Make your plans and follow it, the year has started running already

[Gozie51]

Today is the 10th day of January of the much awaited 2022, haha. It has started running already.

I may be correct to say some people made resolutions to stop certain things they have been doing in the past like some habits that they have tried hard to change while some have made plans to do new things or do things they have done in the past a little bit different now, that is to do things in a new way.

Alright my concern really is on the financial aspect. There are people who are waiting for this year to show face because they had resolved to start investing in cryptocurrency or to increase the level of their investment. This is to remind us about those determination that burnt in your heart during the tail on of last year, you couldn't wait for this year to appear and fortunately for you and all of us, the year is gloriously in our faces. So what are you doing already ?

Advise: Don't go on with the procrastination of last year and the years that have past. The time is now. It is time to work for that goal you resolved to achieve, those coins you wanted to buy and the ones you want to DYOR.

Don't sweep those plans of yours under the carpet. Get fired up to achieve this year. I wish all the best out of this year

Apparently, I created just a similar thread New Year Plans and Resolution (HNY-2022) in the politics and society board to commence and mark the new year. In the.es like this, most persons fails to understand how time flies. The year always comes with the impression that, you've got a whole lot, a whole 365 days ahead of you and so there is always time to meet up on your goals, to plan the rest of the months, etc. Well guess what, its no longer 365 days, its 355 days now and in few hours, it would be 354 days left to work out on your aims/objectives or goals.

For sure it's never too late to start on your goals but, how easy you start and good too, determines how much you could archive. It's the way it is and so, you e got to be up and going already. Not just about making the plans but, already reaping off it. Time waits for no man so, make the most of it while you have it.

My advice is to automate whatever strategy you decide.

Just set an auto withdrawal from your bank for example, or whatever you need to do, but make it automatic.

That's the best way to actually keep doing something, when you don't have to check every time.

Bonus points if you find an exchange that allows you to auto DCA and auto withdraw into your own wallet. That way you don't even have to think about it and you'll be stacking sats.

The important part of this is that you are then free to live your life in a more interesting way, able to generate more value, etc. And you're never going to forget to DCA.

You can always top up manually as well whenever you want.

Do not forget to take profits. Still, there are a lot of folks that didn't take profits during the last ATH. And for this year, if ever we're fortunate to see another ATH, do not forget to take it!
It's not just all about investments and holding but also why we're holding and investing and, that's to make money and taking any profit is essential unless you plan to hold long term.

Yes, the spirit is certain, even though we don't know what will happen in the future, as you said hope is always there, the important thing is the effort.

We are all aware, the previous year maybe we failed in doing something for ourselves especially the crypto part, I didn't expect much this year, only the decisive circumstances and developments of the crypto market in 2022, can change my destiny.

Maybe you're right, I have to reopen the notes under my carpet, who knows there are valuable notes still stored that haven't been swept away.

I think the automation is good because you don't let your emotions affect your decisions if everything is automated. And you just execute your plan.

Theoretically, we make bad decisions if we are emotional involved. If we are overinvested and we panic in a crash, we tend to sell in the lows instead of buy, for example.

If we just make a plan and execute that plan straight, it usually performs better than having no plan.

In my personal finance I have very clear goals and strategies. I have very few assets (Bonds, ETF and Bitcoin, mostly) and I try not to buy other things. I rebalance my portfolio from time to time, and I buy just the same assets. Pretty much automated, and trying not get emotional affected buy highs and lows.

I expect this year will be financially bad so I always wanted to keep my capital safe than going for a risk to make more money, probably a good time for long term investment so I decided to invest a decent amount in real estate, Gold and Bitcoin as well with the hope of reaping profits in the next 5 years or later.

[pakhitheboss]

The current market conditions has been offering almost all coins at a heavy discounted price. In my opinion it is the right time to enter the market also it is the best time to accumulate more. If someone has entered the market when Bitcoin was at 50k then now is the right time to repurchase again and hodl.

Get a life outside of cryptocurrency! Yes, I understand that we're all hustlin' in here to better ourselves, especially in terms of the financial aspect of our lives, but we should also remember to include a routine to make up a healthy body in our plans.

I mean, because most people here are speculating on their crypto investments and such, it's very easy for them to put eating, drinking, and rest at the bottom of their daily routine list, which can lead to poor decisions due to mental and physical fatigue. The daily stress that comes with crypto is literally one of the worst things you can do to your body.

I'm not saying money isn't important; it's just that you should be able to make money in a way that makes you happy without negatively impacting your health.

[Darker45]

In terms of what's needed to be changed, what's needed to be improved, starting a new approach, and so on, one doesn't have to wait for a new year, a birthday, and otherwise. In other words, one doesn't have to look at the calendar.

