What's your most preferred Bitcoin investment strategy right now?

[Cryptomultiplier]

Recent cryptocurrency investors, especially new ones, might find that different strategies of investing do exist, and the best of whatever strategy employed determines the profit or loss one might incur. I came up on the term  'stacking Sats' and 'HODLing' which are investment strategies for those who don't fancy short term trading as a gain system. These strategies offer a way to further diversify an investment portfolio over a duration longer than what trading could offer.

1. Stacking Sats':
This is in short a nick name which in English term would refer to "accumulating Bitcoin". While 'sats' would mean Satoshi, as the smallest unit of Bitcoin, stacking would simply imply heaping or storing up.

With both words combined to give the synonym for dollar cost averaging Bitcoin, it suffices to say that this is purchasing small amounts of BTC on a regular basis over a duration one chooses.


2. HODL :
Hold on for dear life!
As of 2013, the term HODL first came on to the scene in a Bitcoin talk forum when a frustrated trader under the username GameKyuubi was letting his bottle of whiskey do the talking and posted the now infamous thread “I AM HODLING”.

The point of GameKyuubi’s post was to let the cryptocurrency world know that, despite the serious fall Bitcoin had just taken, they planned to still hold on to their BTC. What GameKyuubi didn’t know was this simple typo would soon become an iconic term used by crypto communities around the world. HODL started gaining traction in mainstream media and late-night television, in addition to being held responsible for the creation of countless memes.

3. Trading Bitcoin:
I included this as one investment strategy because one would have to have invested some funds in Bitcoin, before it could be used in whatever format one deems fit for the best profit taking at the time. One way besides the others aforementioned for short term gain is to be a merchant trader. However, gains or losses from trading may be affected by the market volatility.

*Are there other investment strategies you know or have explored to the best benefit?
*Which among the aforementioned strategies would fit your investment plan and why?

Let's discuss!

DCA is a good strategy when you are a long term investor and this strategy works best in bear market especially about one year since a start of bear market when bottom is mostly in and price is about -70% or -80% from all time high.

DCA in a bull run is more risky because you can DCA at mini top or around all time high but the biggest reason why you DCA is you believe that price will be much higher than a price you buy it after a few years. In addition, with DCA you will not have to feel uncertain what is bottom, when to buy, don't have to time in the market. It will help you to feel more easily to make decision without impact from market up or down and your emotion.

I disagree with hold on dear life because you must to sell your bitcoin at some time, to get your initial capital and to prevent that you will lose all including initial capital if anything which is super bad like a black swan event on bitcoin. Sell your bitcoin when its price is very high from your entry price that is enough for you to get your initial capital by just selling 10% or 30% of your bitcoin amount.

After you sell part of it and get your initial capital, you can say I am not a hodler and will hold on dear life my bitcoin. Nothing to lose after getting initial capital back.

2. HODL :
Hold on for dear life!
As of 2013, the term HODL first came on to the scene in a Bitcoin talk forum when a frustrated trader under the username GameKyuubi was letting his bottle of whiskey do the talking and posted the now infamous thread “I AM HODLING”.

What GameKyuubi didn’t know was this simple typo would soon become an iconic term used by crypto communities around the world. HODL started gaining traction in mainstream media and late-night television, in addition to being held responsible for the creation of countless memes.

The term has become popular and didn't know that this has a meaning and I guess just some other members made meaning out of it. Because it basically has no meaning at all and is just a misspelling for holding because gamekyuubi was drunk when he posted the thread.
Anyway, this is my preferred strategy. Not gonna need much things to do but just you wait for the moment when you're okay to start selling or wait some more and go through again a lot of thick and thin and bear markets as well.

The term has become popular and didn't know that this has a meaning and I guess just some other members made meaning out of it. Because it basically has no meaning at all and is just a misspelling for holding because gamekyuubi was drunk when he posted the thread.

People start with Bitcoin by thinking it can rise more and more, rise forever and make new all time high back-by-back. The reality is it won't happen and they will return to reality that they can not HODL hold on dear life with all capital spent in Bitcoin. They need cash to spend in real life and they can not HODL.

When reality becomes worse and painful, they must sale off their bitcoins and regret that they did believed in influencers who always say HODL!

Don't HODL if you don't have saving in cash to use and all your money is in bitcoin.

*Are there other investment strategies you know or have explored to the best benefit?
*Which among the aforementioned strategies would fit your investment plan and why?

Inflation is getting higher than last year which makes no more money to buy Bitcoin or another crypto because I must meet all basic needs in my life. But, it's not reducing me to invest, I find another way to do investment, which is to earn sat from a job signature campaign. Maybe it not much, but I try step to keep it in my cold wallet. I never touch it until now, I have plan to hold it until 2035 to pay for college my Son and Daughter.

Don't HODL if you don't have saving in cash to use and all your money is in bitcoin.

