Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?

monitoring the price is also very important because this monitoring will enrich the knowledge level of new investors.

Monitoring the market is one of the biggest mistake that a new beginner in bitcoin investment should be doing, what you should focus is to accumulate and hold. You have no business monitoring the bitcoin market because as a new beginner monitoring the market we always make you emotional, and also make you to panic, which may lead to you taking a decision that we affect your bitcoin investment, decisions like selling your bitcoin, reducing the amount used in accumulating, start waiting for the dip before accumulating, etc. so as a new beginner in bitcoin investment, don’t monitor the bitcoin market if you really want to succeed, focus your attention in accumulating regularly since the goal and mission is accumulating and holding for long term. There’s no need monitoring the market like a trader.

If they monitor the market or the prices it can make them to emotional knowing that it moves unexpectedly, those bad emotions they had will lead them to do crazy decisions. That's why if they are on DCA much better not to pay much attention on the prices so they can avoid making mistake and they can focus on their goals.

Since DCA is all about consistency and not for chasing prices on the market. The goal is to build wealth and we are not chasing for dips here.

Sure there can be situations in which guys need to adjust the amounts that they are investing in bitcoin and perhaps even temporarily suspend their buying of bitcoin in situations in which income has gone down and/or expenses have gone up... and surely some amount of back up funds could be used to continue to buy bitcoin, yet if the situation persists, then buying of bitcoin might need to be temporarily suspended, and surely most of us should be striving to avoid getting ourselves into any situations in which we might end up having to tap into our bitcoin at a time that is not completely of our own choosing and especially if we had gotten to such a problematic cash reserves situation due to our own poor cashflow management practices.

Well. I'm not denying the facts, but. Even if some people temporarily pauses buying of bitcoin, the main problem might still remain the same if really there wasn't any financial planning from the beginning. Stopping purchases doesn't or cannot fix the poor cash flow management automatically, once someone started investing in Bitcoin without separating fund for the essential expenses and discretionary funds, they will still later face the financial pressures. The consequences of a weak financial planning will definitely show up eventually, weather they continues buying of bitcoin or put it on hold/pause. People tends to ignore the understanding the discretionary funds quickly, and it's very important to know it, so there's no way one would not face difficulties in financial decisions without properly understanding discretionary funds.

Furthermore,although pausing Bitcoin purchases can actually help temporarily, but it doesn’t solve the fundamental issues if there wasn't an establishment of financial disciplined,because appropriat practicing use of discretionary funds from initial stages, authorize the investors consistently and also prevent themselves from unnecessarily financial stress, which ensured they never attempt to sell thier bitcoin due to poorer financial management.

We are speaking a bit abstractly, since there could be all kinds of situations in which a person might identify that they made errors in their bitcoin investment and/or cashflow management practices, and they may or may not be able to stop the damage or to recover from it.   

i would imagine that many folks would want to learn from their mistakes in order to improve their cashflow management practices, even though some folks may well be sloppy in their practices and then fail to learn from their mistakes.. and sometimes even end up compounding more mistakes upon their earlier mistakes.

I would speculate that guys who are paying attention and trying to learn from their investing and/or cashflow management mistakes are going to be in a better position as compared to those who do not try to learn, and it does frequently take time and dedication to try to learn from mistakes and/or even establish practices that mistakes can be traced.

Any bitcoin investor that's in competition with his mate and buy aggressively beyond his discretionary income is only gambling and not investing because his friend needs and monthly expenses will definitely be different from his even though, they're receiving the same amount of weekly income.

Investing in Bitcoin is not supposed to be a competition, beside this space is not a competitive one, so why the competition? If you are competing with someone or with your friends in this space you are likely to invest above your capacity, because your source of income and  the one of those you are competing with are not same, likewise your problems and expenses.

Instead of competing with your friends, Why not stick within your capacity and accumulate Bitcoin with your discretionary income using the DCA method consistently till you reach your own accumulating target, and then hold for long term. The amount others are using to accumulating Bitcoin with doesn't matter to you, so don't let it bother you. just accumulate Bitcoin with little you can afford consistently and you will achieve your goals. Have your goals and target, look for ways to achieve them. instead competing with someone who has different goals and  target.

