Structure wise I think bitcoin will fall, however this is not a bad time to buy bitcoin for long term investments. Opinion is to buy little now and hopefully it goes lower you buy again. That way you get the whole trend and enjoy your investment


Any time is the best time to accumulate if your goal is long-term investment because the focus is not on perfect timing, but on consistent buying, whether DCA or accumulation are both effective as long as they are done with discipline, especially for beginners who are just starting their investment in bitcoin, this approach is more recommended because it helps them to build a position in Bitcoin without being too affected by short-term fluctuations that can sometimes confuse them.

 :
Both new and old investors will invest in Bitcoin for long-term investment. So their purpose will be to follow the DCA method, in which case we cannot take any other steps. Then the new ones may be confused, so we should not make any unnecessary discussion that confuses the new ones by the discussion. Savings means that many people understand fiat money, so it is best not to use the word savings where we can use the word Bitcoin investment.
And if Bitcoin investment can be continued at a long-term rate, then of course there is a saving on the purchase price and if Bitcoin is maintained according to the DCA method, then Bitcoin investment will definitely be successful.

[Edited out]
what did you call them again? Newbies right?

That alone already explains a lot.. If someone is still new, it means they do not really have that solid understanding about Bitcoin investment yet..  Most of them are still trying to learn, observe, and even compare different ideologies..

So when you say you are still wondering why they act that way… hmm, it’s kinda funny because that’s literally what makes them newbies in the first place, they are still figuring things out, that is why most of them are here in the first place…

I understand the term "newbies" to say that someone is new to bitcoin, yet it does not mean that they are new to life.  In other words, newbies can come from a variety of experience levels, knowledge levels and even capable of learning levels.  The ONLY thing they share in common is that they are new to bitcoin.

There are other things that I presume about most people not having investment experience, and perhaps if they are on a forum then they are an adult and/or mature, even though those matters may or may not end up being true, so some folks might need to clarify their own situations (and perspectives) to the extent that their situations/perspectives might be relevant in regards to either points they are making or questions that they might be asking.

You're absolutely correct, and I'm glad you made this very clear to each and everyone of us here that being a newbie does not mean that they are new to life. As a matter of fact most of the people that claims to be newbie or beginners here are even older than majority of the users here Which they might have had enough experience and even well knowledgeable than most of us who claims to know everything about bitcoin and I believe with that experience and the knowledge they had they can be able to differentiate right and wrong because in reality they not newbies, is just a title given to someone who is new to something but the fact that they are giving this title does not mean  they can't understand or stick to some simple instructions unless they are told.

The most important thing is that you keep your accumulation ongoing irrespective of the amount that you are using to buy bitcoin provided that you don't pause your bitcoin investment because you want to wait to buy at the dip.

However, I think it doesn't go too well with me to DCA whimpily just because I am looking up to buy more at the dip when I can put that money into my weekly DCA and keep my reserve funds to buy at the dip. It's not good to hold back too much fiat because you are planning to use it to accumulate at the dip. Some thing might pop up and you will use that money that you are keeping for the dip to solve it.
In long-term investment, consistency is important. However, if someone wants to take additional advantage during market declines along with consistent investment, in this case some money can be kept in dipp funds which we will mainly use during the decline. However, in creating a fund to buy in the decline, we should first take care of whether the money has been deposited properly in our emergency fund. Because if I do not pay attention to preparing an emergency fund and focus more on creating a fund to buy in the decline, how will I handle it if an emergency situation comes after buying in the decline? So I think that after keeping the money in the investment and emergency fund, I can set aside some money in small amounts (up to 5%, 10% or 15%) for dip funds. However, the funds required to sustain the long-term investment strategy and strategy should be given more priority and then opportunities can be taken according to ability.

However since investing in Bitcoin is somewhat risky, it is more reasonable to use the word investment in this case.
The most popular way to invest in Bitcoin on a long-term basis is the dollar cost averaging (DCA) method. In this case a person's discretionary income should be used and the amount of the DCA method should be increased or decreased based on the amount of this income.

I guess investors are investing in BTC for profits earning, which they will be ready to hodl BTC for long years before they can sell to earn good profits. Since they have been using the DCA method to accumulate BTC,  it will make them to remain in BTC investment, because that method is very easy for BTC hodlers to earn what will make them to be bold to introduce the method to other people.

It will be good for the new investors to understand the method very well before using DCA to accumulate BTC, because you need to create a good wallet that will make your efforts not to be in Vail in the future. This is the reason some people are hodling for long, because they know it will going to lead them to massive profits.

