Title: Reinvest initial investment, or keep profits?
Post by: johant123 on January 18, 2021, 09:30:26 AM
Hi all,

In the past weeks, I have sold some BTC, and I have my initial investment (about $5000) out. Which means that everything I have in BTC now (about $8000) is "free". That is fine, but I am thinking about what to do with the money I took out:

  • Put it in a less volatile investment, as a long term safeguard
  • Reinvest it in BTC as soon as the price drops (it eventually will, but when?)

In the first case, I have secured my initial investment in the long term, so I won't need to worry about it, but it also won't make much more for me.

In the second case, the potential for gains is much higher, but I still risk losing my initial investment. I don't need the money now, but I would feel sorry about it.

I plan on keeping what I have left in BTC for the long term. My question is purely about the initial investment that I took out again.

What's your opinion? Thanks!

Good to hear you gained profit from bitcoin and increase your portfolio. Reinvesting your initial capital would increase your portfolio once again. But remember, you wouldn't be lucky always. There is a possibility of losing your capital as well. Since you don't need your money right now, you can invest it somewhere. Doesn't necessary to invest again in Bitcoin. My suggestion is, you would take out your initial investment from crypto and invest it in real life. And you could reinvest your profits in Bitcoin whatever you gained. Of course, buy-in dip according to you. So, if in case of Bitcoin drop unexpectedly, then would will not be panic and hold for longer. Because you already invest your capital in real-life investments. Panic sell is a huge problem in the crypto industry. Now you don't need money, but who knows about tomorrow. So your real-life investment would be helpful during a bad situation in case happen it.

I'm a big fan of diversification so I suggest investing in something else, something such as the traditional assets that have less volatility and only if you are familiar with what you do or can gain the knowledge before making the investment.

I'm also a big fan of bitcoin and believe in its future in long run so I would never pull out of bitcoin entirely, even when selling I have never sold all my balance, only a small amount to take the profit out. So I also suggest having bitcoin.

The amount you put back in really depends on your own risk management and how much money you want to dedicate to different assets you own.

I think it's better to wait some time for the Bitcoin price to cool down a little bit and re-invest your money again because you are here already in the crypto industry so dont just remain idle grab the opportunity to earn more but be cautions because as you said crypto is a volatile investment so you must be aware of it. by the way congrats on your gain.

Personally though, I would re-invest that initial capital using Dollar Cost Averaging or maybe have it ready when a smaller dip is present in the market.Also, it would be much better if you can re-invest your capital at a similar price back when you first bought a fraction of your bitcoin although it's unlikely to happen.

However, it is not also a bad idea to re-invest your capital if you have another traditional investment in mind (e.g., real estate, mutual funds, stocks) assuming that you have an emergency fund ready on both cases and has an ample knowledge to that specific investment.

In my opinion, bitcoin should not be viewed as a speculative asset. 

There is no point in selling Bitcoin for fiat currency because Bitcoin is real money.  The global financial system is currently undergoing a transformation.  Central banks will create their own currency (CBDC). 

What is the fate of modern fiat currencies?  Given the huge external debt of many countries, fiat currencies can quickly depreciate.  In this situation, replacing bitcoins (a deflationary asset) with fiat currencies (an inflationary asset) is the wrong choice. 

Gold, land, real estate and Bitcoin are the assets that can be recommended for purchase.  That being said, in my opinion, Bitcoin is the most undervalued asset of these four assets.

As my gambling friend tells me you pocket your initial stake if you win that much, then after that you are playing with the house money.
I bought gold 1 ounce coins in 2018 I think it was ,at $!6,50 Canadian an ounce, today they are selling at $2440 .
Nothing like if I had bought bit coin, but I can touch my gold, and it too bounces up and down. I bought it for a minimum ten year investment .
I'm planning to repurchase some part of a bit coin if the market falls below a number I have in mind ,.

I agree with most of the answer above. Just one tip, because maybe this is your case.