I don't see any problem with people wanting to compete with their neighbors and/or to set goals for themselves that relate to comparing themselves to others, even though the main goal should be that they coordinate their own bitcoin investment and cashflow management within their own parameters.. so yeah, if they end up losing focus or getting confused based on situations that are not their own, then they ONLY have themselves to blame for failing to adequately account for their own circumstances.

So, there could be a difference between healthy  and unhealthy competition... since healthy competition can motivate, yet unhealthy competition might cause errors and even overdoing it, as you (Joy- maker) suggested could happen with some people.

Many have been complaining of finding it difficult to make a suitable entry and invest in Bitcoin and also be profitable about it within a short period of time, things like this do happen when we fail to do the needful and avoid getting used to the necessary steps that must be taken you know that's why I have an effective Bitcoin investment experience.

Understanding the current market situation is very important, knowing that the market has now been revolving round within $60,000 to $70,000. We can always find a suitable entry from this range and buy to hold, then later sell out when the market rises. We also fall back on the market and buy when it plummets, this is just a very simple strategy we can make use of and be profitable within a short time.

[PERtua]

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?

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.

Keep buying don't mind the market price for now. Yes the market is unpredictable because it is a marketplace. The thing that drives market is the unforseen hands of demand and supply. A good investor will target when prices of goods is on the downward slide in the market then he or she will invest heavily because the price is low and he or she willtarget when the prices of the goods is up and he or she sells and make some good profits. So my advice is keep buying if you have the funds and wait for the forces of demand and supply to take effect in the market.

Both opinions presented below bring up a valuable fact about the crypto market: it is extremely volatile. Attempting to make the correct decision of buying or selling at the optimum time is extremely hard since prices may fall or shift within minutes depending on the market sentiment, demand and supply. It can be a good idea to wait until there is a correction before making any kind of purchase because when prices are down, it can be a good time to buy. Things however do not always turn out as expected in the market and occasionally those who take long to make the decision may also miss the opportunities. Most of the experienced investors are thus oriented on long-run plans that include accumulating gradually, purchasing when they can comfortably absorb it and also not to be emotionally influenced by fluctuation of the market in the short run only.

It is very important to take steps rather than wait as you said and the action must be consistent. Consistent buying will definitely include us in dip buying. Another thing I would like to add is that, buying regularly in the initial stage is of course good but monitoring the price is also very important because this monitoring will enrich the knowledge level of new investors.

I find it very difficult to understand why you intend that newbies prioritize monitoring Bitcoin's pricewhen they are meant to focus on learning and building their confidence... You are wrong coz monitoring the price dosen't enrich newbies intellect, it rather fill them up with unnecessary fear(since they are new to volatility) which may even push them into trading with their Bitcoin before reaching over-accumulation.. Remember that newbies haven't yet properly understand bitcoin so their confidence level may not be like those who have spent years in Bitcoin....So a better suggestion would be that newbies utilize those time that they spend monitoring the price to invest gradually and learn as they go.

you are correct, monitoring of bitcoin price won't help newbies that much and as you said there focus should be on consistent accumulation. The reason why most people do monitor the price of bitcoin is because they are not in for long term so they are watching when it will be favourable for them to take profits or sell there bitcoin.  However, as much as it isn't a good idea for newbies to be distracted with bitcoin prices, it won't stop them from selling or to hold either. Sometimes it is more of personal decision and patients to hold bitcoin for a long term.

With those kinds of ideas about bitcoin as a trade rather than an investment, you are likely to have fun staying poor.  Sucks for you.

This thread is about bitcoin, not shitcoins (or crypto)

Attempting to make the correct decision of buying or selling at the optimum time is extremely hard since prices may fall or shift within minutes depending on the market sentiment, demand and supply.

Sounds like a losing approach to try to trade one of the best, if not the best, of assets available to everyone and anyone for investment as long as you have discretionary funds.

