There is no guarantee that you will make a profit by investing in Bitcoin. The Bitcoin market is very volatile, there is never a guarantee that you will make a 100% profit by investing in Bitcoin. But the risk in long-term investment is much lower than in short-term investment. No one is ever able to predict, all we can do is guess. For example, by looking at the market demand for Bitcoin and the history of Bitcoin, we can guess that the price of Bitcoin will increase in the future. In the case of long-term investment, you do not have to worry about small ups and downs in the market.
This is not true. Volatility is Bitcoin's intrinsic characteristic that makes it unique. And yeah, you can actually make money from Bitcoin investment if you equip yourself with the right knowledge.
For a long term investor, the formula is quite simple. Buy during the bear season and sell during the bull season. For a short term investor or trader, It's more of fundamental analysis. Staying well informed, following market trends and taking decisive actions can put money in your pocket. For instance, when Donald Trump announced the new US tariff and the market took a deep. Some short term traders will see this as an opportunity and take their positions and when the market turns green, they'll sell their bag and wait for another opportunity.
Buying bitcoin during the bear season and selling during the bull season is not the right way to invest in bitcoin that's a gambling method as a new investor your plans should be to accumulate in all season and never think of selling until you have accumulated enough Bitcoin to your satisfaction and can decide to sell out little part.
As a long time Investor you are supposed to be accumulating Bitcoin regularly either using the DCA strategy and hodl for 4-10 or more, it is mostly traders that monitor to buy bitcoin when there is a dip and Target to sell when the price increase. You are buy during the dip thinking it will increase to sell and it keep dropping and finally sold at lost before it dip further but for a long time investor instead of selling he keeps accumulating knowing that that's the nature of bitcoin due to it volatile nature which has the tendency to increase even above it previous price .
So I think wrong to say that long time bitcoin investor buy during the bear season and sell during the bull season
As for me, I see the method of buying Bitcoin during a bear market and selling it back in a bull market as suitable for short-term investors. However, I might still prefer to call such a person who uses this method a trader. Trading may not always provide consistent profits, despite the knowledge a person may have about it. It inevitably involves losses as well because the Bitcoin market is unpredictable.Many people who involve themselves in trading often regret it and end up quitting because things don’t always go as planned. Instead of trading to make short-term profits which may even lead to losses if one sells at the wrong time or waits for Bitcoin to fall again (which might not happen as planned) why can’t someone focus on long-term investing?By using the DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) method for accumulating and continuing to hold their Bitcoin investment for, say, 10 years before considering selling even a small percentage, they might achieve more reliable and sustainable growth.