Members here tend to talk about investing, maximizing gains, deflationary vs. inflationary, staking... but we usually forget about debt. If you have mortgage, or you are planning to get a loan for something important in the short term, it would be interesting to think about using those $5.000 in order to avoid the trap. Because, to me, it is as important for financial freedom minimizing debt as maximizing gains.

Just the other side of the coin ;)

It is nice you made good profits, but you should know the market won't always work the way we think, it might take time to get a good profit again or it might be sooner than later, it all depends on the nature of the market. Talking about less volatile investment means investing offline, or rather in a business etc, because in the crypto space there is nothing like less volatile investment, the entire crypto space is highly volatile, therefore if you have a good idea about the investment you want to go into, then proceed to it, the profit you can also use to buy and hold Bitcoin, in this way you will still be relaxed. On the other hand, buying Bitcoin for long term, means you will have to wait it out if you later buys and it later dumps, so if you are ready for long term holding the option 2 is still okay. But left for me, if the business idea is a good one, which you can manage appropriately, then invest in it, when you get the profit, take a certain amount and buy Bitcoin for long term holding.

Your choice if you are going to sell your bitcoin and keep the profit or you gonna invest more again to the bitcoin. You will need know first the consequences once you are going to reinvest to the bitcoin maybe you will lost money if the price dump or maybe it will rise the price you gain money. But if you want to keep the profit and not invest again maybe you lost profit or you should right to not to invest that is the thing that you need to consider.

When you bought your first Bitcoin with your $5000 what was your
mindset? at that point could you have afforded to lose it?

if the answer is yes, then why did you liquidate it back to FIAT?
you now will have 62% less growth when Bitcoin's value increases.

I understand the benefits of diversification but with $5000 there
aren't many markets you can move into, maybe Gold.

Max Keiser predicts Gold to go to $3000 for 2021 (https://youtu.be/acyNBXg1g5E)

At a time when a lot of big investors are looking at Bitcoin,
I would be looking in the same direction.

Reinvest if you plan to do trading or plans to be updated in monitoring the market so you'll know when you gained profit. It's always good to buyback especially if your last withdrawal is already in profit. The recent pump teach me to sell some but to still keep more since there are many companies that might join the hype sooner.

I plan on keeping what I have left in BTC for the long term. My question is purely about the initial investment that I took out again.
If you think that the market will rally further you can ride the market and book your profit once you identify that the market is going for a huge sell off, it is a bit risky but it is possible but then it begs the question why you booked your profit so early. The best option is to wait for the major correction in bitcoin and then invest once again or find another investment market rather than keeping it idle.

If you can wait for a price bargain for Bitcoin then wait. But if you want to explore new cryptocurrency that has potential to do some major pump you can spread those $800 with it. But take note that altcoins are quite risky. So better to reinvest it on bitcoin if you are a conservative trader or investors. It depends on your appetite actually for risk. The higher the risk the higher the gain and so loss vice versa.

Do you have any other savings except those which you invested into Bitcoin? If none, keep that to yourself. If there is, you may invest it into Bitcoin as well.

But I take your doubt as a hint that you are thinking twice of going all in or not. If you are worried that your initial investment will lose value in case Bitcoin will take a plunge, then you better not invest it at all.

But to somehow settle it in a fair manner, invest half of that into Bitcoin once the price is hitting your target and keep to yourself the other half. There'd be no regrets that way whatever direction Bitcoin's price would take next.

Reinvest it in BTC as soon as the price drops (it eventually will, but when?)
My advice for you is: Split your money after taking profit into 2 part: part 1 is for the initial capital that you should keep in fiat. Part 2 is the profit you get so far. You can reinvest by the part 2. In bad investment, you will not lose your capital, and only lose all your profits or have left money from your profit if the reinvestment get a loss of 50%, 80% or 90%.

It gives you a safe reinvestment. If you are right, and get luck, you can earn more profit. If not, you will still have your initial capital to use.

First I think you need to set your priorities straight. What point in your life are you in now and what is your risk tolerance? Do you aspire to make a significant contribution to the world or just get by? Depending on your answer you can come up with a portfolio allocation.

