Sure some traders don't know that they are traders. Some traders call themselves investors, even though they are not investors.
Exactly, you're right. I believe this is the reason why when they are into their trading practices like buying and hodli for few months or 1-3yrs, they sell when they are in profit. Hoping to buy back when the price falls. Many forum members here also are traders unknown to them, because if you ask them how to I go about investing in bitcoin, they'll say buy in the bear market and sell in the bull run. They will argue with you till infinity that they are not practicing trading, if you tell them. Instead, they'll say that they are investing. Of which investing is beyond this. A full circle for the ederly ones, and ten years above for the younger ones
Not only that, there are many traders who, when they buy Bitcoin while trading, if the price decreases a little, they introduce themselves as holders and when the price increases a little, they sell their assets again. In this situation, we can never call them investors. We cannot call them traders or investors. To be profitable from here, a Bitcoin investor must plan for the long term. Those who invest for a short period of time have a higher chance of losing. Although there is no guarantee in investing in Bitcoin, if someone holds Bitcoin for a long time, there is a higher chance of profit. But we have to remember that trading can never be compared to investment. The most important thing to be profitable from Bitcoin investment is Bitcoin accumulation. For those who will continue to hold their Bitcoin regularly over a long period of time, Bitcoin price fluctuations are not an issue.
