This is the problem people have. They will not not want to buy when the price is low but later want to buy when the price is high. The safest coin to buy right now is bitcoin. If you buy it, it is better not to be checking your wallet balance in dollars. Just leave the coin and be expecting bitcoin to get to $100000. Because the price is falling, some people will panic and sell just like what happened yesterday. Do not do that. Do not sell if you buy even now.
I agree with you that people often buy Bitcoin when the price is high and panic sell when it drops. The better move is to buy when the price is low and stay calm, instead of checking your balance all the time.
Success in Bitcoin comes from holding, not reacting. Be patient, ignore short-term price changes, and think long term.

There's a bit truth in this comment but the bold part of your statement seems like you are trying to tell us that everyone does the same thing which of course is not true. There's no doubt, some people normally buy when the price is low and sell when it's high. Some investors even bought Bitcoin when it's high and they deliberately sell when the price start dropping, it's obvious that they don't plans on holding for long term so they get scared if the see the price drop below what the amount they bought. Some investors are scared to lose part of their money for a limited time, they dint understand that Bitcoin can't dip for a long period of time.

The reason why the bold part of your statement is wrong is because you think every investors makes the same mistakes by selling when the market starts to drop or if they just make a little profit (so you that part of your statement is wrong).
Some investors that knows what they are doing normally use DCA strategy to invest in Bitcoin, and it's obvious that those investors that uses DCA strategy don't care if the price of Bitcoin is dropping or it's increasing, all they care about is to be more consistent and hold to be more patient to invest for a long term. Well, from that bold comment it's already obvious that you do not know that investors that has a long term mentality are not emotional like the short term investors, so they don't care if the price is going down or up, all they care is to buy and accumulate for long term.

Wrong mate.
It looks like you are not following up, well it's obvious because you just took us back to 2024 (from the comment you quote).
This comment is not different from dip hunting, and dip hunting is not always profitable because no one knows the perfect time for a dip. It's better to use DCA method to start buying Bitcoin because you won't have to check your portfolio all the time, what's needed is a little amount of money from your discretionary income (leftover money) then you can start buying Bitcoin.
As someone who's interested to start investing into Bitcoin, you should consider buying with low amount of money from your discretionary income. However, if as a beginner you want to wait for the dip but unfortunately it didn't go as planned, did you know know that you might be frustrated emotionally? The reason why is because let's say for instance you and someone planned on buying Bitcoin and you chose to wait for the dip and the other person get started right away but unfortunately for you Bitcoin didn't dip, you will miss good opportunities to buy Bitcoin while the other person have gotten a lot of figures on his portfolio. So I guess this explains it.

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.
Nothing like you have the knowledge of BTC before investing what you can afford to lose in the future, because nothing will make you to invest without you visit the market to know the price on ground. There are some people who don't like this DCA method base on their salary earning and their family members, because they know what they are spending a day or weekly but they can prefer to hodl in a short period of time before they can sell to earn l massive profits.

I keep saying it, when you are financially buoyant you can make DCA method your choice, because it will not going to affect since you know what you are expecting from the long time hodling. I have heard many people testimonies the big amount of money they made from this DCA method, because they made up their mind to hodl BTC for long years before they can sell, which is the testimony some hodlers are sharing for other hodlers to learn.

The DCA strategy is simply a good strategy when accumulating Bitcoin it's even more good to low income earners because they can accumulate Bitcoin with DCA strategy with as low as $10. Saying that one have to be financially buoyant before they can use the DCA strategy shows that you are not following up which could also mislead others who are not rich or financially buoyant to invest in Bitcoin.

And again investing in Bitcoin too doesn't mean that you must be financially buoyant before you can start accumulating Bitcoin. Why most people who don't have much money is investing in Bitcoin is because of this DCA strategy because it's suitable to use and with the DCA strategy you can be accumulating Bitcoin gradually weekly or monthly via when your discretionary income is available and hodl for long.

Buying bitcoin when the price is low is not a better move that's a wrong way of buying bitcoin, a new investor your focus shouldn't be on the dip but buying bitcoin steadily using the DCA strategy should be that better move because with this way you will regularly be buying bitcoin including when the price goes low, you can buy more during the dip since you will be buying at a low price and hodl for long but waiting for the price to low first is a wrong move because you don't even know when the price will go low and if you keep waiting to dip you can't stack up a good numbers of bitcoin.

