Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?

People who are waiting for the price to drop before buying , what are they waiting for when they have the money? I don't see any reason why some people will chose to wait when they have the money to buy bitcoin. For me, individuals who always think about waiting for the price to drop and buying bitcoin did not have money to buy it. If you have money, you can buy bitcoin without thinking about the price, waiting for the price to fall does not imply that you are wiser or smarter than others; no one can predict the price of bitcoin, therefore it is best to buy when you have the money and without thinking about the price.

For me, there is nothing special about waiting for the price to drop because it is a waste of time for me and sometimes it leads to regret at the end if you didn't buy and the price keeps going up. If you have money to buy bitcoin, do not waste time thinking of waiting for the price to drop, you may be waiting for the price to drop and you won't be able to buy at the end, buy with the amount you can afford to buy and hold. Although you can buy when the opportunity come, buy it is not advisable for anyone to wait for the price to fall before buying bitcoin.

Most people who wait for a price drop don't even trust their own instinct and they end up not buying bitcoin at the end. Most times it's not that they don't wish to invest but they are fearful to invest which is why they anchor their procrastination on price drop. These set of people, when price finally drops get another reason to wait further, they then begin to doubt the ability of bitcoin to stop dropping after they have bought their own and start rising to the top.

Those set of people only want bitcoin to behave in their own way, they don't trust anything anyone would say, they just don't wish their bitcoin drop further after they have bought theirs. Instead of buying, they decide to wait further to see if it could drop further. They keep procrastinating until when they wake up to see a leap up by bitcoin and they even get more scared and forget about investing until while the waiting contnues.

If anyone must be successful in bitcoin investment, he must learn how not to be procrastinating, he must learn how to buy continuously as long as he has his discretionary income instead of waiting for a dip that may never happen. Everyday fiats keep degrading and the money you refuse to invest today looses value every moment. Consider every stage or price as a buy buy moment. A good DCA approach would help you forget the chart and focus on buying instead of watching the price which is all you need to succeed in bitcoin investment. If such investors has extra discretionary income during any dip, he can still buy and add to his regular DCA allocation. DCA approach helps you to stay in the investment and helps you not to miss opportunities as your DCA can also fall in dips. Setting up a long term holding plan of possible minimum of initial 4 to 10 years holding period and aiming at holding further and also planning a sustainable accumulation target would keep you off the delay tactics and makes you a wiser investor that makes the best out of every opportunity to buy bitcoin.

[Regardme]

The best time for buying is at low price and I think if you sell your coins with profit then you should not regret after Fluctuations in coin price because you have already taken your profit so ready to make another step instead of regret about past.

If you are in doubt about other coin then just buy bitcoin now and don't sell until you achieved your target. This time is not suitable for selling but if someone is in huge profit and he cannot hold longer then selling should be preferred. Understand the market and accept your profit but I think if someone is selling their bitcoin without waiting more so he will miss the opportunity of having huge profit in Bull season.

regrets after selling Bitcoin mostly happens because no one can perfectly predict the coin market.
Prices move up and down it's just based on supply demand and sentiment.if after buying,the price goes down immediately just wait untill it's goes up if you are not urgently in need of money at the time,you just can't predict this things.but it's always save to buy coins when the prices drop .

Your statement here is wrong, Being urgently in need of money should not be the determinant for selling bitcoin, people regret selling bitcoin because they sold early and because they chose to trade with bitcoin rather than invest in it which is a financial mistake, no one should be trading with bitcoin on any normal circumstance instead just keep accumulating with DCA, waiting for the DIP when you can DCA is also a financial mistake as it shows a tendency to sell immediately the price goes back up so don't be telling people it's okay to sell if they are urgently in need of money, this is why having an emergency fund in important as an investor so you don't ever have to sell too early.

You are correct to point out the issue ZeroVinsonN since each of us should be striving to set up our finances and our psychology in such a way that we are not feeling urgent about money, and we should be attempting to put cash cushions between our bitcoin and our weekly/monthly expenses so that we may well not need to sell any bitcoin for 4-10 years or longer after we buy them.  

Once we establish a large enough bitcoin stash, then perhaps at that point, we might start to sell bitcoin from time to time, yet if we build our bitcoin stash, it would most likely take longer than 4 years before we might start to feel that we might be in a position to start to be able to sell some bitcoin, even if we might have had gotten to overaccumulation (and/or front loaded our bitcoin investment) earlier in the process.

