There are many users who invest in Bitcoin and do not plan to hold it for a long time but have a short term plan. People who make short term plans have never been able to make huge profits that's why I would advise them to invest for long periods and Hodl. When you buy bitcoins you must plan to make high profits so you should always Hodl on to bitcoins.
Buying Bitcoin and just HOLDING it will give you little to even negative yields in the short term.
As a Bitcoin investor, you have 2 options to maximize your profit. It's either you will use that Bitcoin in trading, and that way, you can get more profits in a short amount of time, or just hold it and do nothing, but it will take time for you to get some profits. If you are holding Bitcoin, hold it for the long term (at least 3 years I would say) and I would suggest to just sell during the bull run.
We've seen many pundits predict that Bitcoin's price will peak in 2025 and reach an all-time high. Accordingly, we will see a bull market and therefore buy and hold bitcoins instead of selling them, but we can make huge profits.
I guess they're believers in the 4-year cycle that's why they said that it will peak in 2025.

I mean it peaked in 2017, then it peaked again in 2021. I believe there's a pattern to it, and markets move in cycles. I'm a believer in it that's why right now, I'm still accumulating Bitcoin in preparation for the bull run that "MIGHT" happen next year.

So you hold your bitcoins safe and wait till the bull season can change your life.
Buy hardware wallets if possible. For me, I'm only using Electrum, and have been using it for years.
