Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?

Aggressive buying of bitcoin, I think has to do with the rapidness to which your increasing your bitcoin accumulation, including your lot size within a particular period of time, either as a result of a dip that you've seen or supposedly an increase in your discretionary income, moreover you will not have to be aggressive all the time, so you will have to resort back to your original lot size after your done with your aggressive accumulation for that period. But accumulating bitcoin outside of you descriptionary income, wether aggressive or not, is totally out of it, as whatever you do should be within your discretionary income.

Agreed, everything should be done in the context of discretionary income, when people want to invest aggressively in Bitcoin with more money than they can afford, that is, with their required money, then it is definitely a wrong decision, and the main reason for their such decisions is that they make such decisions to make short-term profits, and due to the volatile nature of Bitcoin, those who think of making such short-term profits, ultimately face disappointment. As an investor, of course, through discretionary income, you must make long-term decisions, and prepare emergency funds to keep your holdings safe for the long term, and buy Bitcoin consistently through DCA.

One of things killing people's ambition when it comes investing is that people don't have a well structured planning and before a successful result people even forget that they need to have a good source of income for the stability because to fund the investment money is very important and this why people are always advised to have a source because even of you want to do DCA and you don't have a source of income there is no way that strategy can even work. And we know how people are always eager of wanting to  make money from bitcoin and it everyone's dream but if the proper step is not taking then all effort might end viod. And there people that might be lucky to have made a short time profit and it does not mean that everyone will be that lucky. And people need to learn from people that are already investing. There is always something to learn always and even here there different comments that people can learn from so I don't take anything for granted because knowledge is important.

Agree, It all comes down to discipline and planning. Aggressive buying only makes sense within the confines of your discretionary income and from a well-thought-out plan. Especially with how fickle the market can be, Bitcoin requires some patience and a realistic perspective, and it can stress you out and you might end up wasting money if you go in with money you need. Like DCA, regular accumulation along with a good emergency fund will help keep you in the game for the long-term without putting your finances at risk. In addition, it's important to have a solid source of income otherwise, all good strategies break down. Educating yourself, being patient, and following a plan will typically beat the desire to chase quick returns.

Yeah only few people know about it since there are lots of people want to trade for quick profits rather than doing long term holding on Bitcoin. Not all have long patience since they are scared about the future and don't have confident that great things will happen.

But usually this people regret especially Bitcoin hit its new all time high. Then those people HODL are earning good with those efforts they made.

It take lots of courage to HODL Bitcoin since its serious conviction. But its all worth it especially that we see the progress of Bitcoin even by now and hopefully these situation will be seen by those doubters and think about doing long term instead of selling early their Bitcoin.

In particular, learning from others will save a tonne of trial and error, when it comes to Bitcoin. Instead of having to invent the wheel, you can get ideas from how experienced investors combine DCA with buying the dip, or with other minor adjustments. At the same time, it's important to have the right personal plan according to your financial capacity and long-term goals. Remember, long-term and multi-market trading support customer confidence, patience, and conviction for a strategy to pay off, and that chasing the adrenaline rush of quick profits has often ended in regret.

Your comment is very misleading. An investor never needs to understand the volatility of Bitcoin to invest. Only if a person has basic knowledge about Bitcoin and a source of discretionary income can that person invest.

If you don't understand Bitcoin volatility, even with a source of income and discretionary income, you would still find Bitcoin difficult to invest in. There are people who have income and discretionary income who find it difficult to invest, and those who try to invest when the price of Bitcoin falls may panic and sell at a loss; this is because they lack understanding.

Understanding is the principal thing when it comes to Bitcoin investment. When you have this understanding, you will know what to do with your income and discretionary income. However, when the understanding is not there, you will be confused; even if you try to invest in Bitcoin, you will be uncertain about what to do, especially when the Bitcoin price drops.

Having the money isn't everything, however, unless the Bitcoin investor gets an adequate understanding of the Bitcoin's behaviour, particularly its buzz, then even the most experienced investor may blunder. Having an idea of knowing what to expect from price swings will help you to stick to the plan, not panic sell and make a more rational decision with your funds. It's not just about having money to invest, it's about pairing that money with knowledge and strategy in order to remain consistent and confident for the long term.

