For those who think that they caught the moment when it's late to buy

[shield132]

Yeah, this thread is for these kind of people. If it's too late to buy, then why don't you never think about opening a short position on futures trading? I really just don't get it.
Imagine, if you open short position on futures trading right now, it means that you can get 50% profit it price falls on 30K USD and in this case, the money that puts you into risk of liquidation is 120 000 USD, i.e. if bitcoin reachs 120K, you'll get liquidated but if you think that bitcoin won't go further and it's late to buy, then you can get decent profit on your capital.
The reason why I opened thread about this is that people often think that they can only buy something and don't realize that they can do borrow sell too and get profit even when price falls.

for them to be able to borrow for futures trading they will have to own some first which means they first have to buy. 😀 

the reason why they think its too late to buy is because of the price of BTC. 63k for 1BTC is really heavy for someone.  they have not learned about BTC while its cheap or they were confused because they thought BTC was scam since the media made it appear as scam.

There are windows of opportunities in Cryptocurrency trading.  You as profitable as what you know and what you do.  Future and leveraging is another reason why you should trade bitcoin even more as you will profit from it either way.  I think traders who trade spot only should familiarize themselves with future and see what they can achieve with it!

I am one of those people who think they're late.

And I don't know anything about future trading or how to go about doing it.

So, I am doing what I can for now.

That is buying a portion of it whenever I can afford to and hoping it reaches 10x at least at some point in future if not 100x.

Absolutely no idea what you mean by borrow sell.

Guess what? People always think they're late when in bull markets. And guess what? A few years from now you're going to once gain think that you're late.

I wouldn't follow OP's recommendation though, unless you want to lose money.

[Ararbermas]

Actually even not future trading you can do shorting as well when you see it that you're late to buy, I mean using those small time frame in trading view there's always a chance for late comer, wherein it's up to us if we really interested to gain quick profits.. But yes i understand your point @op because there are really some people that who dont want such kind of way and what they want is the time where they can get a massive profits like literally,.   well it's their choice and maybe they don't have enough time for it..

Futures trading isn't for everyone. Unless one is an experienced trader, it's better not to go into Futures trading. It can easily wreck one unlike spot trading. Again, it's very risky opening a short position on Bitcoin at this time as one can easily get burnt because Bitcoin is on a bull rally ATM.

The reason why I opened thread about this is that people often think that they can only buy something and don't realize that they can do borrow sell too and get profit even when price falls.

Trading isn't an easy thing. Except one has the set skills for it, it can easily mess up one's finances. I know of a few traders who like to play it easy by "staking" and farming too. I guess you unintentionally missed those two out too.

On the issue of people thinking they're late to the party, I have this to say (a saying from my locality) – "When a man wakes from sleep is his dawn." Understandably therefore, no time is too late in the real sense of it. Just find your entry, that's all. Bitcoin is in a bull rally and will expectedly be till November.

Op, one cannot start trading futures without buying at the current market price for it is impossible for you to trade with leverage without initial capital. Remember that you really need to be a good trader before you think of trading with future as risk of losing all your trading capital.

Futures/Leverage which you do make this as a solution or last resort then you are just simply doing suicide and its true that this is pure high risk rather than on other methods.

Common behavior of a human being is on thinking about being late or they do missed the train whenever they do see increasing market price.They would had presumed that

if they would buy then price might go down.Honestly, if they had just consider out on buying on the time where the price is on its dip or correction then
they wont really be having that kind of problem in mind.

Because there are people who will always be afraid to put investment at high risk, let them be and we can't blame them if they are afraid to invest in a high-risk investment.  It might they don't know how crypto will work and they are afraid to put investment.  But for sure they will do put money as an investment if they will understand very well because most of these people think profit in a short period of time and most likely do a panic selling when seeing the market is down.

It's hard to convince people and even me, I won't do that.  Then one day they will realize that there's no late investing in crypto especially in Bitcoin most you've heard is that regrets when they neglect the opportunity.

