Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?

I agree with your points that many investors buy Bitcoin without understanding the risks in the hope of quick profits. This tendency is common among new investors. When the market falls, they panic and sell. This is a very natural and recurring human reaction. The DCA strategy is good advice and it is a very effective and good strategy for moderate risk management. It reduces the stress of investing.

 However, I think there is a place in your comment that needs to be thought through. What you said, 'in the next two to three years, it will grow more than we expected'. Although this comment is very optimistic, from a real investment perspective, I think it is a prophetic guarantee that should not be given. Because the market does not give any guarantees. Even though Bitcoin has increased many times in the past, none of us know what will happen in the future. Therefore, we should think based on possibilities, not on certainty. 'The price may increase', 'history shows that there is a possibility of growth' sounds more reasonable.  Any statement about the future or "prices will go up more than we expect" can be misleading for new investors. We should invest based on probability, not on the certainty that prices will go up.

As you said, if we only consider the risk to invest in Bitcoin, then we will never be able to invest in Bitcoin because Bitcoin is as risky as it is profitable. In that case, we have to invest in Bitcoin in the hope of profit, which is only possible when there is time, because we can never wait for Bitcoin to dump. This is a bad habit because due to this habit, you will not be able to buy Bitcoin at the right time. As time goes by, you will lag behind because you are thinking more about the fall in the price of Bitcoin and it is taking you back. When this lesson comes to you, you may regret it later because you had the opportunity to invest but you did not invest. We can never determine the price of Bitcoin, but we cannot let time get ahead of us because time will not sit still for any of us. In that case, we have to be properly aware to invest.

Taking risks can be a very terrible decision bit then taking calculated risks is more safer, now bitcoin investment is a calculated risk worth taking, it has a process and if followed accordingly would always yield profit in the future,
It's far better than investing on ponzi scheme or buying shitty coins that manipulated by their project owners.

 Well, there's still time for anyone that's interested to buy and hold bitcoin it's never too late, although the prices have appreciated so well but it's not a problem since the new investors can DCA for a longer period and make lots of profits,  if one can start holding bitcoin from now till like a decade or so then they won't even feel they missed investing when it was cheaper than now, the price of bitcoin would keep going higher, the signs are there so there's still lots of opportunities to make good profits with bitcoin.

You may be right in your opinion. But what I understand from seeing the posts of the experts is that it is not right to invest more money than the discretionary income in Bitcoin DCA method regularly. If someone wants, they can invest aggressively, for example, they can invest 100% of their discretionary income. This is their personal matter. But if they invest more than this, they have taken a lot of risk. It will not be invested then, it will be like giving money in gambling.
Investing in Bitcoin for a period of 10 years is definitely a very good arrangement for its security in the future. But I think two things should be kept in mind here, that is, in the case of long-term investment, the one who has started investing should never feel that he is investing too much. According to the plan, he will buy Bitcoin regularly so that he never feels mentally unstable after buying Bitcoin. And he can continue investing for a long time. Another thing is to keep a balance between his Bitcoin purchase and his regular income so that the possibility of falling into financial problems in the future is less. And he should give enough importance to the issue of reserve fund, emergency fund. And he should definitely maintain all these funds and invest in Bitcoin.

And he should give enough importance to the issue of reserve fund, emergency fund. And he should definitely maintain all these funds and invest in Bitcoin.

This is not absolutely correct. Investing 100% of your Discretionary income in detrimental to your bitcoin investment too. That we advocate investing with discretionary income does not mean that you can use up all your discretionary income. You have to understand that your emergency funds and back up funds also come from your discretionary income. So investing all of it means that you're not making any reservations for emergency funds which is also a bad idea.

To my own understanding, discretionary income is any money left after taking care of your basic responsibilities. This means that you have only taken care of your family needs like light bill, water bill, environmental and other basic amenities.  So if you invest all your leftover money, what will you use as the emergency funds  when emergency situation arises? So we only invest a part of the discretionary income in order to have cushion for our bitcoin stash.

Taking profit from your bitcoin stash is not wise enough when you are supposed to be investing more  instead of selling. Bitcoin still has a higher potential of which selling off now to take profit is very risky. You may not be able to reinvest at any lower price immediately except you've decided to quit bitcoin investment. The longer you hold, the better chances you have. Bitcoin's volatility is not only downward and it's becoming more positive than negative.

