Bitcoin is a long-term investment therefore holding beyond 5 years is even more preferable, we've seen how it's risen in the past decade so you can imagine how it would be like in the next decade, there're even hope that the price could be up to $1m by then so I think those who only invest for a full circle should consider extending their long-term plan to a decade or more, the beauty of holding Bitcoin is that no amount is too small so far the holder is considering holding for a very long period, you can do it daily, weekly or monthly and according to the income you generate. The more you hold Bitcoin, the more advantage you get compared to someone who's held for a lesser period someone who's held Bitcoin for a decade or 2 decades would be at more advantage and profit compared to someone who held for 5 years due to the ability of the coin increasing over time.
Yes, bitcoin is recommended to be held for a long time, and we can even accumulate the amount when the market experiences a correction with the money we have. Many people have proven and felt that when they hold it for a long time, they can eventually get big profits, including me. And even this may be only a little that we hold compared to people who have more money. But that's not a problem at all, as long as we want to do it, then any amount is not a problem. Yes, maybe we will feel and want to hold more, well there we try to find more sources of our income to later allocate to buy bitcoin.
You are right, how other people are going about their investment shouldn't be a problem because people financial ability is not the same and we are advised to build our investment within our own financial circumstances since looking at what others are doing can lead to impulsive decision that we influence our investment negatively, no matter how small our investment amount is we don't have to compared it to others Bitcoin investment is not a competitive investment, identify your own level of finance, risk tolerance and stay in your own space.
