JJG’s Outline of Bitcoin Investment Ideas

[icebar]

For those beginners, it is better to come without rushing into investing because if the investment is more appropriate according to our own abilities, if we are forced to exceed the strength that we have, in the end, the problem will be experienced by them, so let alone beginners, even people who have been doing it for a long time must do it according to our abilities and there is no need to force yourself to do something too aggressive, this will be a problem if it does not happen as desired.

As long as they can control cash flow well then why delay because in this case delaying for a while could have lost their momentum to buy bitcoin. What needs to be thought of from the start is how their cash flow is as long as it looks good enough and there are already funds that can be spent, it would be better to buy as soon as possible than you have to wait just because of some unreasonable reasons such as waiting for prices or declines to occur which may be conditions like that are difficult to happen.

I agree when saying invest according to their own abilities but if this is used as a reason for them to wait even though they already have funds that can be bought bitcoin it feels like it will only waste your time and moment to buy.

People should always invest in bitcoin based on there financial situation and this should be done using there discretionary income because it won't be a wise idea for an investor to overstretched themselves or put themselves into unnecessary financial pressures. Bitcoin investment should be done based on investor financial capacity.
It is not a good idea to wait for a price decline before a long term investors can start buying since they are not going into trading.

Investing according to our reach is very important and I also encouraged everyone should do that but it doesn't mean if you have a good discretionary income and there is an opportunity to take advantage of the market you won't do it, that is not the right thing to do because we have all the right to be aggressive or overstretched like you said when there is a Dip. However, doing this severally or when there is a Dip will help an investor gain or have a great portfolio in a short period of time.

Being aggressive is not the same as being overstretched. While sustainable aggressive is acceptable, being overstretched is dangerous. An investor can be temporarily aggressive if he understands his own cash flow, expenses, reserve fund and holding timeline well. But when he buys more just because of the dip without understanding his limits, then it is no longer healthy accumulation. It can later create the risk of forced selling in the future.

Just because the price has dropped a little, it should not be considered a dip. The price may fall further, income may decrease, expenses may increase or a personal situation may arise where cash is needed. So, it may be good to buy more during the dip, but it should not be done at the expense of regular DCA strategy or emergency fund.

I agree with you, many investors always mistakes being aggressive, to being financially strong. To buy every dip may sound smart, but if the money you are using to invest is not money that you can comfortably leave  in long term, then you are putting yourself under unnecessary risk. The important thing is not how much you buy during a dip, but if you can survive if the market falls. Nobody knows tomorrow. What may look like a small dip today, can turn into life changing wealth in the future. I believe that emergency fund and regular DCA should come first. Buying during the dip is good, but only when it won’t affect your financial stability. So the goal isn’t just to accumulate more assets, but to avoid putting yourself in a situation where you would force your self to sell at a wrong time.

I concur with your view since there are many people who invest without recognizing the difference between aggressiveness and readiness. Investing all the capital in buying the dips can be an effective strategy only if it concerns extra and long-term funds.

What is crucial about investing is not what amount one can acquire during the dips, but being able to remain in the process despite any unfavorable changes on the market side. Predicting short-term fluctuations of prices and making decisions in their regard is nearly impossible. The slightest dip may go further, which causes people to make hasty steps and eventually leads to losses.

In order to remain profitable, one should have an adequate amount of savings and a well-established practice of DCA. This method does not cause risks related to dips and allows an investor to be ready for any changes. Of course, dipping can help increase your profits, but under the condition when it does not cause financial problems.

To conclude, the ultimate goal of any investment is not to achieve a rapid growth of your portfolio, but to be sure that there will never be a need to sell off everything due to any emergency situations.

I think one of the  major thing that determines which Bitcoin accumulation strategy someone uses is their finances, not just their knowledge. Because someone with a large discretionary income available can use lump sum. While someone with a steady income but little funds may prefer DCA. And someone with extra cash on the side may  decide to buy dips when opportunities come.

Though  knowing how the strategies work is important, but your financial situation is what usually decides which strategy is best for you. That's why there is nothing wrong with using one strategy or combining different ones if it matches your income and long term goals.

