JJG’s Outline of Bitcoin Investment Ideas

[Itz-prisigold]

Commitment matters a lot when it comes to investing in bitcoin, not everyone have goals and that is the proper thing to do because the moment you start investing you should be able have an expectation,  and when you have an asset you need to be patient so that when the market is bull profit can be made. And there is no much emotions to manage the only thing you need to do is to stay positive, just be committed and continue buying until I don't just buy use all the strategy you can use to buy, and that is the only way your results can come.

You are just making your discussion to be centered around  waiting for the bull market to make profits, and it's sounding like the mean purpose of you investing into Bitcoin is mainly to just make profit and cashout later, such a perspective fails to consider the wider incentives that have led many to adopt Bitcoin in the first place, most especially those investors that actually think beyond short term market speculations and profit expectations.

And there is no much emotions to manage the only thing you need to do is to stay positive

I just feel this your point to just ‘stay positive and keep buying' mentality is just too oversimplified when it comes to Bitcoin investing.  It is important for you to know that positive attitude is not a key factor that will really help people stay disciplined during hard times in the market.  What keeps people invested in Bitcoin is having a sound financial structure in place, understanding their limits,  and investing only from their discretionary income instead of emotions or motivation.

just be committed and continue buying until I don't just buy use all the strategy you can use to buy, and that is the only way your results can come.

And this your point about investors should “use all the strategies they can to buy”  is actually too general because a strategy that will work for investor A might not actually work for investor B.  Investor A strategy may work well for them,  but that the same strategy could be disastrous for another investor who has a different financial situation, cash flow, or risk tolerance.

There is no specific time to stop investing. My advice is to reach your goal first and then take necessary steps regarding investment. You do not know how your life will be after a long time and what the situation will be like.

You sound confused Creeper0 in the beginning of your comment you said there's no specific time to stop investing, at the same time advising that investors should reach their goal first. It seems that you don't understand the meaning of "goal" just so you know goal is what you want to achieve take for instance your goal is to accumulate $60,000 worth of Bitcoin, after achieving this target you can decide to stop investing maybe to look into diversifying in other assets. It's true that there's no specific time to stop investing rather it's something we set by ourselves but you need to ensure that you reach your overaccumulation status before stopping.

In Bitcoin investment, when talking about goals, it is either a calculated time or long-term, which you can't really explain. The reason for this is that you don't have a limit or specific time on how you want your investment to last; you just know that it is long-term, and this is your main goal.

Every investor always has a goal, but the goal to invest for a given time is not enough. Despite everyone having a goal, some investors need to learn to work towards their goals because if it is not a long-term goal, then such a goal is not sufficient. A goal that needs to be achieved in a specific time can lead one to be desperate because Bitcoin investment can't be predicted; that is why goals should be long-term.

I know sometimes the DCA strategy might look slow or delay in meeting up your target but then it is also allowing to invest at your pace, it is allowing you attend to other needs. If not the DCA strategy a lot people won’t be able to have a Bitcoin investment today.

In as much as your are buying as possible as you can then their is not delay in your accumulation journey, with consistency you will get to your desire target.

There is nothing slow about DCA strategy or delay in your investment in bitcoin, you’re only meant to be investing in bitcoin when you don’t have a discretionary money, In a situation that you don’t have a discretionary income would you be using money meant for your expenses to invest in bitcoin because you don’t want to be slow or you don’t want to have a delay, that would be your responsibility for such decisions, DCA techniques gives you the leverage to buy bitcoin more comfortably when you can afford it, it doesn’t mean that DCA makes you slow, or would delaying your progress in bitcoin accumulation.

Personally DCA have been the best techniques for me to be accumulating bitcoin for a long term now and it has never made me slow or delay my progress, it’s been more good and better for me that I can accumulate whenever I have a discretionary income, buying and getting started is more important than not buying and not getting started with buying bitcoin.

DCA techniques makes me comfortable to keep buying bitcoin.

People who center theif idea of investing in Bitcoin towards profits mostly never get to their target before selling cause,since,they've already pictured a certain amount that they're expected to get as ROI, they tend to panic then sell when the market drops so bad, as an investor, ones mindset should be reaching their target and not worried about what to do to maximise future profits that would take long before  withdrawal.

