That should be true, but I think some investors who intend to hold Bitcoin in the long term also often look at Bitcoin price movements to be able to enter at the lowest price to get the best price so they can accumulate more Bitcoin and I think that's not wrong even though an investor also uses the DCA strategy to accumulate Bitcoin, but sometimes when the price correction is very deep, someone will change the strategy so that they can be more profitable by buying Bitcoin in larger quantities than usual.
Those who want to hold Bitcoin for the long term never look at the price. They always look at how quickly they can enrich their Bitcoin portfolio. Because they always think that the price of Bitcoin today may not be the same tomorrow. They never calculate daily profit/loss, weekly profit/loss or monthly profit/loss in this way. Their goal is long-term. They think about where they want to be in Bitcoin after 10 years, 15 years or 20 years. Today the price of Bitcoin is $115,000, if tomorrow this price drops to $100,000, then they never regret their previous purchase, but rather they choose this as a buying opportunity because the price is currently falling and they buy as aggressively as possible and increase their Bitcoin portfolio. Because they have confidence in Bitcoin, they have understood that no matter what the price of Bitcoin is today, in the long term, i.e. after 10 years, 15 years or 20 years, its price will be several times higher than its current value.
Therefore, investors who are confident in Bitcoin, i.e. Bitcoin real investors, never look at the price of Bitcoin, but when they have a reasonable income to invest in Bitcoin, they invest in Bitcoin with it. And if the price drops, they take it as an opportunity to buy, if possible, and if they have a separate fund to buy aggressively, they invest at that moment.
I think it is wrong to say that  long term holders are always looking for ways to quickly enrich there portfolio. It is mostly those with short term motive , that is those that wants to make quick profit that thinks they can be able to enrich there portfolio within a short time and  then cash out or start taking profit from there investment.
Long term holders understand the importance of consistency as regards building a better portfolio in bitcoin. Trying to enrich one portfolio quickly is majorly the behaviour or attributes of short term holders or traders

There is nothing wrong for an investor to always looks for a way to quickly increase their portfolio provided that they are doing it within their means of financial circumstances without starving the other areas of their life to achieve that, trying to enrich one portfolio quickly is not just a characteristics of a short term holder or traders as you said, we are not encouraging whinpiness but to be aggressively and persistently buying Bitcoin within our financial strength without over doing things in order to increase our portfolio, this is the motivation for every investor.

You are right any investor who has a little source of income and due to that he also has a little discretionary, such investor will be wishing and hoping to improve one day because everyone want to improve in there investment but not by going or doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. There are folks that are not always contented with what they have and this folks can decide to increase or double up because of wants or unnecessary desire and this can result to selling of investment even when they are not due so even when we wish or want to..., we should be grateful and be contented with what is available.
Even if we are contented and grateful with what we already have, there are still times when certain emergency situations which are beyond our control may come up. And in such moments, the pressure of that situation might push us into wanting to tamper with our Bitcoin holdings just to cope with that very situation. That is exactly why it’s so very important for one to always create a backup fund, coz emergencies don’t send notice before they arrive.