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?

That's just the nature of coins, they are either appreciating or depreciating in value, never stable but always fluctuating which is why those who study the market with keen interest always find it easy to predict when there may be a possible rise in value, and that why it is also important to always study market before buying any coin, I think this is one strategy that many people neglect whenever they intend to invest in Bitcoin.

If you invest in Bitcoin according to the DCA method, you can definitely invest with more certainty in the future. Because people in almost all countries of the world trust Bitcoin, but Bitcoin plays the most attractive and most important role in getting the highest benefits and being economically successful in the future. The more you push yourself into Bitcoin, the more success you will achieve.
Focus only on buying Bitcoin because you will definitely get the highest success, by buying Bitcoin you will get success in a short time and the longer you wait, the more success you will get. Investing in Bitcoin is most profitable in the long term than in the short term, that is why investing in Bitcoin according to the DCA method definitely makes it easier to keep it for a long time.

However, before investing, you need to remember and create some things. That is an emergency fund.

The Emergency funds is an essential part of our bitcoin investment plan. However, it’s not mandatory that before you start accumulating and investing in bitcoin you must have an Emergency funds, not having an already established emergency funds shouldn’t stop you from getting started in your bitcoin investment journey as you can always create an emergency funds along side while accumulating bitcoin. The most important thing is for you to be able to figure out a discretionary income to use and accumulate and invest in bitcoin to hold for the long term goal, and as time goes on you can be able to set some money aside for your emergency funds which will help you to keep your bitcoin investment afloat and not tend to selling your holdings for an emergency situation that requires cash to solve.

So buying at any market price without waiting for the market downturn will be negative.

I don’t seem to get what you mean by negative in buying at any market price. Because in my own experience I’ve got to understand that when you’re consistently accumulating bitcoin without waiting for the market downturn is a really good approach towards helping you to gradually build up your portfolio and of course yield a positive impact in the future of your investment. Waiting for a market downturn before you accumulate bitcoin will only result to some negative impact in building up your portfolio as it will generally slow you down and you might end up not being able to continue your investment.

You are absolutely right that it is important to know which currency you are buying first because the up/down and future prospects of each coin are not the same. A few times, we buy or sell suddenly due to market emotions, which later turns into regret. If it is BTC (Imagine Bitcoin), then it is normal for the price value to fluctuate in the short term. There have always been big corrections or dips in the history of Bitcoin, but in the long term, it is usually upward. Especially when there is a possibility of a halving cycle or super cycle in the market. It is often profitable to hold patiently. So it is better not to buy/Sell in a hurry here.

On the other hand...
If it is an altcoin (ETH, SOL, ADA...) and many coins, then the strategy is a little different. The price of altcoins is much more volatile than that of bitcoin. Usually, if an altcoin gives a profit of 20-30% or more from your entry price, then it is wise to sell gradually. Because many altcoins can rise sharply in the market at one time but later collapse.

The most important thing is to make decisions through technical analysis (TA). (TA means that technical analysis) Identify support and resistance levels. Try to understand the strength of buyers and sellers by looking at volume analysis.

At last, we know that DOYR is a very important part of our cryptocurrency. It is very important to do your own research (DYOR - Do Your Own Research) while making your own decisions and not just going by someone's advice. Because emotion or hype in the market can often lead you in the wrong direction. Good results can be achieved only through patience, correct information, and risk management.

This thread is not about shitcoins or to ponder over which shitcoin might be less shitty.  You should try to stay on topic.  Bitcoin and shitcoins are different things, even though many shitcoins try to present themselves as being similar to bitcoin or better than bitcoin in some kind of way in order to get people to buy those inferior products.

What do a new investor who wants to start his bitcoin investment needs technical analysis for when he's not a trader. Why do you need to think about shitcoins when bitcoin is the only unique one amongst the rest and it has been proved to be a store of value overtime.

A new investor only needs to invest in bitcoin provided he has his discretionary income available and continue buying with DCA for 4-10 years and above irrespective of the price of bitcoin. Technical analysis is useless for a long-term bitcoin investor who has a bitcoin target to reach. Even with all the technical analysis that traders do, they still run at loss in the long term and you want a newbie who doesn't understand anything about the market to waste his whole time trying to study the market to know when is the right time to buy bitcoin.

