Hi crew. Hope you are all well in new 2022. Good moment to buy btc or eth?

The decision of when to buy rests on the person who is making the purchase as it would depend on a matter of factors; Someone who is buying in for the long term hodl does not bother about short term price changes and believes that in 10+ years the value is going is to much higher.
Someone who is not buying for the long term are usually more picky about when to buy and would not want to purchase when the price is on the way down. This is much more risky and would require some technical analysis and some luck as well.

I was thinking about long term. Thanks for response.

Sure, nice idea, I am thankful for advice. REgards.

Just the right time, bitcoin is almost half of its ATH, so view that as an opportunity to buy. The market has been bearish in the past few months and I think it's not the dip yet, be more patient and wait for a cheaper amount. Buy BTC and ETH, prioritized it, but also consider other altcoins which has some big market as when bitcoin dump hard, they'll dump harder.

The way the market has started to decline, it seems that the market will be more dumpy. However, the market has been dumping a lot at the moment, but you can buy now if you want The market may go up again. Those who invest here do not invest in seeing market pumping dumping.But for those who want to invest in the short term, it may be best to invest now.

Depends on your choice but basing off with technicals then price could dip down further but if you could take risk on entering with these current prices of Btc and Eth then it would depend on your
own choice to make because some would hesitate and some would see this as an opportunity.This had been always been the hardest part on which you couldnt determine on which would be
the possible bottom price and this is where personal calls and decisions would really vary from time to time.For me, its not a bad thing to accumulate or simply
make out some DCA strat for this one.

First question: why you want buy crypto coins? If you answer "money" in some parts you will never find a good moment to buy btc or eth. The best option is always " buy technology" !
It's always a good moment to buy !
Second question: You want exchange your coins for fiat money?
what is your time frame? if you have some specific/hence short time frame... you can't find the right moment.

Depends on how much you have lying on your pocket idly. Personally I believe that the prices will still go down in the near future due to some weak hands letting go of their bitcoin in fear of losing a lot more in the process. Personally I would just wait for the prices to go even lower and buy them up immediately in hopes of flipping them for a profit. Of course it may be overly optimistic but from the looks of things, after the weak hands sell, it's just a sideways market from that point forward and one should not worry too much—at least that's the way I see it.

Buy now and don't think twice. Every time we see a situation like this, this opens an opportunity to fill our portfolio.

Bitcoin is down 11%, that's a huge fall and eth is even down 15%.
This is what I'm saying, bitcoin dump and altcoins will dump even worse, but in terms of opportunity, this is it, if you'll buy now you might gain in short term as eventually, it will recover, that's what volatility is.

My advice for coin was just given in a different thread.



I am anti ETH in general

So My advice it to do something like above.

25% of your money  today on BTC hodl it for 4 years

75% save for more drops.

say
35k
30k
25k

or

34k
27k
20k


I would stay away from ETH

but

if you insist

do this

20% on BTC 5% on Eth today hold no mater what for four years

save 75% of your money for more drops

20% BTC 5% Eth. say at 35k and 2500
20% BTC 5% Eth  say at 29k and 1900
20% BTC 5% Eth  say at 23k and 1400

or

33k and 2400
26k and 1700
19k and 1000

good luck

^ Definitely right it is now a moment to invest in crypto, everything was dropped in the market price and I think this is the right time.
But let me ask you, how much that you are willing to invest? Because we don't know when until this drop going on if you invested that you can afford of course you can wait for even the price drop further more. Right at this moment based on the coin market cap, BTC dropped 12% and ETH dropped 17% which is perfect timing to purchase again.

Indeed, this time is perfect to accumulate more potential coins. But if you have limited budget, yes its a good suggestion to wait for further price drops as we are quite sure that this bearish market won't easily recover. However, if you have that huge amount of funds, then try to buy in every dip. After  all, any coin that is lower when you bought and will sell at its peak, there are still good profits waiting ahead.  But i suggest, reserve for a higher allocation for bitcoin and maybe half of it goes for ethereum too as it never loses its demand despite of its high gas fee.

Well, I'm just fine despite the downtrend. I hope you do well as well.

Anyways, you've got in time to look for investment since the market is going down. I suggest making a buy option now as the price is a little bit cheap. BTC or ETH? if you have a huge amount to start, better take the two but if not, you better consider Bitcoin first. Perhaps, I did already and I'll buy more if Bitcoin will drop more, just the old days. The bigger amount we invest the bigger returns to expect.

Depends on how you anticipate the next possible move. Hug the dip instead of taking it as the worst trend.

If you asked me personally, yes it's a good moment to buy those coins at their current price.

It's by far the best thing to do instead of asking that question when BTC is now upward trend again.

It really depends on the person, his capability and his goals why he is buying at this moment.
Can you hold a lil bit while waiting for the market to go up again?
But if your funds is for your everyday expenses, I don't think that's a very smart idea.
Because if your funds are tight, you may end selling at a loss also.
So you need to assess your financial capability. Can you hold a lil bit long while waiting for the market to be in the positive direction again?

You don't have to always ask for this advice every bitcoin dip. What's more is that your background is not that of a trader, you need to consider bitcoin's long term potential. I consider the last 11 years to be a good time to accumulate bitcoin, because:
No more than 50% of the average population in every country in the world knows about bitcoin;
No more than 40% of the population of major countries owned bitcoins (source (https://www.statista.com/chart/18345/crypto-currency-adoption/));
Only 1 country that makes bitcoin a legal tender, several countries have potential.

After the penultimate fall of bitcoin, I think it was in May, I saw a cool avatar of one guy with an avatar with a non-intrusive advertisement about buying Right Now and with an indicator of % profit. I remembered this because it made me smile when I saw today's crash and I bought another $70 worth of bitcoin at $36,000, I'm poor so this is a significant amount for me. In short, I definitely choose Bitcoin over the excrement of a Russian botanist.

There's no such good moment to buy coins, do you think someone can predict BTC or ETH prices when the lowest and the peak each day? Obviously it's not a human anymore. Altcoins (e.g. ETH) usually follow Bitcoin price, so we should focus on Bitcoin price only. Now the price were around $36K and based on previous halving event, it's expected the lowest will be around $16K but we don't know if it's come true or not.

Even Bitcoin price fall, but many people start buying the dip since the stablecoins price doesn't increase, it's fall too. So buying the dip is the better options.

It depends on your time horizon and belief about the fundamentals. Those who are believers in the technology tend to be less affected by price movements. Bitcoin and other cryptos are notoriously hard to time. I also wouldn't ask random people for investment advice. Whether or not you should invest has to do with your risk tolerance, knowledge, and belief in particular cryptos.

That said, it's worth pointing out that it's much better to buy bitcoin now than at the all-time high, and even El Salvador is buying now.

Pretty much yes? Most dips are a pretty good buy in-s imo, It's just that it's not a guarantee that dips would lead to pumps, so it ultimately ends up in what you're willing to risk, and are you willing to risk it. If you're too afraid to invest too much all at once, you can try doing DCA maybe? If the market does indeed fall down, at the very least, you'd have jumped at every buy opportunity there was so even if it pumps, you'd still profit (just not as much if you invested it all). Or you can wait for more dips before buying in, slowly.

