The two ways to invest in bitcoins.

[Gallar]

There are only two ways to invest in bitcoins from some topics I have read in this forum, to buy a big amount of bitcoins once and to buy small amounts regularly according to a plan.

Indeed, when you want to invest in bitcoin, the methods you mentioned are often used by bitcoin investors. Because these methods are some of the basic techniques used in purchasing bitcoins, so that they are more efficient when they want to set prices and can get bigger profits. But that's only part of the technique, there are still a number of other techniques, which can be used when you want to invest in bitcoin. So if you call it only two ways, in my opinion your opinion is not quite right. More precisely, you can call it one of the buying techniques when you want to invest in bitcoin.

And you don't forget about the analysis that must be mature every time you make a bitcoin purchase. Because even though you use the technique or method that you described, you don't use good analytical techniques. Still the result will be less effective. Because analyzing the market is one of the most effective ways to make us profit by investing in bitcoin.

Buying big - Although this is generally not advised, I think buying big can be good if you can afford to buy big and then follow up with adding small amounts to what you have. Buying big will help you get a good amount of bitcoins quickly.

Why do you thing buying big is generally not advised? If you are having enough money and you have done your research and you believe that’s the best time to buy, you can just buy at once and leave it in your wallet, actually I will recommend this for people that are planning to hold the bitcoin for long time, you don’t have to start studying the market just because of $1 or $2 difference, the only people that should be studying the market frequently are the day trader’s, but if you are holding for long time, just do your analysis and know when to buy.

Buying small occasionally, otherwise known by the name of dollar cost averaging - This is method that is advised for people who are not rich, and who do not have enough money to buy big. I think if you have enough money to buy big and follow up with buying small amounts, but you just decide to buy small amounts regularly, you are not doing the best for yourself. 

Buying small occasionally is not a bad idea, maybe you are the type that’s been paid daily, weekly or monthly, you can be removing from part of your salary and buying bitcoin with it, no amount is too small to invest in bitcoin and no amount is too big to invest in bitcoin, but invest any amount you can afford to lose and don’t invest any amount that will hurt you after investing.

Saying there’s only two way on buying Bitcoin is wrong because there’s a lot of possible combinations and irregular patterns to do it. Also this is not ways on buying Bitcoin but rather a measurement on when to buy Bitcoin.

Whatever the way(s) we used, the most important is that we are investing in Bitcoin.
We bought Bitcoin depending on our capability and the said limitation. We come into this kind of investment hoping that one day this will give us a better future. Like what I did, I accumulate little by little, DCA is what I mean. I have no plan of reaching out to 1BTC nor do I hold long-term because what I plan is to just sell them when the price is high enough to give me some profit.

Actually there are many ways to buy Bitcoin and invest in it, but the most common and popular people use is to do it by DCA, and maybe some of them do it by buying one time and this method I think is more aimed at those who are big investors , but basically it's almost the same only in different quantities. but I think those who are big investors will still do DCA but in relatively high or moderate quantities.

The dollar cost averaging method still remains my best way to accumulate Bitcoin. It is my way of buying small. However, during the bear market, I buy in large quantities. I think this is just automatic for every bitcoiners. That is, we buy more during the bear market and DCA during the bull market. It is like adapting to fit the market.

[Bitcoin_people]

Investing with knowledge will never lead to loss and there is no way around it. If you can analyze or analyze the market well then you don't need to know any way. If you understand the market well, you will definitely have a chance to make a profit in your investment. And it is natural that when the bitcoin market goes down, investing in bitcoins can certainly be profitable in the future. But you can't invest when the market is moving up. So you have to keep in mind that you invest when the market goes down and sell when it goes up.

