For the community I want to know, has your investment plan always unfolded as expected or have unexpected events caused you to pause or modify your plan?

Life is unpredictable but should the solid investment advice must has some following points?

• Only invest what you afford to lose.
• Invest with your money, don't borrow.
• Always have savings for emergency. This is what you are asking if I understand your post well. A fund part reserved for emergency is to make sure you will have enough money to use, when your investment is in a bad status such as Bitcoin is in a bear market that usually lasts two or three years

[Zaguru12]

I won’t place my thoughts on bitcoin or cryptocurrency only because many would say it is volatile that’s why plans mapped out for it can never go through smoothly without having bumps on the way but even other businesses which we would regard as less volatile hardly goes into plan completely. And that’s why whenever you’re investing into anything one of the fundamental principles is to have a mapped out risk management plans. If you read posts of experienced investors or traders they will tell you to invest what you can afford to lose and also have an emergency plan to turn on to.

Personally I have hit rock bottom in some situations before and I somehow have to pause a little and retract my former decisions, if they are experts i engage them in the talk and see maybe they have encountered such blow and what they did to come out of it.

There also people that prefers to stick to there plan because they believe that it will be the only way to help them gain more experience and knowledge but for me most at times I pause a little and then re strategize

No one knows the future so having an alternative plan is a must since there is a chance that the unexpected may happen.  In terms of investment, we must always this fail safe option where we can do if ever the Bitcoin market fail to deliver the expected result.  Sticking to the plan or not depends on the situation.  If there is no need for immediate funding then holding Bitcoin will continue but once there is and my current fund is not enough, I will probably modify my plan and sell some holdings to meet the fund I needed.

There are other plans in life that I feel I need to modify or stop like when the business is not that in demand anymore, instead of losing money in maintaining the business, it is better to give up and reduce the losses.  Same goes when I am investing with altcoins.

[Churchillvv]

Generally life is uncertain, that is why we have a plan B that is meant to help us get to the expected end. But the difference between plan B and the initial plan is that is does not follow the rigorous structure of plan A but at least you won't lose.
For me, things have been working as planned but not in my investment life cause I do have one yet but certainly will get one soon.

Every of my plans that has fallen in place as planned did not just work as sort of a miracle, it is as a result of consistency, firstly what I do personally, is to write down this plans a book according to how I want to achieve them. Next is to type or write it on a carbon paper  of different colors. The colors are representing how soon I need to achieve it, then the last color is always "green" meaning I have achieved it already with this conviction in me. I then parse it on my notice board, which is directly facing my bed. Weird right? Yeah that how i keep my self on track when I sleep and wake up I look directly to it and immediately my mind adjust to the plans making me conscious of every action i take during my daily activities to avoid disruption on my plans.

When there are emergencies that tries to pull me off this plans, I gentle go through the plan again and add the emergency situation to the plan not adjust the original plan. I just add the situation to it and boom i will figure out how the situation can still push me to the track.
But if it gets to a level that i can't handle then my plan B comes in but finally the plan is still achieved.

[AakZaki]

There will be no plan that works 100% perfectly, there will definitely be obstacles when market conditions change drastically. I don't even only have 1 plan, but there is a backup plan that needs to be made in order to overcome the initial plan that failed.
It's necessary to stick to the initial plan, but when it doesn't go well at least you have a backup plan that is almost the same as the initial plan. make sure all plans are supported by good management and several other things.

Maybe there some modifications on the plan cause if uts investment mattet we cant totally plan or expect it to be on our side. Sometimes there are cases that we didnt expect to happened. But more likely were gonna solve and remedy that with a back up plan that might suit our stuff on trading or investment purposes.

[Y3shot]

It is a normal thing that sometimes when we plan to invest their are some circumstances that occur that disrupt the plans, but this should not be an excuse of not having any investment in bitcoin. It is not easy to have investment because their are lots of obstacles that one will come across but one just have to be strong and focus to still hold up to the investment.  When it comes to hodling it takes discipline to achieve the target of investing. I'm able to still stick to hodling of bitcoin even with ugly challenges that keeps on happening I have made up my mind to achieve my target no matter what.

[Stepstowealth]

For the community I want to know, has your investment plan always unfolded as expected or have unexpected events caused you to pause or modify your plan?

It is difficult to stick with a plan but easier to stick with the goal, even if the plan changes the goal should not change and whatever modifications you make along the way to the plan should also be on the target to hit the goal. I personally have the targets that I intend to meet and although my plan has often time undergone different modifications due to unplanned circumstances and economic situations, I am still focused on making sure that I am not derailed from hitting my goal as concerning my investment.

[Winterfrost]

Change is dynamic. There are  lots of factors that can make an individual switch from a preferred plan to another plan. These decisions are most times reasonable while are some are because of impatient or greed to make profit faster. I am not changing my strategy yet because I am still a buying more Bitcoins gradually. It will take me a year or 2 to completely accumulate the amount of Bitcoin I had in mind. If eventually I reach the amount I want I wont stop either because I would love to get more Bitcoins.

Thinking that your investment plans would always go as planned would be delusional and this is not only particulate to Bitcoin investment, as an investor it's best to know that there are risks to investing and not even Bitcoin is guaranteed and this is the reason why I hardly sell out Bitcoin as an investment opportunity because many newbies are getting the wrong perspective about.
Speaking about my plans I would be sticking to accumulating Bitcoin not to sell it out but to be part of those who benefits from it's financial system potentials.

[noorman0]

Unexpected events include urgent needs.

I once said elsewhere which should be the priority in life between needs and investment. So you must first create a structured plan to fulfill your needs compared to other plans.

So far, my portfolio is in progress as planned. I have had more unexpected needs this year. And my plans I exclude using bitcoin for reasons of necessity

We cannot time the market, even if we spend hours or days analyzing it. It will make unexpected moves that will force us to make changes in our plans, but first, it will destroy our pre-planning. That's such a sad moment, not because we are losing money, but because we made efforts and applied all the basic rules of technical and fundamental analysis, but still, the market made a move totally on useless and fake things.

But that's so obvious because BTC is the market of demand and supply. If good news is thrown in the news websites with good traffic, then hype will be created, which in turn will return the demand because people will throw more money into BTC and demand will increase, resulting in an increase in price. And the opposite will happen if bad news is thrown into the market.

I also faced such a situation because there is not a single possibility that anyone in the BTC market would have not faced such a situation. Take the example of the recent unexpected fake news from the Cointelegraph channel.

[$crypto$]

Unexpected events always exist in life so it will not be as smooth as what is imagined even though we have planned the initial investment carefully and sometimes in the middle of the road is always not predicted this makes the investment temporarily stopped because there are events that cannot be postponed, in life we will find many twists and turns in our lives.

But with that you can anticipate it with several things including doing good management.
1. Have a reserve fund.
2. Investing is not too aggressive, better as you can with ready to lose if in bitcoin.
3. Never borrow just for the sake of investing.

This is not any financial advice, but the above is one where circumstances must be prepared.

[SatoPrincess]

As a bitcoin investor, you already know the nature of the market to be full of ups and downs just like the candlesticks on a trading chart. Unexpected events may occur that may cause a dump in the market, Covid is a good example of such events in time. When everything seems to be going bad, it’s important to keep calm and not panic because the real loss starts when you begin to panic. You will have to adjust your plans according to certain changes in the market.

[decodx]

Yeah! When folks just getting into Bitcoin ask me how to put their money in, I also tell them you gotta make a plan and follow it.  But to be honest, I wasn't always so disciplined myself.  Life has a funny way of messin with ya, and sometimes you gotta tweak your moves based on whatever curveballs it throws.  Being flexible can make all the difference when you're trying to make bank in this crazy world. 

I remember when I first started buyin Bitcoin back in 2020 and  i was sure it would keep shooting up forever.  So I put way more cash into it than I should've.  But of course after hitting 60k for the first time, it crashed hard.  If I had stuck to my plan of investin 10% of my income, I wouldn't have lost so much.  But at least I learned my lesson about letting FOMO drive my choices.  These days, no matter how tempted I get when Bitcoin's pumping I stay disciplined. 

So especially when you're new make a reasonable plan and try to follow it.  Still, you can't be too rigid either.  Don't be afraid to make little adjustments if the situation changes.  Nothing ever goes 100% to plan with investing.  You gotta balance commitment with flexibility if you wanna succeed long-term in this game.

This. With life, it is unpredictable and some unforeseen things might come. I am sticking to the plan but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't also adjust if some things happen. I've got my holdings prepared for the next bull run and some of those are for the long term basis where I won't spend or sell any penny from it. But if some things have come and another opportunity has come in where I have to sell a part of it, I'd do it. I've done that in the past and even before the 2021 bull run. No regrets on my end because most of the plans that I did have been executed even if some unexpected things have come. We need to adjust, if there's a need to modify, we have to modify it no matter what the situation is bringing us in.

It's actually good to have a solid plan before you decide to invest. That will serve as your motivation to keep on going because you certainly have a goal to achieve. But sometimes, due to the market volatility and unforeseen events suddenly happen, we are forced to change plans because things have been working not based on our plans. And I don't see wrong of that because it only means that you are flexible enough to any market changes. That does not mean also that once you change plans, there is less likely to achieve your goal. Of course, the same goal is there. It's just that a change of action is needed that you think will be more effective so that the goal of your investment will still be achieved. If there's a need to adjust, then accept it. After all, no plan is perfect because we don't know what the future holds. Just be flexible whenever its needed.

Life itself is unpredictable so is investment in any sector. But regardless of these uncertainties we still need to make plans based on our prediction of the future. Sometimes it works as planned in some case it will have some hurdles that derails our roadmaps. This is why before we invest we should have emergency plans. One of the reasons why our plans change is because of financial emergency. In some cases, we are pressured to sell our coins because of unforeseen needs. But when we make provisions for these uncertainties we might have a better chance of sticking to our plans.

Unexpected events include urgent needs.

Investment is not a do-or-die affair. I know it takes determination to save and invest especially if one is staying in a developing country. But our main focus should be on our basic needs. Investing in Bitcoin should be after we have made adequate provisions for our basic needs.