I don’t think that is necessarily the case. And i’m assuming that you don’t really know the definition of lump sum and DCA and that is why you’re exaggerating the connection between a person’s financial situation and specific strategies that they may use in their bitcoin investment. A person with a large discretionary income can still do DCA and even a person with little funds too can still save up and occasionally make lump sum purchases to put into their stash. So it is not always really the amount of money that a person has that will determine their strategy, but it is how that person chooses to deploy that money over their investment that determines the strategy.

The amount of money each investor has to invest does not determine his strategy. However, we cannot completely deny that financial conditions have some influence. The one who has a larger amount of extra money has a relatively greater opportunity. If an investor chooses lump sum along with regular investments, it depends on his goals, risk management and his personal preferences.

Different people have different amounts the can consider as lump summing, if it's lump summing to you it might not be for others so a person can be DCAing with an amount of money that can be considered lump sum by others, it's completely dependent on the investor and how much discretionary income they have, the strategy to use is a choice that doesn't necessarily depend on how much they have, it's more about what works and for most people what works is the DCA.

The financial strength of every investor can never be the same so also their knowledge and understanding can never be the same, that is why we see some people make mistakes in their investment and some even sell because of lack of knowledge and understanding. The amount Mr A is using to accumulate a week can be Mr B 1 month accumulation but the mistake someone will make will be to challenge or want to competite when they don't have the capacity, be comfortable with what you can afford for the main time.

[Obulis]

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.

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.

Come to think of it, the fact that Bitcoin investment is not guaranteed and the fact that many long-term holders were rewarded in the past are two different things. That many long-term holders were rewarded in the past is because of the nature and advantages of long-term not because it's guaranteed and these advantages and nature of Bitcoin long-term holding is still real so that means history will likely repeat itself. Don't forget that it rewarded many long-term holders not all, making long-term holding not guaranteed for every investor past and present. So the future of Bitcoin investment is not guaranteed for all long-term holders but many long-term holders will likely be rewarded like it happened before.

Also when your goal is being met at that particular time of buying more bitcoin, then what next after when your financial needs arises, be forced to sell off part of your investment or all? , just because you never had a proper planning on how to invest in Bitcoin.

Investing in bitcoin should only be done with your discretionary income and not money meant for other expenses because you want to aggressively invest because of the present dip in market price, it will lead you to failure of your bitcoin investment.

For a Bitcoins investor to invest in Bitcoin with the money that is not his/her discretionary income or for the person to invest with income that will be needed or without his/her emergency funds, that clearly shows that the person is not a good investor and might likely not succeed, the reason why I said the person is not a good investor and might likely not succeed is that even for someone that is just a beginner and have a good orientation on how to invest or had learner well on how and when or income to be used for investment should know that investment should only be done with a discretionary Income with emergency funds and not otherwise.

Of course, investment comes from discretionary funds and can come from back up funds to the extent that the back up funds are extra funds which would be reserve funds and not from emergency funds.  Usually the back up funds that are labeled as emergency funds would not be used for buying bitcoin since buying bitcoin is not an emergency. 

If emergency funds are managed in reasonable ways, then they would be used only for basic expenses in times that income might be low and/or basic expenses high, and there are no other funds left to use, and of course, if the emergency funds are depleted, then at that point a person would have no choice except to tap into his bitcoin.

I agree with your point  sir @JayJuanGee and I  also think it is important for investors to keep building  his emergency fund while accumulating bitcoin, this helps to build a solid financial foundation while also increasing their Bitcoin holdings. Because when your emergency fund and basic needs are covered, it becomes easier to hold your Bitcoin through difficult times without being forced to sell at the wrong time.

So the goal isn’t just to accumulate more assets, but to avoid putting yourself in a situation where you would force your self to sell at a wrong time.

Calling "buying the dip" good still pushes that market timing mindset. It's basically guessing when to throw extra money in, and most people get it wrong. They buy too early, go too hard, then freak out and sell when it drops more. Nobody knows tomorrow like you said
Trading and chasing dips isn't investing, it's just speculating.
It’s better to just stick with steady DCA and ignore the dips completely

[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,

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).

