JJG’s Outline of Bitcoin Investment Ideas

[Obulis]

There's no point talking about this matter as if there's anything wrong with making profit in Bitcoin and there's no point trying to separate profit making from Bitcoin investment. When you say Bitcoin investment there's tendency for bull or bear what so ever be the reason for investing. But somehow when talking about profit it is easily associated with quick profit as many newbies easily have in mind when hoping to start with Bitcoin or when thinking of Bitcoin. However, long-term holding will bull or bear making profit or lose a part of Bitcoin venture (no matter the reason) but this is not in anyway trying to equalize long-term holding and short-term holding because the difference is clear (short-term holding is usually associated with loses and long-term holding is usually associated with profit).

Mate, the short term profits and gains shouldn’t be our first priority when investing in bitcoin and never should we prioritize the profits because when we do that shows an attribute of a trader who is just after short term profits and such approach isn’t what we build investors to follow in this thread. The long term goals is the approach here.

It seems you didn't get my point of view, saying there's no need talking about profit making in Bitcoin as if there is something wrong with it is not as rewards to quick profit at all. When you invest there will be profit or lose and when you trade there will profit or lose but that's not a comparison and so far investing has been the best thing to do because it has proven positive for people than trading. So when talking of profit making I guess there should be specifications if it is on trading or investing. Not to forget, I acknowledge that talking about profit making in Bitcoin is commonly associated with trading because an investor do not expect profit the next day or week or as soon as possible only traders do but all together no matter how long it takes for an investor to make profit it is still profit that's why there's no point talking about profit making as if there's anything wrong with it in Bitcoin. The simple thing to do is to specify whether it's profit from investing or from trading.

I Agree with you, one mistake many investors make is to wait for  the perfect dip before buying bitcoin, but the truth is that no one can predict market movement accurately all the time. sometimes. The perfect time many  investors  wait for may not even come  and before you know it price will move far from where it was before. That’s why DCA method is very important. It removes emotional and guesswork from investing because you are buying consistently whether the market goes up or down. If the dip comes it is a nice opportunity to buy more at a cheap price, but it doesn’t stop you from your regular accumulation.

Since no one can give an accurate prediction about the market is that not a good reason why people should desist from waiting for the something that they can not actually say it's direction at anytime, whenever I hear some people talk about anoy perfect dip it makes me think that they are ignorant or they are trying to be smart which might end up ruining their investment plans, what is wrong about one buying with his discreationary income on a regular bases with the help of the DCA method, I do not know why some investors choose to deal themselves for nothing, the DCA method is there and as a matter of fact we know how efficient it is to use that method to accumulate Bitcoin, whats then the reason for waiting for a particular period you can as well buy while investing with the DCA method.

I am not in anyway supporting why investors particularly who has refused to desist from tirelessly waiting for the dip because DCA is the best for me. I think why they don't want to desist is not far from what's happening in the betting companies, putting small amount but wanting quick higher amount in return that is the traders. As for investors, they want that tendency of a higher return from small amount through their investment period that's why they don't want to desist from waiting for the perfect dip that usually never happen.

Still, even for long term holders, profit isn’t guaranteed. Bitcoin has crashed 70-85% multiple times, and a lot of people panicked and sold the lows.
The issue with all the “profit talk” isn’t profit itself. It’s the hype that gets people expecting fast money. Real investing takes patience and realistic expectations, not just hope

Profits is not guaranteed for long term investors but we still know that holding Bitcoin for long term greatly increase the possibility of making hood profits. How we know a good investment is looking at the past and the making future projections, for Bitcoin, those who have held for long have been swimming in great profits now. It is the expectations of every investor that Bitcoin is going to keep blessing those who hold for long and such expectations will not lead to disappointment. 

Even if we compare Bitcoin investment with other forms of investment, Bitcoin have remained the mist profitable asset we have seen. Apart from this profits, Bitcoin gives a lot of peace, not requiring the investor to do anything other than just keeping the coins safe in their wallets. This is a very small job to do for the type of profits that Bitcoin gives compared to other invesymemt portfolios. Holding Bitcoin is not what anyone should doubt because the future of Bitcoin is indeed bright.

