With the highlighted statement above, am really interested to know when is the wrong time to invest in bitcoin, because what I have come to understand about Bitcoin is that, their is no wrong time to buy, as long as you are doing it from your discretionary income or a money you can afford to lose, then you will be fine.

Why their is no wrong time to buy Bitcoin is that this current price might seems very expensive now, but in few years to come, this price my looks like a steal because it might has risen to times three or times five of it current price, so their is no wrong time to buy Bitcoin as you are saying.
No need to over-complicate things! there’s no perfect time to buy bitcoin. As long as your goal is long term ,what should matter to you is consistency and not trying to time the market because by now it’s already obvious that nobody can consistently find a 100% best time to enter the market
Just start with money you can afford to lock away for long which is your discretionary income and adopt a simple strategy that fits your lifestyle and budget so you can be able to not just only enter into the market but also be able to stay in it without stress. Newbies should take this opinion more seriously because they are actually the ones that need it more .

Yeah that is actually real tbh… most people overthink the perfect entry till they miss the whole move..

Consistency beats everything in this game..  Even if you do not catch the exact bottom, as long as you keep buying smart with what you can afford, you will still be in a good position long term..
Timing the market always sounds nice… but in reality, it humbles people quick a lot..

Having target before you go into crypto is a very wise decision. Because it will help you to avoid fear and greed. Once your profit has reached your target, you  can sell it,  you don’t need to wait thinking that it might still go higher. Just as you said, selling your crypto because you bought it before the new year, might not work for everyone.
You seem to be defining your target wrongly, as a real investor the target you should set for yourself in bitcoin is accumulation target and that is the quantity of bitcoin you are prepared to possess on or before the termination of your holding period, if you have a profit target instead, then it means you can exit the market in a short-term if there is a surge in price of bitcoin within a short while and this is pure trading, bitcoin should be for the long-term and you should focus on your accumulation target instead and strive to reach and/or surpass it

Quote
If you’re already making good profit, it’s not bad to secure your gain. But never you rush to sell because of season.
It is not a good practice to take short-term profits in your investment, it is trading rather than investing, real investors should remain in bitcoin for the long-term, you shouldn't be deceived by short term gains but focus on the wealth you can build in bitcoin in the long-run, trading bitcoin rather than investing into it might see you selling off too much BTC too soon and end up regretting it on the long-run if bitcoin continues performing well and you may end up with fewer coins or even worse a no coiner.

Instead of short-term gratification in bitcoin, go long-term in it since bitcoin a good option to build wealth and attempt securing your financial future, so it is better you start thinking futuristically in bitcoin by investing consistently in it rather than being overly profit minded and trading it.

In my way to be investor in bitcoin you must patience waiting the dip price

That's not true, although you're right when you said that investor must be patient but saying that an investor need to wait for the dip is wrong because you really can't tell when dip will happen so waiting for dip to happen as a beginner before getting started with your bitcoin investment means that you're not serous about your bitcoin investment even though some might feel that they are doing the right thing but it's wrong because if we use those time to accumulate bitcoin I'm sure we would accumulate a significant amount of bitcoin but most people don't show regard to this aspect that is why they are ok with this method of buying the dip.

You can be waiting for the dip and still be accumulating through DCA. Waiting for the dip is not actually the problem here, the problem is waiting for the dip while doing nothing. Most folks keep using DCA to buy consistently while preserving their reserve fund for aggressive buying when the dip comes.

Waiting for the dip shouldn't be the main strategy to accumulate Bitcoin. That's where people get it wrong. It should be a backup strategy because in case the dips never come, you wont feel left out in a strong position.

Those who can afford it will invest in Bitcoin. Those who will not face any problem if they lose some money. But it is true that investing in Bitcoin does not require much money. You can start investing with a small capital and it has to be invested through DCA. We do not get immediate results by investing in Bitcoin, so we have to wait for at least 5-10 years. Then we can be profitable in BTC.
Yes you're not wrong about what you ve said, what we can afford to invest in bitcoin doesn't matter rather what is important is is what we are using to invest. Folks especially traders thinks that when they invest in bitcoin it will generates huge amounts of profits overnight. This is where folks gets it wrong because bitcoin isn't a get rich scheme. Bitcoin is a long term investment you can't invest in bitcoin for the short term and expects significant profits in a few months.

