I observed that the interest of this thread is built on investment that is accumulating Bitcoin with various strategies and holding for long term plans and not trading Bitcoin, perhaps anyone that understands Bitcoin as widely as possible will understand better that investing is best way we can fruitfully enjoy the benefits of Bitcoin,
Investment is the best way to get profit from Bitcoin, but not all investors will be able to get that good profit from Bitcoin, as some investors are not determined to hold for a long time; rather, they are in for short-term profit, which is not always guaranteed. Holding for at least 4 circles and above can be able to give an investor that profit which he/she desires.
The right thing to called those who are short-term holders and are looking for quick profits is "Traders", they don't qualify as investors because investment requires gestation period which these guys does not make provision for. They can buy today and sell tomorrow meaning the time factor is not in their equation instead profit is the deciding factor. Investors are those who are ready to buy and give the investment time to mature. This is usually the difference between investors and traders with the former enjoying greater peace of mind as they don't have to be worrying about price rising every now and then while the former is always glued to the chart and hoping for price to rice so they can sell.
Bitcoin is naturally volatile meaning that it can go up or come down and not necessarily or when there is a sensitive issue in the crypto world as you said above.
I agree with you on this; Bitcoin doesn't necessarily need anything to happen before the price can start dropping down, but this period it just appears that there are a lot of political plays in the system, which have been a driving factor that contributes partially to how the market moves compared to how it could have naturally reacted.
Someone said, in one of the thread I was following, that the market is behaving the way it is doing because Trump and his friends are taking their position at lower prices and that when they are done, the market will begin to pump. Even though I laughed that away, a part of me still think that there is sense in that statement because there is no justification for the way the market is behaving now order than some strong hands manipulating the market to be able to take position and take advantage of the market. The only people not cut up in what is happening in the market now are those who continue to accumulate and are not eager to sell for in due time they shall reap the reward of their patience and smart decisions.
