Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?

Among the volatile assets in the world, Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset, which should be invested based on timeframe, risk tolerance, and capital management when making decisions. Before investing here, you need to understand whether you are a short-term trader or a long-term trader. After that, charts, Bitcoin cycles, halving events, economic news, liquidity zones, institutional interest, market sentiment, etc. However, since people invest in Bitcoin on a long-term basis, the profit margin is much higher, and considering the halving time, there is a high probability of getting a high rate of return if you invest in Bitcoin now. And since corrections in Bitcoin are normal at 20 to 30 percent, I think the dollar cost averaging system is better for investing in Bitcoin.

Where are you getting all this your misinformations from? All you need to get start in Bitcoin is your discretionary income, and you can figure out the rest later... Sure there are times when folks may want to go beyond there basic knowledge to acquire some other technical knowledge about Bitcoin... But then folks have to understand that this technical knowledge takes a lot of time and that is why it is best understood through experience that may be gotten by already getting involved.

Yes, you are right, every person's income is very hard earned and therefore every step of their life has to be taken very carefully. There is a certain limit to investing in every matter and accordingly he has to invest considering his specific income. We have to invest in proportion to income and if you think of applying DCA method then it will be very reliable. Investing in Bitcoin should definitely not be for a short period of time.

That's absolutely not true....Folks are meant to invest by considering the availability of their discretionary income... Your primary focus when you want to invest should be on whether you have a discretionary income to do so. The reason for this is coz it is best that folks invest with their discretionary income since it is that extra money, rather than their actual income...

I am sure we are all in agreement on this, regardless of what happens, it is indeed appropriate for us to continue accumulating Bitcoin with a DCA strategy. However, I also think there's nothing wrong with buying more because, in my opinion, the current price of Bitcoin is already very low, and I also think there's no need to wait any longer since we only need to refer to Bitcoin's ATH price; if it's far below that, then it's worth buying.

If you look at the highest price Bitcoin reached last year to the lowest price it has reached this year, or in other words, the current price, the price decline Bitcoin has experienced is over forty percent. And that's such a significant drop for Bitcoin that some people have panicked and sold their holdings for fear of further losses in their portfolios. So, this isn't just a matter of agreement, but rather a matter of whether or not each person is brave enough to continue holding Bitcoin in the current situation and also buy more Bitcoin.

You're right, discretionary income is the only thing that is required in other for us to get started with Bitcoin investment trying to have other things figured out before getting started is just a waste of time because those things we are trying to figure out is not necessary for the main time, rather the only thing that we should be worried about is to figure out our discretionary income to enable us get started just like you said while accumulating Bitcoin we can start looking into those things. but as a beginner our major focus should be on how to get started rather than trying to figure out things that is not even important for the main time.

It is good to have a prudent income as the main goal in the beginner's stage. But if we invest according to the right investment strategy, it will give us good returns in the long run.

Your idea is right. When starting investment, we only have to learn to extract prudent income. A new investor faces a lot of difficulty in separating prudent income from daily expenses in a new situation. He himself feels dissatisfied with the prudent income of his income.

But we have to remember. It is very important to have a long-term attitude as soon as we start investing. To make investment long, we must create an emergency fund and a reserve fund along with prudent income. Even if the amount is small, it is advisable for us to create it at the same time. The amount of prudent income of a new investor is very small. From which if he does not decide to create two funds, he will not have to fall into a very big gap. If the investment can be started properly due to a small gap, then investing according to the rules can be considered the best idea.

Therefore, we should not only think about discretionary income but also decide to create an emergency fund and a reserve fund.

I actually needed to be a little clearer, which caused a bit of a misunderstanding. If I had been a little clearer, there is no need to think the way I said to invest on a long-term basis. Investing in Bitcoin on a long-term basis is relatively easy, just a steady income, and the mindset of investing regularly is enough. We know that the investment style in Bitcoin is different depending on the strategy. I am also talking about trading on a short-term basis. So I did not present wrong information. I just made a mistake in mentioning the name of the investment strategy. For which I apologize.

Generally speaking, people do not sell bitcoin in order to repurchase at the price that they had gotten the bitcoin, but instead, they are more likely (and more commonly) wanting to buy back at a price that was less than the amount that they sold it for.

Sir, sometimes there are exceptions. I bought Bitcoin at 30k and sold it at 60k, but after selling it, the price gradually increased, at one time it reached 126k, it reached the price at which I sold it a few days ago but now it is a little higher. So should I buy it when it is below 60k?

