JJG’s Outline of Bitcoin Investment Ideas

[Emjay24]

...

You don't need to think about short term when investing into bitcoin because bitcoin is volatile in nature and can put you into losses due to short-term price fluctuations. This is why you need to have a long-term mindset and focus on building your bitcoin stash overtime with your regular DCA weekly purchases from your discretionary income till you reach your bitcoin target..

You don't need any knowledge to invest in bitcoin apart from your discretionary income and learn whatever topic you need to know as you have started your bitcoin investment. The most important thing is for you to figure out if you have discretionary income or not to get started. Bitcoin investment is different from our traditional investment that you need a proper knowledge to get started.

If we have a stable income I think it's better to invest long-term. This means we always have an income without any delays whether weekly or monthly. However, once we have an income we still need to meet our needs. After meeting our needs I think there must be discretionary funds. With these funds I think it's better to consider long-term investments. Since we have an income it's natural for us to invest long-term. A stable income allows us to regularly accumulate funds for long-term investments.

Having a fixed income can probably give us some advantages. But a fixed income is not a mandatory condition to start investing in Bitcoin. Again, it is not that only those who have a fixed income plan long-term investment. Rather, everyone should focus on long-term investment. Even if a small business owner or an independent worker's income is not the same every month, if he can really set aside discretionary income after meeting his essential expenses, then why can't he start?

Again, in many cases, it is seen that someone may have a fixed salary every month, but if their rent, food, loans and family responsibilities are so high that all the money ends there, then just because he has a fixed income, discretionary income does not create it. Therefore, whether the income is permanent or not is more important than whether the income is permanent or not.

Discretionary income is the most important factor to kick off investment journey and to remain consistent in it. Having a fixed salary or regular income isn't the benchmark, people that have variable income can still invest and hold as long as they can identify to having cold cash after sorting their expenses when their income arrives, they can choose to lump sum with the discretionary income or spread it across a longer timeframe.

Again the DCA period must not be fixed, consistency can still mean investing whenever discretionary income is available and not missing out on it. There can be some cases when income is present, even from the fixed salary, but there's no discretionary income because of higher expenses, then the investor has to wait until discretionary income is available for them to continue with their investment.

Hello mates, this thread is sort of a new one to me,I mean I am welcomed and could get a summary of what we have been and previously discussed

Okay at your service.
1. Accumulate bitcoin and hold for a very long period of time let say 5 to 10 years and above.
2. Use only your discretionary income to accumulate bitcoin.
3. You need to have backup funds such as emergency, reserve and float funds, having this funds will help you prevent dipping hands into your bitcoin when emergency comes up, backup funds is your safe net.
4. Don’t wait to have all the knowledge about bitcoin before investing, just have the basic knowledge and then start.
5. Don’t trade bitcoin because it’s very risky.
6. We don’t discuss alt coins here it is all about bitcoin.

This and many more are all what we are discussing here, do well to do some reading too.

Thanks for the summary of the core things discussed in this thread. One point I would emphasize is that all stated above are interconnected. Using discretionary income becomes much easier when you have an emergency fund, and having both makes it easier to stick with a long-term holding strategy without being forced to sell during emergencies and difficult periods.

You are right, when someone have a discrestionary income and an emergency funds it will always help and make them be at a great advantage of not selling their portfolio when there is challenge or obstacle yet it doesn't mean someone with these discretionary income and emergency funds can not still sell their portfolio,  off cause they can but that is a thing of personal decision, choice, mindset and the reason they are accumulating Bitcoin because sometimes some folks are so limited with information and understanding.

You are right, having a fixed salary or regular income is not a benchmark, it's just that when we already have a salary it should be easier for us to make investments, and with those who do not have a salary can make investments because I think it is also impossible if someone does not have money continuously so someone who already intends to invest will definitely have a way out to do what he wants, especially this goal is for their own good in the future. With a record that he can manage his finances well, investments can be made even if he does not have a salary.

There should be no standard for discretionary income. If you have a decent source of income but you are not accumulation Bitcoin then you are independent about investment. But if you are accumulating Bitcoin regularly and can sustain one cycle initially, there should be no problem for you to become a regular investor and run two more cycles.