Know this bitcoin investment is far different from normal saving , in Bitcoin investment focus on building in regardless of the market conditions and the value of your token can change anytime depending on market conditions.

The only way to invest in bitcoin is on a long term basis, if you are not investing for long term then don't bother with calling yourself an investor because you are not investing as far as bitcoin is concerned.
The reason why we invest with our discretionary income is because it's a long term investment, getting quick returns isn't a part of the plan so rather than invest with your capital you invest with something you can do without, the fact that you are investing in bitcoin doesn't affect your life in any negative way so you won't end up selling halfway through, this is also why emergency funds are important, anything can happen so we prepare for these unexpected events by saving for them, if they happen then we don't have to sell our stash because of them, if they don't happen then we still didn't lose anything, either way our investment is safe.

The world is now modernized to a point where most people think saving in bitcoin is  more safer and less stress than saving in the bank especially those who are planning to save for the future after considering how inflation has been eating people's money and also the charges they keep applying is becoming so unbearable. I think it is only those who are not exposed to digital currency (Bitcoin) that will be there doing bank things since they haven't figure out a way to escape inflation and bank problems that is why majority are still saving in bank, and I think we need to tell this people about bitcoin investment and see if they will be interested to save in bitcoin or they will stick to their usual method of savings.

Bitcoin investment is very important for the future, those who deposit money in the bank are basically making a mistake and their money becomes the owner of a third party if they deposit money in the bank. The bank's money gets the opportunity to be controlled by a third party, but only the one who holds Bitcoin owns it, no other person will get the opportunity to control this Bitcoin.
As you move forward towards the future, you will see that the price of Bitcoin is increasing gradually, but you can see the history of money from the past to the present and how inflation has been created and the value of money has decreased.

So no matter what you prove from any side, if you have to invest for the future, then Bitcoin will definitely play the best role. In the current position, Bitcoin is the best and the best strategy for investment. According to the DCA method, a poor person can participate in Bitcoin investment.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to "non-custodial"

If you are trying to make money through your investing, you are trading, not investing.

Perhaps if you can figure out ways to earn income and to support yourself from your income, then you don't have to worry about earning money from your investment until later down the road.. perhaps after a couple of cycles of investing into bitcoin.
There are things people don't understand, as soon as an investor starts his Bitcoin journey, everything should be centered on how to make the investment a smooth process by looking out for ways to have more funds to invest, just like looking for improved income not necessarily thinking about profit when we already know that Bitcoin investment is a long-term thing, I think those that think about profit from a start are not real investors although they have their choices of action and decisions but can never be called investors, you can invest today and want to withdraw tomorrow and called yourself a serious investor, people keep deceiving themselves but the real thing is that Bitcoin is futuristic in nature and those who understand that part don't deviate from it.

There are some folks who don't know the difference between trading and investing, so they refer to trading as investing.. and some of the folks are really smart, yet they don't realize how to get themselves into a different mindset.

Of course, it is understandable that people need to make a living and they have to have enough income so that they can pay for their expenses, yet if they are not earning enough money, then they are forced to sell from their investment or maybe they are trying to use their investment to cover potential short-falls in their monthly expenses, and so they don't realize that while a person is building up his capital, it is better not to be relying on the bitcoin investment (or trades) for supporting oneself in the short-term... and so even though they still think that they are investing, they ultimately don't have enough money (capital) to support what they are trying to achieve. .which is they want their investment to grow while they are also shaving off portions of it to pay for their monthly living expenses... .which many of us would characterize that as trading and/or gambling rather than investing... .. and it is quite rare that anyone is able to build up their capital in that kind of a way,. unless perhaps they might "hit it big" and then change their behaviors after they "hit it big," yet the problem is that they likely have been developing and practicing bad habits, practices and bad thinking in terms of how to differentiate investing and trading (and why it matters, too).

1) Self-Custody is a right.  Resist being labelled as: "non-custodial" or "un-hosted."  2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized.  3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k

Yes, when we want to save, it's certainly possible anywhere, whether in fiat currency or other assets. But I think when we save money, we should avoid instruments that can be eroded by inflation. Because, like fiat currency, I think it's no secret that fiat currency is continually eroded by inflation every year. So, for me, saving money in fiat is definitely not my favorite. So I only keep a small amount of money in my account and in my safe at home. Because those are really for necessities and emergencies. Then, the majority of my money is clearly in Bitcoin, and also in other assets like land, gold, and stocks. So, essentially, I look for assets that can minimize the impact of inflation, which will inevitably continue to exist. And I think Bitcoin, and the few assets I own so far, have felt pretty good to me. Because, essentially, inflation hasn't really been able to penetrate and erode my assets.

