I doubt that EarnOnVictor or the other guys promoting trading are doing as great when the BTC price goes into breaking upward periods, like it seems to be doing now, since they cannot really get the ups and downs correct, and then when the BTC price goes up, they are caught outside of their trade and with fewer bitcoin than they should have had.
Hahaha...you can't just cease to amaze me about this "trading" you always bring into the picture, where are you seeing that? If anyone didn't align with your concept of short-term investment, you assume it to be trading, but how? That is what you've not proven since, even as we are all learning.
You don't have to accept this, but in investing, there are short, medium and long-term investment methods, so why should I be forced to accept only the long-term investment scope despite having two alternatives left? However, the one you choose at a particular time should depend on your plan/vision for the asset (which is your own style you like people to always only believe) and the prevailing market condition (smart investing that needs variant methods). You can't expect me to be static by applying the same principle and strategy to different market conditions, that must have meant that I am not dynamic like the market itself, I am certainly not that kind of a person.
And if you must know, I HODL Bitcoin as well, only that I diversify my plan and strategy/approach, unlike you. Now tell me, who is smarter? The person with only one view at the mercy of a future that no one knows yet, or the person who varies his views/risks and has multiple approaches for earning and better management in case of the unexpected?
Lastly, DCAing and HODLing are not the only ways to earn through Bitcoin investment, I do apply them as well, but they can't and will never be my only way, you might also want to upgrade. I can't be a static investor, and again, we are not talking about trading here, it's all investing.
