Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?

Additionally, buying during periods of low trading volume can also be advantageous. Low trading volume typically results in less price volatility, making it a more stable time to make your purchase. Overall, the key is to buy when the market is down and sell when it's up

The smart thing to do is to just keep accumulating, it's a big mistake to decide to wait for low trading volumes before you decide to buy simply because there will be less price volatility, a bitcoin investor shouldn't be bothered about price volatility, when you start bothering about it then you are no longer an investor but a trader, price changes are what drives a trader to sell, price changes just informs an investor that there is still a chance of profit on the long run as the price will eventually go up and if they wait and hold long enough then they can increase the value of their bitcoin.
So don't wait for anything, you can start accumulating now with your discretionary income using the DCA investment method.

I think there is nothing wrong if a good investor happened to wait for Small dump or dip in the market

Good investor will not wait for BTC to DIP for them to buy bitcoin because that is also buying at the DIP strategy and it's wrong, what happened to the dca strategy? where you can buy without waiting for small dip to occur and with your consistent buying you will have a good BTC portfolio, you can be waiting for a drop in price that may not occur while your mate are buying steadily and could buy more when the dip happen so saying there is nothing wrong waiting for the dip before you can buy can send a misleading information to new investors who want to get started with there bitcoin investment.

the key is to buy when the market is down and sell when it's up

NO that's not key the key is to accumulate continuously and hodl for long and not to accumulate only when the market is down and sell when it it's up it is traders who does this and not an investor.
I see that you are new to the forum and also don't know the right way to make a good Bitcoin investment if you must get started never delay to accumulate Bitcoin when price is low you can accumulate regularly, consistently and persistently using the DCA strategy which enables you to accumulate Bitcoin weekly or monthly and hodl for 4-10+ and then can sell small portion of your Bitcoin holding when you have reached out to your accumulation phase and still stacking up some Bitcoin when you feel.

At first glance, it seems like we can buy when it's low and sell when it's high, but in practice, it's not that easy. This is the simplest part, but we can't just accept it as a given.

I agree with you that the DCA strategy is a great way to accumulate Bitcoin in our wallets. Furthermore, we probably won't be too concerned about the price because our goal is long-term. Many people have found success with this strategy; even those with limited funds can maintain their Bitcoin holdings because they accumulate a certain amount over time, whether weekly or monthly.

Buying Bitcoin in the DCA method is more courageous for the investor, because if you buy Bitcoin in the first few weeks, you will start getting benefits from there naturally. However, most of the time you face dip buying, due to which the Bitcoin investor does not have to wait for the dip buying. As a result, if you buy Bitcoin according to the DCA method, you always stay in the rise and fall of the market, as a result of which dip buying occurs weekly.
In this case, the investor has the opportunity to buy Bitcoin at any time in the Bitcoin market. Therefore, the DCA method is the best method for all investors, as a result of following this good method, almost all investors succeed in investing in Bitcoin.

At first glance, it seems like we can buy when it's low and sell when it's high, but in practice, it's not that easy. This is the simplest part, but we can't just accept it as a given.

Anyone that buys low with the intention of selling once it rose in value is not an investor but a trader, and it seems unwise thinking on buying the dip only when we all know that nobody knows what will happen to Bitcoin price in the next hour or minutes. Sometimes they will miss out buying any at all because the dip they have in their head may never comes to reality, so it just too unwise to wait only for the dip, especially if you are a low coiner or you are still far behind in your Bitcoin accumulation.

Not that it's a bad practice buying the dip, but waiting for it is what is bad, because you may never buy at all if the dip do not come, so is that how you want to build a generational wealth? No.
Just buy and accumulate regardless of it current price, and when the dip comes, you might still buy or even more aggressive if you have a reserve funds in place to do so, with that, you are in a win win scenerio.

Overall, the key is to buy when the market is down and sell when it's up

No, that is not the key, perhaps that is your goal when investing in bitcoin. Real investors who know exactly what they are doing are not going to target the market to buy when prices are low and sell when prices rise. The main key for a Bitcoin investor to be successful is to continue accumulating regardless of price, as they don't have to wait for a down period to buy and sell wherever they believe that they have made a profit based on their entry. You will mislead other beginners like yourself since you seem to be focused in making quick gains, which is a bad idea.

For instance, you are waiting for the Bitcoin price to fall below $100k so that you can enter the market and sell when it goes higher. Though nobody can predict the market, you don't have to wait for something that may never come. The best Bitcoin plan is to use the DCA method, which allows you to buy weekly or monthly with the little amount you have regardless of price.

