The two ways to invest in bitcoins.

[Stepstowealth]

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.

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.

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.

There’s a lot of way to purchased Bitcoin and you only mention the popular which is the DCA. You can buy anytime that you want big or small simultaneously at different price level or in random pattern depends on your current financial capabilities. The method of buying Bitcoin is not bound on any rules or method since anyone can freely accumulate whenever and whatever they want because Bitcoin gives us financial freedom to control our investment.

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.

The dollar cost averaging is actually advised just to reduce the risk of losing and also having to wait till the price gets down to a certain amount. Which might either not come through or might take longer time to come. But is not entirely bad to buy big at a time if one has the money to buy at that time. For example any price currently below the 20k and closer to 15k is my personal support level that bitcoin could fall low to currently. So any amount one has he could just buy at that time.

Having a certain planned amount to been used for bitcoin investment should be invested into it straight away although DCA is better but the longer it stays in fiat the more I feel it is not save from any inflation risk that could come. But this isn’t an advice not to have some funds on fiat though

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.

It depends on the market. If the market price of bitcoin has decreased very significantly, you can buy high amount of bitcoin at once.

Let me give you an example. Assuming the price of bitcoin fall back to $20000, someone can decide to buy big and it will only lead to happiness when the price of bitcoin increase.

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. 

What is advised is to buy bitcoin, if you like you can buy small or big, depending on your pocket. If you are collecting $500 weekly, you are saving and also using money for other things and only $100 that remains, you can be using $50 or more to buy bitcoin weekly. Sometimes, buying weekly is just because you do not have much to invest or when you are not sure of where the market is going.

more and more investors are currently using DCA for their investments which can gradually grow. but this method will be quite draining of patience, because most investment planning is done for the long term. and I'm a little skeptical of newbies coming to invest long term. more of them explored several methods. and how to invest. but they won't do it long term.
the most important thing is to take advantage of the opportunity to get as much profit as possible. every time there is an opportunity to buy, then we can do it.

Your Bitcoin investment pattern depends on your capital and your source of income if you have enough money kept aside for the investment, If you have enough capital then it is good to buy your Bitcoin once since the price is reasonable even though no price is too high for Bitcoin investment.

The DCA method of buying is helpful, especially for people that want to be investing some portion of their salaries in Bitcoin, and for people that don't have a constant source of income.

But what about the "buying medium" option? This is when you buy not so rarely to "Buying small" and not so often to "Buying big".

Dear OP, there is no need to drive yourself into any framework and restrictions. Buy bitcoin as you wish, if you have the opportunity to do so, faith in the profitability of BTC and the willingness to invest in a risky asset.

There is another amazing (one of many others) option: invest in btc without buying it. Can you guess or should I give you a hint?

In my opinion, we should not be too rigid and follow only one strategy. I mean, depending on the situation, we use different strategies, not necessarily buying once or always using the dollar cost average. For example, when bitcoin fell to $15k last year, that was too low a drop, we should buy a large amount instead of still using DCA with only 10% or 30% capital.

By the way, there may be some risk as there is still a chance that bitcoin will continue to fall, but if calculated carefully, the profit will be much larger than DCA. I also bought a bulk for $17 last year, and I missed under $16k, but the difference for me was negligible.

Well, buy big when the price is low is a good idea that helped Many people to become successful in their investment, but if you don't have the money to buy big at the moment you can buy small and hold for the price of BTC to increase higher before you can release them for sale. Don't forget to use the money you can  afford to lose because, BTC price is unpredictable which the price can increase higher at anytime for people to experience bull season, and it can also decrease down at anytime for people to experience bear in the market. Don't forget that the two ways to invest in BTC you mentioned has risk, so they should be ready to face the risk to enable them to earn well in future.

It is not the only way, but there are several ways, where you can provide services or employment or provide an activity that accepts payment in Bitcoin or services and many other ways.

Investment is not when buying, but rather when selling. Therefore, the method of buying does not affect your investment, but rather how to sell and invest.

[Zilon]

Buying big or small still falls back to how much you can afford. Investing an amount one can afford to lose has also remained the gospel. As far as Bitcoin and crypto currency investment is concerned the market cannot be 100% predicted. Which ever amount one's category falls under be it big capital investment or small capital it should be within the amount that can be affordable to lose by such person.