No one can tell you what to do, since you seem to have a trader rather than an investor mindset.

The last time that we were around $30k was in late 2023.  I would have been suggesting that any newbie to be ongoingly buying for at least a whole cycle and perhaps even more, yet each person has to figure out their own situation.

It tends to take a long to time to build up a bitcoin position, yet if you are in the practice of fucking around trying to trade, you are thinking about bitcoin differently from me.. .and you are not likely to listen to me anyhow.. and in some sense, who cares what I say, you have to figure out your own particulars, including your 9 individual factors.

So I think it's wiser to wait until a new ATH before selling Bitcoin.

Personally, I consider that it is not a good idea to sell any of your BTC until you reach over accumulation status... so then you can start to sustainably withdraw from it, yet surely there is no guarantee that bitcoin is going to continue to go up, so you have to figure out how much you are putting into bitcoin.

Bticoin seems to be one of the best, if not the best, of assets that is available for everyone and anyone to invest into as long as they have discretionary funds, yet each of us still need to figure out the extent to which we are going to invest into it and also the extent to which we might invest aggressively or whilmpily.

So your plan to sell at the next ATH comes off as trading, and it seems designed to leave you without any bitcoin, since how do you know that the price is going to come back down merely if another ATH is reached?

In bitcoin's history there have been all kinds of examples of guys selling way too many bitcoin too soon, and sometimes those incidents of selling too much too soon will come during periods that the BTC price is reaching new ATHs..

It would have been better if I had waited until a new ATH before selling at 60k.

What was the ATH?  $69k?  O.k. you could have had sold at $69k.  I doubt that really gets you anywhere meaningful, especially fucking around with trading rather than investing.  I would imagine it to be better to have a longer timeline such as 4-10 years or longer, but hey maybe you have special circumstances, yet if you are old and/or unhealthy, then you might not be able to create a timeline that is more than 10 years.

So I think those of us who are investing now or will invest in the coming days should think carefully before selling, especially when at least one new ATH arrives.

You are using the word "investing," yet you are describing something that sounds like trading...and it is up to you if you want to fuck around trading rather than investing, even though you are calling it investing, you seem to be trading.

You are probably correct that a better approach for anyone trying to accumulate bitcoin is to stay focused on ongoing buying rather than believing that they can accumulate bitcoin through selling.  When folks sell their bitcoin with an expectation of buying back cheaper, they are gambling in regards to their stash size, which may or may not end up resulting in their ability to accumulate more bitcoin - rather than staying focused on ongoing accumulation through ongoing buying only .. and also not getting deterred into waiting techniques that may well end up causing them to fail/refuse to be "in" the market during those not so common (and mostly unexpected) times in which bitcoin goes shooting up and does not correct back down to its earlier price levels.

Since Bitcoin created a few new ATHs in 2025, it would be better for those of us who are investing now to continue investing and hopefully we will get good profits in 2029. And it may be better to continue investing very patiently during this time.

You want to try to play the wave of the 4 year cycle?  which is trading rather than investing.  I cannot relate to that.. so you might have to find someone else to give you ideas about those kinds of plans.

I think Bitcoin will not be able to surpass the record of 126 thousand before 2029. So if we can continuously buy Bitcoin now and make our portfolio heavy, then we will get good profits in the future. We have seen that Bitcoin creates new ATHs at a time in every four-year cycle, so it is a good plan to continue investing without waiting.
 

Of course, you are free to have whatever theories you like.

I am not planning on playing around like that... ,and generally I recommend against it.

From where did you get these three categories?

emergency fund and reserve fund already tend to be in cash - or at least in the local currency... so I am not sure, from your point of view, how a cash fund is different from emergency funds and reserve funds.

To me, the three funds seem almost the same because the emergency fund and the reserve fund are the two funds that we keep in cash. The price of Bitcoin has dropped a lot now, so it is better to buy Bitcoin continuously instead of creating so many funds. While creating the fund, we will see that there is a fund but no Bitcoin, and the price of Bitcoin has increased many times. So what I do is invest 20% of my monthly income in Bitcoin. If I feel the need, I will invest a little more.

You are not investing .. you are gambling... even though, you can call it whatever you like.. even though you will confuse guys with your terminology.

