JJG’s Outline of Bitcoin Investment Ideas

[Creeper0]

Being aggressive in the market depends on how comfortable you feel about the market, it does not have to be only when the market is going down. As long as you have more money in hand to be aggressive in the market you are free.

You are right, there is no specific time to be aggressive, but it can be wise to be aggressive only when you have the ability. If you are associated with DCA, we will not need to wait for the dip, because DCA automatically gives you the opportunity to buy in the market of the dip. If the ability to be aggressive in investing is created at that time, then you can feel free to be aggressive in investing. If the ability to be aggressive in the bull market is created, there is no need to wait for the decline, you can still be aggressive in investing. However, we must pay special attention to our ability during aggressive buying, do not put too much pressure on yourself if necessary.

However, we must pay special attention to our ability during aggressive buying, do not put too much pressure on yourself if necessary.

The ability should be what will determine what you will be able to invest because in a normal day that is how it is suppose to be because when it comes to investing you can not do more than your self so it will be better for anyone to invest what they can afford,  for a start you can start with a small amount and then when you understand it you will you can now increase the amount you are investing through the DCA because that is one the most suitable way for biginners and also does that have already invested before so it is something that have to be taking seriously.

And once the DCA is properly understood then you can also consider the dip but since the dip does not happen always just use the DCA since it does not really determine the market conditions then it will be better for you to just stick to DCA so that no matter what you will be able to invest and your portfolio keeps growing that is the most important thing you don't need to even worry your self about waiting for the dip again.

[Furious 7]

You are right, aggressive buying is just like an act or the action someone especially an investor put towards the market to ascertain or take advantage over the market condition in a given period of time, because it is not all the time an investor can be aggressive, they are only aggressive when the market present a good opportunity for them and note, an investor will or should only be aggressive if they have kept funds to use in other words, it means if they have save money from the discretionary for that kind of opportunity.

Aggressiveness is determined from our attitude not based on price because I feel that although generally some investors will take aggressive actions when the market is bearish but it does not rule out that they will also do the same when the market is bullish so by looking at some of these possibilities I feel that aggressiveness is determined from our attitude not based on the market.

The problem is sometimes some of us are sometimes not aware of the ability and only make aggressiveness as a form to gain an advantage quickly but do not realize that these actions can not be their responsibility.

Not a few of us are trying to be aggressive when the market is bearish but their focus is just glued to the decline in prices but do not think about the funds they have to spend which sometimes aggressiveness is always a problem because we are too forced to buy but can not afford to cover because it does not prepare well for that action.

[Bigjoe33]

Of course, an investor can buy aggressively consistently for two years or more it all depends on his financial situation at that time and also having a good back up funds on ground because it's not advisable to buy aggressively when you're still building your backup funds.You should know that buying aggressively using giving higher amount from your discretionary income to buy bitcoin.

I think it can still work and is very much applicable. It all depends on your level of aggressiveness or what you define as aggressiveness. I feel an investor can get on a moderate level of aggressiveness while still building his back up funds simultaneously without putting his investment at risk.

Take for instance, a new investor who allocates $100 to his investment and maybe $50 to his back up funds weekly, and then, maybe he gets some extra income or a bonus pay or wins a jackpot or sometimes that gave him extra cash, he can decide to buy more BTC in coming weeks maybe by increasing his accumulation amount from $100 to $150-200, while also slightly increasing the back up funds allocation maybe from $50 to $60-70 or thereabout. In some other weeks, he can decide to increase the back up funds allocation slightly higher while maintaining the already effected change of the accumulation amount and vise versa.

I believe an investor can still be slightly aggressive with buying Bitcoin while still trying to completely build a strong back up funds alongside. What really matters is your structure of aggressiveness. If you ever do it and totally ignoring the back up funds, then your investment will be put to a great risk, but if everything is well arranged, then, there could be some level of controlled aggressiveness while also building your back up funds.

One of the most effective ways to avoid emotional stress in Bitcoin investing is to only invest what you can afford, or discretionary income. But I do believe that people should not say that holding long-term will lead to profit - as nobody can be certain about the future. History has proven that those who managed to stick with the investment and not panic sell had better results than those who wanted a quick get rich scheme. It's a sensible strategy to start a small DCA scheme and keep educating yourself about Bitcoin. The focus should be on good risk management. Realistic expectations and consistency rather than attempting to anticipate where the price will be years later.