Their mind should be set on making sure they take their accumulation seriously cause they might not even achieve the kind of profits they desire if they keep focusing on profits than accumulating consistently.

A lot of people believe that Dollar Cost Averaging or DCA slows down the pace of accumulating Bitcoin.. Really Dollar Cost Averaging teaches us to be disciplined with our money. I have found that Dollar Cost Averaging is helpful just like you have.

When the market for Bitcoin is really high or it is going up and down a lot it can be very risky to invest a lot of money at once. This is because we might be investing due, to fear of missing out or because of our emotions.

Dollar Cost Averaging helps us avoid this risk.

It helps us save Bitcoin regularly based on what we can afford without feeling stressed.

Using Dollar Cost Averaging is not a way to accumulate Bitcoin. It is actually a way to accumulate Bitcoin over a long period of time because it is safe and sustainable. The best thing to do is to start buying Bitcoin a little at a time using the money you have without using the money your family needs. The important thing is to start buying Bitcoin. That is a big accomplishment. Starting to buy Bitcoin is the real win and it is a great way to accumulate Bitcoin over time using Dollar Cost Averaging.

I agree with you, smart investors typically buy bitcoin regularly with the DCA either weekly or monthly basis or depending on how they figure out their discretionary income, but I think It’s better to focus on regular buying with the DCA instead of holding back funds in the name of saving it for lump sum buying. Lump sum buying doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to hold back or save money overtime huge enough to use and buy bitcoin at once. If you’re ongoingly investing in bitcoin regularly with the DCA and an additional money comes to you, nothing stops you from lump summing buy with it if the need be. So the idea of holding back funds and waiting to save money for lump sum buy is likened to become buying the dip strategy and no longer lump sum.

Every time someone buys Bitcoin they always consider their cash flow. Therefore when making a Bitcoin purchase they must adjust their cash flow accordingly. Without considering cash flow it's difficult to determine how much to invest even if their income or cash flow is stable. This demonstrates that careful consideration is paramount when purchasing Bitcoin, ensuring that any issues won't arise after completing their purchase, aligning with their cash flow and income whether weekly or monthly. The purchase method still uses the DCA system because it's a systematic approach. This is why many people prioritize this system when purchasing Bitcoin. It's very accessible to everyone especially since the system is now more targeted for Bitcoin buyers. I believe DCA is a reasonable choice for anyone looking to buy any amount of Bitcoin. It's clearly easy practical and straightforward for anyone to use.

I think you are mixing two ideas that should be kept simple. For me a clear approach is to sticks to DCA as a base strategy so accumulation stays consistent, and if extra money comes in, I can choose to add it without overthinking timing.

Most times holding back funds interrupts consistency and turns into guesswork. A disciplined investor avoids that.  So the solution is straightforward — stay consistent with DCA, and only use extra funds as a bonus, not as a strategy to time the market.

Overtime, the DCA method has been the commonly used strategy of accumulating Bitcoin and with what I have seen and what I have heard it has been great and that is why I decided to be using it for some time now and I will encourage anyone who's interested to adhere to this method because it is very cool in the sense that you can accumulate or purchase at any given point of the market and you don't need to over stretch, one can be able to accumulate regardless of how small the discretionary income is.

I don’t know what you trying to say their but whatever it is know that the statement is very wrong. Being it you trying to invest for a long period or not DCA have proven to be the best used n accumulating bitcoin, it is very convenient and also helping you to be a better person. DCA approach brings you more discipline in every aspect of life.

That statement is very misleading, as a newbie I advise you change that mindset and see DCA as best strategy used in accumulating bitcoin. A lot about DCA has been talked about in this thread and to see someone coming up and stating such statement is very surprising.

[ZeroVinsonN]

You saying the question " when it is enough stop to accumulating" has not really been answered means you have not been following JJG and some other folks here well because this question has been answered over and over I mean several times on this thread and some other thread and in case you have not seen the answer, well the answer to the question is that you can stop accumulating when you have gotten to your overaccumulation stage though it doesn't mean you will stop completely but that stage is enough because you can simply touch your investment when necessary.