I agree with your suggestion regarding not using your bitcoin as an emergency fund, even though I don't tend to get too excited about using emphatics, and I am not really clear about how you are suggesting that cash should be (or could be) managed in order to create situations in which there wouldn't be temptations to dip into bitcoin as emergency funds.

You are also pretty new to the forum with only a month, so have you already been buying bitcoin, or are you talking about bitcoin in theory, rather than from personal experiences?

Or maybe you started investing in bitcoin prior to your forum registration date?

I will never invest in Bitcoin with an emergency fund and I am not in favor of doing so because the emergency fund is only for my urgent needs. Speaking for myself, I was quite familiar with Bitcoin and occasionally traded since the Corona virus pandemic took shape in 2020. But I did not understand the importance of Bitcoin at that time and since then I have been buying Bitcoin through DCA.

DCA is better used for investing rather than trading.

I think many people may have been involved in trading for a long time without knowing about the forum or being on the forum.

You are still trading.

You are just trying to play your trades on longer timelines, yet you don't have enough patience to go 10 years or longer...

[Barikui1]

d . Investing in Bitcoin on a long-term basis is relatively easy, just a steady income, and the mindset of investing regularly is enough.

I think that you are wrong here mate, because sir jayjuangee has taught about this severally that you need a discretionary income to invest in Bitcoin consistently, not a steady income as you proclaimed, because their are several guys out there that has a steady income but are unable to figure out their discretionary income to invest with, and as we all know, any investment made outside your discretionary income is gambling since it will only be a matter of time before you falls back to your investment to retrieve back the money used to invest that was not your discretionary income, so it's not advisable to do such.

. We know that the investment style in Bitcoin is different depending on the strategy. I am also talking about trading on a short-term basis. So I did not present wrong information. I just made a mistake in mentioning the name of the investment strategy. For which I apologize.

Truly, Bitcoin accumulation strategy are different, but trading the market for short term gains are not categorize as investment in Bitcoin, so take note of that.

I agree with you, considering the current BTC price, any strategy is certainly suitable The current price is low, so there's no need to be afraid to buy, whether using the DCA technique or not. The important thing is to hold BTC for the long term as it has the potential to reach a new ATH

However, holding btc for the long term is certainly not easy, as the temptations are often overwhelming, especially when the price starts to rise. Many people initially intend to invest long-term in btc, but ultimately end up trading. Hopefully, those who already own btc can hold it for the long term, which can ultimately lead to successful investment in BTC

We also do not know to what extent the price correction will continue, and it is also possible that the price will keep dropping, so I think it is better not to rush into making decisions. Using a DCA strategy to accumulate Bitcoin is the wisest approach, and if we have extra money that is not being used, it is also fine to accumulate Bitcoin in larger amounts, but it should not impact anything else. Since the market situation is still difficult to predict, the important thing is to stick to the goal: to accumulate as much Bitcoin as we can and hold it for the long term.

The current low price of Bitcoin does not mean that every investment method is very good or that every investment method is good to buy now. Every time is very good to buy and every investment method is very good. It is their personal decision to invest in any method.

No one can ever say why the Bitcoin market is falling or the price of Bitcoin will increase by % in the future. Almost everything depends on it, the Bitcoin market rises and falls. So it is never possible to say exactly why the Bitcoin market is rising and falling. If Bitcoin were managed under someone, it would be possible to say why the Bitcoin market is falling or increasing in value, but the Bitcoin market is not under anyone's control

[POPOLUV]

If one can save fiat for emergency or unforseen circumstances then BTC too can play that role. BTC is money so it can play a lot of role in someone's journey to freedom from the shackles of poverty. Keep investing in BTC or hold the one's you have,if you are scared of the dip in price then sell some and keep some. BTC is here to stay though the market is unpredictable.

Emergency funds is what you can leverage on in the eruption of an unplanned circumstance at any time and it is to be saved in a liquid form where you can simply have access to it with no barriers as volatility which bitcoin possesses. Bitcoin do not serve a good role for saving emergency funds

Saving your emergency funds in bitcoin is wrong. It will be better to have it in fiat or stable coin (USDT) and not to save it in volatile asset as bitcoin. You may want to use your emergency funds on the grounds of a shocking situation and it can be that bitcoin price may be down and you be coerced to sell and convert your funds at a loss amount dew to the unpredicted circumstance.