It's possible that each person has different savings, including their emergency fund and discretionary income. This accumulated savings could be used to purchase a larger amount of Bitcoin than their weekly purchases. However, having funds automatically available is impossible, as we earn money through our salaries. I agree with you that's a foolish assumption, but with savings, it makes sense. Someone who manages their finances well, where they can divide their money into several parts, such as meeting basic living needs, setting aside a portion for an emergency fund, savings, and also investing with discretionary income, has savings that can be used for whatever they want, one of which is increasing purchases when prices are down.

When emergency funds and necessary expenses are already secured. Then it is not a wrong decision to continue regular DCA and increase the accumulation during dips when the price falls. The most important thing is to keep an emergency fund aside and ensure the security of basic living expenses. In my opinion, if there is excess savings, a part of that savings can be used in a large dip. However, it must be kept in mind that all the money cannot be poured in just because of a slight decrease in breath. The reason may be that the price may fall further. The mistake that beginners always make is that when the price falls by 10% to 15%, they think that they have caught the dip, but in reality catching the dip is not that easy.

[Princess Leah]

Investing according to our reach is very important and I also encouraged everyone should do that but it doesn't mean if you have a good discretionary income and there is an opportunity to take advantage of the market you won't do it, that is not the right thing to do because we have all the right to be aggressive or overstretched like you said when there is a Dip. However, doing this severally or when there is a Dip will help an investor gain or have a great portfolio in a short period of time.

Being aggressive is not the same as being overstretched. While sustainable aggressive is acceptable, being overstretched is dangerous. An investor can be temporarily aggressive if he understands his own cash flow, expenses, reserve fund and holding timeline well. But when he buys more just because of the dip without understanding his limits, then it is no longer healthy accumulation. It can later create the risk of forced selling in the future.

Just because the price has dropped a little, it should not be considered a dip. The price may fall further, income may decrease, expenses may increase or a personal situation may arise where cash is needed. So, it may be good to buy more during the dip, but it should not be done at the expense of regular DCA strategy or emergency fund.

At some point in Bitcoin investment, being aggressive is allowed so far there's fubds available to make it realistic but too much of everything is bad so being overstretched or overaggressive as normally used, is bad for an investment, it's more risky in the sense that the investors who do that normally use funds for daily expenses and emergency funds for the investment while trying accumulate more.

 Every investor should know the limit of their cashflow and try to manage it properly so it doesn't end up causing more harm to the investment than good while trying to accumulate more Bitcoin. They should also know when their discretionary funds warrants aggressiveness and how to use different funds rightly.

[Loyang]

Emergency fund is created through discretionary income. The amount of money left over after deducting all expenses from our source of income, such as family expenses, personal expenses, is our discretionary income. This discretionary income should be used to invest and save money for emergency fund and additional expenses.

If you create an emergency fund from your source of income, then if your fund includes the required amount of money, then you will not be able to maintain your fund in the long term and maybe if you need that amount of money at the moment before the emergency, then you will not be able to deal with the emergency situation.

It is good to be aggressive but it is never good to be overly aggressive. You can invest as aggressively as possible without going overboard, but you have to find out how aggressive you can be or how much money you have to be aggressive.

[Ishicryptic]

I agree with you, many investors always mistakes being aggressive, to being financially strong. To buy every dip may sound smart, but if the money you are using to invest is not money that you can comfortably leave  in long term, then you are putting yourself under unnecessary risk.

Buying dip is not bad but it just needs the investor to understand financial management so that they can make the right decision whether they are financially capable to buy or not, if you understand financial management you cannot be spending money impulsively. If you want to buy dip you should first know that taking the fund from your basic needs is not a good financial decision and if you want to take it from your discretionary funds you should know whether there is enough spare funds in it to buy dip.

If you are able to put all your wants into consideration and decides that you can cope with but buying dip then it is a good idea if not it would be a terrible idea. Anything that will put you under pressure about Bitcoin accumulation should be avoided, if cannot afford to buy dip and buying aggressively then you should focus on DCA strategy alone, you can always buy dip when you have the extra discretionary fund for it.