The best way to invest in the most stress-free way is the DCA method, if someone buys Bitcoin in small portions at regular intervals, then he enters the average market price, which becomes much more profitable in the long run. If you just wait to buy DIP, then you may never be able to start investing, because the market will never move as you expect, so those who worry too much about the market situation and panic unnecessarily when buying, will never be able to invest properly, so keep investing only through DCA while maintaining a consistent mindset in investment, only then you can build your portfolio in the most effective way.

I was just thinking that when there is a very bad news that had a bad impact on the stocks and the crypto does it really mean that people sell so much of the coins that the prices of Bitcoin and altcoins fall like water ? I am talking about the recent dump which liquidated almost everyone who was in future trade.

According to my analysis not all people sell coins it is basically the stop losses which get hits and the market moves further down and then quickly gains momentum back making a large wick.

I guess it was market being manipulated. Actually swept a lot of liquidity from the market , the dumb was that massive , leading to some loss of lives due to folk losing their money through liquidation. Many that got liquidated in the process didn’t not make use of stop loss I will say most of them cause some folk prefer to hold for longterm with leverage just to get a better return. And bitcoin is still fully bullish now we will see more of up after it beat the recent supports

I have carefully looked at the risk involved in trading and came up with the conclusion that it is not necessary to take such high risk when I can achieve the same result by just holding our Bitcoins in our private wallets. To me I chose the part that will give me peace of mind, and will not make me worry about what Donald Trump want to do with China or Russia. Funny enough, those traders that have not committed suicide, who were made poor by Trump's tweet will see the market recover and hit the target they aimed for but then they are liquidated and rendered poor. I will still insist that buying for the long term is the way to go because the advantages just outweigh anything we might fear about long term investment.

I agree with you with what you have said earlier because sometimes i do ask myself why people always find themselves being in the a hurry of quick money without see the full risk that associated with the act of trade were by all we needed to be patient in accumulating in our Bitcoin journey, and i don't know why some investors after seeing so many ideas on buying Bitcoin and hodl still some investors will still trade on the process as if they are not expose to the right at which will should follow whenever we are ready to buy and accumulate Bitcoin journey in a long term.

Investing in Bitcoin using DCA method is the most appropriate and best way to invest, investors should always consider this method because it has so many advantages, waiting for the market price to go down will just make the investor not to concentrate and it involves unnecessary panic. So it's most important to buy Bitcoin using DCA method and not neglecting with discretionary income

[kriminall]

People who are only investing in bitcoin for the long term are the once meant to be called investors, right now that their is a so much anticipated dip in the price of bitcoin most people would definitely take the opportunity of buying more bitcoin because they are excited about the dip and it’s an opportunity for them, but their are also people who are investing in bitcoin that wouldn’t have an opportunity of buying the dip, because they already bought bitcoin before the unprecedented dip, bitcoin is always volatile and it’s very hard to predict the price of bitcoin, which is why many people wouldn’t have the opportunity of buying through the dip.

However people who have different cashflow and people who also have other financial flexibility would definitely know how to keep money aside for taking the opportunity of buying a dip, but right now people who do not have a so much grate income to discretionary, would rather prefer buying little by little through the DCA.

The easiest strategy to invest in Bitcoin is to buy Bitcoin with the money that have after spending on essentials. Experienced investors should make good use of all the strategies for Bitcoin accumulation because the strategies have been developed depending on the market situation. All strategies can be used when needed, and only the strategy that is needed can be used. I think it is best if someone uses both strategies. For example: doing DCA regularly and keeping some cash in reserve, so that if there is a big dip like this time that can buy more. If anyone have extra money in hand, their should not neglect any opportunity. Because it also involves long-term stacking, and anyone can also profit from market volatility.

I don't understand what you mean by the bold words and the last time I checked that is not a strategy, there are only three (3) strategies to invest in Bitcoin which are the Dollar cost averaging (DCA method), Buy dip and Hodl and lastly the lump sum method or stretagy. DCA method was not develop because of any market situation because the DCA method can be use at any given price or value of the market and as such it is the best strategy so far when it comes to Bitcoin investment because it has help a lot of people without strong or good financial strength to still scale through.