Bitcoin is a volatile asset that no one can predict it future price. We can only speculate based on trends and it can be near accurate or totally wrong some time. Assuring guarantee profit for holding long term is indirectly setting newbies for disappointment in case things go opposite direction. Historically, bitcoin usually reward those who hold through multiple cycles but it comes with sacrifice and patience. Yet, they refuse to sell out of fear and that's how "invest what you can afford to lose" comes in. You won't be able to hold during brutal drawdowns if you invest with money you can not afford to lose, you'll obviously panic and sell at loss.

Likely many of us invest into bitcoin based on beliefs that it is likely that we will be better off 4-10 years or longer for having had invested into bitcoin, as compared with if we had not.

Of course, there are no guarantees about bitcoin's price direction, and some times even within the path of investing into bitcoin, there could be situations in which the circumstances change and the ways of investing might need to change or even that the investment into bitcoin might need to be abandoned based on changes in personal financial and/or psychological circumstances, including even age and/or health reasons.

It seems that if younger folks are coming into bitcoin, then if they are actually considering bitcoin as an investment rather than a trade, then they would likely have a timeline that is 10 years or more, yet we know that some folks are not able to commit for 10 years or more, maybe based on age and/or health reasons or even based on lack of conviction that they may or may not be able to resolve, even with further study and investigation into bitcoin and attempting to solidify their cashflow management systems/practices.

Usually many invest on Bitcoin, because we believe that this coin have good future especially if we deal it for long term. But also you are correct, we cannot assure to have guarantee since even if we say Bitcoin is good there are situations that need to look at like people don't have same timelines and everything will depends on real life circumstances.

Young people will be capable to invest for a decade or more because they have lots of time and provably could find good source of income to sustain their planned investment. While the other people like those old people have limited timeline that's why it change their conviction to, but approach maybe not change and it depends on the strategy and also disciplined done. What's important to look forward is on how people invest which fit on their current situation. Bitcoin really works to take for long term, also there's data's will backed it up if people want to do a research about this.

I believe the only thing someone can truly control is how I invest, not what the market will do tomorrow. That is why I stick to DCA and the use of  discretionary income because It keeps me consistent and takes away the pressure from price fluctuation.

I see it like someone building a house. He doesn't expect to finish it in one day, but by laying one block at a time, the house eventually stands. That's how I look at Bitcoin. Every small buy adds to my future. I don't know exactly where the price will be years from now, but I know that good money management, patience, and steady accumulation give me a much better chance than chasing quick profits.

A lot of folks invest in bitcoin today because there believe is that bitcoin will improve their financial future over a long time, yes, but that belief should be supported by good financial planning, because bitcoin has a long term potential but there is not 100% guarantees, and as a you investor you should add it to your plan that life circumstances can change at any time,  unexpected expenses may raise up which may force someone to even stop the investing for a while, that is why is very necessary to only have your discretionary income invested and also have emergency fund aside before committed to long term plan. Because a long term investment works more when it match your financial situation that allows you stay consistent without putting unnecessary pressure on yourself.

Because a long term investment works more when it match your financial situation that allows you stay consistent without putting unnecessary pressure on yourself.

You don't need to first have your emergency funds aside before you can decide to be committed to long term investment. In the beginning of you bitcoin investment is when you should have the long term investment mindset so that, it can allow you slowly accumulate bitcoin with part of your discretionary income using DCA and figure out your cash inflow as you learn along side and at the same time build your emergency funds.

When you have a long term investment mindset, it will allow you to have plans of staying in the accumulation game for long and you will focus on building your emergency funds and other backup funds simultaneously with your bitcoin investment without rushing as you invest comfortably.

If you want to wait till you build your emergency funds before you will be committed to long term investment, it might make you focus more on building your emergency funds first instead of building it simultaneously, with your bitcoin investment and that will waste a lot of time for you will limit the quantity of bitcoin you should have bought earlier as you started your bitcoin investment.

Nobody should never invest in Bitcoin with money outside of discretionary income. For those who are initially afraid to invest in Bitcoin despite having a high amount of discretionary income or want to take Bitcoin for experiment purpose due to lack of knowledge, then investing in Bitcoin with a low amount may be a good way. In this case, he will not feel much pressure during the investment. Moreover, as he gains knowledge, his confidence in Bitcoin will increase. With confidence, he will be able to increase the DCA amount according to his discretionary income.

