Buy the DIP, and HODL!

[Muba20]

Bitcoin investment is about the long term game since long term holders have been rewarded. So the goal isn’t quick money, it’s about accumulating bitcoin and holding for long term. Bitcoin investment builds generational wealth with less stress and  with DCA, no need to predict or keep timing the market

Expecting to get money quickly from Bitcoin investments can actually lead to losses. Those who try to accumulate Bitcoin by implementing a long-term Bitcoin accumulation by DCA strategy will benefit the most. The amount of DCA, Dips, and lump sums can vary depending on each investor’s financial situation, cash flow, and risk tolerance. The important thing is that when we use these strategies differently in our own Bitcoin accumulation journey, we can gain a better understanding and confidence in our investments. No single strategy is right. Rather, a combination of strategies and their proper application to individual circumstances helps ensure long-term Bitcoin accumulation success. Any short-term plan will not be effective when investing in Bitcoin.

Like, why will someone even stress himself with trading, when you can just avoid those dramas ans traumas that comes with it..  And the inconsistency is so annoying, something that anybody should not be getting into soon..
The goal should be focused on long term investment in Bitcoin and not quick momey from trading..
It’s obvious and has been proving its self that investment is way far better that trading..

The truth is just that there are many people out there who are after short term profits and they don't even care whether they lost or gain, maybe they also see trading as a fun activity to them even though they are trading to make profits. Trading is too risky but yet many people are still adamant about trading. Investment is better than trading for sure but just that there are people who can't withstand fluctuations and market volatility in the long term which makes them to suddenly sell their asset and take profits.

Some of this people that are trading bitcoin for quick profit are doing it as a result of fear but they fail to understand that holding bitcoin for a long term isn't as risky as trading itself.Traders try as much as they can to see if they can actually outsmart the market but no one can do this. Traders see bitcoin as a get rich quick scheme like gambling that is why they chose to gamble with bitcoin instead of investing in it.

Traders don't trade because they are afraid of some kind things they trade because of greed and also they want to make quick gain or profit thinking that short term in bitcoin is were they can make more money, but they forgot to know that the little gain they may get in trading BTC can never be match with when they actually keep buying BTC and hodl for a longer period of time, the risk in trading is much higher I don't know of traders knows this.

Actually trading is inherently more uncertain than expected, and in the case of Bitcoin, it can be very unrealistic to succeed through such activities, not unrealistic, but in 90% of cases, those who think like this face losses. So in this case, if we think about being successful in the short term in Bitcoin, the results will be the opposite. Here Bitcoin can put us in more losses, maybe we think it is possible, but when we actually go to Bitcoin for short-term purposes to succeed, then we will understand the main point. So here we have to maintain risk management, the decision has to be within our capabilities and the ability to take risks, we can expect that those who make such decisions will never get anything good, because after all, Bitcoin is a long-term asset.

The reason traders trade is not really because of greed rather the reason they trade is because of impatient and they are eager to make money don't get it twisted because someone can decide to trade not necessary because of greed but because he lacks the ability to wait for a long period of time and sometimes it is not because they are ignorant of the fact that what they are doing is risky or the fact that long term is the goal but they don't regard all these things because of quick profit ( impatient) Wich is not even sure.

It’s certain that those set of person that decide to trade lacks patience to wait for the result of a long term goal, out of lack of patience as you’ve said and desperation they decide to trade, what you should understand is that, emotion and greed are factors that will make you take irrational decisions while trading, once you’ve done your analysis and the market goes against your prediction, emotion kicks in, you’ll want to recover that which you’ve lost and then greed as well plays it part by making you trade beyond your reserve fund just to get back your lose. But while investing, you don’t put your self in such unnecessary pressure by monitoring the market volatility, as long as you’ve got your goals set out and your discretionary funds available, you’re set with less worries.

I think you are romancing the reasons why people trade but however it’s clear that quick profit is the anchor of most traders having lost the patience to wait for bitcoin, knowing full well that bitcoin is going to grow but years has to go bye so they turn to seeking the financial freedom with gambling hoping that with a lot of attempt and strategy they will probably be rich, but in reality it takes some a decade or more to be profitable while someone with less stress holding bitcoin and accumulating within that period would be doubling that profit in such long term.

Trading is another way of making profit in bitcoin and their is nothing wrong with it, whoever sees it interesting to do it is the person choice. It is just a way of making some small bulks but some people miss understand because of lack of knowledge. Trading and investing are two different thing. Investment is a long-term journey and that comes with good profit. It is better to choose trading if you want quick profit but some people thinks bitcoin investment is one that yields quick profit.