[Silikiem]

This is the right time to buy Bitcoin, and you can be ready to buy Bitcoin in any situation. Because if you hold Bitcoin for a long time, then it is better for you to buy in any situation, so there is no reason to panic, the price of Bitcoin will definitely reach the highest point. Newbies may panic because they have not faced such a situation, so if you can buy Bitcoin and hold it in this situation, it will definitely be possible to get the maximum benefit.
Therefore, every person should use his money properly and invest in Bitcoin and move forward towards the future days, then he will have a good chance of getting rid of financial shortage later.

And since the price is down, then it's going to be the best time to buy, and that is the only way you can buy the dip for those that have been talking about buying the dip, now is the time because the price of bitcoin has been coming down, this is the perfect time to buy, and if it comes down more than this, then it's going to be proper preparation for anyone that wants to buy and then also accumulate.

Aside from buying the dip, you will be able to buy the dip or, either way, use the DCA strategy, and you will even forget about what you are holding because accumulation                                                                                                                         needs a lot of commitment because that is part of the criteria that can be used for anyone, and interest also matters in these situations because you have to also know exactly what you will be able to spare to invest in bitcoin and it is not something that you will want to impress anyone.

This situation, where prices are falling, presents an opportunity that both experienced and novice investors can take advantage of to buy Bitcoin. However, I believe that these purchases should be tailored to each individual’s capabilities, particularly their financial situation. DCA is a viable solution because it is the most sensible strategy to use. Since everyone has different financial situations and needs, the most appropriate approach when investing is to use the DCA strategy. Additionally, this investment should ideally be funded using discretionary income and not with funds that are fundamentally intended for other predetermined needs.

You don’t have to make it seems as though it’s only now when the price of bitcoin is falling that newbies have opportunity of buying bitcoin, as every time and day presents opportunity for them to always buy bitcoin as a long term investor where they can buy bitcoin at any market price through the help of the DCA method. Most newbies could be mislead into thinking that it’s only when the price is falling that they can buy bitcoin and this warranting most of them waiting until the price is dip before buying bitcoin which is no longer a DCA long term investing but rather a buying the dip pattern which is not the very right mindset to start investing in bitcoin because such mindset is likened to a traders mindset looking for a quick profit. Definitely, everyone will be happy to buy bitcoin when the price is very low so they could probably buy more at such a reduced price, but that’s not the only opportunity for them to invest as they can always buy bitcoin at any market price provided their discretionary income is available.

You're mixing past performance with future certainty. Bitcoin has rewarded many long term holders in the past, but that doesn't mean future investors cannot be disappointed.

It's fair to say Bitcoin has performed very well historically. It's not fair to say its future is guaranteed to be bright or that long term holders will definitely profit. No investment comes with that certainty.

[Joeboy]

One of the problem in changing aggressiveness levels during the dip is that the price can keep dipping and/or other issues of loss of income and/or increases in expenses could end up coming up which may well end up that guys ended up using money that was meant for other purposes to buy bitcoin.. and they ended up overdoing it and then trying to figure out how to deal with that when they end up suffering from unexpected decreases in income and/or increases in expenses.

It is not advisable for folks to be basing their level of aggressiveness on the presence of dips... And that's because it could very many ch encourage folks to be timing the price of Bitcoin which is mostly the traits and characteristics of traders rather than long term Bitcoin holders... And so whenever folks have their Discretionary income, they can adopt an aggressive buying system, regardless of whether Bitcoin's price is dipping or pumping...

No investment is guaranteed to yield a profit. You might be saying that Bitcoin is not guaranteed to yield a profit. If that is what you are saying, then you are right. To be honest, there is no guarantee of a specific profit by investing in Bitcoin. However, in the case of Bitcoin, it is not only about the profit.

Why would you invest only thinking about profit? You can also think that by accumulating Bitcoin, you are building a wealth. Although the profit in Bitcoin is uncertain, one thing is certain - if you control your wealth yourself, then you will have complete authority over that wealth; no one else will have control over it.