That's a painful reality that you've said and only a few survive that actually HODLs for their dear lives or managed to hold until the end.
The time will come when each of us has to sell our bitcoins for our needs whether it is a basic or an important matter. That's how it goes and we can say that no matter what we're thinking of holding for a long, the time is inevitable that we have to do it whether we like it or not.
Still, if you're enjoying the ride and you're happy of holding it, there's no need to be wary of your strategy that have been effective not just for a few people but probably millions of holders.

For investors, DCA is the main tool that has been proven and tested in several years of digital or cryptocurrency in this industry. The Bitcoin halving happened several times and everyone who made DCA in Bitcoin enjoyed saving and got a good return on it.

That's why this time, the average number of communities that are now doing Bitcoin savings or other altcoins has increased. Although there is a risk, most people still believe that the expected events will come true in the future that the value of bitcoin will really increase and other top altcoins will take care of kicking the value of bitcoin during the bitcoin halving or bull run.

[hugeblack]

There are many names, and the meaning is the same, so everything you are trying to say above is not strategy, but rather buying and keeping Bitcoin, whether it is for a short term (trading) or a long term (HODL or Stacking Sats)

The trading strategy is to determine what you will do to increase the bitcoins that you have, and not to determine the term at which you will sell them, although it is the virtual form of the trading strategy.

What makes it a successful strategy varies according to the user, money, experience and many details that differ from one member to another.

1. Stacking Sats':
This is in short a nick name which in English term would refer to "accumulating Bitcoin". While 'sats' would mean Satoshi, as the smallest unit of Bitcoin, stacking would simply imply heaping or storing up.

With both words combined to give the synonym for dollar cost averaging Bitcoin, it suffices to say that this is purchasing small amounts of BTC on a regular basis over a duration one chooses.

I think this is what they are calling "Dollar-Cost Averaging".
Well, accumulating Bitcoin overtime is for me the safest approach when it comes to investing in cryptocurrency. Buying at once can also be a good strategy, but the bad negative thing on that way is that, you might lose an opportunity if Bitcoin goes even lower in price, and you don't have money to buy it at a lower price.

Overall, stacking sats, or Dollar-Cost Average is kind of the same that you are stacking Satoshis. The only difference I guess is that... there's no difference on it.

2. HODL :
Hold on for dear life!
As of 2013, the term HODL first came on to the scene in a Bitcoin talk forum when a frustrated trader under the username GameKyuubi was letting his bottle of whiskey do the talking and posted the now infamous thread “I AM HODLING”.

The point of GameKyuubi’s post was to let the cryptocurrency world know that, despite the serious fall Bitcoin had just taken, they planned to still hold on to their BTC. What GameKyuubi didn’t know was this simple typo would soon become an iconic term used by crypto communities around the world. HODL started gaining traction in mainstream media and late-night television, in addition to being held responsible for the creation of countless memes.

Well, that term really became popular especially in this forum. This is why I love the forum. There are many things that happened only here, and will only happen here. That infamous HODL, some famous names like Satoshi, Hal etc. posted here, the person behind the infamous 10,000 Bitcoin pizza.

Anyway, I guess there's no need for an explanation with this one already because it's on the name already. On the other hand, I will not do this one because it's like "You will hold your Bitcoins until you die." which is not one of my plans. I still want to give my Bitcoins to some other people if my time comes, but anyway, I hope that people took "Holding on for dear life" phrase as "Holding long term".

3. Trading Bitcoin:
I included this as one investment strategy because one would have to have invested some funds in Bitcoin, before it could be used in whatever format one deems fit for the best profit taking at the time. One way besides the others aforementioned for short term gain is to be a merchant trader. However, gains or losses from trading may be affected by the market volatility.

This is where most of the profits are.
At the same time, this is where most investors are losing money.

The most riskiest way of the three. Trading Bitcoin is considered an investment because in order for an investor to trade, you must invest Bitcoin. Still, those expert traders are the ones who are gaining the most profit thru trading, and where they are getting those profits? From the investors who are losing on their trades.

[AicecreaME]

I'm not active as of now on trading so I would say I only buy low sell high Bitcoin from time to time. Most of my bitcoin are on HODL for a certain purpose, I'm still waiting for the next bull run and gonna buy something with the profits. I believe it depends on each people who have Bitcoin on what to do about it, but newbies prefer HODL I guess if I'm not mistaken because that's the easiest way to make profits in the long run if you do have a lot of patient as well.

I thought HODL stands for "hold on dear life" as you hold on your funds waiting for the right timing to have your calls. I don't used this method as you just wait for the high pump of the Bitcoin without guarantee when it will happens since its a volatile system. Plus in the term HODL, if you wait for profit and you'll need some money then it's not recommended. In the OP list mentioned above I'll stick into trading as you can control whenever to buy and sell for you to profit, of course its not that easy there's also the risk that your money get liquidated. Still its up to you whatever strategies suits for you, you don't have to follow anyone's capability as we have different skills and knowledge when it comes to crypto.

