Anyone who is ready to make wealth he most be ready to take risk wisely. For me everything about life is risk but you must take risk according to what you can afford to loose. Without panicking I am not saying that bitcoin is a risk, investment but because it is a digital asset that you managed with no single control from government. That gives freedom of managing your investment.
Don’t get it twisted, Bitcoin is also a risky investment, that what it is always advisable to invest with your discretionary income. Bitcoin is a volatile asset and with such, it remains unpredictable. Over the years, history have proven that if you can hold bitcoin investment for a long period of time, then there is a tendency of getting a good return, but that doesn’t still guarantee that making profit in bitcoin investment is certain.
So yes, investing in Bitcoin is risky, so as a person you need to put yourself in the position of not being affected if there is a down run in bitcoin. So advisably invest with your discretionary income and also use the DCA strategy to make your investing much easier.
I agree with you. However, I think that when investing in Bitcoin, it is not only necessary to have extra money, but also to consider how long you can go without that money.
For example, a person can save $50 per month, but he does not have a separate fund for emergency needs. If he invests all his money in Bitcoin, he may suddenly face financial problems and be forced to sell Bitcoin at a low price. So, in my opinion, it is better to keep some money aside for daily expenses and emergency needs and buy Bitcoin regularly according to his ability. Again, if someone's income temporarily decreases, I do not see any problem in reducing the amount of investment or stopping it for a few days. Because regular investment should not be the only goal, but one should also have a financial situation to maintain one's investment for a long time. We do not control when the price of Bitcoin will increase or decrease, but at least we can decide how much risk to take according to our financial ability.