Not all the time I stick to my plan and that is the reason why Plan B exists in case Plan A never works. Of course, we can't be thinking of sticking to our plan if we see that it is not effective anymore, or else, we are committing suicide. Diversification is somewhat needed and the best thing to do is to correct the strategies that are not effective. As the market keeps on changing, it is also necessary to change our strategies and plans from time to time to cope with market changes as well.

As much as possible, I always wanted to stick to my plan when it comes to investing, and into my investments, but as always, I always have a plan B if things don't go the way I wanted to.

Having a plan, and stick to it has been helpful to me because I tried to do it, but there are some unexpected events that will sometimes really force you to have another plan. Some unexpected plans, and some challenges of mine in the past caused me to pause investing, or at least lessen the times that I'm investing, and until now TBH. I guess what's good for me is to stick to my plan, and that is to sell all of my assets during the bull run, and rebought it when bear market comes.

In any case, we definitely understand the following things, namely that plans do not necessarily go according to what we planned. We sometimes arrange our plans and make them as good and ideal as possible. But in reality, it won't be that smooth. So in the end, we need to adjust the plan according to what should be done at that time. This is the importance of strategy at critical times to be able to decide what our next plan should be. This doesn't mean we are inconsistent and committed to the original plan, no. but rather we are more realistic in making decisions as wisely as possible so that no matter what, the results will be in accordance with our plans. And it could be that we need several backup plans if plan A really doesn't work.

This is important, especially in relation to business in cryptocurrency which is always a high risk. Several plans will allow us to understand quickly and in a timely manner when something is not ideal or does not work as planned. Investing in crypto also means that we must understand and know what to do carefully. Moreover, this is something that is high risk. So, modifying or re-adjusting the plan is quite necessary at certain times.

[Obari]

Well since nothing is certain in cryptocurrency, I think our plans aren’t certain as well so I doubt if Majority of persons over here still actually keep to their initial plans they had from the onset because I already use myself as a case study as I’ve tried several things with crypto and initially I wanted to be a day trader and later switched to long time trader before getting other decisions and that’s to say that, it is actually not always easy to maintain a foresaid course while starting the crypto journey as there are 85 percent chances of a change if diei

[Ever-young]

My investment plan on bitcoin has been shaking this period due to some certain challenges which was never part of the plan, I have not only stopped buying for sometimes now but I have also started selling few altcoins which I purchased and added to my crypto portfolio, this is as a result of me trying to meet up with bills of my increase needs.

There are times when we experience difficulties even if one is have a planned means of buying DCA and and agreed amount which is to be bought every week, those challenges can make you skip up to a month self without even thinking about accumulation, but that’s not always the end of it, as things move to the positive side one will always have the chance and time to start from where ever he stop.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I think it's more difficult for me to hold Fiat than to hold Bitcoin, in the sense that I can hold my Bitcoin and will not sell during some simple situation, but if it were Fiat, I would hold Like that, there is likely a possibility that I will spend it. I have my Bitcoin in my storage but can take a Fiat loan just not to sell off my Bitcoin. Also, I can say I have had some plans to invest a certain amount of money in Bitcoin because I had a target for the fraction I wanted to archive in a targeted period, but since I skipped some times, I was not able to archive the amount I wanted to invest, so I changed my plan and budget just to make sure I archived that target.

[Stalker22]

I do not really have some official plan or anything.  I am pretty much done with the whole traditional banking scene.  These days I mostly just use different cryptocurrencies instead of dealing with banks and  i know it probably sounds crazy, but I am all about the future of finance being decentralized and people controlling their own money without needing big institutions like banks anymore. It is not just a plan; it is a lifestyle.

[poodle63]

honestly life planning in my opinion such ineffective way of living, you just never know what future holds, why even bother plan, just give some big outlining on what you really wanna do, then you're set.
you will encounter many hassle and opportunities as you go on, which definitely gonna mess up plan if someone have one but you are just having the big outlining for what you wanna do so you just gonna go with the flow.
I personally just doing thing like learning skill and more, without any proper expectation for the future, but i can be prepared for what opportunities i might encounter in the future.
thats why i consider plannign is ineffective, might be difficult for someone else though, considering there are some people out there that have planned their life for achieving some great thing.

[Razmirraz]

Using money that is not used for other needs is one way to ensure that investments are not disrupted. Financial conditions are unpredictable, it is necessary to have savings to anticipate urgent needs so that investments are not disrupted. We must strive to ensure that the initial plan is neatly structured and runs perfectly, whatever happens, don't let the assets that have been collected be sold because they are unable to withstand the pressure to finance other needs. Investment is a scheme to make a profit after the price increases, before the investment plan reaches the target point, never destroy the initial plan because to start collecting assets you have to start from zero again.

[bayu7adi]

Of course this will get a very conditional answer and will never be the same. Sometimes I change plans more often because I see other opportunities that suddenly appear. This often happens and the end result is that no one knows about our plans. Sometimes changing plans can end in happiness, but sometimes it can't be without regret.

To get satisfactory results, usually first plan plan B as a backup plan. And if plan B is not possible, you are forced to make an impromptu plan and sometimes stop for a moment to think and see opportunities.

But what is certain is that I always like the plans I make. Even if it fails, I am still proud and if it succeeds, that is my contribution.

[Poker Player]

But with that you can anticipate it with several things including doing good management.
1. Have a reserve fund.
2. Investing is not too aggressive, better as you can with ready to lose if in bitcoin.
3. Never borrow just for the sake of investing.

As it is, what the OP says looks like he has not included a good emergency fund in his plan so that he can draw on it when the going gets tough and not have to sell his Bitcoin. In my case, I have modified a bit the plans I had regarding Bitcoin over time but due to my financial evolution and knowledge, not because I have been forced to sell.

[Lida93]

When we make our plans in life, circumstances in life do also have its own unforeseen plans for us that's why life in general is unpredictable going by how we can't certainly say what could be our fate the next minutes. That's why in all our planning be it bitcoin investment or any other business investment there must be a contingency plan on ground to alleviate storming weather that may arise against your plans from going smoothly.

A good businessman knows not to be too rigid but flexible with investment planning so that when situations hit against the already laid down plan we can always adjust, modify and move on without fail. The dynamism of business challenges can come in form of natural disasters, wars/conflicts, death, or from our own mistakes etc.

The bottom line is:
• Never expect your plans to go as planned, be flexible in your planning.
• Make for an emergency fund even when you feel you're on the right track.
• Never mistake a need (necessity) to a want in your business plans. The two are totally not same.
• No man is a library of all knowledge, learning to seek for business advise when you meet challenges that threatens your investment and also evaluate all advises given before digesting it.

Just a simple personal experience and not a business expertise advise.

Life will always throw you at unexpected situations so if you are stubborn and stick with what you initially planned to do then it may have the lesser chance so the smart option will be to plan accordingly to the market situation whether it is investment in bitcoin or stocks or whatever assets just adjust to the current situation and tries to make most out of it.

[rat03gopoh]

And it could be that we need several backup plans if plan A really doesn't work.

It's a goal-oriented plan. Inhibiting factors can come unexpectedly, so having a plan must be arranged as flexibly as possible which is able to accept the necessary changes to achieve the same results.

[mvdheuvel1983]

Whatever plans we have should always be flexible. If you plan is to DCA weekly until you get to 1 bitcoin, it may take you a very long time. Meanwhile there are other ways to get to 1 bitcoin. Investing in altcoin, taking profit from it and buying more bitcoins is a flexible approach to reaching your one coin goal.

More than once, life has made me to pause or modify my goals. One such case is selling a few of my Satoshi to pay my house rent when the going was tough and I didn't want to borrow any money from anyone. It affected my plans. I was flexible enough.

Life happens when we are not thinking about it. So we must be very futuristic with our plans by thinking about all the things that could go wrong and making a buffer plan for them. Always be prepared and on guard for life's unexpected twists and turns.

[DanWalker]

Life is always full of surprises and it is difficult to predict anything. So if things don't go as we expected and we have obstacles, it's not a big deal. I mean, we don't need to be too strict with our plans, we should be flexible in every situation to have an easier life instead of always sticking to the first plan and feeling disappointed when it didn't go as well as we expected.  

During my journey of accumulating bitcoins over the past 2 years, I encountered a few problems that prevented me from accumulating the bitcoins as planned, but that doesn't mean my plan failed or that I will stop. Instead, I changed the plan to suit the situation and was satisfied with what I achieved.

[Negotiation]

Planning will help you start and grow your business A good business plan helps to focus only on the specific steps required to make the business idea a success and it helps them achieve their short term and long-term objectives. Also the business plan guides you through every stage of starting and managing your business. Investing in bitcoin requires a long term plan and the chances of success are high if the plan is properly maintained. Now that you know what area you want to work in, the next step is to analyze the market in which you want to work. Planning helps to critically evaluate the goal it facilitates decision making and allows setting a deadline by predicting when one can achieve one's goals.

The only unforeseen circumstances that may alter your original bitcoin investment plan, is when there is an emergency that desperately need funds.
This could be prevented though with a well planned financial managements. This is where you realize the importance of the saying "invest what you can afford to lose". Because the money you put in bitcoin will be at a temporary loss especially during bearish market. Saving an emergency funds separate from your personal savings is a great contingency plan against this unforeseen circumstances that may cost you bitcoin investments and any other form of investments.

[karabiber]

It is impossible to stick to the plan if you are not ambitious enough and have no purpose. Even if you have a goal, ambition will overcome the difficulties in achieving that goal and controlled ambition is necessary to stick to the plan. People often make short-term investments in the cryptocurrency markets and their goal is to double their investment in a very short period of time. Sadly, many of those who plan to do this end up with balances that fall behind where they started.

Sticking to the plan is a difficult process and going through painful experiences is one of the most effective ways to stick to the plan. Another way to stick to the plan is to listen to the advice of those who have had painful experiences. There will be many factors in life that negatively affect us financially and emotionally, but if you believe in the future of Bitcoin in the cryptocurrency markets, stick to your plan and don't let anything deter you from your path.

