Yes, choosing to invest long-term in Bitcoin is certainly the right move. Personally, I believe there are several disadvantages to being a trader. Believe me, trading is very tiring and requires a significant amount of time each day. Traders typically conduct market analysis and monitor the market daily. Believe it or not, being a trader is emotionally and mentally draining. Fundamentally, when we trade, our money can be lost at any time due to liquidity. That's why I say being a trader is emotionally and mentally draining. Finally, many crypto traders make it their primary job, and I believe this is the danger of being a trader. This can lead to the loss of a real-world job. And if we experience losses from trading, our lives can become a bit stressful. Therefore, it's better to invest in Bitcoin. It's certainly safer.
There are more negative impacts than benefits because, in addition to the inconvenience (especially for day traders who are often busy with candlesticks every day), this ultimately takes up time and attention. This is different from what we do when investing, especially for a specific period of time that we have set, because that clearly makes us more comfortable in the sense that we don't need to open charts all the time, and not being too concerned about short-term fluctuations and so on.

I still prefer investing because it’s more flexible for me; I can still work and engage in other activities while my investments continue to run smoothly each month. Although this month I’ve just started filling the gap again because I previously sold some of my assets for primary needs, where I managed to get my dream house after almost 3-4 years of DCA in Bitcoin. But since it was a primary need, I let go of some of the ownership I had previously acquired, and now I’m starting to do DCA again like when I first started in Bitcoin to refill my portfolio.
