Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?

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.

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.

Going all In is wrong approach to Bitcoin investment and anyone who is going all in Bitcoin may have another motive which I believe is not or will not be favorable to the person. In Bitcoin investment we are advised to be investing with what will be convenient for us and hold it for a long period of time so that the changes won't affect our investment in any way because the market will always correct back after Dipping for some period of time and again I perceived all in as lack of Bitcoin knowledge if not why will someone go all in, in Bitcoin.

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.

Most times people presume Bitcoin to be too expensive because most of them believe to be too costly and this has discouraged many not to invest into Bitcoin.
We don't need to very rich before we can start accumulating Bitcoin for it can actually be bought in little fraction too for is better to start accumulating now and hodl for future so that you can also be a beneficiary and enjoy with those who are already accumulating and holding now in the future when the price of bitcoin will be increasing.
With the DCA strategy an investor can start accumulating Bitcoin gradually little by little either weekly or monthly without considering the price of Bitcoin and hodl.

in that case you should be financially secure enough to invest in Bitcoin, but investing in Bitcoin which is a step towards the future,

We don't need to be financially stable or balance before we can start investing in bitcoin if we keep waiting to have it all we might end up not getting started because we want to be rich meanwhile the poor are investing in bitcoin, what is required to get started is your discretionary income and not been financially secure.

The amount of investment is not a factor for Bitcoin investment, and the situation of Bitcoin is not a factor for starting investment, no matter what the price of Bitcoin is now, and no matter what the amount of your investment is, these are not a matter of concern, the most important thing is to consistently buy Bitcoin and hold it for the long term, it does not matter how much money you invest, if you continue to invest in small amounts continuously, then it will continue to grow much larger in the long term, and if you continue to buy Bitcoin without worrying about the price, then your portfolio will continue to grow in average value. These are things that an investor should understand, because if they panic unnecessarily and delay their holding and investment, they will be deprived of great success in the future, so they must think realistically about these matters.

I agree with you, because we have made these mistakes in history because we never thought that the price of Bitcoin would increase so much. If we knew, we would also be one of the beneficiaries of it, there are some investors who think that because the price of Bitcoin has reached its peak, they are afraid to invest in Bitcoin because they think that if Bitcoin faces a big dumping again, they will invest in Bitcoin, but it is also possible that it will be dumping and there will be pumping. I think, determining the price of Bitcoin is a challenge, but I personally support Bitcoin because the future of Bitcoin is bright. If you do not want to come forward at all in terms of investment, then you are making a mistake. At least you can invest with a small amount of money because if you make this investment, you will be able to increase your wealth when the price of Bitcoin increases. On the other hand, if you continue to invest regularly with the market, both your experience and skills will continue to grow, which will attract you to Bitcoin.  Here the DCA strategy will be quite effective for you, but those who are currently investing in Bitcoin using their existing intelligence will be very successful in the future as the price of Bitcoin increases. You can be a big beneficiary, so do not lag behind in Bitcoin investment and invest in Bitcoin by adopting the right strategy so that you do not have to regret it later.

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.

Most people get into trouble when they take risks without thinking them through. This is especially true when they try to make quick money with ponzi schemes or low cap coins that don't have any real fundamentals. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a different kind of risk. It has strong fundamentals, a long history, a growing number of users, and a fixed supply. Bitcoin is beautiful because it's still early, even at these prices. A lot of people don't know that they are not too late, they are just not thinking about the future. It's a good idea to DCA over time and hold for ten years or more. It removes feelings from the process and lets you take advantage of Bitcoin's long term trend, which has always been up, even when prices are volatile. Over time, Bitcoin lets you build wealth without anyone knowing...

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.

You seem to have some correct ideas ruykeri, yet you seem to be lacking in practicality in terms of some of your discussion of the topic.  Are you actually attempting to invest into bitcoin in accordance with your recommendations or are you just talking out of theory without actually attempting to apply such principles and to invest into bitcoin. 

Even though theoretically guys could invest up to 100% of their discretionary income into bitcoin and not go overboard, it is not really practical for beginners to be attempting such high level of aggressiveness in regards to investing into bitcoin. They likely have to spend several months getting used to investing in bitcoin and making sure that they have reached some reasonable balance in regards to managing their cashflow, which also likely includes making sure that their back up funds are to a sufficient level.  A big mistake that any beginner could make is to end up overly investing into bitcoin with the idea that he can invest 100% of his discretionary income and he ends up mistakening in several aspects of his calculations and then putting himself in a worse position because he did not have his cashflow management in a sufficiently good enough order.

