Having patient to hold for a long term is a matter of choice because it depends on the investors and traders target or goal
First of all, including an investor and trader when talking about long term is an improper fraction. They both can't miss in the same content of explanation, you can spot an investor out because they don't depend on market fluctuations, an investor is just looking towards how to magnify their portfolio and hold for as long.
I mentioned traders and investors because not only Investors are involve so you will agree with me that someone who's ready for an investment and calls himself or herself an investor will never be inpatient and so the reason why I said it is a choice is that when someone have invested and decided to sell in a short while that person is not longer an investor rather a trader.
Investors are not bothered about small market changes, the attitude of purchasing Bitcoin is different, investors don't buy under analysis, an investors also don't see it as a choice to hold, it is a confidential onset to purchase and hold Bitcoin, thoughts from initials is what controls the power of buying Bitcoin as an investor.
However, it is not impossible to have patient on something you don't understand as a matter of fact when it comes to Bitcoin investment not having patient is very unwise because even in school whatever you don't understand, is either you ask questions or you spend your time to understand what that is all about that is how people that wants to be great do, if you are so inpatient you won't learn and won't go far.
Bitcoin doesn't demand much even as a beginner, anyone purchasing Bitcoin already should be well prepared to hold. Bitcoin is the easiest form of investment, a 30-minute read on Reddit or browsing note is enough information to hail on the investor the necessity of holding Bitcoin instead of selling early.
You are making sense though but have you really check properly the meaning of choice perhaps you haven't and I will like to tell you the meaning of choice so that you will understand what are I'm saying. Okay just in a lane man understanding, choice is choosing between something good or bad. However, the choice of every investor is the long term because they feel that is the best way to go about Bitcoin and actually that is the best way to go about Bitcoin while trader's choice is the short term because they feel that is the best for them and choice can also be seen as taking preference. People don't invest because they just want to invest rather they invest because they have a choice and a reason so don't get it twisted.