Is there any financial arrangement through which an investor can accumulate Bitcoin regularly without a regular source of income? I think such an arrangement may not work properly. Those who do not receive a regular salary will naturally not be able to sustain Bitcoin accumulation and you should have at least a small amount of discretionary funds.

Even with discretionary income and back up funds that doesn’t really mean some holders can’t sell their holdings but that not what we encourage here nor advise holders to do at all.
Investing in bitcoin should always be a long term decision and not short term profits at all. When we start having the feelings of selling our holdings then our mindset is switching from an investors we call ourselves to traders mindset and that not a good approach.
We should have future plans with our bitcoin holdings and focus more on the future with our bitcoin holdings that why the availability of discretionary income is important and also the back up funds also to lay the foundation of our future and structure our journey.

Those who do not receive a regular salary will naturally not be able to sustain Bitcoin accumulation and you should have at least a small amount of discretionary funds.

the most important condition for a successful DCA strategy in the long term is to have a surplus or extra income. This money does not have to be a huge amount but it should be money that will not affect your daily living expenses even if it goes away.
However i think that this extra income or DCA does not require a specific fixed job or salary. Nowadays many people are freelancing running small businesses or self-employed where the income figure at the end of the month is not always the same. They may not get paid on a specific date every month. But whenever they get money they can invest a certain percentage of that income in Bitcoin. At the end of the day the main thing is to maintain the continuity of the investment whether the source of income is fixed or variable.
 In my opinion irregular income sources are not a fault. The biggest mistake is to be greedy and buy extra Bitcoin without considering your pocket capacity or cash flow. An ideal DCA plan should always be in line with a person's own financial reality. For example If your income temporarily decreases in a month there is no point in stubbornly investing by borrowing or closing the plan altogether. Rather, it is much wiser to reduce the investment amount for that month. Because a slow and sustainable strategy will always give better results in the long run than that aggressive strategy.

Those who do not receive a regular salary will naturally not be able to sustain Bitcoin accumulation and you should have at least a small amount of discretionary funds.

 I want you to understand that having a regular income is very important if you want to buy and accumulate Bitcoin consistently, but it's not a yardstick used to invest in Bitcoin because discretionary income is what is needed to invest in Bitcoin consistently. Their are contractors or some workers that doesn't have a regular income weekly or monthly but they can still invest from their discretionary income once they hit a contract or spare cash enters their hands. So what am trying to say is that having a regular income is very good, but it should not be used as a yardstick before investing in Bitcoin.

I disagree with you on that, folks only need discretionary income to invest and not a decent a source of income. Folks don't need a  regular source of income to invest in bitcoin rather what they need to get started is when they are able figure out discretionary income,.once they have their discretionary income available they can invest in bitcoin.
However there are measures that must be put in place so that folks won't sell or tamper with their Bitcoin investment before reaching their target. Folks need to setup their emergency and reserve funds this is important because it would help them to deal with any unforeseen circumstances that might arise in the future. If folks don't setup their emergency and reserve fund their bitcoin investment wouldn't be safe and they might tamper with it when face with  real life emergency situation.

[Primark]

Thanks for the summary of the core things discussed in this thread. One point I would emphasize is that all stated above are interconnected. Using discretionary income becomes much easier when you have an emergency fund, and having both makes it easier to stick with a long-term holding strategy without being forced to sell during emergencies and difficult periods.

You are not getting the point here, are you?
Because it seems like you think without having an emergency funds in place, you cannot buy and accumulate from your discretionary income. I want you to know that discretionary income is what is used to buy and accumulate Bitcoin weekly or monthly, and it's through that your discretionary income you make provisions for emergency and reserve funds to safeguard your Bitcoin investment against any unforseen emergencies that may have warranted you to sell prematurely, so try to understand that it's through discretionary income you invest and also put down emergency funds in place, and without figuring it out before investing is more of gambling than investment.

He may have confused the matter, since he is still a beginner, so it is normal. He still needs a lot of practice.

