It is also true that you usually need to go through at least one full cycle to really understand what bitcoin is all about and to start seeing real gains.

We cannot overlooked on some specific aspects of bitcoin investment and how we could go about in it's profitability, staying long in the market is important because we are going to hold and in doing so for years, if possible after two consecutive halving, we can be profitable in our investment beyond measure, which is the first aspect and best suit in for those willing to hold for long their investments asset .

On the other side, it may not require this much, but we have to consider the rate at which we may be into profits on this not to be ad upto the first decision mentioned above, as we may only be buying the dip and selling when the market pumps and we continue with this all over again, it allows to earn at every market phase wr are as we maintain with our investment, this strategy may be o ly best for the experienced investors, while the other can be done by newbies because all they have to do is holding over time to be in gain.

When we talk about Bitcoin investment, there are certain fundamentals that cannot be ignored if we want lasting profitability. The first is time. Bitcoins growth has historically rewarded those who hold through the years, especially across multiple halving cycles. Two consecutive halvings can completely change the value landscape, and those who stay the course often see returns that far exceed short term expectations. This approach does not require constant market monitoring, it requires patience, conviction, and the ability to think in years rather than weeks.

The second one is understanding your capacity before you even start..... This means being honest about whether you have money you can set aside without it affecting your daily life. Discretionary income, the funds left after all essential needs are met, is what should be allocated to Bitcoin. Investing beyond your comfort zone can lead to poor decisions driven by pressure or fear, and that is the fastest way to derail your goals.

Combining patience with knowledge is one of the most effective ways to approach Bitcoin. By committing to consistent contributions, avoiding emotionally driven decisions, and keeping your focus on the long term vision, you create the best conditions to benefit from Bitcoins unique growth over time.

The history can scare people out of investing into bitcoin, yet it seems that historically, the answer of investing as much as you are able to and attempting to front load your investment have tended to pay off... yet we surely tend to need at least a whole cycle to begin to have some confidence, and also there is likely some value to ongoingly buying rather than just buying once... and so it can be difficult for guys who buy a lot and then the BTC price goes down from the point of their purchase, which I tend to suggest to just keep buying... and so sometimes it can take a whole cycle or longer to really begin to be profitable and then to feel like you have more options, so focusing on levels of profits in less than 4 year timelines seems problematic, and keeping on building and holding bitcoin seems to be  a good strategy for over more than one cycle rather than limiting the timeline to one cycle.

That is absolutely true, Actually I was scared as well considering the details and history of Bitcoin how Bitcoin is a volatile asset, that the price do fluctuate and also the volatile nature of Bitcoin that makes it unpredictable at some point I was wondering how I would be able to invest and continue accumulating when my asset would be moving upwards and downward, then I gained momentum and motivation when I realized that I could invest and continue to hodl for a long term goal instead of always thinking about the inconsistency of the price and market nature, sometimes I would prefer buying more and consistently on a gradual process when I have a discretionary income, which sometimes when an opportunity of more discretionary income well I could decide to front load instead of buying all at once which might not really happen for me in a long term, and I might find it very difficult to keep up with that strategy because of insufficient discretionary amounts to keep front loading then it will be more sustainable to keep buying little by little on a gradual scale, sometimes when we front load probably aiming to have profit in less than a full circle might actually be nonproductive because we might face some challenges with the price of bitcoin fluctuating, we might even need to still endure for more than one circle to have the opportunity to have enough profit, which is more wise to entertain buying gradually, and small small on a weekly or monthly basis when we have a discretionary amount. I will keep building and holding which is possible with more than one circle so to have the opportunity to accumulate enough bitcoin and still continue to sustain my Bitcoin instead of limiting myself to a single circle.

Bitcoin history does not have to be scary for us that have witnessed a substantial part of that full history and can bear witness that for each circle in bitcoin history that aggressive buyers that patiently hold their portfolio with a successively intervals accumulations after having to front load they have perpetually made significant profit. Price fluctuations are inevitable for bitcoin, a volatile asset and it is our duty to maximise these price falls in the long term projection to accumulate as much as our discretionary income allows be it for a single circle or more.

This image just tells the whole story without even trying too hard.. So many persons still stuck on I will wait for the perfect entry mindset, they keep saying they will buy when Bitcoin drops to this or that price, but months pass and they are still standing on the same step, watching the market move without them. The funny thing is, even if price actually hits their dream number, most of them still freeze because fear kicks in…. Meanwhile, the person who decided to just buy a little bit consistently, no matter the price, is already halfway up the ladder without stressing over every chart move..