It is very hard to give an opinion on a financial situation where you don't know all the factors. I mean.. do you have a job or other income streams that feed you cash flow every month?

Post by: Sterbens on January 18, 2021, 03:19:21 PM
free profit with $ 8000 is a very fantastic achievement and you deserve to enjoy it right now. then over time you will recover the potential to save your initial funds at a hefty price, in the long term it will not make you lose in the future because the price will definitely exceed the current price, but the timing is not certain. moreover a major correction is being planned.

Right time right decision to gain initial and think you are good trader. At present time i think market will be correction for establish so you should wait for some while or you can reinvest another small coin like DOT, ADA, Link where there price is very low now and think very recently these token price will be high. On the other hand risk free investment also. So you can take a chance here.

Reinvesting is also a good technique to increase your initial investment. It is also a very profitable technique. Big investment= big profit
But it also a big loss as well. But I think we should categorize our profit. Some ratio of it must be reinvested in order to gain more profit. Some ratio of profit take out of it and some of it for reinvesting.

For your first case, are you satisfied with your profit? Have you taken enough risk and now want to just reap profits without risking anything? Then go ahead. Take off your initial capital and invest rest of your profits. Choose coins that are well established and forget about them. Check them back after years and enjoy whatever you made!

For your second case, can you afford to lose? If you can, then forget about your "first option" and just invest. In both case, if you invest in well known coins, in the long run you will make profit!

Securing your initial investment would be the best thing should be done or to prioritize but there are people who do really tend to risk on making some compounding thing for the chance for them
to make that investment make more bigger.

Initial investment + profits = Bigger investment = Bigger profits  but always think that you will really be missing out on making profits in short time but you know that you are really
sacrificing it for the sake of bigger profits later on.

If you cant take up the risk then you do want to secure your initial investment then its your choice.If you do really trade well then those profits of yours will really still grow.

I would request you to keep the initial investment aside and reinvest the profit into bitcoin because if you reinvest everything then you would think of panic selling if the market fluctuates, again reinvesting the profit is very risky but if you are in for long term then reinvest into Bitcoin else look for day trading as there are possibilities of good income when market fluctuates.

For long term safe investment, probably you could choose Binance's 6% annual earn on flexible TUSD deposit, or directly gold, etc.

If you can really afford the long term investment in bitcoin, then this last one is better choice but remember, long term may be one, two, three or even four years. But as statistics and history shows us, bitcoin always proves that it's the best long term investment option. You have to be very patient, if you see that price went from 36K to 15K (for example), this is the case where your patience should shine. Imagine, even if you bought bitcoins back in 2017 in 20K USD, still you had a chance to do 100% profit (price was 40K recently).

It is up to you if you will be just keeping your gained profits from the pump or you will reinvest it into crypto which considerably not just preferable to be with Bitcoin for the fact that Bitcoin is not just the only profitable crypto that can be found in the market. You can diversify your capital into worthy cryptos out there that suits your preference and budgeting and also gain profits from them that you can be able to use invest more into Bitcoin once the price becomes a little bit affordable let's say get into dip to gain opportunity of buying at a lower price rate. While waiting for that thing to happen, you can do as what is stated above or just rather keep your profit along side with you.

In your first case, you want to earn more than you currently get. That is the nature of man is indeed insatiable and always greedy. But in this case,
you have taken a good step, because it has secured your assets with the profits you have targeted before. This way is very good.
If you don’t want to take any chances, you just have to sit  back and wait for  bitcoin for a  deeper correction, if you  feel the  current  price is  still
not reaching the lowest price.

They ignore the risk from loss that is taken from percent of the capital they invest.

Initial capital: $1000 so 50% loss will be $500.
Initial capital $1000 + profit $2000. Then if they reinvest all $3000, 50% loss will be $1500. If the loss is 80%, it will be $2400 and they will have only $600 left. It will be 40 % loss from initial capital.

Perhaps your concern is reflected in some of us. If I don't need the money, I would reinvest in bitcoin as an investment for a long time. Any portfolio should have an investment in bitcoin, the most optimistic people think that its price will reach very high.