And if he invests in Bitcoin and holds it for a long time, the chances of success increase. Trading Bitcoin in the short term is as uncertain as gambling. So if you are thinking of making a profit from Bitcoin, then you must have a mindset of holding it for the long term and plan accordingly. If you want to get rich overnight, the losses will be greater than the gains.

For the 100th time, profit isn't guaranteed even when folks hold for longer time durations. Though holding Bitcoin for long term durations tends to place guys in much more better positions... But then again,  Bitcoin is highly volatile..Surely we seem to have seen periods whereby Bitcoin appreciated and yielded Folks with good returns in the past... But then again you aren't a seer who knows what will become of the price of Bitcoin in years to come... And that's the more reason why it is best that folks invest using only the money that they know for sure that they can afford to lose..

I partially agree with this particular statement of yours, I know Bitcoin is volatile in nature, which means that the price can fluctuate at any time it like, so even with the certainty of price, it's better to encourage us the newbies to develop trust and confidence towards bitcoin investment. Okay, so those that have been investing for long-term, like 5 to 10 would not have any profits at the end? I may understand you differently but this particular statement may seems harsh Dude.

Historically, bitcoin has shown us how valuable it is, buying bitcoin and holding it for long-term growths actually gives investors a better odds than investing for short-term profit.

You are actually wrong, not making a profit does not mean that no one will make a profit in the long run. Rather, it is often a warning for new investors. Because in the long run, Bitcoin can be a strong asset, but you can never guarantee the future value of Bitcoin. That is why new investors are told to invest from within their financial position. If someone thinks that Bitcoin can make a profit very quickly, they may invest money that falls into their food, rent, or necessary expenses. And when someone invests from their necessary expenses, it will weaken their financial position. It may be a mistake for investors to assume that just because it has shown good results in the past, it will also give good results in the future. While in the savings stage, you should create your own position without focusing too much on profits.

Bitcoin investment is highly volatile and thus risky, and profits are not guaranteed at any level during your investment period, but however, from history, gives certain hopes for rewards to real investors who HODL for longer periods(4-10years or above). So,  You guys are almost saying the same thing and there is no need for the debate here.

Joeboy, you sounded so discouraging and making investing in Bitcoin looked so meaningless, worthless and/or valueless, and that's somehow too bad and a bit misleading. So, if we can't even make some gains if we invest in a long run, why then are we investing? We know there is no level of certainty of profit at any level, but the hopes of making some gains are still very possible if we can HODL for long because of that same volatile nature, because as it has the possibility of falling, it also has the possible of risky too at any time, just as we are experiencing now. Some days ago, we saw the price at $59., and now, it is at $63., and few hours ago, always moving. So, there is still a chance of making profit from a long time investment plan especially when it hits it's All Time High market price.

However, the issue of the riskiness or Bitcoin investment is to keep your mindset prepared that we can't control the price movement, and at such, we must only invest from our discretionary income, at settling yourself and basic needs. The main idea is to take our minds off from making or taking any profit from our investments or even expecting any profit but rather keep your mindset to a long term investment plan, while targeting your investment plan/target/over-accumulation stage. This helps you to focus on building your portfolio effeciently and consistently without thinking of profit, and eventually, at the long run, you could smile at the end of the day.

Profits shouldn’t be what we prioritize in bitcoin investment because that clearly shows traders mindset and not investors. And when we have the traders mindset then we pursued short term goals and as soon as we take our profits our investment ends and we don’t encourage that at all here in this thread.

The mindset should be set for a long term goals and the short term goals shouldn’t be seen as a thing at all instead we focus on building our portfolio with our discretionary income and DCA strategy and keep the long term mindset intact. The future is what we are setting up a foundation for since right now so short term profits isn’t a big deal at all, and the suitable funds for investing is the discretionary income not any other funds.

Aggressive buying is not an investment method. For example, aggressive investing is done when a person thinks that the market price is very low now or is currently much lower than it was at other times, so we do not consider it as an investment method. However, usually aggressive buying is done along with other buying methods, such as during the DCA method, when there is a big decline in the market, everyone buys aggressively because at that time when the investor buys more, he will be able to profit much more later.

