Balancing Financial security and Bitcoin Accumulation

[Nightwatchmare]

Yes, it is not a must, you are right. Many investors are having different misconception on diversification and over accumulation. The reasons for diversifying can differ to another investor. The same thing goes for over-accumulation.

After investing in Bitcoin, which i think should take over 50% of your total portfolio, it is also good to diversify, I will recommend low risk asset that can give you profits yearly. It should be an investment that helps protect your bitcoin investment from tampering it.

I disagree because diversification doesn’t always reduce risk the way people think it does. Many assets people diversify into.....stocks, equities, even some bonds....often fall at the same time during market downturns. So when Bitcoin drops, those assets may also be down, meaning there’s no real “balance” happening. That creates a false sense of safety. Also, volatility alone isn’t real risk if you understand what you’re holding. Bitcoin’s price swings are normal, and reacting to dips by diversifying can be more emotional than strategic.

Another issue is spreading money too early. If someone has a clear Bitcoin target and strong belief in it, dividing funds before reaching that goal can slow down real accumulation. Concentration is often how wealth is built, while diversification is better for protecting wealth after it’s built. On top of that, many people don’t truly understand stocks, bonds, or other traditional assets either....they just assume they’re safer. Diversifying too early can also mean moving money away from a high-growth asset too soon, which comes with a real opportunity cost.

Even if you believe diversification does not always reduce risk the way people think it does, it is still necessary for people to diversify their investments into stock or bonds if they have reached the stage of over accumulation so that when there is a downturn in the Bitcoin market, their investments in either stock or bonds will come to their aid while they patiently keep holding their Bitcoin till the year they will decide to sell it. Diversifying your investment when you have not reached over accumulation in Bitcoin investment is very unwise because it will delay you from accumulating a reasonable amount of Bitcoin since you will be using your discretionary income on different investments. So to succeed in reaching over accumulation in Bitcoin investment, we should focus only in Bitcoin investment, and we can think about diversifying our investment when we have reached over accumulation on Bitcoin investment.

Not at all, I am not a shitcoiner. I was trying to give a level ground for anyone who wants to diversify and trying to see diversifying into personal business as part of diversification to help grow Bitcoin assets for low income earners particularly, but that made me sound like a shitcoiner as perceived. Also when I said halving accumulation target I really meant there was getting to the halve of the target, like let's say the target is 1 BTC so getting to 0.5 BTC.

Great that diversifying is likely a tool to preserve Bitcoin wealth rather than to grow it. In the crypto space, it is Bitcoin or nothing, so no chance for shitcoining.

When I think about diversifying my investments, this is what comes to mind.

I think you could possibly be thinking of diversification probably when you have gotten to over accumulation, when you have been buying bitcoin for a very long term, probably I could say that to your satisfying years, that is when I feel that diversification would be possible for anyone, but when you’re still in your accumulation period you do not have any business with diversification because I don’t really think there is anything you will diversify into that would be better than investing in bitcoin at the moment, because presently there is so many opportunities in the bitcoin market, just imagine you buy bitcoin now and what happens in the next 4-10 years I believe it will be massive for investment opportunities.

Yeah the idea of diversification isn't bad, it's just that it shouldn't be done at the early or mid stage of Bitcoin investments journey. Wen a person is building their Bitcoin position, focus and consistency is more important than you spreading your money into other Alts coins thinking that you will realize big profits from it. Bitcoin volatility is enough to warn you not to jump into other projects at an early stages. Diversifying too early can dilute results and create confusion. Like you said once you feel you have accumulated enough Bitcoin, then you feel you that you want to stretch your hands a little bit , then adding other assets ( but not shitcoins only strong Alts like Eth ) can help with balance and peace of mind. But still investing in them should be done with more caution because they are more risky than Bitcoin. As an investor, build your conviction on Bitcoin properly before diversifying.

Sure, infact I think that diversification should best be done to preserve your wealth rather than to build it from scratch...The truth is that diversifying at the early stages of your Bitcoin investment will just be slowing down your pace and progress...Due to inexperience, one may even end up diversifying a greater percentage of their money into worthless shitcoin, all in the name of diversification...This is why when you are just starting out and you still have a relatively small capital with little experience, it will.make more sense for you to focus on building your experience and then a meaningful and tangible Bitcoin portfolio, before diversifying later on when there is actually a wealth to protect...

...Due to inexperience, one may even end up diversifying a greater percentage of their money into worthless shitcoin, all in the name of diversification...

I don't know how we see this but never will I accept invest into shit coin as diversification because they can't replace Bitcoin if for any reason Bitcoin isn't available. They are only created for gambling purposes and the chances of you losing your hard earned money is much more greater than the chances of making something out of it, so what's the essence risking your money in it all in the name of diversification?
If we are talking of real diversification, we should be talking of land, gold etc, not alt or shit coin that are mostly created for gambling than investment.

