I think there is something we seems not to understand about investment when it comes to bitcoin or cryptocurrency investment. You can decide to invest for long term while Mr B plans to invest for short term, what matters here is choices the ability to accept the risk associated with the investment that is why people choose the time that is best suitable for them.
I can decide to hold for 8 years which is after 2 circle and I sell off, while others may decide to hold for 4 years and sells off, the thing here is that if they reached their target and the profit they wished on. Yes, before they sold they were also on profits and aren't sold on a lose instead on a profit.
How the media translates the news is different from the way the news is actually. Everyone saw the news that Germany has sold their bitcoin holdings, before that news, I also did not know that Germany of all nations had some bitcoins in their holdings as an asset. The media made it known to us like they’re selling away their holdings and they are naive of what bitcoin can do for them if they continue to hold. Now you’ve explained further that the bitcoin was sold on a profit and not on loss as many of us may have imagined. Knowing when to buy and when to sell in the bitcoin market is necessary and whenever you buy low and sell high at a better price, irrespective of how long you’ve hold those bitcoin, you’re still on the right path and you’ll be called a profitable investor.
