When an investor's main objective is to earn more profit through short term investments only he is financially long term chances of experiencing damage are greatly increased. I have realized from my experience that most of the newbie investors are interested in taking profits from short term investments. It would be a risky decision if an investor only wants to get profit some and most of the time they lose their capital. I think an investor should be flexible and tend to accumulate bitcoins by making long-term investment decisions based on the surrounding financial conditions. The rationality of managing long-term investments depends on financial consistency. There may be many obstacles in the middle they are temporary and the tendency to accumulate bitcoins permanently to face every adverse situation is the best investment policy.
Long term holding.
That's why minimum experience is required before investing because if you don't have basic idea about investing then you won't understand whether you should invest for long term or short term. As you mentioned that a newbie investor tends to suffer more losses as they invest in short term mainly due to their lack of investment experience. I think the short term investment will be successful only when he buys a large amount of bitcoins. For example, if a person buys 1 bitcoin for a short-term investment, the temporary increase will give him a return on his investment. On the other hand, if a person buys a small amount of Bitcoin for Bitcoin investment, it will not be able to give him any profit in a short period of time.
Moreover, we prefer long-term investments over short-term investments when it comes to Bitcoin investment. Because we are not able to buy large amount of bitcoins at once due to our financial ineptitude which motivates us to continuously buy bitcoins with part of our monthly income. By purchasing small amounts of Bitcoin we patiently commit to holding it for a long time.
