A year leading up to the Bitcoin halving is when Bitcoin prices is at it's lowest.

Anyone new to Bitcoin needs to buy from now until the halving. Bitcoin prices always go up after the halving from 2016, 2020 and now 2024.

Unfortunately, most people will only buy during the Bitcoin bull run hype during 2025 when the prices are at an all time high. Which is the worst time to buy Bitcoin.

Anyone that is reading this now during the halving year. You're one of the smart investors and understands Bitcoin's history. Buy when it's low. Hold when it's high. Sell at the top.

I mean...obviously the best time to buy is from 6-12 months after the bull run peak, and keep buying up until the halving. But sure if you're talking about from today onward of course the best time to buy is right now and over the next few months before the price continues to build up.

The top? How can one really know the top
Hold till you gain a satisfactory profit
Then take some profit
Never be a nocoiner
January price might likely end up been unavailable again.
Hold but don't forget to control your greed
Never sell at a loss.

There are a lot of people who are reluctant in investing because they seem to be thinking about the price and the total coin they will be accumulating if they start buying now they can do DCA method and accumulate more just in time for halving

Very recommended if there are people out there who are not ready for one big buy but wants to get as much bitcoin as they can

Nothing is certain, and no one will know where the peak is and where the bottom is.
The best time to buy Bitcoin is now, there is no delay in buying, because it will be a long-term investment that will give you real results.

If you continue to delay and delay buying, there will be no real action.
Buying gradually may be an option, so that when the price drops again, you can buy again at a low price.

So whenever it is and if you are ready, it is the best time to buy.
There is no definite time, before the halving, maybe the price will rise or even fall quite drastically.

The best time to buy Bitcoin is when you can afford it. I took this position because Bitcoin is still in the beginning stage and has potential to become more valuable with time. That's is why using the DCA strategy is highly recommended. It is common to for people to buy Bitcoin when the price is going high because of the FOMO. But we should always have in mind that the Bitcoin market is highly unpredictable because it could be influenced by change in political and economic policies mostly in the US.

People who kept procrastinating when to buy Bitcoin ended up not buying because they were waiting for a convenient time when the price would drop very low. I prefer to take the risk than to regret not taking it. As much as you invest what you can afford to live without, just keep stacking.

Yes the best time to buy bitcoin is definitely when it at its low but since we can’t actually predict which time the low will come and bitcoin isn’t like other Alticoins that they will advice you never to buy it’s highs because they come down not all raises again, i will advice you invest in bitcoin when you have the funds and if the price fluctuations is your problem then it is better to use the DCA method.

In the past price history of bitcoin you will notice that the last quarter of the year to bitcoin year is always bearish but last years own price was different due to some fundamental factors, had someone actually waited for the last quarter they wouldn’t have caught bitcoin at the $20k price range. If you look at even institutions like Microstrategy they invest sometimes when even the price is at a high because it’s a DCA method you never can tell which price is the lowest you will witness

If you will really look at the price level per btc, you will get disappointed because of its high price and very few can actually afford such expensive purchase.
Also, don't compare yourself to others. You have your own financial capability in this market. You will get depressed seeing those high figures and feel self-pity for yourself.

Bitcoin is always full of surprises so the rally might actually start earlier than expected. If I wanted to enter this market, I would just make a lump sum investment today and take profits deep into the bull market. Maybe there will be a correction soon and there will be a better price to enter, but the price might as well pump and the opportunity to buy the cheapest pre-bull run coins will be gone.

You have to think that we will need liquidity to sell at the top, right, the people who will enter due to the hype will unfortunately be the liquidity for us to multiply our purchasing power over time.

As the saying goes: while some cry, others sell tissues.

you should be careful in suggesting when to buy, currently the price has double since it was 21000$ last year for me I would not recommend it, this will only benefit the holders and not the first timers, others where correct to buy after a few months since there were going to be corrections on the price and that is the right time not today, but appreciate how you encourage people to get a piece of the pie , though there should be right timing for buying not only by impulse and emotion.

The best time to buy Bitcoin isn't the time of halving, the halving event is the last chance for investors to earn some profits if they invest in Bitcoin. The best time to buy Bitcoin is when it gets huge dips during the long lasting bear market. In the previous bear market the best time to buy Bitcoin was in December 2022 when it was trading below $17k a coin. The ones who invested in Bitcoin during that time have already made 2x profits even before the halving event.

Now the main question is when to buy Bitcoin to have profits. I think in that sense the best time to buy Bitcoin is when someone see a huge dip. Dip buying and DCA strategy has helped so many investors to earn huge profits. If someone follows that pattern of dip buying and DCA method then they will surely make a lot of profit in long term. The halving event is the last opportunity for the investors to buy Bitcoin after that Bitcoin's price will move upward most of the times.

If you want to buy at the ideal time, then $16,000 is definitely the most ideal price for the coming years, but trying to buy at any price between 20,000 and 50,000 may be considered a cheap price for Bitcoin compared to the coming years. Therefore, the time now is ideal, and it will remain so until the price begins to rise in the beginning of 2025.
Buy now if you want to trade within a year or two, and if you are planning for more than 10 years, the price at the present time will not make a difference. April 22, 2024 may not be ideal because some people buy before halving, and if a correction occurs in the coming days, it will be an ideal opportunity.

We've heard this advice over again, and though it is good advice, yet we should not be 100% emphatic that Bitcoin will have that massive bullish movement. What if it drops so much before the rise? I am expecting a bullish movement myself but I will not ever expect it in an outrageous manner because of the current price of Bitcoin, it is too high and it would not be so wise for me to believe that the way it has been moving before in which it had multiple price movements that multiply the current price would happen again.

I will forever think twice in this regard and I am sure that the best that can happen now is for Bitcoin to first hit the ATH, and if successfully broken, which I know it would, will proceed higher and aim for $100,000. Anything after that is no longer on my radar, but still, my instincts are still pointing to $112,000 over this time. This means that the coin would have hit about 2 times its present ATH which is not bad at all as far as I am concerned. Halving is so powerful in Bitcoin appreciation in price but we should also be mindful of the pre-halving movements of the market, who knows if it will be negative now and in the next few months, even as we already see? It could be aggravated and it would be a plus for those who are patient, they might still buy at lower price if they could be patient and study the charts more closely.