To be honest I'm  not in support of waiting to let price get to a favorable entry zone before buying bitcoins. In fact, waiting could mean you'll  never get to experience that price range you've  been waiting for a long time, because the market is indeed  volatile and prediction doesn't always go as plan. I could remember the early part of last month, we had several  person making prediction of bitcoin dropping down to a good buying position due to chart pattern. But price ended breaking another ATH which is $123k and market price is still around the ATH zone. The best approach to bitcoin investment that I've seen so far is accumulating bitcoin using the DCA strategy. You can imagine  a scenario where such person wanted to make an investment of $100 but waiting for the price to get to probably $75k but price didn't, it's  possible  he may end up spending the money after waiting  for a whole month and price didn't get to that level.  
But for someone  who's using DCA he might split the $100 into 10 part investing $10 weekly  while the remaining are kept as emergency fund. And it might be shocking to know that the person who is waiting  for price to get to a certain  level may not have an emergency fund to fall back to when emergency need arise, and may end up withdrawing from his Bitcoin investment.

The perfect time to buy Bitcoin is when you have the fund, no need to wait for the perfect entry point because you don't control it's price. Bitcoin is volatile and anything can happen within the shortest period of time either to your expectations or not. So don't sit and wait when you can buy, if you have the funds buy immediately and look forward to buying again. I wonder why you should wait for dip when you know that Bitcoin will reach ATH sooner or later, you can buy now and if it dip you can still buy again so far you're on DCA strategy.

For most of us that have financial responsibilities delays could be dangerous, when you budget money for something do it immediately the money enters your hands. If you don't have money in abundance there's need to be proactive, when it enters use it judiciously and if you have allocated it to buy Bitcoin don't hesitate because it's a store of value.

You are right, when he has money in the fund like buying bitcoin, then they can start buying bitcoin. He should not sit and watch the market, because the market is always changing, he cannot say for sure what the next market will do. So if you have money in the fund, then you can start. Yes, it is right if he understands that the market will dip very soon and there is a possibility of dumping the market very soon. In that case, he can be patient for some time, when you understand that the market will start rising again, then you can start buying bitcoin.

Yes, it is right if you have a proper understanding of the market and a proper understanding of technical analysis and fundamental analysis and if you have the ability to examine the market properly, then you can take a decision by examining the market properly. I don't think investing in bitcoin will be risky for you, I think it is the best currency for you for a long-term investment which is very easy and you can continue to invest without risk.

. Yes, it is right if he understands that the market will dip very soon and there is a possibility of dumping the market very soon. In that case, he can be patient for some time, when you understand that the market will start rising again, then you can start buying bitcoin.

This is a terrible advice especially to a newbie that has low or no stash of bitcoin, don't you know that by waiting, you may miss a whole lot of buying opportunity thinking that the price might go deeper?
Just buy if your discretionary income is available, that's the best way to invest and accumulate a very huge stash of bitcoin for the future.

Yes, it is right if you have a proper understanding of the market and a proper understanding of technical analysis and fundamental analysis and if you have the ability to examine the market properly, then you can take a decision by examining the market properly. I don't think investing in bitcoin will be risky for you, I think it is the best currency for you for a long-term investment which is very easy and you can continue to invest without risk.

This is not the best way to invest in bitcoin, knowledge in technical and fundamental analysis are for traders not investors like us, trying to outsmart the market is the easiest way to lose money, just ask a few traders, they will tell you, if they will ever admit to it

[POPOLUV]

Considering the history of Bitcoin is very important for new investors, because if they consider history, they will see that many investors who invested patiently and when the price of Bitcoin started increasing from that investment, they still kept their greed behind and remained steadfast in their right decisions, which is why they have been rewarded in the present time, on the other hand, there were many who knew about Bitcoin but did not come forward to invest in Bitcoin, and many others invested but due to their greed they could not bring their investment forward because they might have panicked after seeing the price of Bitcoin fluctuate and sold it, or else they could not control their greed when the price of Bitcoin started increasing, but they are the ones who regret it in the present time because they have got the results of their actions, so it is important for new investors to know and gain experience well about the history of Bitcoin.  If you want to strengthen your investments at the present time, you can use the DCA strategy and do it for a long time, even if your investment is small. By using the DCA strategy, you will get rid of the worries of when to enter or exit the market.

