I think that people who have A big capital tend to Invest in bitcoin Short Term, because they have a big capital and a short term less percentage profit can be a Good and Healthy Amount. But most of these people have to bear loses as Bitcoin is a Volatile Asset. While People who want to Create wealth, or a good amount from scratch then a good strategy like DCA might prove beneficial for them, because small amounts compound over time and Bitcoin also Increases the value of the Fiat getting compounded. I think for people like me DCA is Best.
I don't think that it's about who have a large capital or not, what I think is that it's more about the mindset of the said investor, because a trader can still have a small capital and may likely trade it just for quick profit, and that is how someone may have a huge capital and still trade it because he has no interest in investing, so what am trying say is that, it's more about the mindset of the person involve than the figure used to execute their wish.
You may have large capital but you don't have the knowledge of BTC investment, because you will be afraid to invest any amount of money in BTC. For those that have the knowledge of BTC they can take any risk that will not going to lead them to death, because they understand how decentralized currency move in the bear season and bull season, which is the confidence some of them have compare to those that have the capital but they don't have the knowledge of BTC investment.

Not just only a mindset but knowledge about BTC hodling, when you have the knowledge to know the type of coin to hodl in the short period of time or long period of time, it will make you comfortable when waiting for the bull market to hit the market before you can sell.

It seems to me as though most Investors’ see the investment into Bitcoin as a long-term game vs short-term with most people purchasing when they have disposable income and using the cash flow method of investing commonly referred to as dollar cost averaging to compensate for stress involved in timing the market. Understanding what you are investing in, as well as having patience during times of downturn is key to successful investing.
Well said, my brother, though Bitcoin's selling pressure could be so scary, once the person is not a novice, he should know that it's not the first time such is happening, and yet Bitcoin overcome. However, this shouldn't still make us foolish investors, we must be smart to be able to reap a better, smart and maximum dividends from our investments. This takes me to the: 1. strategy and 2. time/price of the investment. Bitcoin can't be afforded to be bought anyhow in the name of a strategy.

Take the DCA strategy that you mentioned as an example, imagine the person who bought Bitcoin with the DCA strategy when it was around $126,000, how helpful as that become? I believe we should, most importantly, respect Bitcoin's traditional cycle above whatever strategy we deploy, which can also cover-up correctly for the right time, and the right price for the buying.

If we look at the bitcoin price from around December 2024 until November 2025, the BTC price was mostly above $100k for a pretty large portion of that time, except the period between about February and April 2025 when the BTC prices were below $100k.

How is a brand new person supposed to proceed in regards to investing in bitcoin?  We likely had a lot of new investors in bitcoin since November 2024 - remember the Trump pump?  That Trump pump got a lot of attention, yet overall the whole of 2025 was not even super bullish, even though there were 4 times that the BTC price reached new ATHs in 2025 - there was $109k in January, $112k in May, $123k in July and $126k in October?

How are newbies no coiners or even low coiners (many newbies are low coiners, whether they realize it or not) supposed to navigate such kinds of prices?  Are you claiming that you haver some kind of systems?  What if their investment timeline is 4-10 years or longer, then aren't they going to end up in a decent place anyhow, especially after around 4-ish years of bitcoin accumulation?
‎A new person that want to invest in bitcoin, shouldn't put the price level as his main focus. Whether Bitcoin is at $60k or $120k, what matters more  is time in the market, not timing the market. If your goal as an investor is hold for 4 to 10 years or more then short term noise shouldn't matter to you. Yes at times we would want to be checking updates about Bitcoin but that doesn't mean we should start panicking because of dip that is happe7 within a short time. The smart way is to start small and use DCA. Not just using DCA once in a while, you must do it consistently if you want to see good returns, then they should also avoid going all in once if they want to stay safe from price fluctuation.

I'm afraid different people has different reasons why they check on Bitcoin update and sometimes if you are not really determined to hold Bitcoin for a long term then it is not wise enough to be checking on Bitcoin update because a massive Dip can push someone to the verge of tending to Panic or even sell off their investment I'm not insinuating that checking the market is wrong but sometimes it will best for us not to check because of mindset and endurance. Going all in won't keep or make  someone not be safe especially if they are using their discretionary to go all in.