In the previous cycles the highest prices where seen the year after the halving event with a large correction in the 2nd year post halving. So yes anytime until the halving is a good time to buy or you may have to wait a couple of years after the halving.
Try to have an idea of when Bitcoin is undervalued. For e.g Bitcoin at 20k was a bargain (52 week low) and buy at these times. For newcomers whenever you invest you need to understand the utility of the product/company that you are investing in and so even during the corrections you will hold fast and won't be tempted to liquidate. So do your research, buy at discounts and hold.

That's too broad! How many months? 1? 2? 6? 24?!
For example if you take this upcoming halving, the last time bitcoin price was at its lowest was a year ago on January 2023 when price was sitting at $15k which was also the bottom. The closer we get to the halving the higher the price is going to go.

In other words, your statement is wrong. The months leading to halving are the month with highest prices not lowest. If anyone wants to buy bitcoin, they should do it faster.
The closer we get to halving, is the better time for day traders to make small profit from the quick volatility that happens with short lived ups and downs.

That's different though. The big bull runs never happen around halving. In fact halving is usually in the middle of or closer to the start of the big bull runs.
The halving bull run itself is a rather small and short lived rise followed by a small correction before the bigger rises start, historically speaking of course.

You can do it any time because bitcoin investment is a long time project and if you want to invest in alt coins then you can buy from now because bitcoin halving is not much time if you see the previous halvings the market starts a lot of bull run after halving so  You can buy from now but before buying you should have a thought in your mind that whatever you buy buy on DCA method.

1st halving lowest was before Feb 2011.
2nd halving lowest was in Feb 2015.
3rd halving lowest was in Feb 2019.

Literally the lowest was happen a year before halving event, which mean the lowest on the next ATH was last year! where Bitcoin price was $20K-ish.

Now you're create a thread about best time to buy Bitcoin in this year, when the best time to buy Bitcoin was the last year. ::)

If people start buying bitcoin during a bull run, they won't get to the bottom of bitcoin. In that time, the price of bitcoin has been rising little by little and if they had bought at that price, they might have seen a lot of correction in those days. That can make them worry because there is no guarantee that the price can stay at that price.
And if the price of bitcoin experiences the deepest correction again, it will clearly make them panic and some of them will sell their bitcoin and hope to buy it at the lowest price.
But they only started buying bitcoin again after the price increased instead of buying when the price was at a low price. This has happened to many people so that only a few people can actually take the time to buy bitcoin when the price is at its lowest price.
Now is still a good time to buy bitcoin because the price is still low and there hasn't been a very high increase.

With Bitcoin you won't get much profit by trading for a short period of time. Holding Bitcoin for a long period of time will do you good. There is no alternative to buying Bitcoin, now is a very good time to buy Bitcoin. Moreover, there is Bitcoin halving in the month of April. Which can have a positive impact on Bitcoin. You can buy bitcoins continuously without buying them at all. If the price drops so that you can buy again and again. The best time to buy Bitcoin is whenever you are ready to buy.
After the halving, the price of Bitcoin may go up or down.

What OP is pointing out is that you can maximize your purchasing value if you buy bitcoin 2 months before the halving because that's the time that bitcoin is at its lowest and then start a really huge price pump that would lead to some getting more profit out of the bitcoin that you've brought. Yes, what you're saying is correct but you should also know when to get the most when opportunity presented itself like what OP is saying.

Not really. Not everyone here is an investor nor do they understand Bitcoin's history. Surely this thread will be read by many crypto newbies who just signed up this month and are trying to understand where they should start. But they are lucky that it's not too late yet. They have come to a place where they might get some good ideas about Bitcoin.

These are ideal facts for any coins. Even though it sounds too easy, it is the hardest thing in crypto. Especially it's hard for crypto newbies like me to understand if it's already a bull run or not. We don't know if it's the correct time to buy or not. Maybe we are too late already? Bitcoin was around 27K range for a while and I am lucky that I have saved some satoshies.

And the sad part is - people will read and still won't take any action. It is human nature and note that not everyone is destined to make it. Btc was as low as 20k few weeks back and people where busy calling for below 10k, such people are still hoping to buy btc at below 10k  :D
I don't think btc will go lower than 20k before the bull finally hit and many people did not take advantage of the opportunity. It is one thing to put this type of message out there and it is another thing for people to act on it.
There will always be the ATH buyers, they are the type that buy high and sell low and then call btc a scam for their lack of understanding the market.  ;D

If money is not a problem to you I think now is the best time to buy because if you keep on waiting you will end up buying on higher prices than what we have today. If only money is not a problem to me I will surely buy Bitcoin on a DCA weekly basis for years because as we can see on chart prices continue to rally upwards regardless of halving.

The month towards Bitcoin halving is never a good time to buy Bitcoin because at that time the rise in the price of Bitcoin is usually relatively high due to the demand at that time which causes the surge that leads to increase in price of Bitcoin but then buy now will be much better because the prices you will get at this time is such that you may never get again as Bitcoin may be heading to a new ATH after the halving which means it may not come back to the former pris it's currently at so it's better you buy now if you want to invest in Bitcoin as against the halving and forth coming Bull run.

For investors now is the best time to start buying Bitcoin because the halving is few months away after which the bull run which will be the time prices may just increase and wouldn't be a good time to buy.

2 periods past the halving period, the ATH price is always reached after a few months. Maybe this period will be the same, but it could be different.  If you want to buy then start today. Indeed, many people want to get the best moment to get a lot of profit.  I am also like that, but I don't have a target month to buy. What is certain is that my analysis comes in and makes me confident to buy or hold BTC. Because I always try to multiply BTC by trading other Altcoins. So don't worry, you can multiply BTC not only hold and store.

Not really, the price can go down prior to the halving and we have seen examples of this on the past, however if you want to buy bitcoin at the lowest price during a cycle then you need to do this a few months after the bear market has taken hold, as that is the moment when you can find bitcoin at its lowest price, as at the time many people are pessimistic about its future and speculators prefer to stay away from it, since they cannot obtain the profits they could before and prefer to move their money to other markets.

