared to him or her, and most times it's because of misinformation about Bitcoin that makes most investors to be afraid of making the move in the first place.
