Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?

Also we have the ever-present question regarding how much we get for our money and how far the dollar had been debased in the 8 or 12 years that we are measuring our progress and/or figuring out if we might need to change aspects of our bitcoin accumulation and/or our bitcoin portfolio management.  Many of us anticipate that based on the way that bitcoin had been designed that it is quite likely to appreciate more and better than the dollar and other fiat in order to also account for the dabasement of such dollars (fiat).

Saving money and later losing value is a financial loss, but if you can invest in Bitcoin in a long-term plan instead of keeping that money in the bank and keep the investment for that long period, then at the end of that long period, you will get a good return on your money, but in terms of fiat value. In a word, investing in Bitcoin is more profitable than saving fiat in all aspects.

No doubt, Bitcoin is among the best, if not even the asset that store of value...So it seems more profitable to save your money in Bitcoin than to save it in fiat...But then folks should know that the outcome of Bitcoin is unknown, most folks will only anticipate but they cant for sure tell if Bitcoin will even surpass their future expectations, that is why it is expected that folks only invest in Bitcoin using that their extra cash, which of course is the money that they can afford to loose...

It's not always about extra cash or let me say there is nothing about extra cash in terms of investment. You as an investor needs to be very intentional, planning and making up your mind before any decision you take. Be it how much you're investing with or how long are you holding, because that's what makes you an investor. You are not investing because you have some extra money you have no use for but rather because you have seen, analyze and understand Bitcoin and you know it's benefits and game. You know what it can do and how it will help you so you invest with an amount that you intentionally keep for that purpose and not and extra cash which you don't have use for.
It is better you keep that extra cash aside as emergency funds in case of any emergency, you won't have to sell your Bitcoin when you didn't want to

Discretionary funds is the amount of an individual’s income left over after paying taxes and essential expenses - so you might as well call it extra cash. You might want to check that out. Having an extra cash enables folks to handle non-essentials wants, make savings and Investments. So yes it is always about Discretionary income (extra cash). Folks have no control on how Bitcoin operates and the factors behind it, yet if they choose to invest in Bitcoin based on their budgetary considerations (what you call very intentional planning) while using only discretionary funds they can start a Bitcoin investment journey.

Yeah, it is a financial loss, and it is something people need to pay attention to.  The crazy part is that a lot of people out there are actually losing money without even realizing it.. They feel safe because their account balance is still the same number, but the value of the money is quietly reducing.

That thing doing the damage is inflation.  And it did not just start today, it has always been part of the system and it is not going anywhere.  Every year, your money buys and become less, even though it still look untouched in your bank account. That is the silent loss so many people ignore..

I talked little about how inflation really works here inflation

The only real way to fight inflation is to put your money into an asset that can beat it, not just preserve it.   And obviously Bitcoin can and has proven to be one of the strongest assets.  It is scarce, it has long term growth, and all it take to beat inflation..

Because the best time to accumulate is mostly when there is a dip and the price or value of Bitcoin is low as at that point.

Your statement here could be contradictory and misleading most especially to the newbies as it might go a long way to suggesting that they will have to wait until when bitcoin price is low before they can start accumulating and investing in bitcoin. Personally I think that as a long term bitcoin investor, the best time to accumulate bitcoin is when we have our discretionary income ready for use, and not only when the price is low. Once am individual is able to figure out his or her discretionary income, then is the best time to buy bitcoin and hold for long term goal. The goal is to be buying consistently or perhaps persistently at any market price with just our discretionary income using the DCA method to accumulate either weekly or monthly depending on how our income flows so we can gradually build up our portfolio instead of buying only when its dip which will rather slow our investment because we might be waiting for the dip and it might not occur soonest or never at all. If along the line as we are buying regularly and the dip presents itself, it will only be an added advantage for us to accumulate more at such a reduced price.

From a business point of view the best time to buy Bitcoin is when it dip so you can get more profit when it pumps but the problem is that Bitcoin is volatile and you don't know how dip it will go. This strategy is especially good for traders who wants quick profit but it's not necessary for investors who wants to keep buying for many years, if they see Bitcoin being far more valuable in the next 8 years for instance they will not wait for dip before they buy. Use amounts that you are comfortable with from your discretionary funds without any pressures of expecting dip before you buy as a long term investor.

