Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL!

Bitcoin investment or trading, of course both have their own risks, but I'm sure most people will agree that trading is much riskier than investing. So it's very clear that investment is the best way to minimize risk if you buy bitcoin. Therefore, it is only natural that currently many people choose to invest rather than trade bitcoin. Because of course everyone also wants low risk but quite satisfying results, that's why they invest in bitcoin. Because even though bitcoin investment takes a relatively long time, but if you manage to hold it, I'm sure the profits you get will be much greater than trading. Because trading at first glance looks like it will get profit faster, but don't forget that losses will really come to us quickly. That's why I personally recommend investing in bitcoin, because for me an asset as good as bitcoin, it's a shame if it's only made for daily trading.

I agree with you, in fact, trading may seems easy, but in reality trading is much more difficult and risky. Most newbies nowadays are stuck in the misconception that trading is a quick way to make money, and it is very easy. But when they face the reality, they only end up losing money.
But if we look at the investors of the last 4/5 years ago, who have been holding for at least more than the last Bitcoin cycle, they have already made a lot of money.
Bitcoin is a long-term asset, and holding is definitely more profitable than trading in the long term. And Bitcoin is definitely going to gain a lot more in the coming future.
So those who do not believe in the long term yet are going to miss out on a lot of big opportunities to make money in the future.

Sometimes I still get awed seeing that people still argue over trading or investment. The truth is that trading bitcoin always gives a cumulative interest of <=0. It has a Way of regaining all it has offered you or even more.

Recently people have concentrated more on letting people understand the dangers of bitcoin trading and understanding bitcoin investment.

"For beginners, I'd recommend starting with investing to get familiar with the market, then slowly testing trading with smaller amounts"

Getting involved in trading from the early stages is getting your self into drawbacks.

Talking about the bold statement in your write up, honestly speaking you can't force everyone to do things your own way, and everyone must not be a trader because it's not for everyone, and you equally have to understand that you must not get burnt before you learn, everyday traders are losing money in trading, so wether is a spare cash, little money or money you can afford to lose, if you knows nothing in it, and how to navigate your way around it, their is no point wasting the money because you will always end up in a loss, money that should have been use to acquire some unit of Bitcoin, but you decide to test the market thinking that you can outsmart it.

I don't really think that it's worth it because at the end of the day, if you place a trader and a Bitcoin investor that are both successful in their craft, the trader will still be nowhere near the investor in profit, if they are being compared in 10years intervals or more, so what's the point doing something that is very difficult to achieve success, while their is another way that is much easier and even more profitable when comparison is being made.