Saving your emergency funds in bitcoin is not an emergency funds anymore, it means you have invest the money in bitcoin, emergency funds should always remain in fiat, emergency funds is a fund that you can never use to do anything or invest it in any business, it should be used for any emergency problems, such as your needs, hospital bills and other expenses, saving your emergency funds in bitcoin is very dangerous because when you sell up to the bitcoin limit of the emergency funds and you still need money to cover the expenses you will touch the remaining bitcoin.

Many people have made the same mistakes by using their emergency funds to save in bitcoin because they think if the price rise up the emergency funds will be enough for them to solve their problems, before we should try using our emergency we should remember that bitcoin is unpredictable and we can see that the current price has make us understand the reason why some people did not buy bitcoin to hold for a long time.

If any newbies or an old investors understand the true work of having an emergency fund always with him, he could come across some difficult time during your Bitcoin portfolio when you are t temptated pull out your investments because of lack of emergency fund, i so much believe the power of having emergency fund always with because the emergency fund has it own performance for you as an investors, if any one is thinking of investing with his emergency fund and do not consider of reserving the emergency fund, it means or shown that such investors is only deal with short term investment, which he is basically focus on gambling around, and which is not the best way to go with building up your Bitcoin portfolio, so for you to balance up your Bitcoin investments in case of any emergency, you need to start considering to keep your emergency fund aside with you always.

[B2Z]

Personally, I consider that it is not a good idea to sell any of your BTC until you reach over accumulation status... so then you can start to sustainably withdraw from it, yet surely there is no guarantee that bitcoin is going to continue to go up, so you have to figure out how much you are putting into bitcoin.

I think the big difference between a long-term investor and a short-term speculator is patience and the right strategy. When should long-term investment be considered as a quick profit strategy? Rather, you should invest with your own extra money according to the DCA investment method. That is why you should invest with your own extra money because if you invest with extra money, the investment will never feel pressured to the investor, as a result of which they will be able to maintain their investment continuity for a long time and keep the investment. Many may not be familiar with the concept of "over accumulation", over accumulation is a stage of investment from which selling a small amount does not have a bad effect on the investment in the case of long-term holding. Determining the right amount of investment is always important because as you said, there is no guarantee that the investment will always grow. Investment should actually be done by thinking about your own things such as how much income you are getting and how much money is left. Whether you can form an emergency fund to support the investment, or whether your time frame is suitable for long-term investment.

I think the strategies used for buying bitcoin shouldn't be determined by price of bitcoin alone .There are people that may decide to be doing DCA strategy regardless of the price of bitcoin. The strategy they are using has nothing to do with the price of bitcoin but with there goals. There are people that are buying bitcoin with long term goals and they may want to stick with strategy that works well for them in achieving there long term goals.
However, there are people that may decide to be aggressive in there bitcoin accumulation by doing lump sum. Therefore prices and individual choices do determine the strategy to be used for buying. As what works for one may not work for others.

[Kelward]

I agree that there is nothing wrong with buying more Bitcoin in dip because of the potential profits when it begins to bull but you should make sure that you can afford buying the dip outside of your regular DCA method. If you're on your DCA method during dip it means that you're also buying the dip. If you're already in DCA method and you have already structured your expenses both in your basic needs and discretionary funds I don't think that you should put yourself under pressure inorder to increase buying during dip.

Without proper financial readjustments that can afford you to squeeze out funds to aggressively buy the dip you should concentrate on your DCA accumulation. It wouldn't make financial sense if you don't have reserve funds to buy aggressively during dip and you go ahead because you will most likely sell your Bitcoin to attend to your essential needs that you tried to forgo.

[OXONE BROTHER]

I always use the Dollar Cost Average (DCA) method when buying especially for bitcoin and I don't think about selling it when it goes down but use the DCA method, that's the method for long-term investment and don't put your money in one coin or spend it all at once to buy coin.

[Taskford]

But they should know that buying at the dip is not the only best option to do.

Since everything is situational especially if we experience sudden decline just like what we are seeing on the market now.

Much better if they should buy regardless of the price of Bitcoin since DCA is not about waiting for the dip, but rather this strategy introduce us to be consistent buying Bitcoin without thinking about those unnecessary situation or market conditions.

[Bigjoe33]

I always use the Dollar Cost Average (DCA) method when buying especially for bitcoin and I don't think about selling it when it goes down but use the DCA method, that's the method for long-term investment and don't put your money in one coin or spend it all at once to buy coin.