Yea you are right, looking at the historical record of Bitcoin and how it has fought his way up is really going to be encouraging for newbies investors to have more faith and will in investing in Bitcoin but I believe that the best possible way a newbie investors will invest in Bitcoin is having the right knowledge and mindset from the very beginning, that's why it very important on who introduced Bitcoin to you, if you knew about Bitcoin from a trader, their is a higher probability that he might mislead you and you will come with the mindset of buying and selling once it appreciate in value, but if you were introduced to it by a real investor, someone like jayjuangee that has seen it all , someone that knows all it entails to be successful in it, their is a higher probability that you will be successful in your investment because you got into it with the right knowledge.
In essence of what am trying to say is that who introduced an individual to Bitcoin has a major role to play in how the said person goes about his Bitcoin investment.

The history can scare people out of investing into bitcoin, yet it seems that historically, the answer of investing as much as you are able to and attempting to front load your investment have tended to pay off... yet we surely tend to need at least a whole cycle to begin to have some confidence, and also there is likely some value to ongoingly buying rather than just buying once... and so it can be difficult for guys who buy a lot and then the BTC price goes down from the point of their purchase, which I tend to suggest to just keep buying... and so sometimes it can take a whole cycle or longer to really begin to be profitable and then to feel like you have more options, so focusing on levels of profits in less than 4 year timelines seems problematic, and keeping on building and holding bitcoin seems to be  a good strategy for over more than one cycle rather than limiting the timeline to one cycle.

Sir i can testify on how the historical background of Bitcoin have kept me away from not developing the interest at all after a friend of mine first introduced me into Bitcoin since 2022 and i couldn't show any interest because i was very scared because all my thinking then was that was i start to invest that i can lose all my money in Bitcoin but with the present economy of the country right now and the situation of economy being so hard as life goes on have removed the fear that i had then because assuming i followed that my friend that once introduced me to Bitcoin then, i could have make allot of profits like him now, but i know that it is never too late for me to start investing and ever since i have been investing with DCA strategy, i have come to realized that there is know need of me being scared to invest in Bitcoin since 2022 that i was introduced to Bitcoin that wasted my time of my refuser of developing interest to have the full knowledge on how Bitcoin works and how i should have go about Bitcoin portfolio then, but now i know better that is good to have investments for  future purposes.

The only scary part before is we don't know about what's coming around in future. Bitcoin has no solid foundation before and it was built with pure ambition that it became a digitalized alternative to fiat.

But now to lucky for those people who knows it because they can actually look at the past and current happenings especially on its development side. Since they can really see that Bitcoin is great asset which could potentially give them profits if they invest wise then choose to hold their Bitcoin for many years.

For sure they would never worried about those volatile movement if they HODL and better they focus on accumulating rather than getting stress for always looking on its technicalities.

[Platinumys]

An investor who has been involved in investing in Bitcoin for a long time actually has a good idea about Bitcoin but a new investor who is just starting to invest does not have such a good idea about investing, as a result of which it is seen that if no one helps him in terms of long-term investment planning, he starts investing in any coin other than Bitcoin and later he regrets it.

we have gone passed that stage of still doing comparison on whether bitcoin is better than any other asset class or wether one should invest in some coin at the expense of investing in bitcoin. such kind of conversation and opinion is just an indicator that we are not seeing the direction bitcoin is headed to and that we are just dragging our legs behind.

bitcoin is yet again about to cross the last all time high it once got to not long ago and and with the way it is going, it is only showing us that we will continue to see it going high to more all time high in the future. a newbie just need to know this fact and focus his attention on bitcoin while for the old investor that has stayed long enough in the system, there is no need waiting for any form of motivation. the only thing to do is to keep buying, building your bitcoin stack and cut off from anything that looks like a major distraction.

i still remember coming into the system when bitcoin was bellow $40k and it looks as though $100k was something that is to big to even imagine, after less than two years, what can we then say? is it not clear that building ones stack from that point to this time has obviously placed one at a good profit region? that alone is a good inspiration to draw from to keep complete attention on bitcoin and focus more on best strategy that will help one build his bitcoin fast enough rather than trying to scatter ones holding by diverting attention to some coin that can only survive for the short term.

