People who argue that investing is less profitable are either traders or people who don't know the potential of Bitcoin and also what long term investment is all about.
Just imagine people who invested in Bitcoin 2014, 2015 and has a good fraction of Bitcoin in their portfolio do you know how rich they are now and then compare to people who have been trading it since then and making profit and losing iteven though i will not support trading over investing in bitcoin and HODLing for long, but i will not deny the fact that investing early in bitcoin does not guarantee success. most time we believe that those who bought bitcoin way back during earlier days of bitcoin are super rich but we forgot so soon that there could be many who even sold their bitcoin even when bitcoin was lesser in value compared to todays price, some sold at $10-$20-$50 or $100 respectably when the fraction they have was not even enough to lay their hands on a tangible thing because it was not worth affording a big asset. the people that made fortune as at then can not be compared to the people that bought large quantity since then and hodl till now. so i always find it difficult to believe in the statement that says "
people who bought bitcoin early are rich" because certainly not all are rich, because most of them are still regretting till today even after they might have sold their bitcoin and bought bitcoin along the line when the price is high, they still find it hard to believe that they sold large number of their bitcoin at cheap rate then, and now buy lesser number of bitcoin with huge amount.
This is more of the reasons why we are emphasizing on holding for a very long period of time because the way Bitcoin is being structured, it's more beneficial to hold for a long timeframe than in a shorter timeframe.
In as much as it looks very costly now in the eye of traders, we that are Investors that are only looking at the bigger picture in like 10 to 20 years time from now knows that Bitcoin is still very cheap compared to how far it might have gone then, so it's just a matter of our view of it, you can still be filthy rich by investing in Bitcoin if you can accumulate a very huge stash of it now and hold for like five circles or more, it's more of how much timeframe you can afford to hold it, that's what's going to determine how successful your Bitcoin investment might be in the future.