The statement you responded to does not suggest investing everything including money for basic needs into bitcoin,  he clearly stated that discretionary income is what is supposed to be invested in bitcoin. Your idea of going all in is your own making and it has no place in this discussion.

Your idea of bitcoin being risky and the future being uncertain is not also very encouraging for people who might be considering putting part of their discretionary income into bitcoin. This is because we know, from the available data, that no one who held for a decade have lost money in bitcoin.  This proves that bitcoin have some level of security even more than some other types of investments that are cajllenged by inflation. People should be encouraged to accumulate bitcoin with their discretionary income,  since it is something they can afford to hold for as long as necessary.

There is no risk-free investment, each investment has different types of risks according to its type, Bitcoin investment also involves risk, there is no guarantee that the stage we are expecting will come in the next month or next year, but one of the characteristics of Bitcoin is that although it fluctuates a lot in the short term, it remains valuable in the long term, and as such, an investor should decide to invest for the long term, then the risk of his investment will be greatly reduced. Bitcoin should be bought consistently with discretionary income and held for the long term, so that you do not panic during any unexpected situation and your chances of success are much higher due to holding it for the long term.

Bitcoin market is not stable, today it raises, tomorrow it falls. The most important thing is someone investing in Bitcoin to monitor the market, some people have the patient of waiting while some others due to fear when they see that the price is fluctuating might rush and sell, I will suggest we buy the idea of buying and waiting while we monitor the market. If possible monitor it when the price is low then you buy and hold.

But if they invest more than this, they have taken a lot of risk. It will not be invested then, it will be like giving money in gambling.

When an investor invests more than his discretionary income, he will definitely be hampered in holding Bitcoin for the long term. He may be able to hold Bitcoin regularly for a few days, but at any time he may need the money and at that time he can lose the holding. When you have discretionary income, you can also invest aggressively with that money if you want. Generally, if you invest 70-90 percent of your discretionary income, it can be considered as aggressive investment. You must create an emergency fund with your bitcoin investment so that you can invest regularly in any bad situation. In the case of investing in Bitcoin, the more you invest, the more your Bitcoin will grow.

A new investor or newly investor should concentrate on how to can buying more bitcoin from his discretionary income by regularly using the dca method, but there is nothing wrong if an investor who has gotten to his over accumulation stage can choose to take some profit from his bitcoin hodling so been unwise when it comes to taking some profit from your investment depends on how much bitcoin they have stash.

I will suggest we buy the idea of buying and waiting while we monitor the market. If possible monitor it when the price is low then you buy and hold.

That's a wrong suggestion because it could mislead newbies to wait for bitcoin to dip before they can start accumulating Bitcoin. Waiting for Bitcoin price to dip before accumulating Bitcoin is a wrong strategy expecially for new investors it is trader who monitor price to drop before accumulating Bitcoin and sell when it goes high, waiting to buy when the price is low will delay or slow down your accumulation process as you will only have little Bitcoin in your portfolio. With the DCA strategy an investor can be accumulating Bitcoin gradually, consistently accumulating Bitcoin either every weeks or months and hodl for long duration of 4-10 years and still accumulating without regularly waiting or monitoring the market to dip before accumulating Bitcoin.

From your forum registration date it shows you are a newbie who has less knowledge about bitcoin investment and if you start bitcoin investment with this your mind set of buying bitcoin only when there is drop in price you won't be able to buy enough bitcoin because it's every time that it will drop to your expected price sometimes it may not even dip and it keep increasing so if you have such mind set refrace from it and focus on regularly buying bitcoin using the dca method this method will help you buy bitcoin at any price you don't need to wait again for bitcoin to dip before buying, you can be buying every weeks or months and HODL for 4-10.

If possible monitor it when the price is low then you buy and hold.

If you have a long-term plan then there is no need to monitor the market, the price of Bitcoin is unstable so it is normal for the price of Bitcoin to fluctuate. Now those who panic when the market goes down don't have enough idea about Bitcoin and they don't have long term plan, they are looking for profit in short time. If you plan short term you will panic and suffer losses. If your plan is not long term then no observation or analysis will help. On the other hand, if you plan long-term, you don't have to wait for the fall, and there will be no need to make any observations or any analysis. So be aware of the market before investing in Bitcoin, the market will not be dumping forever or bullish forever, the market will definitely go up and down, but the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise over time. So give up all thoughts and always buy and hold on to Bitcoin with long-term planning.

