Selling your Bitcoin when the price increases is never a long-term investment, for me, you invested to make a quick profit, a good investor will not decide to sell his bitcoin because of the price increase, when we talk about long-term investment, it means having the mind to hold your bitcoin for a long time even when the price increases without thinking of selling it, for me, four years is too short for a long-term investment, at least 6 to 10 years is good, there are people who have been holding bitcoin for more than 6 to 7 years and have not regretted it because they trust in what they are holding and how it will benefit them in the future.
Selling your bitcoin early indicates that you are not ready to invest in bitcoin since you are still sceptical of the market. How did people who sold their bitcoin feel when the price began to rise after they sold it? It is not suggested to sell your bitcoin when the price rises and you believe you can make a profit, this is not a smart method to succeed in a bitcoin journey.
Yes, what you said is correct. Because, of course, what is referred to as a long-term investor is someone who can hold their assets for at least 5 years, and that is the shortest period of time. So, for example, if a Bitcoin investor sells their Bitcoin within one year of purchasing it, I also agree that such a person cannot be considered a long-term investor, but rather a short-term trader. Although it is true that the Bitcoin assets we own are private property and can be sold at any time, the problem arises when such people claim to be long-term investors their assumption is clearly incorrect. Therefore, I believe we must clearly distinguish between these two concepts. If we fail to do so, there is a risk that beginners might misunderstand the nature of long-term Bitcoin investment. That is why this matter needs to be clarified now.