If after investing in Bitcoin, you are disappointed that there is no guarantee of whether you will make a profit or not, then you can have another investment vehicle in addition to Bitcoin, or you can be involved in a business. This will diversify your income sources and allow you to continue investing with discipline over the long term with more peace of mind.

As for investors, they want that tendency of a higher return from small amount through their investment period that's why they don't want to desist from waiting for the perfect dip that usually never happen.

Anyone waitinf for the price to come very low so that they can get their supposed perfect entry in order to make big profits is not an investor but a trader, there should be no need to sugar coat the statement.  It has been shown countless times that such approach is weak and faulty because it can make the investor run out of Bitcoin as he is not holding but converting his money into fiat at any given opportunity. Hence, those are not the people we should be discussing here since their patter does not align with what JJG outlined in his recommendations. We will do much better if we focus more on long term investor and how to go about it for efficient result.

[Rockstarguy]

Even considering the amount people use to invest with the DCA as small isn't exactly correct even, people invest what they can using the DCA, one of its best quality is that you don't need to have too much to be able to invest in bitcoin using the DCA, you just need to have your discretionary income from which you can invest any amount you can tolerate, anything more than that will be a problem for the person and if you can't afford to lose the money then it's not a small amount.

No amount is too small to invest in Bitcoin. In Bitcoin investment, the most important thing to consider is your limit on what you can afford to invest. If you are worried about the amount you can afford and decide to increase it when you can't comfortably afford it, it can affect everything. What matters most is how often one buys Bitcoin; if this can be done consistently, the amount that can be afforded to invest, even if it is small, is significant. In Bitcoin investment, the main target is to achieve a goal, which is success. It is important to stick to the amount that you can afford to achieve a better goal.

One of the problems, especially for beginners, is that they focus on the limits of others, which seem to be higher than their own, making them feel they are not investing enough. Everyone has their own ability to buy Bitcoin, and those who appear to be buying higher amounts are only buying what they can afford.

What you’re describing isn’t an investor. These are guys who are traders who pretend to be investors. Waiting for the dip, timing the market, aiming for short term profits or expecting higher returns from small investments are the characteristics of a trader.

Having a plan to buy at the dip is already affecting your psychology even if you’re ongoingly accumulating bitcoin.
It’s important for investors to stick to their DCA strategy cos even as the dip price might be cheaper if you’re consistent and regular with your DCA, you’re sure to have a good portfolio.

Yeah, we all understand that there’s not guaranteed in every investments, but do you know that investing in Bitcoin bring more returns and peace of mind then investing in any other coins that you don’t know about. Those that have been investing in Bitcoin for a very long time now where happy, because they knows that no mater how the market goes as far as they can be patient with the market conditions they most surely get the best outcome from the future market.

Anyone who invest in Bitcoin are going to think about the profits. Because they knows that Bitcoin is a reliable  currency that has be best coins all over the world, and which is everyone are rushing to have it as their assets.

For me, the biggest mistake in accumulating bitcoin is when someone sees bitcoin only through the lens of profit. Profit is important though ,but that is not always the goal.

Whenever I accumulate Bitcoin, I see it as building a position in an asset I fully control. The way I look at it, wealth is not just about how much money something can make today, but about what I can preserve and own tomorrow. That's why I focus more on accumulating and holding than constantly calculating profits. In the long run the Bitcoin I manage to hold may be worth more than any short term profit I was trying to make.

Some investors combine the DCA method with buying the dips and that works perfectly well. With this method, they will let their DCA accumulation continue to run smoothly irrespective of the market condition but during dips like we have now, they will activate aggressive accumulation to take advantage of the dips. This helps them get as much Bitcoins as they can get at lower prices, and as you know, it also makes achieving their targets possible in terms of the quantity of Bitcoin they would want to accumulated within a given time frame. Hybrid method of accumulation is very good but it is not compulsory that an investor must adopt that to avoid making mistakes.

[Jody.Drummer]

This situation, where prices are falling, presents an opportunity that both experienced and novice investors can take advantage of to buy Bitcoin. However, I believe that these purchases should be tailored to each individual’s capabilities, particularly their financial situation. DCA is a viable solution because it is the most sensible strategy to use. Since everyone has different financial situations and needs, the most appropriate approach when investing is to use the DCA strategy. Additionally, this investment should ideally be funded using discretionary income and not with funds that are fundamentally intended for other predetermined needs.