 It means that you will remain a no coiner for a very long period of time and bitcoin price will keep on increasing while you are waiting for no reason. You sound like a shitcoiner and that shows that you are gambling with your time, money and energy. Studying the market keeps you sleepless night. I hope that you can change your mindset and start your bitcoin investment so that you don't regret your actions in the future.

Looking at your profile, you registered on 25th of August 2025, meaning that you have barely stayed up to 2weeks here, I welcome you first and I will advise you to breath in and out first, relax your nerves a bit,  @Hridyansh Labs our discussion here is centered on the good strategy that we can use to invest in bitcoin for a long-term and every thing that's has to do with Bitcoin generally, please you're advised to stay on the bone of contention no form of deviation, no matter the knowledge you think you got, just know that you're still a newbie whether you like it or not and the best you should do to learn hear is to read through to understand what's been discussed here before you contribute, as a newbie I believe you should be more concerned about how to start and even though you've started already, the next thing you should do is to put up strategy measures on how to sustain your investment than giving advise, you're still in your early stage, if people keep seeing you mentioning crypto, it will look as if you're not serious, dude my sincerest advise to you is to learn before you teach, it will help you, once more we are talking about Bitcoin investment, it is better you ask question relating to that than trying to deviate out of context, I think this will do us good.

The promoters of shitcoins lure high profits so that newbies easily fall into their trap. Inexperienced and new investors expect high profits in a very short time and they blindly buy those dumb and low-quality products without analyzing the currency. The developers of these products advertise in such a way that they will have skyrocketing potential in a very short time but it was a trap like a spider web for inexperienced and new investors. They can understand in a very short time but they get stuck there and lose their money.
We have a great method like DCA method through which we can deposit Bitcoin even if our income is low and increase our Bitcoin holding through this inovative process.

If you are able to spare your emergency funds then your Bitcoin investment is safe for long term. Because in case you need any cash to meet emergency requirements then you won't touch your Bitcoin investment. We need to be very clear about the fact that bitcoin is one of the best thing to invest if you can hold it for 5 to 10 years. Emergency funds along with discretionary income are part of our Bitcoin investment strategies and must be kept in mind while planning bitcoin investment strategy. Having discretionary income help you in buying Bitcoin at regular intervals or lump sum without touching your monthly salary.

[edited out]

Liked how you broke this whole thing down with the numbers and examples, because a lot of people just say invest in Bitcoin without really understanding the context of the whole money division and where the money is supposed to come from.  At the end of the day, it is that leftover cash after bills and survival that really matters. Like you said If someone is earning $2k and has about $700 left, the way he spreads that $700 tells a lot about his priorities. Some might say throwing 70% of your leftover cash into Bitcoin is kind of too much, but for me putting just 5 to 10% looks too safe….   Personally, to be honest, I do feel okay with 40-60% then sometimes maybe 70%, I will dare not put above 80% or 100% of my discretionary income, reason because I feel more secure having left over cash at hand just because of minor unexpected expenses and responsibilities that I know will always come around..    But the truth is both sides can win depending on how consistent and disciplined they are. I do not even think it is fair to look down on the smaller investors, because honestly, even putting 5-10% every month over years adds up big time with Bitcoin. For me, the real thing is not trying to compete with who goes all in, but making sure I am consistent and not breaking myself in the process.

I agree that investing 5% to 10% of your income into bitcoin can end up adding to a lot of money, especially relative to a lot of folks who never hardly put anything into investing and/or savings, and even if they might save for a few months or a few years, they are not building it up in reasonable ways since they might just save up for a year or  two  so that they can buy a car or a cell phone or a computer or to go on a trip to some far away location.  