I may regret that I saw Bitcoin at its lowest price, if I could have bought some Bitcoin at that time, I would have made almost double the profit at this time. Due to not having a clear idea about investment at that time and not being inclined to take financial risks, I missed that investment opportunity, which I sometimes regret now. However, now I understand that there is no point in regretting what is gone, but I should plan for what is present. When the price of Bitcoin was at its highest level at that time, while investing, I felt that the market could fall below it and if it fell, I would suffer financially, so I did not invest then, but now I do not think about that. Although the Bitcoin market is now at its highest level, I am still trying to invest in Bitcoin consistently because like the previous market, the price of Bitcoin can increase further in the future, so if I do not invest now, I will miss the investment opportunity once again.

Scary part/potential part Whatever you consider I will continue to accumulate Bitcoin regularly and continue to attract new investors. I think we are doing great because we are accumulating Bitcoin through discretionary funds with basic knowledge rather than analyzing the technical structure of Bitcoin in detail.

With little knowledge we know that due to the limited supply of Bitcoin there is a high probability of its price increasing due to demand. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has accepted Bitcoin as legal tender considering the future scenario and is accumulating regularly. He is encouraging investors to hold more.

I agree with you that Bitcoin is a digitized alternative to fiat. I think Bitcoin is both a great digital asset for investment/accumulation and a strategic reserve for a country at large scale with individual centred development.

[Bd officer]

I agree with your points here, yet investing in bitcoin is not guaranteed to be profitable in the future, even though bitcoin is amongst the best (if not the best) place to put time, energy and value... but yeah, everyone is responsible to make their own choices regarding whether to get into bitcoin and how much to get into it.

Yes, there is no guarantee of profit, no one can guarantee profit. But Bitcoin has proven in the past that people who have invested in Bitcoin in the past and held on for the long term have benefited. Bitcoin has survived for 15 years so it is not wrong for us to expect even if there is no guarantee of future profit, so we can expect a good profit.

Now if we think about risk, then risk is involved in all cases. Now we have no guarantee of our own life, we can die anytime, so to achieve something good in the future we must take some risk. In fact, no person could succeed without taking risks, those who succeeded must have taken risks. Now there are different sectors to invest in, among which Bitcoin can be the best, one can expect to make good returns if one invests in Bitcoin and holds long term. Now investing in Bitcoin is everyone's personal matter. But we should try to find the best place to invest.
Don't sell, just buy.

It is very  true mate,  in Bitcoins  early days, there was no clear roadmap, just belief and ambition. Today, we have over a decade of history, adoption growth, and proven resilience to look back on. That changes the game for anyone paying attention. If you understand where Bitcoin has been and where it’s heading, short term volatility stops feeling like a threat and starts looking like opportunity. The real edge is in holding for the long run and steadily building your position, instead of letting every price swing dictate your emotions.

An investor who has been involved in investing in Bitcoin for a long time actually has a good idea about Bitcoin but a new investor who is just starting to invest does not have such a good idea about investing, as a result of which it is seen that if no one helps him in terms of long-term investment planning, he starts investing in any coin other than Bitcoin and later he regrets it.

Missing the past is something many investors can relate to, but the real turning point is how you approach the present. The fact that you havve shifted from hesitation to consistent action shows that you have  learned from experience. Dwelling on the perfect entry you missed won’t change anything , but taking steps now can shape the outcome you want in the years ahead.

No one catches the absolute bottom or sells at the perfect top every time. What matters is building a position over time so that when Bitcoin makes its next big move, you are already in. By staying consistent, you remove the stress of perfect timing and turn the future into an opportunity instead of another missed chance.

The history can scare people out of investing into bitcoin, yet it seems that historically, the answer of investing as much as you are able to and attempting to front load your investment have tended to pay off... yet we surely tend to need at least a whole cycle to begin to have some confidence, and also there is likely some value to ongoingly buying rather than just buying once... and so it can be difficult for guys who buy a lot and then the BTC price goes down from the point of their purchase, which I tend to suggest to just keep buying... and so sometimes it can take a whole cycle or longer to really begin to be profitable and then to feel like you have more options, so focusing on levels of profits in less than 4 year timelines seems problematic, and keeping on building and holding bitcoin seems to be  a good strategy for over more than one cycle rather than limiting the timeline to one cycle.