Another thing is that a guy does not need to have a steady income in order to get started investing into bitcoin, yet if he does not have any steady income and he is not really sure from where his income is going to come or how much it will be and when it will come, then he might be in a situation in which his income and/or even his expenses are too erratic in order to plan on keeping on buying bitcoin beyond his having had gotten started by some initial investment amounts.. that may well have to also start on the low end if the guy is having too many uncertainties regarding his future income and/or his expense situation... Yet, don't get me wrong, since there is one thing getting started and another thing being in a position to keep investing through making sure that income is going to be coming in and that discretionary income is going to end up being available so that a guy does not have to tap into his bitcoin investment at time that is not of his choosing, which also should be the case that guys getting into bitcoin should be considering investing into bitcoin for 4-10 years or more rather than something less than 4 years which would be thinking of bitcoin in terms of a trade rather than as an investment.

Bitcoin definitely stands out as calculated risk when you truly compared to scams and hype coins that arrive or leave. the key factors  is understanding what you have to invest, having a long term goal and never put in more what you can afford to loose DCA has proven to be of the most solid strategies for people who don't want to target the market .And you are very correct while ther is no guarantee, the growing adoption and limited  supply give Bitcoin a strong case for long term growth, its important that people go in with the right expectation it is not a get rich scheme but of a steady disciplined.

If by going all-In,  meant saying if someone put all his money in bitcoin investment, then I think is totally a wrong approach and is not advisable. In bitcoin investment one shouldn’t empty his wallet or bank to invest,. Sometimes greeds comes to play in the mind of some investors and they fall into going all in hoping the higher they invest, the more higher the returns. There’s a likelihood and potential to make this higher returns, and there’s also a risk you might lose a reasonable portion of your investment too, knowing fully well that bitcoin is volatile in nature. All what you need to invest is your discretionary income, as a long term investor whose goal is focused on the long term consistent accumulation and hodl, you don’t need to empty your bank to accumulate bitcoin, you can use only your discretionary income to accumulate using the DCA method either weekly or monthly basis and gradually build up your portfolio over time, it’s better off that way instead of going all in with all your money, and I think most people who does that are only interested in making quick profit which is not a good investment strategy.

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.

Most times people presume Bitcoin to be too expensive because most of them believe to be too costly and this has discouraged many not to invest into Bitcoin.
We don't need to very rich before we can start accumulating Bitcoin for it can actually be bought in little fraction too for is better to start accumulating now and hodl for future so that you can also be a beneficiary and enjoy with those who are already accumulating and holding now in the future when the price of bitcoin will be increasing.
With the DCA strategy an investor can start accumulating Bitcoin gradually little by little either weekly or monthly without considering the price of Bitcoin and hodl.

The amount of investment is not a factor for Bitcoin investment, and the situation of Bitcoin is not a factor for starting investment, no matter what the price of Bitcoin is now, and no matter what the amount of your investment is, these are not a matter of concern, the most important thing is to consistently buy Bitcoin and hold it for the long term, it does not matter how much money you invest, if you continue to invest in small amounts continuously, then it will continue to grow much larger in the long term, and if you continue to buy Bitcoin without worrying about the price, then your portfolio will continue to grow in average value. These are things that an investor should understand, because if they panic unnecessarily and delay their holding and investment, they will be deprived of great success in the future, so they must think realistically about these matters.

Alot of people fail to understand that they most not have all it takes before getting started, whether you're a low salary earner our a pensioner what is required to be able to get started is your discretionary fund after you most have getting the basic knowledge about bitcoin investment, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about, the amount you have in your discretionary fund whether big or small should not be an excuse or something that will hinder you or delay you from not getting started on time,  you should not even pay attention to the market condition because if you keep considering all this you might end up not getting started as the price will be looking very expensive for you, that is why as a beginner who is still new in this space is good to focus on the ongoing buying of bitcoin using the DCA method and pay less attention to what is happening in the market.

[Berry2d]

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.

You don't need to buy 1 Bitcoin or it's not necessary that you have to buy a full Bitcoin to be able to invest. Bitcoin is designed in a way that you can buy as much as you can afford in fractions. Although Bitcoin price will increase but you will only buy the fraction that is equivalent to your money. This means that if you can be able to buy  $100 Bitcoin Which is 0.000848BTC at current rate of $117k, it means that $100 Bitcoin price at $232k will be 0.000424BTC. Meaning that you can only purchase half fraction of what you used to buy. Thats why we always advice to buy Bitcoin now it's early before it becomes more expensive.

