The most important part of investing in bitcoin is timing.

[Lucius]

cocoadreamboy, you reply to most of post - but for some reason you did not reply on my post, cat got your tongue?

First you need to learn how to use forum (read rules), for start use multi-quoting and stop promote your site in almost every post. Only thing you will get from such behavior will be ban from mods.

I've always been curious myself: what makes people think others would want to pay them money for snake oil that repeatedly proves itself to be poison, and even more curious, what actually makes people pay for it?!

People think that there are experts who can say when to buy / sell, they do not really want to think with their head. The OP is trying to present itself as some kind of expert, and until a few months he did not know the basics of trading with cryptocurrency. There are many naive people who believe in everything, but they should know that there is much better ways to spend money, then throw it on such services.

Timing is the most important thing about investing in bitcoin or altcoin, without have good timing maybe will be lost much money by investing in bitcoin and altcoin investment, always take good timing before investing your money.

That is true but..

Bitcoin is a volatile cryptocurrency. In investing, it is true that you need those timings that could really give you profit but the thing here is that there are a lot of times that Bitcoin goes up and goes down and it is not the same as other investments that is why you need to track the price chart at all times since, with the fast-changing tide, you might miss the right time to ride it.

I have the timing these recent dumps, but it is not the best for as I don't the money, no one wants to lend me to buy BTC when I had the chance. I sold my accessories just to buy Bitcoin when it was only 4K USD, and now I am still holding. IF only I had the money back then I could have rested from this depressing and yet exciting trend. you must have the money and timing that is what I am saying.

It seems to me that you did nothing in vain when you sold your property only to buy Bitcoin.  Moreover, do not take any credit, because you regret it.  Who wants to ask you why you decided to buy Bitcoin when its price was $ 4,000, and not when it went down to $ 2,500?

Indeed, I also believe in consistency, being inactive on the platform might result in a loss of profit, coins changed its value from time to time so we should catch up to the opportunities or chances to earn more.

again with the creation cost! when will you start seeing that cost of mining changes with the price not the other way around.
price goes up > mining becomes more profitable > more miners join > hashrate rises > difficulty rises > cost of mining increases
price drops > mining becomes less profitable > some miners leave > hashrate drops > difficulty readjusts (decreases) > cost of mining decreases


additionally you are not talking about "investing" you are talking about day trading here. an investor shouldn't care about these short term fluctuations. you invest long term and timing in that case is not as important specially since "investors" invest their idle money that is not in anything.

It is truth, it's pretty interesting that investing is normally seen as both when in reality it isn't because being a trader and an investor is not the same thing at all.

As the hashing rate adjusts then it will be really easy to predict the outcome of Bitcoin in the future in any given time, then you can take accurate decisions based on it, especially when we hit the cap. Right now, it isn't relevant at all.

With trading of course, there's always a luck factor involved, that factor decides the outcome of any money input you put in, it then will decide if you ultimately get profit or not, it is definitely not set in stone, that's why i don't like it. No matter how good you get it, there will be always some luck factor involved.

Life is easier, people just makes it complicated.

Thanks so much everyone for your opinions and views!

I am setting up a complete redesign of the site, and I will be back in around a week with all new research and probing bitcoin questions.

The site will be down while I make all the upgrades and rebalance the scales.

Bitcointalk is one of the few places where you can go to meet crypto people. I am honored to speak and share my data and views with you all!

Love and hard work,

Aaron

I think that many who invested in cryptocurrency at the peak of growth in 2017 have already understood how important time and the ability to adequately assess the situation. If you have invested in Bitcoin now, then you need to understand that it can take a very long time before you can earn on your investments. But this expectation will be justified.

[xSkylarx]

Timing is really essential when investing into bitcoin. Bitcoin's value is very volatile so if you got the wrong timing your investment amount could decrease in fiat value in just few hours. If you'll invest in bitcoin, you must do some reseach first or read some recent news to find out if it's a good time to buy.

