It is true that trading is very risky but those who are trading Bitcoin know how valuable it is, it those not mean because they are trading Bitcoin they don’t know how valuable it is, in fact they know about the value more that is why they are trading it. There are people who are making huge profit from bitcoin trading and some of those bitcoin traders are also accumulating and holding for long term, some people see trading as fun and they do it because they enjoy doing it. Yeah some people lacks patience that is why they find it very difficult to to hold bitcoin for a very long term, anyone that works for you in bitcoin you do it, but let it be known that the safest option in bitcoin is accumulating and holding for long term, if you can be patient enough then it is worth holding and waiting for.
Despite that it is there decision to trade, It is assumed that they do not know they value what they have and that might be the reason why they prefer to trade it or don't you think so, am not against trading, when someone decides to do what he wants, I do not need to criticize that after all traders will always tell you that they have profits from time to time meaning that they lose more often too, as I said earlier it is a personal section for anyone to trade, however, we can not say they actualize know the value, let me ask you, will you want to do gambling like stuff with what you value somuch, just be sincere and do not misunderstand me, I have heard many say something about trading not being similar to gambling but I have not been conviced about that, may be you can put me through on that. You might be right that traders are also buying and hodling Bitcoin for a long-term but Don't you think that trading can influence a long-term Bitcoin investor to withdraw some fractions of Bitcoin from his portfolio at some point for purpose of trading? And what happens when he does that.

And what happens when he does that. In my own opinion,I would say that there’s nobody that’s into bitcoin and doesn’t know the value and worth of bitcoin.Whether you’re a trader or an investor,you know the value and worth of bitcoin,the worth and value of a thing attracts people to actively participate in it.Traders are aware of long term profits but still they chose to trade their coins because that’s their financial decision.It isn’t necessarily all about making short term profits,we are aware of how difficult trading is even if we are not into trading,so the short term profits isn’t their primary reason because if you should as a trader when last he made a decent amount from trading,they may or may not give you their honest review that it’s been long they earned a decent profit.What drives them into trading despite the losses is the passion they have towards trading.

