...There are many investors who decide to sell their investments even after getting a small profit from their invested money. In my opinion, they are not investors. They are traders. The first thing an investor does is to be patient. And to hold the investment for at least 2 cycles from the cycle in which he is investing. If someone sells the investment after getting a small profit from it, then he has nothing to do but regret it later. The longer you hold your investment, the more profitable you will be.
It's no new thing that traders enter the market just to take profit in a short period after they've made little gains but ignorance can make new investors make such mistake too, many investors have made such mistake before they realize that they were doing the wrong thing and desist from it, one thing about Bitcoin is that if you come into the market with a trader mentality whether you're ignorant or not it would always prove to you that's it's meant for a long-term purpose and make you regret on the long run cause when you take profits due to over excitement, panic or whatever the price would definitely increase beyond the point you sold and you'll regret why you didn't hodl it for longer, it's a mistake that lots of people have made in the past before the learnt from it and became long-term holders.
Believe it or not, a lot of people are still making these mistakes today, there will always be newbies, people with no experience in bitcoin investment but who want to go into it and sometimes their problems come from the people who advise them, they get feed false enticing news which leads them to make poor investments (trading) choices ultimately leading to regret and loss on the part, financially.
If newbie investors can have access to credible information on how the bitcoin market works then they can invest the right way with the mindset that they are venturing into a long term investment that can run for decades on end and they need to stay away from failed bitcoin traders who want to drag other down with them, because let's face it, most of the people busy giving out these false advices didn't make anything out of their bitcoin trading, yet you see them advising others to still trade, you can keep doing thr same thing and expecting a different outcome.
Each of us is still responsible to figure out the good from the bad information, and sure many of us are vulnerable in terms of hearing what we want to hear and not necessarily engaging in sufficient/adequate due diligence.. including figuring out how to manage our cashflows, which is likely amongst the most important of things to figure out in the beginning of investing into bitcoin.. and we don't even need to have our cashflow management figured out at the beginning, since we should be able to figure out the details as we go, including our getting started investing in bitcoin, even with a mere $10 per week. .and then perhaps figuring out the extent that we might be able to increase that down the road to $100 per week and/or more dedication towards allocating more of our time, energy and/or our monetary value into investing into bitcoin and assuring that our cashflow management systems are sufficiently shored up (including our building and maintaining various kinds of back up funds).
You've said it all. Everyone has their own priorities and what's actually important to them, and since it's never the same, it's left for each of us to just skip through all the noise and just figure out what's really important to us. Yes, it's left for everyone to hear and accept whatever they want and discard whatever they want, but it's always of utmost importance that we should, at all time, do our due diligence first, rather than just accepting whatever they through at you, because not everything is at it seems.
Effectively managing one's cashflow can actually be quite a big deal, especially when it involves bitcoin investment, this is because, cash flow management isn't something that one can actually master from the beginning. No, it's something you gotta work on, in order to develop and maybe perfect someday, it's always a gradual process. Starting your accumulation with a small amount, like $10 and then gradually increasin the amount overtime can actually be a pretty great strategy.
It's a process and you gotta take it one step at a time. Consistency and discipline is also the key, because when you're consistent in your accumulation and also work towards improving your strategy, you'll have a pretty much higher chances of reaching your goals.
