I see things like "long term holders" defined as 6 months or something which just seems very short term. This is a good example of what a true long term is. To me it is at least 4-5 years that is "long term". I'd even go to 10 if bitcoin had been around longer.
Many people have always maintained that bitcoin is not a get rich quick investment, they do not consider it a get rich quick tool and have no intention of getting rich quick from it. But what's interesting is that many of us consider a 6 month-1 year holding period to be long term.
Indeed, long-term holding is only correct when we hold for at least 4 years or more (1 cycle). Investments under 4 years cannot be considered long term investments and this is only true for crypto as crypto are generally more speculative. But for the stock market, it takes 5-10 years of holding to be considered a true long-term investor.
