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?
Investors and a trader have the same interest and that's nothing but profit. Investors can buy Bitcoin for long term and can also buy with the purpose of holding for short term. Similarly, traders can open a position for long term depending on where they are looking to take profit and also hold for short term most especially day traders that don't waste time in holding an asset, I think it's OK to say all traders are investors because they push money to growth of project.
Most often, it's the traders that make coins to go up, that's when you see volume spoke up, that's when you see the price go up continuesly until there's nothing bullish about the coin again and that's when some investors take their profit from the market, that's when some traders even become trap. There are some people that open position with the purpose of selling quick but along the line get hook up on their trade and are force to become a holder until they make back there money.