Yes the rich got more advantage since they have more liquidity and constant supply of funds for their discretion but that shouldn't discourage poor people make them feel they're not in a good position to invest in Bitcoin. The thing is that some poor people lack patience and that's were their problem is, they want quick money and can't be patient enough to start small, maintain consistency and grow with time. Some poor people even make the mistake of waiting till they get a better job or earn higher income before they start, I consider it a wrong step given that they could miss lots of buying opportunities before they could get the preferred amount they feel they could start with. There's no harm in start small then increase the amount of discretionary they wish to invest with as time goes.
Rich folks have enormous flow of discretionary income compared to poor peoples,which is an advantage these rich folks have that the poor Lacks. The rich folks have the leverage of accumulating bitcoin faster dued to there financial capabilities of investing larger amounts of discretionary income in bitcoin but poor folks shouldn't be discouraged because of that. The mistake most Poor people often make is that there are afraid of starting small which is wrong. They want to start investing big in bitcoin. If they start waiting to invest big in bitcoin they might miss lots of good buying opportunities that could've been utilize to grow their bitcoin portfolio. The notion of waiting for the perfect time to invest is a bad idea,they shouldn't be afraid of starting small. They should focus on investing the little discretionary income that is available, maintain consistent for two cycles while they work on increasing there income they will grow over time Yep.. even though poor people are disadvantaged they should not be discouraged or go down the road of gambling rather than investing. Like you mentioned, poor people might get into a mindset that they have to be more strategic and buy on dips, and then they end up engaging in gambling on prices going down and in a wrong mindset as compared to if they focused on ongoingly stacking bitcoin no matter the price and otherwise striving to maintain their cashflow i order to slowly put themselves in a better and better position, even though it may well take several years and even perhaps figuring out ways to increase discretionary funds.. so they can invest more and also so that their cashflow management is backed up by actual cash.. Poor people do not have money, then if all these poor people are involved in gambling, they will be financially affected and it may be that their entire life is going to be messed up because of this single decision. When poor people want to get involved in investment, they naturally think that they will be a little more strategic in terms of investment and they will always buy Bitcoin at a low price, thinking like this, they wait but after waiting like this, they do not succeed in investing because we do not know what the next movement of the market will be and there is constant pumping and dumping in the Bitcoin market, so a better decision would be to buy Bitcoin regularly and continue it consistently. Here I would like to add another important point that is that people are poor but they do not stay poor for the rest of their lives and if an investor starts investing with this poverty, I believe he will try harder to increase his income, as a result of which on one hand he will have an investment and on the other hand his source of income will continue to increase. The various battles around bitcoin are likely going to continue, so there is an advantage to stay focused on your own ongoing stacking, even if you might monitor bitcoin at the same time. Sure, maybe you have certain kinds of work that you do and how you spend your days to earn money... and at the same time, you can still dedicate a certain amount of time learning about bitcoin and learning about your own cashflows...
Historically there have been a lot of distractions related to bitcoin, and I doubt that the potential distractions into the future are going to go away.. .So if you are figuring out how much you can invest into bitcoin and how much you are going to keep in your back up funds.. and yeah, hopefully with the passage of time all of those continue to grow, even though the dollar value of the bitcoin might go up and down, but if you are striving for a 4-10 year or longer investment timeline, there are good chances that ongoing focus and doing what you can to increase your discretionary funds, you will be better off for involving yourself in bitocin as compared if you had not done so.
We have been seeing a lot of misleading information about Bitcoin and investing and this is not a short-term thing but it has been happening before and will continue to be confusing about Bitcoin. After investing, it is quite challenging for those who overreact to market changes or cannot control their emotions, but to maintain investment for a long time. I think we need to focus more on continuing to invest, keeping aside learning or planning about investment. That is, I mean that we cannot make our investments irregular for what we think about or try to learn about something, but rather our investments should be regular from the investment point of view. It is actually important to understand first that if their plans are long-term, such as five years, six years, or seven years or more, then why would all these investors react to temporary changes in the market, there is actually nothing for them to react to. The more the market fluctuations continue to revolve in our brains, the more we will worry about our investments, which will make it impossible to actually invest in a long-term plan, but our investments will become irregular. So what we need to do is to plan long-term, continue investing accordingly, and completely avoid market fluctuations. Common sense might also tell a guy who is new to investing into bitcoin that it is good to get started right away, yet since the guy is still uncomfortable with bitcoin, he is going to start with investing only $30 per week rather than $100 per week until he starts to get more comfortable and spend time learning the areas that he needs to learn that also include getting better acquainted with his own cashflows, which are all the kinds of skills and practices that anyone can learn as long as figures out some time to learn them and to practice to verify his levels..
If you can continue investing with a relatively small amount of money every week and keep it for a long time, then I think it is better to invest a small amount of money. In the case of some investors, it can be observed that they invest beyond their means because they are very emotional in the beginning and all these investors cannot continue their investment later. Suppose I have the ability to invest $ 100 per week, but if I start investing with $ 30 or $ 40 per week, then at the end of each week I will have enough remaining money and this is my alternative support. When I have extra money at the end of the week, I will also feel that I should increase my investment amount and I think then an investor will try to increase the investment amount on his own. So I always welcome those who are starting or want to invest with a small amount of money. So, maybe after 3 weeks he increases to $40 per week, then after 6 weeks he increases to $55 per week, and then after 12 weeks he increases to $75 per week, and then maybe after 29 weeks, he ends up feeling like he can increase to $125 per week.
The adjustments go along with the changes in the comfort level and also making sure that the levels are comfortable with the cashflows and the discretionary income and perhaps the building up of back up funds to the extent that the backup funds might not have had been enough in the beginning.
After starting, the investor can decide for himself how much money he should gradually increase. If he increases it a little from what he started with, he will be able to feel in the next week whether what he is continuing now is comfortable for him or he can continue investing by increasing it a little more. If he can do more, then he can increase the investment amount a little more in the next week and the next week he can again realize whether this amount is comfortable for him or whether he can do more. In this way, if he increases the investment amount gradually with ease, then maybe it will be best for him. (Here the same week has been mentioned more than once, I sincerely apologize if it is difficult to understand)

There's this popular adage that say, " people should cut their coat according to their size" which means that they should leave according to their means, same should be applicable to Bitcoin investment in the sense that people should invest according to their income, it's not bad for a low income earner to start small amd increase their discretionary funds with time. Just that some investors feel they're backwards amd have to do all they can to accumulate more even with the fact that they earn little, it makes no sense cause at the end, such person would likely sell too early to meet up with other needs. Every investor should know the right portion that should be assigned to their discretionary funds for investment and it should be according to their income.

