The effectiveness of holding cannot be felt in a short term no matter how anybody tries to sugar coat it with bull-run expectation probably after buying the DIP, one thing you must understand is that, in some cases what comes as a disappointment for some investors especially newbies is the idea of investing in a short-term and waiting for a bull-run forgetting that bull-run is unpredictable in most cases and doesn't come that easy. An investor should understand that his success in Bitcoin is on the steady growth of Bitcoin as an asset and not entirely the immediate excitement of a bull-run that doesn't come steadily, although the bull-run is a sudden growth that excites every investor.
Exactly, some people always sugar coat the idea of benefiting from Bitcoin in a short period, to them they feel they could wait for a dip to occur then buy it and benefit from a possible bull run, yes it possible but I'm not in support of it since it goes against the concept of Bitcoin investment which is buying and holding for long-term to profit more in the future, I see that as a way of encouraging others towards going against the core motive of Bitcoin investment that I earlier stated, what I've got to understand is that people forget the success Bitcoin has achieved over the years when it comes to growth cause that alone should remind them of how effective it would be to hold Bitcoin for the next decade, if it could attain this height from the time of it's creation to this point then they could imagine what holding for even a full circle could be like not to even talk of holding for a decade or more.