If we consider value appreciation then it is best that taken profits from investment should not only be talk about in terms of how much Bitcoin any one have but also have to talk about the longevity of duration the investor has held his investment, I have heard so much about allowing investment to have a compounded value over time and this can only be achieved if the investment are allowed for longer period of time, my point in essence is that taken profits does not just depends about how much of Bitcoin they have, those that have good financial ability can accumulate good size of Bitcoin within a short time frame of about 2 to 3 years which is not even up to a Bitcoin cycle of 4 years which 4 years is not even good enough to be considered a longer period of time and that doesn't mean they are good to take profits based on the size of Bitcoin they have.

[Marvelockg]

This should only be considered to having possibilities of happening and nothing close to being certain to happen or guarantee and even if everything is done perfectly well and accordingly it doesn't still mean that it would always yield profits in the future yet I will still say that there is nothing wrong trying to do everything being followed accordingly by staying disciplined and focused through buying with your discretionary income and not selling too soon, I agree with you about Bitcoin being more on the increasing side with the increasing adoption but don't still know what will happen in the future.

That is why it would be extremely wrong to go all in on your Bitcoin investment because the future is not guaranteed, it is true that their is a higher probability of Bitcoin rising up to $1M or more but due to the fact that we live in a world full of uncertainty, going all in on your investment is dangerous because you might contemplate suicide if you invested what you can not afford to lose, but if you invest only what you can afford to lose, if your investment doesn't go as planned in the future, you would not be that shaken financially, but take note that no investment is risk free, including Bitcoin, it's as risky as every other investment out there, but the risk attached to it can be easily reduced to the bearest minimum if you can hold it for an extended period of time.

bitcoin can not go down overnight to nothing just like that. before bitcoin will experience a serious DIP that is capable of causing an investor to go completely down to the zero point, a lot if not all other digital asset must have experienced similar fall or worse off fall than bitcoin.

one reason we can continue to comfortably buy bitcoin even at the time when it is getting bearish is that it also recovers after each of the bearish seasons and even though the future is uncertain and that we can not out rightly predict what tomorrow brings, we are at least certain that things will not just happen over night without an hint. for instance seeing that bitcoin is even attempting to break through the $120k, do you think that overnight, it is possible to see bitcoin going down without 24 hours or less than that period of time to the range of say $20k? the same way it always takes time before bitcoin gets bullish is the same way it will also take before bitcoin can get really bearish and such bare that gives you the impression that you can lose all the things you have invested might never happen not now or anytime soon.

going all in as an investor is not right but the reason why it is not the best idea to do so is not because bitcoin will DIP to nothing, it is rather because you are exposing your investment to factors like impromptu selling to sort out emergency since you are not prepared for such kind of possibility.

[Spaceman1000$]

I agree with your points that many investors buy Bitcoin without understanding the risks in the hope of quick profits. This tendency is common among new investors. When the market falls, they panic and sell. This is a very natural and recurring human reaction. The DCA strategy is good advice and it is a very effective and good strategy for moderate risk management. It reduces the stress of investing.

 However, I think there is a place in your comment that needs to be thought through. What you said, 'in the next two to three years, it will grow more than we expected'. Although this comment is very optimistic, from a real investment perspective, I think it is a prophetic guarantee that should not be given. Because the market does not give any guarantees. Even though Bitcoin has increased many times in the past, none of us know what will happen in the future. Therefore, we should think based on possibilities, not on certainty. 'The price may increase', 'history shows that there is a possibility of growth' sounds more reasonable.  Any statement about the future or "prices will go up more than we expect" can be misleading for new investors. We should invest based on probability, not on the certainty that prices will go up.

As you said, if we only consider the risk to invest in Bitcoin, then we will never be able to invest in Bitcoin because Bitcoin is as risky as it is profitable. In that case, we have to invest in Bitcoin in the hope of profit, which is only possible when there is time, because we can never wait for Bitcoin to dump. This is a bad habit because due to this habit, you will not be able to buy Bitcoin at the right time. As time goes by, you will lag behind because you are thinking more about the fall in the price of Bitcoin and it is taking you back. When this lesson comes to you, you may regret it later because you had the opportunity to invest but you did not invest. We can never determine the price of Bitcoin, but we cannot let time get ahead of us because time will not sit still for any of us. In that case, we have to be properly aware to invest.

