One of the most important attributes of a good and long term bitcoin holder is to master the act of been patient and that’s only possible if the investor actually uses discretionary funds to invest or possible some funds they can afford to lose as we mostly say it even most of us have large amount of money on bitcoin that we can necessarily be comfortable to lose.

Setting your profit goal or target is the first thing then holding onto that is one of the most important aspect of it, for me if it is for inheritance or even for a very long time like 10 years plus there is easily a way to do it by using the locktime method where you set the period of which the bitcoin will be sendable, this will automatically force one to hold because there is no way to actually send them out. This method most be careful thought about because there is no going back to it.

In my opinion, if someone wants to hold their money well through Bitcoin, then they should hold it like a bank fixed deposit. Think of a 3 year or 5 year term. During that time, you should not move any of your held assets. Because checking the market too much automatically creates confusion in your mind. However, in my opinion, setting a specific goal is the best option. When your goal in mind is complete, you will start spending your assets.

I thought you're want to say coins in centralized exchanges aren't yours, but actually it's a skill issue thing.

I don't buy any kind of psychological thing, if someone want to hold for long term and they have a skill issue to not able to control himself, then use timelock transactions, the problem will be solved.

I do nothing and I've hold for 3-4 years.

I don't know why you say it like that, but it's not like gambling, where when you feel tempted and do something, you basically lose money. When you have bitcoins, you have bought them earlier, and the price now looks good, and you get tempted and sell, I don't see anything wrong with that unless you might have had a higher target and sold them earlier but that's okay, you will only get lower profits but you won't lose anything.

Also, when someone makes an investment, they need to make sure that they are using funds that they don't need in the near future, so that they don't sell their assets back even before reaching the target they were looking for. When you use funds that were supposed to be used for the investment, you will surely have to sell your assets at one point, when you need the funds.

Accumulating more Bitcoin is what I did so far and I don't have a will to spend the most. I want to have more Bitcoin and buy it time to time while waiting my target time or target price come. I don't tempting to sell the most amount of Bitcoin in the near.

The only thing I will sell my Bitcoin is when the price hit my target in this bull run. After that, I will keep my Bitcoin for the next bull run in the next cycle. But I keep my most amount for a long term so I don't want to sell it quickly.

I understand your point which explains that as long as we have held something, it cannot be ours until we use it. This is completely acceptable because when we are not using it, it is not ours but it is definitely included in our ownership. It is the same as the land is ours but there are still a few issues with it and we do not want to leave it because of which that thing is not in anyone's name but it is definitely our property that we will get it when the time comes.

I also use various mental constructs, they help me to understand some entities and phenomena more deeply and not to deviate from achieving my strategic goals and objectives. 🧘

However, I do not think that my bitcoins do not belong to me. In my value system, there are things much more valuable than the first cryptocurrency. For example, health and life (mine and my family members).

I consider bitcoins good money, that is, money that is better and more promising than fiat money. What to do with good money? It should be saved, and “bad” and less “promising” fiat money should be spent. This is exactly what I try to do. 🌌

However, I have had to exchange my satoshi for fiat money more than once due to various life circumstances. Although I have always believed that it is better not to do this. 🤷

However, the map is not the territory (as experts in the field of neurolinguistic programming like to say).🤹 Our thoughts, our ideas, our plans and our mental constructs are not reality.  And when we face reality, we must act based on it, not on our plans (ideas, mental constructs). That is why I believe that Bitcoin (if I control the private keys) is my Bitcoin. I own, use and manage this cryptocurrency. And I can sell (or not sell) it. Depending on certain life circumstances.

I don't think this can be an effective way to prevent us from spending from the asset we are holding, what about if we consider time lock, whereby until a certain time reached before you can ha e access to it, we can as well make use of a safety storage whereby we don't have access to the coins as we safe keep the keys somewhere secured as backup to our wallet.

What nonsense is this? If something is mine, then it is mine and no self-measures can change that.

Such measures are needed in life by those who have an addiction, regardless of what it is - but unfortunately, they need much more than trying to control themselves. Besides, some people act like they'll live forever - I say that time is the most valuable thing we have, and what you don't do today you might not have the chance to do tomorrow.

My BTC is truly mine in the literal sense of the word, just self-custody and air-gapped wallets, which is quite enough to prevent me from spending it on something stupid.

I think that if someone doesn't have that much willpower and discipline to not touch Bitcoins that he/she intended for storing long-term, then the first thing that these people have to do is to work on it because it will help them in life and boost them in every way.
Anyways, there is one option for those who don't have high self-control. You can use timelock in this case. Timelock allows you to create a Bitcoin transaction in a way that the recipient of the output won't be able to spend them for a specific time. If you choose 5 years, you wont' be able to spend them for 5 years, doesn't matter how much you want it, so, it's a nice deal in this situation.