Big investors are on the lookout to buy more bitcoin if the bitcoin price falls.
What worries me is that it could happen that the majority of bitcoin remains in the hands of large investors and the demand is so great that there are no bitcoins to supply.

The interesting thing is that now many large companies have bought bitcoin, the nominal they buy is not small, please read the news that I give about the data of companies that have invested their money in bitcoin. we all believe they will not sell cheaply https://decrypt.co/47061/8-public-companies-biggest-bitcoin-portfolios (https://decrypt.co/47061/8-public-companies-biggest-bitcoin-portfolios)


My fear is that if in the future all supply will be controlled by whalles, it will make the market very easy to monopolize. this is risky

Reinvest is always the best idea if you want to earn more more and more. There are several ways helping you to make a clear decision so as not to lose your initial money during the investment. Personally, I would withdraw the initial money and reinvest the rest (around $8000 as you say). Opportunities are out there and wait for us to seek and I dont want to waste my money by doing nothing with them.

MOney management is one of the best method which keep your money safe. I suggest you should split your next capital to many small parts which both let you join different chances and prevent losing a huge loss at once

I have the same thing done with my investment, I am diversified although in collectibles and bitcoin, I hope to diversify it more because I am a lazy person and I want my money to work for me. When you say traditional assets, what do you mean by that because I too am taking this advice as well. Is it real estate, stocks and bonds, gold/precious metals or other stable cryptocurrencies?

To OP, my advice to you is to keep the profits because you deserve that and reinvest your initial capital to another investment while bitcoin is still running high, make sure that you can easily pull out from that temporary investment so you can get back to investing in bitcoin when the prices are dumping and also treat yourself a little, maybe buy some guilty pleasure food, go to a vacation, or do something that makes you feel good, hell even get some prostitutes, that is if you are single.

You already sold your bitcoin and made a nice profit, but you can actually hold it for more and not sell at below $40k because once the bitcoin price increases again, the price will be at more than $45k. But that will not be a problem since you now have much money to buy more bitcoin, and I am sure that the amount of bitcoin you buy will be more than you have before. If you want to hold bitcoin for the long term, then after you buy bitcoin at the downtrend, you need to send your bitcoin in a cold wallet and don't tell other people you keep bitcoin for the long term.

What's your opinion? Thanks!
I think the best choice would be to reinvest in Bitcoin as soon as there is dip. The answer to your question about when to invest is to wait for a good timing or you can set your target price drop. Long term investment in Bitcoin is more profitable than investing in a stable asset.

Good to hear you gained profit from bitcoin and increase your portfolio. Reinvesting your initial capital would increase your portfolio once again. But remember, you wouldn't be lucky always. There is a possibility of losing your capital as well. Since you don't need your money right now, you can invest it somewhere. Doesn't necessary to invest again in Bitcoin. My suggestion is, you would take out your initial investment from crypto and invest it in real life. And you could reinvest your profits in Bitcoin whatever you gained. Of course, buy-in dip according to you. So, if in case of Bitcoin drop unexpectedly, then would will not be panic and hold for longer. Because you already invest your capital in real-life investments. Panic sell is a huge problem in the crypto industry. Now you don't need money, but who knows about tomorrow. So your real-life investment would be helpful during a bad situation in case happen it.
Reinvesting the profits greatly reduces the risk of investment and, if you are lucky, you will receive additional surprises.

If you still want some Bitcoin and crypto exposure, there are now several ETFs out there that usually have "Blockchain" in the name (but not always, so do some googling).

There is also a crypto mining company called Argo Blockchain which trades publically and has now become popular, a bit too popular as it is up 1300% over 3 months (yes you heard that right). You've probably missed the best profit on that though.

Also, bear in mind that mining companies probably now make better money from altcoins than Bitcoin.

First of all its good that you gained a huge profit from your investment into Bitcoin.

Now to answer your question, both of them have pros and cons. I will share some of it.