It may well be that Youngrebel is thinking about bitcoin as a trade rather than as an investment, so bitcoin becomes more scary when it is considered in that kind of a way - especially since bitcoin tends to be so volatile, which is another one of the reasons that frequently we need to build a cushion of funds between our regular money for expenses and our bitcoin that hopefully we are building until it gets to a large enough status that we might start to feel comfortable selling some of it from time to time.  

Guys who consider bitcoin as a trade might never get to status of feeling comfortable with their bitcoin because they are ongoingly considering when to get in and/or when to get out.

Yeah, you're absolutely correct. A lot of investors find it difficult to build that cushion between their personal finances and their Bitcoin portfolio, but once they learn to do this, it totally transforms their perspective about HODLING. Instead of constantly worrying about the market's temporary fluctuations, they'll be able to sit, relax and actually treat Bitcoin as the long term investment that it actually is. People don't mostly tend to be worry about the short term fluctuations when you're in charge of your personal finances, know your bills and have all your living expenses completely covered from other sources. When investors have that extra space, it gives them the flexibility and freedom to actually HODL their Bitcoin patiently and confidently, and if you ask me, I'd say that mental shift is just as profitable as the actual gain from the investment.

It's almost impossible for folks to avoid feeling that pressure that comes with market volatility in the absence of that buffer,  because you can't help but have that feeling that your immediate security is going down the drain with every little dip that hits the market, and this has the potential to birth drastic and rash decisions. But when you structure your finances, putting yourself in a position where you won't feel the need to tamper with your Bitcoin investment for years if you really don't want to. This way, short term fluctuations becomes less of a concern or threat to you but rather an opportunity. When there's a dip in the market, you no longer feel the pressure or feel like your money is washing down the drain, and whenever there's a bullish trend, you equally don't feel the need to dump and sell off everything to lock in some profits, rather, it's more of an affirmation of why you're Investing in Bitcoin in the first place. Although this isn't a perspective that every investor has in their early days, it's something that comes naturally with time, and of course with putting that financial cushion cover in place.

I also think that you're spot on about your thoughts on the difference between considering Bitcoin as a trade and as an investment. Folks who consider and approach Bitcoin with that trader's mindset often get too obsessed about so many things, such as timing the market. They're always like, "is this the best time to buy? Is this actually the next big move? What if I buy now and miss the move?" With such thinking, individuals tend to always keep themselves on the edge, because like we already know, the market is mostly unpredictable and there's no way folks can always get the timing right. But when you choose to flip that mindset to accumulating and building wealth for the long term, you kinda set yourself free from always feeling that anxiety and transcend into a more liberated approach, there'll be no more need to stress about timing the market, just buy and HODL, as simple as that.
And as you proceed, the approach provides you with more security and more peace of mind. You'll be in charge of every decision you make about your investment, rather than being at the mercy of the market. And when one eventually reaches a state of overaccumulation, like you mentioned, they'll definitely have the luxury to consider diversification, that's if they really wish to, without actually having to go through any form of pressure. At this point, selling of Bitcoin becomes optional, rather than a necessity.

Making a good point. I’ve been in such situation before where I tend to sell off my Bitcoin at loss but as time goes on, I began to gain more confidence and understanding it’s volatility. When going into bitcoin, one is tend is have an investor mindset, because that’s the principle thing that would help you stand strong, knowing it’s a long term investment not waiting for it to rise and get a profit within a short term. I believe that understanding bitcoin volatility and long term rewards, will always give one the confidence to buy and accumulate bitcoin at all time, even buying more bitcoin when it dips.

Their is a saying in my country which say "that understanding is deeper than knowledge" meaning that their are so many people that might knows you, but only few understand you and your capabilities, and that's also involves investment in Bitcoin.
Many Bitcoin Investors out there knows of Bitcoin and it volatility, but only few understand that even though it deeps in price, it will surely rise back to where it fell from, no matter how long it takes, because the value of Bitcoin is on the the rise when looking at it historical price movement, so those that are still selling in panic do not understand Bitcoin and how it works fully. Because any Investors that truly understand Bitcoin, will know all he has to do to safeguard his investment, so that he can hold for a very long time.

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.
 
U are right, because market is unpredictable u can go to  a market an but a shirt 10k an ur thinking it is much, go nest time an see the price.so market is unpredictable
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.