These are not necessarily good habits, and I even made some of the same mistakes with some of my own practices since ever since I was very young, and I started to live on my own and to support myself (meaning no longer living with my parents and/or getting support from them), I had learned some personal financial management practices, where I pretty much forced myself to engage in various kinds of savings/investments of at least 10% of my income - however, I recall tapping into it a few times when I was younger, which actually caused a large loss of progress on several occasions, and I did not realize it.  I also did not have as good of places to put money as bitcoin, yet part of the problem is that there are temptations to spend or maybe to not have to work as much, so the savings/investments end up either getting overly depleted but also it does not build up enough or get put into assets that are productive (and/or growth oriented). Sure we did not have bitcoin during my first 20-ish years of investing, so I am not sure if bitcoin could have had fixed some of my faulty thinking in regards to wanting to benefit from my investment way sooner than waht is overall prudent and even profitable in a future-oriented way so that I probably could have had gotten to fuck you status way earlier than I did... but mistakes are frequently made with a lot of folks in terms of needing to learn how to invest, how to manage finances and how to defer gratification.

What stood out to me in your first point is how easy it is to underestimate the damage of breaking savings too often, because from my side, I have seen that it is not always about lack of discipline alone but also the way life throws unavoidable responsibilities at you..  A funny fact is that when you are just starting out, it is hard to separate true emergencies from ordinary wants, and that confusion is what eats into the savings more than anything..   Then I used to convince myself that buying a useful item was an investment in itself, only to realize later it was just another expense that erased my months of buildup..  That is why I now look at Bitcoin as more than just a vehicle for my growth, it is like a filter for my own decisions.. And now based on how I have been able to manage my finances a bit, I hardly feel any urge to sell, because I nw know deep down that expense is probably not as urgent as I am making it look, and which I have made and kept backup funds to sort that expenses..  I would say Bitcoin investment is also kidda letting me to differentiate between what is truly necessary and what is just another excuse to touch money….

Part of the problem with 5% to 10 % is that it will take 10 to 20 years to merely invest 1 year's income into bitcoin (or whatever it is that is being bought), and the other problem is that guys are going to be tempted to tap into it too soon or to slow down in their accumulation of it too soon since they will perceive themselves as having had made a lot of money whether or not the asset (bitcoin in this case) appreciates, and if the asset ends up appreciating, then it can be even more challenging to keep the person investing rather than either selling too much too early or slowing down in his ongoing accumulation.

One of the great things about bitcoin is that it gives a place to focus, even though people can still get distracted and mislead by its past performance to slow down in their accumulation and/or to sell too much too soon.

Surely, investing something like 5% to 10% of a guys income into bitcoin is better than nothing, and guys have to figure out how much is comfortable for them in terms of is it not too whimpy.. and sometimes concerns that maybe they might want to lean towards more aggressive investing, yet if they are a bit uncomfortable, sometimes they can slow down in their ongoing bitcoin accumulation instead of stopping and/or selling..

When it comes to percentages, I honestly think the main reason people slow down or even sell too soon is because they never really made up their mind on what Bitcoin means to them in the first place..  Some may see it as a quick hustle, others see it as a serious long term play, and that difference always shows the moment price starts moving.. For me, I look at mine more like a foundation, something I am building under me, so I do not mind putting 40–60% / 70% of what I can spare into it and just keeping the rest for day to day stuff and businesses... That way I am not stressing or depending on Bitcoin for any financial need, which makes it easier to stay consistent…. And yeah, I agree 5–10% works too, but only if the person is clear from the start and does not break the routine once they feel like they have made enough..  To me, the real challenge is not even the percentage, it’s whether you can keep at it month after month without falling into that comfort zone…

I think that you have the right ideas Mr_Brilliant$, including our own needs to assess and to reassess from time to time, and even our needs to attempt to learn from the various mistakes that we are likely to make along the way.. so if we are making various adjustments and trying to stay in the game, then we are likely going to figure out ways to end up profiting way more from our having had gotten into bitcoin (and our giving some priorities to bitcoin investing and/or maintenance) as compared with if we had not gotten into bitcoin and learned about investing and the various kinds of special aspects of cashflow management practices that help us to be better bitcoin investors.

Yeah, the whole process is really about staying in the game, adjusting when needed and learning from those slip ups along the way... For me, I just put my mind more on doing what works best for me, even though I do have a plan I am working with.. As long as i keep giving Bitcoin that level of priority and discipline, I sure the growth that comes out of it will always outweigh the mistakes…

What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?

