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

To me I don’t think it’s too late to buy bitcoin, simply because bitcoin is not yet at it ath yet. So someone can still buy an affordable bitcoin as it is.
ATH meaning all time high is a characteristics of the highest price points Bitcoin has achieved which is around $109k and it has nothing to do with your purchasing power since you can buy a fraction of it and not a whole Bitcoin making it much affordable especially with the idea and concept of DCA strategy that's is being talked about either weekly or monthly within your discretionary income. That is to say Bitcoin is still affordable to buy even at any given ATH because you are not buying the a whole Bitcoin, Bitcoin has already made several ATH But yet people are still buying.
If we are new to bitcoin and we are planning to invest into bitcoin rather than trying to trade it, then it can take us a decently long time to build up our  bitcoin position, which also depends on the newbies financial situation and his personal factors

An overwhelming majority of normies are not necessarily in a position to lump sum into their bitcoin position or to front load it, and surely there can be some benefits in regards to front loading and/or lump  summing into bitcoin, yet even those strategies are probably not as good as someone who is also able to supplement his building of his BTC position with ongoing  buying, through 4-10 years or more, depending on his finances.
Even though we might have guys who would prefer to front their bitcoin however it seems to me that probably few or little to none of us here might be able to front our bitcoin portfolio, most of the guys here are more of DCA folks including me and probably you too JJG i guess.

We should not presume the financial status of any guys.

I talk about all three forms of accumulating bitcoin because each of them can be effective under certain circumstances, and a brand new person could either have money the is available (beyond his normal income stream) that he can put into bitcoin, and other times, guys can come across exrtra cash (like receiving an inheritance, getting a surprise work bonus, selling some kind of property, winning the lottery or some other way that he might get some extra money).  There are other guys who come to  bitcoin and they are not brand new to investing, so they may have other resources upon which they can draw in order to increase their bitcoin investment in a more rapid way than other people who had not already been investing. 

I will agree with your assumption that an overwhelming majority of people are not able to front load their  investment right away, yet they can still come upon cash that they can invest.

Another thing  that I have mentioned several times and in several posts, when I came to bitcoin in late 2013, I had already been investing in various kinds of assets for more than 20 years, and so I came to bitcoin  with abilities to front load my investment, yet I still customized my entrance into bitcoin to my own personal circumstances which was that I gave myself a 6 months budget and I divided it into 26 parts (for each of the 26 weeks), and right before the 6 months had expired, I extended my 6 month budget for another 6 months by giving myself a similarly sized budget, so over the first year that I was in bitcoin from late  2013 to late 2014, I front loaded my investing  using a DCA approach, but the amounts that I was investing was higher than my normal income because I was attempting to engage in a front loading of my investment.  At the end of 2014, I thought that I had pretty much accumulated enough BTC, since at that time, I had recalculated all of my matters  and I considered that I had put around 10% of my quasi-liquid investment  portfolio into bitcoin, so I largely figured that I had enough BTC, yet since the BTC prices stayed very low throughout 2015 (in the $200s most of the time), I continued to accumulate bitcoin during that 2015, and figured that I had gotten to a state of overaccumulation by 3.5%-ish , since my BTC portion of  my quasi-liquid  investment portfolio had gotten to 13.5 %-ish.

After the end of 2015, the  BTC price pretty much shot up and then ended up going  up largely around 78x between mid-2015 and late 2017 (going to $19,666)... and then of course in 2018 the BTC price corrected back down into the sub $10k territories and had a couple of periods of going below $6k and as low as $3,124, yet still going as low as $3,124 was still more than 12x higher than it had been for most of 2015.  So the way that a person accumulates bitcoin can surely end up affecting how he attempts to deal with his BTC holdings and how to manage his holdings.

Part of the reason that many of us talk so much about DCA is because there are so many folks (an overwhelming majority) who are not in the practice of saving, and they do not have lump sums available to them, yet it would be short-sighted to act as if everyone was  in the same boat, even though DCA still works for people who might be trying to front load their BTC investment as I  thought that I was mostly trying to do in 2014 with my own  investment into bitcoin.  So my frontloading of my investment into bitcoin still involved DCA, yet mostly compressed into two separate periods of 26 weeks, and I was not even really sure where I was going with my bitcoin investment, since I had already authorized myself the money, but I also made sure that I was trying to study and to learn more about bitcoin while I was investing into it.. and I was largely thinking that my investment into bitcoin would be at least 1-2 years, but I was also not sure, and I was also open to longer periods, but I was not really able to know how long i was thinking that I would stay in bitcoin. I had tentatively set some potential goals that were even further out, yet BTC's price moves and my learning about it ended up affecting the way that I thought about bitcoin and changed the way that I also talked about it.. including my own adjusted consideration that bitcoin's investment thesis was getting stronger  and stronger with the passage of time, whereby I started to recommend that newbies to bitcoin consider investing into bitcoin 4-10 years or longer.

personally i love idea of front loading as it surely will reduce the stress of buying every now and then but again the capacity to purchase a bigger fraction of bitcoin is even more difficult but when guys buy consistently with their discretionary income it leaves them with little or no stress and even achieve buying at a cheaper price when bitcoin dips even its vice versa.