Market price in some cases are unpredictable because  I have heard of some one buying a coin in a certain rate, but just for sometime it get reduce to a lower rate,so market price is unpredictable

We are talking about bitcoin here in this thread, so I am not sure why you consider mentioning "a coin" as if you were on topic, which you are being vague and you might be referring to shitcoins rather than bitcoin, and if you were referring to bitcoin, then why didn't you just say bitcoin?

Maybe you don't know the difference between bitcoin and shitcoins, and so you think that they are all the same thing?

Hopefully you can figure out how to learn about bitcoin first so that you don't get mislead into some crap and then start talking like you know about crypto when you don't even know what bitcoin is.

If you talk about Bitcoin? Yeah, we can't deny that it's volatile and unpredictable. But that is one of it's trait that we learn to embrace, and others, like traders loves as they can make money and squeeze in a day or two.

But for most of us who DCA or invest in Bitcoin slowly, then we don't care about what the price is, as we buy it using the average. So if you can't take that, then maybe Bitcoin investment is not for you and you can go buy some cheap altcoins and then just wait for it to dump when you are sleeping.

 Perhaps it’s unfortunate that one has to be going back and front in teaching and educating people here and there on what bitcoin is and how much difference notice is far a way from any kind of shitcoin whatsoever. As it’s very clear from the topic that we are taking in buying and buying bitcoin only.

Hence I put it to you @Money bag that perhaps you maybe knew to this thread or the forum entirely hence you still have a lot more to learn however when you want to use the word coin you might be referring to something else other than bitcoin therefore it’s absolutely best for you to use the word bitcoin when referring to bitcoin as basically we do not use the word crypto here either except you are trying to make some reference to some shitcoin as an example. I hope you learn to stay within the appropriate context of the thread and not to vary by using user that may sound vague towards the thread.

@Money bag I see you were trying to quote someone but you are struggling on how to quote properly. I have gone through your profile and I observed that this is not the first time you are struggling with quoting multiple users. I also noticed that you haven't spent time in beginners and help thread and go through some of the helpful posts that are pinned there by the moderator. I will advise you spend sometime in beginners and help thread and learn how to quote properly. Secondly the post you were trying to quote is more than a year old, therefore it doesn't reflect the current reality of bitcoin in terms of it's price and market reality. Next time try quoting recent posts that are ongoing in a thread to blend with the most recent discussion which represent the current reality of bitcoin price and market reality.

It’s obvious he doesn’t know about bitcoin or investing in bitcoin, and he should be learning what the conversation here is all about, I think the fellow doesn’t even know what to say before coming here to talk about coin instead of emphasizing on bitcoin and how possibly he can accumulate bitcoin into his portfolio, what are my even saying this fellow doesn’t know what accumulating bitcoin is all about, he absolutely doesn’t know the difference between bitcoin and shitcoin.

Hopefully he learns about bitcoin and learn how to buy and accumulate bitcoin and hodl.

If we were to  connect that saying to Bitcoin, it really makes sense because there is a big difference between just knowing Bitcoin exists and truly understanding what it represents. Many investors are quick to say that i know Bitcoin is volatile, but when the price drops, they panic and sell, which shows they never really understood its long term nature. Looking back at history, every deep fall has always been followed by a recovery, and often to even greater heights....... This is  why the ones who have real understanding don’t panic they focus on safeguarding their holdings and waiting patiently, because they see beyond the short term noise.

That saying really makes sense, and TBH  it explains the difference between people who just talk about Bitcoin and the ones who actually live it. Anybody can know the price is going up or down, anybody can check charts or headlines, but very few really understand what they are holding….  When you understand Bitcoin, you stop looking at it as some lottery ticket that either wins or fails, you see it for what it really is, an escape from money that keeps losing value… That kind of understanding makes dips look less like losses and more like discounts…

Most of the panic sellers out there are people who only had that surface level knowledge… They came in thinking it is a quick profit scheme, so the moment price falls, they feel betrayed and run away...  But the ones who stick around are the people who understand the bigger picture, Bitcoin always recovers, and every cycle it grows stronger than before… Selling in fear is just giving away your future to somebody with more patience, sorry to say..