I think that people who have A big capital tend to Invest in bitcoin Short Term, because they have a big capital and a short term less percentage profit can be a Good and Healthy Amount. But most of these people have to bear loses as Bitcoin is a Volatile Asset. While People who want to Create wealth, or a good amount from scratch then a good strategy like DCA might prove beneficial for them, because small amounts compound over time and Bitcoin also Increases the value of the Fiat getting compounded. I think for people like me DCA is Best.
I don't think that it's about who have a large capital or not, what I think is that it's more about the mindset of the said investor, because a trader can still have a small capital and may likely trade it just for quick profit, and that is how someone may have a huge capital and still trade it because he has no interest in investing, so what am trying say is that, it's more about the mindset of the person involve than the figure used to execute their wish.
You may have large capital but you don't have the knowledge of BTC investment, because you will be afraid to invest any amount of money in BTC. For those that have the knowledge of BTC they can take any risk that will not going to lead them to death, because they understand how decentralized currency move in the bear season and bull season, which is the confidence some of them have compare to those that have the capital but they don't have the knowledge of BTC investment.

Not just only a mindset but knowledge about BTC hodling, when you have the knowledge to know the type of coin to hodl in the short period of time or long period of time, it will make you comfortable when waiting for the bull market to hit the market before you can sell.
Your concept understanding here is correct but it is mainly for trading, not for long term investment. Because the one who has money and knowledge is definitely aware of the volatility of Bitcoin, due to which he will plan long term investment but not in any other coin.

It is right that one cannot become an investor just by having money and there is a difference between an investor and a trader. So to invest in Bitcoin, understanding Bitcoin is the real power. However, both investor and trader should have knowledge and it reduces fear, increases patience and thus increases the chances of profit in investment.

Having money is different from having knowledge. Knowledge is the real power of investment not really having too much money. Any body that rush into bitcoin because he has big money without having basic knowledge is at the risk of any of the following;

* He may go all in and buy above his discretionary income believing that the larger the better without also considering how to safeguard his bitcoin.
* He may allow anxiety to take over him and he is too optimistic and profit minded, this gives him perpetual restlessness and could drive him into selling at any slight price increase.
* He has higher chances of loosing his funds because he might sell when the market continues to dip believing that he has to sell now instead of loosing all his money _ without understanding that bitcoin will still go up.

If such person gets frustrated out of bitcoin, he will never look back to bitcoin and will always see it as a scam. Success in bitcoin starts with understanding of some of the way bitcoin rise and fall. I checked the record of bitcoin prices since 2009 and I saw how bitcoin has been moving up and down. But another observation was that it used to increase the most after every 4 years. See where I read it https://www.investopedia.com/articles/forex/121815/bitcoins-price-history.asp

Well that's a great point. But to me I don't investing short term has to do with ho much one has. Most people who invest short term are people who want quick result and at time don't have the required knowledge on how to invest and stack up Bitcoin over time and most time only go back to learn  about the method and strategies of accumulating Bitcoin when they have incurred  big lose.
Am individual  equip with right knowledge on how to accumulate and hold Bitcoin over a long period of time  always position themselves for rewards if they take into consideration the  right method of accumulating Bitcoin, be it DCA or Lump Sum which give give the investor the freedom of investing with a discretionary income and not having to worry about the money.

I believe it's important before starting buying and accumulating Bitcoin  with the intention of holding for sometime one should be equipped with one of the method of ( DCA, LUMP SUM) buying Bitcoin without having to worry themselves.

For now, considering how BTC market is,if you have the knowledge and money short term investment is preferable. Reason been the market is on a low and the price has dropped so investing heavily now means taking greater risk. Short term risk is better because if you invest heavily today the next morning you might see an upward movement in price and boom you cash out. Although BTC price is unpredictable that is why i prefer the short term.