I prefer to buy bitcoin than ethereum in this dip because bitcoin is promising to increase later and bitcoin is the main investment.
If I have many funds available, I will buy both bitcoin and ethereum but if it is not, I will buy bitcoin.
That will depend on how much funds you have to determine which coin you should buy but it is okay if you buy both bitcoin and ethereum even if you have limited funds.
I hope you do not confuse to decide but before you buy bitcoin or ethereum, make sure you analyze both so there will be no regret in the future.

I think most old school investors here prefer to have Bitcoin in their wallet and hold on it as compare to Ethereum. Nothing against Vitalik and his invention, but Bitcoin is the prime mover in crypto no matter what they say.

So for me, I will stay with BTC, and since we are in a bear market now, it's better to buy and fatten your wallet and do the old but very effecting HODL strategy.

If you want to buy bitcoin but don't know when to buy, I would suggest you to be updated with all the latest news of bitcoins. You must be informed with every rise and fall of price.
As for me, It is better to buy bitcoin win the price is low and hold it and sell it when the price is high.But before buying any cryptocurrencies,you should take a look at your wallet as well. You have to know how much your budget is.Never put more in crypto because as we all know crypto is a little bit risky.

 

Centralized shitcoins like ethereum with unlimited supply, mutable blockchain and no real world usages are never good investments specially if you are looking for long term potential. The only hope for them is pump and dumps.
So your only option is bitcoin.

I will advice you to buy bitcoin, the bear market may continue, but in the next 4 years, bitcoin should reach $70000 again. If you invest at $35000, you will gain.

But why are you buying now? For long time purpose or just for short time? If it is short time, ignore my advice. This is a very good advice, I too like to advice people on this way, to have some of their money not invested but invest part of it  so if the price continue to drop, the person can invest more and more. It will be a very great and massive profit when the price increase.

but for now, the market is not in a good state. entering without good market analysis considerations could trap us for a deeper correction.
Don't be in a hurry to get into the market. we must understand before putting in our money. either BTC or ETH I guess nothing to argue about. I'm sure they both have their specialty. many suggestions will go to BTC, we can even sell our altcoins for BTC at a time like now.

Do DCA even with technical skills. You arent precisely can predict or catch the bottom of this. So doing buying with different price isnt bad unless you are lucky to finally buy the bottom but thats a rare thing to happened right? Lile you are all in on a bottom price. The next day it dip more. So definitely its gonna be blood shed. So better do dca so you can average your position at least.

best to wait for at least a week or 2 becuase this dump is just starting and will surely run for long and waiting is the best way to buy in the lowest value.

and also buy them both, buy Bitcoin and buy Ethereum because these 2 coins valuing now with so much low compared to the early price this year.
now bitcoin is almost half of the price from the ATH this is really a discounted price .

Exactly, and more especially, what's your time frame for this investment. The problem is we still haven't fully grasped the understanding of crypto investment that, only if you are a "well trained" trader that can handle the daily swings, doing DCA for a long time is a better way to invest in Bitcoin because like you said, the probability of you buying the bottom is rear so DCA over a long time will give you a better chance of profits.

Well, the price is currently being dumped, and if you're aiming to own bitcoin or ethereum, now might be a good time. within 7 days, bitcoin price fell 17%, and ethereum 25% by coinmarketcap. Yes, this is a good opportunity. Right now, I'm also aiming to buy some coins, but I'll probably buy BNB because it's still quite affordable. You can wait for lower prices, but there is a chance for a bounce back to occur.

Never get it to doubt as these two coins are of the best cons in crypto market, to buy them at this price is somewhat a huge opportunity that we don't need to miss.

Were not going to wait until the last drop. Since we don't know what gonna happen, it was best to take this time.
Buying at $38k(BTC) and then waiting for the recovery. BUY, HOLD, and SELL...We did exactly what we needed.

60% BTC
40% ETH

Yes, btc was my first choice and idea to buy this days. Thanks for your detailed explanation.

It really depends on your instinct if you can handle such losses that you can’t control. Both BTC and ETH are subjected to susbstantial risks and price cannot be predicted without warning. I was planning to do DCA every month for BTC, which means no matter what the price is, I should be buying and I’m aware of the risks. I can say both BTC and ETH are great long-term coins to buy and hold if you are a long term thinker.

Current prices are really cheap when compared to it's ATH levels. This is indeed a good time to buy according to me.
But that doesn't mean that the price won't fall further. It's all just speculation and we can never predict a good time to buy.
If you are indeed going in long term as you say in your posts then this is definitely a good time to enter and buying some BTC and ETH sounds like a good idea to me.
But make sure you save at least 30% of the amount you are going to invest in some stable coin so that if the prices fall further then you can buy some more.

Firstly, invest only what you are willing to lose op. One of the most common mistakes that crypto investors make is ignoring this particular rule which screws them big-time when they run into losses later on.

Secondly, I feel that this is an amazing opportunity to scoop up some BTC since I am confident that it will rise back above $45K in the next couple of months for several reasons.

I will choose to buy bitcoin instead of ethereum, although I know that ethereum can increase higher. But if we compare it with bitcoin, ethereum can not beat it. Buying bitcoin is more than enough to hold so we do not have to feel difficult to monitor the price but many people will buy both bitcoin and ethereum because those coins can give them a big return in the next bull run. We do not know when this dips over so we can try to buy for some amount and divide our buy order into many parts as that can help us to get bitcoin at many low price ranges.

I agree that both BTC and ETH are worth buying, because they both perform great. I prefer to invest in both,  because it's too focused on one coin
in my opinion the profit generated will not be maximized. But because until now Bitcoin is indeed the best in the crypto world, the percentage of
capital used to buy BTC should be bigger. I also always keep some of the capital I have in stable coins, to prepare for the worst case scenario
if the market goes back lower, I can still buy more. Even though BTC and ETH are potential coins, doesn't mean it's easy to make a profit.
It takes knowledge and careful planning, in order to succeed in getting a profit from either BTC or ETH.

If you're thinking long-term, I think it's indeed a good time. The price is unbelievably low right now, and I have no doubt that it will recover and surpass the former ATH eventually. So it's a great chance to buy, as long as you're not going to be worried if the price gets even lower. If you can buy and just wait for at least a year, it's a good opportunity. Also, the more people buy the dip now, the faster the market will recover. So it's also  away of helping Bitcoin out of its current trouble. Just remember the most important rule: only invest what you can afford to lose. Whatever decision you make, good luck.

I agree with you now is the right time to buy bitcoin or big alcoins like eth and binance, but I'm waiting for the price to go down I'm sure the lowest price is not today, definitely tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is the right time to buy bitcoin.

Good period to make your neat and clean portfolio. If there is someone who regretted the buying of crypto specially bitcoin then here you go they have bestowed upon us with showering discounts. Completely out of imagination and don’t know how lower it would go.

This is gonna be win win situation as many of the millionaires gonna buy in this dip as they see it as an opportunity for the future trades. So walk hand in hand or loose the chance to buy it all.

Looks like the dump is not over yet.

Bitcoin now is at $35k, and as bitcoin continues to struggle, we will see the cheap altcoins flashing with some heavy losses daily. It's not good for those weak hands but good for those who accumulate. From the current price, I think $20k + is just waiting and big altcoins dump cannot be prevented from happening.

It's the best time unless the price drops even more. But I expect a rise in a few months time. Especially for ETH when it goes POS.