Never forget Bitcoin is not a get rich scheme asset. If one must be a millionaire by holding bitcoin the should be willing to invest in billions as the market structure stands at the moment we use money to get back money and the bigger the risk the bigger the reward and also the bigger the loss.

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.

Dollar cost averaging is not used by people who are not rich or don't have enough money, it's used by those who do not want to time their entry into the market and choose to just buy at regular intervals. Microstrategy buys Bitcoin regularly, thousands of dollars worth of it at different times; which is a form of DCA but not done with small amounts.

• Matt could DCA with $100,000 worth of bitcoin every month, while
• Bob buys $50 worth of Bitcoin monthly.

These are different levels of investors but every one of them could DCA.

Isn't this just the same? You are just buying it and just with different volume. That's not really "two" in terms of investing.

Maybe you can think about it like this. You do some freelance work on the internet and you charge them in BTC. That way, you are exchange your time for BTC. That's another form of investing and it could lead you great results too if you are able to really pump up the value that you are doing.

[traderethereum]

Before investing, you should first calculate how much money you can use to invest and plan carefully.
You cannot use 30% -50% of your money from your income or savings to invest in bitcoin because you need money to meet your daily needs.
You must remember that in investing, you must use the money you can afford to anticipate if the market is not good so you still have money to survive.
So, in that case, maybe dollar cost averaging would be the method of choice for many people because they don't take that much of a risk.
But all of that will come back to each person investing in bitcoin.

I don't see any difference in buying big and buying gradually, the only thing I know is just make sure you hold bitcoin, if you are having big money, then you can buy at once and if you are the type that's working and you decided to be buying with the money you are making gradually its not also a bad idea. But make sure you are investing any amount that won't be hurting you, and make sure any money you are investing in bitcoin, you won't be needing it for that particular moment, don't invest the amount u will be needing in few days.

That's correct, but it's still not a surprise that some people don't really have a planned price they want to buy; some people just want to always be a lamer in the crypto space. At $15k, some people are still speculating for $10k or $8k, but they fail to realize that buying Bitcoin below $19k is really a perfect opportunity. and even if the price dropped, the difference wouldn't be that much. Some people are afraid of the perfect time to buy; they feel if they buy at a certain price below $20k, it might still fall more, but even if they are afraid, they can divide their capital into two or three places and invest one portion, although it depends on how huge the capital they even have.

Last year, a friend waited to buy at $12k based on his speculation. From the advice he gathered on YouTube and other platforms, he became so convinced that Bitcoin would fall to $12k that even when the price spiked from $15k to $17,000, he still believed it would dump more. It wasn't until this year that he finally bought it for $20,000. So if he had bought when it was still less, he would have made more profit; even without the DCA, he would have at least used some of his capital to buy at the $15k price while still waiting for his speculated price.

For those people that can afford to buy one bitcoin entirely or you've said to buy big, they'll definitely without a doubt buy all at once when they've got money because it might be spent into some other things if they don't buy immediately.

While for the majority of us, we choose to do it with little amounts because not everyone can afford to buy one bitcoin. But with this practice, it's the most recommended one because we're almost in the same situation that there's a limit with our budget.

The important thing whether you're the first or the second one is, we are accumulating bitcoin in the best ways that we can.

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.

That both only if you have money, if not how do you invest?.
Like me a long time ago, I don't have work and don't have money, so I can't invest in Bitcoin. But, I find another way to invest a bitcoin by joining a signature campaign where I get paid with bitcoin. It looks hard in 1st time because I have to suffice your needs also. then I have a strategy to spend it half and the rest I saved in bitcoin.

We can not say it is good or bad with Buying big and Buying small occasionally (DCA). It depends on each investor.

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.

If you have solid belief in Bitcoin, you can buy a big amount and hold it. This requires you to have very solid belief which can not be affected by news, fuds, market volatility. It is for very professional and successful investors. However, even if you are such investor, DCA is helpful for you.

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.  

The DCA investment way is best for small investors who can not afford big capital to invest in Bitcoin at beginning. However, they can accumulate bitcoin gradually by DCA and slowly increase their total capital in Bitcoin.

This is helpful for new investors to avoid panic, fear, uncertainty in this volatile market. This potentially helps newbie investors to become successful investors.