This momentum can be felt by all parties because a price drop like this is the right step for anyone with sufficient financial means to make purchases with the aim of increasing the amount of BTC which will become an asset for the future for those who don't waste the current opportunity.

DCA is a step that should be used by everyone because this strategy is the best way to buy Bitcoin. However we must consider our cash flow. When investing it's best not to force yourself to do so as it could become a serious problem. Therefore it's better to make purchases based on your income and within your means.

I say this because the DCA strategy doesn't require large sums. The consequences are clear everyone's income is different but the situation is unique. Some people may make purchases without considering their needs. Ultimately when something unexpected happens they may have to sell back their impressive investment or even half of what they've accumulated. Therefore it's not that you can't invest large sums but you should be mindful and avoid overextending yourself with large sums because we still have responsibilities to fulfill.

Well, it’s certainly a given that this price drop is an opportunity that should be taken advantage of such as by making a purchase but before doing so, we also need to consider other factors, particularly regarding cash flow or finances. We shouldn’t go so far as to invest all our savings, even though we have the right to do so personally, I don’t recommend making such a decision. What you mentioned is exactly what needs to be avoided. Some people might do this by pooling all their money when they feel the timing is right like during a price drop but that approach causes other things to be neglected, such as basic needs that must be met. And when something unexpected happens, this forces them to sell their Bitcoin. This means that money management is also something that must be paid attention to.

Hybrid method of accumulation is very good but it is not compulsory that an investor must adopt that to avoid making mistakes.

Guys can do what they want, and of course, if they have a lot of discretionary funds or a lot of other assets or maybe even they had been accumulating bitcoin for a good amount of time, such as over several years, then maybe in those cases, they might be advantaged to supplement their DCA approach with buying on the dip.

Yet many times, guys are better off to just ongoingly accumulate bitcoin within their regular methods of figuring out how much discretionary funds that they have and then allocating some portion towards investing in bitcoin, another portion into their back up funds and another portion into their discretionary spending.

Sure, if they want to hold back an additional 10% to 20% of their regular DCA amount for buying dips, then maybe that could work out for them, even ethough there are trade offs in holding back money for dips.

Another thing that might happen from time to time, is that guys might end up with extra money, so then maybe they are used to buying $100 in bitcoin every week, an they had been doing that for more than a year, and then all of a sudden they receive an extra $3k (maybe a bonus, or inheritance or some other stroke of luck), and so then all of a sudden they have an amount of money that is equal to 30 weeks of their regular DCA amount.  Sure, they might continue to DCA, yet with the extra $3k, they can also decide how much of it they are going to allocate to bitcoin buying, and if they were to allocate all of it to bitcoin buying, then they could decide 1) how much they will use to buy bitcoin right away, 2) how much they will defer by time (DCA) and/or 3) how much they will defer by price (buying on dips that may or may not end up happening).

This situation, where prices are falling, presents an opportunity that both experienced and novice investors can take advantage of to buy Bitcoin. However, I believe that these purchases should be tailored to each individual’s capabilities, particularly their financial situation.

Well, it’s certainly a given that this price drop is an opportunity that should be taken advantage of such as by making a purchase but before doing so,

Why is there a need to "take advantage" of the current dip?  What do you expect a guy to do?

What if the guy is already buying bitcoin every single week, and he is already deciding how much of his discretionary funds to use to buy bitcoin?  You expect the guy to get money out of no where? or are you saying that the guy had been holding back money for a long time, and now is the time to use that money that he had been holding back? 

Some guys just seem to believe that money comes out of no where, and if a guy has money to be buying extra bitcoin on the dip, then that likely means that he was investing in overly whimpy ways in earlier times, and that is why he has extra money to buy dips.  I doubt that holding back money is a good idea and I doubt that earlier ways of buying bitcoin in a whimpy way was a good way of managing bitcoin buys.

I could see that if a guy had $150 per week in discretionary funds, and he had been putting $50 into investing, $50 into back up funds and $50 into discretionary consumption, then maybe he wants to cut back on his discretionary consumption, but that also might not be a good idea.

