Sure it is understandable that brand new people into bitcoin might feel that they are not able to commit for even 4 years, so brand new folks to bitcoin might come to bitcoin with ideas of getting in and out of bitcoin in less than 4 years, yet that is a trading mentality and the carrying out of trading activities, which we are not talking about in this thread.
You're right because people just starting out often lack time management. If they were ready to commit they would certainly gain a better understanding of Bitcoin in the four years they'd do so. If they only have the financial resources to understand Bitcoin it would be difficult for them to engage in the trading activities they likely hear about in every Bitcoin thread.
People start from where ever they are at, and sometimes it takes time for them to change their ways of thinking about matters, unless maybe they had already had some reason that they were inclined to think longer term.
So it can be possible to let them know that bitcoin is an investment rather than a trade - yet at the same time, they might be inclined to think about bitcoin as a trade or maybe thinking about something that they would like to save up and to buy, whether a car, or a house or investing into a business or something else. So even if they get started thinking about bitcoin as a trade, and if they get started buying bitcoin weekly, and studying bitcoin, they might come around to understanding bitcoin differently, including increasing their own timeline ideas.
When we buy BTC, We must put aside worries about the price because it fluctuates 24/7, So we don't need to Panic because we are investing for our future.
Finances will determine the smooth running of investments, If there is no steady income, investments will be hampered.
If we take the initiative to start now, we have a significant opportunity because we buy at a cheaper price than a few months ago.
Make sure your investment run as Smoothly as possible and don't let Stress get in the way, as It can interfere with Your daily activities.
Sure there is nothing wrong with starting now.
And there would have had been nothing wrong with starting in October 2025 (at the ATH).
Guys who don't have any bitcoin should start whenever they first hear about bitcoin, so long as they have discretionary funds.
So, yeah, it is one thing to get started buying, yet it is another thing to keep building the investment into bitcoin which can take 4-10 years or longer just to build it up, depending on a person's cashflow situation and also their dedication to buying bitcoin whether it is at 5% of their income or 25% of their income or some other amount, and of course, the more aggressive they are, then the more they would build their bitcoin holdings - and so they need to account for
their personal factors to help them to figure out their level of aggressiveness or their level of whimpiness in terms of their ongoing accumulation of bitcoin and/or other considerations that they might have.
I am not a great fan for ideas of waiting for the dip rather than ongoing buying, yet surely if a person finds themselves coming to bitcoin during a dip period like now, then it does seem to be a good time to get started, even though like I suggested it can be difficult to know the direction of the bitcoin price, even if the person had entered into bitcoin around September and/or early October when the bitcoin price was going to it ATH peak of $126k, when right now (for the last several hours) we are bouncing between $73k and $74k.. .and even seeming to want to push for lower levels, so we can never really know when or if the bottom is in, even though right now we are close to 42% below the October top.