1. In the first case, the pros is like you said it can secure your future with that and knowing cryptocurrency as a very volatile market there is a chance that you need your money but you don't want to sell it because you will be at a loss. I'm doing this kind of thing. Investing a portion of my money in a lesser and for long term investment like the stock market.
2. Reinvesting in Bitcoin might be a good idea but normally those who can't bear a huge loss are considering cutting losses when they see it. As long as you aren't that much affected on that investment and it can't affect your lifestyle then you might put some and hold. Aside from my stock market investments, I'm also holding Bitcoins for the future.

After all, it will depend on you. You can do both reinvesting and having some profits.

There is a possibility of losing your capital as well. Since you don't need your money right now, you can invest it somewhere.

In fact, this is true. Investing your profits will make your investment grow more, it can multiply, double, or anything once you handled it perfectly.

Some people are already good with their profit and they are using it in their personal errands. It is much better if you will invest on another profitable investment or businesses that you can think of, and then engage on it so that your profit will make another profit and so on and so forth.

If you are a wise man, you will not settle only on that certain profit that you've earned and you will make it grow more because being a successful investor doesn't have a certain amount of money to achieve it. There's a lot of opportunity in cryptocurrency space so you should explore.

Thanks all!

At this moment, I'll do nothing (just leave the funds in my account). Knowing that I got my initial investment out gives me peace of mind.

I'll see what the Bitcoin price is doing, and then decide whether I want to "dollar cost average" 50% of my investment again, or want to use it in another way.

If you dont need this money urgently, then you can invest it again. I agree with your investment tactics. Somewhere on the Internet there was a photo with the theory of the cyclical nature of bitcoin, I think you should study it. This theory matches your tactics. You can easily increase your capital by at least 2 times of the current value. Personally, I have withdrawn funds for personal needs. Maybe it was a mistake.

If you are not comfortable that your initial investment is on BTC. Try to invest your USDT on passive interest like staking on Binance. In that why, Your money will still earn even though it is just sitting to your wallet while the other half is on cryptocurrency with volatile price.

Base on what you mention. You are a passive trader type so definitely you must not keeping pressuring yourself on investing in cryptocurrency in the long run.

You already sold your bitcoin and made a nice profit, but you can actually hold it for more and not sell at below $40k because once the bitcoin price increases again, the price will be at more than $45k.

Decision wise if you have good understanding with this venue of investment, you can continue working with the market movement. It's still possible position yourself and earned, just need to work out with what would be the next market steps.

But that will not be a problem since you now have much money to buy more bitcoin, and I am sure that the amount of bitcoin you buy will be more than you have before.

Possible but if there's no correction that happened after you sold your assets, the chance to fomo's is very risky since you'll be forced to buy with much higher value.

If you want to hold bitcoin for the long term, then after you buy bitcoin at the downtrend, you need to send your bitcoin in a cold wallet and don't tell other people you keep bitcoin for the long term.

Safe way of investing in a long term process. Keeping your assets inside a safe wallet and not to look on it for longer period of time will allow you to manifest decent to huge profits. History will just repeated itself. Keep calm!

but I am thinking about what to do with the money I took out:

  • Put it in a less volatile investment, as a long term safeguard
Is this what you want ? or just carried away because of the Idea that after a Great Bitcoin pump then surely altcoin season will come?
Quote
  • Reinvest it in BTC as soon as the price drops (it eventually will, but when?)
If you really trusted Bitcoin (obviously you have proven that with 8000$ "FREE" money) then why not re invest since the volatility of bitcoin now is really showing off.

Practically i did this with the 35% of my Holdings but not Bitcoin instead altcoins that i sold and enter the funds more to my Bitcoin holdings.

That is right. Before we decide to invest in the crypto, we should know and learn many things to know which coin can give us earning, learning and analyzing the market that will help us know where the market will move.

If that so, I suggest that he wait for a while because after the price rise, the correction will come again, and sometimes, the price can be down too deep below the price he sells before. So he can have a chance to buy the coin at a low price.

