Sir your totally right, accumulating bitcoin is far easier than holding, cause that's a matter of disciple and character which it's not very easy to develop, no matter the strategy we use in accumulating bitcoin really doesn't matter, either you use a good and flexible strategy like DCA or you LUMP SUM it doesn't help you hold your bitcoin, can you have the discipline to hold even when the bear comes and bitcoin goes down in price, many people are very happy to hold because they haven't been in bitcoin for long enough, or started not up to six months ago when the price was still at 25, 35k or 40k and are now on a profit on their portfolio, some many be tempted to sell and acquire that small profit gain or some might still be patient untill the price starts falling then sell out of fear.
One thign I've come to understand and believe is that it's easier to buy than to hold, even sir Jay mentioned once that he sold of a potion of his bitcoin, and I believe that this thigns can happen to us as early investors but we must try our best to continue and learn from our mistakes until we can build that character that can hold for long.
And that is why it's good to invest your disposable funds so you won't be on much panic to sell out of over allocation since its an investment that you plan on holding for up to 20 years, yes its good to front load your investment if you have more funds and can bear the consequences of your action, but if your starting and with low capital then iys good to be less aggressive and plan yourself on how to raise your income or reduce your expenses.
Another reason many of us sell our holdings is due to inproper planing and building our emergency funds and reserves and floats, thus are like our backbones that help us to easily hold and still remove pressure from ourselves to sell, like emergency funds would easily help us when we have a serious challenge like a health issue or some sudden emergency we won't have to sell our holdings to fix such problems.
Some people also sell for lack of knowledge about bitcoin potential or pressure from no coiners and low coiners, I knoW this cause many persons that are well active and allocating here feel even more enthusiastic to hold more and as tho there are in the right track cause they are amongst a community of fellow holders.