Of course, the smaller amount that people put into bitcoin, then it might be harder to show significant profits in the future, yet guys can really only invest as much as they can, and sometimes investing conservatively will help them to manage their finances better and to balance their discretionary consumption, investment and savings.
Sometimes folks will invest way less than what they are capable of doing, which it part of the reason that I frequently suggest that guys should invest as much into bitcoin as they can without overdoing it... so yeah.. they do have to be careful not to over do it, and for both financial and psychological reasons, they still do have to balance their discretionary investment with their discretionary savings and their discretionary consumption.
I still feel that the idea of achieving balance may work very well, when folks starts out their investments in a conservative way...Starting out conservatively ensures that folks invest seamlessly in Bitcoin without having to upset their financial stability.Even though it is better to invest into Bitcoin as much as you can, I still think that starting out conservatively, will give folks room to still have money left for discretionary consumption and savings ... Folks can still apply aggressiveness though but then it should be later in their investment, when they must have increased their discretionary income to a certain point ..

I disagree with you. Trading is a business with huge potential for experienced traders. Many newbies misapply trading. They think it is a way to get rich in a short time. Just like new gamblers make mistakes in gambling. Trading is a skill-based and one of the most effective ways to make money. If you are skilled, trading can provide you with very comfortable financial benefits. It is a pretty BIG assumption that anyone can actually earn money from trading - including that likely less than 5% of traders earn any money and it is likely not enough to pay for their expenses. We need money to live and to pay our expenses, and in the context of trading bitcoin, it is quite problematic since bitcoin is one if the best, if not the best investment, so if we take any person who proclaims to have had been able to beat bitcoin's investment returns over a period of 8 years or longer, I would be quite surprised, and I would likely attribute it to luck... and if such person is withdrawing from their capital to pay their expenses, that is just draining their investment capital.. making it even less likely to show up in the real world rather than being theoretical. For sure some traders might be able to beat bitcoin investment at various short term periods, yet if he is regularly trading, he is likely to get caught on the wrong side of the trade so that profits are hard to make in any kind of consistent or even replicable way.. which is another reason to label trading outcomes as luck (and/or as gambling). Streaks of good luck could happen too, just like streaks of heads rather than tails can end up happening. The use of margin and/or leverage can help returns, yet it could turn and investment like bitcoin that is nearly guaranteed to win into a loser. Frequently, there is a saying with investment that the most you can lose is 100% as long as you don't bring in leverage.. so if you bring in leverage you can lose more and you can lose it faster and you can turn a winner into a loser. Saying that you can guess the way the price is going to go.. seems about as likely as being able to predict the outcome of a coin toss.. sure you might have slightly better odds, yet can you consistently keep the emotions out of the various bets that a trader ends up having to do as compared with an investor. Long term investment is definitely the right strategy for Bitcoin. After gaining long-term investment experience and holding Bitcoin for a period of 4-10 years, it is probably a logical decision to separate trading strategies with long term investment. Although I could be wrong because I am still a newbie investor. Correct me if I am wrong with reasoning.
Historically investment in bitcoin has been quite profitable, even though it is not guaranteed. It would be hardpressed to see anyone regularlly trading over 8 years or more to actually be able to beat bitcoin investing over the same period. Good luck to anyone trying to trade bitcoin, you are going to need it.. as compared with the investor who is consistently buying bitcoin persistently, regularly, ongoingly and perhaps even aggressively and ongoingly building his bitcoin and his investment size. Investing in bitcoin is not guaranteed.. yet it seems to have way better odds than any trader, even the better of traders, especially if we were to measure performance over 8 years or longer. I am still suprising about Gold price and its good sign for crypto market I guess, because finally we should see some downtrend on gold, and all that earned money should be invested in crypto so than we could build huge momentum and FOMO again like in 2021. What do You think guys? is it possible?
It would be dumb to invest in crypto.

