However, everyone's life situation is different and it can be very difficult for someone to hold on for a year. So if someone thinks that one year is long-term, it is only their personal matter, which cannot be said to be bad at all.
I disagree with you to accept from anyone that one year bitcoin of holding bitcoin and selling is a long-term even if they claim it is. One year is not investing because you will still be a low coiner. That person is a trader and not an investor because he is only after profit and not after building, growing and norturing his bitcoin investment to a certain level in future. A lot of people into bitcoin are traders because they holdi not up to a circle and take profits but they claim to be investors. They're in this forum.
I agree with you. Long term is never enough for 1 year. An investor should hold his investment for at least 4 years. Especially if he can hold for a Bitcoin cycle, then it can be called a long term investment. Those who are investing for this short period of time are definitely taking Bitcoin as a short term trader. There is no chance to call them Bitcoin investors in any way. If such traders can make some profit before a year, they will sell their Bitcoin.
What happens in the case of such investors is that when they sell Bitcoin at a low profit, they are later unable to buy that amount of Bitcoin due to the high price, which is why they mostly regret it later. They lose their purchasing power. The expectation of big profits by being a short term trader of Bitcoin is completely unreasonable.