You are absolutely right sir . Many people understand the difference between trading and investing in terms of language, but not in behavior. They think, "I put money in Bitcoin, so I'm an investor." But at the same time, they want to get short-term cashflow from that same position, cover monthly expenses, buy on dips, sell on pumps, and still call themselves long-term investors. This is where the mindset is messed up. The asset class may be the same, but if the behavior goes into short-term survival mode, then it is no longer proper investing. Then it becomes trading, shaving, or in many cases plain gambling.

There's really a big difference between investing and also trading which people need to understand. Since talking about investing, this is about waiting patiently for long time and try to build consistently their portfolio on their target years. If they are unto trading which is less recommendable here, they might engage on same like gambling and they might sell early to cover up their daily expenses.

This also make their position unsustainable. Real investment is all about making their investment grow and they should not to rely their daily needs to possible profit they could get from it.

Both new and old investors will invest in Bitcoin for long-term investment. So their purpose will be to follow the DCA method, in which case we cannot take any other steps. Then the new ones may be confused, so we should not make any unnecessary discussion that confuses the new ones by the discussion. Savings means that many people understand fiat money, so it is best not to use the word savings where we can use the word Bitcoin investment.
And if Bitcoin investment can be continued at a long-term rate, then of course there is a saving on the purchase price and if Bitcoin is maintained according to the DCA method, then Bitcoin investment will definitely be successful.

It is true that many people may understand savings only in fiat currency. But savings can be made in any way or in any currency, be it fiat or digital currency. And for this reason to make savings more clear, it can be said as savings in Bitcoin or savings in fiat currency. However since investing in Bitcoin is somewhat risky, it is more reasonable to use the word investment in this case.
The most popular way to invest in Bitcoin on a long-term basis is the dollar cost averaging (DCA) method. In this case a person's discretionary income should be used and the amount of the DCA method should be increased or decreased based on the amount of this income.

You can choose to save with any means that please you either with fiat, stable coin or BTC . But if you are worried about volatility as you invest you can make use of stable coin which actually have no volatility the price are just stable .

Know this bitcoin investment is far different from normal saving , in Bitcoin investment focus on building in regardless of the market conditions and the value of your token can change anytime depending on market conditions.
Are you encouraging saving in USDT/USDC (I guess are what you refer to as stable coins) instead of bitcoin? If you think the USDT does not suffer inflation influence then you are making a mistake. USDT/USDC is a fiat and only stable as a more unified legal tender and not in its wholesomeness. It is best to save your money in bitcoin for a long time because bitcoin has the potential of getting better everyday. The value of bitcoin is unlimited unlike fiats that can be eroded by inflation. Volatility which you described as an anomaly is actually the strength of bitcoin. What matters is, are you able to hold your bitcoin for a long term as savings (investment) and not as trade?

Having the right knowledge about the future of bitcoin is all you require to harness the full potential in saving your money as bitcoin instead of exposing it to inflation that hit fiats daily.

If you are trying to make money through your investing, you are trading, not investing.

Perhaps if you can figure out ways to earn income and to support yourself from your income, then you don't have to worry about earning money from your investment until later down the road.. perhaps after a couple of cycles of investing into bitcoin.

Many people misunderstand what it means to invest in Bitcoin. From day one there focus should be on consistency and sustainability, focusing on ways to increas their Bitcoin accumulation. Not chasing quick profit.

Bitcoin is a long term investment, if your mindset is centered on immediate gain  you are likely to struggle to remain consistent. Real investor understand patience and discipline. Bitcoin is futuristic and those who truly understand  that stay consistent and don't get distracted by short term gains.

Those who prefer to make reliable and permanent investments mainly maintain a continuous purchase of Bitcoin investments, waiting for a long-term hold. However, those who rely on trading are always worried about benefits and when they make a small profit, they give up their holdings, which is the most risky in short-term investments. In the current situation, investing in Bitcoin is very easy and it is easiest to hold it for the long term.
The price of Bitcoin is under control, so if all investors maintain a continuous purchase now, then surely after the two bull seasons, the benefits will be several times more than the capital.