It's hard to convince if these people don't have money to invest. The timing is not very good because of the crisis but they were also busy partying when the pandemic wasn't yet here.

But it is somewhat like a fud when they say it's too late to buy BTC. The difference is to the kind of person who says it's too late. If he said it's late because he knows the price had gone up that he figured it has to go down before he will buy.

Emotion is how emotion works especially for those people who can't control them. There are always second thoughts for them and I don't blame them, it's normal for me since I can experience it too.
In trading, it's like, it doesn't mean you close your long position, it is not guaranteed it will go down that you can guarantee a short position or vice versa.

That's why trading is difficult and there is stop loss that can always save us for our trades.

[Wexnident]

Isn't futures something that most people recommend for experienced traders to use? I'd reckon those who actually regret buying late are experienced traders since most of them would have actually realized early on that Bitcoin was entering a bull run. Those that missed out are either newbie traders or people who actually fully believed that Bitcoin would not be entering a bull run.

Plus, I hardly think people who lost the right time to enter an investment would go into futures, they could've honestly gone in even before BTC went into a run but they didn't, I suppose that speaks in of itself already. Timing is everything in trading after all.

It is applicable for experienced people but it is risky for newbies. The question "is it too late to buy" is a newbie question so if they are newbies, they should not open short position. Because after open a position, they will ask, is it good enough to close my position. With future trading, if they don't know when to close it, their position will turn from profitable to loss.

If it is too late to buy, you can find chances in other coins. Too late to buy means a coin rises too much so it is risky to enter. If you chase the market, you will take that high risk and in return high odds to lose in your position.

Find other coins with good entries and you can join them earlier in their parties.

All of us does able to experience too specially when we are still noob or newbie into this market on which you cant really able to resist on being impulsive because we do still lack knowledge and experience then it just normal that mistakes like these are very common for someone to experience.On the time that we do able to get sufficient knowledge and experience then this is where story becomes different.We are just humans ad we do really able to make ourselves better and improved.

Futures trading is amazing instrument however its the most risky type of trading. Yes it can give you enormous amount of cashback but it can take all of it once the timelines has passed and your prediction turns out to be wrong. Most of the times its the second one because futures in crypto market is almost next to unpredictable With the amount of volatility and liquidation it has, you are literally giving away your money to the profit earner in that window. Dont push yourself towards the greed if you did not buy in time. Moreover, its never late in the crypto, as you can see from the decades of data. BTC is rising ever since. So no need to be on FOMO train.

When I hear people complaining about being too late to buy most of the time what I interpret about what they are saying is that it is too late to buy and hold, now this is not true either as anyone buying now and being willing to hold for the next decade will obtain huge profits as well.

Basically when I hear people complaining about this I see people that just wanted easy profits without any risk being taken by them, something that is not possible as those that invested when bitcoin was cheaper were taking an enormous risk and they had to endure huge crashes along the way as well, so if were you I will not bother with them because it is obvious they are not looking for solutions they just want to complain about the fact they did not got rich with bitcoin.

Futures trading is riskier than spot trading as you don't own the coin you are betting on. So I won't advise a noon to venture into that without having adequate knowledge of it.

And for those who think that they are late, they aren't. There would be multiple bull runs in the future so anyone into crypto right now is an early bird. What they need is patience and buying some good coins such as blockchain coins, DeFi tokens and NFTverse.

It is not too late to buy, now is a perfect time to buy. Since today the market is in a big correction, there are many coins having very cheap prices. Considering we probably have an altcoins season in the next few weeks, better to decide to buy this time. I am sure the market correction won't last a very long time. In my opinion, the next jump must happen before the end of this year.

There is no early or late time to buy in crypto. As long as you know when to sell (which of course, should be higher than your buying price), then it is all good. Usually, people have high expectations with their profits, the reason why many people are waiting long time before they sell. But the common case is that the coin they are waiting to increase its price, is continuously going down. Only few coins can rise after the dump. So if you are a beginner, in my opinion, better keep your portfolio in the top and established markets.
