Invest now and Expect positive returns this year, is it a red flag?

[arwin100]

There are only 2 times I’ve ever told someone not to invest in Bitcoin. At $20K in 2017 and at $120K in 2025. Let us hope I was wrong this time… I do think we’ll hit $140K, but I’m having my doubts and I don’t think the risk/reward of the market currently warrants new investment at this time. Buying at $20K in 2017 might sound smart now, but they would’ve lost nearly 95% of their investment in just over a year.

So instead of thinking about 1 year span or this year profit return then maybe much better if they target long term with Bitcoin.

Since if they try to seek to get quick profit this year then maybe they won't get those what they expect.

Its hard to tell that Bitcoin would really go to $140k that's why instead of speculating only for that situation to happen. Better for people to start accumulating and use their extra or discretionary funds so that they would have some good stake then see if they can get good profit with Bitcoin maybe on 4 years time span of their investment.

The year is almost in it last quarter with few months to go but for bitcoin, investing now is not too late.

There are lots of suggestions pointing to the possibility of bitcoin getting to $250k by the end of the year, how realistic is that speculation?

If bitcoin can get to $250k by December, then buying now in view of getting returns by the end of the year isn't a bad investment plan. Is such a plan a good one or a red flag?

Well atleast investing in Bitcoin is better than those get rich quick investment plans, if you are investing into  Bitcoin your money is safe but the question is when you plan to get your money out because silly price predictions like 250k per Bitcoin might not happen this year at all, while investing it's better to have a long term investment plan in mind.

It's even possible that Bitcoin will not see 150k per one Bitcoin this year, that 200 to 250k price might be something that's coming in the next four years to this time, you need to be prepared physically and mentally. Long term plan is the best, don't rely on price prediction that people are saying, in 2021 many predicted that we will see 100k per Bitcoin, when Bitcoin get to 69k it turned around and a new bear market came.

Why are people so hell-bent on setting price goals for Bitcoin? "Will Bitcoin reach X price on Y month?", "will Bitcoin become Z price on Q year?".

I just posted in a different thread about this.

The more you set up a goal, the more you set yourself up for failure. Don't create expectations.

Bitcoin is going up, it might go down, but in the long term it is going up. That is the only thing that matters.

Yeah, because we are on the verge of something that will be bigger change. It should be something that will be greatly profitable for a while ,and then bear run. History shows that rest of 2025 should be very high, so if you want to get in right now and get out at the peak you can do that. If not, then I would say keep doing DCA for a LONG time, like 2-3 years, so you can invest when it's lower too, in order to profit on the next bull run.

These are both possible together. Get all-in today, get out at peak, make a big profit, and use that all money to DCA during bear year in 2026. If you do that then you are going to change your life for good, because it will allow you to have such a good profit that you can actually change your life with it.

After reached all time high bitcoin currently stuck at $110k below and the speculator mostly said next month is important month for bitcoin prices movement whether it will be bullish or bearish especially there are some important news such as the Fed chair Jerome Powell's Speech so his speech will influence bitcoin prices for quarter 4th this year

Asides from these news i think investing in bitcoin still not late that people indeed should be thinking positively about the prices but i think $250k is too much which in my opinion if the prices has showing positive condition then probably $150k can be reached this december

Nobody knows the price which bitcoin will be going at the end of the year, everyone is just making speculations and we can be wrong, that’s why when anyone is investing in bitcoin, we shouldn’t tell them when they are going to make profits because no one  knows when that’s going to be. We having like 4 months till ending of the year, bitcoin getting to $250k is something that we can achieve, but I just think even if bitcoin price is going to pump, then we might not see bitcoin price above $200k.

If bitcoin can get to $250k by December, then buying now in view of getting returns by the end of the year isn't a bad investment plan. Is such a plan a good one or a red flag?

If you are planning to invest in bitcoin, then you are suppose to hold for long term, investing now and expecting return by December is really a bad idea, because bitcoin price might even dump by December. Asking someone to invest now, and promising them profits by December is really a reg flag, no one is sure if bitcoin price is going to increase by December. If you are introducing anyone to bitcoin investment, then just ask them to hold for long term.

$250K is an over hyped price to me, so I won’t believe and settle for that when bitcoin is even yet to reach $150K. Bitcoin investment would have been enjoyed more if one has invested in it longer before now, even before the bull run cycle begins. Jumping into the investment now is not too late but a rather risky thing to do to expect big profit by end of the year.

If Bitcoin doesn’t remain bullish with a full time momentum till end of the year, I don’t even see it even going to reach $200K. The bullish momentum may remain, but Bitcoin has to perform beyond reasonable doubts, before one can at least believe it will reach $250K by end of the year. For me, it’ll be a risky investment to invest now and want to take out profit by end of the year, but it’s also not risky because if you play well, you won’t meet with loss by after investing in bitcoin.

250k is fully silly from my point of view, I'm really not seeing that.   In such a short time frame as merely the rest of this year, especially if we count only valid full trading days ie. working days left in this year then its far too much.
   To get that kind of movement is more like lighting a stick of TNT then any controlled rocket launch or other synonym you want to label it as.

It would be chaos to get that price, it would actually move the needle from volatility to destructive movement.  Its not actually a positive to go higher in an uncontrolled way.
  I like that people want BTC to be this positive but remember both the buyers and sellers are important in any regular market and we really want BTC to last long term be stable, be valid and real not just a neon price on screen going higher for people to sell at the top; thats not a developed 'proper' market.