That is true and indeed that should be the mindset, but if there are those who are only chasing short-term profits, I think they are people who have just started investing in Bitcoin and are still mistaken in assessing this investment, because we have seen from the past that Bitcoin will continue to develop and the same thing can continue to happen, so we do not need to be afraid of anything and just believe that the same will continue to happen in the future, so our focus should rightly only be on accumulating as much as possible and as much as we can.

Structure wise I think bitcoin will fall, however this is not a bad time to buy bitcoin for long term investments. Opinion is to buy little now and hopefully it goes lower you buy again. That way you get the whole trend and enjoy your investment

I’m assuming it’s because you’re a newbie that you’re saying this; Maybe do more of learning and reading than commenting, your opinion is not valid in that it’s a wrong approach to buying bitcoin.

The goal of investing in bitcoin should be long term and to achieve this you shouldn’t have to care about the price, what matters is you’re continually investing with your discretionary income whether dip or no dip.

How do you know the price will fall lower,… what if it doesn’t and you were whimply when you could have invested your desired discretionary amount.

There are some folks who don't know the difference between trading and investing, so they refer to trading as investing.. and some of the folks are really smart, yet they don't realize how to get themselves into a different mindset.

Of course, it is understandable that people need to make a living and they have to have enough income so that they can pay for their expenses, yet if they are not earning enough money, then they are forced to sell from their investment or maybe they are trying to use their investment to cover potential short-falls in their monthly expenses, and so they don't realize that while a person is building up his capital, it is better not to be relying on the bitcoin investment (or trades) for supporting oneself in the short-term... and so even though they still think that they are investing, they ultimately don't have enough money (capital) to support what they are trying to achieve. .which is they want their investment to grow while they are also shaving off portions of it to pay for their monthly living expenses... .which many of us would characterize that as trading and/or gambling rather than investing... .. and it is quite rare that anyone is able to build up their capital in that kind of a way,. unless perhaps they might "hit it big" and then change their behaviors after they "hit it big," yet the problem is that they likely have been developing and practicing bad habits, practices and bad thinking in terms of how to differentiate investing and trading (and why it matters, too).
They might actually know the difference between the two but decide to look smart not knowing that they are deceiving themselves, one thing is about planning or having the mindset that it is Bitcoin investment you want another thing is to keep doing it without being tempted as time goes by to move away from the initial plan, although I still agree with you that some persons cannot differentiate the two as you said.

Yea people need to have a good life and will want other sources of income to achieve that but is it that some Bitcoin investors behave like they are been persuaded to invest with amount that is higher than their means, if someone invest appropriately with their discreationary there won't be need to go for something that's highly risky and very unrealistic to achieve, i have my opinion, I don't think trading should be an option for a Bitcoin invest, if I may ask what for,  once any real investor start it, he or she should know that they must withdraw from theoe Bitcoin asset to trade someday that's just it, so is that the best, no of course, I don't think there's any trader anywhere that'll have huge profit that'll want to exit totally from the scene, I dont think that possible, don't forget that trading has some atom of addiction in it, it means they must go for more and likely they'll get hooked, the best is to invest with our discreationary income, after all every real investor plan and hope is to hustle hard to increase their discreationary income to make their Bitcoin accumulation faster to arrive at their goal.

Keeping your accumulation consistent is the good part, the amount itself is not the main issue. You can even be a bit flexible with how much you invest in each time, no problem. as long as you are not inconsistent with the DCA itself.

Once the DCA is good and kind of steady, you are already doing the most important part right, everything else can adjust along the way..
The amount that is being used should always a major factor to consider this is coz it is what determines the outcome/or size of your investment in the long term... If your focus is to accumulate for a longer timeframe of say 10years, the result of that your accumulation always depends on the amount you are consistently allocating to your investment...

Am really not against folks applying some level of flexibility to their investments( i.e reducing their investments amounts when they have low Discretionary income and then increasing it when their discretionary income increases), but then again, folks have to understand that any decision that they take pertaining their investment, it always has it own consequences... And so the consequences of applying too much flexibility and/or constantly changing or reducing your investment amount is that it could slow down your investment in such a way that it's growth won't match your expectations( what you intend to accumulate within the duration of your investment)...

And so I think that it is much more better if that investor just try and figure out a much more permanent solution to having and/or increasing the availability of their discretionary income... And they can very well achieve this by creating more consistent income sources, investing into skills that can bring in more money(Discretionary income), tracking where/what your income is spent on so as to cut down any unwanted expenses and whatnot... If this are properly implemented, am very sure that folks will have discretionary income handy so they can consistently and comfortably invest as aggressive as they can for a longer time frame of like 10years....