Your explanation is mixing different things and it can confuse new investors. Long term plan should not depend thinking you know when the market is cheap or when bigger profit is coming. Also, buying more is a personal choice… it’s not something every investor does. Nobody can predict correctly what the price will do next, so why the unnecessary headache ? Instead of troubling yourself trying to predict something you can’t control, just tell them to stay consistent with their investment plan, manage their money very well and avoid making any decision that is based on assumptions about future price or profit, simple!

You are right, some people are more concerned on how to make quick profits as fast as possible which is not as easy as they always think. Long term investment plan is the real deal, it's literally all about securing a better future overtime. However, their are some new folks that are just starting up their Bitcoin journey perhaps looking up to the older folks in the house for more knowledge, as it will be misleading to the newbies seeing post that will be glorifying trading on a constant routine. Let's the conversation be more focused on long term investment plan since that is the main purpose of the thread so that newbies will be more likely or more conversant with it and know is the best path to go.

Buying aggressively makes sense and it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't exceed our financial capacity, especially if we previously had savings or reserve funds from the discretionary fund allowance.

And this does not only happen when the price decreases so whenever it can be done, for example with someone who one day earns more so that the discretionary funds he gets are larger than usual and it is accumulated on bitcoin completely or indeed buys as usual. So when an investor has more money then a purchase can be made.

[The Founding Titan]

If s person decides not to invest with their discretionary income, using the DCA won't do them any good, the first thing about bitcoin investment is that it should be done with our discretionary income, the strategy comes after that, once thst first rule isn't obeyed then pushing forward with claiming that the DCA will work is wrong, if an investor isn't investing with their discretionary income then whatever strategy they are using no longer matters, it will crumble.

Every investor should understand that their Investments are made with discretionary income, meaning the money is not their living expenses, Or what we know as cold money. This is important to note because Investing in Bitcoin is a long term investment, So regular weekly bitcoin purchases are made with discretionary Income.

With discretionary income, We can purchase Bitcoin using various Strategies that are convenient for us, such as dca, Lump sum, or aggressive Buying. Therefore, Investors must know how much funds to allocate to buying Bitcoin, Whether it's 5% or 10%, as long as it doesn't interfere with their daily living expenses.

Aggressive buying isn't a bitcoin investment strategy on its own, you can be using any of the actual investment strategies which includes DCAing, buying the DIP and lump summing and then decide to be aggressive with them.
And even when using the DCA you don't have to stick to buying weekly if your discretionary income can handle it, it's very important to buy bitcoin with only what you can tolerate, if a fixed weekly purchase won't work for you then do what will work, the investment is long term, there is no need to rush yourself too much.

You are right, aggressive buying is just like an act or the action someone especially an investor put towards the market to ascertain or take advantage over the market condition in a given period of time, because it is not all the time an investor can be aggressive, they are only aggressive when the market present a good opportunity for them and note, an investor will or should only be aggressive if they have kept funds to use in other words, it means if they have save money from the discretionary for that kind of opportunity.

An investor can be aggressive whenever they want provided that they have the discretionary income to buy with and they don't need to keep funds aside for buying aggressively, that's not how buying aggressively works, it simply means that you are buying with a higher percentage than you would normally buy with, say someone who on average would be with 30% of their discretionary income starting to buy with 60% has gotten more aggressive, it's not about them having more discretionary income but them using more of their discretionary income.

Predicting Bitcoin that is so volatile at this stage is somehow to the hear because the Bitcoin movement is what we can not actually tell or predict for certain where it will be heading in the next seconds or minute. However, the only best and advisable way is to figure out a discrestionary income ( money we can afford to lose which is also known as leftovers) and use the DCA method faithfully or regularly with the long term mindset.

Of course, an investor can buy aggressively consistently for two years or more it all depends on his financial situation at that time and also having a good back up funds on ground because it's not advisable to buy aggressively when you're still building your backup funds.You should know that buying aggressively using giving higher amount from your discretionary income to buy bitcoin.

I think it can still work and is very much applicable. It all depends on your level of aggressiveness or what you define as aggressiveness. I feel an investor can get on a moderate level of aggressiveness while still building his back up funds simultaneously without putting his investment at risk.