I don't know how price will move before the halving but I am quite sure that price will be up months after the halving. With this belief bases on history of Bitcoin cycles, I consider any dip before the halving will give us good prices to accumulate more bitcoin as our proactive preparation for Bitcoin bull run.

I can not say how deep Bitcoin corrections will be and any dip is good to buy. If you want to find some prices like perfect ones, you will miss dips. If you luckily see price dips to EMA 200 (daily) or EMA 21 (weekly), don't waste those opportunities to buy Bitcoin. Because when Bitcoin starts its bull run, price will mainly stay above those EMA lines.

The best time to buy is when you have enough budget with you after you have spent enough money on your essential needs, after that you could try to look at the crypto market to see if the bitcoin price is reasonable, and if it's not, you can just wait a little longer just like what sometimes happened when the bitcoin price decreased a little bit and when you see that, go ahead and buy. If not, then consider holding it until you find the right time to buy and consider it a strategy in order to maximize your earnings and avoid unnecessary decisions while you only have limited money to spend on your Bitcoin investment.

it may or may not mate , we can expect to buy those days because in the history those
days are the season when the price is really dumping but there are things we need to consider now as
the Bitcoin Spot ETF is already approved and with that? there might be changes in the market movement
 in the next coming days and months, we may not experience dumping not like the past before halving
season?

It's not that easy to buy Bitcoin in full whereas it is easy to take a position. The highly recommended way to do this is by using DCA, which means making similar ongoing investments either every week or month. The other important thing to keep in mind is to invest the money that can be afforded to lose. If anyone invests a lump sum amount then due to Bitcoin's volatility the value of that amount in USD may dip or rise. Since it is a highly risky approach that is why DCA is recommended.

That's how you see things around Bitcoin, it doesn't mean that others will think and do the same, the best time for me was in 2022 so far, even all the altcoins I bought at that period are so damn good in value right now.

The best time people should have invested in Bitcoin was in 2022, even if there will be massive correction now you aren't going to see 16k Bitcoin again, while everyone are waiting for 10k it never happened, the train already left.

Buying now doesn't mean you won't make money, but the best opportunity to have bought is already gone, 16k per Bitcoin was the best price ever, this is why waiting is dangerous.

I have not experienced halving before so I can't advocate for it for anyone to buy and the best time I have meant for anyone to buy Bitcoin was the time of 2022 when Bitcoin was 16k$ and I know that plenty people bought it at that time and now they are making profit. And we don't know how low the price will be in the halving period in this year. And we are all assuming that the price will go down in the halving time. When the time comes we will see how it will be.

Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is considered a prudent strategy for investing in Bitcoin because it involves consistently buying a fixed amount of Bitcoin at regular intervals, regardless of its price fluctuations.
This approach helps mitigate the impact of short-term market volatility, reducing the risk of making poor investment decisions based on short-term price movements. DCA allows investors to spread their purchases over time, potentially capturing both highs and lows in the market, and it aligns with the long-term potential of Bitcoin as an asset class.

By doing DCA, you'll not even have to think about the "best time to buy Bitcoin is around the time of Bitcoin Halving: April 22, 2024"  ;D

The op's saying that the price of Bitcoin is at its lowest in the months leading up to halving, but then shares a chart that doesn't support that claim, the way I see it. The months before the first halving enjoyed a fairly high price, higher than a year before halving, for instance. Then at the second halving, the price in the months leading to it was also decent and higher than a year ago. Then the same pattern is visible, with the next halving and the price being at its lowest more than a year before the halving event.
So months before halving might be a good time to buy, assuming that the price will never return to the same price point (which does seem to be supported by the chart, more or less), but it's not the best time in general.

The crypto market is always full of risk. So you need to balance risk management before entering the unpredictable world. Although bullish market is very tempting but without using strategic approach you will definitely not be able to profit. You have to wait before the market goes deep. Remember, if you don't buy at the right time, there is no chance of good profit.

It's difficult to say when investing in other markets or purchasing Bitcoin is best. It is essential to acknowledge that the data I am sharing is predicated on our present comprehension as of January 2022. The next half of Bitcoin is anticipated for April 22, 2024. It halves every four years. This is finished, based on my most recent update. Half of Bitcoin's value has come from increased interest and bullish market behavior. Bitcoin creation is slowing due to a halving of supply. Numerous factors influence the cryptocurrency market, and there is a complicated relationship between price fluctuations and halving events.
Macroeconomic trends, governmental regulations, advancing technology, and market conditions should all be considered when making investment decisions. Furthermore, there can be significant fluctuations in the value of cryptocurrencies, and historical performance doe only sometimes indicates future results.
Research the market and consult with financial professionals if you want to purchase Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency. It would help to base your decisions on your market knowledge, financial objectives, and risk tolerance because all investments carry some risk.

This is true, we are not sure what the future holds, we can't really be clear on when would be the best time to do something like this, we could assume but we can't be really certain about it, so we can't really make any big changes in the end.

I hope that we could get to a point where it would not be all that simple, and this means that we are going to end up with a lot of trouble if we are not careful. Do not assume that it is going to be all that easy, it is not that easy and we are not going to get anything major out of this. I hope that people would be able to see that working, and if it is actually good then we are going to end up with just buying "whenever" and holding for dear life until the price goes supernova on us.

Bitcoin price is not predictable, no one will know when the price will be very low to buy, that is why DCA method is the best method of buying bitcoin irrespective of the price if you will be holding your bitcoin for long term.
You can also buy from now since the price is still reasonable as it is not yet up to its all-time high.
Buy now and enjoy letter.

The better day of buying bitcoin is today. The second one is tomorrow, and the third one is the day after tomorrow. Every day/week or month we have the opportunity of buying some sats, whatever its price.

The best time to buy bitcoins is not tomorrow, but yesterday as I have read many times from the forum.

bitcoins were as low as figures below 30k at some time, now it is trying to even reach 50k. I do not think bitcoins will ever be so low like lower than 30k before the halving will occur, so many investors have already missed the chance of investing yesterday.

To potential new investors who are still unsure, start investing from today.

That was a very wise comment to learn for today ;)

Bitcoin got as low as $17-18k recently and at that time people were afraid to buy because they were afraid that the price will crash more and more and they will lose their investment. Ironically when the price goes up, same people get afraid from buying again but at this time because the price is high right now ::)
I wonder know what's the best price to buy Bitcoin for them! For me, it is whenever possible.

