Good decision have braveness used saving fund for buying bitcoin at the dip price with difficulty found another people will scare for taking their saving fund to buy bitcoin. If keep hold until two or three years until bitcoin hit higher price unfortunately earn much profitable and get huge increasing of his saving fund than keep in the bank only.


But in the end, this context does not lead to investment because in the end it is not much different from trading if the concept is like that.

This is what sometimes becomes confusion for some people because they lose their way in understanding the investment made because they mix up the understanding of trading and investment so that sometimes they feel that selling and waiting for the price to correct is a way of investing even though it is trading because for long-term investment of course we are aware that we will not sell the bitcoin that we have at this time even though the goal is to buy it back when bitcoin corrects.
Many misunderstandings about this which sometimes it is quite capable of making their goals which were originally quite good actually become chaotic because of the understanding of investment that is wrong considering they mix the understanding of investment and trading.
That's just the point bro, mostly newbies investors confuse trading for investment because they still has that mindset of making quick money, because of that they will sell off all their holdings for minimal gains and thinking to buy back when the price has dip, but that's not investing, that's trading because an investor will not sell off his holdings for minimal gains and secondly, he will never sell of his holdings especially when he is still in his accumulation stage, it's only traders that doesn't have a set time that they sell, they just sell once their is a sharp increase in price, and they are mostly the ones that still sell at a loss anytime the is a strong dip in the market because they feels like it's going to take a lot of time before the market recover, so that is one of the key reason why they are mostly nowhere near an investor in terms of ROI in the same timeframe like ten years or more.
Most new investors cannot handle their greed for short-term gains, and this is why they can never make long-term profits. If an investor wants to hold his Bitcoin for the long term, he must first be free from greed and emotion. Because of Bitcoin's volatility, Bitcoin can pump up too high at any time, or dump too high at any time. So people sell their holdings out of greed during the pumping and again sell their holdings of fear during the dumping. Because of this, they will never be able to hold on for the long term, and as a result, they will be deprived of the real success of Bitcoin in the long term.

I don't think if greed could be the reason why most Investors choose to sell thier holdings for short term profit, moreover if an Investor choose to sell his holdings for short term profit does not mean that he's a greedy Investor, Rather they are just being so curious to make profit from bitcoin investment or they may not  be having much trust in thier  investment which is why most Investors easily get moved by the market volatility. However, I think you're getting the meaning of greed wrongly because had it mean you know the real definition of greed" you wouldn't have considered those Investors who chooses to sell thier holdings when there's an increase in the value of bitcoin as the greedy type, because is when one fail to take advantage during the pump that they are supposed to be tag as a greedy Investor, and not when they sold thier holdings at gain.
I think that saying that those that sold their holdings for minimal gains are greedy is not proper because to the best of my knowledge, life it's about interest, so everyone is greedy when it comes to what is of nteresting to them, so I think that the right thing to call those people that sold too early are traders, because they are just too impatient with their investment, they want to make money quick, that's why they sell off at any slight increase in the value of Bitcoin.
When talking about greediness, the real greedy investors are those that invested in shit coin even when they know how dangerous it is, those are the real greedy investors,  because their sense of judgement will always be clouded with greed due to 10x to 100x, those are the real greedy investors, not impatient traders that sold for minimal gains.
