It’s certain that the longer your hold your investment, the bigger the future profits will be. But hodling and not knowing when is the target price to sell is like you are hodling without a goal. So now, I understand why the German government has decided to sell at that price, most probably that was their goal price, and selling at profits is always a profitable move.
Yes, they can be in huge profits if they have decided to be patient more and hold more. But I think that was also their best time to sell for profits, and we have no control over that.
There can never be any doubt that if you keep your investment for a long time, then you will definitely get it in the form of profit. But the basic thing about it is that if you invest and forget and say that you will get profit most of the time, then I think it is useless. It will not be of any use because the benefit of holding will be only if you keep an eye on your goal and whatever changes are happening in it or whatever new trends are emerging. You are aware of what updates are happening and if you have held your money, then what benefit will it give you, how much will it be and for how long will it be. But investing and forgetting and saying that you will get profit only after a long time is wrong. You have to keep yourself updated along with it. If you keep updating, then only then will you be able to benefit from it, otherwise it is useless and it is of no use to you.
Buy in time and sell in time—quite a normal scenario in the world of crypto investment. Holding long doesn't make us rich or benefit us, but selling every ATH does. Being an investor doesn't mean it's just all about holding long-term, we also sell. If we can do it right, we can make a lot of profit and not miss any opportunity. That is why constant market price monitoring is very important.
Buy low, sell high. This is a genuine strategy that exists. The market's volatility is a huge advantage, we don't have to miss it.