It can be a good idea to wait until there is a correction before making any kind of purchase because when prices are down

There has already been a correction.  As I type this post, bitcoin prices are currently right around $69.5k, which is about 45% down from the $126k top in early October 2025.   

, it can be a good time to buy. Things however do not always turn out as expected in the market and occasionally those who take long to make the decision may also miss the opportunities. Most of the experienced investors are thus oriented on long-run plans that include accumulating gradually, purchasing when they can comfortably absorb it and also not to be emotionally influenced by fluctuation of the market in the short run only.

At least you seem to recognize that there is a difference between investing and trading..

Perhaps?

bitcoin is very volatile and you cant predict what will happen next so the idea of waiting for a suitable entry is a wrong mindset of a bitcoin investor, it is more of a traders mentality who is in for a short profit and getting rich quick mindset of which bitcoin isnt a get rich quick kind of scheme as you are going to be more prone to loses. instead of waiting for a perfect entry before buying an asset that is highly unpredictable as bitcoin i think it will be more better to buy regularly and hold with the dca method by figuring out a discretionary income for your regular purchase at any market price either weekly or monthly basis as your income flows.

Mistake are always unavoidable when it comes to money and Bitcoin investment but the real state difference shows in how people react to them so many individuals take the time to reflect and adjust their living and get better over time while others repeat the same methods without truly examining what went bad. Cash flow management especially takes patience and discipline to improve, people who stayed curious and willing to learn from their mistake usually end up building a good financial position.

bitcoin is very volatile and you cant predict what will happen next so the idea of waiting for a suitable entry is a wrong mindset of a bitcoin investor, it is more of a traders mentality who is in for a short profit and getting rich quick mindset of which bitcoin isnt a get rich quick kind of scheme as you are going to be more prone to loses. instead of waiting for a perfect entry before buying an asset that is highly unpredictable as bitcoin i think it will be more better to buy regularly and hold with the dca method by figuring out a discretionary income for your regular purchase at any market price either weekly or monthly basis as your income flows.

I agree with your sentiment here because what you said here is  actually true, waiting for the dip before buying is never a good idea because you are likely going to miss so many buying opportunities that would have present itself in the market during that period of waiting, and in most cases you may not even buy at all because the dip you may be waiting for may not come, and that's how you are going to miss out buying entirely.

So in my own opinion, buying consistently either weekly or monthly is the best, then if their is a serious dip in the market, you may decide to seize the opportunity and buy aggressively then only if you have the reserve funds to carry it out, not by waiting for it to dip before buying.

Those waiting for the dip this is a good buying opportunity for you guys wait no more because if we keep waiting we wasting more buying opportunity. It's traders who indulge in this practice of always waiting for the price of bitcoin to dip before buying, those who wait for dip will always have less bitcoin with them, investing consistently is always the best step when buying bitcoin using the dca strategy will improve and increase our bitcoin hodling if we consistently buy every weeks or months.

Cash flow management especially takes patience and discipline to improve, people who stayed curious and willing to learn from their mistake usually end up building a good financial position.

Well said, making mistakes is not a problem but not learning from mistakes is the real problem. IMO, one of the biggest and most common mistakes in investing in Bitcoin is choosing an investment fund, i.e., many people still do not know what money to invest or should invest with.
Because you should not invest from all your income, you should invest in Bitcoin from only your extra money, what is left after deducting all your daily expenses, that is, what we call discretionary income, you should invest with that money. Investing emergency money, investing by borrowing, and panicking when the price drops are all common mistakes in investing.

So if someone invests with discretionary income or a small part of their regular income, then market fluctuations cannot affect the investor much and through this strategy, all these common mistakes can be avoided and the investment can be successful as planned.

[Gallar]

If they monitor the market or the prices it can make them to emotional knowing that it moves unexpectedly, those bad emotions they had will lead them to do crazy decisions. That's why if they are on DCA much better not to pay much attention on the prices so they can avoid making mistake and they can focus on their goals.

Since DCA is all about consistency and not for chasing prices on the market. The goal is to build wealth and we are not chasing for dips here.