If you're a Bitcoin investor you shouldn't buy because the price is high or low your focus should be to accumulate and hold for a very long term like up to 10 years and more. This is why we recommend DCA strategy of accumulation to every newbie that wants to learn about the best strategy of accumulation, DCA keeps you focused on your long term plan instead of monitoring the market to know the best time to enter. If you're waiting for when the price will drop before you buy it means that you want to buy the dip, the chalange with this strategy is that you don't control the market and therefore won't know the moment your preferred price will happen.

While waiting for dip Bitcoin value could skyrocket and you will either keep waiting or buy at a higher price, worse is you might spend the funds on something less important. Buy Bitcoin when you have discretionary funds, no need to wait for a perfect entry because no matter how much you buy it today it has the potentials to reach $1,000,000 after many years.

You have mixed everything up. And you have presented DCA as if it is for the financially well-off. And I also doubt whether you understand the meaning of DCA because you have presented the DCA method as a way to make money. I am actually reluctant to accept these. Although everyone has to look after their own personal matters here.

I thought the opposite of you, am I wrong? I actually know that the main point of DCA is not to get rich, but rather that people with low incomes can start their discretionary income and continue it regularly without any pressure. But I am not saying that rich people cannot follow DCA, rather DCA can be quite suitable for anyone in the beginning.

Let me tell you another thing, holding it for a short time and selling it with huge profits is not really the language of investment. We can call this trading. Because if we think about profit from buying and selling at the beginning, then it will be like thinking about exit before building a stash.

For beginners, DCA method of regular investment is a much more comfortable method. However, buying at a low price is not a wrong method. The problem starts when someone invests a huge amount based on the decline. And the price decreases further and causes financial losses. Therefore, estimating the dip correctly is a risky task. Along with regular investment, buying at the decline can increase the investment speed, but investing with risk management and unnecessary money reduces the possibility of panic selling. Along with continuous investment, buying at the decline can increase the accumulation of an investor. However, if attention is paid to excessive decline, there may be a possibility of loss due to entry at the wrong time.

There are some people who don't like this DCA method base on their salary earning and their family members, because they know what they are spending a day or weekly but they can prefer to hodl in a short period of time before they can sell to earn l massive profits.

It's wrong to invest in a short term because that's not investing but trading. What if profit isn't made but losses before the person financial needs pops up, he will sell those bitcoin to take care of his needs at loss.

If you want to wait to be financially buoyant before you can invest in bitcoin, it means that you might end up not investing at all because you don't know when you will become financially buoyant. What you need is only your regular discretionary income to enable you to be consistent with your DCA no matter how little it's is even as low as $10.

This is how some people will deprive themselves from investing in bitcoin when they can because they feel that they need to be financially buoyant before they are qualified to invest in bitcoin with is not true. It's your bitcoin investment that you have built to a good size that will give you financial buoyancy in future.

I also agree with you. Actually, trying to buy bitcoin on dip means shifting the mentality from investment to trading. Those who invest with a long time mentality do not wait to buy on dip. Because they start investing knowing that the price of bitcoin will be low or high many times in the future for 4 years or more during the investment activities. Buying on dip is not so important for them. Because after investing for a long time, bitcoin is in a profitable position for a while. That is why the DCA method is more suitable for all types of people. It is not right that taking more risk in bitcoin will result in more profit. Taking more risk is more likely to result in loss. And the best way to reduce risk is to invest according to the DCA method and conduct investment activities regularly keeping the mentality of investing for a long time.

Instead of attempting to predict market timing, I agree with your belief in DCA.  I agree that waiting for the proper moment and then buying at a surprise price may end in overthinking or being terrified of buying at the top, so instead, help you earn a steady amount of Bitcoin without worrying about every price shift. And, while I appreciate that it is in the best interests of huge corporate buyers to wait for market decreases before purchasing millions of dollars at the same time without affecting prices, in the view of the average person, consistent buying is a far more effective manner of developing long-term wealth.