Bitcoin is very volatile; you can buy Bitcoin today, and the price can drop in the next few minutes. This doesn't mean you have lost the value of your Bitcoin or that the price will continue to fall and won't rise again. You have to understand volatility before investing in Bitcoin. If you don't understand it, you will always have problems with when to buy Bitcoin and when to sell. There is no perfect time to buy Bitcoin; you can always buy Bitcoin at any time, and if you do, you need to hold it for the long term. If you have made a good profit while holding, it is up to you to decide when to sell.

Saying this to a newbie, i find it misleading and problematic because a newbie can invest in Bitcoin and hold it for 3 months and see a profit, and if the newbie follows your advice and decides to sell his/her Bitcoin means that the newbie is chasing after short term gains, and the newbie might regret his/her actions in the future when the price of Bitcoin will be so high. It is better to tell a newbie to hold his/her for a minimum of 4 years before having the thought of selling his/her Bitcoin so that the Bitcoin investment will generate good profit.

Truly, timing the market perfectly is almost impossible especially with how volatile crypto can be, i think it really comes down to your own risk tolerance and goals. given the current market climate some coins might be good buys if you believe in the fundamentals, but it is always smart to do your research and not just follow hype.

It's unwise timing the market because by doing so you are going to miss so many buying opportunities that would have been used to buy more Bitcoin, but talking about the highlighted statement, it seems like you are very happy f**king around with shit coin that would not take you anywhere, or don't you know that investing in alt and meme coin are gambling?
It doesn't matter if you do a good research or not, their is nothing good coming out from shit coin, so the earlier you kill that thought of investing in shit coin, the better.

Those who believe in sheetcoins basically lose their capital, believe like a fool and in the end they blame cryptocurrency. They create backbiting to others for their wrong beliefs, (Bitcoin is Bitcoin) No other coin is ever compared to Bitcoin. From the beginning of this thread to today, no one has been able to prove that sheetcoin is good, but you can ask thousands of millions and educated people in almost all countries of the world, they will definitely give you positive ideas about Bitcoin. And to get proof of Bitcoin, you can learn about El Salvador.

It is never a good idea to invest in sheet coins. Because when these coins are first launched in the market, their value only increases. As soon as a few days pass, the value of these coins decreases at once. Bitcoin is the king of all coins. All these coins in the market are never compared to Bitcoin. There are many coins in the market that are fraudulent. For example, suppose a coin named A has been launched in the market. The owner of this coin will promote it in the market with the help of some big people and when the value of this coin increases a lot, he will sell all the coins he has. In this way, many fraudsters are currently cheating. Always focus on Bitcoin.

You do not need much to invest in Bitcoin. If you have basic knowledge about Bitcoin and if you have a source of discretionary income, then you can invest. You can do research after investing, but it is never right to delay investing for research before starting the investment.

The most important thing is for you to be able to figure out a discretionary income to use and accumulate and invest in bitcoin to hold for the long term goal, and as time goes on you can be able to set some money aside for your emergency funds which will help you to keep your bitcoin investment afloat and not tend to selling your holdings for an emergency situation that requires cash to solve.

If you are able to spare your emergency funds then your Bitcoin investment is safe for long term. Because in case you need any cash to meet emergency requirements then you won't touch your Bitcoin investment. We need to be very clear about the fact that bitcoin is one of the best thing to invest if you can hold it for 5 to 10 years. Emergency funds along with discretionary income are part of our Bitcoin investment strategies and must be kept in mind while planning bitcoin investment strategy. Having discretionary income help you in buying Bitcoin at regular intervals or lump sum without touching your monthly salary.

Long-term Bitcoin holding always gives people the greatest chance of success, so investing according to a 5 to 10 year plan will give you a very good chance of success, but to sustain this investment in the long term, people will always have to face difficult situations, so it should never be seen as easy, it is more difficult than people expect, especially for those who decide to invest in Bitcoin without any emergency fund due to their self-confidence, this can really lead to a terrible situation, and this is why it is essential to prepare an emergency fund if you want to hold Bitcoin effectively in the long term, having an emergency fund reduces the mental stress in investing a lot, because you do not have to sell Bitcoin suddenly, and as a result, no matter what situation arises, your Bitcoin investment will not be threatened in any way.