The first and most important thing is to ensure stable finances if you want to invest in Bitcoin as ideally as possible within the planned time period. Because with financial stability it will be easier for you to carry out the plans that have been prepared. Like it or not, the main rule is like that. But it's not always ideal, buy Bitcoin with the amount you can afford, no need to stick to plans that you can't fulfill. Whenever you have extra money, invest it, even if it's just a few dollars. Then, when you encounter sudden needs that must be met automatically, you can set aside investments and fulfill those needs until they are met properly.

Every investment plan does not always go well, it just depends on how you respond to it. Simplify it in your own way so that it doesn't become a heavy burden just because you are faced with 2 choices. Your investment is your right to determine good and bad decisions and will not harm other people.

[vv181]

Any course of strategy that thoroughly conceived and planned will not automatically make it predetermined. It’s not specifically applies only to bitcoin investment, but a matter of life. There are things that are beyond our control and things that one can control internally.

Consequently, the are a concepts of risk likeliness and impact. Where each potential effect assessed to calculate its contribution to the plan or strategy. So, I don’t believe that strategy can be achieve pitch perfectly 100% as planned.

[Helena Yu]

Advising to newcomer about Bitcoin isn't mean the my Bitcoin investment is already successful and there's no such a complete plan!

I always say for newcomer to learn about Bitcoin, then invest it using DCA strategy, and make sure you've have a job that pays well first. I'm not someone who said investing in Bitcoin will be successful regardless how much you earn monthly or something like that.

If you earn good amount of money monthly, you wouldn't need to change your plan because you have money that you can use for emergency needs.

[Nheer]

We often advise newcomers asking about successful Bitcoin investment strategies to have a well-structured plan and stick to it no matter what.

There is a general saying that goes “Failing to plan is planning to fail”. Without planning it is more as if you don’t have directions and without direction you won’t know where you are heading to so to become successful in any aspect of life one needs to properly plan himself and stick to the plans no matter what happens because there will definitely be challenges along the line and these challenges would want to temper with your plans forcing you to make changes to them.

Nevertheless if there is anything I have learned is that in bitcoin investment it  is rarely a linear journey. And despite our best intentions and meticulous planning, unforeseen circumstances can disrupt our initial plans. For the community I want to know, has your investment plan always unfolded as expected or have unexpected events caused you to pause or modify your plan? Despite our best efforts there are instances where sticking rigorously to a plan becomes challenging due to the unpredictable nature of life.

Definitely, we plan but we are not the master planner so unforeseen circumstances are bound to happen and when they do it will affect our plans and we will be forced to modify them. Investing in bitcoin is somewhat challenging because even when you want to set aside a certain amount on a timely basis sometimes you will be in desperate financial situation and you will now be forced to use your supposedly timely investment or you will be forced to withdraw from your portfolio. No matter what happens the most important thing is to keep investing no matter how little your investment is.

have unexpected events caused you to pause or modify your plan? Despite our best efforts there are instances where sticking rigorously to a plan becomes challenging due to the unpredictable nature of life.

The unexpected event is the economic situation that harsh and biting on the pocket of the man on the street which has caused reduction in the standard of living and lifestyle. The economy has not improved over a long time instead it is dropping rapidly and people can no longer continue to maintain their lifestyle and they have to reduce their taste for life.

Inflation is high and that is causing the value of fiat to depreciate, so you can't use the money meant for the home for drink with friends and that area of socialization gradually feds away. It is unfortunate how things are changing rapidly for worse.

[Alpha Marine]

I have had to change my Bitcoin journey plans a couple of times.
In life generally, things do not always go according to plan.
You might be making certain plans about something, and then things beyond your control can happen and alter the plan. So it's not just about the Bitcoin journey, but in every other thing that requires planning.

What I believe is, if it's something you really want or need, don't let those unforeseen circumstances make you stop your journey. When you make a plan and something happens to alter it, fix that problem and continue the journey. Even if it takes you to start from scratch, do it.
A degree you want to get, a career you're trying to pursue, a business you're trying to build. Are you trying to save up for something? Whatever it may be, provided it's worth it, try again.

And also, when making plans, don't make ridiculously strict rules or plans. Don't make unrealistic plans.
For instance, you make $1000 a month and you're planning to save up $20,000 for one year just from your earnings. That's unrealistic. You're only going to succeed in putting yourself under unnecessary pressure. Make realistic plans.

100%. I've changed from bothering myself to learning to trade to just DCA Bitcoin. I'm glad I realized early on that trading was not for me, I sucked at patiently waiting for changes and the plan for long-term trading turned into a short-term loss instead. I've never tried my hand at shorts again after that and I doubt I'd ever will again really. It probably didn't help that strategies were a thing of my dreams back then. Now DCA is kind of a simple strategy but it has so far been rather effective, I'm still on the plus side after investing when BTC dropped to 20k ish levels last time.

investing in bitcoin will never be easy when you only have an income that is not very stable, you will indeed be enthusiastic at first to invest in bitcoin but in the end you will just give up and sell the bitcoin you have when you really need money (you will change  your plans and will only try to meet these urgent needs), therefore I strongly recommend that you first have a stable income then you will hold onto the bitcoin you have even if you encounter problems one day.

It cannot be denied that I have ever gone out of the plan I had made regarding my investments, especially in bitcoin. But at that time I had not strictly implemented a reserve or emergency fund strategy. Now, since I implemented reserve fund preparation, I have become more able to stick to every financial plan that I have prepared carefully and have planned carefully.

But unexpected things always exist in our lives and that is a normal thing in life. It's just that we have to be prepared to face situations like that which are called unexpected situations. So that is where it is important to prepare funds specifically for unexpected situations that could arise without us predicting beforehand. And remember that emergency funds must be easy to use. Examples include cash funds and the like. The point is that these funds must be ready to be used in unforeseen circumstances, which means we must be able to use them immediately as quickly as possible. Without having to wait or go through complicated processes. Because emergency situations usually don't give us much time. We have to move quickly.

[Arenga pinnata]

We are not always able to make everything according to what we have planned. Especially if we are in a condition that is not very financially stable. Sometimes we have to readjust the plans we have made because new conditions occur that we never imagined. Which makes us inevitably have to re-plan or adjust our plans again. So, to avoid changes in plans, we should first focus on building our own economic stability. Because only a stable economy can enable us to stick more firmly to the plans that have been made.

Or simply don't make a rush decision when it comes to your investment plan. Do it one by one as there are unforeseen events in our life we need to consider. Without considering these possibilities, it can lead to being unable to stick to your plan.

But always remember that being unable to stick with your plan happens to everyone. No way to avoid it. To minimize the possibility of it from happening, having a stable income is a good way to start. The income that is more than enough to support your daily needs and save enough for unexpected expenses.

Of course nature has always been firm and still portraying the realms of plans ahead of time.
During my university days around 2018, I worked a part-time teaching job and then, my friend brought about Bitcoin to my aid but I was ignorant to it because I thought expantiating my teaching carrier after I could have an insight of how lucrative it could be to have an institution.

Time goes and that of my friend keep bringing about Bitcoin to me and trying to convince me that I can still take walk towards my pursues while I can still invest on the coin because it doesn't require personal skills or much attentions if only the technical structures is adhered to and yet I was adamant to it.

All of my aim was resting at installing an institution of my own atleast from a local planning sector because in my country, there is always a geographical regional institutions that is categorized between the rich, poor and the average schoolars and that of poor likely to be part of the average schoolars does not really requires standard background structures.
I works over my head to make earning til I could accumulate a capital to kickstart my journey of dreams..
Time goes by and my friend was doing so well than I am then I to give Bitcoin as that of his source of income a try and at 2020 I could invest a minimum oh damn believe me, the system was so mysteriously a favour on my side which triggered me to additionally boosten my capital because it was interested to learn a fast growing investment without pulling the muscles, no energy possessions required but was all flexible and I was also able to diversify.

Moreso, I realized an amount my teaching job can not afford me in 2 years in just 3 months of investing in the Bitcoin and I felt I have missed a lot but wasn't still something regrettable.

Nevertheless, I never lost focus to my dream and my the  beginning of 2022 I was able to launch my own private institution and the source of Bitcoin provided me with over 75% capital to actualize my dream. Congratulations 👏🎉 to me 😃💕.

At this point of time, I am a private institutional CEO same time a profitable Bitcoin investor.

Dear community members, What you don't know is really bigger than the less you think about it. And I have also learnt to giving benefits of doubt to what I know not about.

Everything is going on as I planned until now. My long term goal, accumulation strategy have never changed and they won't. The only changes I made to my long term goal were to lift the portfolio size higher than I planned for at the beginning of my journey. For my short term plan I was much more flexible and made changes based on my necessities. There were some downside which gave me valuable lesson but my mindset and overall strategies are still the same. Historical data tells me bitcoin is following the path it took in all of its 4 year cycle so there is no point in thinking it won't be this time. Although i do believe there is no guarantee it will be the same this time but the probability is high.

[el kaka22]

Well, life has changed a million times along the way for sure. I have never made any calculations regarding crypto neither, when I was growing up there was no crypto, bitcoin wasn't invented, so I never really assumed this would be possible and suddenly it is, that's a very important part of it.

I think it should be noted that things are not that easy for a lot of people and we should be avoiding it as much as we possibly could. I believe that we are not going to end up with anything that could be a little bit riskier. So long story short we should note down the fact that we can't really make anything bigger change, but sometimes life changes it for us and we need to accept the ride and go with it with whatever we are given.

[topbitcoin]

Indeed, in doing something to achieve a goal, we are required to have good planning so that everything can go according to our expectations. However, we need to remember, sometimes what we plan is often not in accordance with what happens in the field and this can happen because sometimes in its implementation we often encounter challenges and problems that are beyond our previous expectations. But do we have to replace this plan with a new plan? Yes... we need to replace it if it is deemed that the previous plan cannot solve the existing problems and is no longer in accordance with the existing reality. However, if the previous plan is still deemed to be in harmony, then we don't need to bother replacing it and the only step we have to do is re-evaluate it to find out what are the shortcomings and add new strategies that are deemed capable of solving existing problems and answering the challenges faced.