I think what he’s trying to say In the very sentence you bolded was that people should always invest with their discretionary income, I.e the amount left with you after you might have sorted out your other major primary financial obligations including payment of your utilities and other bills etc. and of course, such strategy when applied to our bitcoin investment helps to mitigate the risk involved with the volatility of bitcoin. Almost certainly goes in line with the DCA method of accumulation and investment in bitcoin

Absolutely, I agree with your opinion, investing only from discretionary income is indeed a wise move, By ensuring that basic needs and other financial obligations are met first, we can be calmer in facing market fluctuations, especially like a few days ago when the market experienced a very sharp decline, however, I think if we have big desires in the future then we must get out of our comfort zone to seek greater income to invest.

The drop a few days ago wasn't a normal drop. Many positions have been liquidated, and Donald Trump has begun making positive statements about the Chinese tariffs that caused this. The damage was done to the Liq users' money; they lost it. This money won't come back. Therefore, we must always be careful to choose risk-free transactions. You won't have any problems with spot transactions. Ultimately, your Bitcoin will remain Bitcoin, but margin transactions disrupt the entire balance. All your assets can be wiped out in an instant, making this a very dangerous investment.

So it's most important to buy Bitcoin using DCA method and not neglecting with discretionary income

The DCA method is very effective in reducing investment risk in Bitcoin and is generally used by other investors. By using this method, you can buy Bitcoin periodically in equal amounts, thereby reducing the impact of price fluctuations.
There are many benefits that investors can gain with this method, such as reducing risk, increasing discipline in investing and helping investors take advantage of long-term profit potential. Next, it depends on you how to implement it, such as the investment amount that suits your financial capabilities and the right time period to buy Bitcoin, such as weekly or monthly. After that, you must focus on the long term to achieve your investment goals.

I think there is nothing wrong if a good investor happened to wait for Small dump or dip

I also know that if an investor can buy Bitcoin at a low price, then they have the possibility of making more profit in the future, but there is a category of investors, although it would be wrong to call them investors because they do not invest but sit in anticipation of investment. They do not know what level they will invest when they see the Bitcoin market coming. Those who are real investors are not excited during dumping and they see this dumping time as an opportunity to buy more Bitcoin, on the other hand, those who only plan to invest are not satisfied with this dumping but rather they expect a bigger dumping, due to which their investment is not successful.

Bitcoin is a reliable currency for investment, so you should not wait so long for investment and start investing quickly.

I think there is nothing wrong if a good investor happened to wait for Small dump or dip in the market

Waiting for small dump or dip in the market till when? Like when will the little dump come or occure? Is that not a waste of time and delaying your investment and probably the potential Bitcoin you would have accumulated if you had just started with your discretionary income at hand? Waiting for Dips that are not certain is not been realistic as an investor and must must be avoided. Start now, no matter what the price is at the market, use the DCA and start now, as time goes on, you can save up extra cash for that, depending on your cash flow. Stop waiting for Dips!

Additionally, buying during periods of low trading volume can also be advantageous. Low trading volume typically results in less price volatility, making it a more stable time to make your purchase. Overall, the key is to buy when the market is down and sell when it's up

What do you mean by low trading volume? We are not in anyway encouraging trading or dealing with shitcoins and/or altcoins. They are not realistic and are like mare gambling. It's Bitcoin and a more stable coin.

You mentioned buying when the market is low and selling when it is up,,, That is a NO NO! As an investor, you do not wait for the market to drop before beggining to buy Bitcoin, No,  because such mentality does not make you an investor but a trader.

Secondly, why would you even want to sell? How much of Bitcoin have you accumulated?  Didn't you enter the market to Hodl for long? Why in a hurry to sell because of a little pump? Imagine if you Hodl that your Bitcoin assets that you want to sell for at least more 4years(a circle) or more, think of the additional value, wouldn't it be more profitable for you rather than to sell now?

Buying and Hodl for longer term, 1-2-3 circles or even more would give you much more value than a hasty sell now no matter the level of gain you think you might have made now, though everyone has a choice to how they can deal with their Holdings, it is there's after all.

Largely the price of bitcoin in the past 24 hours has been right around the same price that it was at the end of September, so it should be difficult to be getting  upset even though there was an extreme up and an extreme down.. that largely brought us back to the same place we were at the beginning of the month (a mere 2 weeks ago).

However, many people have bought deep in this dumping, those who have been forced to sell Bitcoin due to the fall in the price of Bitcoin are basically weak investors. Only weak investors sell Bitcoin, but it is better not to panic and be patient because no matter how much Bitcoin is dumped, it has returned to its previous price in a short time. That is why the best investor in Bitcoin investment should never panic.