This thread is not about shitcoins or to ponder over which shitcoin might be less shitty.  You should try to stay on topic.  Bitcoin and shitcoins are different things, even though many shitcoins try to present themselves as being similar to bitcoin or better than bitcoin in some kind of way in order to get people to buy those inferior products.

There have never been any kind of way we can compare shitcoins to Bitcoin and it would be of any advantage with  the exception of quick transaction due to zero traffic and usage of these shit coins other than that, they all tail behind Bitcoin like we have it on every chart and market capitalization. Bitcoin is on a category of its own that’s why, you hardly mention cryptos and don’t seem to find Bitcoin in there.

There have been several forks that try to copy and match it but, none of them have come even close.

Sometimes I think it’s ignorant that makes this folks come here to talk about shitcoins, and I doubt they even know what this thread is all about and they didn’t read about what is happening here, that is why it’s important to always go through our beginners and help, and why even having second thoughts about shitcoins when shittycoin depends on bitcoin to thrive, do they even thrive which I think NO, because this shittycoin doesn’t thrive on their own.

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?

That's just the nature of coins, they are either appreciating or depreciating in value, never stable but always fluctuating which is why those who study the market with keen interest always find it easy to predict when there may be a possible rise in value, and that why it is also important to always study market before buying any coin, I think this is one strategy that many people neglect whenever they intend to invest in Bitcoin.

If you invest in Bitcoin according to the DCA method, you can definitely invest with more certainty in the future. Because people in almost all countries of the world trust Bitcoin, but Bitcoin plays the most attractive and most important role in getting the highest benefits and being economically successful in the future. The more you push yourself into Bitcoin, the more success you will achieve.
Focus only on buying Bitcoin because you will definitely get the highest success, by buying Bitcoin you will get success in a short time and the longer you wait, the more success you will get. Investing in Bitcoin is most profitable in the long term than in the short term, that is why investing in Bitcoin according to the DCA method definitely makes it easier to keep it for a long time.

You are right that the crypto market is volatile and perfectly timing the market is almost impossible. For example, in late 2017, the value of Bitcoin spiked to almost 20000 and then plummeted to around 3000 over the next year, giving an idea of how unpredictable these short-term movements can be. Using Dollar-Cost Averaging can help address these swings and take some of the stress of trying to buy at the "perfect" moment. That being said, trying to concentrate solely on Bitcoin does carry a degree of risk, and having a smaller portion in other reliable assets can provide an added layer of safety. The big lesson here is to invest consistently, be patient and don't fret over short term price movements.

This thread is an easy one , just buy not sell especially when you are still new to bitcoin investment and this is not the shitcoins or altcoins discussion board . Here we talk about buying bitcoin and how to take profit when the right time comes after hitting your accumulation goal .

Most folk are into shitcoins cause they believe they can make good return fast from it , when fully knowing that nothing come that easy shitcoins bring big returns but same time is way riskier compare to bitcoin that’s why bitcoin is way safer.

Truly, timing the market perfectly is almost impossible especially with how volatile crypto can be, i think it really comes down to your own risk tolerance and goals. given the current market climate some coins might be good buys if you believe in the fundamentals, but it is always smart to do your research and not just follow hype.

Yo, If you are actually referring to Bitcoin as crypto, then I will have to disagree with you straight up because that is where a lot of people get it wrong.. Bitcoin is not just another crypto, it is Bitcoin completely different from the thousands of shit coins you see floating around... Classifying it under the same category as those endless shitcoins is a huge mistake because Bitcoin was built to stand on its own.. It has no founder team that can dump on you, no central figure to change the rules, and it is not something you compare with shitcoins that rise and die with hype.. All of this shitcoins are trying to ride on the back of Bitcoin’s invention, but Bitcoin itself is in a class of its own, and don’t need those fake promises..

Also, trying to time Bitcoin’s price movement is honestly not a wise approach because it is impossible. Nobody in history has been able to predict its moves perfectly and whoever claims they can is fooling themselves or others. If you keep looking at it with the mindset of catching the exact top or bottom, you will always miss the bigger picture, which is its long term picture. That is why those who succeed with Bitcoin do not stress about timing, they accumulate, they hold, and they let time do the heavy lifting…