You can stop saving today, you can stop tomorrow. Your funds are your right and your freedom. I am basically talking about your freedom, this freedom must not be misused.

There is no specific time to stop investing. My advice is to reach your goal first and then take necessary steps regarding investment. You do not know how your life will be after a long time and what the situation will be like. If the situation encourages you to save more, then continue saving or investing, if the situation encourages you to stop investing or saving and take profit from investment, then do so.

I find it discouraged to stop saving even without a very complicated reason. Even before achieving the goal, such a situation may arise where you may be forced to stop saving or investing, that day may be tomorrow or that day may never come in life. Therefore, whatever steps we take in investment, it should be in line with the situation and there should be a reliable reason for the steps.

You do have the right to stop whenever you want but what's the point in just stopping without any good reason for doing so, you just wanted to stop? That's not an investor's thing to do, if you don't have any discretionary income then you are very much allowed to halt your investment, after all you can't invest if you don't have your discretionary income to invest with but beyond that the only other logical reason to stop accumulating bitcoin is if you've reached over-accumulation and even then some investors who've reached over-accumulation still accumulate bitcoin from time to time usually through buying the DIP.

I understand that the DCA strategy feels slow sometimes, but that’s actually the strength of DCA. For me, it’s not about speed, it’s about staying in the game. DCA lets me invest without stressing my finances or neglecting other responsibilities.  At the end of the day, it’s patience , confidence and consistency that hits the target  not rushing.

[UpTober]

And this very reason of having being able to invest when you have the money availably ready no matter how little it might be is why then Dollar cost Average DCA remains the best strategy. Just like you said, some are being paid weekly, every 2 week or even monthly. Sometimes when even paid you might have a lot of needs attend that period and will have very Little left.

I think the main reason behind the effectiveness of the DCA investment strategy is that this strategy definitely reduces the mental pressure of investors in investing. If an investor is under excessive mental pressure about his investment, then naturally he will not be able to continue investing for a long time.

At least it is clear to us that an investor will never be able to take a perfect entry at the very high level of the market or at the very low level of the market, but if the investor has continuous investment, then the investor will not miss any investment opportunity.

Many investors have the misconception that they stop buying at that time or get more excited at that time when the market is relatively low, but those who actually understand these market issues and who invest in the DCA method usually try to buy more at that time when the market is relatively low.

And I would say that an investor should never wait for the "perfect entry" but should continue investing consistently on a weekly or monthly basis based on his income.

I know sometimes the DCA strategy might look slow or delay in meeting up your target but then it is also allowing to invest at your pace, it is allowing you attend to other needs. If not the DCA strategy a lot people won’t be able to have a Bitcoin investment today.

In as much as your are buying as possible as you can then their is not delay in your accumulation journey, with consistency you will get to your desire target.

It is very important for an investor to understand the continuity of investment correctly. Everyone can start investing, but not everyone can maintain the continuity of investment for a long time. When an investor understands his income, when he understands his expenses, as well as when that investor understands how much money is left after all his expenses and when the investor decides to invest, he will be able to ensure the continuity of his investment and he will be able to maintain his investment for a long time without stress.

Many times it happens to investors that investors do not understand the income and expenses and without understanding they make investment decisions, as a result of which they withdraw from investment due to not being able to manage money properly later. What I mean is that investing continuously with a relatively small amount of money without stopping investment will also be a good decision for the investor.
That is why the DCA investment strategy is so effective and so popular with investors because with this strategy, the investor can continue investing continuously, at the same time the investor can meet all the needs of his family and the investor himself can remain worry-free and stress-free.