That is absolutely true, Actually I was scared as well considering the details and history of Bitcoin how Bitcoin is a volatile asset, that the price do fluctuate and also the volatile nature of Bitcoin that makes it unpredictable at some point I was wondering how I would be able to invest and continue accumulating when my asset would be moving upwards and downward, then I gained momentum and motivation when I realized that I could invest and continue to hodl for a long term goal instead of always thinking about the inconsistency of the price and market nature, sometimes I would prefer buying more and consistently on a gradual process when I have a discretionary income, which sometimes when an opportunity of more discretionary income well I could decide to front load instead of buying all at once which might not really happen for me in a long term, and I might find it very difficult to keep up with that strategy because of insufficient discretionary amounts to keep front loading then it will be more sustainable to keep buying little by little on a gradual scale, sometimes when we front load probably aiming to have profit in less than a full circle might actually be nonproductive because we might face some challenges with the price of bitcoin fluctuating, we might even need to still endure for more than one circle to have the opportunity to have enough profit, which is more wise to entertain buying gradually, and small small on a weekly or monthly basis when we have a discretionary amount. I will keep building and holding which is possible with more than one circle so to have the opportunity to accumulate enough bitcoin and still continue to sustain my Bitcoin instead of limiting myself to a single circle.

Bitcoin history does not have to be scary for us that have witnessed a substantial part of that full history and can bear witness that for each circle in bitcoin history that aggressive buyers that patiently hold their portfolio with a successively intervals accumulations after having to front load they have perpetually made significant profit. Price fluctuations are inevitable for bitcoin, a volatile asset and it is our duty to maximise these price falls in the long term projection to accumulate as much as our discretionary income allows be it for a single circle or more.

The only scary part before is we don't know about what's coming around in future. Bitcoin has no solid foundation before and it was built with pure ambition that it became a digitalized alternative to fiat.

But now to lucky for those people who knows it because they can actually look at the past and current happenings especially on its development side. Since they can really see that Bitcoin is great asset which could potentially give them profits if they invest wise then choose to hold their Bitcoin for many years.

For sure they would never worried about those volatile movement if they HODL and better they focus on accumulating rather than getting stress for always looking on its technicalities.

Scary part/potential part Whatever you consider I will continue to accumulate Bitcoin regularly and continue to attract new investors. I think we are doing great because we are accumulating Bitcoin through discretionary funds with basic knowledge rather than analyzing the technical structure of Bitcoin in detail.

With little knowledge we know that due to the limited supply of Bitcoin there is a high probability of its price increasing due to demand. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has accepted Bitcoin as legal tender considering the future scenario and is accumulating regularly. He is encouraging investors to hold more.

I agree with you that Bitcoin is a digitized alternative to fiat. I think Bitcoin is both a great digital asset for investment/accumulation and a strategic reserve for a country at large scale with individual centred development.

Your approach makes sense,  sometimes overanalyzing charts can just make your head spin, and by the time you fully understand, the price might have already run away. Accumulating steadily with discretionary funds is like planting a money tree one seed at a time....you don’t need a PhD in botany to know it will grow if you keep watering it.

And yes, Bitcoin’s limited supply is like a VIP party with only 21 million invitations ...eventually, people will start pushing at the door. If even countries like El Salvador are treating it like a strategic reserve, it is a very good sign we are early in a big global shift. Keep stacking though, because you are essentially securing your future wallet and ensuring your future self thanks you instead of wishing you had started sooner.....

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?

Yes, what you said is true, there are many who think for a short time but sell when the price drops, later they have nothing to do but regret it when the price increases. So I would say if you invest in any currency, then definitely hold it for the long term, there is no need to be disappointed when the price drops, later the price will increase from which you can expect to get good returns. If you buy the currency now, then you can buy and wait for the highest price. When the price increases much more than the amount you bought it with, then you can sell it.

[Rockstarguy]

if you invest in Bitcoin for a long time, then if it is from 4 to 10, then it will bring success

Holding bitcoin to or 4 to 10yrs doesn't necessarily mean that our investment is going to be successful or in profit. If we look at bitcoin past record it shows that long term holders have been more successful than short term holder , however since the future is unpredictable. There are so many things or factors that may affect the performance of bitcoin. Holding bitcoin for long term may reduce the impact of short term volatility, however it doesn't mean that it has removed the chances of loss.

If hodling bitcoin for 4 to 10 years won't be profitable,  then I wonder what will be profitable.  You can compare the price of bitcoin now and 4 -10 years ago and to think  about those who have been investing bitcoin and accumulating and hodling bitcoin till this moment, do you mean such hodling is not a successful one? Ofcourse the duration of this investment is longterm and longterm investment like this is which investors are encouraged to take part.

There is still risk in long term investment, so holding for longer time isn't a guarantee that our investment is going to be successful

Except it is not bitcoin,  maybe shitcoins or except one is a careless investor.