[raidarksword]

No need to be a rocket scientist to understand bitcoin investing because everything comes in good timing and patience as well in order to make profit in this volatile market we are having. Just a simple hold will do then sell if time is right and buy again for put back and hold again, just like that and we are all winners in the end.

[fiulpro]

Timing is more or so a luck thing .
I think the most important thing about investing in Bitcoins is actually *Patience*

There is a famous quote in the trade market
  *The market takes money from the people who are quick to sell and give it to the patient one's *

I think this actually accounts for Bitcoins as well .
You can use your trading charts and at the same time you can , use websites to predict the prices but at the same time you should remember that it is Bitcoins ..

You cannot predict anything.

[DebitMe]

I would say the most important part of investing in bitcoin is just doing it. We are going to see some massive gains in the next 2 to 3 years and anyone who buys in now will make money in the long run. Timing is irrelevant when taking a long term approach.

[finaleshot2016]

Yes, we should always wait for the right time because all of the things will go well.

Bad timing will have bad for your lucky with bitcoin and altcoin investment, always check when is correct and good timing for investing your money in bitcoin or altcoin if want to earn profit.

I have everything easier. I decided to invest every month in cryptocurrency and will do it for 2-3 years. Any situation in the market suits me.

Good for you, long term investment is good and pure profit than having a short term investment which is very risky.

[Mpamaegbu]

Thanks OP. My take away from your initial post is "TIMING" It's very essential knowing when to always get out in everything we do in life. It's called, "Bowing out when the ovation is loudest." A lot of us got carried away in 2017 when Bitcoin had a great run and refused to sell off before the ultimate crash began in January 2018. It's pure greed that makes people want more, even when it's obvious there's nothing more to squeeze out. However, on the cost calculation stuff you mentioned there, I think it's really not necessary knowing all that before one can take one's profit or exit a trade. Just know your risk appetite. That's all.

More profitability for long term investment when you invest on coin that in market for a long run and has high potential of growing. You have to create your own luck on timing you set you for it. Always check the market then decide to invest or wait more time.

[Kiefner]

In my understanding, the fact that investing in bitcoin takes time means that bitcoin can bring real profit only after a certain time. Because it shows itself well in the long term.

It needs timing of course but not as much needed compared to trading.

When you are investing and you still see the potential of bitcoin to grow, you would not hesitate because investing in bitcoin in order to gain good profits, you need to consider it a long term investment. Bitcoin is in the early stage, the market is not yet fully regulated and we will be going to that situation in the long run so bitcoin is still volatile and cheap now. All we have to think is its adoption, it will increase but the total coins in circulation will not increase.

[joromz1226]

When you say the word of " Most important " it means this is the top priority that we must do as a traders.
For me, in my own point of view Patience is much more ahead of it. Sometimes, there lot of players in trading doesn't know
if it is the right time to sell or buy, so for them not to loss their holdings to make them safe and lessen their risk level
they need to apply patience, because what if their timing was wrong?

[Coyster]

Yes, we should always wait for the right time because all of the things will go well.

In an unpredictable market, it's highly improbable to guess the right time to invest in bitcoin, it's Infact almost impossible to accurately forsee that the price would be at X price at a particular period of time, even satoshi wouldn't be able to accurately predict that. You can speculate and be lucky though, but depending on luck is a risky venture.

The most important part should be investing with a minimum(little)amount and patiently wait to accrue profit.

********************NEWEST UPDATE*********************
Ok bitcointalk! I have been hard at work over this last week. I have just put the finishing touches on my site!

I will be posting a new topic soon about how to identify pricing bottoms by utilizing the creation cost. It needs a couple more revisions, but it will be ready today or tomorrow.

Here is the link to my site again:

https://www.amsinger.org

As always I love your opinions and criticism. You need friction to make fire

Aaron

P.S. The next client research will be covering the price volatility increases when bitcoin is high above the creation cost.