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.

There is a difference between recorgnition and usage, yes Bitcoin may not be recognized by many people in the world on like gold that have spent hundreds of years but Bitcoin is used by many people around the world. Don't forget that Bitcoin is just bearly 16years compeard to gold that have stayed for hundred of years. Bitcoin has cover a range of 1/10 of gold's market cap so we are yet expecting Bitcoin to increase in market cap, by then it will have been used more in many part of 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.

Sure, and we hope so. Bitcoin is the most reliable asset and a good store of value that many people are yet to discover, just that many people are still used to the old traditional way of asset which is physical gold instead of digital Gold.

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.

If you are waiting for the price of bitcoin to be stable before you can buy or sell, it will take you a long time to see such opportunity in the market. You can buy now that the price has decreased to $118k and hold for long term because nobody know when the low price will hit the market again to be stable for people to buy from the low price, investors that understand the movement of bitcoin will not be afraid of the decrease or increase of bitcoin when holding it, there is no how you will hold bitcoin for more than five years without a good income from your holding, but when you allow fear to enter you, you will sell to regret because you allow fear to push you to sell when it's not time to sell to achieve your heart desire from your holding.

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.

From what you've said, it is clear you are approaching Bitcoin from a trader’s mindset, and not the long term investing mindset. And honestly, I respect how open you are about your style. And it also shows you are still be new here.

You might want to take some time and really pay attention to the discussions happening in this forum. Most of us here are not chasing short term moves or trying to time tops and bottoms,  because it is not the best approach to Bitcoin investment, we’re building conviction over the long term. Bitcoin is not something you flip for quick gains, it is something you accumulate, understand, and hold with a long term vision using DCA method.

To invest in Bitcoin, you need to have long-term faith because if you do not have faith in Bitcoin after investing in Bitcoin, you may panic because the price of Bitcoin fluctuates frequently, which can make you panic and sell Bitcoin, but it can be effective for beginners who may regret it later, because those who are skilled investors are familiar with it, before investing in Bitcoin, you need to know and understand Bitcoin well and Bitcoin has a history that you can observe well, because history teaches us that if you invest in Bitcoin for the long term, you will also benefit, but still, if we invest in Bitcoin for the long term, you can increase your money in the future, we can never determine the price of Bitcoin, but the future of Bitcoin is bright which we can never deny, but we have to keep our minds fixed on long-term investment.

As a bitcoin investor you need personal determination and conviction to be able to buy bitcoin freely and not sells at panic. First of all, bitcoin is not a stable coin and it's a peculiar part of the bitcoin investment which allows people to either remain in bitcoin investment or fuck off over fear. Most people that wait for dips to buy don't end  up buying bitcoin due to some reasons which could be not seeing their desirable dip happen or no longer having the fund when their desirable dip finally happens or it even better probably, that their desirable dip happened swiftly without their knowledge even though they might have lived all day on the charts just a moment off and they missed out. Some of these guys claim they are not bitcoin Traders but their attitude speaks otherwise.

$118k for one bitcoin is still a very good price for a real investor to buy bitcoin. Having a set DCA approach would save you from the chart-trap that holds you back and expose you to miss opportunities. Moreover, 5 years is not enough time to hold bitcoin as an investor except for circumstances of emergency which is beyond your power after exhausting every other options.

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.

You don't need to buy 1 Bitcoin or it's not necessary that you have to buy a full Bitcoin to be able to invest. Bitcoin is designed in a way that you can buy as much as you can afford in fractions. Although Bitcoin price will increase but you will only buy the fraction that is equivalent to your money. This means that if you can be able to buy  $100 Bitcoin Which is 0.000848BTC at current rate of $117k, it means that $100 Bitcoin price at $232k will be 0.000424BTC. Meaning that you can only purchase half fraction of what you used to buy. Thats why we always advice to buy Bitcoin now it's early before it becomes more expensive.

There's no way many people in this forum can afford one bitcoin at once but almost everyone can afford $2 to invest in bitcoin. Bitcoin is structured in such a way that it accomodates both the low income Earners and the high income Earners. This is why we set accumulation target and aim to arrive at over accumulation which could be way above one bitcoin. I initially used to see it as that way where you have to gather up money to buy a complete bitcoin but being in this forum means you have the privilege to learn some of these things which will help your bitcoin career. Setting your DCA approach right could earn your one bitcoin in a year or more depending on your basic income and responsibilities.

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.