Some people target to hit that get rich quick scheme on Bitcoin, because this is what they think going to happen if they trade their Bitcoins. Market unpredictability provably kill their hopes and basically they realize that those situation on mind they hope is not easy as what they think, especially when they taste a huge defeat on their trades.

The value or potential earnings from Bitcoin comes with their long term investment and their patience. Those short term price swings they are looking at is not sustainable and there are more possibilities that they can earn great rewards if they choose to be consistent on accumulating then plan to go for long term on Bitcoin.


Long-term growth still remains the best option as an investor to go into using your dca without any Panic for the price of bitcoin, it also gives you the opportunity to build up your investment gradually without any stress with what your discretionary income,makes you have a good financial plan without pressure towards your investment.

Buying Bitcoin makes sense if you think long term and invest what you can afford. You don’t need big money, small steady buying with Dollar-cost averaging works well. Bitcoin is not a get rich quick plan, it needs patience over years. Real gains come from holding, not expecting fast profits.

Selling too early or chasing quick trades can lead to losses.The market is unpredictable and short term moves can mislead you.
Many people lose because they expect overnight success.Better to stay consistent, avoid panic, and focus on long term growth.

You can't hurry up to be investor in bitcoin exactly with the global moment not stable yet easily for bitcoin raise dip or lower price. In my way to be investor in bitcoin you must patience waiting the dip price and not following the other exactly bitcoin have been on higher price to buy, indeed you use DCA way for investing in bitcoin actually not really good ideas.
Buy and invest in bitcoin on the right moment, I think not problem investing in bitcoin without following DCA way and patience waiting the DIP price to invest because has bigger chance then get faster moment to earn profit.
You're just waiting and lagging behind on purchases and then regretting why you didn't buy in the first place Cheesy
Even now there seems to be some who are starting to regret the mistake of waiting too long when they have money that can be bought for bitcoin. Previously bitcoin had reached $60k as the biggest drop after the previous ATH and it was even a discount of more than 50 percent but there are still those who say wait I think it's outrageous and now bitcoin is starting to be at $75k and we still say wait?

Buy when the time is right? For me, the time now is right why should we wait longer just because with the conditions of the decline that has occurred now there is no reason to say now is not the right time.

You said that you have to be patient and wait for the decline but now the price has dropped dan you still think it's not the right time? Doesn't that seem strange?

Buy and invest in bitcoin on the right moment, I think not problem investing in bitcoin without following DCA way and patience waiting the DIP price to invest because has bigger chance then get faster moment to earn profit.
There are a few things that I might correct from your statement.
Firstly, if you wait for the global situation to stabilize you may never be able to invest because believe it or not, the turmoil will continue forever.
Second, talking about patiently waiting, I did that a few years ago and what I felt was regret because I already had funds ready to spend but because I waited too much and thought that the decline would continue, I was left behind in the previous 2 halvings which gave me regret now even though I made a lesson and was more able to take a stance that I thought was better by buying without having to wait as I had done before at the beginning of my introduction to bitcoin.
third buy and invest bitcoin at the right time then it is clear now and what should we wait for? cheap price?
Now we have gotten a price that is much cheaper than the price a few months earlier when bitcoin felt ATH several times. the decline is clear now that we are in decline then what do we expect again apart from those of us who only have to buy because this is a very appropriate time for us to buy when we have money that we can spend on bitcoin.

Bitcoin also has risks, it is very natural to have them and this is why people are so interested in investing in Bitcoin. However, if we just say that people enjoy investing in Bitcoin because of the risk, it is not right. The main reason is that the profits that can be obtained from investing in the long term from here are not available anywhere else and cannot be imagined.
It's true that Bitcoin investment has it own risk attached to it, but that risk can be easily mitigated when held for a very long period of time, unlike most investment that the risk factor is just too high and difficult to ignore.
Another thing that is very important while investing in Bitcoin is for you to do it with your discretionary income, since it's a money you can do away with in a very long period of time, and why it's very much important to invest only from your discretionary income is that you wouldn't be in a mood of panicking even when their is a serious dip in the market, unlike when you invest an amount you cannot afford to lose.
 So it's very important that we invest only from our discretionary income, so that our mental and emotional health will be intact when the dip comes, and we wouldn't have to react to what the market is doing because it's a money we can do away with.

Keeping mental health and emotions under control during a price drop is an important issue, but a long-term investor does not seem to be too scared of a price drop. Because long-term investment and investment continuity will average out our purchase price and bring good profits. And an investor must make sure that part of his income is separate from all his expenses.