Stay calm will be important, especially to hold the bitcoin in the safe wallet for a long time. We don't need to check the market too often because our purpose is not selling bitcoin in a short time. We will keep bitcoin for the next years and only selling bitcoin when the price is rise higher.

If no longer confident of reinvesting it on bitcoin because you already have it and the initial amount you have isn't going to be used in the future, what you can invest is to look for another asset that you think is good for you in the long term. It can be in the crypto market again in the form of altcoins like Ethereum, Litecoin, BNB, and other altcoins.

And in traditional investments, stocks, bonds, p2p lending, paintings, gold, precious metals, and other assets that appreciate instead of depreciating. You have a lot of choices and I think you are doing it correctly because you will not spend that money you got initially on things that are unnecessary.

From the little experience am having in crypto when investing or trading is better to always take your profits and you can reinvest your capital or you can reinvest your profit and remove your capital, when trading or investing always make sure your capital is safe don't just leave both your capital and profit there. After taking your profit you can reinvest in another coin later and don't always fall in love with a coin.

Hi all,

In the past weeks, I have sold some BTC, and I have my initial investment (about $5000) out. Which means that everything I have in BTC now (about $8000) is "free". That is fine, but I am thinking about what to do with the money I took out:

  • Put it in a less volatile investment, as a long term safeguard
  • Reinvest it in BTC as soon as the price drops (it eventually will, but when?)

In the first case, I have secured my initial investment in the long term, so I won't need to worry about it, but it also won't make much more for me.

In the second case, the potential for gains is much higher, but I still risk losing my initial investment. I don't need the money now, but I would feel sorry about it.

I plan on keeping what I have left in BTC for the long term. My question is purely about the initial investment that I took out again.

What's your opinion? Thanks!

Compounding your profits to make your capital even way more bigger is ideal but the question is, would you able to do so? Not all would really be that capable on making good trades
and making it some constant good or positive results.

If you can able to do that then why not on reinvesting those profits to make it bigger? It will depend if you do really need to pull off those profits for whatever reason you do have.

Its your choice and as long it would really be benefitting you then that would matter most.Every one of us does have goals and preference towards on the profits they do make.
Some decide to re-roll or re-invest and some will really be securing it.

The strategy to use depends on you or something that could you think could work in your situation, most people just buy bitcoin invest in it, and then come back after a few years to see if it has a good profit, they pick that method because they were just not the kind of daily trading guy or they are busy to other work so its the best strategy for them.

And then there are people who buy bitcoin and then sell when the market price is high and then reinvest in bitcoin again when the market price dump for a higher profit.

Probably waiting for a few years might not be worth it compared to daily trading where you could already get your profit, if you don't really need the money, for now, it's better to just invest your money for long term investment. But you could still risk it selling it and then put it in a savings account where it could earn a good interest and then take it out and reinvest again when the market is dump again.

That is a really good idea for you to be able to keep earning, that is depending on you how much you take and how much you will invest since it is your own money. For me, I want to reinvest all of that to have a bigger income in the near future. I don't need fancy things as of now, I can buy the things that I want in the future if I got to make my money bigger by investing in a particular altcoin or even in bitcoin. I don't know how to do day trading, but I might just buy some of the tokens and will hold them for a long time.

I would reinvest but we will be asking the same question; When?

For sure Bitcoin will be having a time that the price is low which also means that it would be a great time to reinvest. Although the chances of it happening are there, we don't know how low and when it will be that low. Despite all of that, I would be reinvesting because for sure, Bitcoin will be having a profitable price in the future.

We invest to make money. The same way we make money to satisfy needs. You're already in profit to an excess $8,000. It's good you have already taken out $5,000. If I were you, I will split that money into 3 and use a quarter of it to give myself a treat. Take yourself out and celebrate that success. Catch a glimpse of life for life has no duplicate. Then plough back the ⅔ into buying credible alts with less market cap. That way you are certain of more profit.

why not do both . divide your initial imvestment , 2500 goes to stable investments for long term and the rest half would go on less stable investments so that you still have a chance to take profits in short term .

if you succesfully take profits i guess that is now the time to allocate some funds for your self for the future , store this funds in a safe or in a bank . by the way nice profits tho , congrats . this proves that having a good capital really  makes you earn good amounts of money

First of all, you have to keep your Initial amount while using the gain, you might not know what may happen next so whether Bitcoin will keep falling or rise by so doing having some few effect on your balance, as for the investment, it would be good to consider performing staking program maybe in Binance exchange where you could be getting return periodically, but this is solely depends on the type of coin you wish to undergo the staking, potential coins are preferable, what's your take on this.