[Zigabel]

Impossible they say is nothing, remember earlier in August, Bitcoin was at almost $120k so is very possible $150k can be reached by the end of the year, there's probably almost four months before the year rounds up but the fact still remains that this year Bitcoin is still good to make moves above the current ATH, the current bearish moves we are seeing on bitcoin is definitely going to end and may not even last long, I'm even expecting to see the anticipated move by the first week of next month even.

You cannot go wrong now with investing in Bitcoin, actually to many, this is the best time to buy the lows but be careful it doesn't happen that after you buy the low,  The market goes even lower and puts you at the losses you were trying toe avoid.  DCA careful and ones the moves begin in the market, you will make some good profits.

When it comes to bitcoin or any crypto the most important rule is to only invest what you can afford to lose. speculations about 250k by year end sound exciting but they are just guesses and no one can say for sure if it will happen. the market is unpredictable and can move in ways nobody expects.If you buy now hoping for quick profit by december you are basically betting on short term speculation which carries high risk. it’s not automatically a bad plan but it becomes a red flag if you put in money you can’t afford to lose or if you depend on that money for urgent needs.

A safer way is to invest only what you can comfortably part with and think long term. if bitcoin rises to 250k that’s a bonus but if it doesn’t you won’t be financially hurt. chasing quick gains with money you really need can backfire badly in a volatile market like this. Bitcoin has shown in the past that it can reach new highs but it has also shown that it can drop by 50 percent or more in a short time. no matter how bullish the predictions sound you should prepare for both outcomes. having a clear exit plan helps too so you don’t get caught between greed when the price pumps and panic when it dips.

So the bottom line is invest carefully with money set aside for risk be patient with the process and avoid relying on short term hype. long term holders usually benefit the most because they don’t let short term volatility shake them out of their positions.

Of course we never know what the highest price will be at the end of this year, they speculate based on their respective experiences and also many factors that influence the price of Bitcoin. If the price really reaches what you said above, of course we would welcome it, wouldn't we? And we will definitely get results from our investment. However, it is also important to always be prepared for various possibilities, including the risk of falling prices, so that investment decisions remain wise and measured.

[Distinctin]

Whether bitcoin price will reach $250k this year or not, there’s always good reason to start investing in bitcoin, and that is seeing bitcoin price continue to appreciate in the long run. However, just to be honest, I don’t see bitcoin price will cross $250k this year, it maybe the following year or the next year ahead. But this is still some speculation of mine, since bitcoin can surprise us something we didn’t expect to happen, and that made bitcoin totally unpredictable and uncertain no matter how we think we know bitcoin well.

[bitgolden]

This type of approach can only happen if you agree that 4 year cycle is true. I believe it is true, but that is my own belief, I do not have a proof of it, I just believe that it happened every four years, so should happen this four years too, and nothing should change. This is why it's true that we are going to end up with great results with time. So if you buy right, when it's close to 109k, and sell at the peak of 2025, then you are going to end up with some profit.

This is why it's quite troublesome to make this work. I am sure that when we are dealing with this, it is not going to be that weird, because it's literally what we have seen so far in history of bitcoin, so if it repeats again, nobody will be shocked that it happened.

[Zackz5000]

I won't say it's a red flag if one starts accumulating Bitcoin now, Bitcoin is worth investing that is if you have your discretionary income available accumulating now and selling in a short time is not a good strategy to approach bitcoin we should accumulate Bitcoin now and hodl for long Bitcoin is a volatile asset there is every tendency that it price in the future will be higher than what it is now and there will be much profit if hodl for long but it should understand at first that making profit in bitcoin is not a guarantee.

[Japinat]

Honestly, I don’t see $250k happening within this year. I’m optimistic about bitcoin but I’m also being realistic about its possible price. My prediction is, it will only cross $130k-$150k but if it will go beyond that, I would be very happy for it.

Now is it too late to invest in bitcoin now? Definitely no. There’s no late when it comes to investing in a highly potential asset, but if you keep missing opportunities to invest, it will be too late then when you realize others have already in massive profits while you’re still in the process of thinking to invest or not.

[Questat]

$250k price tag of Bitcoin this year is all speculation(it's not certain). Don't put all thought and hope on that, Bitcoin will reach that price this year($250k). Sell your Bitcoin at a reasonable high price of $150k- $180k, to buy back when the market begins to experience a bearish market because hopefully by next year Bitcoin will experience a decline in price

Sell when there is excellent reason to sell, but aside from that, continue to DCA while we are still waiting for the best price to sell and make profitable returns. $250k for me is quite high for this year, that’s based on my current analysis. But we can’t make a conclusion either since bitcoin love surprises as well. Who knows? Bitcoin will reach another all time high higher than $250k by the year end, although this is just a big speculation. But for now, stick with DCA and do it regularly.

I have seen some funny predictions about the price of Bitcoin that still amazed me of investing looking for how the price of Bitcoin can hit a million dollars so that they can hit a jackpot investing on Bitcoin. It is certain that these prices many people are expecting Bitcoin to reach are too high to anticipate about. I know that the price of Bitcoin is certainly going to reach that price if the world has not ended by then but in addition to our optimism about Bitcoin skyrocketing, we should stop speculating on price that are too high to attain in a shortest period of time.