I don't really get your statement about 'don't put your money in one coin'. Are saying that one should not invest in one coin, like bitcoin? Are you insinuating that people or investors should diversify there investments, like invest in bitcoin and other coins to avoid lossing them all at once because of the risk associated to investments? If that's what you meant, then  i think as a newbie investor that you are, it's better you concentrate on just bitcoin investment and leave other investments at least for now to enable you concentrate and focus on building your bitcoin portfolio to a reasonable size before thinking any other thing. Because running after other investments too at the same time might cause loss of concentration and may lead to improper management and allocation of resources and/or income to grow your investment.

And for the second, that we shouldn't spend all our income to buy one coin. It's okay to say that, because once your income arrives, you first settle your basic needs and then you can discover your discretionary income, with that you can begin your investment, and also noting that you would also build up your emergency funds and all other back up funds needed to sustain your investment, all from the same discretionary income(left over money, after settling your basic needs)

While creating the fund, we will see that there is a fund but no Bitcoin, and the price of Bitcoin has increased many times. So what I do is invest 20% of my monthly income in Bitcoin. If I feel the need, I will invest a little more.

You are not investing .. you are gambling... even though, you can call it whatever you like.. even though you will confuse guys with your terminology.

I agree with your suggestion regarding not using your bitcoin as an emergency fund, even though I don't tend to get too excited about using emphatics, and I am not really clear about how you are suggesting that cash should be (or could be) managed in order to create situations in which there wouldn't be temptations to dip into bitcoin as emergency funds.

You are also pretty new to the forum with only a month, so have you already been buying bitcoin, or are you talking about bitcoin in theory, rather than from personal experiences?

Or maybe you started investing in bitcoin prior to your forum registration date?

I will never invest in Bitcoin with an emergency fund and I am not in favor of doing so because the emergency fund is only for my urgent needs. Speaking for myself, I was quite familiar with Bitcoin and occasionally traded since the Corona virus pandemic took shape in 2020. But I did not understand the importance of Bitcoin at that time and since then I have been buying Bitcoin through DCA.

DCA is better used for investing rather than trading.

I think many people may have been involved in trading for a long time without knowing about the forum or being on the forum.

You are still trading.

You are just trying to play your trades on longer timelines, yet you don't have enough patience to go 10 years or longer...

You are very correct with that mindset plays a huge role here, so people approach investment like a trade others like a long term allocation , neither is automatically bad but the strategy has to match the conviction and time horizon, most individuals miss understood how much patience it takes to build a good position with out getting ejected. Trading and investment are two completely different teams one is short term reactions the other is long term positioning on this note the hard part is observing which lane one can actually fixt in and being honest.

I always use the Dollar Cost Average (DCA) method when buying especially for bitcoin and I don't think about selling it when it goes down but use the DCA method, that's the method for long-term investment and don't put your money in one coin or spend it all at once to buy coin.

Look at you using dca accumulating strategy to buy Bitcoin successfully, but at the end of your statement you spoil everything with some shitty advice, which is don't put your money in one coin or spend it all at once to buy coin.
Like how does that sound to you?
Don't you know that all other asset aside Bitcoin is full of shit?
Alt and meme are no investment because they falls more than they rise, and since they are created for gambling purposes, it's logical to avoid dealing with them in other not to lose your hard earned money, so it's more better that you stay away from shit coin to avoid had I know in the end.

DCA strategy is a reliable strategy for both poor and rich investors, newbies and experienced too. If you can be disciplined to do your DCA within your financial capacity, you have a greater chances to succeed in your bitcoin journey. Don't get carried away and choose to invest too aggressively than you can handle and also ensure you have a succour to your bitcoin stash.


You have the sole responsibility of any decision you choose to make at any point in time during your investment stage. Sometimes you have to understand that it's not all about chanting that you should not put your money in one coin. What really matters is how genuine is the coin. What are your evaluation strategies? As a newbie, can you state for fact your specification and /or yardstick for choosing those coins? It is an investment advice to only invest in what you know about: the coins with a track record. When you think of reliability, you think of bitcoin. Bitcoin has gone through stages of ups and downs and stood strong.

It is not about gathering coins probably shitcoins; this would only expose you to losses and also distract you away from trusting in bitcoin too. Most coins don't stand the test of time and we've seen many shitcoins drop to a non valuable overtime. If you don't make your findings well, if you don't think financial security first, if you base on hearsay to put in your money in some of these coins, you may regret ever investing in them.