My advice to him would be, to start investing, what is discretionary money? And how and where can discretionary money be used? It is necessary to have a basic understanding of that. This is part of the basic knowledge of investing, although acquiring this knowledge before the first purchase is not mandatory, but it would be wise to acquire the basic knowledge as soon as possible after the first purchase and before the second purchase. It is very important to be aware of your ability in investing and to acquire the knowledge of keeping discretionary money. I would even suggest researching the investment strategy "DCA"

Making a vague list of basic knowledge is an excuse that delays beginners from starting. I am not telling you that learning is not important, but rather I am saying that there is no need to make a specific mandatory list that one must learn basic knowledge before investing again after the first investment. If someone has a little discretionary income after meeting all his necessary expenses, he can start buying Bitcoin with a very small amount. Therefore, making a mandatory list that he must learn before investing again is pointless. Because after starting investing, he will be able to make his own decisions. After starting, he will have enough time to learn, then he can continue learning gradually at his own pace. But when we advise him to learn basic knowledge as soon as possible before investing again, he may postpone his savings just to learn basic knowledge, even though he has enough capacity for the second investment. Which can slow down his savings.

Yes, there are contractors who get jobs on an irregular pattern but make enough money to carter for their expenses as well as have good quantity of discretionary income left, they can spread their buying amount accross a specific period of time to use DCA or even choose to lump sum with it. You might even be surprised that some people who get income on an irregular pattern may have bigger discretionary income and a corresponding larger bitcoin stash than those who have regular income but smaller discretionary income.

It is not about the pattern at which your income comes, it is the availability of discretionary income after attending to your regular expenses and your commitment and dedication to enlarging your portfolio consistently whenever discretionary income becomes available that matters.

[adultcrypto]

Investing in Bitcoin is very important and more important than that is an emergency fund, because the emergency fund is the protection of your Bitcoin investment. However, this emergency fund is not very important. Those who give more importance to Bitcoin investment may forget about the importance of the wallet. Everything is more important, but among them, collecting the keys to the wallet is the most important because your future depends on your roof.

I disagree with you on the part of the statement I made bold, such statement is misleading even though I understand that you are comparing it to the bitcoin investment itself. We know that the first step is to start the investment before you considering setting up emergency fund to protect the investment. The emergency fund is very important for long term investment for without it, the investment will be exposed to risk of being touched when issues of urgent concerns, that were not planned for, arises. You will not be  happy selling your bitcoin to settle urgent matters that the emergency funds would have taken care of, therefore it is a wise thing to plan for emergencies and not take the risk of putting your investment on the line.

Someone who somehow is unable to generate discretionary income anymore will be able to keep themselves from selling their bitcoin as long as they have their emergency fund and the rest of their backup funds in place, of course this will only last for a limited period of time and that's why people are advised to keep around 3 months worth of their expenses as emergency fund, this way even if you are not able to earn within that time your bitcoin investment will still be safe and before the end of those months you might have already sort yourself out and will already be generating discretionary again.

We know the financial situation of an investor is very important, but however that isn’t a guarantee to get started with investment in bitcoin, you’re not investing in bitcoin with a regular source of income, instead you should be laying emphasis on discretionary income, that would enable you to be investing in Bitcoin, there are individuals who are investing in bitcoin but doesn’t have a steady or regular source of income like you have mentioned, but still they’re buying and investing in bitcoin, to be very honest with you, you need more of a discretionary income to get started with investing in bitcoin, I have previously meet someone who buys bitcoin, but he doesn’t have a regular source of income, but he still accumulate bitcoins when he has a discretionary income, it might not be weekly but monthly is also quite okay.

There are still people who have a regular incomes but aren’t able to buy bitcoin, because they don’t have a discretionary income, probably because there expenses takes aways all their income, personally I would be more concerned on having a discretionary income.

Someone who somehow is unable to generate discretionary income anymore will be able to keep themselves from selling their bitcoin as long as they have their emergency fund and the rest of their backup funds in place, of course this will only last for a limited period of time and that's why people are advised to keep around 3 months worth of their expenses as emergency fund, this way even if you are not able to earn within that time your bitcoin investment will still be safe and before the end of those months you might have already sort yourself out and will already be generating discretionary again.

