It would have been more better to say when the market dip will buy more (keep buying) and when it pumps will keep buying until the long term goals is achieve and that is what makes you an investor, the dip offers buying more Bitcoin at a lesser price compared to its previous high hence we don't just hold our asset in dip but see as advantage to more Bitcoin and not with the mindset of selling when it pumps, you sounded more like a trader than an investor. An investor maximize every buying opportunities by buying Bitcoin all the time until
they reach their targets.
Yes, it is good for an investor to ignore the market and buy at all times of the market. That is, you will buy at all times of the market, as long as you achieve the goal. This is the characteristic of an investor. An investor buys during the market decline and also buys during the market rise. When someone has the mindset of an investor, he keeps looking for buying opportunities at every moment of the market. They are not the ones who panic even during the market decline and decide to sell after a little pump. Rather, they consider the market decline as a profitable time to buy and try their best to increase the portfolio. Even during the market pump, they use the market positively and maintain continuity in investment without considering buying.
When someone considers buying during the dip or the fall and thinks it is best to sell during the pump or the market rise, basically they are not investing but they are trading. In such a practice, a person is always chasing short-term gains and putting their money at risk. Although long-term investments take more time, your risk is less and you have the potential to get more profit. What's more, your consistent investment will eventually take a shape that you never imagined.
A negative new investor always wants to increase his investment because he does not want to face any kind of uncertainty in the market, but those who buy and sell investments as soon as the price rises are called traders. Because investment is not a business, investment is savings and through Bitcoin you can increase your savings or investment. The more Bitcoin you can accumulate, the higher your portfolio will be at some point. There are also those who sell their investments as soon as the price increases a little from the price they bought. They can never be good hodlers or investors, buying when the price falls and selling when it rises is foolish because you are saving your money for the future by investing in Bitcoin. In such a situation, if you sell, you will regret it later when you cannot buy. Always try to hold your investment for a specific period of time, preferably 4-10 years.
And no matter how much complications or pressure you face in these 4-10 years. Continue investing with the thought that you will not lose your investment in any way. If your financial situation is deteriorating, the DCA strategy may be the best option for you.
4 years of holding, I think it is the minimum a long term investor should hold and I want you to understand that holding for this minimum of 4 years doesn't guarantee or doesn't mean you will have a huge profit or return please do not be decided, what will guarantee or what will determine how big your return or profit will be in 4 years time is your portfolio that is if your portfolio is big ( consistent accumulation) and also if Bitcoin has moved to a great height ( skyrocket) within this interval of 4 years because even if you have a big portfolio and Bitcoin doesn't skyrocket within this interval of 4 years because of its volatile nature your profit won't be that big vice versa. So note that our return is dependent on the price of Bitcoin and our portfolio.