[panganib999]

Not gonna lie, I got subjected to one of the worst situations you can be in corporately as of now (got laid off on my other job, had to focus on my deadend 9-5) and I have to make do of the situation until things get a little more brighter, so yes, I've been in a pickle as of now, good thing I have substantial savings that would keep me afloat for a couple of months to a couple of years depending on how inflation acts up in the future. Anywho, the bacon comes for those ready to grab it with a fork, so if you're dilly-dallying and blaming other factors for why you're dealt a bad hand now instead of actually acting upon your situation and doing something about it, this pickle you'll be in, you'd probably be stuck in here for a long time, if not forever even.

[JoyMarsha]

Life scenario comes in different ways we don't understand at times. Sometimes it comes softly, or at times harshly. The way we follow it up tells how broken or made we will be from it.

Bitcoin investments don't go too rosy at all times, making a plan b will always be necessary if we want to be happy in it. Although I have always learned bitcoin to be a volatile asset that can do well in price in the future if hodl. That's why in this present market condition, I want to stick with the plan of buying and accumulating at a low price and aiming to sell at a higher price. Modifying it at this time doesn't really make sense since we will soon be seeing the green candlelights

So far I have not changed my investment plan - but only adapted to the circumstances. I mean - I don't insist on continuing to accumulate as long as there are other needs that tend to take priority. The initial plan is still the same - this is a long-term investment that should be managed in such a way that as much as possible does not change the plan.

You must be able to set a reserve budget before you start investing - of course this is done so that you don't easily change your investment plans, especially when there is an urgent need. Long-term investors have to think about that and plan well - I think that's an important part from other important parts.

[Fara Chan]

Life will always throw you at unexpected situations so if you are stubborn and stick with what you initially planned to do then it may have the lesser chance so the smart option will be to plan accordingly to the market situation whether it is investment in bitcoin or stocks or whatever assets just adjust to the current situation and tries to make most out of it.

Unexpected situations will always exist in life, because if all people could predict every situation that would come with their own thoughts, I think there would be fewer people who would have difficulties in life. Because every bad thing will be easier to avoid, but because the situation is always unpredictable by everyone, of course every plan we make ourselves must always have adjustments and balance in carrying it out with several important points and one of them is as you said.

[lovesmayfamilis]

It is obvious that we cannot predict our future, especially in a precise manner. Things always happen and will happen that we cannot hide from. It is always good to follow the path that we plan for our lives, but adjustments will still be made one way or another. Those people who go against fate most often lose something else, maybe even more valuable than money.
On the other hand, all the events that happen to us on the way to the goal give us the opportunity to gain experience and become more competent in certain situations.

Life is unpredictable, and it is important to have a master plan in place. I am referring to the main goals and objectives in a person's life. Along the way, as time passes, there will be some unforeseen situations, and you have to modify your plan and way of thinking to get past that situation. You should be flexible in your plans so that they won't trouble you in the long run.
As far as investment plans are concerned, it is advised to have a diverse portfolio. You should have some of your investment in liquid assets and the remaining in Stocks and Bitcoin etc. You should also have some emergency savings as well. This will help you to face any kind of emergency or situation in the future.

[Bananington]

If there's one thing I have come to realize about a good plan, it is that the plan is adjustable.
Many reasons can make an investor not follow a said plan of even DCA because of the current economic hardship or inflation or unforeseen circumstances redefining the moment.
I have always firstly paused when am faced with a challenge that's threatening. If the pause period is growing long, the best thing I do is actually to modify or improvise on the original plan, so as not to become dormant or channel the energy into a wrong direction.

[kryptqnick]

I've never fully committed to considering Bitcoin as an investment, and I generally don't believe in 'no matter what' scenarios. If you have a chance to assess the situation and adapt your reaction, why not do it? Why stick to something that clearly isn't working or should be revisited because of unexpected events?
Since mine was and continues to be more of a personal guideline than a plan, I'm sort of following it. But sometimes I find it harder to do because of changes in my life, so I think it's totally fine to make the appropriate changes and not worry about that.

[bluebit25]

Sometimes it doesn't take success to have the right to speak up, when I see valuable lessons from failure as a warning to anyone, and even with bitcoin. I have also encountered many failures that caused the original plan to be abandoned, and I always accept the truth of my own incompetence and hope that people do not get involved in those things. One of the things that I see appear and repeat a lot is the issue of a lack of knowledge and experience, but let's look at knowledge first. In the past, there were jobs that I arranged and operated, but actually I have never thoroughly understood them or known the things they would solve, so failure is the truth that I need to accept and try harder. I have learned and also felt the ''lose is the source of winner''.

We have our plan, but the crypto market has its own plan. Apart from that, our lives have whole different plans. So I don't think everyone could execute their plan (like I am going to make this much profit from Bitcoin and other coin trading; I didn't mean your personal goals or anything) because this market is highly volatile and we definitely can't promise this would happen. So when we set a threshold, sometimes it's disappointing, but other times it's beyond expectations. So keep your goals realistic because life is not always predictable, but our reaction to that should be strategic. Don't give up on them; keep going and fighting.

Yes, I regularly change my plans and think it's important to do so, because circumstances change as well. Capital and crypto markets are very volatile and change quickly in times of a crisis, that is why we as investors should be ready to adapt to a new situation. More sophisticated plans might already include different outlooks and give a recommendation how to act. For example, having a different plan for the bear market and the bull market makes a lot of sense, but also for times without large prices changes we should have a plan. For me, I prefer to reevaluate things on a constant basis instead of following one fixed plan for a long time. The only real strategy that makes sense to follow consistently is the DCA method in my opinion. Here we buy a fixed number of crypto currencies each month and following the strategy blindly is fine as it will lead to a decent purchase price of the coins over a long enough period. It saves a lot of time in doing research and after a few years this will lead to large crypto portfolio.

[michellee]

The investment plan I have is still running as expected but there may be unexpected events, such as the need for money. But that doesn't happen often so my investment plans are still running as usual. I also don't want to stop that investment plan because I still have time to buy and hold Bitcoin.

Actually, it's okay if unexpected needs sometimes disrupt our investment plans. As long as we can cover these unexpected needs, we still have time to continue investing in the next period. Don't worry about the money being used for unexpected needs because we have allocated a certain amount of money for each investment.

The important thing is that we continue with our initial plan to invest in Bitcoin. We also still have time to buy and hold Bitcoin. So we have to be able to adjust everything based on the situation and conditions we experience.

[GxSTxV]

Unfortunately, nothing goes always as planned not only in investing but our whole life we receive news or things that will always make us change our plans, for example this year I was saving and investing in Bitcoin. Until I receive a new university acceptation that requires paying the full first part before getting started, So I had to use almost all my Bitcoin and sell it at a cheaper price than what it is now.
It’s so unfortunate but also you can’t do anything else, but worth to say that I didn’t give up and still saving on every chance and still believe just like any other time in my plan, as you said it’s only a pause and than you continue your road by sticking to your plan.

That's right, but even so it doesn't mean we have to forget and not build new plans, because it is part of the process of everyone's success in whatever they want to achieve. In my opinion, the success or failure of the plan you are living depends on how much and how good the preparation you have prepared beforehand, although basically we will not always know about what will happen someday, especially in the planning that we live but on the other hand it will be very useful for an encouragement to increase the chances of success of the plan that we have built and lived.

Everything, especially plans that are not accompanied by action, is nothing more than nonsense and planning that will not change and produce anything in the end. Therefore, of course I hope that whoever it is to remain firm on his plan along with taking some actions that can support and indirectly support so that your planning opportunities can reach the point of success.

So it would be better before we make an investment, we need to prepare savings for needs that we cannot foresee, so that we don't have to disturb the investment we make and if we have prepared the funds and also still need to use the funds we have invested, of course we can use it and try to reinvest at another opportunity and we must really have prepared funds to invest and also funds for emergency needs that we cannot foresee so as not to disrupt the investment we make.

By delaying doing what we have planned, we will not be able to carry out the plan well. It would be better if we have made a plan well, we must immediately implement the plan well because delaying what we have planned will make us lazy in implementing the plan, so that when we implement the plan it will not go well. Yes, it's true, taking action will always be better than just making a good plan but we never carry it out so the plans we make are useless.

There are several reasons that will disrupt investment so that it is possible to get out of the plans we have made at the beginning, in this life we don't know what will happen in the future, it's good if everything can be overcome with income from other sources but if market conditions are not according to what we expect psychologically our thinking will be disturbed and it will be possible to get out of the plan we have set at the beginning.

Nevertheless, don't put your eggs in one basket, always invest diversely. Like trading has been a very big challenge to keep hope on because it is highly risky. Bitcoin investment like hodling seem to me as more secured than trying out trading aspect. With bitcoin hodling, you are less pressured or scared because you have a chance to regain the drop because of the volatility. It is better to invest than to trade IMO.

 There's been situations where we have a plan we have to execute and then we create the funds we measured to be enough for it's accomplishment and then things go smoothly, the plan starts getting executed rightly, the funds distributed, then at some point something else that carries as more urgency as it can comes up and then we're faced at a situation where there's no option but to make a deduction on the already arranged funds for this specific plan, now this deduction made will beyond all doubt affect the progress of this plan, at that point there'd be no further questions as we'd because of the urgency bend the plan a bit to do away with that urgent issue that arose.
 Such is life, very much unpredictable, yes we'd say budget would help, but even with the budget, another budget can still be inside that we don't have a fore-knowledge of it's occurrence. When this situation raises, we just have to give in and get the problem fixed. So it's not anyone's fault if a whole lot of plans keeps changing in the process of it's accomplishment. All that should just be watched out for is adequate preparation for its occurrence, yes we won't prepare well financially but we can as well prepare well mentally and just see it as a normal cycle of life.

For the community I want to know, has your investment plan always unfolded as expected or have unexpected events caused you to pause or modify your plan?

Life is unpredictable but should the solid investment advice must has some following points?