[Cryptomultiplier]

I love the idea of buying big at first then investing smaller fractions subsequently. It is reassuring to know how the outcome of an investment would be without too much noise. The dollar cost averaging or DCA as fondly called, is one sure way to keep up the discipline of saving if one has so much bill on the budget to fulfil. There's no time to pretend all is well, when it isn't actually.
Hence, why I am a fan of the DCA despite whatever opinions you hold dear.

for investors and people who have the potential to become investors, this method is the most recommended (buying bitcoins regularly with the DCA method), because you can manage your expenses properly and stably, besides that no one knows what will happen in the future In the future, when you have an urgent problem, you will not rush to sell the bitcoins that you have.

the best way to secure the future is with good financial cash flow management.

There are not only those two kind of bitcoin or crypto currency buying strategy. based on the source i have read, at least there are ten kind of strategy to buy bitcoin or crypto currency.  But i will focus on what we have discussed i.e buying big and dollar cost averaging. 
I prefer to use dollar cost averaging because it is more controllable. This reason also caused my buying ability is not too high. Buying small strategy gives me perfect entry and exit point to keep struggling in a crypto market.

How do you DCA in the bull market? Do you mean that you keep buying even when the price is going up? I think it's better if someone only does DCA when the price is dropping so that they can accumulate more at lower prices to get a better average price for all the Bitcoins they've accumulated throughout the time when the price was dropping.

That way, when the price starts going up, they can see their portfolio growing and they won't need to buy when the price is going up since they've already filled their bag when the price was right and they've almost bought at all intervals where the price will now go through.

We are still in a bear market and that's why it's a good time to accumulate some Bitcoin, it's a shame that people are too greedy that's why they take the meme coin route instead of supporting good projects like Bitcoin, there are other ways to accumulate Bitcoin like

1. Working online jobs and getting paid in Bitcoin.
2. Buying a Bitcoin miner and starting to get Bitcoin mined into your wallet every day, some Bitcoin OG's started their Bitcoin journey this way and it's also a good way to stay away from using any Centralized exchanges.
3. DCA is a good one too but you don't have to fix a time and date for continuous buying of Bitcoin, just buy when you can afford it, to me this is still a DCA technic.

You can buy bitcoin either in large volumes of small volume,it is all about how much you can afford to buy at that market price. If you are rich,you can buy whenever you want to accumulate more bitcoin to your investment either in the bull run or bear run as long as you will definitely make profit. It is only someone with a fixed income that has a problem of buying when the price is high and that will also affect the quantity of bitcoin he/she can pay for. It is only traders that must stick to the trading rules that says buy when the price is low and sell when the price is high,in other for them to make profit because trading is done on daily basis. DCA is the best method,if you can afford it and if you can't you can buy whenever you can either in small volume or in large volume.

I prefer to buy bitcoins regularly in many corrections to provide an opportunity to collect more bitcoins. But I guess some people decide to buy bitcoins in one buy. This depends on each person's plan because we have different ways of using money and need to adapt to existing conditions.

We cannot follow other people's plans because of our limitations, so we need to have our own plans that are definitely different from others. If you have limited money to buy bitcoins at once, you can use the DCA method or buy regularly.

That will give you the flexibility to buy bitcoins at your desired price. You can also find out when you can buy bitcoins and when to hold your bitcoins.

[Jawhead999]

You're wrong for saying buying big for one time is good if you can afford to lose and DCA is only for not rich people.

Either you buying big or small, you need to afford to lose because investing always carry a risk and that's will depends on your decision.

DCA is only to make you being consistent to invest Bitcoin, either you rich or poor, both of them can use DCA strategy, the difference is the amount of each buy.

I think there's no problem if you buying big for one time or DCA-ing, as long as you can hold at least 4 years, there's high likely you will not lose.

Buying big - Although this is generally not advised, I think buying big can be good if you can afford to buy big and then follow up with adding small amounts to what you have. Buying big will help you get a good amount of bitcoins quickly.

I will recommend this method only when you feel that bitcoin is near its all time low, then this might be a good idea to invest in bitcoin once with a big amount. For example, when bitcoin was near 16K-17K, you could have invested all of your money in bitcoin at that moment.