And when it drops very low, what happens?
They are afraid to buy because they are worried that prices will continue to fall, so there is no right time for them, they are too blind to buy.
Waiting for the price is very cheap and when it is reached it is not used properly.

But when prices start to rise and even higher, they are too FOMO to buy at high prices and eventually enter at peak prices.
Many experience such incidents due to lack of understanding and not good management.
Do not follow FOMO to buy, because it will definitely be at a high price.

Thats a pretty good suggestion but when talking about timing I think it depends on how the strategy you want to use because in the end this will also be very influential.

Buying during a bull run is not wrong but on the other hand this goes back to the initial situation where whether we can afford it or not because IMO until now the best time is the time when we can buy bitcoin comfortably and without any interference from other needs.
I say things like this because I'm doing it because right now I'm still using the DCA strategy just like most people today so when you can afford the amount of budget you have set and not too disruptive to your life in terms of other needs related to finance it is still the best time for me.
There is no wrong time only whether we are ready or not with the risks that will be faced later because buying and selling is a very easy situation to do but to maintain when you have bought so as not to rush to sell and keep holding it is a difficult period to do.

I would always say that the best time to buy bitcoin is at its dips, but knowing we can’t predict when will be bitcoin at its deepest price, then probably the best time to buy is now. Regardless of the current price of bitcoin, if you keep on waiting for the perfect entry, you might end up losing another opportunity to invest. So I prefer to say that now is the best time to invest. Take it or leave it, bitcoin has great potentials to succeed so we should not miss any opportunity to buy and hold.

Thanks for sharing information chat display, because it stated clear and well explanation for new investors and newbie on how Bitcoin price increases after Bitcoin halving and is a result of scarcity of Bitcoin where demand is always higher than supply in the cryptocurrency market and 2024 Bitcoin halving is at the corner and is the best time to buy and hold, while wait for Bull Run session market.

Wait, what happened in 2025? I don't recall any news about 2025 bull run hype, every year have a same chance to have bull run hype. Or am I missing something here?

Your best time to buy Bitcoin is now. So you won't miss the price if you are looking for long-term hodling. 1% in last 24h and I think it would be better to buy now if you can afford some. If you're a "smart investor" then you should now that if you buy at the specific time and you miss the timing window, then your patience is worthless.

Depends on who is defining the top. I think it’s safer and better to have targets than speculating if Bitcoin has gotten to the top or not. If you set a target, you’ll wait and once it hits, you leave with content. But then, I do not suggest short term investment with Bitcoin. I know that many people right now are hoping that during the Bull run their money will skyrocket, haha! I hope they learn on time to not set a timeframe for Bitcoin because it moves at its own speed.

The best time to buy bitcoin is not actually prior to bullish or bearish trend, but definitely now wherein you have sufficient capital to invest and you have acquired adequate knowledge and understanding on the crypto market. Bitcoin is highly volatile, so no matter how you timing buying it, it will always fluctuate its price and still end up dumping or pumping high. Buy regardless of the price, using your capital that you are comfortable to lose. That way, you will never end up regretting whatever the outcome of your decision.

We cannot be sure of anything, but we can make a close guess. People who are expecting the halving prepare for it several years in advance, so it is always about patience and strong hands. But there are those who, knowing the entire history of Bitcoin price growth, are still waiting for the best price to buy, year after year, losing their opportunities. These people will always be there, but not within the ownership practice.
Probably a little overstated, but the expression applies here: “According to your faith, it will be given to you.”

???
But most people are hoping and aiming to buy or buy Bitcoin at the perfect time.
And this Bitcoin block halving for me is one of the best indicators, that you can start buying Bitcoin months before the Bitcoin block halving, not days before or weeks before.
About the capital, that's already given, it's not a problem at the beginning, offcourse you need money before you can invest.

I can not be sure about market bottom and top but I spent time to learn about market cycle, how long it lasted in previous three cycles and I can draw my plan to buy and exit.

I don't see reasons to buy at bottom or exit at top because I know I will never make it correctly. My plan is accumulate bitcoin in bearish months that are in bottom range and exit the market when a market top is around. I can exit before the top or after the top but I will avoid to miss a chance to take profit and stuck in 2 or 3 years of bear.

I agree that people who are outsiders only speculate about the market and they always fee fearful to join so they have no practice in this market. Their speculations have very little value without practical experience.

You will be too late if you buy too close to the day of the actual event, because the hype cycle starts almost 2 to 3 months in advance, so the price of Bitcoin would have already been pumped by the hype, before it happens.

This is seen in the latest hype event, where the price went up before the news was announced that the spot Bitcoin ETF were approved.

In any way... a lot can happen before the "Halving" takes place and negative news might absorb any price increase that might happen during this hype cycle.

actually it is not only in before or halving season mate when to invest but even when the after halving season because the bull only comes in short period but the bear stays longer so why need to have small chance of timing but instead we are given longer like a year after the year of halving.

Many are hoping that after the Bitcoin halving, the price of Bitcoin will be halved and then they will start investing in Bitcoin. We have seen Bitcoin price below $30,000 for the past few months and from there it has increased to almost $48,000 in just two months. Many have regretted that maybe the right time to buy Bitcoin was when the price of Bitcoin was below $30,000. Those who invested Bitcoin back then must have earned good profits.

I don't know when is the right or best time to buy bitcoins but when I get the chance or when I have the money I keep my bitcoin investments in Dollar Cost Averaging method. By adopting this method I was able to enrich my investment portfolio.

If you can still see prices correcting now why wait later? that's the question for you when you have bought at some point as long as before the halving the current price is still worth buying. By delaying when you already know what will happen during the Halving, you will miss out on several percent profits. Even though the difference is quite small at least investors who want to immediately join in the Halving momentum this is the right time. Because of the limited time approaching the halving, it often creates a dilemma in placing a buy position. Therefore people  who have already been active with their DCA no longer need to worry about deciding when to sell because  their targets are clear.

Agreed, I have made same opinion and voiced it out as well in couple of my responses because most of the people especially the newbies they end up investing heavily when the Bitcoin is at peak of bullrun and then end up losing huge by selling during the dump. They have limited option as either they have to hodl it for years or panic sell in loss and users prefer the later option as the emotion play major role here after seeing the dump which usually happens post bull run.