The problem is not about having a nice entry point to buy the issue is will the buyer be disciplined enough to hold on even when the price depreciate further. Crypto investment comes with lots of unpredictable surprise. I will say buy If only you can hold no matter what turns out in the market. I would rather advice if you have emotional issues it's better to buy when the market turns bullish so you can stay on the profit lane.

Do you have money lying around? Can you afford to lose all your investment that you put on bitcoin and ethereum? Then yes, this dip is a good opportunity to buy bitcoin and ether. If it is going to be a small investment, then buy bitcoin. The ethereum network fee is too high and it is not worth buying few dollars of ethereum unless you aren't planning to move them from an exchange. If you are going to invest some good amount of money, then invest in both and hold them for long term. The price is almost half from the previous ATH. Make use of this opportunity to invest as much as you can.

I think waiting for the right time is not right now, but if you are impatient, maybe now is the time.
I'm sure maybe in a few weeks btc will go down again.
so be patient waiting for the cheapest price to get a big profit in the future.

We are currently in a bear market and I personally prefer to divide the portion if I want to buy now...

in current condition if i have more money to invest in bitcoin and ethereum then i will buy 60% on bitcoin and 40% on ethereum. both will definitely return to ATH so don't waste your chance now.

Your question is pretty much short and you didn't provide much information about your case, for example, I can tell you bitcoin is always profitable at any price and any time if you aim for the long term while if you go for short term and special if you are a new investor in this market you can lose a huge amount of money in this market that's why I'm suggesting you have a money management plan and have your own goals and target also try to aim for long and the term also doesn't invest the money you need or you will need in the future if you obey all these rules anytime is a good time to buy bitcoin regardless of the price.

Currently, I'm in 100% fiat, I think the bearish market is starting like 2017, now it is wise to stop investing money.
In this correction situation, we have to speculate properly and have to wait until the market becomes a bit stable.

I have just seen that the monthly MACD candle turned red today and I think we will see this bearish wedge during a couple of months.
Now I'm waiting for the ending of this bearish wedge and will start buying when significant stability appears again.

There is nothing wrong if you want to buy both. At the time of the current decline, in my opinion, it is still vulnerable to deeper bearishness. Is that what you want to take? so if the price continues to fall, prepare some mentality and don't go back to the market before everything recovers. For us it is not a problem, because the Russian issue is still too warm on the surface so waiting for the holder's saturation to hold and stop the decline would be very good if at that time we went in to buy.

If you truly, honestly believe in crypto and its future, then any time you buy crypto is the right time (and when I say future, I mean long time future, not the imminent future). Other than that, no one can give you an exact answer because it differs from person to person. Don't look at this forum as a place where someone will tell you what to do, but rather a place where you can gather information and useful knowledge that will help you determine what's the best thing for you as an investor is.

Every season is good to buy BTC but you need to make use of the DCA which is the recommended investment strategy due to its lower risk tolerance.
However, you need to understand how the crypto market work and also have some basic knowledge about cut loss.
Having said that, you can buy some fraction of BTC and also set aside some capital which you can use to buy more when dip because there's a huge chance that market blood bath will happen this year.

If I have a wad of money then I will buy both because these two coins will still have fantastic value in the future with a long timeframe, this correction is not finished I hope everyone is not in too much of a rush to buy during this bear market. Stay tuned and decide at what price you will buy it.

The market is an uncertain one compared with the stocks and other world market commodities. The crypto market is built over trust, and for the reason it is high risk involved. You trust and invest, and it doesn't assure with the profit within any deadline. Everything is long-term focused and not everyone were able to have such patience and believe looking upon the market fluctuation. If someone has experienced good profit out of the fluctuation, then the user will intend to invest unlike the market trend.

As mentioned every investment is subject to risk, same is with crypto market. And it is upto the individual to analyse and take decision whether to invest by now or later.

Your money! Your decision. Everyone here will suggest his favorite coin. For me, it's time to accumulate both if you have enough money to take the risk. I can say what I would do if I have enough money right now. Most probably I will put 50% of my funds into BTC. And the rest 50% invest in some top altcoin like ETH. I don't like putting all funds in a basket due to my previous lesson. Now it's up to you how much can you afford.

That's only for you to decide. Understand that you can't possibly know the agendas of all the market participants at any given point in time. What you can do is to analyze the assets you are trying to buy  from a fundamental and/or a technical point of view. Even if you have done your diligence you still are prone to witness black swan events or a sudden change of mind by a multi-billionaire or hedge fund manager.

Definitely yes, today is like a sale going on btc and eth infact all the Cryptos today are on sale and looking at the daily RSI it's too oversold, if you are looking to buy for a longer term also then it's a great area for a dollar cost average entry. But yes it's true that there is a good chance that year might be the bearish year for btc and we might not see a lot of bullishness in the market this year.

I guess if that's the case, then there will be a long span of time buying moment for all the coins that we wish to invest particularly with bitcoin.  Although we cannot hold its assurance, but weak hands will certainly collapse if that will happen, while strong hands will keep on utilizing the opportunity to fill their bags with top coins. As long as there is dips happening in the market, that will always be a good time to buy bitcoin and ethereum.

We ourselves in the end will decide to be a weak hand or a strong hand. We all do not know when the market will recover, but people who have
the patience and take advantage of the current price drop to continue to collect Bitcoin and Ethereum, that person will get a big profit. Because
if we do research and analysis properly, must be aware that Bitcoin and Ethereum are two very potential coins. So no matter how deep the decline
in Bitcoin and Ethereum is, the two coins can always go up again, even the increase can break the previous record. So my advice is to buy Bitcoin
and Ethereum when the market is experiencing a decline like now is the right decision.

The fact that the markket are currently on red , heavily dropped and a sure bearish for the last couple of weeks since new year.

you are good to go to start buying on discounted price , but still yeah remember that it could went worse that what you think , expect the unexpected.
as the price in really volatile phase , prepare for the worst case and manage the portofolio with a thoroughly math.
once you have done it all , you might find the real dip benefits you a lot at the end of the day.

Well if you have enough budget, go for both.
They are potential can make a profit in the future because they are tested and proven as good assets.
The market is quite good for now to start investing because they are down, so I think it is time to grab the opportunity. But always remember to invest of what you can afford of course that you can wait for a long term because this kind of investment needs patience before you will achieve the right profit.

With the current market conditions that are down and the movements are very volatile, of course we have to be really careful in making a decision,
It is also necessary to consider many things because the slightest mistake will cost you money

If you want to buy it wait for it a bit stable first, I'm afraid the market will go down continuously. If you got a lot of money you can buy the top ten from coinmarketcap, many people will panic sell and watch the movement from the market waiting for a good opportunity to buy the dip. It's now or never to me.

It is not unusual that in this forum, which is called Bitcointalk for a reason, we prefer Bitcoin to Ethereum. If you get to ask in the alts section, you would surely have more answers preferring Eth. What I would recommend is that you acquire information on both and make an informed decision as to why you prefer one over the other. It is better than buying one because you simply think it will go higher or you have been told in a forum.


Have you thought about adding more to your initial investment? Many of us on the forum do DCA. You can invest a lump sum at the start but then add x money weekly or monthly. That way you cushion the ups and downs in price.