Yes, I do agree that we should control our emotions during price drop, but it's not as easy as it sounds. Even those who says that they are a long term investors, I think there will be time that they might feel pressures too to sell. But what is important is that we have the discipline, because without it our long term strategy will fail.

And as what we have discussed before, we should have our discretionary funds always be ready to buy in the dips. So after paying all the bills and you still have some extra money, then I will suggest that we should put it into Bitcoin, and never invest money that you can't afford to lose,  because that's what make someone panic sells. So it should be two-fold, our mindset and at the same time strategy. We can be prepared and condition to handle volatility if the money that we invest came from our discretionary funds.

And an investor must make sure that part of his income is separate from all his expenses.

Why would a long term investor be thinking about "profits?"

You must be mixing up investing with trading.

An investor may well have a timeline of 4-10 years or longer and surely, if he does not have age or health concerns that might limit his investment timeline, then it would likely be prudent for an investor to be considering 10 years or longer for his bitcoin investment, so it might take one or two cycles just to accumulate enough bitcoin to potentially be able to consider selling some bitcoin (like shaving it off) at some point later down the road, yet I cannot see how an investor would be thinking about buying and selling both at the same time, since there likely is going to be a period of buying (aka accumulating bitcoin) and then maybe there is a period of just holding and/or maintaining before the selling might start to kick in at some later date, providing that enough or more than enough bitcoin were accumulated in the accumulating and/or maintaining phases of the investor's bitcoin journey.

If you are talking about investing as you seem to claim to be doing, then I don't see why you are fucking around waiting for dips that may or may not end up happening.  Doesn't make sense to me, unless maybe you have $100 every week that is available for bitcoin buys, and then maybe you buy $80 every week and you hold $20 for dips that may or may not happen.

If you are holding back portions that are larger than 20%, then you seem like a lost puppy to me and not very serious about making sure that you are ongoingly accumulating bitcoin rather than psychologically defeating yourself by engaging in waiting rather than buying practices.

But, hey, whatever.  You do you.

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

I support your belief about DCA instead of trying to guess market timing.  I agree that waiting until you find right moment, and then buying surprising price, may result in thinking too much or scared buying at top, so instead, help you get steady amount of Bitcoin without worry of watching every price move. And though I understand that it is in interest of large company buyers to wait until markets have certain drops before they buy millions of dollars at same time without moving price, in eyes of normal person, a steady buying is much more winning way of building long term wealth.

Surely investment is very much impossible when folks keep waiting instead of steadily making their buys through DCA....Infact, this whole idea of waiting is just so unwise and counterproductive and that's coz we never know when it will dip, and even if it does, we still don't know the exact price bottom, and for someone who only focuses on waiting for dip, that person is not serious about building up his Bitcoin portfolio...For the large companies who wait those guys already have a robust portfolio (over-accumulation) and only buy the dip to add to it, and such shouldn't be the case of someone who is still in the process of accumulation...

Bitcoin also has risks, it is very natural to have them and this is why people are so interested in investing in Bitcoin. However, if we just say that people enjoy investing in Bitcoin because of the risk, it is not right. The main reason is that the profits that can be obtained from investing in the long term from here are not available anywhere else and cannot be imagined.
It's true that Bitcoin investment has it own risk attached to it, but that risk can be easily mitigated when held for a very long period of time, unlike most investment that the risk factor is just too high and difficult to ignore.
Another thing that is very important while investing in Bitcoin is for you to do it with your discretionary income, since it's a money you can do away with in a very long period of time, and why it's very much important to invest only from your discretionary income is that you wouldn't be in a mood of panicking even when their is a serious dip in the market, unlike when you invest an amount you cannot afford to lose.
 So it's very important that we invest only from our discretionary income, so that our mental and emotional health will be intact when the dip comes, and we wouldn't have to react to what the market is doing because it's a money we can do away with.
Keeping mental health and emotions under control during a price drop is an important issue, but a long-term investor does not seem to be too scared of a price drop. Because long-term investment and investment continuity will average out our purchase price and bring good profits. And an investor must make sure that part of his income is separate from all his expenses.

Why would a long term investor be thinking about "profits?"

You must be mixing up investing with trading.