First of all, I want to congratulate you on your earnings, investing in bitcoin is such a great thing to do but about what you are planning to do then maybe the good thing to do for now is to wait until the bitcoin price goes down. The price of bitcoin is still high so it is riskier now to buy and invest it. You should also set a plan, you don't need to invest it all, try to divide it by two invest and convert t real money to the other one.

If I were on your position I think I would just take it and spend it on what my family needs but if you already have all the things that you needed and all the bills are covered then just reinvest it in crypto.
We don't know when is the best time to reinvest or when would be the lowest time for Bitcoin again so for me just spread it out in alt-coin and reinvest some portion in Bitcoin to hold for a long term.

Conventional wisdom places the number at around 30% of profits - with some people suggesting as high as 50%. The actual amount varies but the secret is to reinvest based on an actual strategy as opposed to a set amount/percentage. Each area of your business will need money but you need to maintain a delicate balance.

Diversify your investments by allocating your money into different investment mechanisms available.

While investing in bitcoin may be profitable due to its high volatility, there is always that possibility that the market may crash and its price may significantly decrease without any given notice. I do suggest that you keep the profits and re-invest your initial $5,000 until it profits again.

I also think it's ideal if you invest your money into stocks and bank notes. Focus always on long-term in order to at least maximize your profits. I learned this by experience where I failed to invest into stocks and its price suddenly increased after a few years.

It all depends on the OP's need to reinvest it or not. Waiting for the lowest time is the thing to do. But before that is done, it is better if you manage these funds as well as possible. Don't invest everything in altcoins or pass it on over multiple altcons. Better to use 50% of the funds to enter and wait for the price to drop. The remaining 50% reserve fund will be very useful later when the market continues to bear, so you can buy at the lowest price again.

The best way to do investing is.

put 5k in, when it hits 10k, take out 5k, then keep the other 5k in as a free ride. Now you got nothing to lose and only to gain.

basically when you double up, take out your initial investment.

Bitcoin is increasing a lot so I am not surprised enough if many people get a profit which in my opinion is very large especially for a beginner like you. I suggest you are a beginner because you still ask the question which reflects your current situation, correct me if I am wrong. Someone who gets used to choosing bitcoin as an investment place they will know what should they do when they've got profit/lose.

And as always, I don't have any really good suggestions for you. I don't dare to take the risk that you will face or even if you get profit I won't get anything from you, right? You should know the characteristic how bitcoin price movement, you can compare or equate the previous bitcoin price movements, especially when bitcoin prices rose drastically. That is the technical part, but you have to countervail with fundamental factors, how the current situation that is driving bitcoin prices skyrocketing, I mean the current fundamental factor can stand for a long time or not.

It depends on you when your goal is decided that in which position you want to see you in the future. Because if you are a little bit trier of cryptocurrency then I suggest you that keep your profit. But if you are a high ambition then you should try your best to reach your goal. If you can give full effort to crypto then you can reinvest your initial investment.

maybe if you have made the initial investment in bitcoin and have made a profit, you should invest in other coins maybe try altcoin, use 50% to reinvest in bitcoin and 50% to invest in altcoin. this may seem like an obvious advantage. But the choice comes back to you whether you want to save in savings or reinvest

my dream scenario for this bull run. 40K first stop, drop to 30K then climb to 60k drop to 48 k, last 3rd peak (and last for this bullrun) at 108K and then drop to 25K. sell 80% of your coins between 90-100K and the rest 20% exchange to tether in nano ledger. buy back in a year or two at 25K the same amount of btc at the lowest and go on.