Don’t confuse yourself @samadam007. Buying the dip is totally different from waiting for the dip before buying. So there is nothing wrong if a dip happens and a person decides to buy it as long as they have discretionary funds for it and they are not overstretching themselves financially. The only time buying the dip can become a bad thing is if the person decides to be waiting for a dip to happen first before they can purchase some Sats and add it to their portfolio instead of them to be ongoingly accumulating regardless of wether there is a dip or not.

If you have the mindset of investing consistently in the long term, whether or not you invest aggressively in all these short-term dips will not have much impact.

Well i don’t agree with you on this. I think that buying the dip can actually have a positive impact on a person’s investment investment size in the sense that it can help them to accelerate the pace of their accumulation and perhaps it might even help folks to reach their target faster and lower the basis of their average cost as long as the have sufficient capital available to invest during those periods. Certainly when the prices falls in the bitcoin market, a person can be able to use the same amount of money that they normally use to invest before to buy a more larger fraction of the asset which is bitcoin. So even though a person’s success in bitcoin investment does not entirely depend on them buying dips, buying dips can still help to encourage success for them.

[SPIDERMAN008]

When emergency funds and necessary expenses are already secured. Then it is not a wrong decision to continue regular DCA and increase the accumulation during dips when the price falls. The most important thing is to keep an emergency fund aside and ensure the security of basic living expenses. In my opinion, if there is excess savings, a part of that savings can be used in a large dip. However, it must be kept in mind that all the money cannot be poured in just because of a slight decrease in breath. The reason may be that the price may fall further. The mistake that beginners always make is that when the price falls by 10% to 15%, they think that they have caught the dip, but in reality catching the dip is not that easy.

If the price drops, then if someone thinks to do DCA in a aggressive way, there is no problem, but it must be within the discretionary income. Buying in dip cannot be considered so important and mandatory that it moves away from the mindset of buying Bitcoin regularly and a trading type mentality comes. If you have the mindset of investing consistently in the long term, whether or not you invest aggressively in all these short-term dips will not have much impact. But you are directly saying that you should invest in dips from your additional savings. But no one can say when the perfect dip will come. So if the price of Bitcoin decreases further after investing a large amount, then you will have to regret it. And understanding or predicting  dip is not easy, it is impossible.

For me I think from time to time agressive Bitcoin acumulation should be activated because it helps us to reach our target faster than we expect, I don't think that agressive buying is tied to the dip alone, although some persons prefer to do the agressive buying then due to the fact that it will be in a lower price so it will enable them to buy more Bitcoin at a cheaper price then, youvarr right that investors should not make buying the dip the only option of buying Bitcoin, infact that might even be worst decision for any Bitcoin investor because such might even mark the end of their long-term plan if they act in that direction of traders, I have come to the conclusion that many of those who lay much emphasis in buying the dip buying may not actually be long term investors.

[KeenanEl19]

investment should only be done with a discretionary Income with emergency funds and not otherwise.

Of course, investment comes from discretionary funds and can come from back up funds to the extent that the back up funds are extra funds which would be reserve funds and not from emergency funds.  Usually the back up funds that are labeled as emergency funds would not be used for buying bitcoin since buying bitcoin is not an emergency. 

The emergency and back up funds might seem similar maybe cause they can be derived from the discretionary fund but people confused them and how to use them for investment, it's very correct that the discretionary fund is specially good for investment but the back up funds can be used as a temporary cover up for investment while the emergency funds is basically for emergency situations.

 For instance, lets say an investor couldn't temporarily add to his discretionary funds due to a job lost or so, the person can temporarily use the backup funds as cover up for the investment till the person is able to secure another job or means of earning whereby the discretionary funds can be sustainable, it's better than using funds meant for emergency situations for the investment.

Emergency funds are basically created to overcome emergencies or urgent situations that do occur outside of what we think so this should not be used for other things that are not actually urgent situations. If with the reserve fund it still makes sense to cover temporarily as you said and must be underlined only temporarily.

I think the example that you said is correct and easy to understand. But what must be considered is not to be too lazy or relax because we feel there is a reserve fund that can be used, it would be better if we also look for a job that can become the main source of income again.