Actually this is the good times to buy any cryptocurrencies, because the down fall's of bitcoin may not increase anytime doon, but some people online via social media keep on portraying that bitcoin will fall again until it gets to twenty thousand or ten thousand (20K or 10k) so i support that motion of buying Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies that is equal to the task of investment, not really focused on bitcoin and ethereum, other potential coins are there to discover.

for me in my personal opinion seems not because there's still a lot of sign that it will gonna break the current support levels, and there's still some negative prediction as well on this current situation. so perhaps we should wait for more results than entering early because you know it will gonna be a loss when it shows a fluctuation afterwards. So let's wait until we see a good trend instead to ensure everything will gonna be alright..

I think good moment if you can buy back bitcoin or ethereum right now during still have lower price, but never use all your assets to buy bitcoin or ethereum, spent about 50% from your money buy back bitcoin or ethereum then left 50% waiting for if bitcoin suddenly dump again, I think this best way how to keep less risk with cryptocurrency investing, first you need to buy limit order on bitcoin price right now but you have to spent 30% your money buy under first your order position for waiting if bitcoin suddenly dump.

Best to Buy both . How much is your capital? if you have at least a thousand dollars then Buy 700 to bitcoin and 300 for ethereum .

because of the market dumping now it is sure a profitable way is to diversify and not taking solo coin.

Obviously, you assume that the price of BTC and ETH will continue to decline, so you prefer not to make purchases. But if you are wrong, then you will have to buy these coins at a higher price. Therefore, you need to spend part of the deposit on the purchase now, and in case the price continues to decline, continue buying in parts.

Maybe he has only limited funds so he needs to wait for the cheapest price. But i think its impossible to predict the deepest of the dip because the market seems so unpredictable that it changes its value from time to time. The worst thing here is when the market suddenly recovers, then you have missed another opportunity to buy. This is the reason why we need to secure enough funds after a bullish season so that when the bear season comes, we won't be waiting for the cheapest price since we can certainly buy our prospects in every dip.

Considering both crypto coins have really dipped so much i think buying both in even proportions should be a great odea as this doesnt just reduce your risk exposure but also allows you to diversify your crypto portfolio. So buy the dip in 50-50 proportions.

Currently, in the market, we experience another downtime of the market price this is a kind of opportunity to buy some coins as possible this gives us an insight might be another attempt for the bitcoin to reach the 100k price but of course, we need to beat the resistance first. Currently, there's a lot of possible output of the bitcoin and eth. Of course, we focus mostly on bitcoin dominance we see the downtrend every time on altcoins but of course if the altcoin conquers it will be the alt season. Still depends on the following future of the bitcoin but grab the chance when dump.

This bear market isn't something to feel bothered about but actually the best opportunity to buy and accumulate more Bitcoin and ETH while the prices are still low. If you're planning to buy and hold for the long term, then you shouldn't miss this chance to buy hold especially since the whole market is in its low phase. You should be wise and grab the opportunity to buy during this dip.

Yes for sure, it might be a very long accumulation season before the next blast, but I am sure this point can be one good point for dollar cost averaging your position, even if btc falls from here you can buy more later but if btc flies from here there are fancy chances that you won't get a chance to buy again at price this cheap anytime soon.
To be honest even 50-50 looks pretty high to me, just buying 1/3rd or 1/4th of your portfolio would make any sense here.

Hey Velo,

As you can see the Market is crashing and going down.
For trading, every dip is an opportunity to buy some amount. So go for it but don't put all your capital in one go.

You may not find the dip, but you can find "some dip". Like when it goes from 68k at the top to 40k, and buy buy at 40k, that is still fine, and yes it dropped even further down but you still got it at 40k. By mathematics, if you bought at 68k and then same amount at 40k, you will have an average of 54k, so suddenly you turned your 68k entry to 54k. If you put that much more to 40k again, suddenly you are at 47k.

I would not say that it is a long way out. So, you managed to turn your 68k entry to 47k with just 2 moves if you enter at 40k and that is not even the bottom, even if you didn't found the bottom you still did fine. Which is what I am looking for right now and I am quite happy and I would be willing to buy anywhere around these prices. It is just a smart way of investing when you do DCA on bitcoin and most other major coins that rank high.

It’s not bad if he decides not to buy now, moreover now might not even be the right time to start buying. For long now a lot of people has been saying that we should start buying immediately, because they believe that the market has reached its lowest, but the price of Bitcoin has still gone from over $40,000 and now it is at $35,000 as I write this. So, you just never know the right time, and we don’t even know if the price will still go down again, because I’ve been seeing some predictions that the market would still drop to $20,000.

So, if it’s going to drop that low, now might not be the perfect time to buy, though it will still make sense if you have plans to hold it for a long term till another bull run takes place. I know that some people who are buying now have plans of holding it for like four to five years which would be the next halving, and likely another bull run.

No, don't listen to them, they're making this FUD so that weak hands may fall into their trap and have a continuous panic selling. 
I don't believe that the Bitcoin price will fall that far, $20k is something impossible as you can see the market now showing a resistance that could maybe in the next few days market back to the green color.

There's no timer frame on buying coins and if OP has enough money to invest both Bitcoin and Ethereum are much better because they have the potential to make a profit.  My advice is, invest only in what you can afford because we don't know how long it will become the price goes up again.

From what i read price can be dumped more, i think split capital which is previously will we use to buy into 3 parts. Because when price keep down after we bought it, at least we still have money to buy more, and the rest if price really move very much and we can buy more with it. I think it is safer to do than decide 1 price and buy it all with capital that we have because no one can predict where actually bitcoin price will go.

I don't care about many people talk about bitcoin drop until $20,000 and I think this the way how to make many investors panic selling their assets with lower price. How many time when bitcoin dump but always strong recovery and back to higher price, did you remember last moment when China make fud and bitcoin drop under $30,000 but few weeks later bitcoin can come back stronger and reach almost $60,000. Everything have way for some people try to make fud and investor not really understand how they can play price and people panic for selling with lower price, keep hold and waiting I sure bitcoin back to higher price again.

Think about this guy's words, because for me this is a good reason - to distance myself from ETH.

I will not call Bitcoin digital gold, but when choosing between two evils, it is worth choosing the lesser.

But if I should ask, from your view do you see a rise of the price anytime soon ?
What I meant is actually Bitcoin, people letting go of their bitcoin to easily has resulted to it dropping.
I'm a bit scared also, but don't want to follow the crowd, at times I just want to sell to buy lunch, it's still gone rise soonest ?

it is a buying strategy and perhaps, it works and has been used by some individuals, we can do the same if we feel it was good. But this strategy usually applies to those who have more capital.
The price of Bitcoin is currently at $33,000, I was expecting to drop more where $30,000 is not far from getting reached. I buy some yesterdai but the market seems to deep more, I think, this is the best time for me to buy again.

It is yes will need more capital or we just split capital that we already have although it means we bought less amount than what we want to do before, but in this situation, when market morely like to keep dumped, it is worth to do because to be safe is better.

Yes very good time to invest in Giants. especially etherium is best choice. Below 2500$ is golden chance for all who love crypto and can hold itbfor at least one year. 10k is possible in 2022. Better to buy 25% and if down below 2k then another 25% .

