Most people just abandoned Bitcoin when the price is very very low. They don't even think that the price can surge and hit $100.000 because they think that is impossible. But then when the price slowly increase and hit many new ATH, they will start pay attention to Bitcoin although they still not trying to buy and hold Bitcoin.
They don't think to use Bitcoin as their investment because they are still prefer with their current investment such as gold and others. Or they don't want to open their minds to see the other opportunity to become rich in the future.
That's why knowledge and consistency in investing in Bitcoin are important, because many people who enter Bitcoin invest by just following other people, they don't understand Bitcoin's volatility and its potential in the future - even many invest like gambling/trading. Because if they understand how to invest properly in Bitcoin, they will not be affected by the market, and will continue to regularly invest in Bitcoin at any price using their discretionary income or money they are ready to invest, and hold it even more than 1-2 cycles until they can get a decent profit from it.
Yes, there are some Bitcoiners who do not understand the difference between investment and trading/gambling or they cannot or do not want to differentiate between the two. That is why knowledge is important in Bitcoin investment. We must learn to invest in the right way, how to invest to be successful in investment? How to invest with low risk? What is the difference between investment and trading? How to be successful in long-term investment?
I think it is essential for a Bitcoiner to know the answers to these questions. You must know the good and bad sides of investment and trading. Because when you know about both, you will have the ability to determine right and wrong. Although in general we advise long-term investment for good results from Bitcoin, but there may be some people who, due to lack of proper knowledge, ignore such advice and move towards the temptation of trading.
For high returns from Bitcoin and positive results, one should focus more on Bitcoin investment. Always remember that Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme. So if you think that you will become rich in a short time by trading or gambling with Bitcoin, then you are wrong. Because you do not know about the risks of trading/gambling. The chances of losing here are very high. Only through long-term investment with the right plan will you get more chances of positive results from Bitcoin.