This all depends on our goals in investing in Bitcoin whether they're long-term or short-term. Because each goal will have different strategies to implement, if it's for the short term waiting for a decline might be best. However, if your goal is long-term neither decline nor increase matters because you'll continue to conduct DCA for the long term. That's why it's important to set investment goals so you can implement the right strategy which will keep you committed to your strategy and achieve your goals.

The best advice when investing in Bitcoin is to aim for the long term as all strategies can be used. You can implement a DCA strategy responsibly and when a decline occurs you can also take advantage of this opportunity to increase your Bitcoin purchases. With a long-term goal you won't even consider selling before achieving your goal.

A business person needs liquid cash for most of his business ventures and so, even when you are looking at bitcoin investment from a business stand point, it is still more safer to stick to a DCA investment approach as it helps you push out whatever amount you have saved up for your investment and never get to the point of eventually spending it all up for something that is likely an emergency need and never being able to spend the amount in accumulating your proposed bitcoin stack.

regardless the kind of work you are doing be it the normal end of the month salary job or a business that demands the use of fiat on a daily basis, you can always make proper plan so that do not spend the amount you are supposed to use in investing for the wrong reason and that you do not give excuses as per your business being the reason why you are not investing as well as you should.

Every investors should have their own goal because there is a time when the investors have decide to sold all of their investment assets because already to achieve their profit target and speaking about how to make bitcoin for investment asset i think it works for long term only because by holding bitcoin for certain time especially for years you will gets much benefit from bitcoin and the most important is your profit will be much higher rather than to used bitcoin for short term only moreover with the current prices of bitcoin which very high it's hard to expect movement prices 10% or above in the short term so, that's why plenty of people still suggest if you want your investment value increases especially in bitcoin then long term purposes is the right strategy

Currently as I have learned so far ,I have been informed that in Bitcoin investments that their is no perfect time to buy or to sell ,that if you have money to invest you should invest because the more you are weating for Bitcoin to decrease before you buy that's more time you are wasting,so the perfect time is to invest in to Bitcoin at anytime time ,but do it with your spear money (descretionary income )so that if the investment doesn't go well you can't even regret it,so invest at anytime ,to be at the safer side you can
sell at the top and buy at the bottom.

Wow! lover boy you have tried to make a very valuable point by saying that you are "informed that in Bitcoin that there is no perfect time to buy or to sell". For sure I believe and work with no perfect time to buy Bitcoin and having no perfect time to buy Bitcoin is somehow talking about or related to DCA strategy. But you also saying that there is no perfect time to sell is in a way implying that long-term approach to Bitcoin doesn't really matter since if you buy Bitcoin today (which is a perfect time to buy Bitcoin) tomorrow (as in 25th January 2026) can become the perfect time to sell and this is not long term but trading or gambling.

He is wrong to say that there is no perfect time to sell bitcoin because this simply means we can sell bitcoin at any time regardless of whether we are in profit or not. I do believe that long term investors do have investment timeline as per how long they intend to hold there bitcoin before they will sell.
As for perfect time to buy, the only time I do consider perfect time to buy is when we have discretionary income e buy bitcoin with.

If i should contribute on these discussions and i will say that i understand the point LOVER BOY was trying to make here, that when it comes to buying of Bitcoin that there is no perfect time for those gamblers that keep on waiting for the bear market to happen before considering to buy or sell off Bitcoin, so it is always advisable to buy Bitcoin aggressively as you can at any given time than regretting like his said earlier that once you miss the market opportunities all in the name of waiting to when have to buy.

Opportunities in Bitcoin investment do not always arise, so those who wait for opportunities are basically foolish. Because the current opportunity has been created in Bitcoin to buy Bitcoin, those who wait for more Bitcoin price dips will be basically foolish. Because the current Bitcoin price has been corrected considerably, it is the best idea to invest according to the DCA method. The DCA method plays the biggest role in buying Bitcoin from the market at any time, and the Bitcoin DCA method plays the biggest role in maintaining the investment.

The only way and means of having a successful investment in Bitcoin, is buying Bitcoin consistently and not waiting for an opportunity that we might not get, which is why the best possible way to stay ahead and having that chance of having a successful investment is by buying bitcoin on a regular basis, those who wait for Bitcoin price drops are people who are basically short term investors, no actually they’re not investors they’re just people who are traders and are most interested in having quick profits, and that is obviously a terrible way of buying bitcoin, the only key for success is buying bitcoin on a regular basis and holding for a long term period.
