Is risky to invest this period

[blockman]

don't be a human being who is afraid to take risks because won't change our future.

Yes, it won't change our future but I do understand that there are people who are not fit into investing and that's why they're afraid. And there are people that have got out into their comfort zone to test new things and that's why they're learning how to invest and take the risks of it eventually. Until they're used to it and understand that there's a need for one to take it if he wants to step up his way of living because the richest people in the world were all investors after all. They've taken risks that no one has taken and they've seen the opportunity there and within this market, on its earliest days, many were too afraid to try it out but those who have been brave enough to take the challenge even during that time was full of uncertainties. Those who have bought early bitcoin and still holding it because they believe, they've taken the risk and that's no easy challenge when the world is like full of doubters about it and few believers were only there during that time.

Investing in cryptocurrencies or Bitcoin is always risky ‍and by taking this risk that an investor achieves success in investing. Current condition is a good time to invest in Bitcoin. Where the price is $28000 and judging by the analysis, this is the maximum dip where an investor can fully trust. I believe those who can take this risk can find success with Bitcoin in a short period of time.

From the look of things bitcoin price will not come up soon, I guess is better to hold on till when it will show strong signal before putting in money again to escape losses and people who their investment is long over due are already victims of the Price dropping. We should try to be careful this period that bitcoin has not direction. Imagine a friend investment $2000 but what is currently left in his wallet is $400, and the deep is still bearing down the nuds.

Hold on, but if you must buy now be wise to use spare income.

Some speculations of Bitcoin don't come to real, Bitcoin price can come up any time any day, their is no stipulated time that ensure or indicate that the price will surely get increase. So the price of Bitcoin is full of individual speculations and it make some people to be confused of the price. From my perspective or understanding towards Bitcoin i believe that Bitcoin will increase any day with the awareness of the speculators except they are using chart to read when it will fall and when it will rise, which i believe that with chart  they can't get the accuracy.

in managing finances to invest in bitcoin, we have to be careful with implementing the strategy that we are good at, of course in investing we don't know where the market will go after, and I think it's still good to place purchases, of course in a gradual way, so we can buy it back when the price goes down, but if it continues to go up, we have at least part of it. but if you are afraid to buy now, don't make a purchase when fomo occurs

[gaston castano]

I think you can buy little by little from now on, bitcoin has risen quite high from its lowest level last December at 15600 $ now it is stable in the 25000-28000 range, if the market is improving bitcoin will slowly rise, and altcoins will also follow , but there is still a possibility that the market will fall again, so be wise in managing your money.

...understand one thing: bitcoin has a future, and while you are crying, people are gaining knowledge.

What you said there is just the honest truth. Anyone badmouthing Bitcoin at a time like this, knowing we're in a pre-halving year doesn't truly understand how it works. If anything, now is the very right time to buy and store up for the imminent bull run that will take place. We're looking at 2024 and then 2025 to produce a new ATH that speculatively go above $120k. That's my speculation, anyway.

I believe the bottom line is you guys are looking at Bitcoin investment wrongly. The price is just about where Bitcoin topped its price for that Day 17th March 2023 when you made this post. I want to believe you must have said the same thing when Bitcoin dropped to $15k+ thinking the price was too high and would probably want to wait until it shows a strong signal and moving from $15k to $27k isn't a strong signal 

As for your friend that invested $2k, even though his portfolio is reading $400 does not mean he has lost money as long as he will continue to HODL till the market reverse which I believe he should do.

What happens if someone invests their money in bitcoin at the beginning of this year? I think at this point he has the advantage. Besides, if you invest when the price is on the rise, aren't you too late for that?
However, if someone invests $2000 and it becomes $400, then it is a risky investment. we all know that investing in crypto is a very risky thing. However, investing in crypto can also make the money you have more.
We don't know about bitcoin price movements because the price is very volatile. however, if you want to invest, then start now, and use money that you are willing to lose. investing little by little is more recommended than investing in large amounts at once. that way we can control the profit or loss. However, if you never start and keep waiting, you will miss the moment to invest. however, in the end, we all have different views and strategies.

[Gladitorcomeback]

Think before you make a decision of buying and selling. I know that these days market is not stable and we cannot predict about its price but your friend do a mistake that he does not wait further to get rid of loss.

If your friend make investment 10 days before then he will have huge income these days as the price enhances from 22k$ and now its approximately 28k$ so if he didn't make a quick decision then this time will be better for him. But I think he has forget about the reality that after each down in price there is a good enhancement in worth of bitcoin as we can get knowledge from previous year where a price was so dip but as this recent year started so bitcoin price become more higher than that worth.

I will suggest that if a person is afraid of losing money due to bear market then he should make investment for longer time so in this case he will be aware of everything related to investment and also he will have no worries about losses whenever the price goes up he should sell and get the profit.

There is risk investing anytime in bitcoins, It s hard to imagine a time when the movement of bitcoins will be purely predictable and it's direction of movement clear, it is all a risk. And only those who are willing to bear the risk will suffer the losses and also enjoy the rewards. It is why we are always told to invest in bitcoins in small small amounts regularly than huge amount at once if we are very afraid of the risk the market brings.

Hold on, but if you must buy now be wise to use spare income.

