If you  invest in bitcoin with the motive of selling it when the price get to a sating level it then mean you are a semi trader, and you are the gambling at the same time, you are not an investor, because a real investor we keep accumulating bitcoin and  hold unto it for long period of time, 5 to 10 years or more depending on your target, because every investors must not have the same target and the same mindset when it comes to bitcoin investment.
If you buy bitcoin and decide to hold for 1 to 2 circle do you also consider such person as a semi trader? Because holding for that long period might be for different purpose but making profit is always part of that reason, for that 5 to 10 years period a holder can actually have a speculated price in mind where he picture bitcoin to be at that point in time even if it don’t get their or get above that expected price, holding for long does not restrict the investor from having a selling price target.
It is best to hold Bitcoin for as long as possible before selling it especially when you hold large amount.
It is only the small holders that would be anticipating on selling part of their Bitcoin especially when the price of Bitcoin has increased to a certain point. Those who understand what it means by holding will not even bother about selling to make little profits and buying buying back when price goes down. Holding Bitcoin is always profitable in a long run and it's good when you hold for at least two circle so the price might have gone high above the level you bought.
So what you are trying to say is that those investors who are holding a small amount of bitcoin in their portfolio shouldn't hold their bitcoin for a long term just because their bitcoin is not a large amount, and you see them as investors who will sell their bitcoin for short-term profit if bitcoin gets to a certain level. But I want you to understand that both the big and small investors can hold their bitcoin portfolio for as long as they want, provided they plan on investing in bitcoin for long-term purposes. The only difference between the big investors and small investors is that their profit will differ by the time they decide to sell their bitcoin.
Yep, that's absolutely righ!!!
It's not up to amount its about time period that how long someone can hold their Bitcoin. It doesn't matter if you have a small amount of Bitcion or a huge amount of assets. You can hold it for the long term. It is not an obligation for long-term holding that if you have a big amount of Bitcoin, then you can do long-term holding. Current small amount can give you sustainable value in the future, like 5 to 10 years later you can organize good profit margins even from the current small amount.

We have a best example of this is that those who invested earlier are in Bitcoin. I mean that 10 to 15-year-old investors, they would have generated a huge return, whether these people had a small amount or big, both of them would have organized profit. The only difference will be that those who held a big amount will book more profit margins, whereas those who held a small amount will get small profit margins. But basically both made good profit margins with HODL strategy.

Even if we go back 9 years, the guy who invested $10 per week would have invested $4,700 and accumulated 1.35342 BTC, yet the guy who would have had invested $100 per week would have invested $47k, and accumulated 13.5342.  10x more investment, ends up in 10x more BTC, and surely could end up making pretty big difference in terms of whether a guy is getting close to his target and/or if he might have had come to realize that he had been too whimpy in his BTC accumulation practices.

Some guys are able to invest more aggressively, but they choose not to, and other guys do not have the abilities to invest more aggressively, so the level of aggressiveness should be tailored to the level of discretionary income and perhaps other factors, like psychological factors of each of the persons.

Past performance does not also guarantee future results, yet if we get 10 years into the future, at that point each of us can merely look back at what we levels of BTC that we had ended up accumulating during the previous  10 years, and perhaps we might attempt to compare what we actually did to some kind of a strict DCA strategy in order to compare our personal results...

Yet, in the end, the main thing that ends up being relevant and important is to look at our actual performance and to see what we actually did rather than hypothetically about what we could have had done, and there surely should be ways in which we ended up making mistakes along the path of a 10-year long BTC accumulation journey, yet if we are still happy with our overall performance (and results) in regards to our mostly accumulating BTC through ongoing buying and erroring on the side of HODLing our coins, then it is likely that our BTC accumulation performance will come out respectable in terms of giving us more options down the road by our having had invested into bitcoin as compared with if we had not invested in bitcoin.   

Even after 10 years, we still might not have had reached our BTC accumulation goal, yet hopefully, by the time that 10 years passes many (if not most) of us will have had gotten a lot closer to reaching our BTC accumulation goals.