Wow, what a strategy of yours, let say for instance, you have that huge money you’re talking about and the  market is on a bearish trend as you’ve said, which the current price is in your favor, then you invested that huge money you’re talking about, but then price didn’t turn out as you’ve expected, rather it dip below the prices you’ve accumulated, I guess you’ll be frustrated and sell off.

With this mindset and strategy of yours, you’ll end up ruining your short term investment as you called it (aka gambling). If I were to suggest to you, that huge money of yours, why not fraction it into smaller part and consistently buy bitcoin bit by bit for a long term of over 8 years and above, with this approach even if the price goes down after you’ve accumulated the first set you still have opportunity to buy again, also won’t be on edge monitoring the price action.

Gamblers also think negatively what made you think that short term trading is the best or preferable and you also also taking a big risk by investing heavily because your intention to buy and sell when the price increase, this is the reason why most these people commit sucide at the end of the day they invest with all they have with the believe that when they buy the price will increase and they will sell.
Bitcoin is a long term investment and it should be invested with our discretionary income which is money that we can afford to lose to hodl longer time like 4-10 amd more, think long term bro and not short time also invest with your discretionary income.

Any choice is a personal decision. But the choice you have made about investing may be the wrong decision for you. You believe that the price of Bitcoin is unpredictable, and you keep looking for ways to get returns by investing in the short term. Which is behaving like a trader. We have seen many new traders in the past who plan to invest in the short term and face losses repeatedly.

The price of Bitcoin goes up and down every moment. None of us can say when it will give a return or when it will go into a low market. So if you always watch the market and invest, you will never be a real investor. Traders can never be investors. If you invest by watching the market movement and selling your investment in the hope of profit, you will often lose money.

DCA is a strategy that is based on an individual’s ability to adapt to their cash flow. It is effective for both new and experienced investors, as it allows them to build a Bitcoin stash by investing small amounts regularly. However, using DCA alone is not enough. Our strategies should be designed in such a way that there is also a sufficiently strong cash flow management and other back-up funds. This way, we will not put ourselves in situations where our Bitcoin stash is at risk. Of course, the realities of life and finance are not always predictable. Sometimes we may encounter emergencies that may exceed our back-up funds, or our health, age, or other unforeseen circumstances may affect our investment plans. But by implementing proper cash flow management and DCA strategies, we can create a sustainable foundation to protect our Bitcoin savings in the long term.

For now, considering how BTC market is,if you have the knowledge and money short term investment is preferable. Reason been the market is on a low and the price has dropped so investing heavily now means taking greater risk. Short term risk is better because if you invest heavily today the next morning you might see an upward movement in price and boom you cash out. Although BTC price is unpredictable that is why i prefer the short term.

You are a trader. You entered trading to earn money, so your goal is to earn money. Do you know about the risks? Short-term investments have the highest risk, because the market always goes up and down. If you invest in Bitcoin for the long term, then you will definitely be successful, because you can buy Bitcoin by following the DCA method. In this, your investment will grow gradually and help you buy dips, but if you fall into a big dumping, you will never be able to recover your losses, so you will have to wait a long time.
So, you can invest as much money in Bitcoin as you want, and you can buy and hold Bitcoin weekly. In the current situation, long-term holding of Bitcoin is most suitable, as the risk is much lower.
So there is still enough time for you to correct yourself, then you will be saved from harm.

For now, considering how BTC market is,if you have the knowledge and money short term investment is preferable.
You are probably trying to present the whole thing as a trader. Which can put newbies at a disadvantage. And everyone here prefers to discuss it for the purpose of learning long-term investment.

