Some people buy Bitcoin and they hold for a long time so that when the price push up, they will sell and rejoice in profit, while some people are trading Bitcoin, they are buying and selling almost instantly to get profit on a short time. I really want to know whom you guys refer to as investors, is it a person that buys and keeps buying through out the bear season with his intention to sell in bull market season OR you refer investors as the person that trade Bitcoin repeatedly for short time profit? Can both of them be seen investors and for what reason?
An investor is a person who buys bitcoin for the purpose of hodling/keeping for the long term, this is very different from a trader who buys bitcoin and sells it at the slightest profit gained they gain..
Though traders are of different categories while investors are of different categories as well, we have short and long term investors, while we also have short term and day traders.
A short term investors buys bitcoin and hold for a minimum of atleast, six months before deciding to sell, while a long term investor buys and hold their bitcoin for a minimum of one year or more before deciding whether to sell or hold for much longer, this same explanation applies to day traders and short term traders as well.