Use spare income or money you have budgeted for(an amount you can loose) to invest in bitcoins every time. The strategy of buying bitcoin in small amounts is not only useful when things look bad in the market but also when things are going good in the market.

I hope that you will not regret if you're the one who is waiting still for the price of Bitcoin to go down.

You use the word "will" meaning you're certain that the price of Bitcoin will not come up soon? Did you predict it? Did you use some crystal ball to predict the future with 100% accuracy? Using the word "will" and "might" will change the meaning of your first sentence. You think you're sure that price of Bitcoin will not come up soon? Well, you might be true that prices of Bitcoin will not come up soon because it might experience some selling pressure in the future thus, putting the price of Bitcoin to go lower, but at the same time, we might see Bitcoin going up to as high as $30,000. Many are bullish right now with what's happening with crypto, and TBH it might continue for the rest of the year, and it will be the start of the bull run.

Buying Bitcoin also depends on the time you're willing to hold it. If you want to buy Bitcoin and hold for at least 5 years, then I guess it's still a good thing to buy until now. On the other hand, I also suggests that we must wait for Bitcoin to go down a little bit before buying to maximize the profit (if it goes down ).

the only thing i can imagine about this friend is the fact that he keeps looking at his investment as if it is an instant cash profit.

i do get the point that anyone would be worried looking at his assets going down, but if it's the only thing you'll only think of then you shouldn't have invested in the first place. we are already thought and i'm sure you already heard of this line "risk the amount you are comfortable losing", same as gambling but without literally playing your money. that's the difference in gambling/trading and investing, but you still shouldn't forget that you are still risking.

[bayudndy]

Investing in bitcoin at this stage is risky, depending on how much risk you can accept. If you want to invest in bitcoin, make sure you research and understand it, have a specific investment plan, and don't overinvest. If you have a spare income and want to invest in bitcoin, make sure that you have given it careful consideration and do not invest too much money.
I find that risks or opportunities from the market always appear no matter how the market moves, and the thing everyone should pay attention to is dyor.

[Wildwest]

Currently the price of Bitcoin has begun to increase slightly since there was a decline last year, and to invest may need consideration because the increase that is happening now will not fully continue to last because the movement is not fully stable, so it's good to see first the development of the market if it can survive then it never hurts to invest because the end point of the current crypto value has not been reached and we still have great hope for getting finance  in investing.

[bluebit25]

I think the OP is just looking at the short-term trend and in fact, if you have observed and invested in this market for many years, the risks and opportunities of this market will not be assessed like that.
I myself have been buying BTC since I found out about it at only a few hundred dollars, even when there are bursts of profits I always spend some of my earnings to reinvest in real life and earn capital to return to this market investment. So I see that if it's only short-term to not fail in this market, everyone will fail in life outside of the market as well. Research, evaluation and analysis help us to have many different options to limit unnecessary risks, so for me crypto is a great and very safe opportunity after many years that I have been involved in companion.

[S3300]

There is no better time to buy BTC and other alts than now, what do you expect? 10k Bitcoin like many others? I doubt you will still buy if such happens, before you know what's happening Bitcoin value would have been long gone, Buy and hold for long tern instead.

[Joshapat]

There is no guarantee that investment will be profitable or safe, there are always things we don't want, for example loss or bankruptcy, as long as we have a plan for profit, we must be realistic that opportunities for loss are always open.

[Queentoshi]

All crypto seasons are risky, so if you don't wanna take it then don't invest at all. If you ask me if I take a risk, yes I and almost all bitcoin holders know the risks.
Elsewhere you suggest bitcoin as a means of payment. do you occasionally forget about the risk of volatility or how it is handled? Imagine yesterday a friend with 0.0001BTC wanted to buy chicken meat today, but instead he only got an egg.

Sometimes I think if there is a right time to invest crypto, because I see it like everything around cryptocurrency involves risk, before one invest in crypto he or she should be a risk taker, because if one can't take risk then that person is not ready to invest. So to me there is no particular period to invest.   Just invest what you can lose, my friend wanted to take a loan to invest in crypto and I have to talk her out of it, because I know is wrong to invest in crypto that way.

Bitcoin investment is good for long term.  We might get profit for a short period of time but it is nothing compared to long-term investment plan.  Since Bitcoin is cyclical and the current market situation is favorable for DCA or buying Bitcoin, then I believe, it is less risky to invest now than waiting for the market price to surge before buying. 

If ever you have plan, just make sure that you set your investment to long term and make a target of selling it either on the year after the halving or more. because Bitcoin price tends to skyrocket a year after the halving event.

People tend to ignore the fact that they can buy Bitcoin in portions and with any amount that they can afford to spend on it. And they also ignore the fact that the price of Bitcoin will eventually be higher than where it is today one day in the future for sure. So even if it drops back, it will at least go higher than where it is right now for once even if it doesn't stay up for very long.

So it's probably the best decision to do DCA whenever you feel that the price is good for buying more. Remember, you are never late if you are investing in Bitcoin, as it has the ability to surprise you in the future.

[abralzain17]

what if you invest in Bitcoin, do you still feel risky?
I think only investing in altcoins that don't have a great future and other cryptos that don't have a clear roadmap would be very risky. but if your investment is only in Bitcoin then it will not put you at risk