Don't complicate things for yourself, I think it is wrong to frame buying the dip as automatically shifting from investing to trading. It is also a type of accumulation strategy that can be adopted by investors and doesn't make them traders. It's actually possible for an investor to buy the dip and still hold for a long term. The difference between investing and Trading is the time frame you intend for your investment to last and not when you decide to buy so buying the dip doesn't make a person a trader.

I agree with you that people often buy Bitcoin when the price is high and panic sell when it drops. The better move is to buy when the price is low and stay calm, instead of checking your balance all the time.
Success in Bitcoin comes from holding, not reacting. Be patient, ignore short-term price changes, and think long term.
The better move is to buy using DCA where the price doesn't matter and reducing the impact of volatility. Waiting out for price to drop is a waste of time and might lead you to miss out on opportunities. Buy Using DCA and long for a long period of time like 5-10 years period.

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.
Buy small amounts on a weekly or monthly basis, and maintain this process consistently for a long time, after a period of time like 8 or 10 years your small investment steps will become much bigger. Investing in small amounts may seem insignificant at times but over a long period of time this consistency makes a big portfolio, and it can create amounts that we never expected. So make your mindset to keep it consistent, drive the process within your means without excessive pressure according to your financial capacity. It is very important to stay within your means to maintain it sustainably in the long term.

Those who sell when the price is low are traders and short time gamblers who believe they know the market and when it's not going as their plan they panic and sell in lost.
Buying bitcoin when the price is low is not a better move that's a wrong way of buying bitcoin, a new investor your focus shouldn't be on the dip but buying bitcoin steadily using the DCA strategy should be that better move because with this way you will regularly be buying bitcoin including when the price goes low, you can buy more during the dip since you will be buying at a low price and hodl for long but waiting for the price to low first is a wrong move because you don't even know when the price will go low and if you keep waiting to dip you can't stack up a good numbers of bitcoin.

Purchasing the dip isn't always about switching to trading mentality, some long term investors still look dips as opportunity to improve their average entry not as short term mindset and on risk, higher risk doesn't automatically means Loss it usually means higher volatility and big outcomes The key is whether that risk is managed properly and aligned with anybody.DCA remove emotion from the process and work well for individuals who want steady exposure without trying to time market but lump sum investment when some persons has the capacity.

Dip buying is not that of a problem because even those that are doing dca still buy and accumulate when the market is down, because they buy at every price interval. The only problem about it is the mindset of the investor and how he goes about it, because waiting for it, or the market to drop before buying is what I think is wrong, since no one can perfectly predicted the price of Bitcoin in the next days or months, so it's going to delay your accumulation if you focus on the dip that may not come.

As for managing your risk, their is no better way of doing that by investing what you can afford to lose, that way even though your investment didn't go as you planned it, it would not cost you too much, so that is the best way to manage your risk.

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..

any investor who does not instill in themselves the culture of consistency will hardly become successful in their investment career unless they decide to change their ways and mindset. Some people think it is just all about saving money and sending it to your crypto as an investment but it actually goes beyond such. It extends to the point where you have to be very deliberate and disciplined about your investment choices and at what point you should reduce or increase your investment funds. That’s due to how good or bad the market hits, it is also better for you to be very strategic and prepared and flexible enough to adapt to change.

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
you are right. Anyone who is investing in bitcoin and is only interested in the profit targets and not the accumulation target might just be doing what they think is right in the wrong way. It is only right for someone to think of making profits when they are accumulating their bitcoin holdings but in practical having that mindset of making profits as your target and not being more concerned with how you consistently accumulate may end up leading you to exiting your trades when you are not supposed to do so because this also means you will be panicking at any point the prices of bitcoin plummet and you won’t be able to build a thick skin to resist both short term and long term market volatility and fluctuations. That’s what actually even distinguishes you from a trader. A trader pays more attention to short term profit targets while an investor pays more attention to long term accumulation targets