For new Bitcoin investors, I think it's best not to monitor the market frequently. It will clearly undermine our intentions and our mentality. Beginners generally don't understand how the Bitcoin cycle works, and therefore, I believe frequently monitoring market prices is very dangerous for them. For investors who have been in Bitcoin for a while, I'm sure they won't panic about the current market situation. They know this is only temporary and the market direction will remain unchanged, which is always upward.

Therefore, if we've started to understand and have a mindset at that point, I think it's okay to monitor the Bitcoin market frequently. But why should we monitor the Bitcoin market frequently? We're long-term investors, and we only monitor the market when accumulating. Therefore, I believe deepening our knowledge of Bitcoin is crucial, as it will be a valuable asset for strengthening our ability to hold Bitcoin for longer periods.

I want to ask what it even suitable entry as some people assume, is there anything like that, do such exist anywhere? So if I have why it takes to start up my Bitcoin investment, so I should wait just because there something I'm harboring in my mind as the best time to invest, what an illed mindset towards Bitcoin investment, when my mates are busy investing with DCA strategy I will be doing nothing waiting for something that might stay forever to come, may be I should not have even think of the investment in the first since I'm the one that is deliberately or should I say ignorantly delaying myself because I think that the best entry period period will come soon, I do not know if some investors really think they way some of us think, if actually, dips are the best and the only time that people should consider investing in Bitcoin, do the think that DCA strategy would have been there, I do not know why people are always bent on deceiving themselves instead of buying now, tomorrow, at all time or anything they are ready, consistently and Hodl for a long-term.

Of course, novice investors are advised not to monitor the market too closely, as excessive monitoring of price movements can negatively impact their psychology, causing stress and potentially leading to poor decision-making due to a lack of understanding and familiarity with Bitcoin's workings and nature.
Beginners should learn and understand Bitcoin and its long-term potential. It is crucial for them to understand that Bitcoin can be very profitable if invested long-term without frequent market monitoring, knowing that in the long run, its price will eventually rise again. They should focus entirely on accumulation or use the DCA method without paying attention to the market, knowing that in the long run, their Bitcoin holdings will continue to grow, which will provide significant future returns.

There are people that are still waiting for bitcoin to dip more to then they believe that the market will still decline more. This is a very wrong mindset. Waiting for a desire dip is a big mistake that many do make because nobody can predict the price of bitcoin accurately instead of utilising the opportunity the market present to buy more bitcoin.
Yes it is mostly traders that prioritise waiting for bitcoin to dip before buying with the expectations of selling whenever the price goes up.

When someone decides to go beyond their means in financial matters, they will definitely face more losses instead of getting something good. One should refrain from making decisions based on emotions in financial matters, one should always keep the aspect of ability in mind here, one should invest what is within one's means, deciding to do something extra will bring more negative results. When we have separate money to save aggressively along with keeping our DCA consistent, that is when we should do it, but investing aggressively with the required amount is completely foolish, it will only create more losses, so we need to be realistic and aware before taking such decisions.

DCA doesn't mean that we invest on every dip. It depends upon one financial condition and how much can be invested for DCA. Also, it depends upon the period for which you are holding the asset or bitcoin in this case. If you can hold for four to five years, then you may DCA every month or on every major dip, while if you are doing DCA for trading, it could be much more aggressive, but still, you need to analyze your portfolio before taking investment decisions.

You are correct; Dollar-Cost-Averaging (DCA) does not always involve purchasing price dips as they occur. Your ability to use this strategy is closely tied to your personal financial situation and the amount of money that you can reasonably invest in Bitcoin over an extended period. In addition, whether or not you plan to hold Bitcoin over an extended period (4-5 years) will affect the effectiveness of this strategy. Purchasing multiple times every week on a consistent basis should work well for long-term holders, while those who are using DCA as a part of their trading strategy should be executing this strategy aggressively. However, the primary consideration when developing an ongoing DCA trading strategy should be portfolio assessment and risk management.

[laspol65]

monitoring the price is also very important because this monitoring will enrich the knowledge level of new investors.