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

It's just as you've said you barely have enough to pay for your expenses because whatever you earn is probably covering up for your past losses and you barely have enough for your expenses, My time in trading has made me to realize that I've just been running in circles and feels like I'm going no where. Time to time you will get caught on the wrong side of trading as long as you trade regularly and you are likely to lose. Most people go into trading because they lack the patience to wait many years but I've come to realize that investment is the way to go as it offers very little risk.

Good luck to anyone trying to trade bitcoin, you are going to need it.. as compared with the investor who is consistently buying bitcoin persistently, regularly, ongoingly and perhaps even aggressively and ongoingly building his bitcoin and his investment size. Investing in bitcoin is not guaranteed.. yet it seems to have way better odds than any trader, even the better of traders, especially if we were to measure performance over 8 years or longer.
I would definitely agree with you that the returns on Bitcoin investments are uncertain. So it is pretty better than those traders who long term investor and keep buying for 4 or 8 years. This is a useless assumption that makes people who are enthusiastic about trading Bitcoin think that they are throwing away a huge profit opportunity for a small profit. You don't need multiple sources of income just buy Bitcoin from one source with discretionary income it doesn't have to be aggressive. Increase the amount of buying after having multiple sources of income. Just continuously and regularly for 4-10 years it will create a strong foundation for your investment to choose your independent methods. I think trading doesn't provide a very good experience for most traders. One of the reasons for this is that they have a feeling of dissatisfaction, maybe to sell at a low price, or to buy at a high price, but it is an ongoing trading complex process for traders. Set an 4 -10 year Bitcoin target and accumulating Bitcoin regardless of price is a pretty better approach for investors than becoming concerned traders.

I've actually been into trading and it has been tough. It's just as you've said you barely have enough to pay for your expenses because whatever you earn is probably covering up for your past losses and you barely have enough for your expenses, My time in trading has made me to realize that I've just been running in circles and feels like I'm going no where. Time to time you will get caught on the wrong side of trading as long as you trade regularly and you are likely to lose. Most people go into trading because they lack the patience to wait many years but I've come to realize that investment is the way to go as it offers very little risk. Now that you have learnt your lesson, have you commenced investing in bitcoin? You have to commence as soon as possible if you have not commenced. And when investing the important thing you need to fix is how you invest bitcoin. Don't put money that is meant for your rent or food into bitcoin. No one knows what the future holds for bitcoin, so only invest with discretionary income by ongoingly buying for a cycle and more even. let go from trynna be smart or time the market. There is no shortcut in bitcoin, so brace up ya self to buy and hold ongoingly for a long timeline as long as a cycle and more even. It will make more sense to have a long term plan when investing Bitcoin, plan can keep you focused and guide the movement of your investment.

It's just as you've said you barely have enough to pay for your expenses because whatever you earn is probably covering up for your past losses and you barely have enough for your expenses, My time in trading has made me to realize that I've just been running in circles and feels like I'm going no where. Time to time you will get caught on the wrong side of trading as long as you trade regularly and you are likely to lose. Most people go into trading because they lack the patience to wait many years but I've come to realize that investment is the way to go as it offers very little risk.
Those who do not have enough money to take risks should not come to trading. Trading never guarantees money, so you can lose your necessary money at any time, which you would have used to meet other needs other than trading. If you have enough discretionary money, then start long-term investment with a small discretionary income. Since Bitcoin is a long-term investment product, it is not waiting to be said that you can benefit from it in long-term investment. In that case, you need to be patient and maintain your portfolio for a long time to benefit.

Are you trying to say that those that have enough money should come to trading and then throw it away instead of investing it in bitcoin for long term. Although long term investment in bitcoin isn't a guarantee of success but it is far better than trading. No matter the amount of money you have I wouldn't advise anyone to use it for trading instead this money can be used to buy bitcoin and then holding for a long term to avoid the risk of losing money since no one will want to put money were the risk of losing it is highly regardless of how much they have.