It is a good idea for guys to increase their discretionary income, yet it seems a bit foolish to either presume that money automatically comes available because there had been a dip, and it seems that if money was available, then the guy had been holding back alot of money that he could have had already been using to buy bitcoin on a regular basis.

we also need to consider other factors, particularly regarding cash flow or finances. We shouldn’t go so far as to invest all our savings, even though we have the right to do so personally, I don’t recommend making such a decision. What you mentioned is exactly what needs to be avoided. Some people might do this by pooling all their money when they feel the timing is right like during a price drop but that approach causes other things to be neglected, such as basic needs that must be met. And when something unexpected happens, this forces them to sell their Bitcoin. This means that money management is also something that must be paid attention to.

Well, at least this paragraph shows that you recognize that the extra money to buy the dip does not just magically appear out of no where, and so if guys have some extra money to buy the dip, then they likely had been holding it back, and maybe it is not any kind of BIG problem if they have some money to buy the dip as long as they had been ongoingly continuing to make their regular DCA buys (whether weekly or otherwise).

[B2Z]

Additionally, some people tend to panic when prices drop. They might buy by fully investing the amount they have when prices fall, but the fear is that the price will remain low for a long time or even drop further. Out of panic, they end up selling, resulting in nothing but losses.

People who do this are called traders, they are not prepared to invest in Bitcoin the right way which why they are anxious to see profits with a very short time. Any investor that plans to hold Bitcoin for a long time will not panic and sell when proce drop lower, he will basically not be worried because he is not anxious to sell. This is why the DCA method is highly recommended because it is pro-buying as there is no pressure on the investor because by design, the DCA method requires that the investment is made with small amount of money compared to the total discretionary income. This makes the investment peaceful for the investor.

Not only do the traders do this; I think anyone who has risked way more money that isn't made to be used for Bitcoin investment or money that he can afford to lose can be found in this behavior, attaching their emotions. You don't use money that's meant for your rent to invest in Bitcoin; you definitely will be forced to sell seeing how much the price has dropped; aside from that, I don't see a reason why one would.

It is good to be prepared for a Bitcoin price drop because it will prevent you from making too many emotional decisions. Many new investors get overly excited by reviewing past prices and therefore they want to use leverage. But I would advise them to be risk tolerant and review the amount of funds you invest whether you can afford to lose because the price is volatile and can fall further at any time.

It is better not to buy Bitcoin with your required funds. Use the DCA method for Bitcoin accumulation and manage it long term through discretionary income because the possibility of future price increases and if a bull run starts, Bitcoin will definitely exceed its previous ATH- $126k and will definitely break its previous price record multiple times this year.

The way you said it is not actually investment but it is trading. You are an investor here, how do you use leverage as an investor? Investment is not done in a short time, but we consider those who hold it for a long time as investors. Suppose an investor uses leverage, then how long can he hold his investment using this leverage, if he wants to for a long time, he will not be able to because the market will change constantly and due to this change, it will be seen that he has been liquidated, then he will lose everything.

If you introduce yourself as an investor, I will say that there is no need to do these things, but understanding his income and his discretionary income, he should invest consistently and the important thing is that he should try to hold it for a long time.

Yes, the investment may be less due to increased expenses in a week or a month, it is not a problem, but the problem is selling before a certain time. If you do not think about the emergency fund when investing, then later on, the investor may have to sell the investment during financial danger, so an ideal investor should also think about an emergency fund.

One of the problem in changing aggressiveness levels during the dip is that the price can keep dipping and/or other issues of loss of income and/or increases in expenses could end up coming up which may well end up that guys ended up using money that was meant for other purposes to buy bitcoin.. and they ended up overdoing it and then trying to figure out how to deal with that when they end up suffering from unexpected decreases in income and/or increases in expenses.

It is not advisable for folks to be basing their level of aggressiveness on the presence of dips... And that's because it could very many ch encourage folks to be timing the price of Bitcoin which is mostly the traits and characteristics of traders rather than long term Bitcoin holders... And so whenever folks have their Discretionary income, they can adopt an aggressive buying system, regardless of whether Bitcoin's price is dipping or pumping...

