Everything about bitcoin has always shows future prospective benefits, whereby remains the major conceptual fact everyone has been taking for bitcoin adoption as we continue to invest in it, because bitcoin is has a promising future for every users ones they go through the right path in it, it is also important that we know the aspect that best suit us, so that we may all fall on the profitable side for choosing bitcoin.

The most suitable aspect is investing in Bitcoin because it's user-friendly and offers no burdens. Meanwhile, the benefits of Bitcoin adoption for countries and their citizens include the ability to acquire advanced knowledge about Bitcoin and the ability to use it directly to purchase other goods without having to first exchange it for cash. However, those who are confident in Bitcoin's future will never exchange it for something else as long as they can still hold it securely and have something else they can use to purchase something, such as fiat.

There are some investors who try to make profit by selling small targets. This is not bad

I think it is really bad and shameful for someone who calls himself an investor to sell his bitcoin holdings for a small target of short profit. As a matter of fact you don’t refer to such persons as an investor but rather they are referred to as traders because such mindset is a trading mindset which is not really encouraging and also misleading especially to the newbies as it will translate such mindset to them also. Selling for a short term gains isn’t a good investment strategy or mindset, you’ll be thinking you’re making gains but the end product is a total loss, if you sell now for the short term gain, and probably you want to accumulate later you might be buying bitcoin in a more higher price even more than the gain you think you made earlier and if that happens, you are already at a loss. I’m sure most people who sell when bitcoin hits $90k will be regretting now. The best is to accumulate persistently, consistently and hodl for the long term goal.

Yes, and short term gains is just like gambling per se, and it looks like you are just gambling the hell out of it. Just look at this scenario,

• 2017: Sold at $10K? Missed $20K.
• 2020: Sold at $20K? Missed $69K.
• 2024: Selling at $90K? You’ll miss $250K+.

So in any case that 3rd scenario is hit in today's current bull run cycle, then short term investors are going to regret the potential profit. You just have to hold in the last 4 months or so and you will have that biggest ROI. And from what I've learn, the biggest regret here are always by SELLING,  and not holding.

By now, we should 'believed' that Bitcoin should be hold long term, look at the bigger picture.
And for newbies, don't believed on the 'get rich quick scheme', those who believed it in? - they usually go broke.

Your three examples are ok in order to argue your point, yet there are even better examples of guys selling at various points in which the BTC price had gone up a lot in prior times so then they sold a lot if not everything with an expectation that the price was going to drop back down, but instead the price continued to go up and then the price never dropped back down below their sell price at sufficient levels to motivate them to buy back, and there are even examples where the price does drop back to or below their levels and the dumb (greedy) trading twats are too greedy to buy back because they want even lower prices, which do not end up happening.

Yes, I might have illustrated the cost of selling early, which had happened many times in Bitcoin's history. And there are a lot of lessons to learn, maybe we can call it a trap. Like traders selling at X price, then expecting a price drop, but the price keeps rising. And by the time they've notice their big mistake, and FOMO kicks in, but still refuses to buy back at higher price. Like selling at $20k in 2020, waiting for $15k that never arrived. Or the greedy, the condition is perfect to buy, it has met their criteria as it retrace to their sell level as they hold it out for lower prices. Waiting for $50K after selling at $60K, only to watch it rally to $100K. That's why it's really best to look at long term value of Bitcoin. Holding thru cycles is the only consistent strategy. I don't know the numbers, but I believed that holding consistently has outperformed 99% of the trading strategies. There are a lot of benefits more than ever from holding long term, like countries seeing it as national reserve, institutions are inside, and then the majority of us here, the retail investors = higher floors overtime. And for gamblers, the longer we hold, the better odds we got.

There are some investors who try to make profit by selling small targets. This is not bad,

The very idea of an investor selling for small profit is bad enough already and should not be encouraged in my opinion, when they do this, they switch from investing to trading and this is where all their mistakes start piling up for them, no investor's target should be short term, and making profits from small targets is short term investment and while it might seem promising at the time it's always the after effects that's detrimental as they sometimes sell more than the profit made and even sell the capital investment because while you might have made $1k profit during your sale, investing $1k after might afford you less bitcoin than what you sold which leaves you at a lose.