An investor may well have a timeline of 4-10 years or longer and surely, if he does not have age or health concerns that might limit his investment timeline, then it would likely be prudent for an investor to be considering 10 years or longer for his bitcoin investment, so it might take one or two cycles just to accumulate enough bitcoin to potentially be able to consider selling some bitcoin (like shaving it off) at some point later down the road, yet I cannot see how an investor would be thinking about buying and selling both at the same time, since there likely is going to be a period of buying (aka accumulating bitcoin) and then maybe there is a period of just holding and/or maintaining before the selling might start to kick in at some later date, providing that enough or more than enough bitcoin were accumulated in the accumulating and/or maintaining phases of the investor's bitcoin journey.

Buying Bitcoin makes more sense than trying to time when to sell. The real edge in Bitcoin is not quick profit, it is time. People who treat it like a long-term asset and keep buying small amounts over years usually come out stronger because price swings balance out. The biggest mistake is panic selling during dips. If the money invested is not needed for daily life, those dips stop looking like losses and start looking like opportunities to accumulate more at better prices.

Selling too early often means missing the real growth. Bitcoin has moved in cycles, and those who stay patient across multiple years tend to benefit the most. It is not about chasing profit every day like trading, it is about building a position slowly and letting time do the heavy work. The smart approach is simple: invest only what you can afford to leave untouched, stay consistent, ignore short-term noise, and think in years not months.

Yeah. Some folks really find it hard to understand this particular point. It’s not as if it’s completely wrong for an investor, especially the long term investors to think about profits, definitely almost everyone invests because they wanna make some profits someday, but thinking about profit shouldn’t be in the short term or in a kind of reactive sense, because it’s mostly traders who think about profits this way. But no matter how long term we think, it’s impossible to completely remove profit from the equation, because it’ll only look like you’re simply accumulating an asset without an actual exit logic.

But where some investors miss it is the timing, they fail to realize that in the early phase of their investment, the main focus should be on nothing more but accumulation and balancing their financial position. When investors at that particular phase begin to time their buys and sells at the same time, it’ll definitely lead to underperformance or even getting shaken out. So yeah, a lot of investors who are serious mostly end up spending years just focusing on on accumulation and strengthening their positions, often through multiple cycles.

Although in some cases, even in the accumulation phase, even a disciplined can still think about profits, but not just acting on it, or allow such influence any decision to make concerning their investment at that particular phase they are because they really understand the times and the seasons of the investment. They end up asking themselves at what point or level of financial security should they reach first before they’ll be due to start selling, end several other questions, and this is normal, because sometimes it kinda shapes the investor’s behavior later on.
Because without the thought of selling, people may likely not sell even if they’ve actually reached a state of overaccumulation, as they still keep on accumulating even if they’ve already passed the accumulation stage.

There's nothing to be weary of if an investor used their discretionary income to accumulate or purchase Bitcoin and have the long term mindset but if they don't use their discretionary and don't have the long term mindset they will definitely panic and sell premature when the Dip comes. What do you mean by an investor must make sure that part of his income is separate from all his expense? Please don't confuse yourself, someone's income is been used to handle needs and wants (expenses) the leftovers are the ones fo be use for our Bitcoin investment (discretionary income)

If you are talking about investing as you seem to claim to be doing, then I don't see why you are fucking around waiting for dips that may or may not end up happening.  Doesn't make sense to me, unless maybe you have $100 every week that is available for bitcoin buys, and then maybe you buy $80 every week and you hold $20 for dips that may or may not happen.

If you are holding back portions that are larger than 20%, then you seem like a lost puppy to me and not very serious about making sure that you are ongoingly accumulating bitcoin rather than psychologically defeating yourself by engaging in waiting rather than buying practices.

But, hey, whatever.  You do you.
I support your belief about DCA instead of trying to guess market timing.  I agree that waiting until you find right moment, and then buying surprising price, may result in thinking too much or scared buying at top, so instead, help you get steady amount of Bitcoin without worry of watching every price move. And though I understand that it is in interest of large company buyers to wait until markets have certain drops before they buy millions of dollars at same time without moving price, in eyes of normal person, a steady buying is much more winning way of building long term wealth.
Surely investment is very much impossible when folks keep waiting instead of steadily making their buys through DCA....Infact, this whole idea of waiting is just so unwise and counterproductive and that's coz we never know when it will dip, and even if it does, we still don't know the exact price bottom, and for someone who only focuses on waiting for dip, that person is not serious about building up his Bitcoin portfolio...For the large companies who wait those guys already have a robust portfolio (over-accumulation) and only buy the dip to add to it, and such shouldn't be the case of someone who is still in the process of accumulation...
Investors who are still at their accumulation process that hasn't gotten to their over accumulation shouldn't have any thing to do with waiting for dip because they want to build a good bitcoin portfolio, they should regularly be buying with the dca strategy so they could accumulate a good number of bitcoin, waiting when you are supposed to buying will only have you with little bitcoin in their portfolio, waiting for dip should be done by old investors who has been buying bitcoin for long and has reach their over accumulation can conclude to be buying bitcoin to add up to the one in their portfolio but as a new bitcoin investors you need to be consistently and persistently be buying bitcoin and hodl.

