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.
Yes, those who made short-term investments are panicking now. Because their goal was to sell at $150k plus, but currently the price of Bitcoin is $87k. You will see many people who bought $100k and wanted to sell at the highest price during the bull run, but their plans backfired. So short term investment is always risky, you will face loss instead of profit if you invest in short term.
Those who have long-term plans, are able to hold on in any situation. Currently the market is very volatile, but those with long-term plans still prefer to buy the DCA method. Long-term investors plan to continue holding for 8-10 years or more.