In short 2024 is the year of accumulating Bitcoins and not 2025 as 2025 is to make profits with the existing funds which we accumulate in 2024.

We can't tell what might happen after this years halving, it can be the same as the past bull market where it gained a momentum first before skyrocketing or it might go the other way. All we can do is to speculate with the history and speculate on where and what price should we buy to maximize our profits. My take on buying on halving is it is fine for me for others to buy, I'm sure that when the bull market comes, we all hodlers will be making profits. DCA is a good strategy for me to apply in this situation, you don't need to wait till halving to accumulate. It is proven and tested by me since I'm bullish on bitcoin since last year.

Buying bitcoin during bull season is actually a bad idea, but the future is unpredictable. None of us have evidence to prove that history will definitely repeat itself again, it's all just predictions and nothing is certain. Therefore, the idea of buying bitcoin when the halving event takes place is not really a good idea.

I agree with you, DCA is the best way to buy bitcoin that we have because no one can know when the bull market will come and bitcoin will make a new ATH. I also hope history repeats itself, but I will not be subjective to the point of not having a backup plan like many others because the future is unpredictable. Everything is possible.

The upcoming halving of Bitcoin's block reward is undoubtedly a big deal.  I mean, in the past we've seen some wild price jumps after these things and  makes sense - less new bitcoin being created means increased scarcity.  But, as you know, nothing's guaranteed here.  Maybe history rhymes but it doesnt always repeat. 

Still, the halvings do get people all excited and dreaming.  And perception shapes reality in investing.  So I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a hunch 2024 is gonna be a good year for Bitcoin holders.  Of course a whole lot else factors into prices too.

I think until they can't afford, it is always the right time to adopt Bitcoin for those who are holding Bitcoin for long-term. Among the long-term holders, you will find several types of long-term holders, some may be holding for one year, some for four years and some for 10 years. Those who are genuine long-term holders are always holding Bitcoin whenever they get the chance.
For those who invest in Bitcoin only focusing on the bull-run, now is definitely the opportunity to buy Bitcoin because I also think that the price of Bitcoin will be around 40k to 50k range in 2024. Moreover, if you look at the past history, Bitcoin always start bull market during its halving period end. So I would say that whole 2024 is the best time to buy Bitcoin not just the first quarter.

People buying at this time are obviously under informed or this is the time they have the money to invest into it. That’s a wrong time to buy but if they can get to buy before hitting its all time high, they can still get some profits from the investment.


This is the best strategy to use if you’re a holder of bitcoin and if you follow it closely, you’ll be amongst the people that will succeed and make a lot of profit after the bull run when it is at the peak.

If we look at the graph you posted carefully, the first halving event caused the price to rise immediately. This wasn't the case with the 2nd and 3rd halving events. You can see on the image that bitcoin was following a downward trajectory the second and third time, before the prices moved upwards to reach new all-time-highs. It's going to be interesting to see how it will act this time around.

I also think the bull season will not happen when the halving happens. It will take at least 1 or even 2 years after the halving if you look at your charts. or maybe sooner at the end of this year or early next year.
the situation is of course very likely to be different. but looking at the current price, this is indeed the best price to buy more Bitcoin. everyone hopes it will break the ATH throughout Bitcoin price history.
for those who are preparing Bitcoin investment plans currently. staying calm and persevering is the best choice.

This has already happened, so there are strong predictions that the same thing will happen after the next halving. When the price of Bitcoin will reach its highest and lowest it is difficult to find a solid answer to predictions, but historical data corroborates speculation that the price will increase after the halving.
Currently it is still categorized as being at the lowest price and this is still a good opportunity to buy.

If most people only buy during bull runs, it means very few people are buying now. Maybe that narrative doesn't quite fit. Usually people who don't understand or know the history of Bitcoin prices will probably buy Bitcoin when Bitcoin prices are really high.

Often, we see the question: Is this the right time to buy bitcoin? during the bull run. But now they are ignoring accumulating bitcoin when it's cheap. I agree with the OP; after each halving, Bitcoin seems to pump hard. So we might see a real bull after the halving. It's most likely the end of this year or the beginning of 2025. I will prefer the DCA strategy to accumulate bitcoin right now. Today, Bitcoin is trading in the $41K zone, which is a buy point as well. I am not sure if we can see Bitcoin below $30K before halving. So DCA will work well at the moment.

The best time to buy is when bitcoin price is at its deepest. But knowing its hard to predict whether the price is at its deepest or not, then definitely I would always recommend that the best time to buy is when you are ready to buy and lose some funds. Investing is not all about profits but certainly losses as well, so whether the market becomes bullish or bearish, or when bitcoin halving is around the corner, I guess the best time to buy is when you and your funds and emotions are all ready.

I don't agree with the fact that this is the best time to buy bitcoin or even any month going ahead before the bitcoin halven cycle, this is because many times, it has been proven beyond doubt that 4-5 month before bitcoin halven, the price at that point is already expensive and should be closely watched, this is why we have to develop a concuse approach to the whole thing as regards to bitcoin halven and it resultant price effects along the line, this is because at that point when halven is already near, the price of bitcoin would have become very expensive.

I think at this point, is already too late to buy bitcoin unless you are a big bag holder who can afford to spend such huge amount of dollars to buy bitcoin, this is why we have two kinds of bitcoin investors, we have the pocket buyers/holders, secon we have the whales who are the bag holder's and can change the face of the market at any point in time.

Obviously, the calculated time seems to be after the bullrun effect has died down a little. I think the best time to buy is when the market is bearish.

Every time is the right time to buy as we gradually advance towards global adoption, its gonna be more expensive as we progress with adoption, pending when that is achieved, it is still early to buy Bitcoin.

Indeed, when the funds are ready, there is no harm in buying Bitcoin in an adjusted amount. Even now is a good time to prepare for the halving in April, but you need to remember to prepare reserve funds to buy back if the scenario is that the price goes down again, because basically we all believe that Bitcoin will experience an increase and we will get a profit as expected. and many predictions are emerging, so we must be able to trust personal analysis

I agree with you that the best time to invest in bitcoin is when we are ready, but not buying bitcoin during the bear season and buying during the bull season would be a bad decision. The market has only two trends: up and down, so even if you have money and are willing to invest in bitcoin, but if it is a bullish market, you should not rush to buy at that time because the risk of losing money will be higher when you buy them in a bear market. So when you are ready to buy bitcoin, but you also need to consider the market situation to make a decision.