When emergency funds and necessary expenses are already secured. Then it is not a wrong decision to continue regular DCA and increase the accumulation during dips when the price falls. The most important thing is to keep an emergency fund aside and ensure the security of basic living expenses. In my opinion, if there is excess savings, a part of that savings can be used in a large dip. However, it must be kept in mind that all the money cannot be poured in just because of a slight decrease in breath. The reason may be that the price may fall further. The mistake that beginners always make is that when the price falls by 10% to 15%, they think that they have caught the dip, but in reality catching the dip is not that easy.

You don't need to keep excessive funds on you just because you want to buy aggressively during the dip. What if the dip did not come, you will be slowing your investment pace because you're investing in a whimpy way. If you have already built up your reserve funds and other backup funds, there's no need piling up too much funds waiting for the dip because fiat depreciates in value. Put it into bitcoin with DCA.

I prefer to invest aggressively with DCA because you can easily plan yourself for it and achieve it than waiting for the dip before buying aggressively, that is under probability and you don't know when that will happen. You might even use the money for something else hoping that the dip wouldn't come soon. Put your discretionary income into bitcoin when it arrives and don't wait because the price of bitcoin is increasing overtime.

Waiting for the dip before buying aggressively means that you won't be able to ongoingly buy aggressively for long periods of time.

If they're doing this, we need to ask is their goal in accumulating a large amount of money only to accumulate a large amount of BTC when the price drops? What if market conditions persist at a price that doesn't align with their predictions?

On the one hand I agree with what you said they're willing to adopt an overly aggressive pattern of buying Bitcoin when the price drops making them so confident in the price drop that they pretend they're like a bookmaker who always correctly predicts the price that will occur according to their predictions when in reality no one is correctly predicting the exact price they desire. This is one of the things that slows them down or delays them from starting to invest. Anyone who has been investing in Bitcoin for years wouldn't use such a pattern as it wastes opportunities to build a portfolio. Therefore I think your answer is very appropriate for those who don't yet understand the procedures for investing in Bitcoin.

If the price drops, then if someone thinks to do DCA in a aggressive way, there is no problem, but it must be within the discretionary income. Buying in dip cannot be considered so important and mandatory that it moves away from the mindset of buying Bitcoin regularly and a trading type mentality comes. If you have the mindset of investing consistently in the long term, whether or not you invest aggressively in all these short-term dips will not have much impact. But you are directly saying that you should invest in dips from your additional savings. But no one can say when the perfect dip will come. So if the price of Bitcoin decreases further after investing a large amount, then you will have to regret it. And understanding or predicting  dip is not easy, it is impossible.

For me I think from time to time agressive Bitcoin acumulation should be activated because it helps us to reach our target faster than we expect, I don't think that agressive buying is tied to the dip alone, although some persons prefer to do the agressive buying then due to the fact that it will be in a lower price so it will enable them to buy more Bitcoin at a cheaper price then, youvarr right that investors should not make buying the dip the only option of buying Bitcoin, infact that might even be worst decision for any Bitcoin investor because such might even mark the end of their long-term plan if they act in that direction of traders, I have come to the conclusion that many of those who lay much emphasis in buying the dip buying may not actually be long term investors.

How we activate aggressive buying may be different, especially when we activate aggressive buying. Some wait until the price drops as predicted, while others do it whenever they think it is time without thinking about whether they will be able to get a better price or not.

There's nothing wrong with either way, as I think that's everyone's strategy. But if we are doing DCA, then be consistent with it. Because consistency is actually a difficult thing for some people. So we have to stay consistent with our DCA while once in a while making aggressive purchases that are of course adjusted to our abilities. I myself will usually activate aggressive buying when I feel it's time, so in other words I'm more flexible.

Accumulate Bitcoin in DCA method through discretionary income Regardless of the price consider it a long term investment. The market may be volatile at times and may increase in value at other times but the DCA method will keep the same pace. You have suggested to accumulate Bitcoin in DCA method aggressively, use the extra reserve funds you have to do so. Is there any possibility of sudden increase in your discretionary income during the decline in the price of Bitcoin? If so then you can do DCA aggressively and if there is no possibility of increase in discretionary income then accumulate Bitcoin usually and make buying Bitcoin in lump sum through reserve funds or extra fund. Accumulate Bitcoin regularly without looking for dips and target long term points such as 4-10 years or until your source of income is available.