DCA method is a suitable strategy for investors, if a person can invest in Bitcoin patiently, then he will definitely be successful. If you want to use the right strategy in Bitcoin investment and reduce your losses, then this DCA method will definitely be effective for him, because it forces your money to buy Bitcoin properly on a weekly basis, this forcing of buying Bitcoin will be very useful for you in the future. Because your money is used properly and by buying Bitcoin consistently, you are able to buy Bitcoin every week. So it becomes much easier for a patient person and through prudent income to keep Bitcoin investment for a long time.

theres no way the dca strategy slows down the pace of accumulating bitcoin, people who think so are probably doing that because they dont realy understand how the dca works, as a matter of fact no one is stopping them not to be aggressive with their buys if they want to especially if they have the financial capacity to do so. the dca is regarded as the most effective strategy of accumulating bitcoin regularly so i dont know why people will still think it slows down the accumulation pace or are they not aware that they can decide to dca daily and is allowed to do so even though most investors might prefer weekly or monthly as depending on when their discretionary income flows. at the end of the day what really matters in bitcoin investment is not about the speed you started with but what matters most is staying consistent even with your little buys, patience, and investing according to your financial means, the idea is to remain in the game long term.

I think you may be confused about the DCA method. DCA method for accumulation Bitcoin does not force any investor. This method is easier than any other method because investors of any income are recomanded to determine a strategy for accumulation Bitcoin through discretionary income. A poor person will do DCA based on his financial capacity, if he does not have discretionary income for a week, he will not be forced to buy Bitcoin.

Although having DCA consistently helps the investor increase the amount of Bitcoin holdings and grow the portfolio as a result of long term practice. In the long term this method is definitely a better investment strategy and considered easier. There is no need to confuse investors by adding forces things to long term investment and DCA method.

[Sim_card]

A lot of people believe that Dollar Cost Averaging or DCA slows down the pace of accumulating Bitcoin.

You can only buy bitcoin with your discretionary income based on its size. So, I don't see why you say DCA slows down accumulation pace especially, when you're buying weekly. Anyone buying weekly will always have a regular increase in his bitcoin portfolio overtime and I don't see that as slow. You cannot force yourself to buy bitcoin beyond your discretionary income or buy bitcoin when you don't have discretionary income otherwise, you are gambling.

It's waiting for the dip without buying any bitcoin even when you have discretionary income because you want to buy cheaper bitcoin that will slow down your accumulation pace because you are waiting clueless at the ball park of when the dip will come.

Dollar Cost Averaging helps us avoid this risk.

No investment is without risk and DCA cannot eliminate the risk in bitcoin investment because DCA is only a buying strategy. Common sense is what will help you reduce the risk in bitcoin investment buy not buying bitcoin with money that isn't your discretionary income and also set up an emergency funds and other backup funds as you have started your bitcoin investment.

Don't be carried away by short-term profits so that you don't deviate from your goal of being a long-term bitcoin investor to a trader.

Bro...Many people believe that DCA slows down Bitcoin deposits. But I agree with you that it never slows down Bitcoin deposits.


Actually, DCA is not a hard rule, it is a financial discipline. It can be done in any way you can, daily, weekly or monthly. Even when the market is in a big dip, there is no problem in being a little aggressive and setting additional buy orders according to your portfolio. I personally follow this strategy.

The all-in mentality often leads to FOMO and panic selling. Rather, it is wise to accumulate Bitcoin in small, regular increments to sustain long-term growth and maintain consistency. There is no more effective strategy for accumulating Bitcoin while maintaining peace of mind in a volatile market.

[Emjay24]

Every investor always has a goal, but the goal to invest for a given time is not enough. Despite everyone having a goal, some investors need to learn to work towards their goals because if it is not a long-term goal, then such a goal is not sufficient. A goal that needs to be achieved in a specific time can lead one to be desperate because Bitcoin investment can't be predicted; that is why goals should be long-term.

Are you saying that having a definite holding period is wrong? I don't think you're correct in that case since it is important that an investor sets clear goals for themselves which they would remain committed to, most times a benchmark helps us remain committed and having a defined holding period reminds the investor on a steady note that there is nothing like profit taking until that period has elapsed. Holding period can still be extended if the investor feels he has not arrived at his accumulation target and wants to keep adding to his portfolio. It's important that the holding period is defined on a long-term basis of 4 - 10 years or longer.

