In fact, until now there are still many people who seem to have a slightly narrower mindset where they only want to be in bitcoin with the hope of instant wealth that they can get which in the end actually destroys their own expectations.
In addition, for now, sometimes there are also quite a few people who consider themselves investors but the actions they take actually lead to traders because their understanding is not very good so that they always overlap and equate traders and investors as the same even though it is clear that we must be able to separate it because even though the scope is the same, traders are not investors and vice versa.
Many people are now mistaken in considering themselves investors but they sometimes do not reflect an investor because they only expect profit and sell their bitcoins even though the profit is only a few percent of the amount they bought and then proudly say that they are successful investors because of that.
Yes you have stated the fact and that is just the mindset of many investors, they sometimes do what traders does but the reason why they try to exonerate themselves from traders is that they have a shallow understanding that if they can HODL for like a year before they sell that it won't be considered as trading but they forgot to know that the only way they can be fulfilled while investing in bitcoin is to hold for long at least for a whole cycle of 4 years and above, although 4 years investment can only be considered as a fairly long term investment otherwise a long term investment is supposed to take at least 2 cycles of 8 years and above.
Actually in this case I think in the end it lies in a wrong understanding where sometimes when someone who wants to become an investor has too many assumptions that in the end they are confused about how to become a good investor because they are always tempted by momentary gains which in the end they assume that selling bitcoin at a high price and buying it back after a correction in the near future will be considered an investor but in fact this is clearly different but because of the previous wrong view where profits (even if only a few percent increase in value) then they will still consider themselves investors which in fact this understanding is more In fact, this is clearly different but because of the previous wrong view where profits (even if only a few percent increase in value) then they will still consider themselves investors even though this understanding is more like a trader but they don't really mix the understanding between investors and traders which ultimately confuses themselves.
It is important to understand the real concept of investing in bitcoin and not just invest because others are investing or do what others does. investing in bitcoin requires removing trading mentality all in the name of investment because if they remove that trading mentality, they will encounter the beauty of investing than trading because most of those that will chose trading might fall out along the line due to losses and mismanagement of funds while someone who is investing have his assets intact in his custody while waiting for the appropriate time to take profits after acquiring satisfactory amount in his portfolio.
Therefore, before we start to do research on what we will invest in, we must actually understand how the concept of investment works so that in the end our understanding is not wrong. This is the basis before we start to invest and when looking for aspects to invest in such as bitcoin or other things (I will not discuss because the focus is still on bitcoin) then we just learn how bitcoin is. But sometimes today many people are misguided where they do not have any basis about investing or bitcoin but want to be in it just because of fomo and are tempted by instant profits which in the end even though the intention is to be in bitcoin right but when the initial path is wrong they become lost on their own thoughts and expectations.
