Is it really compulsory that an investor who is in accumulation stage must spend at least a whole cycle to build his portfolio? What if he meets his accumulation target before a cycle, should he continue to accumulate just because it hasn't gotten to 4 years since he started accumulating?. I don't think that the years one spend in accumulating bitcoins matter anymore inasmuch as they can get a big stash of bitcoins in their portfolio even when it hasn't gotten to a whole cycle. The plan should be to HODL for a long term but the time of accumulation should not matter because there are some people that just choose to lump sum a huge amount of bitcoins and HODL without making any further accumulation again.
Good question, now have you bothered checking what the whole 4 year cycle is all about?. We are not just referring to the numbers of days/weeks/months an Investor ought to keep buying and hodling his/her Bitcoin, we are also considering few activities that might occurred within that period of 4 years, which will certainly guarantee a better profitable value.
AFAIK, there are four phases in a 4 years. We have the Halving, Bull market, Bear market, and Accumulation phase.
Now, few days back, I made mention of what Bitcoin's price was when I newly joined the forum (I think about $55K-60K), and I saw it grew in a space of a year. Now what kind of target do you think I might have set if my plan was to hold for just one year?... A perfect or an Awful plan?. We are currently bullish at this point, but a phase will come where the market will present us with a better accumulating opportunity, and at the end of the entire 4 years cycle, you will get a very strong return and it will reduce your risk of bad timing.
If an investor feels that exiting the market after hitting his/her are target before the 4 years cycle is the best thing to do, then it's all left for them. But you might want to consider how effective a 4 year cycle can be.
But let's note that our DCA strategy runs through the entire phase of the 4 year cycle, which still gives a stronger return.