At the end of the day, knowledge is like knowing Bitcoin exists, but understanding is what gives you conviction…   When you have got conviction, you don’t wake up at night checking the price, you don’t panic when it bleeds, and you don’t rush to sell when everyone else is scared..  You just hold, because you understand exactly why you bought in the first place…. And that is the real difference, people with knowledge get shaken out, but people with understanding actually win in the long run….

everyone was new at some point. Quoting can be tricky at first, especially on a fast-paced forum like this. Instead of policing every mistake, a quick tip or link would have gone a longer way. As for the post being old, fair enough but sometimes, context from the past helps shape present discussions.

[Oshio-man]

I know some people will still be doubting, if truly this is the time to buy bitcoin or sell, you don't need to get angry with such newbies that say this is the time to sell bitcoin because someone that have the knowledge of bitcoin will not say such thing when the price of bitcoin fall from $124k to $109k, if you have the funds in you, you can start buying from the market and hold either long term or short term because I know income will definitely come out from your holding before you can release them to the market, but don't forget that those that hold for long years always achieve the highest income from the bullish season.

If I were to be @money bag, I would've concentrated more on learning the basics here especially differentiating Bitcoin and shitcoins, it is obvious that he's a learner because his words aren't  convincing like someone that knows much about Bitcoin, he said market price is unpredictable, we know that already but which market price is he actually referring to, if he's talking about the Bitcoin market, we already know that no one can actually predict the Bitcoin market due to volatility but the history we know has given us hope about Bitcoin investment, starting from the day Bitcoin was created till this moment, the price has not fail to appreciate thats to say we are actually in progress even though we can't predict the price the Bitcoin.

Please @money bag it will do you much good if you read through what  is been discussed here and the best words to use whenever you're making reference to Bitcoin, I think your narrations or will I say your explanation is not understandable because it is very obvious that you weren't referring to Bitcoin and I believe that was the impression @JayJuanGee was trying to correct, I think you need to learn, feel free to ask question, nobody will bully you, I check your account, it was register January 2025 meaning that you're supposed to have gone past the stage you are presently, take this as advice not insult please, let's learn together.

Although you can buy when the opportunity come, buy it is not advisable for anyone to wait for the price to fall before buying bitcoin.

The decision to buy more Bitcoin should be based on how many Bitcoins you already have in your wallet rather then price. Those who have sufficient number of Bitcoins can wait for price to go down to buy more Bitcoins but those who don't have sufficient number of Bitcoins must accumulate Bitcoins as much as they can before acquiring the desired number of Bitcoins in their wallets. How much Bitcoin is sufficient for you depends on your finances for some people 1 Bitcoin may be enough while for others may be 10 Bitcoins are good enough.

Before starting bitcoin journey for example a newbie must be fully aware about the kind of investment they’re going into, using money meant for important needs to invest is a mistake done by most newbies yet this kind of mistakes are very rare as a result of learning about the basic knowledge first before investing will help prepare an investor towards their long term journey. Whenever the market experiences a dip, generally those who are financially capable intend to buy bitcoin using large quantity basically they prepared towards this event buying the dip so all they have to do is take advantage, accumulating aggressively during the dip is not compulsory especially when the fund is not available rather continue buying bitcoin using the dca strategy.

Even if a person is financially capable, it is never right to wait for a fall. We should always continue to buy continuously. If a person buys continuously using the DCA method and then waits for a fall, then this is also a bad decision. Because you have money, it means invest immediately. It is never right to wait for a fall.

If you wait for a fall, then you can miss a lot of buying opportunities. For example, whenever you see a fall, you will wait a little more for the fall to come down a little more and then buy, doing this, after a while you will not be able to buy at that time of fall. So it is never right to wait for a fall, you should always continue to buy continuously by adopting the DCA method.

People who are waiting for the price to drop before buying , what are they waiting for when they have the money? I don't see any reason why some people will chose to wait when they have the money to buy bitcoin. For me, individuals who always think about waiting for the price to drop and buying bitcoin did not have money to buy it.

If you have money to buy bitcoin, do not waste time thinking of waiting for the price to drop, you may be waiting for the price to drop and you won't be able to buy at the end, buy with the amount you can afford to buy and hold. Although you can buy when the opportunity come, buy it is not advisable for anyone to wait for the price to fall before buying bitcoin.