• Only invest what you afford to lose.
• Invest with your money, don't borrow.
• Always have savings for emergency. This is what you are asking if I understand your post well. A fund part reserved for emergency is to make sure you will have enough money to use, when your investment is in a bad status such as Bitcoin is in a bear market that usually lasts two or three years

This is ideal but as we all know, we have different circumstances especially financially. Perhaps you have an extra money today which allowed you to invest then a sudden emergency happened which made you choose whether to keep your investment and suffer or pull it out to aid the situation. Thus for me, it is okay to sometimes make adjustments and what would matter is your action after that; to continue and restart or to stop and move on. We all have the drive to have more money and we should all be persistent no matter what. Some investors in this industry have moved to other field of investment but that’s totally fine. What matters would be the goal we all have.

[tjtonmoy]

I always recommend having two separate account. One is for saving and another is for investment. That way you don't mix up your investment with savings. But life is unpredictable and we are often presented with situations that could cost more than we have saved. Maybe you are just starting to save for the future and invest at the same time, but certain events could happen which can cost you a lot and your savings can't cover it. Despite your best effort, you are left with less money than needed.

Situation like this have come in our lives at least one time. You invest for your future so I don't think there is anything wrong using that investment to cover up the need. It's all about doing little adjustment based on the situation and move on with life. You can always make back what you use from the investment, but life is precious. Sticking to the plan doesn't mean you should risk your life.  If you are not there to enjoy the profit from your investment in the future, then what's the point of it?

If you are faced with an extreme situation, there's nothing wrong to modify your plan. Be happy and enjoy your life.

For the community I want to know, has your investment plan always unfolded as expected or have unexpected events caused you to pause or modify your plan? Despite our best efforts there are instances where sticking rigorously to a plan becomes challenging due to the unpredictable nature of life.

Since the beginning of my Bitcoin journey, my plans have changed occasionally, although I never gave up the idea of holding the largest portion of BTC funds thinking on long run. What changes is the measurement of this long run: is it going to be for an undetermined period of time, for 10, 20 years or just until the next ATH? And actually, that is normal to change our plans, because daily events, needs and challenges shape our goals and expections regards the future.

I believe it's a virtue to be a malleable person who adapts himself on the different situations life is constantly presenting. That is not only a virtue, but a matter of survival: those who aren't able to adapt themselves are doomed to extinction. That is the natural law of life.

And despite our best intentions and meticulous planning, unforeseen circumstances can disrupt our initial plans. For the community I want to know, has your investment plan always unfolded as expected or have unexpected events caused you to pause or modify your plan?

When you properly plan yourself before you start your bitcoin journey, then things will work out well. Some people do have to modify themselves due to poor planning and some unforeseen circumstances, but I have been investing in bitcoin for few years, and up until now there has been no change in my investment strategy. I am still holding my bitcoin for a long period of time, and I don't have any plans to sell any of my bitcoin for now.

Some of the reasons why I believe some people change their plans after investing in bitcoin are lack of proper knowledge. Some people don't have proper knowledge about what bitcoin is really about, they just jump into bitcoin investments because they see people making money from bitcoin, which is very wrong.

Some people do end up investing all the money they have in bitcoin, and some people do end up selling their properties just because they want to invest in bitcoin, which is not supposed to be. If you invest all your money and issues arise, how will you be able to solve those problems? Things like this are one of the reasons why some people do end up selling back their bitcoin after investing initially. You need to have some funds aside from your bitcoin investment if you are planning to hold it for the long term.

• Only invest what you afford to lose.

Yes exactly your points are well for success as some people want to become rich in a second and they think that if they invest large amount they will easily get maximum profit but they should also not forget that this large amount is hazardous for them. Keep check on your salary and invest only a minimum amount so if market does not help you in getting profit then you will not be distress about recovering as recovery of small amount is not so hard.

• Invest with your money, don't borrow.

Taking loan is also a bad idea therefore one should not maximise his loss because if burrowed money reduces in price then a person will face double loss as one is reductions in invested money and other is that returning burrowed money to the owner will become difficult. Always utilise your own money if you have and if you have no sum for investment then wait until you save money because burrowing money from others can be treacherous for you.

• Always have savings for emergency. This is what you are asking if I understand your post well. A fund part reserved for emergency is to make sure you will have enough money to use, when your investment is in a bad status such as Bitcoin is in a bear market that usually lasts two or three years

Emergency fund is necessary for a condition where you will need money for emergency and if you don't have any emergency fund you will surely use money by selling your asset so may be at that time market gives you loss due to reduced value therefore keep your invested amount save and save another portion of money as an emergency budget.

Slow and steady wins the race for me. I've tried many different things over the years and have got to the point where I'm happy to build up a portfolio, brick by brick, over a long time period without trying to quadruple my money overnight like some people like to chase. There is a small group that will get lucky in many business related activities and get rich from it, however the majority will fail following that sort of high risk strategy. My advice would be to find a sensible middle ground where you cannot eliminate all risk, but try to quantify it and find a good trade off for decent returns on your money. The main thing is making sure any money you do accumulate is working well for you.

Unfortunately, nothing goes always as planned not only in investing but our whole life we receive news or things that will always make us change our plans, for example this year I was saving and investing in Bitcoin. Until I receive a new university acceptation that requires paying the full first part before getting started, So I had to use almost all my Bitcoin and sell it at a cheaper price than what it is now.
It’s so unfortunate but also you can’t do anything else, but worth to say that I didn’t give up and still saving on every chance and still believe just like any other time in my plan, as you said it’s only a pause and than you continue your road by sticking to your plan.

This is the reason why it's important to always have some emergency funds kept aside for such situations apart from your investments in Bitcoin and other financial markets where you know you might not be able to sell your assets with profit when you require funds but you might be compelled to do that since you need money. Since you will have some emergency funds saved for such situations, you will have the option to use those funds instead of selling your assets at a loss or before the price that you originally planned to sell them for.

When you are saving for your investments, try to save some money for emergencies as well and keep it separate and keep it fiat so that you don't have to worry about selling and using them no matter how the condition of the market is, and you wouldn't have to sell your Bitcoin holdings for the sake of paying money for the emergency you are facing.

Before saving money with the intention to invest it, it is imperative to save money and create an emergency fund that could last you at least for a few months, as the number of emergencies that you may need to face are countless, and most of them will require some extra money in order to overcome them as quickly as possible.

Now someone may refuse to create such fund and try to get away with it, and I would think many will succeed on this endeavor, but there are many other people that will fail at this, and when that happens they will be forced to sell their assets for a low price and lose way more money than what they could have lost if they simply created that emergency fund.

Of course it is very important to prepare funds for emergency needs first before we start investing because if we do not prepare in advance for emergency fund needs then the investment we make will be disrupted if we experience emergency needs and we have to sell before time and also we will not get profit from making the investment.

When we have prepared funds for unexpected needs, of course when we make an investment and experience emergency needs, of course we will not experience difficulties regarding this because we have prepared it and it also does not interfere with the investment we make so that we will get a profit from the investment we make.

Despite our best efforts there are instances where sticking rigorously to a plan becomes challenging due to the unpredictable nature of life.

I think making a plan for an unrealized profit is a bad thing to do, you can only plan for what is already cashout and not what is still in the air doing zeros and one through its protocol. As some colleagues have laid out, don't invest in bitcoin with the money you cannot afford to lose, money you don't have plans. It is unreal to say there is money you can say you can afford to lose but its best done this way so that your expectation will not go beyond the normal line because when you do and things don't fall out as expected, you might not like seeing the view of bitcoin.

About the plan, there is no alternative to it, the goal still remains the same. I'm glad to see that $20 is now a thing of the past but I know a time will come when everyone will be saying they wish they had bought bitcoin at $20k or below because it is going to be like buying Bitcoin at $1k some years ago. Speculations aside, the adoption is another thing that gives me a vote of confidence, see Blackrock and the rest all want to have Bitcoin ETF, it might be the best as being a decentralized asset but anything for adoption is welcome in my own opinion.

[DeathAngel]

My plan stays the same as it always was. I got in quite early so I sell some during each bull run, I make good use of that money, improve my life, try to get passive income & also buy some of the bitcoin back at more than 50% lower than what I sold at during the inevitable bear market that follows. It’s a fool proof system so far.

[AicecreaME]

My investment plan is all good 'till now.

However, my others decisions, for example buying a car and building a house always not goes to plan, it's always been postponed due to various things. Maybe it is because I always broadcast it to social media and to my relatives, maybe they are jinxing it, that's why. So, I changed some things, I never broadcast it anymore, I just do my own things and flex it when I'm done.

[inthelongrun]

Life has a lot of ups and downs. So it is vital to have a futuristic plan. There's a general plan where as much as possible you have to stick to it no matter what. And I risked a lot over the years to stick to it. The smaller plans are when we can make adjustments. I already achieved financial freedom some years ago but I became too lax and I never thought that money no matter how big or small could be easily burned in one single bad decision. So I started all over again. My early retirement plan is paused. Since 2022 I have barely hung out and traveled because the plan is to focus on saving in order to invest. I am mostly into bitcoin and a few altcoins as I am banking big on this cycle. I even sold all my remaining stocks a few months ago.

[Questat]

Currently, I have nothing to modify my plans as I saw that it was still working well and the output seems too positive. But yes, it can be subject to change if it is never effective anymore and that is normal.

In order for us to say "if it is a need for us to stop, modify, and continue, we must also be aware of our situation. I don't think it is a good idea to change our strategies and plans if it is not necessary. Losing is always a part of our investment but losing once or twice was not enough to think about changing it if that is not often happen.

It is true, in life it cannot be denied that sometimes there are always things that do not match our expectations. Because there are people who control this life, and we can only plan and live it. So no one knows whether our plans will come true or not. Likewise in bitcoin investment. I'm also sure there are a handful of investors who have plans, but those plans don't run smoothly.
But for me personally
So far the investments I have made in Bitcoin are still well organized and still in accordance with the plans I made at the beginning. So if you look at it from the perspective of my life, it's going smoothly. However, if you look at it from a planning aspect, I personally have planned this bitcoin investment as well as possible.

One aspect that has made it easier for me so far to invest in Bitcoin is regarding the use of capital. I personally always use cold hard cash and have no plans to use the money.
Another aspect is certain, studying the science related to bitcoin investment to the fullest. These are things like learning to choose a safe wallet, a safe exchange, learning how to control emotions and also learning other important things. Then the aspect that is no less important is that I personally always pray to the creator of this natural earth so that my bitcoin investment will always run smoothly.