You are just making your discussion to be centered around  waiting for the bull market to make profits, and it's sounding like the mean purpose of you investing into Bitcoin is mainly to just make profit and cashout later, such a perspective fails to consider the wider incentives that have led many to adopt Bitcoin in the first place, most especially those investors that actually think beyond short term market speculations and profit expectations.

People who center theif idea of investing in Bitcoin towards profits mostly never get to their target before selling cause,since,they've already pictured a certain amount that they're expected to get as ROI, they tend to panic then sell when the market drops so bad, as an investor, ones mindset should be reaching their target and not worried about what to do to maximise future profits that would take long before  withdrawal.

People who have target on price are traders and not investors, a real investor has his target on his desired quantity and does not allow market sentiments to distract him or his commitment to enlarging his portfolio. Bitcoin doesn't pay a definite ROI, it's the value of your portfolio either increasing or reducing. Those who settle for quick profits never have the opportunity to benefit from a bigger and better value of their investment on the long-run.

Agreed, because the main strength of DCA is consistency. And most people end up timing the market while holding cash for the dip, which wastes both time and opportunity. The hardest truth is that market timing does not work for most people in the long run. So regular accumulation usually reduces emotional decisions. On the other hand, some people think that if you do DCA without understanding your ability or cash flow, then financial pressure can also be created. So, understand your cash flow and expenses and fix a safe DCA amount and continue it regularly until the planned time. And in the meantime, if you get extra funds, use it as an optional bonus buy. But of course, one thing you have to take very good care of is not to stop continuous DCA for market timing. Because your patience and regular accumulation of Bitcoin little by little will eventually become much bigger assets that are bigger than your imagination.

I don't think you're correct in that case since it is important that an investor sets clear goals for themselves which they would remain committed to, most times a benchmark helps us remain committed and having a defined holding period reminds the investor on a steady note that there is nothing like profit taking until that period has elapsed. Holding period can still be extended if the investor feels he has not arrived at his accumulation target and wants to keep adding to his portfolio. It's important that the holding period is defined on a long-term basis of 4 - 10 years or longer.

I think it's better to use a bitcoin target as a yardstick when accumulating bitcoin and not time frame to accumulate bitcoin because if you use time frame, you wouldn't know if you have reached an over accumulation stage since you don't have a specific quantity to accumulate as your goal.

You might even go as far as selling too many bitcoin too soon believing that you have accumulated enough bitcoin for yourself just because your targeted time to hodli has reach which you set for yourself. I don't think anyone needs a specific period to hodli because it means that once that time reaches, you will sell all your bitcoin portfolio which isn't the best to do for someone who has sacrificed a lot of time energy and money to accumulate bitcoin for a long period of time and has reached his bitcoin target.

Even when you have reached your over accumulation stage, you are to use the sustainable withdrawal method which you can use a price target to withdraw little or a particular period of time.

A lot of people believe that Dollar Cost Averaging or DCA slows down the pace of accumulating Bitcoin.

You can only buy bitcoin with your discretionary income based on its size. So, I don't see why you say DCA slows down accumulation pace especially, when you're buying weekly[/b[. Anyone buying weekly will always have a regular increase in his bitcoin portfolio overtime and I don't see that as slow. You cannot force yourself to buy bitcoin beyond your discretionary income or buy bitcoin when you don't have discretionary income otherwise, you are gambling.

It's waiting for the dip without buying any bitcoin even when you have discretionary income because you want to buy cheaper bitcoin that will slow down your accumulation pace because you are waiting clueless at the ball park of when the dip will come.

Dollar Cost Averaging helps us avoid this risk.

No investment is without risk and DCA cannot eliminate the risk in bitcoin investment because DCA is only a buying strategy. Common sense is what will help you reduce the risk in bitcoin investment buy not buying bitcoin with money that isn't your discretionary income and also set up an emergency funds and other backup funds as you have started your bitcoin investment.

Don't be carried away by short-term profits so that you don't deviate from your goal of being a long-term bitcoin investor to a trader.

