I think those who are currently investing in Bitcoin for long term will not be disappointed.

No, ongoingly investing for long time is not a guaranteed automatical.success. Mate nothing is set in stones tthat the price of bitoin will later do very well after many cycle.So quit believing that all long time investors will not be disappointed. Play your part and mange risk by ongoingly investing with just the amount that person can afforded to loose. Also too have emergency money with you for emergency that comes out.

You both are just saying the same thing, it's true that bitcoin investment is not guaranteed even though we're investing for long term investment. But whoever that is expecting profit in the long term is not making unrealistic expectations because if you track the movement of Bitcoin over the years you will see that anyone who invest and HODL for Long term won't regret because there has been an increase in the value so this make most investors to believe that Bitcoin investment is profitable if we invest and HODL for Long term investment.

The uncertainty is a preparation that you can be aware of and prepare for. If you are expecting short term gains, it can create financial risks for you but accumulating Bitcoin through discretionary income as a preparation for risk is the best consideration for you. Past price movements are a sign that the price of Bitcoin can reach even greater heights in the future.

Although we undertake our investment activities to be personally profitable, we should regularly DCA and strive to build a decent portfolio to reach that level of profitability.

Let's assume that you right by supporting those who claimed that Bitcoin investment is risky, whats the right, of course volatility right? Is volatility actually that risky, I'm trying to argue here but I want us to keep these facts in mind, Bitcoin might be risky but it's risk can not be compared with that of other investments, every investor is advised to invest with their discretionary income because the reason you and other reasons too, over emphasizing on these risk is what I do not like because we know that the risk can be managed very well if we understand it and to me I do not even see it as risk as such.

Shitcoins has never been an investment, it is gambling and anyone doing it should better have it mind that the possibility of him losing is very high, I think those garbages are not meant for those that has a futuristic prospect, my advise for all is think wise and think Bitcoin for a long-term investment.

When people plan for short term investment then price volatility may create inconsistency in investment that is why people are always told to plan for long term investment in Bitcoin. When a person plans for long term investment in Bitcoin i.e. at least 2-3 cycles then he has enough time to observe the market and during that time he can take appropriate decision about his Bitcoin portfolio as per the time suitable for him. I think those who are currently investing in Bitcoin for long term will not be disappointed.

Short term investors are those investor that does not really see long term investment as being necessary or important because they feel it's waste of time and money

There are some investors that believes that long term investment ties their money down and it's always not profitable as compared to their short term,

Bitcoin is meant for long term, those that are involved in short term investment are also known to be traders because they keep buying and selling bitcoin often and taken profits since they cannot hold on for long-term, which would have being more profitable to them at the end of the investment .

Much smarter and more calm idea than chasing fast wins to make money is to build Bitcoin collection by taking slow path to buying only that amount of money you have left over at end of the day, so that you are not worried by changing price of asset. People who buy small amounts mostly will be more successful since they will think of Bitcoin as insurance plan against poor economy other than betting.

This brick by brick plan is useful since small number of Bitcoins helps its fast growth compared to saving money in bank account, yet you should not spend all your money on Bitcoin in case you cannot sell coins when price falls.   This is only way that you could reach your goals without having to take too much money risk.

It has been said severally that investing in Bitcoin must not happen at the expense of having a financial stability meaning that you must not be financially stable before you can invest, what is primarily ascertain is your ability to figure out your discretionary income to invest even when you are not financially stable but working on your financial situation, no doubt about the importance of financial stability towards the sustainability of your investment but you must not be financially stable before you can invest, you can be investing and working on yourself.

Okay, no problem but what I need to ask you is what if someone only has the ability to determine discretionary income while their income is very limited If what I said is wrong do you think I'm wrong I'll wait for your answer on this?

Another reason I can say is that investing still requires strong capital. There's no problem with someone having only limited capital but they certainly have some finances or income even if it's a very small amount compared to others who may be financially sufficient to invest. And I think it's not enough to just have the ability while the main thing that is prioritized in investing is capital in the form of finances that a person has so that when they have the finances their steps in investing in Bitcoin will not be delayed any longer.

I do not agree with the statement that traders often withdraw profits because even successful traders in this world cannot withdraw profits often. The success rate in the trading section is very low because there is very high risk.

And those who think that if you invest on a long-term basis, your money is stuck, their idea is right but money is generated from that stuck money, that stuck money is called investment. So it is important to invest in Bitcoin regularly rather than staying away from investing in Bitcoin.

One of the main reasons for investing with discretionary income is to avoid putting yourself under unnecessary financial pressure. You don't have to sacrifice your basic needs or live uncomfortably just to invest. Your daily expenses should always come first and investing should come from what is left and not from what is needed to survive.

When you invest money you can afford to lose you’re less likely to panic when the market fluctuates and it also prevent selling prematurely. It also  help you to be consistent since the money is intended for investment it becomes easier to stay disciplined and keep investing and this doesn't apply to Bitcoin investment alone but all types of investment

That's true, the basic needs is also important because as human you'll need to survive so when someone use the money for survival for investment it's like a waste of time cause in the long run you'll still use the money you realise from what you invested in to survival which mostly happen when the investment is still on a short-term, so automatically you've gone against your intentions of investing which is for long-term purpose.