Buying small occasionally, otherwise known by the name of dollar cost averaging - This is method that is advised for people who are not rich, and who do not have enough money to buy big. I think if you have enough money to buy big and follow up with buying small amounts, but you just decide to buy small amounts regularly, you are not doing the best for yourself. 

Dollar cost average is the best method to invest in bitcoin. In this way, even if you bought some bitcoins at a high price, you keep on buying at lower prices too, and hence your average buying price becomes good one and you can really take profits in the next market cycle.
Also, in my above example of buying everything at 16K, may seem good now but at that moment we did not know that it was the ultimate bottom. So even doing DCA at lower prices near all time low is good because no one knows the exact bottom.

I may agree with you in one way and that should be when if someone is newbie and doesn't have good knowledge about the best time to buy Bitcoin especially during the bear market period.it is not be advisable to buy at once with big amount of money. I may say DCA will the best method to be using to accumulate Bitcoin, but when someone have good knowledge and good capital of investment and he/she believes it knows the right time to accumulate Bitcoin, it can buy once with huge amounts.

In my opinion, gradually accumulating bitcoin will be extremely beneficial in reducing risk in the cryptocurrency market.Sofar nobody can predicted the exact range in which the price of bitcoin would rise during a bull run or fall to during a bear market time,with that can i say that DCA will actually assist us to minimize the risk.

How's this not advisable? If you have the money and don't want to stay updated with the market and also have very long term plans for your investment, you don't have to follow the DCA rule. You can just buy and lock them away in your private wallet. Let say I want to buy Bitcoin and hold for 10 years or more, you don't expect me to DCA when I'm a very busy man. I'll just buy as much as I can buy now that the price is very low and hold as both  DCA and buying with one purchase is all okay provided you understand the risk of both strategy.

DCA could make you miss buying Bitcoin when the price is very low, let assume bitcoin never goes below $30k again, it means you would had missed the chance of getting bitcoin this low while purchasing one time would be giving you the advantage of having more unit due to the low price. The reverse is the case if the price falls further than it is, in this scenario the users buying through DCA is at more advantage than anyone who purchased Bitcoin one time. Both strategy have their advantages and disadvantages.

The best way to buy bitcoins is when you decided to forsake your bad habits and turn them into bitcoins, there will be no other good choice than that. imagine, instead of buying packs of cigarettes and alcohol, you will gonna spend that money on buying bitcoins until you no longer want to have those habits what's really good about that is you are keeping your money safe and have a higher chance to increase its amount up to decent percentage and sometimes it increases up to the point you never think of it especially when bitcoin's price reaches new ATH.

Buying bitcoin for investment is determination and personal choice, I believe that bitcoin investment is something you have decided to take the risk or take anything come as result of the investment, converting your unnecessary expenses to bitcoin investment is one of the main things that someone should have done, especially people who spend unnecessary and they are not accountable to their expenses

[DiMarxist]

Bitcoin investments is personal race and choice, bitcoin investment is what you can lose and gain. Invest what you can afford to lose, or takes the risk that involves in bitcoin investment, buy bitcoin or investing in bitcoin is a person's choice, if you want to buy bitcoin and holding in long-term or invest in short-term, and if you don't want to invest in short-term investments you hold it to your satisfaction and sell it, but when someone have good knowledge and good capital to investment, the person can invest in huge amount of money, but invest any amount you can afford to lose and don’t invest any amount that will hurt you after investing.

People of all income levels are free to decide how much bitcoin to buy at any particular time. I don't think it's necessary to tell someone how much bitcoin they should buy since they have to decide for themselves whether or not to take a chance. We are unable to influence anyone to buy bitcoin.  Or tell them how much they should spend—they are the ones who make the decision.

No mate, you can't say whether someone has enough money to purchase a big amount of bitcoin and he didn't is not the proper thing since you didn't know the type of expenses he cover such family difficulties and other essential needs for his home. He may only have one source of income that he splits with his family, so if caution isn't taken when making a large purchase, he can find up having to sell the bitcoin for a profit or even losing some of his money.
