✅ Important lessons:
👉 Holding long-term is safer: If you are not confident in predicting the peaks and troughs accurately, hold your assets long-term. Bitcoin has proven its value growth over time. 📈
👉 Optimal trading has high potential but significant risks:
• Requires accurately predicting price cycles, which is very difficult in practice.
• Costs of trading, taxes, and susceptibility to emotional influences. 😬
👉 Focus on a solid strategy:
• If you want to trade, only use a small portion of your assets to reduce risk.
• For the main asset, hold long-term and let time “work its magic”. ⏳
🌟 Advice: Regardless of which strategy you choose, it is important to have a clear plan, discipline, and not let emotions influence you. What do you think? Please share your experiences or investment strategies! 💬👇
