As a Bitcoin investor, you must maintain a long-term perspective, Bitcoin history clearly proves that those who have held for the long term have certainly been able to profit, and they have profited to an extent that they did not expect. It would be best if an investor can hold Bitcoin for the next two cycles, or more if they can afford to hold it, in short, long-term holding is the only way from which people have the potential to make profits larger than expected.
If you can't hold Bitcoin for a very long time, it's unwise getting into it because short term volatility might compell the said fellow to panic and sell in a loss, most times traders buy it with the intention of selling for minimal gains which most of them incurred some losses in the process because the market start declining, so they were unable to wait for the market to reverse before selling, so investment in Bitcoin should only be done with a long term mindset not a traders mentality.
Furthermore, taking risk is part of life, and the risk attached to Bitcoin is very small especially when you held it for a very long time, so that shouldn't scare us from investing in Bitcoin because risk id is part of the game.