Taking risks can be a very terrible decision bit then taking calculated risks is more safer, now bitcoin investment is a calculated risk worth taking, it has a process and if followed accordingly would always yield profit in the future,
It's far better than investing on ponzi scheme or buying shitty coins that manipulated by their project owners.

 Well, there's still time for anyone that's interested to buy and hold bitcoin it's never too late, although the prices have appreciated so well but it's not a problem since the new investors can DCA for a longer period and make lots of profits,  if one can start holding bitcoin from now till like a decade or so then they won't even feel they missed investing when it was cheaper than now, the price of bitcoin would keep going higher, the signs are there so there's still lots of opportunities to make good profits with bitcoin.

The success rate bitcoin has ascertained as at today, should tell every investor that investing in Bitcoin has low potential risk as there is no investment that is totally risk free, however i take exception in comparing Bitcoin with Ponzi schemes and shitty coins in terms of preferential, bitcoin investment should be compared and preferred with valuable assets like Real estate that is within choiced areas that increase in value with time, gold or even crude oil, this is because Bitcoin is top there with elite assets you could think of.

Bitcoin market is not stable, today it raises, tomorrow it falls. The most important thing is someone investing in Bitcoin to monitor the market, some people have the patient of waiting while some others due to fear when they see that the price is fluctuating might rush and sell, I will suggest we buy the idea of buying and waiting while we monitor the market. If possible monitor it when the price is low then you buy and hold.

It is good that we are all here to learn and I will tell you that your suggestions is not valid, I see this as a normal mentality for those who doesn't understand Bitcoin ecosystem and of course in experience about the market happening because I believe that I usually have this mindset until now that I have in to this community, for unpredictable asset like Bitcoin waiting or timing the market is a very bad and shorted sighted, dumb thing to do more when you are just starting and with very low amount of Bitcoin or you don't even have any one yet, I can still remember how Bitcoin went all the way from $107k to $119k within a short period of time, if you ask yourself what will happen to those that was waiting or timing it to drop back to $100k from the $107k, the dca method is all over many of thread I have been reading through which saves from instead of timing the market that you can never time correctly to buy Bitcoin without stress and you are making your progress. My experience from looking at the market Bitcoin is ns Never waiting for anyone and it moves without informing anyone.

Bitcoin doesn’t neatly fit into “Buy Buy Buy” or “Sell Sell Sell.” It’s currently consolidating just below its all-time highs—anchored by robust institutional demand and ETF inflows, yet running headlong into bubble chatter and concerns of overheat.
It's depends on your timeframe:

•   If you're bullish long-term: Ride out volatility and scale into positions on pullbacks—these look like strategic entry points.

•   If you're short-term or cautious: Consider locking in gains near current levels, since upside momentum may be fading amid rising bubble risks and regime uncertainty.

Bitcoin is more attractive than gold in terms of investment. However, gold is still used by many more people than Bitcoin. The supply of Bitcoin is only 21 million but gold is unlimited. Getting Bitcoin can be difficult because the way the price is increasing day by day, if the price increases like this, buying Bitcoin after 10 or 20 years will not be easy for small investors like us, but getting gold is easy. The profit in Bitcoin is many times higher than gold. Bitcoin is not recognized in every country in the world, but gold is used in every country in the world. Hopefully, one day every country in the world will recognize Bitcoin and try to preserve it. People are slowly realizing that Bitcoin is an important asset.

Currently, many investors are pouring their money into Bitcoin completely, but on the one hand, they want to make a quick profit, and on the other hand, they want to avoid risk because they only consider the profitable side of Bitcoin. However, Bitcoin is risky, and when the price of Bitcoin fluctuates, they panic the most. As a result, they take the wrong steps and sell Bitcoin, and later when the price of Bitcoin increases again, they are disappointed because they sold Bitcoin.


Invest in Bitcoin for the long term through the DCA strategy because Bitcoin will increase in value more than we expect in the next two to three years, you can save for your family's basic needs and your own unnecessary expenses and continue investing slowly because you are investing in Bitcoin. You can benefit from investing in Bitcoin in the long term.