If you invest in bitcoin, you can't make any profit by investing for a short period of time. You have to wait for a long time to get profit from bitcoin. If you want to invest in bitcoin, you have to lose slowly. When the price of bitcoin is very low.  You have to invest time and when the price of bitcoin increases then you have to sell the bitcoins and wait for a few days and when the price of bitcoin starts to decrease then you can buy bitcoin again.

We're not certain if history will repeat itself. Because anything unexpected is always possible to occur so we must be prepared for it and not just relying on what happened before. That being said, the best time to buy Bitcoin is when the price is declining and you can afford it.

Some investors prefer to join the ride when the price is already increasing even it's quite risky. We know it's not the ideal time to accumulate but they don't want to wait for long and wanted to engage themselves when the market is already in bull run. Not advisable but we can't coerce them to do as we say since we have different strategy.

This proves that each bitcoin halving may also have a different effect on its price, so the best thing we can do here is not to rely on bitcoin halving if we plan to enter bitcoin investment. It could be bullish or bearish, we really don’t know. But one thing that is certain, if we start buying now, then we can always take advantage on the effect of bitcoin halving, most especially if it creates a high price for bitcoin afterwards.

Just buy when your finances are all set. Don’t worry if you don’t easily make profits, at least you’re not at loss as well.

Since the Bitcoin halving will take place in 2024, the price of Bitcoin is very low in the current position. Now is the best time to invest With market momentum currently at normal levels, now is the right time to invest in Bitcoin if any investor feels the urge to invest. Looking at the halving of 2020, the price of Bitcoin was at a low point during the year of the halving, and the price of Bitcoin reached an all-time high shortly after the halving date ended. So even in 2024, such a situation can be observed, the Bitcoin price is at a low speed during the halving period, invest in 2024 itself.

People cannot expect a lot from halving event since there are times that people maybe got used to those events and they are tired for acquiring since they think they might not get the result they want to see. That's why its really better to wait for something to come like more good news to happen since we don't know if we can continue to see a dump or just like the same with old times where bitcoin price goes up plus demand will continue to come since to many people still buying even if the figures is so high.

If you can't afford to do DCA with current situation maybe just buy those volumes you can afford since it still good if you do short trades at the moment since your choice will always since whatever makes you happy that's fine as long as they get profit from what they do then its still rewarding.

Well, we can force them either. They are not investor and not in their minds to take risks even though they know that Bitcoin is profitable.
Only those who understand crypto will have the courage to invest while the others just ignore the potentiality of this project. It was not new to see people's rejection but I know sooner or later, they will realize and see the value of this project.

We can never say we are at the best time to buy because, for me, the time is during bear season. It is an individual choice and the most important is that we do something before the ATH comes.

Are you sure? It seems to me that you are living in a big delusion and that you don't know what the price of BTC was just 1 year ago.

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/01/19/3Kvha.png


It's not smart for me to invest in something that today costs $40k+, and a little more than 1 year ago it cost only $15k+. Everyone who thinks like you has no idea what they are talking about...

I don't agree with this, because if you follow this logic, it will never be worth investing in bitcoin, as it is always appreciating.... imagine if I had thought in 2022 that BTC was worth 1 USD a few years earlier, why would I Would you buy it for 16 thousand dollars? It wouldn't make sense.

You should think about the fundamentals that make it valuable, not the price of the screen. DCA always!

Apart from that, there must be preparations such as reserve funds and personal analysis of various conditions, including the conditions of the crypto market itself. We also need to read some analysis from people who are experienced and very trusted in this matter so that everyone can make adjustments to what they will do before the halving occurs this year. Because now it is quite appropriate for everyone to prepare funds again and buy more Bitcoin at a price range that is already quite cheaper than before.

You can disagree with what I wrote as much as you want, but the OP literally claims "Best time to buy Bitcoin is around the time of Bitcoin Halving: April 22, 2024", which literally means what it says - and that is that the best time to invest in Bitcoin is around the time of the halving, and I claim that there is a much better time for those who consider Bitcoin only an investment and nothing more.

This is not about DCA as you think, but about wrong advice to all those who will read this. For maximum profit, you buy at the bottom, not when the price is three times higher than that.

It's not going to be the best time, trust me, I don't know the future but I do believe that the best buying time for Bitcoin was at 17,000 and now that is gone already, the halving period can be a good time too but don't expect the massive dip like 17,000 again.

The lowest I expect this year will be in the thirty k range and I still believe that many people will end think we are going back to 10k, well good luck with that, this is how many people always miss good buying opportunities and they will have no choice but to buy higher after.

It was a long time ago that the price of Bitcoin was 17000 dollars.The price of Bitcoin has been between $40,000 and $42,000 for the past few days, perhaps the best time to buy Bitcoin is still upon us.

As you mentioned when the price of bitcoin was 17 thousand dollars those who did not invest in bitcoin are now regretting it and now the price of bitcoin is 410000 dollars so those who are not investing in bitcoin yet when the price of bitcoin increases will also regret it like before.

So everyone should invest in Bitcoin using DCA method to avoid regret. But there are also some investors who are waiting for the price of Bitcoin to fall. I think they should invest in Bitcoin now instead of waiting as the price of this coin has dropped a lot.

For me, the trend of buying bitcoin is durable because bitcoin is the most trusted asset in the history of crypto investment, if this time thinks the time is right, it is possible that tomorrow night will turn around deeper correction before there is a price continuation, meaning that in and out of assets the interaction of traders and buyers depends on what bitcoin will be used for, until there is a crowd to buy. Btw to save bitcoin is good advice and everyone has a different art of entry point.

Many are talking about countdown, past and after like a new life happens after halving, what we will be later is that the minner will decrease. not like halving 5 years ago until it was really felt in life and the economy the impact of bitcoin skyrocketed, especially hardwhare. If the halving comes with the countdown time maybe I will be happy I can't imagine how very impatient the time is waiting for, I will save bitcoin maybe regularly every week to welcome.