[Sim_card]

Yes, it is right if you have a proper understanding of the market and a proper understanding of technical analysis and fundamental analysis and if you have the ability to examine the market properly, then you can take a decision by examining the market properly. I don't think investing in bitcoin will be risky for you, I think it is the best currency for you for a long-term investment which is very easy and you can continue to invest without risk.

Bitcoin long term investment doesn't need all that you mentioned.You don't need to understand anything about technical analysis or fundamental analysis because you are not a trader but a long term investor who is only buying and hodli overtime.

A new investor only needs the basic knowledge of bitcoin and his discretionary income to get started with his bitcoin investment. It's better for you to use DCA method to accumulated bitcoin because you are only to be buying weekly or monthly when your discretionary income is ready. DCA is an efficient and effective way for constant growth of portfolio overtime as long as you are consistent and persistent with your bitcoin purchase for 4-10 years and above.

Bitcoin investment is not 100% risk free which is why you must have a proper plan on setting up several backup funds to tackle any unforeseen emergencies during your bitcoin accumulation journey and also invest with only the amount of money that you can afford to lose.

That means you are new to the forum and not new to Bitcoin? I know a lot of people like that who join the forum just to have a sense of belonging to a community of like minds which in this case the common denominator is Bitcoin. Being that as it may, you sound so experienced with full grasp of the rudiments of Bitcoin accumulation, price movement and general expectations.

The only divergence I have with you is the suggestion that a single market cycle will suffice for holding, I don't share in that sentiment and I don't also encourage people to think that short duration. I think we should rather encourage people to HODL, which is never to run out of Bitcoin no matter what. If you are in your accumulation phase, there should really be no point selling your collected Bitcoin, just keep adding more coins to your portfolio until you get to over accumulation phase, probably when you would have been done with active service. Beyond this phase you can then relax and work out ways of enjoying the fruit of your labor and should be well plan so you will not exhaust your stash and you should even have something to pass down to the next generation.

So despite the "who brought you" factor playing a major role in your idea on Bitcoin, it is natural for you as an individual to be ideological enough to think outside the box after seeing things for yourself coupled with the knowledge you've gotten.

Bitcoin is a very appreciative asset, and it rewards those who are patient in the long run. So i wouldn't even advise anyone to focus on the "who brought you" factor in his/her Bitcoin accumulation journey. This is because focusing on it may end up shifting your attention away from the assets itself unto personal feelings about someone. And one might even end up missing a great opportunity simply because he don’t like the person who introduced Bitcoin to him/her.

The reward of an investor in Bitcoin is not only determined by  their patient alone rather it is also determined by the effort put in that is the rate at which they were able to buy and what is inside their portfolio. It is possible that an investor can be patient for a long term and yet won't get a good reward or return because of their slack during their time of investment. It doesn't really matter who brought someone into this space but sometimes it matters, for instance if someone who introduced you to this space knows that you have a good source of income that you can get a good discretionary income from, a nice person will always be checkmating to ensure you are investing instead of using that money for things that are not relevant as most persons does.

By investing in Bitcoin, you can use the DCA strategy to reduce risk. Having a source of income is very important because you can earn from there and use that earned money to manage your life and then come forward to invest with the remaining money because your small steps will take a big shape in the future. By investing in large amounts, you may be scared by the fluctuation of the price of Bitcoin or if you increase slightly from the price you bought, you may be greedy and sell Bitcoin. In this case, it is better to use the DCA strategy to avoid this panic or regret. By using the DCA strategy, you can invest regularly or weekly. In this way, you do not need to worry too much about the difficult decision of when to enter or exit the market and you will make your investment journey easy and smooth.

[JayJuanGee]

Considering the history of Bitcoin is very important for new investors, because if they consider history, they will see that many investors who invested patiently and when the price of Bitcoin started increasing from that investment, they still kept their greed behind and remained steadfast in their right decisions, which is why they have been rewarded in the present time, on the other hand, there were many who knew about Bitcoin but did not come forward to invest in Bitcoin, and many others invested but due to their greed they could not bring their investment forward because they might have panicked after seeing the price of Bitcoin fluctuate and sold it, or else they could not control their greed when the price of Bitcoin started increasing, but they are the ones who regret it in the present time because they have got the results of their actions, so it is important for new investors to know and gain experience well about the history of Bitcoin.  If you want to strengthen your investments at the present time, you can use the DCA strategy and do it for a long time, even if your investment is small. By using the DCA strategy, you will get rid of the worries of when to enter or exit the market.