[Marvell1]

... but newbies prefer HODL I guess if I'm not mistaken because that's the easiest way to make profits in the long run if you do have a lot of patient as well.

I don't think newbies like HODL because newbies are people who don't have much experience but always want to make money quickly. Most newbies will start with trading, especially futures trading, because they think that just buying low and selling high will be profitable and won't take too long. But after having a bad experience in trading, they start thinking about holding for a long as it is less risky as well as better return.
To be honest, some people in my locality get rich with bitcoin, but mostly holding, I haven't seen anyone get rich through trading, so I'm also a long-term holder.

[Doan9269]

I have two major strategies that I've been using regarding my bitcoin saving lifestyle, i use DCA to buy bitcoin which is a little by little method of accumulating bitcoin and in addition, i do use the holding method on my investment to keep the coins for a while to serve as an asset that helps me have financial freedom over time with what i have, doing this doesn't mean that one can not partake in having experience with bitcoin price volatility, because this will alwa occur but we make more profitability when we hodl till bullrun is achieved.

[alastantiger]

HODL and DCA
When combined together they do wonders. And although whichever one is selected is dependent on the goal the individual has set for themselves.
As an individual whose goal is 1 bitcoin by 2024. I have adopted the DCA investment strategy. It helps me build consistency and my mind is always in the state of rest because I do not get to be worried about the market volatility, FUD and all of those other unforeseen circumstance. Now that the price of bitcoin is up, it still doesn't matter to me. So these two strategies are the top strategies on my list the others are secondary.

[Husires]

The answer to your question, What's your most preferred Bitcoin investment strategy right now, will vary depending on the money you have.

• Whoever has surplus money and does not want to use it now, HODL will be better for him instead of DCA because the value of bitcoin is variable and increasing, while the value of cash will decrease with time.
• Whoever has a few money that he strives to save, DCA is better for him, as he will buy every week for a fixed amount, and if he gets a financial surplus, he will not change this policy because an emergency situation may suddenly happen to him.
• Whoever has free time will try to trade or learn a skill that generates additional income for him.

Actually, I thought of it as if there's really no meaning on it but a misspelled word just as been said and posted by gamekyuubi. Anyway, that's not important if there's a meaning or none because it's just the same. There have been other terms that's been used every time we're on a bull run, IIRC on 2017 and backwards, you'll mostly hear and read people say about these two words.

DCA is the easiest way to get more exposure in the market especially if you have a limited budget.
I've been doing this since last year when the price are still cheaper, and right now I can say its all worth it. DCA is the best strategy to those who don't have much time to analyze and monitor the market, usually they are the one who have a long term goal and personally I will sell if the price reaches the level of $50k again. In DCA you should have your target, holding for longer time might not be ok as you may miss the opportunity to take profit since dumping are inevitable as well.

[Zaguru12]

It all depends one’s knowledge and financial situation. Trading will be looked at by those who possess the trading skills but a raw individual in the market will be taking a huge risk to trade. People who are eager to make lots of profits look also at trading.

The Holding method is actually the best and most secure strategy for someone with little knowledge of crypto. Those that see bitcoin in particular as a store of value just buy and leave their funds there, some for future profits and others to avoid the depreciation that affects the fiat.

DCA strategy is used by mainly salary or weekly income earners that wants to have their funds stack in bitcoin. This method is my most preferred because it doesn’t requires much knowledge like that of trading and when bitcoin is on downturn trend the risk is easily reduced than those holding. The DCA method is preferred by me because it kind of capitalizes on the loss ground gain by early adopters. With DCA I could accumulate more and also reduce risk of buying at higher price

When combined together they do wonders. And although whichever one is selected is dependent on the goal the individual has set for themselves.

Now that the price of bitcoin is up, it still doesn't matter to me. So these two strategies are the top strategies on my list the others are secondary.

The best thing would be to combine both DCA and HOLD strategies together and you should be good for both the short and long term. Seeing if the price starts correcting after hitting $30.5k, one should get ready to start doing DCA as it falls down further, and once it starts going up again, they should simply hold on to their nerves.

The price might not go too deep this time, some people are expecting it to go around $20k but I would say that is a lot to expect, it might go around $24k or something and even that would be a great price for people to buy more if they want.

[Nrcewker]

HODL can be considered the best task when you have good amount of Bitcoins in your wallet. But to be honest I don’t consider this as an strategy. Rather for a middle class man, this is just a pure and safe analysis. Holding the Bitcoins for a long period of time is the only method that is safe, and slow in generating the profits. We also know that Bitcoins are limited in number and the demand to accumulate the coin is increasing among the masses, so if you hold the coin for a longer period of time, then in future when the price will be high, we can sell the coins in high price and can generate high profit from it.