I think the trick you are sharing is really effective on bull market .If market goes down we can buy and buy more if it goes more down .However it is really tough to predict the market when it is on bearish momentum ,no point is good now to enter cause it can goes more down. Now market are keep falling we never know and predict now when it will be recovered so that no exact point to enter .Come back to the point on thread where he was asking to invest btc or eth .I think it always better to invest on btc cause all the crypto market follow the trend of btc .So if you gain a bit you can it form btc first .So i wanna suggest to go with btc but i don't wanna suggest to enter now cause its really going through bearish momentum .Take your time and wait for a good price to enter .Hope we can see a strong positive trend soon.,

The deeper fund you got, the better chance to collect every dumped that taking place. If you really believe that bitcoin will bounce
back and bring decent profits, it's good timing to keep buying and storing your assets. Once everything went well, your profits will
gives you satisfying outcome.


If you still have spare and you can wait even it will take a while, buying will be good for your investment.

That's what most people say these days that cryptos can decline even further so not hurrying up can be a good thing. Another thing I heard is eth could perform better this year so it will be good if we pay attention to that.

To have a lot of money or not , we can still be able to buy coins from the top as long as we know how to divide the funds properly  there is also non top coins or undervalued coins that can potentially pump so I wont disregard them. Sure there are panic sellers but I do not think they are the ones that will monitor the market closely and buys at the dip, that is not the trait of a panic seller but that is the trait of a professional crypto trader  .

In that case, we should buy ETH now. However, I can't just think that ETH will recover first than Bitcoin. As for many years has been in the market, this project still relies upon Bitcoin and that up can be seen once Bitcoin had recovered as well.

It was more advantageous when you have a lot of money. Like seeing rich people can buy anything they want and if that brings it here if you have huge capital you can buy more Bitcoin. Perhaps, they'll do and for sure everyone has a chance but the question is what are they gonna do when the market continue to drop? I hope they will just hold, not panic selling.

Not everything would be a smooth sail ride and expect that on this market you would really be needing to ride in the waves to sustain and survive yourself in this fierce market.Expect the unexpected because it would be always like this on which price could neither go into those numbers on where majority is been hoping or eyeing or would suddenly dips down because of some certain conditions or
situations that do happen in the market or simply with fundamentals.

Buying times would really be on someones consideration and since we do really differ in terms of decisions and criterias then we would really be ending up on different or various choices.

not just BTC and ETH, now is a good time to invest in crypto, the market is in a bearish state, all altcoins are heavily discounted. Buying altcoins in the top 10 of CMC is certainly a recommendation, buying BTC and ETH is also a good recommendation. Buy some trusted ltcoins and hold them until the bull market comes back. who has the current capital then buys and holds it will be the winner. make sure the strategy used is going well, don't buy because of someone else, buying must be done with research first.

Looks like bitcoin has a good bounce back, however, I think it's just a bull trap so everyone will be jumping again. I find the market now bearish so I would not trust any minor pump, instead, I would continue buying everytime the price dump as I believe on the discounted price and we might see more market sale due to the bear market.

Its good buy as the prices are dumping but i think you shouldn't use all your capital at once as there is possibility for further dump so it will be best when you buy in every dip. I'd advise you put more of your capital in bitcoin.

Maybe wait a little bit longer and see what happens, or if possible put a number that you want to get in no questions asked and just wait for it to happen and then buy at that point. Some people end up buying too early in the dip, that they're frustrated because they either have to go out in a loss and get in much lower or wait for the dip to maxed out and then wait for it to pump again. You can also buy a little amount per dip in prices, that way you can minimize the risk and frustration in buying the dip.

I think that should be a signal to go in. Bitcoin has lost slightly below 50% from its ATH of $69,000 and traded below $33k a few hours ago (yesterday). Yet I know a lot of those who expected Bitcoin to dip for them to buy in will still be scared of going in. This morning Bitcoin is trading around $36,000. It's close to $3k gain on the low of yesterday. This shows how Bitcoin is truly a phoenix. Anyone who isn't buying now will definitely be missing a great low opportunity ATM.

Buy when it at red, be more precise about your investment plans. You can invest on short term as well as long term and both needs different strategies to make profits.As of now the market is highly unstable I though we were moving down all the way but in the very few hours the price of BTC and ETH recovered and still looks like on which direction it is about to move.

Yes, the strategy is to buy every dip that you see. Like if it's bitcoin, it dumps to $34k, you buy and for another dump $33k up to $30k or any low price that you prefer, you'll buy. Don't use it all at once and just be sure that you're really going to buy at those levels.

I'd be advising the same thing. More in bitcoin is better for real although ETH is like a brother to bitcoin but if you want to have a balanced portfolio, you choose both of them and calculate them balanced.

I wish to thank you all for opinions, comments and advices about this. I took some btc last night. Hope decision was good, time will show. good luck to all,
Regards.

I myself am more interested in buying Bitcoin, this will be good for the long term. But if you have more money you can buy both Btc or Eth. Eth as the number one altcoin is not inferior to Bitcoin, Eth's performance is also good especially with the support of smart contacts. Altcoins are also suitable for short terms, if you are lucky in a short time you can get big profits with Eth. For Bitcoin itself this will be more suitable for the kong term method so we have to be patient waiting for the price to stabilize and rise. The profit obtained from Bitcoin is also usually large, according to the effort you are doing. Because being patient is not an easy thing, especially with market conditions that go up and down there is no certainty you must really be able to control emotions well.

This is definitely the best time to buy bitcoin and ethereum as their prices are very cheap at the moment. Not only for them but almost all the coins right now are experiencing bloodbath seeing the market may be in a long bearish cycle. But we should also remember that not all cheap coins are good to buy, we should stick more into bitcoin and the rest of the popular and established coins. And its always a good strategy if we can buy in every dip since we can't be sure if the next price will be a lot lower or may suddenly make a price increase.

Both BTC and ETH are great long-term coins. Doing DCA with both of these coins is somewhat my plan for this year along with my crypto trading colleague. They're already proven to come back stronger whenever the market goes down not just once, but many times already. There's no such perfect moment on when to buy or sell BTC or ETH because the crypto market is very unpredictable. No matter what advice you get, they're not perfect. Only you can really decide because it's your money, and just be prepared and fully aware of the risks too.

if you have a lot of capital, continue to buy at deep prices it can be done. buy gradually and with an increase in the number of assets in each purchase.
but if you still believe the market is still bearish, then the right decision is to wait until the market rebounds and finds the strongest support.
bear market is a good opportunity for those who have spare capital.

Actually, every time can be a good moment to buy ETH, by average. Moreover when we buy it by understanding what we are supposed to do next.
I mean that we exactly know the purpose of buying ETH or BTC itself, for short term or long term.
And every time the price dropped like now is actually a good moment to buy BTC (once more by average because we will not know later will be dipping again or not).
Sometimes, people are more desired to buy BTC and ETH when the price is very high when the hype of the crypto is very high. But when the market crashed like what happen right now, they are too afraid to buy again.

in fact, any time is a good time. if you need or want it, then it will be a great time.
however, right now there is a special condition that the price is currently discounted, and if you are looking for a moment to buy bitcoin or ethereum at a low price, then I feel that this is the right time. not only the two coins, in fact almost all popular coins also have a pretty good price to own. Personally, if I had more money to invest, I would buy one of the most popular coins today.

It's the opposite actually, thus, OP has already decided to buy and he just did the right thing of buying whether it's bitcoin or ethereum. But he has chosen to buy bitcoin and that's a plus to him. The market has become good eventually and bitcoin has recovered and goes back to $38k as of typing this. That's a quick turnover coming from $33k and that made us think that it's going further and below $30k but so far, so good and it's starting to recover let's see where this is going to go and if it will break $40k.