This is the opportunity whereby any bitcoin investor can invest in Bitcoin right now as bitcoin price is depreciating day by day, I think about anyone who wants to accumulate it Bitcoin have a better chance to accumulate bitcoin right now, not like those times that will be making a reference and also been emphasizing of Bitcoin especially buying of Bitcoin when it is not a due time to buy Bitcoin and I always make my point to be known to the people that we don't have a specific time to buy Bitcoin anyone that want to accumulate a Bitcoin should accumulate and the person should not be waiting for a dip time for him to invest in Bitcoin...

Most of them are short term in the market and that's why they're taking advantage of trading it. While there are also long term holders that are trading but, they'll choose to stop trading when the markets are not good to trade. I wouldn't say that traders are greedy, it's a skill and an opportunity when they do that. But it's possible that some of them don't have the patience like us, who are holding for so long and waiting for the time that we shall enjoy the fruits of holding. In fact, more traders are losing than holders.

If it's not true that you're entirely condemning trading, what's really that right time that's perfect for them to sell?
I believe every traders do have a volume targets of when to sell and when to buy while all goals are centered within the short term of which you can't tell if the time they sold was out of impatient or not.
Hence there're traders who truly make be profitable, we can't entirely say they're all impatient rather and you don't expect them to hold patiently like the investors who're strategies is to hold for the long term.
Maybe we can b just say those traders are at the utmost risks because must of them sells at lost over panic of the immediate market circumstances.

Rightly impatient are them who sold and later regrets their actions which of course is a situation to be overcome when acted patiently like one holding in the long term.

Those are very wrong approach to Bitcoin investment, there's no shortcut in it and it's either an investor buy or buy consistently and hold for long-term or nothing, if Bitcoin is said to be a long-term investment i don't see why people should nake short-term gains their priority if not for quest for quick money.
 Investing in Bitcoin and getting better profit is strictly for those who can be very patient, although those who chose to use traders strategy to invest in it might make profits but they'll still be disappointed at their actions with time.

You yourself are saying that now is the right time to buy because the price of Bitcoin is falling. On the other hand, you are saying that don't wait for the dip. Your words are presented in a contradictory way. But you have not mentioned the real logical and most important thing about investment management. Bitcoin accumulation should be based on an investor's financial situation, cash flow and discretionary income. It is never right to invest depending on the price of Bitcoin.

In our personal opinion whether or not buying Bitcoin is appropriate is a matter of personal choice. The first point regarding appropriateness lies solely in having the ability to do so. Although the current market price is trending downward if we, as people who frequently invest in Bitcoin but don't have sufficient disposable income or no savings at all it will be difficult for those of us without these resources to do so regardless of the price. Because we lack discretionary income it is certainly not feasible to buy Bitcoin.

I think that what Oyeeze is trying to say is that now that bitcoin is dropping in price should be a more opportunity to buy more bitcoin and not to panic that the dip is actually a good buying time and also he went further to condemn waiting for the price of BTC to dip before one can start buying bitcoin that such strategy is a wrong. Bitcoin should be bought when we have our discretionary income available the price of bitcoin shouldn't make is to invest when we don't have a discretionary income as this could be seen as gambling though i understand your last sentence Saltysugar99.

Any investors that buys bitcoin for the long term and sells within 0-4 years is a trader. If an investor buy bitcoin and sells once the price starts moving higher iare not investors but short term traders. Long term investors are not driven by short term profits or quick profits but by a long term substantial profits. There are no fastest lanes to make money substantial profits fromm bitcoin the only way is to investing consistently and hold for the long-term.

The reason for investing in the long term is not basically for substantial profits as you said but mainly to be able to own a huge portfolio. It is wrong to invest with the idea of making substantial profits in the future, what if it doesn't go as you expected, will you be discouraged? before you can also talk of making a big profit in the long term, have you also checked the size of your holding because you cannot accumulate very little and expect a huge amount of profits in the long term. Just invest with the idea that you want to increase your holdings, if you are able to realize a substantial profit from your investment then it is an added advantage otherwise keeping your money in a safe and valuable asset like bitcoin should be thoughtful.

Everyone's goals are different cause our finance or income can never be same, so the substantial profits each individual would get from investing in Bitcoin would differ too but so far each investor meet their goals then it's no big deal, infact what's the reason for investing in Bitcoin if not to get better profits in future? Although reward is not guaranteed cause nobody knows what the future holds but have you seen or heard anyone that embarked on a long-term investment option like Bitcoin and complained of not getting a reward? It's such believe that there would likely be a reward in future that gives investors hope. Investing in Bitcoin can yield substantial profits in future but Investing consistently would increase the size of your portfolio.