This one shows that sometimes if we talk about investment its not all about money, but rather on how we improve ourselves. Using some part of our stash to train ourselves to learn more can possibly give us more potential returns.

Also base on experience Bitcoin either its adoption rate or value grows over the time. So trying to learn more about this can potentially increase their potential earnings. Bitcoin may build our wealth in future. While trying to enhance our skills can possibly give us lots of opportunities.


What do mean investment is not all about money, you can’t invest without having money, that what it is said to use part of you income to invest with. I get what you trying to but you said it in a wrong way. Bitcoin investment teaches more that just the money aspect, it teaches you to be more patient in everything you do, it teaches you about consistency and needing to save for your future.


There is no need to spend money to learn how to invest in Bitcoin. If someone only wants to invest in Bitcoin, then what he needs is discretionary income. When a person is on discretionary income, he can invest some of his discretionary income in Bitcoin, in which case he can invest DCA for that investment. When a person does not have any money allocated for a one-time investment, he can continue DCA from his discretionary income for weeks and months.
Since to make the possibility of profit 100%, Bitcoin investment has to be made long-term, since it has to be ensured that the investment is actually long-term. Also, in this current inflationary era, people are looking for an investment medium to safeguard their wealth where it is possible to earn a good amount of profit along with the protection of wealth, in which case Bitcoin is now the first choice of people.
There is every need to spend money when investing in bitcoin, Rather you don’t need to have much knowledge before investing in Bitcoin, with the little knowledge you have you can start investing and learn as you invest. In everything you do you tend to be more focus when your money is involved.

He may have meant that a large portion of those who invest in Bitcoin still invest from the money they need to meet their needs, instead of investing from the extra money they have after meeting their needs. As a result, their personal lives are affected, and they cannot handle the fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin and sell it at the wrong time. Where they should have invested from what is left after meeting all their needs and those of their family.

Although there is no such condition in investing in Bitcoin that you have to be very rich. It is important to keep your financial situation stable to keep your investment active. Because it will be difficult for you to continue investing while facing emergencies with unstable or flexible income. So try to increase your skills and income over time, which will be useful for you later.

Definitely DCA is very solid approach especially for a new  beginners because it reduces the stress of trying to time the market , but saying they should have nothing to do with waiting for dips might be a bit too rigid even while  DCA paying attention to price levels and taking advantage of major pullback can help improve your overall position.

Discipline and consistency are more important than worrying too much about timing in Bitcoin investment, we need to maintain consistency in investment, and a long-term stable holding tendency. The biggest advantage of the DCA method is that it reduces the additional pressure of market fluctuations and helps to create a good position at an average price in the long term. But to get its full benefits, we must first ensure the continuity of investment. There is no specific time for investment, and you should not wait for a slightly lower price for investment, rather the most important thing is to invest regularly and not stop halfway. Those who cannot maintain consistency, they have not a high chance of success. But this is not a very complicated matter, if you understand it simply and take it simply, then it is very easy to maintain investment, but if you take it difficult on yourself, then it is very difficult for you.
There is no doubt that our attitude towards any matter has a significant impact on the success of the work. Therefore, we must first establish a strong mental position by making the investment long term and doing DCA regularly. The first formula for success in any work is to stick to it and maintain consistency. Small but continuous processes will lead to the door of success. Therefore, we must continue to invest in Bitcoin regularly every week or monthly.

It seems like you are not getting the point, that's why you feels like not waiting for the dip is  too rigid. Buying a dip while accumulating through the dca accumulating strategy is actually not a bad practice, and you might even seize the opportunity to buy aggressively during that period, since you can get a lot of Bitcoin at a more discount price, but what is wrong there is waiting for it before buying, that is what wrong, not by buying the dip, because waiting is going to delay your accumulation even more than you can imagine.
