In my terms I will classify investors into two categories minor and major investors, those that look for short-term gains from 1 month – 1 year falls under the category of a minor investor, whereas a real investor is someone who does an investment based on a futuristic outcome, so to call yourself a real Bitcoin investor you must have the ability to buy and hold Bitcoin for mid-term to long term, or you are a long-term holder already regardless of the number of Bitcoin that you own.

It will just be called as currency if you intend to use it for transactions or any related activities does not include investment. Maybe a proper term for people like that is bitcoin user and not bitcoin investor. The only difference about bitcoin investors they are there as you said aiming to accumulate good profits either for holding it or invest it on other investments. Maybe some people got confuse about it but they should not think about it since its not really important matter to discuss.
It seems to me that everything is simple here, an investor is someone who buys bitcoin for the long term, while he understands when this is the best time, he waits for this when the bear market comes and tries to use the accumulation phases for this. Also, the investor most likely understands when he will sell, he determines the exit points in advance.If bitcoin is simply used as a means of payments, or for trading, short-term, or even medium-term, then this is not an investment, it is something else.

I believe that many of us if not all, use Bitcoin in many ways so that our bitcoins serve us with different use cases. Sometimes we use bitcoin as a digital currency for transactions. Other times, we use bitcoins for trading and investment.In my opinion, it's hard to say what Bitcoin is and it's harder to get agreement with others about this classification. Just say Bitcoin is Bitcoin and you're free to use bitcoin with any use cases it has. Because you will not be winner if you argue with another person who does not use bitcoins in a same way you do.
You have bitcoin, I have bitcoin, so fingers cross and smile together.
When someone has a particular wallet which he spends Bitcoins from can he be considered a Bitcoin investor?
Or does the term investor refer only to those who hodl Bitcoin?
Look at the definition of investment and then you will know who is a "Bitcoin investor". When you invest on something, you hope for the value to appreciate in the long run and then you sell it for profit. How can it be called investing in bitcoin if you are actually buying bitcoin to use it as a regular day day transaction currency? You spend it, you no longer will be making any profit. So yes, the term investor refers to only those who are holding bitcoin with the hope of making profit when the price goes up. It is the same for everything you invest on.Or does the term investor refer only to those who hodl Bitcoin?

rather, the term is suitable for those who bought bitcoin for money and hold it for a long time and will sell it at the price they want. And the one who has bitcoin in his wallet and spends it and somehow uses it also falls under the category of investor, but the user is likely to be right. Investors usually make few moves, most often it is a purchase and a final sale.
To simply say, anyone can be an investor as long as they hodl and they believe its value will rise over time as to compare to those who use btc for a short amount of time like using it for transactions, etc. There’s also a clear difference between traders and investors. Investors do the long game while traders try to make profit off of the volatility of the market which happens very quickly opposed to investing which can last for years.
If you already have BTC, even if it's a few and you're holding it for a certain period of time, you're in the investor class. Tthe general view of Investors is that people/companies/financial institutions have a lot of money that they can afford to buy BTC. Well, what @ndutndut conveyed is the component part. I can conclude that anyone who has bought and owns/holds BTC and is directly involved in buying and selling transactions, be it small or large categories, is one of them.
Holding for a certain period of time and already in the investor class? It seems that the investor class is not always the case, within a certain period of time it could be short-term and those who only buy Bitcoin for the short term are referred to as traders and only take advantage of Bitcoin price fluctuations for profit.
Not those who are only able to buy Bitcoin, but those who are able to buy and then hold Bitcoin for the long term, so that they will benefit from long-term holding.
Those who are directly involved in buying and selling Bitcoin are not always referred to as investors.
They have different goals, buying and selling for speculation in the hope of quick profits.

Both spending Bitcoins from a specific wallet and hodling them can classify someone as a Bitcoin investor. The term "investor" encompasses individuals who actively engage with Bitcoin, recognizing its potential for financial growth. Whether through spending or holding, they participate in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, taking calculated steps to manage their Bitcoin holdings. Both approaches involve strategic decision making, aligning with the core principles of investment. Therefore, both spenders and hodlers can rightfully be considered Bitcoin investors.Or does the term investor refer only to those who hodl Bitcoin?