In my opinion, holding it for 4 years doesn't qualify as trading because 4 years isn't a short time. However, I think someone who invests for around 4 years can be considered an investor, but not a long-term investor. Trading doesn't require 4 years, but if it's just a day, a week, or a month, it can be considered trading. However, this is my opinion, as I don't know much about trading and investing.
However, the best option is to hold BTC for more than 10 years because the potential profits are much greater compared to investing for just 4 years, or one cycle. However, in reality, many people are tempted when BTC hits a new ATH and end up selling it immediately. However, if you can hold it for the long term, more than 10 years, you are a great investor.

You are not wrong in your own view of what you look out for when investing in bitcoin and of course every long-term investor aims for a substantial profit but do not take because those who invested in bitcoin earlier made huge profits and think that big profits are assured in the long term. Most people who invested in bitcoin and made substantial profits today were basically those who invested very little when the price was worth nothing but since the price skyrocketed immensely over the years, they were able to make huge amount of profits but just consider someone who started investing now, did you know what the price will be before it will turn your investment into x10? that is why i said that expecting a substantial profit will also be determined by how much bitcoins you have been able to accumulate in the long term. You can't invest very little and expect a huge ROI in the long term.

There is nothing wrong if they are short term. You're right that there's no shortcut in it but if that's their approach and strategy to stick to trading and they're just short term, they know what they're doing. We can't force them to start holding for long term if that's what they like to be involved with. While we know that long term is the best, but there are these investors that they think they know what's better for themselves. Soon, they will have to come up with a better strategy and that's what we've been doing now, and that's to hold.

[Nightwatchmare]

I think the point is to hold Bitcoin for the long term, not just to buy and sell once you make a profit, and I think that's correct. Although it still requires learning, the main thing is that we need to have a plan to hold Bitcoin for the long term, regardless of whatever strategy we use. I believe it will be very profitable in the future.

Yes, long-term holding is a good idea because investing isn't trading. Therefore, holding btc long-term certainly has the potential for higher profits, and the advantage is that we don't have to monitor the market. I also often hear people regret not holding BTC long-term because they always sell their btC when they see a profit, even if it's small. The person who regrets this is the one who bought btC in 2015.

However, everyone has different opinions on this matter, and for those who enjoy trading, I think there's nothing wrong with consistently making a profit. However, it's clear that long-term BTC investors consistently achieve substantial returns

Since Bitcoin is not a quick to get rich soon, for investors to be in good profits they need to hold their Bitcoin investments for at least one circle because that is the ideal way good profits in Bitcoin investment is very much achievable, and there is no short cut to making good profits in Bitcoin investment than holding your Bitcoin for a very long time. Bitcoin is an asset that grows in price in the long run, so if anyone sells his/her Bitcoin because of little profit, the person will surely regret his actions in the future when the price of Bitcoin gets to the point where the person would have become a millionaire. That is why we were advised never to sell our Bitcoin investments for small profits so that we will not leave in regret.

The reason traders trade is not really because of greed rather the reason they trade is because of impatient and they are eager to make money don't get it twisted because someone can decide to trade not necessary because of greed but because he lacks the ability to wait for a long period of time and sometimes it is not because they are ignorant of the fact that what they are doing is risky or the fact that long term is the goal but they don't regard all these things because of quick profit ( impatient) Wich is not even sure.

It’s certain that those set of person that decide to trade lacks patience to wait for the result of a long term goal, out of lack of patience as you’ve said and desperation they decide to trade, what you should understand is that, emotion and greed are factors that will make you take irrational decisions while trading, once you’ve done your analysis and the market goes against your prediction, emotion kicks in, you’ll want to recover that which you’ve lost and then greed as well plays it part by making you trade beyond your reserve fund just to get back your lose.

Well everything too also  comes down to our  self control. Yes trading is very risky and traders who don't have good trading physcology are ones who lose the most especially when they are doing revenge trading. Even investors told also fall short especially those who don't have self control often lose focus along the way where they see small gain or panicking due to price dips or buy aggressively due to fear of missing out. Whereby they use up their entire savings on Bitcoin not remembering they still have other expenses to sort out. Without good discipline,  both trader and investors can make wrong decisions. The market usually test our patients and emotions, so it is those who have clear plan and stick to it that survives being at lose.

Bruh, I go can’t even relate to your message clearly, are you trying to defend some reason over another why people decide to trade ?? Because it seems like it is what you’re doing man.

Btw you should know that regardless of what is making anybody trade rather that making responsible investment decide is just a result of a very very poor mindset, if they have got the right mindset about Bitcoin, and why people has chosen to accumulate rather than just gambling with it, then they would not be stuck with that impatience thing.
So let’s not make it be about defending reasons, it should be about fixing the mindset behind those action.