Reason been the market is on a low and the price has dropped so investing heavily now means taking greater risk. Short term risk is better because if you invest heavily today the next morning you might see an upward movement in price and boom you cash out.
This is a classic short-term trading idea, but calling it a low-risk investment is a bit misleading. In a market that you yourself call unpredictable, the next morning there may be not only ups, but also big dumps. Especially if the market is still in a downtrend.The real risk depends on how you are taking entries, what timeframe you are in and how your risk management is, not just on the price level. Many experienced investors rather actively build positions by DCA at low prices step by step, rather than entering heavily at once.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to "non-custodial"

It seems to me as though most Investors’ see the investment into Bitcoin as a long-term game vs short-term with most people purchasing when they have disposable income and using the cash flow method of investing commonly referred to as dollar cost averaging to compensate for stress involved in timing the market. Understanding what you are investing in, as well as having patience during times of downturn is key to successful investing.
Well said, my brother, though Bitcoin's selling pressure could be so scary, once the person is not a novice, he should know that it's not the first time such is happening, and yet Bitcoin overcome. However, this shouldn't still make us foolish investors, we must be smart to be able to reap a better, smart and maximum dividends from our investments. This takes me to the: 1. strategy and 2. time/price of the investment. Bitcoin can't be afforded to be bought anyhow in the name of a strategy.

Take the DCA strategy that you mentioned as an example, imagine the person who bought Bitcoin with the DCA strategy when it was around $126,000, how helpful as that become? I believe we should, most importantly, respect Bitcoin's traditional cycle above whatever strategy we deploy, which can also cover-up correctly for the right time, and the right price for the buying.
If we look at the bitcoin price from around December 2024 until November 2025, the BTC price was mostly above $100k for a pretty large portion of that time, except the period between about February and April 2025 when the BTC prices were below $100k.

How is a brand new person supposed to proceed in regards to investing in bitcoin?  We likely had a lot of new investors in bitcoin since November 2024 - remember the Trump pump?  That Trump pump got a lot of attention, yet overall the whole of 2025 was not even super bullish, even though there were 4 times that the BTC price reached new ATHs in 2025 - there was $109k in January, $112k in May, $123k in July and $126k in October?

How are newbies no coiners or even low coiners (many newbies are low coiners, whether they realize it or not) supposed to navigate such kinds of prices?  Are you claiming that you haver some kind of systems?  What if their investment timeline is 4-10 years or longer, then aren't they going to end up in a decent place anyhow, especially after around 4-ish years of bitcoin accumulation?
Actually its hard for them to proceed on their investment especially if they get confuse more on what's currently happening on the market, if they wait to much on those pump and dumps on Bitcoin.
In year 2025 Bitcoin movement show how unpredictable it is, what I always think the safest option to be done by beginners usually for their long term plans of investment is to use small amounts for a while and be consistent do DCA strategy. If they have patience to wait at least 4 - 10 years timeline there's good possibilities or chances that they can earn more decent return on Bitcoin at that time.

If it happens they look for short term quick gains they provably realize that its hard to deal with volatile movement of Bitcoin, That's why its better to stick on their plan, focus and don't panic on some disturbance happening.

We need to be careful in our temptations to be greedy or to kick ourselves for not buying the dip and selling the rip.

If we invest steadily over a 4 year period of time, then our average cost per BTC will be around the same as the 200-WMA, and historically, butcoin has spent an overwhelming majority of its time at least 25% higher than the 200-WMA.. and there have ONLY been short periods that the BTC price has stayed below the 200-WMA for significant periods of time....

And so if we continue to buy bitcoin over a couple of cycles, then it becomes more and more likely by the time we get to 8 years investing in bitcoin, then we end up having average cost per BTC that may well be half of the 200-WMA.

Sure past performance does not guarantee future results, so we have to figure out the extent to which we consider consistently and persistently putting value into bitcoin is going to give us greater options in the future as compared to if we had not and/or as compared to if we are fucking around trying to strategize when to buy and when not to, and even worse if we are fucking around selling and ending up being "out" when we should have had been "in."

We can look back at charts, and tell ourselves that we should have known, up, down or sideways or some other fantasies in terms of trying to gauge bitcoin price movements, and a lot of that is not really true, since it is quite likely that we would have had ended way better off to just stay focused on persistent and consistent buying of BTC until we get to a point of having quite a decent stash of bitcoin - and surely if we had spent several years accumulating bitcoin, then our own progress in accumulating bitcoin should end up helping to inform us in respect to the extent to which we might need to modify our bitcoin accumulation strategies.