Though is not compulsory that a bitcoin investor/adopter must have to purchase a whole bitcoin before he can begin/continue to accumulation in the way the institutions are doing. Retail adopters can purchase with the amount they have to afford according to their income. With constant purchasing in a 4-8 years it will amaze them how much bitcoin they are able to stack with that amount that was initially taken to be small to begin with.
Many people have lost opportunities because of the assumption that they must purchase a huge amount of Bitcoin before they can start accumulation and that is a huge misunderstanding. I agree with you IjawMan because people need to understand that everything starts from somewhere, no matter how big or huge it is or appears. There is a saying that goes even the biggest ocean started as a tiny drop of rain and it implies perfectly to Bitcoin accumulation. If only investors can be ready for a long run investment, start accumulating Bitcoin little by little with what they have, not being discouraged but having faith that what they have started will in future make good produce, they will be surprised that in the next 5 years, what started as a $10 investment has grown far to be more than what they even expect. Some people even go as far as postponing their plans because they don't have a bulk amount of money to start accumulating with and it is not a good idea. The same way you start building a house with one brick and continuously placing another till it becomes the building you want it to be. That same way is how you start your Bitcoin accumulating journey, it mustn't be with a very big amount of money but with constant or consistent accumulation, you will be surprised to see that your future will smiling at you.

Trading in Bitcoin is not too bad as most people see there are people who also make profit in trading also loss sometimes but it's good to to always use little percentage of our income to do so because the risk in trading Bitcoin is very high. But long term investment is always the best even though nothing is guaranteed but from the movement of the price there is hope that long time hodlers will not totally loss all even though it also happened that there is not success it wouldn't be hard on us because we invested with our discretionary income unless those who invested with money they can not afford to loss.

For some they just can't resist the urge to trade even though it means losing money. They prefer being engaged and busy losing money than staying idle and watch their investment grow over time. For Bitcoin, long term investment is like a winning strategy because the price history shows that it has been a solid investment over the years despite being volatile. It makes me wonder why anyone would choose trading over investing.

Long term investment is definitely the right strategy for Bitcoin. After gaining long-term investment experience and holding Bitcoin for a period of 4-10 years, it is probably a logical decision to separate trading strategies with long term investment. Although I could be wrong because I am still a newbie investor. Correct me if I am wrong with reasoning.
Historically investment in bitcoin has been quite profitable, even though it is not guaranteed. It would be hardpressed to see anyone regularlly trading over 8 years or more to actually be able to beat bitcoin investing over the same period. Trading profit obviously can't beat the reach of bitcoin investment profit. A debate on this is needless. Good luck to anyone trying to trade bitcoin, you are going to need it.. as compared with the investor who is consistently buying bitcoin persistently, regularly, ongoingly and perhaps even aggressively and ongoingly building his bitcoin and his investment size. Investing in bitcoin is not guaranteed.. yet it seems to have way better odds than any trader, even the better of traders, especially if we were to measure performance over 8 years or longer. If the statement "investing in bitcoin is not guaranteed" was to be made 10 years ago it would have hold a lot of base but not anymore in this current time with how bitcoin has historically proven that it's an asset worth going on a long term constant accumulation stashing with significant ROI. I am still suprising about Gold price and its good sign for crypto market I guess, because finally we should see some downtrend on gold, and all that earned money should be invested in crypto so than we could build huge momentum and FOMO again like in 2021. What do You think guys? is it possible?
It would be dumb to invest in crypto. Crypto here would mean altcoins, which is really dump a risk to take when you can actually invest in bitcoin for the long term of 4-8yrs and have no worries with market charts whether price is sloping downwards or not, placing pressing concern on aggressive but conservative buying constantly.

It makes me wonder why anyone would choose trading over investing. Nobody likes to lose money except the person is addicted and for trading is not about addiction but using the wrong method to acquire more Bitcoin, it all boils down to lack of patience cause if one is patient then they'll understand that it's better to hold for long-term than to risk doing something that could make them lose money while they chase quick profits. Anyways it's not all about lack of patience, cause there are some people who're ignorant of the right thing or misled that traders to do the wrong thing which is trading Bitcoin for short-term profit, it's obvious that they easily mislead newbies since they're still very vulnerable.