Both are good deals, and yes, it is a good moment to buy Bitcoin and ETH because they dipped so far from their ATH, so in the next pump, you could have more profits if you're patient enough to hodl. Don't put the eggs in just one basket though, better to save some fiat for your daily expenses because you don't want to be force on selling your coins because you don't have any more money left in your pocket.

Why not buy both of them? It's better if you are going to divide it rather than focusing on one coin, those two coins were a good even for long term investment and you won't regret on having them both I would also consider buying some alt coins like Avax and Solana since they are good project too but if you want to make sure if it is a good moment to buy you can make your own analysis on the market.

You will only receive mixed opinions here since we have different perspective about the market.

Definitely, it's certained that the prices are going to multiply in 10+ years time but it's still necessary to be picky when purchasing coins though you wouldn't be as picky as one who is purchasing for a short term.
Take for instance (I love giving instances, it aids for clearer understanding), you purchase 1000 coins at 100$, and then because the other person is picky, he purchases the same number of coins at 20$, he may decided to keep them longer than planned and that would mean more benefits to him.

Bitcoin is an father of all the crypto-currency. In order for the price of everything to go up, the price of Bitcoin has to go up first. So I think it is better to invest in Bitcoin. Bitcoin may not give you much profit in less time.  However, you will be less likely to lose to invest in it. So in my opinion now Good moment to buy bitcoin.

Eth is nothing in front of btc we already know that.so if we buy eth no need to hold it because if btc is in dip and didn't move so how can move eth without btc because btc is the head of all coins

Everyone knows a red or a downturn in the market is a great time to make a purchase, because almost all coins are down by half of the previous new ATH which I think is a great time to buy bitcoin and ethereum.
but still do the analysis and look for the best information before doing it so that you are really at the right time to do it because the decline is still continuing, or you can buy it gradually every time there is a decline and hold it, for the long term.

I don't think all coins follow Bitcoin and maybe only some coins,
buying Bitcoin or Ethereum actually depends on each person because they must have their own strategy,
if we have a large capital there is no harm in buying Bitcoin and maybe it is the right decision

Yeah definitely a good time to buy. I am going to use my next paycheck to buy more bitcoins. During the dip last year I didn't really have any free money to invest so I am glad now there are new entry levels. Almost all asset classes are affected by the bear market, it's not a problem in the crypto market. And who honestly thinks that in 1 or 2 years bitcoins are still going to be below 40,000? I don't think so. In a few months we could hate ourselves for not taking advantage of the current levels. Just don't use all your money to buy now. Best to split up the money and buy more if the prices keep dropping short term.

No one will tell you exactly. Most likely, the market is waiting for an even deeper medium-term correction. With subsequent long-term stabilization. But, it always makes sense to bribe a little and forget about these purchases for a long time. Holding a position for a long time without credit shoulders is the most adequate and correct solution. Not forgetting about security.  Safety is the most important thing.  After all, many people lose a lot of money by saying too much to others and not knowing the basics of Internet security.

People had lost their investment because they chose worthless coins but if they invest BTC and ETH, even it was not the perfect time, it still guarantees assurance in the future. Safety and security assurance? We all can get that if we are able to help ourselves then and that can be made if we have knowledge about the market. That is why I encourage people to study the market first before investing, not just to avoid losses but also for them to know what they are exactly be doing and the risk to take.

This is substantially more dangerous and would require some specialized investigation and some karma too. The individuals who put here don't put resources into seeing business sector siphoning unloading however for the people who need to put resources into the present moment, it very well might be ideal to contribute now.

I see OP invest for long term yes both bitcoin and ethereum are good to buy at current prices because the next 2 years may touch new ATH ,medium trading is also very suitable for you if you buy at current price but we don't know where the lowest point it is ,so my advice it's enough to put 62% into both because 38% for later (set it) if there is another decrease ^{I hope you understand what I mean}

If you have a huge amount of money to buy bitcoin for future profit making, this is the time to buy as much you want to buy because the price of bitcoin has dropped to $37. The best time to buy bitcoin is when the price is low in the market before you can buy and hold for long term or short term to achieve the best from your investment.
It is your choice to buy when the price is low or when the price is high in the market, it depends the formula you are using to trade your coins because if you buy when the price is low, it will help you to monitor the market price very well than to buy when the price is high which will not help you to make a good income in the future because you will not be comfortable with the market price.

In fact, no matter who says it, this is really a great moment to buy top coins at discounts, because I think the bottom has already been broken, February will be a breakthrough for bitcoin, especially since the hype around it is huge even when it falls. I try to buy without paying attention to constant falls.

on this topic it certainly becomes a big question for me when you ask about buying BTC or ETH.
I ask again, do you buy to invest or trade?
if you want to invest then I suggest buying BTC because the nature you are going to use is long term.
if for trading then both are also good, but I recommend buying ETH because the market is currently moving slowly and to get a profit with short-term trading can be seen immediately even though it is not too big.

A good moment to buy bitcoin is always now, on the present! There are lots of people who keep waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect dip to finally acquire their first portion of bitcoin, but that is actually a big mistake, because nobody can predict it accurately. So what happens is that these people never start investing and when they realize this fact, it's already too late, because bitcoin becomes too expensive for them to buy a nice amount of satoshis. That is why people should just invest in bitcoin, doesn't matter the currently price, while not getting anxious to see financial returns on short run.

Some people are always waiting for the price to keep falling, before they eventually buys. But, It quite risky, because been we don't probably know what will happen next. Wether this might be the last time, Bitcoin will trade at it present price. Why don't we just buy and be patience enough for the price to pump, because Bitcoin will certainly rise in price sooner, they better invest now, or ends up regretting later.

 

There is no wrong time to buy. As long as you know that you will be selling at a profit, then, you can always buy anytime, given that you can very well afford to lose such amount in case of worst case scenarios. In this market, it is your own decision whether to buy or sell, so at the end of the day, just remember that the simple rule in trading is buy low, sell high. Simple yet complex when you are already in the situation. So long you will not be selling at a loss, then you are still in good position.

Honestly it's quite difficult to make a decision in the midst of the current market conditions,
I'm sure a lot of people feel that way and it seems it's better to buy gradually,
apart from that everyone must have their own way

Yes, I agree with this too. it's just, people know that the right time to buy bitcoin or ethereum is when it's dipping, and it's currently dipping. However, due to panic selling, many people are hesitant to buy again because of panic selling.
however, we also realize that every time is a good time if we are ready, however, FUD for low prices is always there. well, this is a very good time to buy bitcoin or ethereum as their prices have dropped considerably from ATH. recovery will definitely happen this year.

There will be no endless growth of bitcoin. Most likely, we have already seen the maximum prices. Who wants to - will hear...Man is an animal that is created on the basis of biochemical processes. All biochemical processes of the brain are based on the interaction of hormones. The most important hormones are pleasure hormones. That's the whole point. Any person lives for the pleasure of life. Someone hides it, someone does not hide it. There are f ew people who want to please other people. But, in the end, they do it for the sake of getting their pleasure.