Those who buy Bitcoin for a small profit should know more about the benefits of holding it for the long term.

those who buy bitcoin for small profits will definitely know less about the benefits of holding long term since they've probably never experienced it themselves, it's makes more sense for a long term investor to, short term investors invest in short term because they don't know about the benefits of investing long term, to them the short term profit is the best kind of profit to make, if they understood the benefits of investing long term then they would have invested long term so I disagree with them knowing more about the benefits of holding bitcoin for long term as that would mean long term investors know less about the benefits of holding which is very wrong.

Switching from investing to trading means that person has still not understood the concept of investing in bitcoin but has just being following people to invest because they are investing and want to be recorded or answering name of bitcoin holder, he his not investing out if his own wish and that is why when the price of bitcoin remains a bit constant for a period of time just as it is now, they tend to switch over to trading, we don't see those persons as real investors but passers by in the bitcoin investment sector.

Those set of persons are traders, who are only trying to be convinced with investing in bitcoin, but still are yet to understand it .

Experienced investors are familiar with Bitcoin, but those who are new to investing in Bitcoin may not be familiar with Bitcoin, so they have a beautiful history of Bitcoin that proves how profitable it is in the long term. Some of those who invested in Bitcoin in history were short-term investors and many investors have been able to achieve long-term success because they were patient in the market fluctuations, leaving behind temporary fear and greed as the price increased, hoping for big profits, so they are currently profitable because it is what Bitcoin has rewarded them as a result of their patience, on the other hand, short-term investors who sold their Bitcoin in history and are regretting it at the present time, in that case, current investors should also have a long-term goal because Bitcoin can increase its value more than we fear, but there is no guarantee of this but Bitcoin has a bright future,

An investor who has been involved in investing in Bitcoin for a long time actually has a good idea about Bitcoin but a new investor who is just starting to invest does not have such a good idea about investing, as a result of which it is seen that if no one helps him in terms of long-term investment planning, he starts investing in any coin other than Bitcoin and later he regrets it.

Bitcoin is always the best choice for long-term investment, I have heard of many such investors who first learned about Bitcoin and then learned about investing in Bitcoin and later they are investing in Bitcoin. I think that even if you think about the safety of your money, you should always invest in Bitcoin. If we look at the changes in Bitcoin from the time when Bitcoin came to the market to the present time, we will see that the price of Bitcoin and its popularity have increased every year, so it goes without saying that Bitcoin is the most reliable and popular digital currency in the market right now.

for many people, investing in Bitcoin feels like the most straightforward path since it doesn’t come with the same barriers or complexities as some other financial systems. On a national level, adoption also creates a ripple effect, people not only gain hands on experience using Bitcoin, but they also learn more about the technology behind it. That kind of awareness can be a big step toward financial independence, especially in regions where traditional banking isn’t as accessible.

That said, long term holders often take a different approach. If they truly believe in Bitcoins potential, they would rather keep it stored safely instead of trading it for everyday purchases, especially when they have other payment options like fiat currency. For them, Bitcoin isn’t just a tool for buying things, it is a store of value they expect to grow over time.

Well we are seeing some very big gains right now. So I will not be selling any of my Bitcoin.

We are very close to a new all time high and I do think that will be very soon. So for now we should buy some cheaper sats before we do see a new all time high.

Yes, it's clear that such people are traders, not true investors. Because if someone truly wanted to become a Bitcoin investor, they certainly wouldn't switch to trading just because the Bitcoin market is somewhat stable. But personally, I don't care too much about such people's behavior, because ultimately, they will learn a lesson for their actions. So, for now, we'd better focus on being consistent with our Bitcoin accumulation. Because, believe me, changing someone's mindset or perspective is very difficult. So, let such people realize it on their own.

we have gone passed that stage of still doing comparison on whether bitcoin is better than any other asset class or wether one should invest in some coin at the expense of investing in bitcoin. such kind of conversation and opinion is just an indicator that we are not seeing the direction bitcoin is headed to and that we are just dragging our legs behind.

bitcoin is yet again about to cross the last all time high it once got to not long ago and and with the way it is going, it is only showing us that we will continue to see it going high to more all time high in the future. a newbie just need to know this fact and focus his attention on bitcoin while for the old investor that has stayed long enough in the system, there is no need waiting for any form of motivation. the only thing to do is to keep buying, building your bitcoin stack and cut off from anything that looks like a major distraction.

i still remember coming into the system when bitcoin was bellow $40k and it looks as though $100k was something that is to big to even imagine, after less than two years, what can we then say? is it not clear that building ones stack from that point to this time has obviously placed one at a good profit region? that alone is a good inspiration to draw from to keep complete attention on bitcoin and focus more on best strategy that will help one build his bitcoin fast enough rather than trying to scatter ones holding by diverting attention to some coin that can only survive for the short term.

