This is a fact OP, lately people chase big profits instead thinking of what they could achieve on a long term, i know that the excuse many people have is that the economy is bad and they need quick profits to sustain themselves in times like this, the truth is that Bitcoin can be perfectly used as an inflation hedge but on a long term period of holding.
Not just holding but consistently adding to what you're holding to, chasing big profits is similar to gambling cause people who do that barely tend to hold longer, they risk what they have to hit it big in a short period, not minding that Bitcoin is volatile.
Absolutely right, they think investing or holding bitcoin its for the profit alone, they don't think there are essential things that they need to do to help them sustain them in their journey which its consistent and patience, as it will help them to navigate through pressure due to volatility of the market, as it also removes some of the emotion and panic that will make them to fall apart from their initial purpose. Of a true, the journey is not easy at all but accepting the process and working towards making it a success its all that is important.
Literally the main objective is profit. You want to succeed in every task you do on a daily basis but if it is not done properly you will not get the desired results from it. If your objective from Bitcoin is to make profit and that too for a short period of time, it will not be successful in most cases because your objective is greedy and there is no touch of discipline. To get the desired advantage from Bitcoin you have to stick to the long term DCA method and target a certain point.
If you do not have the available amount of funds, you will not get much success from being patient. If you have a volatile attitude while investing in Bitcoin and the need for invested funds arises, you will fail to invest in the long term. You will not have the fear of losing money if you can deposit Bitcoin regularly through discretionary income. Have a long term Bitcoin accumulation strategy and stick to your specific targets with discipline in every price trend.