Everytime is good time to buy btc or eth, it's just depend on what you are going to do with your btc or eth after you bought it. Long term holding for btc and ethereum is a good way to earn huge profit especially if you are going to buy now while the price is low. Many people always wait for more deep  but for me better to invest now and hold. And if there is more price drop then buy again as long as you have capital because opportunity just comes once. The scenario in crypto market is just cycle, there is a bear market and bull market. Bitcoin is already more than 10 years of existence which is a proof that it will become more and more valuable in the future.

As if it was today. We were thinking with a friend about the endless possibilities of bitcoin. 2015. ((((cost 300 dollars).Most people don't know what to do today.  Today there are plenty of opportunities to become rich in 5 years.  The saddest thing in this whole story. Malevich's square painting.

That would really good way to go for it, yes you have a nice Plan indeed. We are not yet sure whether the market has hit the bottom, so in case it might be going down again, this would be a better to execute the plan in investing; 68% investment at the initial time and 32% later like you have said.

If the price happens to go down later he would be buying more coins at a cheaper rate to fill his with the 32% of the investment money that’s left. And as for how he should be investing the money in both, I think that more of the money should be going into Bitcoin.

Holding a set of amount (spare) to average will be always appreciated yes. It might be in crypto trading or in share market. As market can move in any direction, it really needed to balance the loss. So yes just invest 60 to 70 percent of capital into either of these coins or on both of these coins as both are best coins for long term investment. Current correction seems to be bit longing so this is the right time to invest.

If you only buy to hold your cryptos, it’s always a good time to buy.
If you would like to make money, I personally would wait a bit before buying again. On my opinion BTC and ETH will go lower within the next weeks.

It depends on your plan on why you're buying these coins.

If you're going to buy and will hold it for long period lets say 5-10 years then anytime would be ideal to buy since your timeframe is for long period hodling. On the other side if you only want to make a short term profit then much better to buy during dip.

Thats why its a must to have plan and know whats your goal because investing has risk and we cant predict accurately the movement of the market.

buying both I think is very worth it, depending on our goals for investing or trading. As for investing, I think starting now is also good, but indeed we have to buy for several stages, in the sense that if the price drops again we still have capital to buy back. on the other hand we have to prepare psychology, because no one knows what will happen to the market

There's always the possibility that it would go low in the times that we're not expecting. And there's the truth with what you've said that if someone is buying to hold, you do that always, and no need for any validation from other people.
We do that because we want to make money from holding it and you choose whether you go to the long way or you're good to wait for a bit of time then assess what you've bought if they're good to be sold.

Well this decision is made for you yourself to make, because the way everybody looks at crypto market is quite different, and also you have your specific target to meet. Nevertheless the market is still down for one to purchase Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB, so as to claim your profit letter when the market bounce back.

There are several dozen empty and useless dog and cat coins on the market today. With a total capitalization of tens of billions of dollars. There was a wave of stupid HYPE from Buterin and Mask. This confirms the low intellectual level of market participants. It will take a couple of years to shake out useless human garbage from the market.

I don't think it's for both, currently the market continues to decline maybe waiting a little longer to be able to buy at a lower price is a good choice, although we all don't know how long this market price decline will continue.
but it all comes back to each person's prediction when someone believes the current price is the lowest then buy some Bitcoin and ETH, because I believe buying now or waiting longer to be able to buy at a lower price will be equally profitable in the future , it's just that the profit value is different because I am very sure that both Bitcoin and ETH will recover and return to peak prices as has happened in the past.

We do that as investors who have strong believe that the market will bounce back and deliver our expectations, it's true that if you have this kind of mindset, better to follow your own understanding and there's no need of any confirmation or recommendation from other investors. It's your money to take care, and it's your own responsibility to take the risk.

Any decision making should be on your own judgement and not being influenced by anyone.

You are giving reason if in case the market turned against you, it's not good for your investment journey.

Yes, now is a perfect time to start buying. Both of them are good, normally I would have said Bitcoin is a better choice at all times, which it is indeed. But Ethereum transfer to PoS soon might lead to a boost in the price.

We are getting close to the launch of the ETH 2.0 version of Ethereum which would be a better version that would rely on proof of stake, and when it happens (even before it happens) we would start seeing the price going up. Ethereum has also been performing quite well as of recent, today was over 2%>. If you choose to invest in Bitcoin, it is still a good choice, normally you would he told to invest in BTC, or you can diversify for both.

I'm not a financial advisor so the choice is up to you. The price is continuously rising on some coins so I think it's a good time to buy but just to make sure I would prefer to support the speculation with some analysis using technical analysis tool or reading chart more carefully instead of just asking, people have different opinion regarding of this as it depends on the capital of each person have.

It is likely that in 2022 there will be an opportunity to buy BTC and ETH at a good low price, but you need to guess when the final fall of the crypto market will be. As you have already noticed, the market has recently experienced a good fall and it is likely that those who managed to buy BTC and ETH at a lower price and now make money on it. What is still swinging such falls, that is, there is a high probability that they will be in 2022 and more than once. Perhaps it is at these moments that you will need to buy BTC and ETH. As for triggers for such falls, they can be the same negative news about cryptocurrency.

They are all pumping now so hopefully you are able to buy the moment you post this one, if yes you made a profit now but if not and still analyzing, better to wait for some pullback because for sure the price will go back to $35k again so be patient and wait for it. The current price is still cheap though, you can decide to buy now and hold until the market recovers. I bought some already and will surely buy again if there’s still an opportunity.

I personally would wait for a breakout above the yellow line and looking for support around this area. After this we have to see a move to the blue line and have to break it to be bullish again.
https://de.tradingview.com/x/wVm4D0f9

I would suggest anytime would be a better one because what if bitcoin will continue to raise at any moment and there's no pullback the price.
Every time is good to buy bitcoin or even ethereum as long as you can able to hold this for a long term, there's a potential of gaining profit if you are willing to hold it for a long term purpose. Short term trader is very risky and we don't know where's the price of the market heads up.

Trusted and tested coin like bitcoin and ethereum isn't doubtful to invest, they always have a potential once you will hold them and wait at the right time to gain profit. So, yes for me just invest of what you can afford.

To be honest enough, then there is no perfect time to buy BTC or ETH.
Guessing the price is completely unpredictable. So it’s always advised, when you have funds go for buying.
Currently seeing the price of coin, i can say yes invest as much money you can in BTC.
Currently the market is in red and very soon it will recover it.
Wish everyone will make decent money in this bull run.

I wouldn’t say price is unpredictable. Once a level is broken, it will go up or down. Not only for BTC, for all assets.
See this example: https://de.tradingview.com/x/hsTuR72Q once BTC broke a Level, the only way was up.

Yup, any decision to be made when it's related to investments regarding cryptocurrencies then it's all your duty to think of it and be responsible for it.
As we invest in bitcoin, there's no argument needed to happen because we're all agreeing and has the same thought of how it is as a long term investment not unless someone is coming to tell that it's still expensive despite that it was slashed almost or more than half from the highest price that it has made.

We are already on the year 2022 and yes there is a buying opportunity right now because almost all cryptos are in heavy dump but to predict if when is their bottom is something that is hard to do not unless if you have a special powers which are also unlikely.

How can you say that they are in profit when they also bought at low? What can actually happen is they will loose huge if they do that. That is not how to play the crypto game but it should be buy low and then sell high. Apart from the natural fall of eth, there are also bad news that are coming lately from this coin so I do not really recommend eth for the long term but you cannot go wrong in bitcoin.