There is nothing wrong with front loading your bitcoin investment when you have such an option, yet guys still might make various choices regarding the ways that they buy (whether DCA, Lump sum and/or buying on dips) even when they have the option to front load their bitcoin investment.

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

You are absolutely right. If investors have the option, there is nothing wrong with front loading, such as DCA or lump sum. Still, it is our choice to choose among the considerations we should make when buying Bitcoin. New investors may have different preferences and may be better off if they choose to be aggressive in their buying decisions/if they do DCA. The point of front loading is that if someone has a reasonable amount of backup funds (more than six months of emergency funds) then that person will be in a good position to invest their Bitcoin.

There's probably another way of looking at the situation if asked "if it's too late to buy Bitcoin". It's an accepted FACT that Bitcoin has not reached it's true potential. It's an accepted FACT that Bitcoin has not absorbed all potential participants in its market. My personal belief is that Bitcoin will never stop breaking its own all time hign of it still has not broken Gold's market value.

Impossible? I believe not. Improbable? Maybe. BUT nation-states have only started to notice. Large asset managers like BlockRock have also only started to notice. Shower thought.

Of course debt can eat away at your finances and your psychology, so I would not want to denigrate the situation that you find yourself in, and sure there can be a lot of extra challenges to reducing debts, and to invest into something like bitcoin at the same time. 

If you figure out and find bitcoin to be amongst the best places, if not the best place to put value, then you likely should want to continue to build your bitcoin position, even if you are simultaneously trying to service your debt.  Of course, I cannot tell you how to  do this, and you have to figure out your own balances, even though I also have mentioned that I consider it a bad idea to sell any of your bitcoin while you are still building it in order to attempt to  get it to a size that might put you at your own  personal fuck you level down the road within  some timeline that you might be able to use it to also finalize the paying off of your debt.. so yeah, there can be some tough decisions and/or trade-offs when we are burdened by what we consider to be oppressive and ongoing debt.

It has been a very long 15 years ++ for me, but I cannot deny it was made surprisingly better just because I DCA in BTC (as I said above, it already deleted a chunk of interest, and deleted about 5 years from my end date). It was another headache to be honest and when I first started honestly I was scared it wouldn't pay off, but it has already so I make my peace that I will always DCA up to a point, and then calculate how much it helps me in my position to pay off my debt.

I'm glad you understand, and we cannot advice anyone on debt, I'm always trying to balance... like you said, if I stick to BTC DCA and hodl forever, I can predict a very good future to pay off a lump sum, but I'm just feeling more freedom to be getting the debt payment down to a level that is not so scary as it was 10 years ago.

For sure, it is not easy to time bitcoin tops.. and many times guys end up selling too much too soon.. and if you come to the conclusion that you are better off to shave off some of your BTC,  then surely you are in a better position to figure out those balances, and you might never really be able to come up with a perfect strategy since you might already be engaging in various efforts to increase your income and to reduce your expenses, so that you can make sure that you are making big dents into your debt payments and perhaps building your bitcoin investment too..... .. but yeah, as I already mentioned, it seems that it can be quite challenging to both sell bitcoin and to buy bitcoin at the same time, yet if you figure out some way of balancing that, then you might still be able to make progress in meeting your various goals and perhaps to get your debt down to levels that are more bearable. 

By the way, there are some kinds of debt that are more oppressive than others, and if your interest rate on your debt it less than 8% per year, then it may well be better to prioritize investing into bitcoin rather than reducing the debt - yet sure the debt could have some other costs (perhaps?).. and so if the debt is higher levels then there may well be some value in prioritizing the reduction of the debt over buying bitcoin, yet it still seems problematic to me to be trying to play BTC price waves, even though you seem to have some ideas about how you are trying to play bitcoin's price waves that you perceive to be helping you, but you probably will have had noticed that your sales of your BTC might not have had been as good as just letting your BTC ride (rather than sell it) even if you had encountered some success in playing the 2017 price wave and even the 2021 price wave.. and your mentioning of being able to catch the ATH from last year seems a bit strange since the ATH from last year was not very much different from 2021, and surely anyone who sold some BTC last year should be regretting such sales since the price is more than 50% higher this year.

