Short term investors are always into short term investment because they don't have the ability to invest for a long term, they feel their money is being trapped.and scared that they will lose it at any slightest decline in the price of bitcoin and cannot yield them good profit or feels it is the same as compared to long term investment, that is the misconception they have, also some of they used loans for investment with interest which they can't go for long term because the interest will be accumulating.
Those who talk about short term investment I think are not actually real investors, they are traders. Therefore, there is a significant strategic difference between trading and long term investment. If trading strategies are applied to long term investing then it becomes almost equivalent to gambling.
Moreover, those who take loans with interest and invest that money are in an even more dangerous position, because no one can be certain when the market will rise or fall. However, the interest on the loan must still be paid whether there is profit or loss. Because of this constant pressure, the probability of making wrong decisions in trading or investing becomes extremely high. For this reason investing with borrowed money with interest should be avoided. If someone wants to invest in Bitcoin, it is safer to have a long term plan, remain patient and regularly invest by following the DCA strategy.
short term investment is a vague concept. anything that is lower than a 4 years is trading, so I wonder why that dude was calling it short term investing when it is just trading.
Anyone that can't keep their head straight because of their obsession over the little profit they will make with volatility are bunch of traders, there is no two ways about that.
If the loan cannot be afforded to be used for long time and there is no means to repay the loan they guys should stays the as far as they can from loans. Loans are not discretionary income.