1) Self-Custody is a right.  Resist being labelled as: "non-custodial" or "un-hosted."  2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized.  3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k

Ive been hearing about situations where someone buys a coin for a certain rate and not quite long after,  the said coin drops in value, or  someone sells his coin for a certain rate and then it appreciates just after.
What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?

Wow, what a mysterious and audacious suggestion from a newbie with one activity, @monstarcoolman try not to prejudge situation without getting proper knowledge of what is being discussed. I’ll suggest you do more of learning from others senior member here than jumping to conclusions without fact.

If it can't be used as a guarantee for the future our past actions will certainly be a good lesson. With discussions like this we will certainly be more careful in our actions remembering that no matter how much we do there must be an attitude that our actions are not 100% guaranteed for our future. Therefore every action must be considered carefully because the results are often questionable. However with what has been revealed here I think others will be more careful in strategizing when the right time to act.

Hey dude!! I think you should be doing more of trying to learn and be in understanding of bitcoin investment and I believe you’re in the best place to achieve that. So instead of giving a dumb three words advice you should actually try to learn from folks in here so you don’t go about wrecking yourself and your bitcoin investment. On every normal circumstances this is not time to sell your bitcoin, as a matter of fact bitcoin is in a bear market, and if you don’t know barely four weeks ago bitcoin price was in an all time high of about $120k, many investors didn’t sell at that moment because they don’t come in for cheap quick profit, but rather they are long term investors with a long term mindset of consistent accumulation and investing on bitcoin and hold for years and build a reasonable or decent bitcoin portfolio for themselves or perhaps get to their accumulation target or over accumulation. Don’t you think it will be so dumb to sell now that the price is half of what they held just barely 4 weeks ago, that will be a huge loss. So, instead of panicking to sell now due to the market downturn it should be an opportunity to take advantage of me market now to buy even more at such a reduced price to add to your portfolio and hold for the long term purpose of investment.

Who is this motherfucker that is hiding behind a newbie account to say nonsense?
or I sense he is trying to stroll everyone in this thread that are investing and holding Bitcoin for long, not that he is ignorant. Because how would a newbie make his first post in a massive Bitcoin investment thread with a myopic statement, it shows that he is not a newbie, he is just a coward hiding behind the account of a newbie, but that's his problem because I believe that no Bitcoin enthusiastic will listen to such shitty suggestions from a no body.

I'm afraid different people has different reasons why they check on Bitcoin update and sometimes if you are not really determined to hold Bitcoin for a long term then it is not wise enough to be checking on Bitcoin update because a massive Dip can push someone to the verge of tending to Panic or even sell off their investment I'm not insinuating that checking the market is wrong but sometimes it will best for us not to check because of mindset and endurance. Going all in won't keep or make  someone not be safe especially if they are using their discretionary to go all in.
Yes, for long-term Bitcoin investors, checking the market price too often isn't particularly important. After all, what's the point if not to make a purchase? But it's undeniable that I think almost everyone investing in Bitcoin frequently checks the market price. I don't know the reason,, but it could be a hobby or something else. I also occasionally check the Bitcoin price, whether just for fun or to make a purchase.

Furthermore, there's no prohibition against Bitcoin investors checking the market price, as it's a normal habit for someone to monitor the price of their own investment assets. However, those who aren't yet able to control themselves should avoid checking the market too often. When the Bitcoin price drops like it has now, they'll panic and lose everything. So, for those like them, checking the Bitcoin price too often is probably not recommended. But for people who can control themselves and know that this correction is only temporary, I think it's okay to frequently check the Bitcoin market price.

Why did you have to create a new account just to come say “sell your Bitcoins” ..
if you feel selling Bitcoin now is the right thing to do and you’re so confident about selling, then I don’t see reasons why you should create an alt account just to say that..
Like it your choices, and nobody can change that for you (probably just experience would) so just do what suit you..

Then, for other don’t listen to that, like there’re several 100’s of advices you can get off this topics than that.. So keep doing what you’ve been doing and don’t be scared..