This is just the opposite of the question of when to buy Bitcoin and the answer is as long as we can afford it [after other important needs are met] and have the desire to buy it.
The halving event is an event that is awaited and longed for by holders according to a survey I conducted myself by reading various existing articles and opinions.
If halving becomes light, then the current situation is a star where later the moon will come which will make the star disappear.

Bitcoin's previous all-time high was $69,044.77. So the price of $40.9k - $42k - $45k is a very reasonable price to buy while waiting for the moon to cover the stars in light.
In a matter of 24 hours now, the price of Bitcoin has decreased by 4%. Imagine if we buy at prices like now, how much return we will get when the previous all-time high price is passed and reaches a new all-time high price.

Buy low, yes. And at this time because the prices in previous months can no longer be purchased because they have passed.

Really, after your explanation, your previous answer makes complete sense.

I only considered the price region and not the exact day and time. Seen from this point of view, the OP is really completely wrong, it is impossible to give a specific date to buy with that precision.

Because the theory of cycle dynamics is completely different, there are many, many variables along the way.

I'm glad you understood what the OP was saying and what I was trying to explain. If we look at investing only from the perspective of price, then by following the four-year cycle, we can quite well detect when the price will be the lowest in that period. On the other hand, there is another factor when it comes to investing in Bitcoin, and that is the time factor.

Some investors will prefer to wait as long as possible, whether it is the time just before the halving, or the first signs of a bull run after the halving - because the price is obviously less important to them, and their goal is to make as much profit as possible in the shortest possible period. For those who invest a lot of money, this strategy probably pays off, because when the big bull run starts, you can earn 100% or more in a very short period of time.

If you invest say $100 000 or $1 million when the price is say $50 000, that makes a big difference in terms of profit compared to someone who invested at a much lower price, but invested much less money.

You are correct about human nature and that most people will still not take any action after reading reasonable positive advice.  ;D

Yep I was trying explain a basic strategy to invest in Bitcoin for newbies. Bitcoin halving is a good low range but it's not the lowest price. I shouldn't have said that Bitcoin halving is the lowest price because it's not.

You are correct. 16k was the lowest price within that past 2 years.

Good advice and that's the most popular advice is to buy the dip. Buying the dip is a strategy never fails long term.

Thanks. I was just explaining a basic strategy of buying Bitcoin before the Bitcoin halving even months after the Bitcoin halving the prices are still at a low price before the bull run starts.

I read everyone's insightful opinion I changed the thread title to "Best time to buy Bitcoin now and before the Bitcoin Halving: April 22, 2024" 

Basically, Bitcoin is volatile, we can't 100% predict the price. Bitcoin has lowest prices in the past and highest prices in the future. That's why investing in Bitcoin today is the best strategy.

I bought Bitcoin today January 22, 2024

Does bitcoin have best time you can invest in bitcoin so I know quite well that bitcoin investment is something I know that we can as well do at any point in time, so therefore I believe that Investing in bitcoin doesn't have any duration you can invest anytime for someone to invest investment is something that you have no measurement but only what you have to do is to mention that you will make a research concerning what you want to invest on so that you will not end up and losing whatever thing that you invested or capital you use for the investment

Gone are the days when we are seeing bitcoin at $17k. The lowest price drop speculated this time may only be until $30k or $25k, and I think that’s still a good buy in preparation for the bitcoin bull run. Let’s be more realistic and not focus on what is hard to bring back. Just buy bitcoin today and continue to DCA in the next days, believe me you will still ride the hype when the bull market is here for real.

The most appropriate time to buy is 2 years post halving. usually 1 year post halving the price will reach its latest ath. then drop to its low point 1 year later.
So you buy time in 2022 is a very good time.
But even before halving, buying coins is also good and good. because 1 year after halving the coin price will definitely skyrocket towards its latest ATH.

Buying bitcoin is two different situations, one is when you do not have money and putting yourself at risk when you are trying to buy, and another would be not buying bitcoin when you already have money and just do not want to risk it by putting it in bitcoin. The part where you have the money but not the courage is the biggest problem.

If people with excess money that they could afford to buy bitcoin but do not have the courage and fear buying bitcoin all ended up buying bitcoin, we would be over 200k by now, maybe closer to 500k. There are billions in the world who go to waste on silly stuff like bank interests, why would you want to make somewhere between 1% to 10% in horrible savings when you could just buy bitcoin with it?

I don’t know what needs to happen for there to be a dip to 30 thousand. So far everything looks calmer and many are in accumulation mode, even the last adjustment that took place the other day was quite quickly returned to the previous values, since there are not many people willing to sell at current prices freeze in anticipation of the halving and closer to it the situation will be more clear.

For investor they not thinking about the best time for investing in bitcoin before the halving upcoming two months later, they have faith with bitcoin the best investment assets in the future and keep accumulate bitcoin every moment have without take care price up or down. I have difference way for investing in bitcoin although as long term profitable target but left 20% of my fiat hold to buy back when bitcoin price drop drastically.
Its not matter with close halving or not because the best time for investing in bitcoin depend on price of bitcoin not close halving or not.
I think if some one have planning with bitcoin halving to invest in bitcoin they will not interested yet keep accumulate bitcoin investment after halving time and afraid with bitcoin get potential have lower price.

You do the right thing by leaving 20% of the Fiat capital you used as a reserve when the market suddenly crashes.
You will buy cheaper and get more assets.
That's a strategy that I also apply to get a chance to buy again.

Whenever investing is good, as long as you start coming in and setting your main target, it will be a portfolio that will grow.
But don't be too tempted by FOMO and buy it right away, make sure the purchase is made at the right time.

I think that person you've quoted is most likely not going to get affected by FOMO as he does look like someone who has been stacking bitcoins very strategically similar to DCA, if not he's been DCAing. He did also mention that investing in bitcoin did not matter whether or not we're close to the next halving, so that's another indicator for someone who doesn't get easily affected by FOMO.

Actually in my opinion it is always best time for buying bitcoin for the long term holder. But the scenario will be kind of different for the short term trader and also who are currently investing by focusing on the next bull run . Then yes they have to take all dips for investing on bitcoin . And not only just the first quarter of 2024 I think there will be also many dips after the April so I think then also they will have the time. Investing with large amount at once wasn't good idea for me .

