Take note that you don't needs to analyze the market as a Bitcoin investor, just buy once your discretionary income is available because the price of Bitcoin now is still very cheap comparing to how much it might be in ten to twenty years time from now, so why analyzing?
 
And secondly, their is nothing as a short term investor, it's either you are a long term investor or a trader that buys with the intention of selling for minimal gains in a very short time interval, so in my own opinion, those people that buy and sold their Bitcoin just because it appreciate in value are not investors, they are traders that sold for minimal gains.

Finally, when it comes to investment in Bitcoin, the best way to go about it is to think only long term because the way Bitcoin is wired, you can only reap the full dividend of your investment when you buy and hold for a very long period of time, not minimal gains that wouldn't have any significant impact on your financial status.

Different people see it differently, but yeah, generally, BTC is seen as the true store of value to be hodled for a long time, 4-5 years at minimal, to see good results, accumulating little by little.

Other coins cannot be used for the same logic simply because they are not as stable.
I can agree with you that bitcoin is a true is store of value with potential when you buy and hold for long term. But I disagree with you that 4 to 5 years holding is not enough for a real bitcoin investors who truly know what they they are doing, rather bitcoin holding should be from 5 to 10 years or more to me in massive profits.

As an investor you should be holding from 5 to 10 years not 4 to 5 years, however just like you said anyone who's holding for 4 to 5 years is still in the right direction, everyone has a target and as soon as they meet that target they don't go further anymore.
But let me clear something if you are holding from 2 to 4 years you are just a trader and not an investor some people call it short term investors but is simply trading, we all know how Bitcoin growth is and you are just planning on accumulating to holding for just 2 to 4 years and still call yourself an investor no you are a trader and not an investor.
One of the reason why they always tell investors to invest what they can afford to lose is because if you use money that you don't really need to invest you can hold it for years without caring about it but if you use money you want to use to settle something important you can't hold for long, so as an investor you should be ready to hold for 5 to 10 years without it being a big deal.
