If actually Bitcoin is the subject matter then buying and selling within the period of one year apparently has nothing to be called anything related to investment but trading because one year is too short for your investment to experience the power of compounded value of your investment, a cycle which is four years would have been better to be described as a short term investment in my perception while four to 10 years or more can be called a long term investment.
Okay I have learned something today, atleast you have given a timeline for short and long term Bitcoin investment. Most people who target to buy during the Bitcoin halving are short-term traders, and that's a very wrong investment approach. I know people who are currently disappointed with the price of Bitcoin because they thought it would have reached $150k. But long term investors are not perturbed because they are still on profit or are not selling.
Short-term investors want to make quick profits, but due to market volatility, they often face big losses, and that is why they can never achieve good success from such trading. But on the other hand, if we look at a long-term investor, that is, those who have been investing for the last three to four years and have been holding regularly, they are certainly in a very good profit now, but even then they will not sell now, because they are very optimistic about the future prospects of Bitcoin, and they know about this prospect, so they will definitely not sell now but plan to buy more regularly. Those who are disappointed with the current Bitcoin movement, and those who will move away from Bitcoin, will regret selling at this time when Bitcoin starts pumping strongly again in the next few days, and goes beyond $150K. In fact, the results of holding Bitcoin for a long time are certainly much more valuable, but those who are more worried about short-term fluctuations they are deprived of this profit. That is why every investor should step out of the market hype and move forward steadily with a long-term perspective. Bitcoin is a long-term investment and long-term holding will definitely yield great returns.