Monitoring the market is one of the biggest mistake that a new beginner in bitcoin investment should be doing, what you should focus is to accumulate and hold. You have no business monitoring the bitcoin market because as a new beginner monitoring the market we always make you emotional, and also make you to panic, which may lead to you taking a decision that we affect your bitcoin investment, decisions like selling your bitcoin, reducing the amount used in accumulating, start waiting for the dip before accumulating, etc. so as a new beginner in bitcoin investment, don’t monitor the bitcoin market if you really want to succeed, focus your attention in accumulating regularly since the goal and mission is accumulating and holding for long term. There’s no need monitoring the market like a trader.

If they monitor the market or the prices it can make them to emotional knowing that it moves unexpectedly, those bad emotions they had will lead them to do crazy decisions. That's why if they are on DCA much better not to pay much attention on the prices so they can avoid making mistake and they can focus on their goals.

Since DCA is all about consistency and not for chasing prices on the market. The goal is to build wealth and we are not chasing for dips here.

Those who focus more on buying Bitcoin will benefit the most at the present time, if you can deposit Bitcoin at a low price, then of course it is important to follow the DCA method if you invest in Bitcoin for future purposes. Where many investors have invested in Bitcoin using the DCA method and they are successful because there is a huge saving on the purchase price. If you buy when the price of Bitcoin is high, you will still save on the purchase price, and if you buy Bitcoin according to the DCA method if the price of Bitcoin is low, you will still save on the purchase price. Where in both cases, Bitcoin investors can play a fairly useful role, so investing in Bitcoin according to the DCA method is the most likely to be successful.

[MissNonFall9]

I agree with your other words but I think it will be very difficult for a person to invest 25 percent of his total income in the DCA method. I hope that if this percentage is reduced a little, there will be no disruption in investment in the future. The main thing behind success in the world is consistency. So, if you reduce the investment rate in the DCA method as you said and keep some money for regular emergency sectors, the investment will be strong and consistent, as well as the emergency sector will be strong. Then we can hope that in the future we will not have to break Bitcoin, no matter how difficult the situation may be.

Investing 25% of your net income is totally wrong because investment in Bitcoin is not done that way where you will divide your income into four places and invest with one place, that's not proper because you should first of all try to address all your basic needs first, then anything that is left after all your basic needs have been met, which is now the discretionary income is what he should be investing with, since he might miscalculate his basic needs and will later be compel to temper with his Bitcoin holdings. So in other not to miscalculate, he just have to address his basic needs first before investing with what's left.

And that's why I said investing 25 percent of a person's net income is very difficult and investing in Bitcoin should be in a comfortable zone because it is a long term process. For that- first of all, an investor needs to meet his basic needs and then he can comfortably invest the money that is left and the money that is considered his discretionary income.

When someone decides to go beyond their means in financial matters, they will definitely face more losses instead of getting something good. One should refrain from making decisions based on emotions in financial matters, one should always keep the aspect of ability in mind here, one should invest what is within one's means, deciding to do something extra will bring more negative results. When we have separate money to save aggressively along with keeping our DCA consistent, that is when we should do it, but investing aggressively with the required amount is completely foolish, it will only create more losses, so we need to be realistic and aware before taking such decisions.

DCA doesn't mean that we invest on every dip. It depends upon one financial condition and how much can be invested for DCA. Also, it depends upon the period for which you are holding the asset or bitcoin in this case. If you can hold for four to five years, then you may DCA every month or on every major dip, while if you are doing DCA for trading, it could be much more aggressive, but still, you need to analyze your portfolio before taking investment decisions.

The main point of DCA investment is consistency, it is just a long-term strategy of buying in a consistent manner. There is no thought about price when buying, and there is never an attempt to gain short-term profit from it, we have to remain steadfast towards the set long-term goal. In the case of Bitcoin investment, we must take a minimum of 4 years, and you can hold on to it as much as possible, it depends on you, but our investment goal should not be below 4 years, because a cycle of Bitcoin is completed in 4 years and that is why keeping it for four years creates a good possibility of success. So DCA is basically a method that depends on discipline, patience and proper planning, those who can stay with it well, their success is likely to come in a very good form.