So in conclusion, we as humans cannot predict with certainty whatever we plan, including what the end result or journey will be like when investing in bitcoin. However, we as humans are given the advantage of perfect intelligence to minimize all the worst possibilities and strengthen the predictions of the plans we have made with this intelligence.

Yes if you already have the best plan in your opinion and it still functions well then yes I think there is nothing wrong with continuing to use the same method if it is really effective and useful for your life, and yes it is true that basically everything including planning can be changed when it is no longer functioning, and no other than everyone will experience everything in his life, ups and downs in terms of his economy which on the other hand has an influence on the finances that you want to budget for investing and if you feel that your economy has begun to weaken due to something that happened such as losing your main job then there you must immediately change your investment plan because obviously your strengths in terms of the economy will be reduced. which on the other hand has an influence on the finances that you want to budget for investing and if you feel that your economy has begun to weaken due to something that happened such as losing your main job then there you must immediately change your investment plan because obviously your strength in terms of finance has begun to weaken.

And yes of course the chance of loss will always be a part that will never be missed from the name of investment, and also yes in terms of investment management and planning is also the same, if indeed the strategy or method that you often use seems no longer effective for now or in certain conditions then I think there is nothing wrong for you to change or modify it as long as you can really do it and consider from various sides.

Life comes at us in many different ways. Sometimes it seems as if life was waiting for you to make a plan, set a goal, or have a target before it brings its mirage of challenges from all corners. Some people spend eight years in the university for a four year degree. Some people got their GED after they had grown up kids. We all have our stories to tell. I have had to even abandon some plans entirely for new ones because modifying or adjusting them wasn't just working out right. At other times, I just let my life go on autopilot because all has happened and I cannot handle them all. That is life. So we move on.

That's good I hope your investment can continue to run according to the plan that you have implemented buddy and also yes I hope you can remain firm on some precautions that you have made because it can make you more awake and with that your planning will continue to run according to what you want.


In the problem of your planning for other things such as always failing when you want to build a house and buy a car, honestly in my opinion there seems to be something wrong with you, I mean there is something wrong with the way you manage your finances, because I think that by broadcasting it to social media or telling your relatives it will not have much effect. I think you need to check your finances especially in terms of your expenses, if there are expenses for something that you don't really need then I think avoid these expenses and focus on your goals to allocate money to things you want such as building a house and buying a car, I think so.

No plan regardless of how detailed it could be can be implemented in the exact way you wanted it, and this is not only because of the changing circumstances that may surround you, but also because you can change as well during the process, and things that you thought were possible and easy to achieve are not that way and you only realize this once you learn more about the market, so it is obvious that I had to adjust several times my plans and my objectives, but despite all of that I still think I am doing well enough and I hope to do even better once the next bull run comes.

[Hypnosis00]

Well, no plan is made to fit perfectly into any situation which is why we can never expect that it will work perfectly, yet failure can still be possible. But yeah, it doesn't mean that it goes like that always as sometimes it works good but in the case it still incurs losses, modification is the next step. This is why we have Plan A and Plan B it is just an option where we think which one will function well. But it is not necessarily we have to push B if Plan A still gains some failures because our main goal is to reach Plan A.

Well, with such a volatile and unpredictable investment like bitcoin, changes are more fixed than sticking to your well-structured plan. No matter how you try to pursue the success of your investment by following your original plan, there are always instances that have turned into challenges that will try to ruin your investment plan and that you are left with no choice than to change or reverse so as not to harm your total investment.

While this is not a good option for majority but sometimes its also healthy to change your investment plan at some point because by taking a little risk, you are going to free yourself from market panicking, and instead you can stick to your long -term investment goal as how you imagined it from the start. At the end of the day, modifying your original plan is still not a bad thing if its the only way so you can achieve your original goal in your investment.

As long as there is a problem now, don't add more for the future; instead, it's okay to add a solution for your problem. And if you have entered into an investment, believe that your capital can be turned around to make a profit in the end.

The only important thing is that you always do research so that the money you use here is not wasted, and you know that it is not easy to find a way to earn money just to survive and feed the family or people who are important in our lives. Always take a risk when you join any investment opportunities.

Changes or modifications to a plan is inevitable if you have any hope of archiving your goal.

Plans aren’t meant to be static but flexible. That’s why we’ve hit plan B, C and as much as you can make. Remember, whatever is static does break and as such, it would be awful should you have a static plan that don’t susceptible to change. The main point there is the goal and so long as, your plans can be modified to still alllow you archive that goal, your good to go.
Modifications to the plan isn’t a bad thing but, a need to do in other to archive your goals.
I can’t count ho many times I’ve had to change the plan or tactics and still be good.

[dothebeats]

Fortunately I'm still sticking with my timeline. I'm still buying coins every now and then, and have no plans on stopping until such time that the price hopefully reaches $50k again. There's really no point to sell as early as now, unless you really need the money and you can use the financial help of your bitcoins. But yeah, typically no one really uses their investment funds for expenses and other emergencies. There should be a separate fund for that. If not, you will never have a successful investment even if it's crypto or other assets.

[bhadz]

Unexpected and needs some modification. I always come along with some events that I need to some adjustments because I don't see any turn in my life that I need to prepare for those things. But this time, I'll stick to my plan about holding it until next year, and hopefully, I'll not going to touch any of the amounts and will still survive the tempting part of spending some of it on the things that I may like. Instead that I'll be spending them quickly, I'm reverting to the plan of buying more whenever I am trying to buy something unimportant. Because that's how I am getting caught with my holdings for my plans when I want some nonessential things to buy.

[gunhell16]

Well, if we have plans and we know that they are good and will help our personal lives and the future of our loved ones, we will try as much as possible to make these plans come true. It's not just for ourselves.

Let me take myself as an example. We know that most of the members of this forum know that the upcoming Bitcoin halving is near, and it is also possible that as we are approaching the halving of Bitcoin, most of us here are taking advantage of the time and opportunity that we can accumulate cryptocurrencies that we think can give us a breakthrough when the bull run arrives between 2024 and 2025.

So, that means we are trying to have holdings when the season of halving and bull runs comes. This depends on whether we will improve our lives or get rich suddenly. It depends on the crypto assets we have.

[savetheFORUM]

I got in quite early so I sell some during each bull run, I make good use of that money, improve my life, try to get passive income & also buy some of the bitcoin back at more than 50% lower than what I sold at during the inevitable bear market that follows. It’s a fool proof system so far.

Nothing can be a better plan than that, I must say. Many people can't stick to their plans, not because they don't want to, but because they can't. The main problem with people is that they invest money that they would need some time shortly. When that time comes, they are compelled to sell their assets just because they don't have enough money saved other than their investments to cover up the emergency that has come up all of a sudden.

This is the reason why it's important for everyone to only invest the money that they know they won't need any time soon because the market is highly unpredictable and one cannot know when it will go up or down and the investment can get stuck for years in case there is a bear run after the investment has been made.

Without a doubt it is necessary to have some funds in reserve in the case some unexpected circumstances happened and we needed some money to deal with them, but this can be very difficult for most people to achieve as they do not really have healthy financial habits at all, so they spend too much money, take bad debt and save an amount of money that is too low each month, assuming they save anything, which explains why it is so difficult for them to become investors and hold their coins for the long term.

Life on its own is not a linear journey as many unforeseen circumstances can always happen. I do not think that investment plans will always come out as expected; some plans may fail and some may work, what is important is that we learn to adapt and make changes to our plans. Many investors have calculated how much they'll invest into Bitcoin each month but because of one new life challenge or the other, they are most times forced to scrap the plan (only a few modify and keep to it due to personal discipline that they can't break). When you make a plan (be it an investment plan or not), just be open to changes.

Without a doubt it is necessary to have some funds in reserve in the case some unexpected circumstances happened and we needed some money to deal with them, but this can be very difficult for most people to achieve as they do not really have healthy financial habits at all, so they spend too much money, take bad debt and save an amount of money that is too low each month, assuming they save anything, which explains why it is so difficult for them to become investors and hold their coins for the long term.

Therefore, we should have an emergency fund set aside so that just in case something unexpected happens, we have funds that can be stolen so that we can supply the important things, right?

But of course, regardless of our previous plans, it should still happen, as if this is a separate emergency fund for the unexpected moment. It's different because we are ready for everything. So if your plan is to invest, that should still come true.

[Latviand]

Fortunately I'm still sticking with my timeline. I'm still buying coins every now and then, and have no plans on stopping until such time that the price hopefully reaches $50k again. There's really no point to sell as early as now, unless you really need the money and you can use the financial help of your bitcoins. But yeah, typically no one really uses their investment funds for expenses and other emergencies. There should be a separate fund for that. If not, you will never have a successful investment even if it's crypto or other assets.

Same thing, I don't plan to go astray with my plans too because I feel like if I ever do that, it's going to make me feel like I've cheated on myself in a way that I broke my promise. Waiting for the bitcoin value that I've set to sell makes it easier to stick to my plans which is great because my plan is pretty simple although I feel like I am not consistently following a part of my plan that involves buying whenever I can but I can't really blame myself for that as I am a working man and the bills won't pay itself so that's I guess the only problem I have with the plan, I think I haven't astray even if I don't consistently invest in bitcoin whenever I get my paycheck but for everyone who will read this, you can judge for yourself.

[CageMabok]

Therefore, we should have an emergency fund set aside so that just in case something unexpected happens, we have funds that can be stolen so that we can supply the important things, right?

It's not wrong and it's also quite right, but I wouldn't say that emergency funds are funds that can be stolen because these funds are what we save for ourselves to face emergency situations in life. I prefer to call it a savings fund that we deliberately reserve for something that is considered quite important in our respective lives.

But of course, regardless of our previous plans, it should still happen, as if this is a separate emergency fund for the unexpected moment. It's different because we are ready for everything. So if your plan is to invest, that should still come true.

Unexpected things must be addressed early, because current living conditions are not always the same as past living conditions. So preparations such as emergency funds have become more important for everyone now, especially for those who like to invest in various things so they always need reserve funds and also emergency funds so as not to interfere with their own investments.