Being unable to generate discretionary income along the line doesn't warrant an investor to sell when the goal is not meet, that's not an excuse cause not being able to generate discretionary income at some point doesn't mean the person would never do that again, expect the person becomes handicapped along the line.
 However some handicapped people still manage to get funds and can generate discretionary funds, so what's the excuse of someone that physically and mentally complete? Anyone that into an investment without having an emergency funds is putting themselves at risk financially.

Discretionary income is only what we need to invest with and take care of our discretionary consumption. Therefore, if any investor doesn't have a discretionary income, he's not expected to invest but hodli his bitcoin investment till he has gotten discretionary income to continue with his DCA.

Your income is what you use to take care of your daily needs and monthly expenses therefore, if you don't have discretionary income doesn't mean that you cannot meet up with taking care of your basic needs.

 It's only if you lost your job or your stream of income stops, that's when you can start tapping from your reserve funds first before your emergency funds but if your job is still there but do to some unexpected responsibility that ate up your discretionary income, you should just hodli your bitcoin and look for other means to increase your income so that, you can have discretionary income to start investing again.

You’re saying surplus income is the most important condition for a successful DCA. Based on what? People succeed with DCA because the stay consistent over time, manage their finances well and avoid emotional decisions.There is no single factor is the most important

“Slow and sustainable strategy will ALWAYS give better results than aggressive one”. Better in what aspect? Sustainble strategy is easier to maintain, but it does not automatically give bigger returns more than someone who invests aggressively with money they can afford to lose. You should be careful with absolute statement like "most important" and "always” when giving financial advice. What works for one person might not work for the another person

There should be no standard for discretionary income. If you have a decent source of income but you are not accumulation Bitcoin then you are independent about investment.

Those who do not receive a regular salary will naturally not be able to sustain Bitcoin accumulation and you should have at least a small amount of discretionary funds.

I don't think it is right that Bitcoin accumulation is not possible or cannot be held for a long time without regular income. To accumulate Bitcoin without regular income, more planning, cashflow management and control over one's own expenses are needed. It is true that a salary earner may get a fixed income every week or every month, so it is relatively easy for him to set up a weekly or monthly DCA. So does that mean that a contract worker, freelancer or a person working on a project based job cannot invest in Bitcoin . Of course he can, but proper planning is required. If he creates a discretionary fund, then that person with irregular income can also do a DCA in Bitcoin.

Let's say a contract worker gets paid every 3 months. Now he gets $1,800 after finishing the work. Now, it would not be right to buy Bitcoin with an estimated amount from this money. He will have to do proper fund management. In this case, he will have to pay bills, food, rent, transport and other basic expenses until the next income comes. Now let's do a calculation. If his monthly basic expenses are $450, then his required expenses for 3 months will be $450×3 = $1,350. Now, if he $1,800 from $1,350, he will have $450 as a discretionary fund. Now, it is not right to use the entire $450 for Bitcoin investment in the beginning. Because if he does not have a backup fund, he will also have to focus on building it and will also have to spend it on buying Bitcoin. So, let's say he keeps $150 as a backup fund. Then his discretionary fund for buying Bitcoin is $300. Now, if he wants, he can buy Bitcoin with this $300 at once, but for a person with irregular income, it is often better to divide $300 and DCA it until the next income comes. There are about 12 weeks in 3 months, so $300/12 = $25 per week.

Again, suppose this same person gets income after 4 months and gets $2,400 from a project. If his monthly expense suddenly increases, then the basic expense required for 4 months is $500x4 = $2,000. Now, if he $2,000 from $2,400, he has $400. If he keeps $200 of this as an emergency or reserve fund, then he has $200 for Bitcoin investment. There are about 16 weeks in 4 months, so $200 / 16 = $12+ per week. This may seem like a very small amount, but the main thing here is not whether the amount is big or small. The main thing is that he is not buying Bitcoin with his own necessary expenses or emergency money.

So it is possible to accumulate Bitcoin even if he does not have a regular income. The main thing here is whether he is creating a discretionary fund or not. If there is a discretionary fund, then investing in Bitcoin is possible from any type of income.