Well, your scenario seems a bit strange, although it's quite relatable, but you still cannot compare the situation of a Bitcoin Investor to that of a landlord. The reason why I say so is because, even if someone spends their Bitcoin today for some personal reasons, if the person is a real Bitcoiner, he will definitely have the intention to re-buy the Bitcoin he or she has spent, and it can be replaced with a gradual accumulation, so we can say the person is still an investor. But for housing properties, you really cannot buy a house with $20 or $100, but with Bitcoin, it's just as easy to Begin to re-buy the Bitcoin you spent. Although I get your point, @Nwada001, my point is that it's very easy to re-buy the Bitcoin you spent today the next day, but not so easy for a house.

If you believe that Bitcoin sold out can still be gotten back by the holder with just a matter of time and determination, the same thing is applicable to a house owner. For me to be able to own a house today because of a predicament, I sold it out to solve that issue. If I'm determined to buy another house, I can still do it. The same determination that's required for an investor to grab back his investment is also the same thing that someone could use to buy a new house.
You can also say that Bitcoin could be purchased with any little amount of money in one's hand since it's divisible in nature. The same thing can also happen when it comes to landed property. With the little money one has, you can go for whatever you can afford. But for the main time, provided that you are no longer in possession of either the property or the bitcoin, they don't see you as qualified to be called an investor until you decide to own them back. Only then can the title return to you.
Regarding the premise that the investor's status is tied to their possession of an asset, I respectfully disagree. An investor, in my view, is someone who spends not just money but also time and effort learning about the market, making strategic decisions based on that knowledge, and then reflecting on and improving upon those results, whether or not they are lucrative.

Simply an individual who bought something with hopes that its market value will increase and that profit will be earned. If you have some holdings in your wallet and you tend to use it on its sole purpose, then you are either a consumer or user of this technology. The difference between a consumer and an investor is with regards to the purpose and intention and the extent of how would he/she make use of that particular thing. However a consumer can also be an investor if the sole reason to why they have engaged into this industry is to spread awareness and to look forward with profitable future.

Bitcoin users are people who spend Bitcoin in a buying and selling activity.Or does the term investor refer only to those who hodl Bitcoin?
Investors are people who own assets and set profit targets for a certain period of time.
A certain period of time is further divided into several parts such as long term and short term.
More or less. There are many sources that you can use as a reference to find the difference you mean.

Saying he is means he should still be holding some of those Bitcoins, because I'm a one-time landlord of some old properties somewhere, which, because of some personal challenges, I sold out, and I no longer have a house of my own but am now a tenant to another landlord. Will I still be called a landlord? I will consider using the past tense "Was" on such a person who has bitcoins but has spent them, rather than saying He "is" a landlord. Because they are no longer in possession of what gave them that title.

I don't consider those people bitcoin investors, they are just pure users as they use bitcoin as a currency to pay their daily bills.
An investor hodls his bitcoin long time like more than one year but he can have different wallets. Hodl wallets for investment and smaller wallets with small amount of bitcoin to use daily or when needs to use bitcoin for payments. You can not say a person who uses bitcoin as payment method is not a Bitcoin investor.You can not know which wallet belongs to who and who is he, trader or investor.
If I don't tell you, you will know know what are my Bitcoin wallets, addresses. You don't know how many wallets I have and how I use each wallets for payment or investment.
I don't want to go into specifics like you, nobody really cares what you're using bitcoin for. What I mean here is that many people see bitcoin as an investment, but there are still some who see bitcoin as a currency just like Satoshi created it. As for whether they disguise or hide what they do, nobody cares. Not everyone who owns bitcoin is an investor, although I don't deny that 99% of people enter the market for the purpose of making money and becoming an investor.

The focus in this case is back on the Investor. We know that Investors are people who keep or invest in bitcoin over a longer period of time so in this case when it comes to shopping or trading I would not say that as an investor but as a trader.Or does the term investor refer only to those who hodl Bitcoin?
The conditions may be a little similar, it's just that when traders even hold bitcoin but they realise that their goal is not for the long term which makes them try to buy and sell bitcoin but it's different from Investors because they have their own targets both in time and the progress of profits to be obtained as the ultimate goal.

a person or organization that puts money into financial plans, property, etc. with the expectation of achieving a profit.
Source: Oxford LanguagesFrom the definition above, simply put, we can mean that an investor is anyone who spends money to buy something that he hopes will bring profits within a certain period of time. Likewise with Bitcoin. Investing in Bitcoin means that someone spends money to buy Bitcoin at a certain rate and then sell it back at some point. the hope is to bring in profits. What differs a little is how long we invest as Bitcoin investors, whether for the short-term or for the long-term.