Investing in shitcoin shouldn't be diversification option instead is better for one to continue buying bitcoin even though they have reach their accumulation joint than risking money you will use for other useful things to buy a bump and dump coin, diversification should be on valuables properties or other asset like landed property or gold, for instant you can buy a land of $100 and sell it $1000 in maybe 10 years time but you can buy a shitcoin now worth $100 and in a week time you are seeing $5.

Just like the saying goes that it is not good to put all ones egg in one basket because if something happens to that basket the person will lose all his eggs. However if it is in different basket when something happens to one the other will still be there. In the world of investment it isn't a good idea to put all ones income into one asset because if something should go wrong, the person will be left with nothing but compared to someone that has his income spread across different assets they won't lose everything. The essence of diversification is to reduce the risk of losing all ones income by spreading across different assets.
However a great care should be taken to avoid making the mistake of diversifying into assets wrong assets . Asset that correlate with the other. Diversifying ones portfolio in bitcoin to shitcoin, to me this isn't diversification because most of this shitcoin do correlate with bitcoin. Therefore we are not minimising risk by investing in them.

People that investing in bitcoin should be constantly be aware that such that money should be left alone for years, at least a cycle, and not less than that.

If then they cannot handle such idea then they should not even be investing in bitcoin.

Which is why people should invest with discretionary income as it is only what can make you to leave it for a long haul. Investing with any money other than discretionary income usually end bad in regrets.

Yes people that intend to invest in bitcoin for a long term they should have this in mind that they  won't have access to the money till  have reached there investment timeline. With this they will have a good understanding why it is advisable to invest in bitcoin using discretionary income rather than money that we will needing for our daily expenses. If our discretionary income is locked for years it won't affect us or we wont be pushed to temper with our investment but if it is money that we will be needing, whenever the need arise we will be force to fall back to our bitcoin investment.

One thing to keep in mind very clearly is that this investment is not liquid until the investment deadline is met. That is why it is not reasonable to invest in Bitcoin for daily expenses, emergency funds or near future needs, but only discretionary income. The money that will not affect our lifestyle even if it is stuck for a few years should be invested in Bitcoin. If we do not have mental stress about the investment money, then short term fluctuations in the market will not affect our emotions and we will be able to avoid making wrong decisions. But if the money we need goes into the investment, then we will be forced to break the investment in any emergency or a slight decline in the market, which is completely contrary to the long term strategy.

Yes, you are right. We should invest in Bitcoin through discretionary income. But most new investors do not understand this. They think it is very difficult to extract discretionary income from their daily income. We will start with very small. Because for small investors like us, we cannot afford to start investing with one or two Bitcoins. So we can start investing from very small.

The little amount of money that is left after our daily expenses is discretionary income. From this discretionary income, we can save some money for emergency fund and start investing in Bitcoin with the remaining money. This remaining money is our main discretionary income. With which we will not face any danger even if we do not decide to invest for a long time of 8 to 10 years. Discretionary income is a very small and beautiful residual. If we extract it correctly, we will never have to sell our investment in an emergency.

Before investing in Bitcoin, there is no body who have not spent money daily, weekly and or monthly, this should help in figuring out discretionary funds. The money that follows you to next earnings date or time. However, also figuring out emergency funds from that is part of but much easier when the left over is clearly noted. Doing these could also require handling unnecessary spendings that'll help the left over after daily expenses are well figured out amass.

If we are talking of real diversification, we should be talking of land, gold etc, not alt or shit coin that are mostly created for gambling than investment.

And especially alt coins or shit coins are never suitable for long-term investment, there is no expectation from them, and the probability is completely like gambling, luck. In the case of long-term subtraction, we should invest in assets that have potential and reliability, and these things are not in alt coins or shit coins at all. And this is why when taking risks, we should take risks in assets with which we will have a good chance of success in the long term. This is the difference between investment and gambling, one is completely based on luck and the other depends on the probability that we have to invest in the long term, and in this case Bitcoin is very suitable, but alt coins or shit coins are never.

Therefore we are not minimising risk by investing in them.

Investing your entire money or your entire life savings in Bitcoin will never be a good decision. Investing the amount of money that you can afford to lose will be the right decision. For example, if you invest 10% or 20% of your discretionary income in Bitcoin, it will be the right decision. Because Bitcoin never guarantees you, if you hold it in the long term, you will benefit from Bitcoin.

However, this does not mean that you will invest in other cryptocurrencies along with Bitcoin. Investing in cryptocurrencies is the most risky and like gambling. You can create an emergency fund with the amount of money that you have left after investing in Bitcoin and if you already have an emergency fund, you can save that amount and do something else or buy a land, this will be a good decision for you.