Take for instance, a new investor who allocates $100 to his investment and maybe $50 to his back up funds weekly, and then, maybe he gets some extra income or a bonus pay or wins a jackpot or sometimes that gave him extra cash, he can decide to buy more BTC in coming weeks maybe by increasing his accumulation amount from $100 to $150-200, while also slightly increasing the back up funds allocation maybe from $50 to $60-70 or thereabout. In some other weeks, he can decide to increase the back up funds allocation slightly higher while maintaining the already effected change of the accumulation amount and vise versa.

I believe an investor can still be slightly aggressive with buying Bitcoin while still trying to completely build a strong back up funds alongside. What really matters is your structure of aggressiveness. If you ever do it and totally ignoring the back up funds, then your investment will be put to a great risk, but if everything is well arranged, then, there could be some level of controlled aggressiveness while also building your back up funds.

I also think that control their aggressiveness will come once they have a good structure that make their back up funds and accumulation moves forward together. As long the investor didn't ignore the risk then always pays attention with their safety, they can moderately increase their accumulation even during  a week when they have extra funds to spend.

They could succeed being aggressive if their back up funds support it and everything is well planned to make everything sustainable. With this they will not provably get overexposed or regret their decision why they push to do aggressive accumulation.

This helps you to focus on building your portfolio effeciently and consistently without thinking of profit, and eventually, at the long run, you could smile at the end of the day.

Even though profit isn't guarantee, bitcoin is still new and only very small percentage of the world population has bitcoin which means that bitcoin is still in her early stage and more people will continue to adopt bitcoin overtime and that will also trigger the increase in price of bitcoin.

Past records have shown that the price of bitcoin increases over time and I believe that the odd of bitcoin price moving uptrend is higher than downtrend which makes bitcoin the best asset of our time to throw some value into to preserve your wealth in future. Profit is an additional benefits which is why you don't need to put profit in mind so that, you don't get carried away with little price fluctuation but focus on building your bitcoin stash overtime.

Another reason why you are being told that profit isn't guaranteed is so that, you don't use all your life savings to invest in Bitcoin but also set up other business that will be your primary means of survival in the future and not for you to depend solely on your bitcoin stash as the only option for survival in the future. The future is filled with uncertainties.

Of course bitcoin is volatile which is the reason why you're to invest and grow your bitcoin portfolio for long term to limit the risk of her volatility because the price increases overtime.

Your explanation is mixing different things and it can confuse new investors. Long term plan should not depend thinking you know when the market is cheap or when bigger profit is coming. Also, buying more is a personal choice… it’s not something every investor does. Nobody can predict correctly what the price will do next, so why the unnecessary headache ? Instead of troubling yourself trying to predict something you can’t control, just tell them to stay consistent with their investment plan, manage their money very well and avoid making any decision that is based on assumptions about future price or profit, simple!

Predicting Bitcoin that is so volatile at this stage is somehow to the hear because the Bitcoin movement is what we can not actually tell or predict for certain where it will be heading in the next seconds or minute. However, the only best and advisable way is to figure out a discrestionary income ( money we can afford to lose which is also known as leftovers) and use the DCA method faithfully or regularly with the long term mindset.

I think that currently the market movement is in the ups and downs regarding market prices so that with the occurrence of market movements like that, we have to admit that we cannot predict the prices that will occur for some time in the future so that what you said is true that currently our task is only to make purchases if we have the discretionary income that we have and this aims to not think too much about market movements that sometimes occur in decline so after understanding what you said, it makes us personally for the future only better to focus on purchases by following the DCA pattern which is the main strategy for all parties who invest in Bitcoin which is of course very regular.

No one can predict the Bitcoin Price in the next 3 or 5 minutes, despite their status as a very experienced trader, AI or the creator of Bitcoin himself. They all mean nothing when faced with volatility. The 1-minute chart is filled with noise. If anyone says "Bitcoin price will definitely increase tomorrow," they are either lying or selling a course.
Because Bitcoin volatility is so high, the best strategy is to discipline yourself by regularly using a DCA strategy with your remaining funds or discretionary income, and adopting a long-term investment mindset. This method can minimize the risk of daily volatility by smoothing out the average purchase price. Investors who implement the DCA strategy using cold money have the potential to achieve long-term goals because their mindset of "how to still have Bitcoin in 2035", while, is very different from traders who only pursue short-term profits.
