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.

When it dumps, thats the time to buy and wait for it to go back up and reach a certain threshold to sell.
What if the price never dump so you will not ongoingly invest huh? Dude the best time to ongoingly invest is when you have discretionary income that can be use. So fuck having to wait for dump price.

The price of bitcoin is hard to predict when it will dump or pump and so if you keep waiting for price to dump that will be a very dumb decision because you can keep staying a NO-COINER the more you stay waiting.

Just hold it until your 60 or something when it reaches $1,000,000 per btc.
Dude there is no benchmark for investing ongoingly. People can keep ongoingly investing even after they are 60 years.
I get tired of people who keep claiming that they plan on waiting for a DIP, buying during the DIP and then selling once the price recovers and still have the guts to call themselves investor, first off they are traders and beyond that there is nothing smart about deciding to wait for a DIP that you don't know might happen when you could have just been continuously investing the whole time, if a person is a trader they should call themselves traders and not try to confuse newbie investors into thinking waiting for a dip before buying and selling right after making a bit of profit is an investor's thing to do because it is not, a true investor will not wait for a DIP first before buying and will not sell immediately they get a slight sense of profit.
Everyone who always waits for a dip usually regrets it in the end because they don't always get their target price. Many even end up accumulating Bitcoin at a higher price because they never get the price they planned for.In fact, I have seen many people who lost the opportunity to invest in Bitcoin in the past just because they wanted the price to drop to their target before buying. But to be honest, some people never buy until now because every time they keep waiting for a dip, which is not always possible since the price of Bitcoin is unpredictable.Even recently, some people saw when Bitcoin's price hit a low point, but they refused to buy because they were expecting an even bigger dip. Now they are starting to regret why they did not buy during that period.If care is not taken, that is how they will continue regretting it, while forgetting this is  another opportunity to buy now.


It is better they accumulate at higher price than not accumulating at all  and waiting for the Dip is not advisable because the Dip is what we can not tell when it will happen and the level it will go even if it does come and sometimes the level at which it will dip can make some people who are not serious enough not to invest. It is good and advisable to accumulate little by little using the DCA method and consistency will give a good result.
Agreed, if you accumulate through the regular DCA method, you can buy at the lowest price and the highest price. It never wastes the good times of the market, at least for those who think that there are bad times or good times in the market. But in reality, there is no such thing as good or bad times when it comes to investing in Bitcoin for the long term. If someone can manage long-term investment with patience and according to the right plan, then Bitcoin can be the most valuable asset of the era. So rather than accumulating at all to catch the dip, regular investment in small amounts through the DCA method is the most effective, easy, safe and verified accumulation strategy, believe it or not.
Well many people understand the concept of DCA, but sticking to it, is where the problem is. consistency is one their major issue. Bitcoin is very volatile, so it's can change anytime. During those price changes especially the bearish period many people stopped buying because they felt uncertain about the market and we also have others who abandon DCA just to wait and buy the dip which might not even near their target. So these types of investors buy Bitcoin as a result of their weak emotions. Someone who uses DCA consistently won't be dealing with this kinds of pressure.