The current low price of Bitcoin is an opportunity for investors as they can invest in Bitcoin at this low price. Of course, going into 2025, they will be able to sell bitcoins at the highest price and their profits will be huge if they sell bitcoins.  All these rules you can definitely solve yourself if you are looking at bitcoin halving 2020. This is currently the last chance to invest in Bitcoin, as the price of Bitcoin is definitely lower before the halving. So everyone should use this opportunity to invest in Bitcoin quickly. As you all know for sure, the price of Bitcoin is on the upswing.

This time can be considered suitable for those who want to invest for long term but those who have short term investment plan should wait for the market to go for a little correction. However, this may be the best time before the Bitcoin halving and there may not be a better time to invest in Bitcoin after the halving. Back in April I decided to pick this time and I decided to buy some bitcoins and hold them until after the halving.

Well yes I do think that is some good advice to buy more Bitcoin before the halving. The next Bitcoin halving is 72 days away so still time to stack some before we become 'bullish'.

MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor did say that he thinks price of Bitcoin in 2024 is going to be $350,000. I do not know if we will see that much of a price but when he is 'bullish' then it is a good thing. 

There are differences for those who plan long-term investments or short-term investments.
If you want to invest for the long term, maybe now is the right time because after the halving, Bitcoin prices are likely to increase (as happened in the past) and price corrections will definitely still happen, but we don't know for sure whether it will happen deeper than now or not.
And for short-term investing, there are quite a lot of aspects that must be taken into account so that they can really make a profit in a short time, with Bitcoin price movements which are quite volatile allowing anything to happen.

If investing for the long term, I think there is no harm in investing large amounts, from what happened in the past there should be no doubt.

Although I cannot foretell that it will reach $350,000 this year, it is wise to buy Bitcoin before the halving. Maybe it will reach that amount and make us happier but every crypto investor believes that Bitcoin is bullish.

If have additional savings, I will continue to invest in Bitcoin even next year when peak prices are expected. I believe that there will be some dips this year. Therefore, there are still numerous opportunities for late investors to enter. I want to sell a portion of my investment when Bitcoin is at $100,000, so taking into account the present value, it is as yet cheap.

for how long that halving had been in the  system and what had brings this to the market It is always dumping before the day comes and also at least how many months after that before the growing happens that means we have enough time to listen and trust the market .
there are so much things that coming in the community some may say this and that but the  essence of trust in bitcoin will always there to save our money and our position.

350k is too optimistic a forecast. If you look at trading over the last 2-3 months, there are enough fluctuations, which means that investors are still in doubt, although most are inclined not to pay attention to it. In order for the price to become 100k or so, the market needs to attract there is still a lot of money or to shake investors out of altcoins and convince them to invest in bitcoin, then this scenario will become possible, plus the halving effect which will definitely give an impetus to the price increase.

in normal circumstances bitcoin investment is something that I know quite well that so much have a difference of timers based on what you have in mind for your investment but I know quite well but no time you invest in Bitcoin is a wasted time for bitcoin investment it depends what you have in mind to invest in Bitcoin because sometimes when you purchase bitcoin when the price is high you might be lucky that the price will continue to accelerate and sometimes to when you purchase a bitcoin when the price is high the price can equally depreciate in value at any given point in time so the two things that is involved in Bitcoin investment is advantages and the disadvantages and you should do target the advantages when you are investing in Bitcoin so that you make a profit, the advantages come in a way that you will investigate and know when the price of Bitcoin is low targeting to hold on to the price get increased so that you make there reasonable profit during the time of holding Bitcoin for long period depending the time you purchase bitcoin.

before or after the halving is the perfect timing because we never see the price increase before and after the halving instead this takes time to recover and it keeps dumping on those times.

wow now 2024 is the time? 350k ? that is huge mate but do we really need to believe that?

That is sort of what I do as well, I do not really look at the daily prices, and even if I do, I do not loo kat it for any other purpose than just being there and being active on it, not for trading purposes at all. I think it's quite clear that not many people would be able to do that. Long term holders do make good income if they can actually achieve to hold for long and keep on accumulating, I know plenty of people who did nothing but just keep holding their coins and in return they made some great income, from multiple different coins and tokens.

However, trading doesn't mean it's bad, or worse, you could make a lot more money that way as well, it all just depends on how good you are as a trader and that's it, if you are decent, you can make money there too.

With proven statistics on the halving in Bitcoin.i feel it’s a good period to also do your check on what’s the cause of it increases during this period and know when to engage it buying and selling when it’s high.but to be realistic not all history repeats itself.so I encourage research before even buying the halving period now.

Halving is a moment that usually causes prices to rise, but of course it doesn't have to be repeated every period. However, as far as we can see and observe, this halving will most likely make the market very bullish. You may need to be aware that this year the SEC has approved a bitcoin ETF, that could be one of the factors that will influence the price in the long term.

Something realistic certainly needs to be thought about, but if you are asking about when is the best time to invest, then now is the time. You can buy whenever you have the budget and you don't have to worry about the price if it is your long-term investment. In the long term, Bitcoin's potential is still very good and you should start today and maximize your opportunities.

I like to thank all the comments in this thread as it influenced me to buy Bitcoin at $40k in January.  :)
Anytime is the best time to invest in Bitcoin. When governments keep printing paper money causing inflation this increases the value of the finite supply of Bitcoin.

cryptocurrency investor does not have a best time to purchase a Bitcoin but here you must make sure that you have make a proper research to know when you really purchase a Bitcoin and it will become profitable for you and also know when you purchase a bitcoin it will not be profitable for you depending they kind of investment you want to have with your bitcoin I want to purchase so this things are the thing that we have to consider for any cryptocurrency investment before we invest on it there is more a specific time that is best for someone to invest in Bitcoin for my own understanding except when the price is low and there when you purchase you hold until the price

Now is the time to invest according to Bitcoin price, if one wants to invest in Bitcoin with accumulated money then he can do it because the bull market is going to happen next. The bull market is very likely to start in the next few months after the halving, 2025. The highest Bitcoin price increase in 2018 is likely. That is why it would be best to hold Bitcoins now following the DCA method.