That's why I just stick to new ATH, sort of. It makes my job easy because DCA means every single time you kept BTC is lower than the new ATH, and on average you make a lot more, than if you saved 4 years on bank interest (I use a fund, it's slightly higher than bank interest but it also comes with risk of small loss as most of it is protected by deposit guarantee).

The thing about debt, especially business and personal loans. You can get a semi low interest annually, but if you missed a payment or became unable to pay like I did then they strip away everything, at a bad price. I won't go into details but I lost everything I had, and then they finalized the debt into 1 single amount with a long repayment scheme. But you first pay the interest, then the principal. And the longer you take to pay, the more the principal accrues interest. So shaving off the years helps a lot with compounding. In my case, because I made many mistakes in the past, and the system punishes you even more, what started out as manageable interest became heavy! I can say it is more than 10% per year if you take into account all the extra costs (like paying late, or paying the insurance for the debt).

Last year's near 100k wave was definitely not so good, but take into account the pre 40k buys from early 2024, I practically 2.5x that. Again, very difficult to predict and catch waves, and I could make it more efficient but this problem of repayment and debt servicing, forces me to try be conservative. And it worked out so far. The plan is to continue another 2 ATHs... by then I am very very hopeful to reach a repayment milestone that grants me back some freedoms. Such as getting a passport to travel, opening another bank account, getting a credit card.

Financial prison is so bad you just want to get out of it asap...

Thank you for all that. It made me think Smiley

Those who thought it's too late to buy bitcoin when it was over 50k can see how much Bitcoin has gained in less then a year.

Sometimes it's blessing in disguise that we forget things we have in our custody like Bitcoins. But Bitcoin and just forget them (without losing the keys)      


It's never late to start up anything, what is important is been able to start small and grow gradually as time goes on everything will fall in place so in this context buying Bitcoin is never late and I think it's better of to buy earlier and hodl and before you know it your coins have resulted in profits that you won't expect, just as you said over 40%profits that's awesome. Sometimes i take up this pattern usually when I want to save up some money, I put them in an account that I won't have access to it's password and other requirements and before I know it, have saved up so much.

Checkmating the way round, i agree to your FACT, Bitcoin is yet to reach its maximum size, Bitcoin is fifteen years inside the digital market compared to Gold which has been more decades and made huge numbers. I believe in Bitcoin so much, that the range of adoption isn't getting shrinked, each Bitcoin cycle happens with significant increase in the market value and new investors pumping into the system. Bitcoin is not fading anytime soon, no one should feel any tension to purchase their portions of Bitcoin, less than $100K in price when the targets in near cycles are based on $1M per Bitcoin.

I agree with you very much, and this is absolutely true with Bitcoin. There is no right time for Bitcoin investment, and it is never too late to invest in Bitcoin. An investor can buy Bitcoin at any time, and by buying regularly, his portfolio will definitely grow at some point.
Buying now is okay, if he holds it for a long time, he will definitely get a best result. But if he invests in Bitcoin for short-term investment, then there is always risk. So if an investor invests and holds it for a long time with the right thinking and using the right strategy, then he can achieve huge success at some point, (which he cannot even guess).

Again, very difficult to predict and catch waves, and I could make it more efficient but this problem of repayment and debt servicing, forces me to try be conservative. And it worked out so far. The plan is to continue another 2 ATHs... by then I am very very hopeful to reach a repayment milestone that grants me back some freedoms. Such as getting a passport to travel, opening another bank account, getting a credit card.

Financial prison is so bad you just want to get out of it asap...
Thank you for all that. It made me think Smiley

It sounds like you are mostly chipping away, and so it is good if you found something that you believe to be mostly working for you and your situation, especially since once earlier mistakes were made, then you are left to deal with such mistakes as best as you can under the circumstances, and hopefully find some ways of learning from the earlier mistakes.

Many of us have had mistakes in the past, yet surely you are describing a level of mistake that many people would NOT want to experience, sometimes there can be ways in which each of us can try  to learn from the mistakes of others - that may well lead cautions in terms of entering into certain loans and/or business relations, and/or cautions in terms of how we might deal with loans and/or business relations once we might already find ourselves in such a situation that we might consider to have potentials in going the wrong way on us.

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

My personal belief is that Bitcoin will never stop breaking its own all time hign of it still has not broken Gold's market value.

The market cap of gold is about 19 trillion while the market cap of Bitcoin is about 1.9 trillion which means the market cap of gold is 10x higher than that of bitcoin which is to show that bitcoin still has a long way to go, so i wonder why anyone will say that it's too late to buy bitcoin, so inasmuch as bitcoin has not yet surpassed the market cap of gold and has not been adopted globally and the supply of 21 million bitcoins has not been fully mined, it is never too late to buy bitcoin IMO.

