alt Hacker NewsI dunno, probably only if you don't count for human psychology. If they bought N BTC and tried to held them, would they still hold them when they double in value? What about increasing 10-fold?
Compared to doing some work to getting 1 BTC per month, which you can then individually decide what to do with, instead of a lump sum you could cash out at any moment.
This was my great failure with Bitcoin. Bought in at $100, had many coins at $400. Sold most of it by $3000. Hard to not cash out when your investment goes 30x. In hindsight… ugghhh.