[Mate2237]

Because of this I created a thread in the local board that "if you want to invest in bitcoin you have to do something so that you will not touch or use your investment bitcoin. But whereby you are not do anything and only depends on the bitcoin investment then definitely your plans will be altered". " But whereby you are doing something and you invest in bitcoin then you investment will last and the plans will work out successfully. Making your plans realistic is one the best thing in the investment of bitcoin.

The things that will affect your bitcoin investment should be really with before you start the investment so that those things will not come and disturbed you in the future.

We often advise newcomers asking about successful Bitcoin investment strategies to have a well-structured plan and stick to it no matter what. Nevertheless if there is anything I have learned is that in bitcoin investment it  is rarely a linear journey. And despite our best intentions and meticulous planning, unforeseen circumstances can disrupt our initial plans. For the community I want to know, has your investment plan always unfolded as expected or have unexpected events caused you to pause or modify your plan? Despite our best efforts there are instances where sticking rigorously to a plan becomes challenging due to the unpredictable nature of life.

Life always makes adjustments to any plan, and when it comes to such a rapidly changing (in terms of price) asset as the bitcoin, then adjustments to the investment plan are simply inevitable. No matter how ideal the plan is, it is impossible to take into account all the factors that will create holes / spaces in the plan. Therefore, the best investor is the one who adapts and adapts to the changing market faster than others. I assume that it is necessary to be exactly like this.

This is in fact what everyone should do, emergency fund should always be there untouched for unforseen challenges but the fact that we live across different countries, there will be limitations to how this is easy to make by some people. Many will even have the means for such funds but will lack standard health facility. In my country, even the politicians run down to other western countries for treatment anytime they got sick and at the same time, there are people who don't even have the means because of high level of employment.

I used to dream of becoming a medical doctor and along the line, life screw me up of admission denied, I ended up as an Engineer and today I'm a registered engineer among the Nigerian Society of Engineers and I'm proud of it. Although, I'm not near where I want to be yet but with time, I will break boundaries by my prayers and abilities, this I believe will happen.

It is very difficult to allocate money for an emergency fund in today's conditions. I can understand that this fund is very important and needs to be funded, but I think the number of people who can achieve this is very small. If a person has the opportunity to allocate this fund but cannot, it shows that he or she does not have healthy financial habits. The important thing at this stage is to use financial information in a positive way. I distinguish between those who have the means and those who do not, because financial power is needed to create this fund. Those who have this power must acquire healthy financial habits in order to create this fund.

If they can limit or eliminate unnecessary financial expenses, they may have sufficient means to make this fund.

[Promocodeudo]

Honestly, bitcoin is not an investment that one needs to go into without knowledge, I don't know the person who has been tutoring you on Bitcoin but all I know is that Bitcoin is an investment that requires patience, you need to know how to make use of the wallets and the particular wallet to use either custodian or exchange, before investing in btc you have been sure of what you want because you don't expect to start making money immediately if that is your motives or expectations, I promise that I might not work like that for you, investing little by little as you can afford, it is better to avoid using all the funds you have for other things to invest here but if you can do so without such action affecting you so be it.

Just be like this;

-Be versatile
-Be open-minded
-Be easy to adapt and move on
-Expect the unexpected

Yes, on the time that we are just new into this market then we would really be thinking about straightforward in regarding with our plans and goals but due to market conditions or situations
then those earlier plans would really be having that kind of disruption or would really be derailed since you would really be needing to adjust basing up on the current thing that you are
experiencing on which adjustment is crucial or else you wont really be moving forward as the market would really be potentially be going against with your initial plans.

You would really be needing for yourself to be that adaptive or else you would really be that having a huge problem on progressing or simply being profitable within the market.
If its needed to be modified or changed then do it, dont hesitate on doing such thing because you wont really be that able to move forward if you do stick into those things
that you have set earlier. Market is unpredictable and there's no way that you could really be able to stick with those plans and make it happen because
there are lots of factors that it could really be able to changed up along the way.

Well, its actually a good start if you have solid plans on your investment, but that does mean that you should stick to your plan no matter what because even life is unpredictable and so is bitcoin investment. Most especially that you are dealing with such a highly volatile coin and its price fluctuations is high, so the best advice is learn to be flexible. Change your plan if its needed, but never change your goal because you will stick to it no matter what.

That's the challenge with bitcoin investment. You can't expect that its price will stay on top all the time, but it will definitely move up and down due to the market factors that could lead to create market price correction or simply sudden bearish market. When that happens, be more firm with your investment. Do not leave your investment hanging, but redirect your plan if its needed in order to achieve your constant goal in the end.

I didn't really have much of a plan at all for many years, basically scraping by and merely existing on casual wages. Got a lucky break with a decent IT job and opportunities have continued to open up since then. It's only when I started earning a fair amount it was possible to start realizing many goals, like travelling and buying property. Those things felt so out of reach on a low wage they were almost not worth thinking about. Skilling up is key in life and you have to learn to grab every chance you get to move up, because they can come out of nowhere. It can be scary and difficult at the beginning, but if you persevere then the rewards can be massive, so always try to be dynamic in your approach to life.

Life is full of surprises, and so are investments. It is very difficult to predict something that has never happened, especially investing in Cryptocurrency, so when you are at a crossroads you sometimes have to change your initial route to maintain safety. Neatly laid out scenarios sometimes need to be revised to prevent something bad from happening. Sticking to the initial plan depending on the amount of capital they have, investors who have financial burdens may choose the safe route in order to keep the value of their assets from decreasing. For this reason, we are always reminded to invest using cold money or money that is ready to lose.

[Porfirii]

In my case, I have a flexible plan, so I'm not sure what to answer, to be honest. On one hand, by improvising a little bit I'm modifying my long term plan but, on the other, I'm still sticking to it because I foresaw little deviations since the beginning.

I think that it is possible to have your cake and eat it too, so leaving aside the black or white formulation of the question made by the OP, I think that I'm sticking to my general plan, while pausing from time to time and making little modifications

Life and investments, particularly in the realm of cryptocurrency, are replete with unexpected twists and turns. The allure of cryptocurrency lies in its potential for exponential growth, like a wild roller coaster ride. While the prospect of rising profits is undoubtedly exciting, it's crucial to acknowledge the inherent volatility and risks associated with such ventures.

Cryptocurrencies those have decentralized nature and lack of regulation can be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, those offer freedom from fiat money and the potential for innovation. but it also exposes investors to a heightened degree of risk, as there are no safety nets to cushion against market fluctuations or fraudulent activities. The value of cryptocurrencies can swing wildly within a short period, often driven by speculation and hype rather than tangible fundamentals. This volatility can lead to dramatic gains or equally devastating losses, making it a high-risk, high-reward investment.

Despite our best efforts there are instances where sticking rigorously to a plan becomes challenging due to the unpredictable nature of life.

Sticking to your plan is only found in book. Because in reality, there's no such fixed and concrete plans when you are doing an investment most especially in such an unpredictable market. Although it's best if you are doing long-term preparation on your investment, but that does not free you from having unexpected events that may cause your investment to fail especially if you don't see it coming. It's better to stay open about the outcome of your investment, be flexible and transparent as you can't control whatever your investment has to offer.

However, whenever we see changes on our investment, that does not mean that we should stop from pursuing it but it becomes a big challenge for us on how we will come to succeed on it despite of its unpredictable outcome.

[BenCodie]

*relief sigh* "Well, that plan went perfectly"

I'm sure that's a saying that many who dare to follow Bitcoin on its journey by being active in the space have said many times (s)
Even in life, this would be a rarity and a luxury. Life will always through curveballs. Nothing goes to plan and the main part of life is the ability to problem solve to be able to continue doing what you are doing.

Of course, laboring or working with most of the time in your day is the alternative pathway, and a different story. Working for a fixed and secure income in comparison to trying to leap forward yourself is something that can easily go to plan. That is a part of the deal, after all.

The target of every investor is to stick to his/her investment but truly sometimes life, plans are unpredicted. Events can just occur that will distort the plans to stick to an investment.  When events occur their is nothing that can be done than change of plans, it is very important whenever their is a good flow of income it is an opportunity to invest the money very well because know one can tell if the flow of money can continue to flow in constantly.  

Life is full of up and down, this is why some people find it very difficult to continue with their decision to stick to their investment when financial burden hits them.

I have learned consistency is the key. So if I am not sticking with my plan and I am inconsistent, how much damage will it be to me if I am like that?
That's why I am always with my plan and I'll wait if it succeeds before taking any actions and will go to plan B. But if nothing yet is happening, I'll be consistent to what I've planned.
And that is like holding until I can without any panic selling.

[Iroh]

A plan, no matter how much thought was put into it before it was carefully put together for implementation is always open to change. Whenever we plan for the future, we should make our plans more flexible as the future is yet unknown making your plans open to failure.
Of course, adamantly sticking to a plan made for the short/long term future would be challenging as unforeseen circumstances could that wasn’t thought about nor planned for could arise threatening the feasibility of the plans.
I’ve had to change already made plans midway through as things weren’t going as hoped/planned out and needed some changes to the original plan.

When you are convinced that there is no system or plan that is free of loopholes, you will certainly be understanding of all the obstacles that you will face as you seek to implement any plan.  Changing plans may be a temporary period to correct the course, and a good investor is the one who can recognize these opportunities to correct his course before it ends up with failed results.  I personally respect those who adopt the strategy of changing plans when I see the number of people who retreat in the face of the first obstacle and end their plans in the first place.

Holding Bitcoin is the best approach if an investor wants the minimum risk.  And with plans, consistency is ok but we should always have an alternative option if the plan isn't working as expected.  I agree that we must have a secondary plan and an alternative of it just in case the primary and secondary will not work in the given situation.

If there is nothing wrong with the plan, it is best to be consistent but once flaw is observed, I think it is much better to adjust to be able to fix that flaws seen on the plan.  This is what we called adaption, if we are able to adapt and do necessary things that the scenario needed, we will find our selves successful in every investment venture we made.

I agree with that. Holding Bitcoin has been the best plan to stick to and people don't realize that until they miss the whole point of holding.
They're jealous with people bragging their profits with the altcoins that they have become lucky and then still, they don't get the whole thing out of it.
That's why they have to modify their plans because they don't stick to the plan and think that other's plan are way better than theirs.