There's probably another way of looking at the situation if asked "if it's too late to buy Bitcoin". It's an accepted FACT that Bitcoin has not reached it's true potential. It's an accepted FACT that Bitcoin has not absorbed all potential participants in its market. My personal belief is that Bitcoin will never stop breaking its own all time hign of it still has not broken Gold's market value.

Impossible? I believe not. Improbable? Maybe. BUT nation-states have only started to notice. Large asset managers like BlockRock have also only started to notice. Shower thought.

Checkmating the way round, i agree to your FACT, Bitcoin is yet to reach its maximum size, Bitcoin is fifteen years inside the digital market compared to Gold which has been more decades and made huge numbers.


Ser, it's centuries dating back to Ancient History. Gold played a VERY significant role in those early civilizations, therefore I believe Bitcoin will also play a very significant role in the modern,more TECHNOLOGICAL, civilization. Bitcoin is Star Trek Credits. Cool

Quote

I believe in Bitcoin so much, that the range of adoption isn't getting shrinked, each Bitcoin cycle happens with significant increase in the market value and new investors pumping into the system. Bitcoin is not fading anytime soon, no one should feel any tension to purchase their portions of Bitcoin, less than $100K in price when the targets in near cycles are based on $1M per Bitcoin.


I believe that other future developments/projects built on Bitcoin will make users not actually know that they're apps are using Bitcoin as a settlement layer.

  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For beginners and those who are unsure about the future of Bitcoin will have the same view with this opinion. Sadly, they don't know the history of Bitcoin and how it has developed, so they just talk about it, not researching it further. If they have strong intentions, I am sure they will take advantage of many ways by making investments making good use of all the trading features. So that they are able to profit from Bitcoin. He also had to understand the development of Bitcoin that major institutions had adopted. So it's only a matter of time now. I think Bitcoin will develop better. Currently, Bitcoin is only inferior to the official world recognition that Gold has obtained.

The beauty of Bitcoin  that we are enjoying today is as a result of the a global adoption , individuals are buying, cooperates bodies are also investing as well as institutions and countries,  they are all in the light of a global adoption, it is wrong to say that Bitcoin has not been adopted globally

Yes, adoption is key.
It's not about the cap of trillions, it's the result of many factors playing into it - the main of which would be everybody, big and small, realizing the potential of BTC and acting up on it.

You are correct bitcoin still have more potential to absorb. This word ''too late'' is really an enemy of progress even in our daily life because it bring so much fear to start afresh or try new thing as well as bringing limitation to our progress. so many people even me have lost so many opportunity thinking is too late to start afresh or try new thing at the end it turn out to be an opportunity lost. This is also the reason why so many people who could that have  large bitcoin portfolio today to  miss the opportunity because they though is too late to invest. So many people now are regretting looking at some years past when they had the opportunity to invest in bitcoin looking at the price of bitcoin now.

Bitcoin is not a stable asset but volatile and that's what is keeping investors and traders in the market. The volatile nature of bitcoin is why we are seeing the price where it is today. Assuming bitcoin price is stable, it's no longer going to bring in new investors to adopt it. Bitcoin has adopted globally, but the percentage of people into bitcoin is like 2% compared to the world population.

The price of BTC is not stable indeed, but it is the safest and stablest option among others.

Bitcoin’s volatility is at record lows, which has often signaled a major move coming, but the direction remains unclear. Some expect a breakout, others fear a fake-out. 

With uncertainty ahead, is now the right time to buy, or is the market setting a trap? Are we on the verge of a new rally or another brutal correction?

Just wait and see.
Sideways movement should go up afterward, hopefully, but without anything backing it up, we can go in many places.
And after all, MMs would profit the most from drowning the price a bit more.

Bitcoin is volatile, and it's normal. But it's never too late to invest in it. Hence, it's important you invest what you can afford to lose, then sorry.

I believe in buying it and forgetting it but safely keeping the keys. Because it helps you worry less and not put your expectations in high cost, which might affect your mental health too.

Withstanding how far Bitcoin has gone this passed years and still going, it shouldn't be something of doubt for a potential investor.

Those who saw $50 as high rate then to invest will definitely be living in regret by now seeing how far it has gone.

The truth about Bitcoin is it's will continue to be an asset and not a liability even in years to come but it has to be with all patience because it's a long term goal.

It's a simple plan that works like a charm.
And there is nothing that would prevail anybody from gaining something with BTC  Wink