I also agree with you. Actually, trying to buy bitcoin on dip means shifting the mentality from investment to trading. Those who invest with a long time mentality do not wait to buy on dip Because they start investing knowing that the price of bitcoin will be low or high many times in the future for 4 years or more during the investment activities. Buying on dip is not so important for them. Because after investing for a long time, bitcoin is in a profitable position for a while. That is why the DCA method is more suitable for all types of people. It is not right that taking more risk in bitcoin will result in more profit. Taking more risk is more likely to result in loss. And the best way to reduce risk is to invest according to the DCA method and conduct investment activities regularly keeping the mentality of investing for a long time.
Don't complicate things for yourself, I think it is wrong to frame buying the dip as automatically shifting from investing to trading. It is also a type of accumulation strategy that can be adopted by investors and doesn't make them traders. It's actually possible for an investor to buy the dip and still hold for a long term. The difference between investing and Trading is the time frame you intend for your investment to last and not when you decide to buy so buying the dip doesn't make a person a trader.
I am not saying that buying at a dip turns someone from an investor into a trader. I am saying that if someone follows the process of buying at a dip, then their mentality starts shifting from investor to trader. And this shift often happens very quietly. In the beginning, people say they are investors. Later, they say they will buy at a lower price. Then they reduce their regular buy. Then the whole process shifts from regular accumulation to timing. That is when the trading mentality starts. If someone reduces their DCA amount to buy at a dip, it definitely means that it is affecting their regular buying. From here, the mentality shifting starts.

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

[edited out]
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.

You may be correct.

There are some guys who are quite anxious to transition into selling their bitcoin.. and there are other guys who want to make sure that they have a sufficient level above overaccumulation so that they do not end up making any mistakes in regards to selling too much bitcoin too soon... or potentially to knock themselves outside of overaccumulation status.

So take the guy with a $30k per year income who might have had been accumulating bitcoin fairly aggressively for the past 10 years (since April of 2016) at $100 per week, and so over the past 10 years he invested right around $52k and he had accumulated right around 12 BTC.  He surely has enough to quit his job and to even support himself at right around $70k per year.... yet he is nervous about whether he has enough bitcoin to totally complete his job and he may or may not need to continue to accumulate bitcoin.. since even if he does not accumulate any more bitcoin, if he also does not withdraw from his stack, with the passage of time, his stack will continue to provide a higher and higher withdrawal rate possibilities and at some point he might be willing to get started to withdraw from his stash and that he may well not need to continue to stack more bitcoin.

If a similar income level guy had ONLY been stacking at $100 per week for slightly more than 6 years, and he had invested $33k, yet he had ONLY accumulated right around 1.2 BTC, then there is a BIG difference between the two guys with ONLY a 4 year difference in their stacking time.. so sometimes guys might have dilemmas, and other times, they might not have yet accumulated enough coins to really justify transitioning from accumulation into maintenance.. and maybe at some later point might start to feel able to start to withdraw from their bitcoin stash at a rate they consider to be reasonable and sustainable..

So it is difficult to know if a guy is continuing to stack because he does not know what else to do, or if he might be continuing to stack because his calculations are not establishing enough of a overaccumulation cushion to help him to feel sufficiently comfortable in changing his bitcoin accumulation practices.  In the end, I think that the stack size and some kind of a reasonable valuation should be able to help guys to figure out if they have accumulated enough bitcoin (or more than enough).

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 agree with you that people often buy Bitcoin when the price is high and panic sell when it drops. The better move is to buy when the price is low and stay calm, instead of checking your balance all the time.
Success in Bitcoin comes from holding, not reacting. Be patient, ignore short-term price changes, and think long term.
I think what needs to be considered here is the purpose of the person being in bitcoin.
When they want to invest, their steps were wrong from the start because what they did was trading so they would not get anything and that happened because of their wrong decision from the start.

Those of us who intend to invest especially for the long term will not sell the assets we have bought because we realize that the decline that occurs is only temporary. So there will be no decision to sell bitcoin especially when its value depreciates.
It should be realized that from the beginning when we started deciding to invest in the long term the decline will always be considered as a natural thing because of its volatility like that especially we always realize that this temporary decline condition is always a reference for bitcoin to get an increase again in the future.

You lots are saying the same thing. Purchasing dip will be making people to wait so that they will be timing the moment to buy isn't that how trader act. The key to solve that is for new investors to quit trying to time the point of entry and just be ongoingly buying with DCa. There is no how you want to sugarcoat it, the end result of new investors who wait for the dip is that they will not always be able to ongoing increase their stack size.