From what you've said, it is clear you are approaching Bitcoin from a trader’s mindset, and not the long term investing mindset. And honestly, I respect how open you are about your style. And it also shows you are still be new here.

You might want to take some time and really pay attention to the discussions happening in this forum. Most of us here are not chasing short term moves or trying to time tops and bottoms,  because it is not the best approach to Bitcoin investment, we’re building conviction over the long term. Bitcoin is not something you flip for quick gains, it is something you accumulate, understand, and hold with a long term vision using DCA method.

Anyone who is chasing short term profit will definitely end up somewhere they would not like, because when someone invested am amount that is beyond what they are suppose to invest with the hope and thought that they will make a bigger profit in a short time and if the investment doesn't go as planned and let say the money invested was money that was suppose to be use for a particular need and then after seeing the market Dip that is going opposite their expectation they will panic and sell in loss because the money was  supposed to be used for something so is not good and most people always make this mistake.

I disagree with one of your points here because most experienced investors do not chase short-term profits because they are familiar with Bitcoin and I think that is what those who are new to Bitcoin investment do because they seek short-term profits because they invest excess Bitcoin to grow their wealth quickly and then panic when they see the price of Bitcoin fluctuate and sell Bitcoin which hurts them financially,
By following the DCA strategy, you can gradually invest in Bitcoin so that you can invest it on a weekly or monthly basis. You will become experienced and confident in investing for a long time, while also being able to grow your wealth.

It seems like you still need to steer this person towards a long-term investment perspective, focusing on buying Bitcoin without worrying about determining low and high prices. This is because these investors are willing to buy Bitcoin at the current market price and don't immediately think about selling it again in the near future. And if someone can't afford to buy a large amount of Bitcoin all at once, they still have the option of paying in installments using the method you mentioned (DCA). I also prefer this method when buying Bitcoin without the intention of selling it in the near future.

This is because investors don't have to think about a specific entry price when buying; they simply need to put their money into the market. They can buy immediately without hesitation, and when the amount grows large, they can simply transfer it to a personal wallet on the exchange where they bought it, so their assets can be kept in a truly secure place.

I don't understand what you disagree with him on, he didn't say experienced investors chase short term profit, the fact the you are talking about an experienced bitcoin investor means that you are talking about someone who has been investing in bitcoin for years already and experience means understanding how something works so the investors understands how bitcoin works, Derek funds wasn't talking about experienced investors, he was talking about people who invest for short term gains and these kind of people aren't investors they are traders

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?

Well, that just shows that the market is unpredictable.

You can't time the market because it's very unpredictable. You might see it's price going up for a few hours then suddenly, it will go down. Just look at Bitcoin's price a few days ago when the Coinbase anomaly happened. It went down from I think around $68,000 to nearly $59,000 in just a span of a few minutes.

What's my take on what's happening right now? We're in a time where we need to wait for the market to correct before entering. We have been seeing the market going up for days already, and I don't see any reason for me to enter the market when the market is on the green. I mean we want to buy coins at a lower price, so it's better to just wait until the market corrects then that's the time for us to buy.

Bitcoin market is not something someone can predict, just like dollar. But just buy and keep and I will advice for anyone buying not to use all his funds to buy so he won't be tempted to sell sharp sharp.

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.

If you are waiting for the price of bitcoin to be stable before you can buy or sell, it will take you a long time to see such opportunity in the market. You can buy now that the price has decreased to $118k and hold for long term because nobody know when the low price will hit the market again to be stable for people to buy from the low price.

Bitcoin price going from the range of $120k down to $118k is not something that should trigger an investors buy or sell decision because that's relatively a small movement we are considering so. With a week, we can see that sort of movement happening a lot of times and if you're moved by that, how many times can you comfortably make your buy or sell decision within such short span of time?

What every investor should be after is how to buy continuously so as to get to a comfortable accumulation zone. As much as necessary, selling at your accumulation zone should be out of the equation while what should be your main plan should be to startegize on how best to stay invested and build ones portfolio with the best strategy possible.

there is no how you will hold bitcoin for more than five years without a good income from your holding, but when you allow fear to enter you, you will sell to regret because you allow fear to push you to sell when it's not time to sell to achieve your heart desire from your holding.

This is the reason why at ones accumulation phase, the plan should be on how to continue accumulating more coin and never selling it till you've reached the goal you have set for yourself.

Five years interval might look like a long time but with a proper plan that's implementable on ground, it will be easy to have a smooth buying journey and in the long run reach your investment goal.