Every time is a good moment to buy btc and eth for me? I see it as a long term investment asset and I think 60k is not the maximum Bitcoin can reach and I think the price of the Bitcoin is still low since they are not yet fully accepted by the communities and not all companies or people are open yet to cryptocurrency just imagine the price if all the corporations would be willing to use or buy Bitcoins.

ya.ya.yo!

the best time to buy BTC or ETH actually depends on your perception....if your benchmark is ATH btc or eth then buying now is a good opportunity but if your benchmark is the economy or the money you have then you should just buy as much as you can, don't burden yourself ^{(i mean don't owe the bank to buy btc or eth)}

Lol this depends on what is His intention here in investing  either if he wanted to Hold? or day trade ? there is always a different approach for those.

Buy now and decide what to do it will always depend in our plans.

But if i were OP? i will suggest to buy and keep it holding .

I agree with you and it all again depends on each individual,
we can't force people to buy and I think they are also aware of what to do according to their respective conditions,
apart from that taking advantage of this opportunity to buy Bitcoin or Ethereum seems like a good thing

Every time the market price moves, it will be a moment for experienced day traders who have the ability to analyze market movements because with volatile market movements there will be opportunities for them to make profits, but if we intend to use these assets as long-term investments then it is better to take advantage of the current decline to buy BTC and ETH because the market is giving us a discount.

This is a good time to buy BTC or ETH but I suggest wait for more dip, BTC is around $30000 best for buy and ETH is around $2000 best price, BTC and ETH both can be bought but I suggest ETH that can be more profitable than BTC, so wait for little more dip then buy ETH.

The deeper the decline, the higher the returns. But with bitcoin and ethereum, its always a good time to buy as long as the market is showing price decline. And since both will generate bigger profits when hold for long term, so now is the perfect time to buy while the market has not recover yet. And in fact, ethereum 2.0 is set to happen this year so we'll wait and see for it as 2022 could be the year that ethereum starts a rise to the top.

Both are good to invest for the short term as well as the long term. If BTC increases then Ethereum will surely increase so you can choose Ethereum for better profit. You can choose other coins also that have more profit ratio than BTC & Ethereum.

The market usw to be volatile and people still use to make good decisions.  But as it is now people are afraid to make decisions because the market may fall down more. But even if the market is falling more it will not go far again. Now is still good to buy bitcoin and other coins too.

Bitcoin is extraordinarily volatile. If you're willing to require the chance, initial ensure you perceive what you're finance in and have a crypto investment strategy.

Also ensure you aren’t finance just because you have got a worry of missing out. There square measure variety of queries you ought to raise yourself before obtaining involved:

Do I perceive what i'm finance in and the way bitcoin and therefore the crypto market work?
Am I proud of the amount of risk?
How much costlier is it currently compared to some months ago? If thus, why am I desperate to purchase a issue as a result of its worth is higher? wherever else in my life do I do that?

This is the best time to buy bitcoin and hold for future profit making. Many coins dropped price since November  till now that is making investors not to sell their coins because of the low profit that involve.
Now that the price of bitcoin is too low for investors to invest more on bitcoin than ethereum because the gas fee of ethereum is too high for investors to make a good profit. Both bitcoin and ethereum price has dropped  but bitcoin is the best opportunity to invest and start having hope on your investment.

If you suggest waiting for more dip, it is not the best time to buy now, right? To be honest, with the current trend in crypto market, it is very difficult to predict the price. Some people think the price of BTC can decrease around $20,000 and ETH may decrease around $1,000. If it really happens, buying BTC and ETH with the prices you suggested, isn't the right choice. Except you just plan to hold a short term, you can buy them at any price, depending on the possibility of trend in the market.

as much as I like bitcoin, I would recommend buying ETH for the following reason:
1 - price of ETH in relation to bitcoin has dropped a lot but it will go up again and when that happens the price of ETH will be high

2 - due to bitcoin price drop the price of ETH against USD has also dropped but it will recover as soon as the price of bitcoin increases a lot

When it comes to bitcoin, its always a good buy regardless of the price but if you aim for higher profits, buy it when there is dips like we are experiencing right now. However, with ethereum, its high gas fees seems to be its barrier that stops new investors from buying it, but definitely when this problem will be fix, i know ethereum will always have its potentials that will always dominate from the altcoins market. Actually, it never really lost its potentials eversince.

And those who have taken risk of buying bitcoin when it's on the drop, they can now see that it's worth to take the risk. From $33k, it's back to $40k.
Although too early to celebrate, still there's a lot to see from the market and this could again lead to a drop but I think if it drops, it won't be that much anymore.

now there has been a price correction that is very far from last year's ETH price reached its peak, of course now is a very good time.
but as you said that if the developer is able to lower costs for ETH the price will be very high but we are back again predicting if that doesn't work whether the price of ETH will be able to reach its peak again when a bull run comes in the future.
I think it's a risk if you buy ETH.
while Bitcoin prices that are too high will certainly make the rate of profit lower when compared to buying ETH with the same amount of money.

Ethereum still have lower price than bitcoin but always how going way for ethereum depending with bitcoin price, I think better to bu ethereum still have lower price than bitcoin although not have enough money we can earn profit with investing on ethereum, maybe with bitcoin need fund above $5,000 to earn more profit but with ethereum although fund $3000 we can earn $200 each day depending with ethereum price wake up drastically.

Bitcoin price has risen a bit since last two days. I would say, dont wait for the price to fall off as none knows how the market will move. So, never wait for any moment to buy a crypto coin, it might be any coins starting from BTC to any coin. So its the right time to get in and buy as many coins as wished. ETH yes, is the next trusted coin next to BTC. So just buy either coin when ever you have amount.

Traders who knows how to work with short-term market is capable to earn decently, it's good for someone who can adjust each time changes from the market take place, you always need to keep yourself updated and understand how to anticipate the next market run, I agree that those who bought from that last week dropped are already in a positive position now.

They can keep monitoring to wait for another rise or they can take and sell it, then wait for another dump..

It can't be predicted that bitcoin could strengthen again yesterday so I won't wait for the price to drop when I already have the capital to invest then I will buy it without hesitation to think about it then Bitcoin and Ethereum are the best choices right now as long-term investments.
I know how to say this because for the long term except for daily trading, it is very necessary to have price movements every day to wait for buying more prices to fall.

It's a very bad time today to buy ether and bitcoin. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=428589.msg59172813#msg59172813

The scalping or short-term method is indeed very good to be applied to the current market and this is done quickly, but requires a large capital to get a decent profit on each transaction. market movements really have to be read and predicted so that they can take advantage of any volatile opportunities well. If you don't have technical analysis knowledge, you certainly won't be able to apply it. do not guess the price without analysis, it will only waste money.
Those who keep monitoring are certainly equipped with advanced trading knowledge and take advantage of every opportunity that comes up. Dump buy dip and do management properly.

The ideas shared by everyone are greatly appreciated. I also do appreciate people's thoughts on bigger picture stuff, which I forget sometimes. Investing in Bitcoin or Ethereum is a great idea at any time. I haven't even looked at the price, because I don't have any money. Be cautious when you're too emotionally invested in your current position. It's dangerous to make financial decisions when you're emotionally invested. With BTC or ETH, you can get in. As of yet, nothing has been confirmed about the break out of the downtrend line.
