 I've been following different discussions about Bitcoin investment and here are some misplaced priorities in Bitcoin investment that I think people should avoid.
 I'll start by saying that Bitcoin is very precious and should be safeguarded instead of using some means of hoarding it that could make people lose what they have already.
Trading with Bitcoin
 Bitcoin is meant to be held for a longer time and trading with Bitcoin to get more Bitcoin is not the best way to go about it, it's highly risky and you could lose your Bitcoin if you're not careful so the risk isn't work it, although we can't force people to stop it but could guide them towards the right path and allow them make their decision, I believe that with time they'll learn from their mistakes when they've realised it's wrong.
Buying only during the dip
 This have been talked about in various discussions but then their are people who feel buying when the price goes down is better cause they could buy at a cheaper rate, I've seen some people who even pray for Bitcoin to dip so they could purchase it, what they don't understand is that they could miss the chances of owing more coins while waiting for it to drop, Bitcoin is not a shitcoin that can be pumped and dumped so it's better to buy according to the market while you also buy cheaper when a dip occurs, waiting is not the best option and people should take note of that.
Investing for short-term profits
 Bitcoin is currently an asset and the best way to make profits from it is by holding it for a longer period which is for a full circle and beyond, from my understanding the full circle is in about 4 yeara but one can chose to go beyond that like, 4 to10 year therefore people should be patient enough to invest on it for as long as that period instead of rushing to withdraw their profits whenever the price goes up, investing on Bitcoin is more of long-term than short-term profits, also you don't clear out your portfolio just because you've invested for a full circle, taking some stash of what you're holding and continue investing is the best way to go about it
Gambling with Bitcoin
 I know some people would be suprised at this point, since some campings in the forum permits gambling with Bitcoin but let's get it cleared, many people in the gambling discussion talks about gambling being seen a means of fun and entertainment rather than an opportunity for making money, though gambling comes with some profits out of luck but people, especially those who recently started investing in Bitcoin shouldn't involve their coins into an area that profits is gotten by chance it's very risky. Although their are people whose been investing for long and have got lots of Bitcoin in their portfolio they can decide to spare some for entertainment through gambling and make profits from it by luck, it's risky anyways but it's their choice.
 However the best way to invest in Bitcoin still remain buying and holding it for a longer period then use the DCA method to add more to the one you're holding.

Yea trading with our bitcoin is not the best there is as a bitcoiner but if you hodl a large portfolio you could still use some Satoshi for your trading since bitcoin is less riskier to trade with due to its moderate volatility compared to altcoins that are known for their high volatility.

If you command good trading skills and strategy and not some tradera that go into the market blindly then you could still be making some bulks with your trading while you simultaneously holding some bitcoin portfolio than trading with altcoins which high volatility could increase your trade losses to wins.

I agree with the third point that you mentioned but I don't quite agree with the other ones because they are based on choice , Bitcoin is a digital cash and you can decide to spend it on what you want.

Trading with Bitcoin: Bitcoin is less volatile compared to many altcoins that can be best described as shitcoins, so if you have trading experiences, it is safe to trade Bitcoin. I won't call Bitcoin trading a misplaced priority because a good trader can make profits from it.

Buying only during dip: During dip is the best time to buy Bitcoin, that is when you will get the best deal, as price starts to rally you will be getting more profit compared to who is buying when price is reaching ATH. You can choose to hold your funds in stablecoins when Bitcoin price is skyrocketing and buy when it starts to dip so it is a choice not a misplaced priority.

Investing for short term profits:  I agree with this point, people who have Bitcoin knowledge knows that it is very profitable if you hold for a long term, atleast for more than 4 years before you will get reasonable profits from your investment. Selling on the short term especially during dip is a misplaced priority. Unless you are in need of money for emergency and there is no other sources to raise money except selling your Bitcoin.

Gambling with Bitcoin: I wouldn't call it a misplaced priority if the holder has made profit on his Bitcoin and is using part of it to gamble, it is ok to reward yourself by taking some profits to do what makes you happy. It is also not a misplaced priority if someone specifically converts their fiat to Bitcoin for gambling purposes, if it is amount that they can afford to loose. But it becomes a misplaced priority if someone with the intention to hodl Bitcoin for the long term uses it to gamble

Using bitcoin to gamble on a casino platform is totally different from investing in bitcoin, so I see nothing wrong if someone chooses to pay for a service on a casino platform with bitcoin. The only time it is wrong to use bitcoin to gamble on a casino platform is when you keep on selling part of your bitcoin investment to gamble on a casino platform, which is not a good step that will help you sustain your bitcoin investment for the long term.

My brother you go think say eh no matter but eh matter alot, as a Bitcoin investor you no suppose deviate from the concept of Bitcoin wey be buying and holding for long-term. However you go see where I state am clear say we no fit force anybody to make the right choice but advise them on the right thing then allow then make their own decision, when they realise their mistake they go fall back to the correct way of investing on Bitcoin.
 Also, I know say one of the major purpose wey make oga Satoshi create Bitcoin na as a means of carrying out transactions but Bitcoin done graduate from that level and eh done turn into asset and people done dey use am as store of value so the best way to make Bitcoin as an asset yield profits na to hold am for long-term instead of to use am gamble or trade, moreover oga JayjuanGee done talk am tire say people no suppose to wait for market to dip before they invest on Bitcoin, if you really dey follow am up, you suppose understand by now.
 Anyways nobody dey force anybody to do those things wey I highlight na simple advice I drop so people no go risk and lose their Bitcoin, our people say advise no be curse.

Trading with Bitcoin isn't an entirely bad thing, it's only that it would interfere with the commitments of an investor to his accumulation process if he puts such two fingers in his mouth at the same time.

Gambling with Bitcoin isn't bad if the investor isn't using Bitcoin meant for enlarging his portfolio to gamble, the advisable 1 to 5% of income healthy enough to be gambled with might be held in Bitcoin.

Buying the dip isn't advisable for a newbie or anyone still very much early in his accumulation journey, but an advanced investor who's much near to his accumulation target can choose to continue buying only the dip until he reaches his target while still in his holding period.