Some investors combine the DCA method with buying the dips and that works perfectly well. With this method, they will let their DCA accumulation continue to run smoothly irrespective of the market condition but during dips like we have now, they will activate aggressive accumulation to take advantage of the dips. This helps them get as much Bitcoins as they can get at lower prices, and as you know, it also makes achieving their targets possible in terms of the quantity of Bitcoin they would want to accumulated within a given time frame. Hybrid method of accumulation is very good but it is not compulsory that an investor must adopt that to avoid making mistakes.

It comes down to the level of your discretionary funds, if you have excess you can do more than one strategy of buying Bitcoin but if you don't it is better to do only DCA. Everybody wants to buy dip because that is when you will buy Bitcoin cheaper but if you are too focused on buying dip and overlook the level of your discretionary funds that is not a good financial management. We should learn to ignore what we cannot afford, instead of forcing yourself to buy dip you can work on increasing your income so that you will have enough money to do more than one strategy.

I don't support combining different bitcoin accommodation strategy the reason why I don't support it is because it will distract you and may lead you to make some mistake it is better you focus and continue with One strategy so you will know exactly what you are doing and you will be focused, DCA is the best strategy to use no matter how big or small your discretionary income is.
When you are using DCA strategy to accumulate Bitcoin regularly you can also decide to have a reserve funds that you will use to accumulate aggressively whenever there is a dip, this is just the best way to go not using different bitcoin accumulation strategy.

There is nothing wrong combining different accumulation strategies if you know what you are doing. If you understand how to combine them and you definitely understand what you doing,you won't have any problems when using them to accumulate bitcoin. The only problem is when you don't have Idea on  how these strategies works that's when you will make mistakes when combining them to accumulate bitcoin for the long-term but as long as you have basic knowledge of this three bitcoin accumulating strategies,DCA,buy dip and lump sum you won't make mistakes when combining them to to accumulate bitcoin.

It is quite difficult to guarantee that he will not make a mistake even if he has basic knowledge. Because even if you know how DCA, buy the dip and lump sum work, he can make a mistake. If your cashflow management is not right.

Guys can make mistakes when they overdo it or underdo it, which can have financial and/or psychological impacts.

It seems that if decently good financial practices are in place to both build bitcoin holdings and to ongoingly strengthen cashflow management by assuring that sufficient back up funds are available, then the psychology will not become overly worked up.  So when guys figure out their discretionary funds, then each guy still needs to figure out how much to allocate towards investing, savings and discretionary consumption, and yeah if the guy has all kinds of things going on around him, and they cost money, there can be temptations to spend money, so there needs to be balance and each guy has to identify the balance in an ongoing way.

I’m with you, because now every successful bitcoin accumulation is not just about how you buy bitcoin. but is all about how well you be able to manage your finances, now for investors who cross their limit by allocating too much of their discretionary income into bitcoin may may find themselves under financial pressure whenever unexpected things happen, and again investing just little out of fear that may prevent them to missing out opportunities to reach their goals, this is the reason why balance is so much important. because now a good financial foundation including emergency funds, gives investors the confidence to continue their accumulation of bitcoin regardless of market conditions, whenever you know that basic expenses are covered, you are less likely to panic whenever the bitcoin price drops.

Even considering the amount people use to invest with the DCA as small isn't exactly correct even, people invest what they can using the DCA, one of its best quality is that you don't need to have too much to be able to invest in bitcoin using the DCA, you just need to have your discretionary income from which you can invest any amount you can tolerate, anything more than that will be a problem for the person and if you can't afford to lose the money then it's not a small amount.

In my opinion, when using the DCA strategy, it’s not a problem if the accumulated amount is small, because it really depends on your own financial capacity as long as you don’t exceed your means, it’s not a bad thing.

The key point is that whatever amount is allocated must align with our own capabiliti this is why effective financial management is crucial. It’s pointless to accumulate large amounts if, at the same time, we can’t manage our finances properly. I believe DCA is a suitable strategy for accumulating BTC. Not only is it easy to understand, but it’s also fundamentally easy to implement, making it suitable for anyone especially beginners.