Of course, we should follow our plan or strategy here, but for sure it's not going to be linear, so we have to modify it as we go along. In my case, I have plan to just continue to accumulate no matter what, but there will be weeks or months that I can't buy because there is other prioritize in life. Or worst, you need to withdraw some because of emergencies. I know it sucks if this happens, but nevertheless, this is life and it's not going to be perfect.

There will be a lot of challenges that we are going to face. However, we should stay positive and then just continue to grow our bitcoin if everything settles down a bit. Just like in the next 6 months or so, we will experience another bitcoin halving, so we should be prepare and save for the long run.

[Blitzboy]

Stress can happen when you are too rigid. How was my trip? Unpredictability has been a part of the routine. Have plans? I did make them. Followed to them? In some cases, no. Why? Things move at strange times, especially in the crypto world. How to get it? Be flexible. Getting used to market changes or new rules isnt enough; you also need to be able to "flow" with the pace of life. I have learned to be open to change and to turn when I need to. This method is not random; it is strategic. To learn from the ups and downs of the market, you need to stay alert and ready to change your tactics. The world isnt a straight line, its more like a river, and Im learning to "flow" with it instead of fighting it. In the end? A trip where following plans isnt as important as being able to change well. BE ready for life's unexpected turns

[bayu7adi]

Once you've deviated from the plan, it's good to take a pause and evaluate what's going on. However, if the core of our plan is still robust, and our confidence remains high, it's wise to stick to what we believe in. The end of a struggle can be either a failure or a success... there's no need to dwell on failure because, at least, we gave it a shot.

I'm sure many people prepare layered plans for each battle. We often hear about Plan A, Plan B, and even Plan X. That's okay, as long as the goal remains the same and consistency can be maintained, I believe everything will be fine. What needs attention is, before switching plans, make sure the main plan can no longer help. So, I choose to pause for a moment and consider whether the plan can still proceed or not. Never rush to change plans because sometimes that's not good either.

[Gaza13]

No matter how good a person is at making a plan, there will always be obstacles or something unexpected that confronts him. If we experience a big problem, it would be better to face the problem first. It will indeed be a problem in our plans for investing, plans may fail but goals must not be extinguished. Indeed, we don't want what we have planned to fail, it all happens to us, but what can we do, humans cannot avoid it.

Executing according to plan will definitely be very difficult, because it is almost certain that in the investment journey there will be many things that happen beyond our expectations because Bitcoin price movements are quite fast and significant.
And after all that happens, psychologically our plans will be shaken a little and that's where consistency is needed to remain patient in waiting until we reach the goal we have planned.

However, things outside of planning that we don't want are problems in real life that interfere with investment, perhaps a little difficult to overcome, for example, the need for money is so urgent that whether we like it or not, we have to cancel the investment right away.

In terms of my experience in investing in Bitcoin, I have to admit that at the beginning I made a lot of mistakes, such as changing plans in the middle of the road because of panic which resulted in losses and also impatience, but slowly we can overcome things like that with the many experiences we have go through.

I like your phrase "plans may fail, but goals don't die". That's great, I hope many people have this principle. With the failures they experience, they must make it a lesson for the future so that it does not happen again when doing the same thing. With the failures they experience they also have to study the problems that have made them fail in achieving a goal, by studying it well and finding a solution to handle it will reduce the risks that exist, by understanding and studying the things that make them fail it can make them calm and not panic when they experience the same problem because they already know what they have to do to solve the existing problems.
 But risks will certainly exist in any case, the rest depends on us running it. To be able to do the best, in my opinion, you have to learn everything at the beginning by understanding every aspect. By considering it carefully. That way they can start something and run it well.

You are the ones who would really be making such decision specially on ff;

1. If plan A fails, then proceed to plan B.
-Back up plans would really be that always relevant and something that recommended because changes and sudden occurrence of unexpected events could be there.

2. Be versatile
-If you do see that you initial plans didnt work out, then make another one. Dont be that easily get discouraged or being derailed
with your goal and target

3. Emotion control or moderation
-This is important most of the time, due to unpredictable circumstances then we are just humans which its normal to make out
those kind of reactions which would really be potentially be changing up your initial plans that had been drawn out.

As long we are really that seeing that we are still in good path or way then proceed and dont stop. 

[lienfaye]

Sticking to the plan is better. In fact that's also the advice we usually say to the beginners. But there are times unexpected things happened that lead us to make some changes and it is inevitable sometimes.

As much as possible I want to stick to my original plan, however when there's an emergency and I need funds, my Bitcoin is what I can count on even I plan to hold for long period. Hence even the reason for the sudden changes are not what I planned for, if this the only way then I'm not hesitating to make some changes. So don't pressure yourself and learn to adjust because in the end we're doing this for our own benefit.

Good discourse from you as an educational effort. but usually what we plan is very mature and we have calculated the risks and their reciprocal impacts, but there are unexpected things that can indirectly impact the physiology of our trading, for example.

The efforts made if you want to trade are always to use really pure money for trading. For other purposes, set it in another post and don't bother messing with what you have planned. I think that way it will run normally.

There is definitely a middle ground here that can be used. I am not saying that everyone will use it, but that middle ground is not really all that shocking. I am talking about a situation where you could definitely make it work, you just have to have a good understanding of income and passive income.

If you end up working, earning a salary like most people, or you could be a business owner too, that means you have an income that you work for and then you could use some percent of it, as high as possible of course, to put it aside as a savings. This is where the tricky part starts, if you put the money aside to something that will just go up or down, then it is investment, but if you put it in an investment that makes you earn an income, that would be passive income. Think of savings account, or a stock with dividends, and in our case; staking.

It will always not go into our plan as life is very unpredictable. Maybe you plan to put 10% of your monthly salary into Bitcoin but this month you haven't as you'll need to pay some hospital bills. No matter what you'll do to stick to your plan there will be circumstances in which it won't allow you. That is where we need to sacrifice or modify it. That's happened to me mostly this year. There's tons of unexpected stuff that needs to go through but what's important is that you won't forget your plan. Maybe you'll delay it now but make sure you'll take it in the future when it allows you.

Well, we all know that life journey is like someone riding on a roller coaster, things are never always as we plan it most especially for someone who is just starting life and struggling towards becoming financially stable.

I personally have had plans on how to go about my bitcoin investment, Infact, by the starting of this year, I remember I had written in my new year resolution that, before this year ends, I would have atleast, 1 full bitcoin as an achievement for the year, but then, alot of unexpected things have happened, which have made me fall really short on this plan, the year is almost ending and right now, I don't have up to half bitcoin in my holdings, it's really crazy though.

So, for me, I believe this is not an experience that is Peculiar to me alone, this is happens to almost everyone, except for those who have made alot of money that unexpected events that require money will not make them change their investment plans or goals.

Honestly, bitcoin is not an investment that one needs to go into without knowledge, I don't know the person who has been tutoring you on Bitcoin but all I know is that Bitcoin is an investment that requires patience, you need to know how to make use of the wallets and the particular wallet to use either custodian or exchange, before investing in btc you have been sure of what you want because you don't expect to start making money immediately if that is your motives or expectations, I promise that I might not work like that for you, investing little by little as you can afford, it is better to avoid using all the funds you have for other things to invest here but if you can do so without such action affecting you so be it.

But, are there any investment that you can go to without any knowledge in your head? I'm sure there isn't because when we say investment, it always has its own risk. If not, there is no way you can multiply your money out of it. BTC is mainly a currency but it can also work well as an asset. Investing requires a patience, and it can scale as there are multiple investment terms. For those who lack in patience they can also go for mid and short-term. If that wasn't enough they can do trading instead as it was instant.

The only downside is it's not easy. So patience will still be needed here in the learning part. Like I said earlier, we all invest for the money. This is the thing that we want and motivates us. So, do not say that it won't work.

Good discourse from you as an educational effort. but usually what we plan is very mature and we have calculated the risks and their reciprocal impacts, but there are unexpected things that can indirectly impact the physiology of our trading, for example.

Let's just say that the impact that occurs beyond our expectations is a kind of fate even though we have applied mature discourse and efforts with special risk considerations in the plans that we have prepared ourselves through some education. Everyone will only follow clear directions, either through education or by asking people who are experienced in the field we are planning. So just carry out the plan according to the directions and research that we already know about in any way.

The efforts made if you want to trade are always to use really pure money for trading. For other purposes, set it in another post and don't bother messing with what you have planned. I think that way it will run normally.

All work that requires capital must be properly organized in such a way that the work can run quite well without any chaos arising after it is carried out. Trading can be considered as a job with a certain level of risk and as you said above, everyone who wants to do it must of course go through risk calculations and careful planning so that the capital provided for trading must be clear. This means that the capital that will be used is money that will not be used for anything else.

There are literally a lot of pauses and modifications to your plan even if you make a lot of plans like plan A, plan B.... and plan Z, cause there are a lot of possible outcomes that might happen that we could not think about. For sure, the flow of life might not follow the plan we have in our mind, but having a goal will help you to keep forward and for that reason would help you to be consistent in investing. Your plan would be just your guide in your journey, but you will really have to be prepared for unexpected events, for example, you accumulated a lot of Bitcoin recently, but suddenly you really need to have a huge amount of funds for emergencies as well then the market went down, things like that. In this industry it's really a must to be cautious about your decision and not invest money that you cannot afford to lose cause in the worst-case scenario, you would be the one who will suffer. Remember that the market is still volatile, you cannot predict the accurate outcome but for sure you could do speculations.

I bought bitcoin quite early and I had a plan to save up and maybe take some profit if it really goes up in future, but life verifies your every plan. There was a moment when I moved to another city and needed to remodel my home and I needed money and that was probably the worst time to sell anything (at the end of 2016) but I thought to myself that my bitcoins were mostly bought at $500-600 and the price was something like $900 so why not take profit and take that $300 per coin and so I did. I sold and got some pathetic sum out that allowed me to buy supplies and a year later the price was at $20k...
After that I've decided to stick to the plan whatever happens and I did.