Everyone has their own plans, and I don't think it's wrong to do that. Sometimes, people want greater profits or accumulate assets more quickly and in greater numbers. Although the risks involved in trading are significant, such bets are feasible for those who understand trading and have the confidence to do so.
I believe our goal is the same: to profit in the future, even if our paths and strategies differ.

And I do both: investing for the future by slowly accumulating Bitcoin using the DCA method. I also trade with different currencies, with the goal of accumulating more Bitcoin in the future from my trading profits.

Considering the history of Bitcoin is very important for new investors, because if they consider history, they will see that many investors who invested patiently and when the price of Bitcoin started increasing from that investment, they still kept their greed behind and remained steadfast in their right decisions, which is why they have been rewarded in the present time, on the other hand, there were many who knew about Bitcoin but did not come forward to invest in Bitcoin, and many others invested but due to their greed they could not bring their investment forward because they might have panicked after seeing the price of Bitcoin fluctuate and sold it, or else they could not control their greed when the price of Bitcoin started increasing, but they are the ones who regret it in the present time because they have got the results of their actions, so it is important for new investors to know and gain experience well about the history of Bitcoin.  If you want to strengthen your investments at the present time, you can use the DCA strategy and do it for a long time, even if your investment is small. By using the DCA strategy, you will get rid of the worries of when to enter or exit the market.

Yea you are right, looking at the historical record of Bitcoin and how it has fought his way up is really going to be encouraging for newbies investors to have more faith and will in investing in Bitcoin but I believe that the best possible way a newbie investors will invest in Bitcoin is having the right knowledge and mindset from the very beginning, that's why it very important on who introduced Bitcoin to you, if you knew about Bitcoin from a trader, their is a higher probability that he might mislead you and you will come with the mindset of buying and selling once it appreciate in value, but if you were introduced to it by a real investor, someone like jayjuangee that has seen it all , someone that knows all it entails to be successful in it, their is a higher probability that you will be successful in your investment because you got into it with the right knowledge.
In essence of what am trying to say is that who introduced an individual to Bitcoin has a major role to play in how the said person goes about his Bitcoin investment.

i still remember coming into the system when bitcoin was bellow $40k and it looks as though $100k was something that is to big to even imagine, after less than two years, what can we then say?........~cut~

Yes, when the price of Bitcoin was below $40k, no one imagined that the price of Bitcoin would be $120k plus. But instead of time, now people expect $1 million in the future. So Bitcoin will be valued over time. Now I've heard the stories of some people who say investing in Bitcoin is late, while some people say Bitcoin is expensive. In fact, those who think like that have not gained proper knowledge about Bitcoin, they do not believe in Bitcoin. Now very few people have got an idea about Bitcoin and invested. But instead of time, Bitcoin will become more popular and the price will gradually increase. So if you don't want to regret it in the future, you should start investing in Bitcoin now. Because those who have not invested in Bitcoin in the past are regretting it now. So before the time passes you have to invest in the right place, which will bring good returns in the future, if we go to find the right place then we should invest in Bitcoin. So whatever the price, focus only on depositing bitcoins without planning to sell.

That's how crazy things goes. People don't see its value unless it reach unto that figures mentioned.

For so many times Bitcoin already show great potential and imagine on what value it start then it reach at current figure. That's why with those progress achieve by Bitcoin this should be a proof or something indicator that Bitcoin has more to offer. That's why its still not late to buy even if Bitcoin would reach at $120k since there's good chance that it will reached for more figures. We should remember that Bitcoin had limited supply. There's huge chance for Bitcoin to reach at $200k or even break those $500k prediction drop by lots of people. That's why better start to invest now and throw away their doubts in Bitcoin.

Even though you are being introduced to bitcoin by the devil himself, you should have your own cognitive reasoning as a human being from what you've seen that those of them that have profited appreciably from bitcoin investment are those that have been steadfast in their pursuit for long term holding, without being told as a newbie, you could see the trajectory to which those of them that have held bitcoin for good number of years being at the front burner in the affairs of Bitcoin in terms of possession, while traders don't even stand the chance to be in that league or even being talked about. So despite the "who brought you" factor playing a major role in your idea on Bitcoin, it is natural for you as an individual to be ideological enough to think outside the box after seeing things for yourself coupled with the knowledge you've gotten.