Yea you are right, looking at the historical record of Bitcoin and how it has fought his way up is really going to be encouraging for newbies investors to have more faith and will in investing in Bitcoin but I believe that the best possible way a newbie investors will invest in Bitcoin is having the right knowledge and mindset from the very beginning, that's why it very important on who introduced Bitcoin to you, if you knew about Bitcoin from a trader, their is a higher probability that he might mislead you and you will come with the mindset of buying and selling once it appreciate in value, but if you were introduced to it by a real investor, someone like jayjuangee that has seen it all , someone that knows all it entails to be successful in it, their is a higher probability that you will be successful in your investment because you got into it with the right knowledge.
In essence of what am trying to say is that who introduced an individual to Bitcoin has a major role to play in how the said person goes about his Bitcoin investment.

The history can scare people out of investing into bitcoin, yet it seems that historically, the answer of investing as much as you are able to and attempting to front load your investment have tended to pay off... yet we surely tend to need at least a whole cycle to begin to have some confidence, and also there is likely some value to ongoingly buying rather than just buying once... and so it can be difficult for guys who buy a lot and then the BTC price goes down from the point of their purchase, which I tend to suggest to just keep buying... and so sometimes it can take a whole cycle or longer to really begin to be profitable and then to feel like you have more options, so focusing on levels of profits in less than 4 year timelines seems problematic, and keeping on building and holding bitcoin seems to be  a good strategy for over more than one cycle rather than limiting the timeline to one cycle.

Sir i can testify on how the historical background of Bitcoin have kept me away from not developing the interest at all after a friend of mine first introduced me into Bitcoin since 2022 and i couldn't show any interest because i was very scared because all my thinking then was that was i start to invest that i can lose all my money in Bitcoin but with the present economy of the country right now and the situation of economy being so hard as life goes on have removed the fear that i had then because assuming i followed that my friend that once introduced me to Bitcoin then, i could have make allot of profits like him now, but i know that it is never too late for me to start investing and ever since i have been investing with DCA strategy, i have come to realized that there is know need of me being scared to invest in Bitcoin since 2022 that i was introduced to Bitcoin that wasted my time of my refuser of developing interest to have the full knowledge on how Bitcoin works and how i should have go about Bitcoin portfolio then, but now i know better that is good to have investments for  future purposes.

We can put ourselves into real psychological barriers by looking at the historical price, and we even had been part of that history and perhaps lost out of a couple of good years of bitcoin investing that we could have had done, but we did not do it and we continue to feel regret about it.

So yeah one of the solutions is to just get started and to build your bitcoin holdings for a whole cycle or more and then to reassess.  Sure you cannot make up for the past, yet it seems likely that after 1 cycle or more investing into bitcoin, many of us will see how far ahead we are of the guys who are likely going to be just getting started in bitcoin, yet by the time we get through a whole cycle, we will have a whole  4 years of a head start on the guys who will be just coming into bitcoin 4-years from now. 

Each cycle bitcoin HODLers pass more and more of their peers and their peers will really have difficult times to catch up to them, and it becomes quite difficult to catch up to 4 years of prior investing, even if the person might have had some periods in which he had paid more for his bitcoin than the then current price.

I frequently like to point out that if a guy had been accumulating bitcoin for a full cycle, then he is likely to have average bitcoin purchase prices that are fairly similar to the 200-WMA. and an overwhelming majority of the time, the BTC spot pride is at least 25% higher than the 200-WMA.. but yeah from time to time, the BTC spot price goes below the 200-WMA... .. and we can continue to accumulate bitcoin for more than 4 years and the 200-WMA continues to go up and up and up and our average bitcoin buy price is getting further and further below the 200-WMA.. which is that we just ongoingly have more cushion in our comfort level that includes confidence that the BTC spot price has lower and lower chances of going below our average BTC buy price.

For sure they would never worried about those volatile movement if they HODL and better they focus on accumulating rather than getting stress for always looking on its technicalities.

Surely confidence can be built over the years of investing and holding bitcoin which can contribute towards a guy having more conviction about continuing to buy more and then maybe continuing to hold more and then also figuring out ways to sell slowly rather than quickly, once he gets to a point that he has enough bitcoin or more than enough bitcoin.