Good investor will not wait for BTC to DIP for them to buy bitcoin because that is also buying at the DIP strategy and it's wrong, what happened to the dca strategy? where you can buy without waiting for small dip to occur and with your consistent buying you will have a good BTC portfolio, you can be waiting for a drop in price that may not occur while your mate are buying steadily and could buy more when the dip happen so saying there is nothing wrong waiting for the dip before you can buy can send a misleading information to new investors who want to get started with there bitcoin investment.

Do we have good investors and bad investors perhaps you are trying to say long term investors. Every investors are good the only issues is that there exist a different mindset and mentality to go about Bitcoin investment. Long term investor are recognize as prudent or wise investors because they understand the changes of the market and also know that they can not make something meaningful in a short term in Bitcoin investment that is why they prefer to hold for long term unlike short term investors that is concerned in short term profit and this makes me feel thay are limited to knowledge and thinking because why would someone do such because of profit that is not certain or sure.

However, many people have bought deep in this dumping, those who have been forced to sell Bitcoin due to the fall in the price of Bitcoin are basically weak investors.

I believe that after the price of Bitcoin drops, it does not stay low for a long time, but starts to rise again in a short time, so it is better to stick to investing without panicking. I think that no matter how much the Bitcoin market moves towards dumping, if you can hold on and deal with it without panicking at this time, it is definitely one of the best employers. In my opinion, after investing in Bitcoin, you need to shake off the word panic and be patient. No matter how much the market moves towards dumping, you need to learn to deal with it and it is important to survive in this situation.

Nothing out of the ordinary is happening now, Bitcoin is a volatile asset and it just swinged like it is supposed to, different people will react to it differently, some positive, some negative while others are nonechalant about it. Long term investors who are on focused DCA method will not be overwhelmed by a sudden ATH then dip and now recovering, they will keep buying because they are seeing far beyond this present market fluctuations. Weak hands needs to massively offload at some points to create excess supply in the market and it becomes buying opportunities for smart investors as always.

It is true that the content of this topic was not related to Bitcoin investment, it was originally intended to discuss Bitcoin trading, Although it has gradually become an investment-related topic, meaning many people here are now leaning towards investment. After scrolling through some of the early comments, it becomes clear that the discussion here was primarily about trading because I was also involved in it and then, after the price of Bitcoin reached a high level, I accidentally sold some, which I still regret to this day. So we need to stay in the buy and hold period, and get out of the panic and sell period if everyone has dreams of excelling in Bitcoin investing and has long-term goals.

Just because everyone, or most everyone participating in this thread are more inclined towards investing, the nature of the thread has not been changed, in which it was questioning whether to sell and/or to try to trade, so guys are wrong when they are proclaiming that discussion of trading is off topic in this thread, when it is not off topic, even if "everyone" or most everyone are more inclined towards wanting to talk about investing.

I must say that the discussion of trading in this thread was not off-topic, but that has gradually changed. Actually, when you first interacted there on March 24th and posted a little bit about investing, Since then, the concept of Bitcoin trading has changed to the concept of Bitcoin investment. Even since then everyone has tried to understand the success of Bitcoin and tried to stop themselves from trading Bitcoin, As a result, everyone or most people are analyzing and discussing Bitcoin investments, even beginners have found ample opportunities to gain knowledge.

No matter how much the market moves towards dumping, you need to learn to deal with it and it is important to survive in this situation.

This is reasonable because no matter how much the market moves towards dumping, one has to survive in any situation, this is a strong sentiment for every investor. Bitcoin is currently in a huge slump, Because such a huge price drop in just two days since Friday was truly unimaginable. Therefore, in this difficult market situation, those who still have a strong attitude towards investing and have the desire to hold more are going to be successful.

That’s right, the true purpose of the DCA strategy is to eliminate worry. When you want to accumulate Bitcoin, you don’t need to think about price fluctuations or conduct deep market analysis, because your focus is on the long term. I think anyone can achieve profits if they remain consistent in applying the DCA strategy, though patience is also essential. In addition, the DCA strategy is quite effective in countering market euphoria or fear, so you won’t be influenced by whatever is happening in the market.

Most of the time the duration of the decline is very short. I think if the decline is more long term such as a stable price situation then it would be a great opportunity for investors to DCA. If you are a regular Bitcoin investor then it would be a wise investment to be aggressive during the price decline. Regular Bitcoin investment during the price decline or rise also gives you the confidence to continue investing for the long term. A panic sell off in any price market will later regret it because soon Bitcoin will reach another ATH. A great strategy to avoid panicking is to deposit Bitcoin through discretionary income because this fund is the remaining fund at the end of the month after all expenses.
