Concerning the bold statement that you made, sometimes it's not about having a long term plan or not, it is about putting down measures to safeguard your Bitcoin investment against any unforseen circumstances that may warrant you to temper with your Bitcoin investment, that is why sir jayjuangee has always emphasize on the importance of emergency and reserve funds in Bitcoin investment, because emergency situation will definitely come, but if you don't have it in place to protect your investment, your Bitcoin investment is doomed if any emergencies arise while investing.
The measures you said is one of approach every bitcoiner should not joke with, i have heard some stories about people not competing what they started just because they refused to follow the right way in investing in bitcoin, investing in bitcoin is very good but we must as a matter urgency concentrate on those things that could make us stop at a point when we have not reach the level we want arive at, hey friend, I love what you said, I notice that some people don't normally talk about possible means that could help investors generally not to get trap as they invest, what we keep seeing or hearing from some persons here is invest invest and invest although is not bad to see or hear that but newbies, it is very healthy investment wise that they get to know that theres something like emergency funds which they will likely rely on when they need arises so that they won't go shrinking their portfolio for nk reason.