[edited out]

I may regret that I saw Bitcoin at its lowest price, if I could have bought some Bitcoin at that time, I would have made almost double the profit at this time. Due to not having a clear idea about investment at that time and not being inclined to take financial risks, I missed that investment opportunity, which I sometimes regret now. However, now I understand that there is no point in regretting what is gone, but I should plan for what is present. When the price of Bitcoin was at its highest level at that time, while investing, I felt that the market could fall below it and if it fell, I would suffer financially, so I did not invest then, but now I do not think about that. Although the Bitcoin market is now at its highest level, I am still trying to invest in Bitcoin consistently because like the previous market, the price of Bitcoin can increase further in the future, so if I do not invest now, I will miss the investment opportunity once again.

Part of the reason that many of us should want to ongoingly invest into bitcoin for a whole cycle or more  is to help ourselves to get over our concerns about current price, and surely if we are assessing 4-8 years down the road, we likely are going to appreciate that we made a lot of our buys in the past and even if some of our past purchases were at high prices, the passage of time is continuing to contribute towards higher and higher BTC prices and likely more and more difficult to buy bitcoin at similar prices as it had been bought 4-8 year or longer into the past.

When I first got into bitcoin in late 2013, my first purchase was around $1,200 which was a high oint in the market.  So it took right around 3.5 years (in March 2017) before that purchase became consistently profitable and the BTC price discontinued dropping below that level.  Of course, now people really woudl like to get $1,200 bitcoin, and even in late 2018 and into 2019 and 2020, there were some folks still fantasizing about being able to buy bitcoin in the $1,200 region. and there were several folks who were confident that the BTC price had to get back to test that $1,200 level, yet in the several bitcoin price dips in 2018, 2019 and 2020, the lowest it ever got was $3,124, and even the time in March 2020 when BTC prices dipped down to $3,800, there were many folks who thought that $3,800 was a real fluke.. which probably was true since the BTC price largely went shooting up from March 2020 and the biggest dip that we got after March 2020 got us down to $15,479 in November 2022.. and guys would even really love to get some bitcoin for $15,479, and yeah so that 1st purchase of bitcoin at $1,200 in late 2013, is looking like a great bargain right now, and it is not even like folks who started out investing into bitcoin at a $1,200 top in late 2013 would not continue to buy bitcoin in 2014, 2015, and 2016... which resulted in a lot of purchases that were quite a bit below the initial $1,200 purchase..

I agree with your points here, yet investing in bitcoin is not guaranteed to be profitable in the future, even though bitcoin is amongst the best (if not the best) place to put time, energy and value... but yeah, everyone is responsible to make their own choices regarding whether to get into bitcoin and how much to get into it.

Yes, there is no guarantee of profit, no one can guarantee profit. But Bitcoin has proven in the past that people who have invested in Bitcoin in the past and held on for the long term have benefited. Bitcoin has survived for 15 years so it is not wrong for us to expect even if there is no guarantee of future profit, so we can expect a good profit.

Now if we think about risk, then risk is involved in all cases. Now we have no guarantee of our own life, we can die anytime, so to achieve something good in the future we must take some risk. In fact, no person could succeed without taking risks, those who succeeded must have taken risks. Now there are different sectors to invest in, among which Bitcoin can be the best, one can expect to make good returns if one invests in Bitcoin and holds long term. Now investing in Bitcoin is everyone's personal matter. But we should try to find the best place to invest.
Don't sell, just buy.

From my perspective, you are still making it seem that bitcoin is guaranteed, even accounting for (acknowledging) executional risks that might increase based on our conduct.

You can do what you like, and talk about bitcoin how you like, yet I think that there are better ways to do it without making it ongoingly sound as if bitcoin's future price performance is guaranteed to go up.

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?

Yes, what you said is true, there are many who think for a short time but sell when the price drops, later they have nothing to do but regret it when the price increases. So I would say if you invest in any currency, then definitely hold it for the long term, there is no need to be disappointed when the price drops, later the price will increase from which you can expect to get good returns. If you buy the currency now, then you can buy and wait for the highest price. When the price increases much more than the amount you bought it with, then you can sell it.

Which currency are you taking about if i may ask? because I can't catch up with what you mean, what we are talking about in this thread is Bitcoin and not just an currency.
Those who panic and sell when the price of Bitcoin drop are mainly gamblers or traders the fear of not losing everything forgetting that Bitcoin is a long time since there is still every possibility that the price will increase so instead of selling keep accumulating even accumulate More Bitcoin if the income is there and still by accumulating using the DCA strategy and hodl for long.