There is more to gain from investing in bitcoin than there can ever be in trading it, this much has been proven in bitcoin's history and will be proven even further in the future

Their is no better reason to trade your Bitcoin for small small gains, because trading cannot give to you comparing to what it can take from you as a newbie, so trading even with 10% of your total Bitcoin is myopic in my own understanding because you are just wasting your Bitcoin which might be very discouraging in your quest to get to over accumulation status.
So tempering with your holdings all in the name of trading is a route we really needs to avoid if we want to be successful in our investment.

This image just tells the whole story without even trying too hard.. So many persons still stuck on I will wait for the perfect entry mindset, they keep saying they will buy when Bitcoin drops to this or that price, but months pass and they are still standing on the same step, watching the market move without them. The funny thing is, even if price actually hits their dream number, most of them still freeze because fear kicks in…. Meanwhile, the person who decided to just buy a little bit consistently, no matter the price, is already halfway up the ladder without stressing over every chart move..

That is the beauty of DCA, you’re not chasing tops or bottoms, you are simply just building….  Some weeks you buy high, some weeks you buy low, but over time it all evens out, and the stack grows quietly in the background. The market timer might get one lucky shot and brag about it, but the DCA guy? He is in the game through every pump, every dip, every sideways chop. And before the timer even takes their second step, the DCA stacker is already miles ahead, and it is simply because they chose consistency…

It is so funny looking at how most people are craving for a bear market only to be seeing Bitcoin making positive up trends making them to miss out good buying opportunities, it is a clear indication that the market will keep surprising people with it's unpredictability meaning that timing the market is a wrong approach towards Bitcoin investment, there is no point of selling when we know too well that we have not transit to that level of considering selling part of our holding based on the size of Bitcoin we have and how long we have been holding, this should be the mindset of a real investor.

To be honest I'm  not in support of waiting to let price get to a favorable entry zone before buying bitcoins. In fact, waiting could mean you'll  never get to experience that price range you've  been waiting for a long time, because the market is indeed  volatile and prediction doesn't always go as plan. I could remember the early part of last month, we had several  person making prediction of bitcoin dropping down to a good buying position due to chart pattern. But price ended breaking another ATH which is $123k and market price is still around the ATH zone. The best approach to bitcoin investment that I've seen so far is accumulating bitcoin using the DCA strategy. You can imagine  a scenario where such person wanted to make an investment of $100 but waiting for the price to get to probably $75k but price didn't, it's  possible  he may end up spending the money after waiting  for a whole month and price didn't get to that level.  
But for someone  who's using DCA he might split the $100 into 10 part investing $10 weekly  while the remaining are kept as emergency fund. And it might be shocking to know that the person who is waiting  for price to get to a certain  level may not have an emergency fund to fall back to when emergency need arise, and may end up withdrawing from his Bitcoin investment.

Everyone has their own plans, and I don't think it's wrong to do that. Sometimes, people want greater profits or accumulate assets more quickly and in greater numbers. Although the risks involved in trading are significant, such bets are feasible for those who understand trading and have the confidence to do so.
I believe our goal is the same: to profit in the future, even if our paths and strategies differ.

And I do both: investing for the future by slowly accumulating Bitcoin using the DCA method. I also trade with different currencies, with the goal of accumulating more Bitcoin in the future from my trading profits.

We all have our own choice to do whatever we like with our funds because everyone will be responsible for his own action in the future. I wouldn't advice any new investor to have a divided mindset towards trading and investing because you cannot serve two masters at the same time. A new investor should only focus on growing his bitcoin investing with his ongoing DCA for 4-10 years and above in consistent and persistent manners. Trading will only distract you and lead you to losses because you cannot outsmart the market in the long run since bitcoin price is unpredictable due to her volatile nature.

Personally, I see trading as gambling because you are wasting your precious time, energy and resources on a practice that will lead you to losing your bitcoin in the long run instead of multiplying those quantities of bitcoin for you in the long run. Trading is the opposite of long-term investment. All traders have the confidence that they will make profit, if not they wouldn't trade but it does turn out to be the opposite.

Another disadvantage of trading and investing is that the person might not be able to discipline himself and after liquidating his trading funds due to losses from the market, he might decide to tap little from his bitcoin Invesment and believe that when he makes profit, he will return it back and he can continue this way till gradually, he liquidates his bitcoin investment overtime.
