That sounds like a reasonable goal.
And what did you do prior to 2025? I see you registered on the forum in August 2023.
So were you able to stack any corn between August 2023 and December 2024?
Yeah, but not in 2023... I wasn’t really concerned about getting Bitcoin back then until 2024, when I started to get curious and wanted to learn more about it. I had some altcoins before joining the forum so I actually started with those. I’m not sure of the exact month, but it was probably around early March, I think.
It would have had been good if you had established such a goal of stacking as many cornz as possible starting around the time of your forum registration, yet I understand that sometimes it takes a bit of time before some of our forum members might come to determine that focusing on and stacking bitcoin as a good idea to prioritize and to put into practice.
Actually, I never had the plan of holding any Bitcoin until I joined the thread “Buy the Dip and Hodl”.. It might sound funny, but that thread actually gave me the first step to holding Bitcoin.
I am not sure of the price when I joined the forum, but I still met it around $50k~$70k. It went down to $48k once, then from $70k. But then I made some irrational decisions..
I was trying to take advantage of demand and supply because it went on for a while from $50k~$71k before the major breakout that took us to $100k+ in November 2024. I sold around 60k after a previous attempt that was successful, but then I was holding it from the last 55k buy, hoping it would reach 69~70k before selling. But it reversed around 66k. It didn’t hit my sell limit before declining. For a moment, I thought I could buy back around 52~53k again so I sold around $60k (as I’ve mentioned earlier) but then it started pumping slowly immediately after I sold at 60k.. I thought I was just going to hold it until it came back once again, but then I placed a buy around 75k because I was afraid it might fake out and then bounce back again. The 75k was just for FOMO in case it never declined. All this was around early October, It never got back to $53k..the lowest I got was $59k, and then it dragged up until the bull run started.
That was when I completely just DCA and bought extra dips. I did that all through the November (2024)~ 2025.. before then it was still DCA btw.
None of that sounds like DCAing, even though guys could DCA in order to establish a bitcoin position and then later on sell that position, yet DCA usually applies better to investing rather than to trading because with DCA there is a bit of a blindness to the BTC price since there is both an assumption that in the longer term (such as the period of the investment), the BTC price would generally trend up so that the holdings would ultimately end up in profits, so then by the time selling might later be triggered, the concern might not be so much regarding the extent of the profits, but instead how much BTC had been accumulated that would then give more financial options.
What you are describing sounds like trading rather than investing, and not really focusing on accumulating bitcoin. It seems disturbing to hear some of the back and forth of what you seemed to have been trying to do and potentially ONLY eeking out small profits, even if you might not get caught on the wrong side of some trade attempts. It also seems challenging to try to figure out how you could have had done better by buying and selling bitcoin rather than just staying focused on buying only.
Perhaps you are saying that at some point (perhaps starting in early 2025 - for your 2025 New Year's resolution?), you transitioned into a buying ONLY approach - where you were no longer trying to trade dee cornz?
You likely know my own philosophy and views that I try to repeatedly emphasize a suggestion that guys who are in their whole first cycle of being involved in bitcoin should be focusing on buying only.. and even my suggestion that selling BTC does not really come into play until guys reach overaccumulation status, since selling bitcoin does not seem like a good strategy for guys who are intending to accumulate bitcoin or who calculate that they do not have enough bitcoin. ..
So, I personally have a hard time figuring out how guys who want to accumulate bitcoin could make progress in their bitcoin accumulation (or their stack size) if they are mixing both buying and selling rather than staying focused on buying only practices.
Surely there could be some guys who are able to outperform buy only techniques in the short-to-medium term, yet if we are looking 6-8 or more years in the future, I doubt that there are any replicable trading strategies that would end up beating strategies that stay focused on ongoing buying and holding.
Maybe, at best, you ONLY have 1 year of accumulating bitcoin? and so the beginning of 2025 would not have had been as good of a time to get started investing in bitcoin and buying only, as compared to starting earlier.. yet still guys end up having to start their investment (to the extent that they do it) at some point.. yet if they had ended up starting at or towards a top, then it could take longer before the holdings get clearly into profits.. which is also part of the rationale to continue to stay focused on buying only for 4 years or longer, even though there could have had been some high price times within the 4-years that might make it harder for the BTC holdings to be in profits.

it's New Year, I don't eat Wagyu daily! Eggs on the other hand, well, I think they are power food, especially raw. So I eat a lot of them. But I avoid mass farmed eggs.
I just learned that there is water in the egg white that you should get rid of before eating the white raw.
I agree with eating the yolks, but I thought it would probably be better to eat the whole egg rather than just part of it, whether cooked or not.
Fair enough. I won't further pursue the adoption topic.
