Trading and long-term investing

[RockBell]

Why are you making bitcoin investment scary as if you need the whole knowledge in the world or you must be an experienced person in bitcoin before you can invest and hodli for long. As long as you can figure out your discretionary income and the amount which you can use to buy bitcoin that wouldn't affect you emotionally or financially, you are good to start buying bitcoin with DCA.

Only the basic knowledge of bitcoin is needed to start investing because you learn more and gain experience when you have started investing. Don't think of selling soon invest for at least a circle.

In as much as it might look easy going with you, or most of us here, I don't think investment in bitcoin is that easy because starting out your Bitcoin investment journey is one thing, but staying consistent in your accumulation is another thing altogether, so it's not that easy as we think. But why it looks a lot easier for us is that we are knowledgeable enough to know how to manage any situations we find ourselves, unlike most newbies that are not that informed on how to navigate their way while investing in it

Nobody was born as an expert in bitcoin investment. We all started from the crash amd learned along side with practical. It's not compulsory for you to be buying weekly/monthly when you don't have the regular discretionary income. You can buy once in a while when your funds is available and hodli. The most important thing is that you should not sell what you have bought and use only the money that you can afford to lose to invest in bitcoin so that, you can hodli for long without any emotional temptation. We need to encourage each other in this space.

Exactly any one you see into bitcoin it was learnt but one thing is that people are always not paying attention to the basics and that is why you see some people complaining about Bitcoin been hard, so when you have interest in purchasing you still have to go for knowledge and that is why people don't even know the difference between trading and investing because when you have the right knowledge you will be able to differentiate between the two because people are confusing the whole thing and they need to able to differentiate.

And the encouragement is not the problem here no matter how you encourage them they will never do the needful so the best is for them,  if they want it they will do the needful because they need to be able to make that decision for them self, so we don't need to make any choices for anyone.

The price of Bitcoin is currently dumping a lot, but it is best to hold Bitcoin during this correction. And those who are patiently waiting to buy Bitcoin must have an opportunity to buy dips. You should take advantage of the opportunity to buy dips, because when the price of Bitcoin is dumping, there should be no panic, but rather, it is best to hold Bitcoin and it will be easier for you to achieve success.

For short term holders it is not the best opportunity to buy Bitcoin now because it may dip even more until the coming month which is February but for the long term investors they have every moment as their opportunity since nothing affects them even when the price dips more they can keep buying since they have plans to hold for as long as they want and they stand to make profit in years to come if they don't intend to sell at loss. Only newbies can panic during the dip and those who invested with loan but a good investor has nothing to panic because after now a new ATH may appear.

There is a difference between a trader and an investor. A short-term investor always waits for dips and sells when the price is a little higher than his purchase price. But a long-term investor prepares for a long period. And he buys it in small quantities from his discretionary income, and deposits it in a long period.

A trader likes to play with risk. And he himself does not know whether he will win or lose in this game. But for those who are trading experts, this is not a major issue. But for those who do not understand, it is a risk and a possibility of loss in a very large range.

Long-term investment, which an investor knows that at the end of the cycle their money can be able to bring him double the profit. But he has to invest only for a long period which is  than 4-10 years. This 10-year journey will not be easy at all for a long-term investor. But he has to be patient and make it easy. And maintain a long-term sustainable investment discipline by keeping an emergency fund.And It's going to ATH on February.

Trading is risky and it would require lots of time and effort to be an experts. Even as an experts or a professional, trading is still very risky although a trader can be
I agree with you, that trading is not possible to be perfect. Sometimes mistakes can be made, the risk of losing money through trading is a little high, trading cannot be an easy way to make money. One mistake can lead to loss of all the money. If we consistently buy Bitcoin with prudent money with long-term planning according to the right rules and hold Bitcoin for the future with confidence despite market volatility, then long-term profits can be expected in the future.

the problem with some people people is that they make the mistake of believing that trading can be flawless but fail to consider the underlying risks associated with trading and they even go as far as underestimating these risks. Trading is so risky and unpredictable to the extent that even those who are experienced can still end up making mistakes and lose quite a sizable amount of money, and this is the very reason why it's crucial never to view trading as something that is risk free or has a minimal risks because that is where the first misconception

In the new situation, we almost equate trading and investing. Trading and long-term investing are two completely different things, let us discuss these issues in detail below.

Buying a coin is not considered an investment, if a person buys a particular coin and sells it for some profit then it is considered trading. Investing is when you buy a reliable coin and try to hold it for a long time.

The difference between trading and long-term investing,
Since investment is planned for a long term, small changes in the market do not affect an investor, as a result of which the investor does not care much about this small fluctuation in the market. In this case, trading is different, the main purpose of trading is to earn a small amount of profit, to earn this small amount of profit, a trader always has to keep an eye on the changes in the market and when the trader thinks that the market has come down relatively now and he should buy a coin, he buys a coin and when the profit is as expected, he sells it. It is wrong to think that a trader will profit by trading, many times it is seen that a trader is facing a lot of money loss for a small amount of profit. Even if the market goes down a lot after investing in a long term plan, it is normal for an investor, but for a trader, a small dumping of the market can cause a lot of loss.

I’m not yet in a position to do the trading and investing being discussed here because I am still currently in the learning phase. Even after checking out how trading works in cryptocurrency
or Bitcoin, I don't fully understand it yet.

While buying and selling is easy enough, I don't have much of an understanding yet when it comes to reading or 'analyzing' trades on exchanges. Perhaps the only thing I can do for now
is long-term investing while I’m still studying what others call DCA. Based on what I often read here in the forum, investing in Bitcoin for the long term seems like the best move for me.

Trading and investment are two different entities with the aim of making money or losing.Both can make money or lose money.Inasmuch as they exists separately, people usually mistakes trading to be an "investment."On the other side,they entails very different scope, mindset, organization and discipline.Its a lot inaccurate to consider trading to be an investment.

Now we need to define how long it is considered an investment if you accumulate and hold it. There is probably no need to explain the issue of trading because many people do day trading or long-term trading. The reason for saying long-term trading is that many traders buy at a low price and sell only when they make some profit.

This attitude is seen among long term investors, but we are learning sustainable investment strategies when it comes to Bitcoin investment. In this strategy an investor has to take a long term investment target of 4-10 years and keep accumulation Bitcoin regardless of the price. This strategy can help reduce investment pressure for any investor.