I agree with your points that many investors buy Bitcoin without understanding the risks in the hope of quick profits. This tendency is common among new investors. When the market falls, they panic and sell. This is a very natural and recurring human reaction. The DCA strategy is good advice and it is a very effective and good strategy for moderate risk management. It reduces the stress of investing.

 However, I think there is a place in your comment that needs to be thought through. What you said, 'in the next two to three years, it will grow more than we expected'. Although this comment is very optimistic, from a real investment perspective, I think it is a prophetic guarantee that should not be given. Because the market does not give any guarantees. Even though Bitcoin has increased many times in the past, none of us know what will happen in the future. Therefore, we should think based on possibilities, not on certainty. 'The price may increase', 'history shows that there is a possibility of growth' sounds more reasonable.  Any statement about the future or "prices will go up more than we expect" can be misleading for new investors. We should invest based on probability, not on the certainty that prices will go up.

As you said, if we only consider the risk to invest in Bitcoin, then we will never be able to invest in Bitcoin because Bitcoin is as risky as it is profitable. In that case, we have to invest in Bitcoin in the hope of profit, which is only possible when there is time, because we can never wait for Bitcoin to dump. This is a bad habit because due to this habit, you will not be able to buy Bitcoin at the right time. As time goes by, you will lag behind because you are thinking more about the fall in the price of Bitcoin and it is taking you back. When this lesson comes to you, you may regret it later because you had the opportunity to invest but you did not invest. We can never determine the price of Bitcoin, but we cannot let time get ahead of us because time will not sit still for any of us. In that case, we have to be properly aware to invest.

I understand you’re trying every possible best to learn and it’s fine likewise every one of us,  it’s kinda complicated when you state the word ( Time) firstly there’s no specific time or rather the best time when an investor should buy or not rather every time is still considered good probably few are just hearing of bitcoin for the first time then decide to give it a try, I will not be surprised if they’re just getting to hear about bitcoin although when an investor decides to wait after being educated about bitcoin either waiting for the dip in this situation they’re making a big mistake, the market doesn’t wait for anyone and there’s a high chance they might not meet previous price range but, if it ever get to that stage they’ve wasted enough time waiting. My first experience when bitcoin price had little decline was not as planned or expected basically I had plans to buy in large quantity because that’s one benefit of buying the dip although I accumulated with the amount available and not some kind of pressure according to my discretionary income, it’s okay to start from somewhere regardless bitcoin price. At an early stage an investor should focus less on the market price meaning the bearish or bull season should be out of your knowledge plan rather buy and hold for the long run because all this can be considered as a distraction.

Taking risks can be a very terrible decision bit then taking calculated risks is more safer, now bitcoin investment is a calculated risk worth taking, it has a process and if followed accordingly would always yield profit in the future,
It's far better than investing on ponzi scheme or buying shitty coins that manipulated by their project owners.

 Well, there's still time for anyone that's interested to buy and hold bitcoin it's never too late, although the prices have appreciated so well but it's not a problem since the new investors can DCA for a longer period and make lots of profits,  if one can start holding bitcoin from now till like a decade or so then they won't even feel they missed investing when it was cheaper than now, the price of bitcoin would keep going higher, the signs are there so there's still lots of opportunities to make good profits with bitcoin.

This should only be considered to having possibilities of happening and nothing close to being certain to happen or guarantee and even if everything is done perfectly well and accordingly it doesn't still mean that it would always yield profits in the future yet I will still say that there is nothing wrong trying to do everything being followed accordingly by staying disciplined and focused through buying with your discretionary income and not selling too soon, I agree with you about Bitcoin being more on the increasing side with the increasing adoption but don't still know what will happen in the future.

I agree with you because we should not spend all our money on investing in Bitcoin because it can put us at risk later, we cannot let it become difficult to meet the expenses necessary for our normal life, you should invest in a money that will not scare you and you can live your life normally without that money, in that case you should be financially secure enough to invest in Bitcoin, but investing in Bitcoin which is a step towards the future,

Those who have invested in Bitcoin in the past with their patience and made the right investments have been able to increase their assets several times in the present. Likewise, new investors should invest with their existing intelligence and faith in Bitcoin so that they can reach the goal of preparing themselves financially for the future. However, when investing in Bitcoin, you should refrain from panicking over the long term, even though this is for new investors because experienced investors are familiar with it.