 Also, an investment option like Bitcoin doesn't really guarantee success since the future is unknown so it's best to invest with the spare which is also the discrestionary funds rather than the money meant for basic needs.

There are some investors that believes that long term investment ties their money down and it's always not profitable as compared to their short term,

At this point, I don’t even have words for anyone that says long term investing is not necessary and they prefer short term while investing in Bitcoin. it just shows not everybody is financially smart, simple as that.

Because I don’t see any reason why someone would say short term investing in Bitcoin is smarter or better in the long run.  
Sometimes I feel like people should just calm down and study the history of those who have actually built real wealth and are financially solid today.  you will notice something common, 90%+ of them did not build it through short term moves. It took a lot of patience, time, and long term plays to get there.

Same thing applies to Bitcoin, if you want something sustainable from it, then chasing quick profits and jumping in and out of charts every time is not the way. That is just plenty stress with no real direction.

There are already proven patterns people have followed for years to become successful Bitcoin investors.  those same patterns are being shared here openly now. Yet some people still want to force short term into everything.

That's true, the basic needs is also important because as human you'll need to survive so when someone use the money for survival for investment it's like a waste of time cause in the long run you'll still use the money you realise from what you invested in to survival which mostly happen when the investment is still on a short-term, so automatically you've gone against your intentions of investing which is for long-term purpose.

Because matters related to needs are certainly the most important for all humans. Therefore when asked which is more important investment or needs I think many choose needs because the absolute necessities of life are more important than prioritizing investment. This is because it requires thinking when someone says that investment is far more important than the needs that must be spent. Moreover sometimes the income earned by a person is consequently only enough to meet needs which prioritizes human responsibilities to their family therefore needs are prioritized over investment.

One should not be aggressive about Bitcoin investment at all

It's not a wrong move to invest aggressively when you can from your discretionary income because investing aggressively will help increase your bitcoin investment in a faster pace than when you have the funds to invest aggressively and you didn't. It's when you invest over aggressively that it becomes a problem since you are investing beyond your discretionary income and that becomes gambling.

For the fact that we all are different people with different mindset and different financial capabilities with different responsibilities (probably different beliefs toward Bitcoin), proves that some investors with a very small responsibilities can chose to buy Bitcoin aggressively from the money on their discretionary income and such investors will not have any challenges at all because they have less responsibility and they are also financially empowered.
However, the issue is not about buying Bitcoin aggressively but based on my perspectives, I think the issue is the inability to control the aggression toward buying Bitcoin. The thing is to Know Your Limit.
One disadvantage of not buying Bitcoin aggressively when you have the money is that it slows down the accumulation process, and slowing down your accumulation process also delays your goal, and such people will likely miss out good opportunities. I believe this is as a result of being too careful, but truth be told that being too careful most times is not far different from taking higher risk.

Actually, the advantage of buying Bitcoin aggressively when you have the money is that you will achieve your goal early, and you won't start to rush I the future when you have more responsibilities and less money as discretionary income, and lastly you will probably have control.

There's one important thing which some people don't understand about discipline when it comes to Bitcoin investment, and it's also one of the reasons why so many people don't achieve their goal quickly on investment.
The truth is that some investors think discipline is only not to overdo thing but it's far more than that because that will not help them achieve their goal quickly. Discipline also means that you should use opportunities properly when you see them. But some people don't because they mix it up with overdoing which keeps them in one position for a very long time (as they also want to be more careful, meanwhile being more careful sometimes is same as taking more risks).
But taking advantage of opportunities properly, they need to do them with the money on your discretionary income, and they need to understand what they are doing so that they can also have a clear plans.

There’s a reason why there’s different between want and need , need are  the essential things required in our daily lives . Want is something one desire and can apparently live without , so when we hear “reduce your expenses”it often means  reduce your desire (which want ) because is something one can literally stay without , so as an investor we should know how to differentiate between want and need , to improve our investment , many have enough cashflow to handle their investment but due to not being able to differentiate their want from their need they endup given themselves excuse why they can’t invest .

Bitcoin investment is not actually just like every other Investment, I don't agree with that because most of the Investment you are talking about, they don't actually use discretionary income on them which means they can not afford to lose those investment but in Bitcoin investment what is advise to use is a discrestionary income ( money you can do without) and an investor who used a discretionary income won't really put all hope on it but they live with faith that it goes as planned as it has been going since it existence.

I do not know the point you want to make but all I know about the reason why every investor is adviced to invest with their discreationary income is for easy and unpresured accumulaton of Bitcoin that might warrant them to think of selling at anytime, I may have said this countless times and ready to keep saying it, to my understanding we do not use discreationary income to invest in Bitcoin because it is what we can afford to lose alone, personally I think that is not what discretionary income only means, the purpose for discreationary income is for investors to invest in Bitcoin without going outside their means and complaining later.