If you have enough money to buy Bitcoin, then waiting for the price to fall will not be right at all. Because the Bitcoin market price may not create an opportunity to buy when the price falls. Buy now and invest. The wise thing to do is to buy and invest whatever the market price is. If you buy now, your portfolio will also increase later. But if you wait for the price to fall, and then if the price of Bitcoin increases further, you will have to regret not being able to buy. Therefore, it will be logical to buy Bitcoin and invest without wasting time.

The money you spend for investment must be such money that you will not need it in the next 10 years. And you can also invest without stress. Because there are many people who start investing with a lot of money. Then they come halfway and sell their investment. For them, it is like sinking a boat in the middle of the ocean. So do not invest with such money that you have to sell your investment. And if you can keep the investment, maybe success can come.

If you pour all your money into investing and are afraid of the ups and downs of Bitcoin, you will be in trouble.

Investing into Bitcoin with funds that are meant for your expenses or other necessities is a bad investment practice. It can further be described as being over aggressive in your investment and it can prove unsustainable for long, also it can lure the investor to tampering with his portfolio when the actual needs arise and sell at a time he didn't choose.

Bitcoin is best approached with discretionary income, in accurate cashflow management practice, you must first remove funds that are meant for your expenses before identifying that you've discretionary income and further splitting your discretionary income into funds for Bitcoin buying and others for building of backup funds.

This is very important for an investors for especially the newbies because I have seen some beggars rushing to buy Bitcoin when the price has drop now, which will make some people buy with daily expenses funds, Before investing in bitcoin, make sure you don’t too over aggressive in your investment that will affect your bitcoin journey, it is not advisable to use the funds that are meant for your expenses to invest in Bitcoin because in the process it will affect your investment by selling without not thinking about the price because you need the funds, investing in Bitcoin need a proper plan that will make you to buy your Bitcoin without not using your funds meant for daily expenses and hold your assets for a long time.

Those who rush to buy Bitcoin when the price drops are not buying it for the long term. They are not investors, they are traders, they are gamblers. Similarly, those who invest with the money they need for daily expenses are also basically using Bitcoin as a gambling . It is very important to have a proper plan to invest in Bitcoin. Let's say a person earns $2000 per month. From that, his basic expenses such as house rent, food, child and one and a half education, transportation and all related expenses total $1200. He will have the remaining $800 as discretionary income. From there, he can invest $400 in Bitcoin every month if he wants, deposit the remaining $200 to form an emergency fund and spend the remaining $200 as he wants. He can also spend the remaining $200 on entertainment, social service or improving his quality of life. If you continue to invest in this way, after your emergency fund reaches a minimum of $3600 for 3 months, you can use the extra $200 left to invest more aggressively or create a reserve fund. If someone invests in this way, they will be able to invest for a long time. And if anyone continue to invest in Bitcoin for a minimum of 4 to 10 years or more, then the possibility of getting several times more profit here than investing in any other sector in the future is much higher.

Market price in some cases are unpredictable because  I have heard of some one buying a coin in a certain rate, but just for sometime it get reduce to a lower rate,so market price is unpredictable

That is the reason why you don't have to buy with a short term mindset ( trading) because the market is very volatile and so buying with the intention to sell very early when the price appreciate is a total waste of time and it is more like a deceit because the chance of it happening as predicted is not known or certain. So to avoid all these, it is advisable to invest in Bitcoin and hold it for a very long term at least 4-10 years and if been carried out properly, following all the procedure there is a possibility you will see something great because Bitcoin potential is always seen in long term of holding.

I know some people will still be doubting, if truly this is the time to buy bitcoin or sell, you don't need to get angry with such newbies that say this is the time to sell bitcoin because someone that have the knowledge of bitcoin will not say such thing when the price of bitcoin fall from $124k to $109k, if you have the funds in you, you can start buying from the market and hold either long term or short term because I know income will definitely come out from your holding before you can release them to the market, but don't forget that those that hold for long years always achieve the highest income from the bullish season.

The measures of your profit doesn't only depends on how long anyone holds but it is about the overall size of your Bitcoin portfolio and how long you have be able to hold that determines the value of your return, you don't only have to talk about duration or longevity of time you have held your Bitcoin and forget about the size your are holding, the two factors must work together when taking such consideration because there is a possibility of some one that has hold Bitcoin for short years to achieve the highest income from the bullish season probably based on the amount of Bitcoin the person hold, considering the compounding effects both in values not only in years.
