There isn't a right or wrong move when it comes to investments. Long-term holding isn't for everyone; not everyone can rely on waiting long periods of time to generate profit. Some prefer to take action and actively trade despite the market situation. A few posts above, another user mentioned that he had bought at $18,000 and considered selling at $30,000, which was reached in the last few days. Honestly, that'd be a great profit in a quite short time period; thus, depending on the occasion, I wouldn't mind selling.
I'm all in for holding bitcoin; it provides me with peace of mind that trading cannot, but sometimes I'm getting tired and bored of waiting, to be honest.
If the uses the $18,000 to make the purchase then he's also making a profit for now. But the problem is whether he buys in large or small quantities because if he tries to make small purchases, the profit he gets is still low and in accordance with the capital spent. Deciding to actively trade is also great, as long as you are able to analyze the market carefully, but it can be quite risky for someone who doesn't understand the market and the easiest way is the long term.
That's why I prefer to make purchases using the DCA pattern and hold bitcoins in the long term, because different people have different opportunities and capital also affects the course of investment. Basically it's not a problem to sell bitcoins in the current conditions, but it must be carefully considered so that you can profit with the capital calculation.
It certainly depends on the amount he or she spent. Supposing that the said user bought a whole Bitcoin, that's $12,000 in profit that can be used as revenue or reinvested at a later date, when prices may be lower than today's. If it's a smaller amount, such as $500, then yes, I agree with you that selling wouldn't account for much profit; thus, it'd be best to use DCA to acquire a larger amount as an investment for the distant future.
Bitcoin investments is long-term investment, If you want to enjoy bitcoin, you have to endure and hold it for a long period of time and not for a short-term. If you are a bitcoin investor and you not holding the bitcoins for long term and you are holding it just for short period then you are not yet fully ready for the investment. And the best time
of buying bitcoin is the time when the bear is still down so that when the price rises up to your satisfaction then you market it out and make your profit from it. If to you want to invest now is still good to invest, Bitcoin will still rise more than$31k-$35, if you bought bitcoin at $20k wow if you want to sell now you will make a huge profit.You can buy and hold, buy in lesser and hold it for long-term, it is better to hold until bull runs season.
Uh, not necessarily. I used to make 6%–10% on average trading Bitcoin on a weekly basis a few years ago. I didn't use a large amount of Bitcoin; thus, my earnings weren't of huge importance, but most of the time, I had earned a decent side income by the end of the month.