[abaeze]

There should be no standard for discretionary income. If you have a decent source of income but you are not accumulation Bitcoin then you are independent about investment. But if you are accumulating Bitcoin regularly and can sustain one cycle initially, there should be no problem for you to become a regular investor and run two more cycles.

Is there any financial arrangement through which an investor can accumulate Bitcoin regularly without a regular source of income? I think such an arrangement may not work properly. Those who do not receive a regular salary will naturally not be able to sustain Bitcoin accumulation and you should have at least a small amount of discretionary funds.

Folks don't need a  regular source of income to invest in bitcoin rather what they need to get started is when they are able figure out discretionary income,.once they have their discretionary income available they can invest in bitcoin.

If folks don't setup their emergency and reserve fund their bitcoin investment wouldn't be safe and they might tamper with it when face with  real life emergency situation.

It is easy to maintain a regular DCA for a long time for someone who has a regular income, but regular income is not essential for investing in Bitcoin because the main condition for investing is to have extra money to cover expenses, not a regular salary but discretionary income. There are many people who do not have a regular income such as freelancers, seasonal traders or commission-based workers, yet they can invest in Bitcoin whenever they get extra money. Another important thing is that in addition to starting to invest, you should also emphasize on building an emergency fund and savings so that you are not forced to sell it before the investment is successful as planned. Otherwise, time, money, effort will all be wasted.

Discretionary income is the most important factor to kick off investment journey and to remain consistent in it. Having a fixed salary or regular income isn't the benchmark, people that have variable income can still invest and hold as long as they can identify to having cold cash after sorting their expenses when their income arrives, they can choose to lump sum with the discretionary income or spread it across a longer timeframe.

Again the DCA period must not be fixed, consistency can still mean investing whenever discretionary income is available and not missing out on it. There can be some cases when income is present, even from the fixed salary, but there's no discretionary income because of higher expenses, then the investor has to wait until discretionary income is available for them to continue with their investment.

You are right, having a fixed salary or regular income is not a benchmark, it's just that when we already have a salary it should be easier for us to make investments, and with those who do not have a salary can make investments because I think it is also impossible if someone does not have money continuously so someone who already intends to invest will definitely have a way out to do what he wants, especially this goal is for their own good in the future. With a record that he can manage his finances well, investments can be made even if he does not have a salary.

There should be no standard for discretionary income. If you have a decent source of income but you are not accumulation Bitcoin then you are independent about investment.

This is where some people get it wrong. Consistency does not mean that you have to buy the exact same amount every week. Rather, consistency means that you have to survive in the long-term savings process within your own financial situation. You should not forget that not having a regular income is not the same as being active in the long-term regular savings process. Someone may be a businessman, a freelancer, have seasonal income or earn income based on commission. In this case, even if his income is not the same every month, he will be able to buy when he has discretionary income after meeting all his necessary expenses. More in some months, less in some months, nothing in some months if necessary.

There should be no standard for discretionary income. If you have a decent source of income but you are not accumulation Bitcoin then you are independent about investment. But if you are accumulating Bitcoin regularly and can sustain one cycle initially, there should be no problem for you to become a regular investor and run two more cycles.

Is there any financial arrangement through which an investor can accumulate Bitcoin regularly without a regular source of income? I think such an arrangement may not work properly. Those who do not receive a regular salary will naturally not be able to sustain Bitcoin accumulation and you should have at least a small amount of discretionary funds.[

I believe you are giving too much consideration to someone having a steady salary.  While having a steady paycheck will certainly make planning easier, but I think regular income is not what determine if a person can accumulate Bitcoin in the long run.

It is possible for someone with irregular income to build a consistent accumulation habit if they are able to manage their cash flow very well and only accumulate from their discretionary income whenever it's available,  It is possible that purchases may not always happen the same day each week or each month, but that doesn't necessarily mean the accumulation process is not sustainable.

To me the bigger question is not if the money comes monthly, but whether the individual truly have a discretionary income available without jeopardizing or putting their financial responsibility at risk. This is actually the key factor that will help an investor to continue his or her Bitcoin accumulation without unnecessary pressure.