Time in that respect is unnecessary. That particular sense of time is merely a human construct. It is all in the mind. It doesn't have anything to do with a person's success or failure. What matters is his/her resolve, determination, focus, and so on.

If you want to get into Bitcoin, do your research right away, study, and decide. Anytime! Don't wait for a year to do that.

[CryptoYar]

2022 started with some very good opportunities we got the dip and we could buy BTC and many other coins at discounted price. I still don't understand why people become a victim of fear. when bitcoin price goes up they say I wish I had bought BTCs. and if bitcoin price drops then they dont buy

So my advice for this year is to always keep your heart strong and whenever you get bitcoin/or your favorite coins at discounted price buy them and HODL

[hugeblack]

Sometimes it is better to wait and do one transaction than to repeat the same small trades.

If you buy a large amount of BTC when price crash by (more than 60%) and keep it for several years, it is better than buying a fixed amount of equal value for the same period (DCA)
In investing, sometimes it is illogical to be a good thing, but always the lack of knowledge, experience and learning makes you lose faster.

Therefore, your biggest investment should be in knowledge and learning new ways to invest.
Then comes learning from mistakes, determination and perseverance to achieve a goal.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Apparently not all have their conviction ready to top their obvious mistakes. If the topic is all about crypto such as trading, investing, gaming and all other means to earn here. There would be always outside the norm or open door for mistakes. But that's pretty normal and tolerable, as werent perfect. I can see more opportunity on some errors by learning within those experience.

This happens a lot!
There is the FEAR that the price will go lower, its short term thinking.


My plans for this year are to spend less on rubbish like convenience foods and drinks,
and generally consume less in order to spend those savings on Bitcoin and continue
to look to the future rather than the here and now.

[Rengga Jati]

I learn several things during 2021. And I have some mistakes that I must take as self-experiences and lessons not to do the similar mistakes again.
Yeah, they are:
I am still too greedy.
I felt bad at the end of the year that I am too greedy for some coins that I really expect high expectations to rise up again and again. But in fact, the price keeps dropping and I lost my chance to take profits. I am doing this not because I want to hold them for the long term, but to get higher profits.
I always tried to suggest to others not to be greedy, but I think that I also made that kind of mistake, still being too greedy sometimes.

That is why, I should really care again about my plans on my portfolio, to check and recheck again my fund and risk management in order to evaluate what to do and not to do.
Having similar mistakes several times is very bad and regret will be always around here.
However, as you say, let's not think so hard about what has happened and the plans and life that must go on.
Just evaluate, analyze, and do better emotion and strategy this year so that I don't make any mistakes again.

This is sometimes forgotten to do because it thinks the price of crypto will go up continuously and happy to see porto rise but forget to change it to fiat where this becomes a frequently used to transact in everyday.

No need to wait for the year to change it would be better to always evaluate all the actions we do including in the crypto world if we feel it is wrong don't hesitate  change it quickly and continue to learn so that it becomes better.

Definition of Stupidity - doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
(no offense intended)

TBH almost all crypto apart from Bitcoin ^{and Ethereum ??} is a risk.
one of the moves I did a few years ago was to convert all the $hitcoins I had back into
Bitcoin and I havent looked back other than to see those $hitcoins now are nowhere.

A good place to start this new year is indeed at a crypto portfolio and streamline it to be
only or predominantly Bitcoin.

[Masplanc]

The problem of some is how to start due to low funds. They forget to know that starting cryptocurrency investment with small amounts is not bad, they think starting with big amount is one of the way to start well.

[TheNineClub]

I have to second that. I got a chance to do something I have been waiting for, for years, and if that means less making money with crypto then I am fine with that. But sometimes people get paralysis by analysis in the sense that they think too many things are of the same priority. So what I would advise is to prioritize your plans and then continue acordingly. Because if you try to do too many things at once, it won't turn out the way it is supposed to. The same can be applied to crypto investing as a whole.

Bitcoin DCA: https://dcabtc.com/
We can DCA with Bitcoin on the market but we can averagely and gradually learn and increase our knowledge. I think we can call it as knowledge accumulation that is a little bit similar to Bitcoin DCA. Knowledge is valuable so we can not estimate its price then can not DCA it. But the way we learn, the time we have to spend for it, in order to get enough knowledge and accumulate more knowledge with time, make it as same as DCA in investment.

Therefore, your biggest investment should be in knowledge and learning new ways to invest.

Moreover the best way to invest in knowledge is learning regularly, daily. If people learn 16 hour in one day, it does not make any big change but if people learn 4 or 6 hours each day and keep learning in 6 months or 1 year, big achievement will be gotten.