You are right and i agree with your point here, if someone already has thier discretionary income available but keeps waiting endlessly for the bitcoin to drop to a cheaper rate before they could buy, that will actually slower thier bitcoin accumulation journey. I don't understand why some people keep delaying their investments journey when they already have money they can afford to lose comfortably, once the discretionary is available, there's no need to be hesitating, even if it's just to be buying bitcoin weekly with $20 or $30, before you know the amount will accumulate within a couples of months, the most important thing is just consistency and patience. So the steady and gradually accumulate over a period of time is not slow at all, it actually base on what one can reasonably afford to lose without getting themselves under any financial pressures and frustration.

The slow accumulation is truly. Someone who refuse to buy anything while waiting for the dip that’s not certain. Nobody can actually predict the market price with certainty, and by waiting for a perfect time or entry the price can moves up more and the opportunity is gone. Moreover consistent weekly buying keeps one's portfolio grows regularly over time and also reduces the stress of market timing.

just be committed and continue buying until I don't just buy use all the strategy you can use to buy, and that is the only way your results can come.

And this your point about investors should “use all the strategies they can to buy”  is actually too general because a strategy that will work for investor A might not actually work for investor B.  Investor A strategy may work well for them,  but that the same strategy could be disastrous for another investor who has a different financial situation, cash flow, or risk tolerance.

Sure, you make several reasonable criticisms of RockBell in your post - yet at the same time, the general idea of using all the strategies to buy is not a bad one.

I tend to suggest that guys ongoingly accumulate bitcoin through buying as aggressively as they are able to do without overdoing it, which implicitly suggest that they should be using whatever strategies that work for them and to also manage their cashflows, their back up funds, and to account for any of their own other financial or psychological particularities, including their risk tolerance.

We can give specifics and general ideas, yet in the end each person has to figure out the particulars. .and many of us likely realize that DCA tends to be a very great way to ongoingly customize to a person's cashflow situation and how that cashflow may well vary from time to time due to changes in income and/or changes in expenses... There also can be changes in priorities, too.  DCA is very great for adapting to individual variation that likely ongoingly is happening, even though also a person could set exact amounts that they are going to DCA, yet the income and expenses are still likely ongoingly varying.

Lump sum and buying the dip could also come into play at any time, and I personally am not too excited about buying the dip as a stand-alone practice, so I tend to think that it should either be a relatively small amount that is rationed to the individual and/or perhaps supplementing the various times that extra funds might come available (whether those extra funds are considered lump sum amounts or not).

Bro...Many people believe that DCA slows down Bitcoin deposits. But I agree with you that it never slows down Bitcoin deposits.

Actually, DCA is not a hard rule, it is a financial discipline. It can be done in any way you can, daily, weekly or monthly. Even when the market is in a big dip, there is no problem in being a little aggressive and setting additional buy orders according to your portfolio. I personally follow this strategy.

The all-in mentality often leads to FOMO and panic selling. Rather, it is wise to accumulate Bitcoin in small, regular increments to sustain long-term growth and maintain consistency. There is no more effective strategy for accumulating Bitcoin while maintaining peace of mind in a volatile market.

Your statement about DCA having small increments is a bit confusing, even though sure, if a guy is buying bitcoin every single week, then the amounts are going to seem small overall relative to the size of the whole bitcoin holdings, even if there might be some weeks in which the income is higher and/or the expenses are lower and larger quantities of funds might come available, DCA will still allow for a customizing of the buy amounts in accordance with the amount of money that comes available each week or whatever other period a person might be making choices to either make regularly scheduled buys and/or sometimes to increase or decrease the buy amounts based on how much money had come available in any period of time.

Even a person who might have had been investing $100 per week for years and years and years, he might find himself into a situation in which he suddenly has more money (such as he has an extra $2k), so then maybe he decides to invest $500 per week for the next 5 weeks in order to accommodate his having the extra $2k.

DCA does not need to be considered as small, especially for any guys who might be structuring their bitcoin buys to be as aggressive as they can without overdoing it.. and sure, the tension is ongoingly existing in regards to how not to overdo it.. by making sure that the back up funds are sufficient and that a person is not changing his aggressiveness based on reasons that are causing him to be emotional rather than making sure that he is sticking within the strength of his cashflows and his back up funds.
