Market sentiment is changing and Bitcoin is always associated with volatility, so it is difficult to say in this process that only holding it for the long term will yield profits or maybe it's not even possible to say depending on how much Bitcoin you've accumulated and how long you've held it. Holding for the long term is definitely a broad-mindedness for investing but if you have enough Bitcoin and are aware of the market situation there may be a chance to make a profit, because of the rapid rise and fall of the market even if you have a portfolio full of Bitcoin no distinguished investor can guarantee a profit.
In all you said what sense are trying to make, are you advising that since profit is not also guaranteed in the future that it will a good decision for any investor to take any available profit, although I don't really get the point you are trying to make, I believe you know the history of bitcoin, with your years of experience in bitcoin and the history you've followed have to ever heard or see bitcoin fail to appreciate overtime, from the day bitcoin was created till now, hope you know that there has been a good progress, $100 and $123k and some fractions we got to was then a big dream for all bitcoiners, as a matter of fact some investors never expected that 2024 will be the year that bitcoin will hit $100k but where are we today, @just Say, bitcoiners are smart thinkers, the performance overtime and the history of bitcoin investment is the reason why we believe in what bitcoin can become n the nearest future so it is better to hodl bitcoin for a long-term period of time, I will not want to be mentioning the range in which an investor is expected to hodl bitcoin but we should atlest hodl bitcoin for 3 or more cycles before we can talk about anything and it will also has depend on how substantial our hodlings is.
I'm trying to figure out just sayings point and it makes no sense to me, the fact that no one knows the future doesn't mean people should sell whenever the price drops, that statement is never encouraging to newbies cause most of them would think it makes sense to sell when downtrend volatility occurs and they have a fair amount of Bitcoin, that's never the concept of investment, an investment requires longitivity in holding to make better profits, and since the DCA is involved then volatility is never an issue.
Yes no one knows what the future if Bitcoin would be but it's given investors hope over time that if they remain patient and hold for a longer period the profit is guaranteed, it shown signs of having strong potential of doing well in future so I see just saying's statement as discouraging, a true holder shouldn't say such nor alter worlds that would discourage others from holding.
