Inspiring mindset

[JaredIbrahim]

I think many of us have adopted the DCA strategy, but this mindset will clearly not be accepted by those still doubting Bitcoin.  They see the volatility and that it is too risky for a stable investment plan. So they prefer traditional assets with a proven track record.  But I think Bitcoin already has a proven track record.  It has existed for over a decade and has outperformed nearly every other asset in terms of long-term price appreciation.  Bitcoin value isnt about being steady right now.  Its about how it always bounces back and reaches a higher price than ever before.  And thats what makes it great for long-term investments.

Bitcoin does indeed have a track record, but that doesn't convince skeptical people, as they view the asset solely in the context of their own investments. They might invest at an unfortunate time, when Bitcoin is in a bear phase, and as a result, lose their investment or significantly reduce their deposit. And the fact that Bitcoin has shown massive growth over its existence has no relevance to their specific situation. That’s why they cultivate such distrust.

True story. They see the red, not the roadmap.

It's because they're tourists, not residents. They buy the top, panic sell the bottom, and blame the asset. They treat it like a casino bet, not a decades-long escape hatch from a dying system.

You can't convince someone who only sees price. They have to understand the why. The 21 million. The decentralization. The hardness. Without that, every dip feels like a scam.

Let 'em be skeptical. Bitcoin doesn't need their approval. It just needs time. The ones who get it will stay. The rest will FOMO back in later, higher. It's the cycle.

Your mindset is becoming very common especially among people who view Bitcoin as long term saving rather than a short-term trade. For me the key distinction is always intent. when someone has a stable income and treats Bitcoin as a planned allocation, not a gamble, it naturally becomes part of monthly budgeting, similar to saving or investing. what matters is that the amount set aside is money you can afford to lock up through volatility without affecting your day-to-day responsibilities.

Trying to time the perfect dip is understandable, but consistency usually matters more than precision, many people who build meaningful positions do so through regular accumulation and patience, not by chasing the 'best' entry. The real advantage is exactly what you mentioned: converting a portion of income from something that steadily loses purchasing power into an asset you believe can preserve or grow value over time. As long as basic needs, emergency savings, and risk tolerance are respected, that approach is far healthier than reacting emotionally to price swings.

From what I experienced, it's really hard to time the market, just like in this bull run, almost everyone is predicting that the price might hit $150k as it is the conservative estimates. So when we hit $126k, there could be only few of us who think that this is the highest high and sold some of their stash to make profits. While others, still believing that we can hit $150k and that's where they are going to sell. But we didn't reach that price and on the contrary it went down hard to $88k-$89k. So going back, if they would have knew that the price is not going to continue it's magical run, maybe they might have sold already. But that is part of the game itself, we will start on a new cycle already so we can adjust again and think of a good reset.

Every month you can allocate a part of your salary to bitcoin investment. You dont have to buy every month but that allocated amount accumulates and when the price drops use the money to buy a lumpsump amount and hold it till you reach a level where you are comfortable to sell it and the repeat the cycle of buying at another lower price. This entire process takes more than 6months because of the cycle duration and if you are doing it carefully you will be multiplying your money.

For those who have a fixed regular salary, I recommend this method. For those who dont, try to get into a job that allows such.

When just allocating the amount of money that will be used to buy Bitcoin, one question you need to ask yourself is whether inflation is affecting the money you are accumulating to buy Bitcoin. You can invest Bitcoin with a certain amount, and if the price at which you bought Bitcoin is just the same, the value of your fiat currency that you use to buy Bitcoin might not be the same.

While investing in Bitcoin, there are advantages; whether the price of Bitcoin increases or not, you are protecting yourself from inflation. I don't buy the idea of accumulating money that will be used to buy Bitcoin; buy Bitcoin immediately whenever you have the money because you can't tell if the price of Bitcoin will fall or not. As long as you are ready to HODL, there is no harm in buying Bitcoin even if the market falls.

Well said. DCA really helps take emotions out of the process, especially for people with regular income. Treating Bitcoin as a long-term plan instead of chasing quick profits makes a big difference over time

Those of you who already know this should do the same. And if you don't have a steady income in your life, then you should strive to implement this method, just as others have done with Bitcoin. Because people who aren't too keen on small profits in a shorter period of time will certainly be able to do what you're saying by continuing to buy Bitcoin without any reason. Especially if that person already has a steady income that they can set aside for this purpose to ensure their Bitcoin purchases continue smoothly.

Exactly. The method is simple: Get an income, stack sats, repeat. It doesn't require genius, just consistency.
If you have a steady job, pay yourself first in Bitcoin. Set up an automatic buy. Treat it like a non-negotiable bill your future security bill. This is how you build a real position without stress or trying to time the market.
If you don't have a steady income right now, your first priority is to get one. Bitcoin is a savings tool, not a lottery ticket. Fix the income part first, then the stacking part becomes automatic.

Your risk is small and you get a good return if you don't panic - it's a win-win for me and for anybody who wants stability in their hands, with most of the custody intact.

DCA is key and very helpful for stackin more satoshis. From satoshis, you can stack up to 0.01 BTC, 0.1 BTC and more, but it needs your consistent accumulation and also requires a lot of time for DCA practice.

Time challenges your discipline, patience and practice but if you can keep DCA bitcoin, after some years you will see your bitcoin portfolio increases considerable in satoshis and in $ equivalent value. It's a very right mindset for Bitcoin long term investor, and it helps the bitcoin accumulation and also unwanted effects from market volatility, bear market on your action in this volatile market.

Just don't leverage your money for buying bitcoin, you can buy and hold bitcoin quite easily.

Leverage is the bane of stability..

It's good for trading, but bad for activities like that, because you may never know for how much BTC would fall. It may be as much as to say your position would be gone by the end of it.

In other words, work well so that you have enough income to fulfill your needs and to invest in bitcoin smoothly, making your own mountain with bitcoin in the long run, reaping the sweet fruit of what you have planted in bitcoin today for the future. But I doubt buying bitcoin without that reason, like there is no purpose in your investment, like there is no hope, when what really happens is the hope of having a decent profit in the future, having enough retirement funds without working anymore because you have bitcoin at a very luxurious price in the future.

Investing in Bitcoin is something that should be done deliberately, so it's important to always make it a priority for everyone one especially salary earners who receives monthly income to always give part of their salary into investing continuously for the purpose of accumulation. You don't needs to use much setting aside little of you monthly income is a good way to go.


This can only be done when you have an investment mindset and investment mindset can only be achieved via knowledge which will be occasioned by study and picking up challenge to change your current financial situation. Your immediate environment also play a role in shaping your mindset you have to be in a place were you will be constantly challenged.

If you have a stable job and you are earning constantly, do your mind also go straight to how you will invest your salary to bitcoin? Because I do. It has now become part of my monthly expenses. I try to leave as much as I can for my bitcoin holdings and I think about a good time to buy bitcoin which is when the price is not at its peak. It helps me stay motivated thinking about how a small portion of my salary will go to bitcoin and can grow over time instead of losing value.

Your thinking in the right direction, looking for a way to accumulate in Bitcoin is a way of securing your future,
And now is the best time to accumulate more because the price has gone very low to an affordable price. and it is sensible to use it as an opportunity instead of being scared and sceptical

And this strategy of consistently accumulating at a range of time is actually the best, I do prefer it instead of buying at once.

Leverage is very bad, for everything, if you can not control the risk.

With trading, even you strongly believe that you can control risk, even you use stop loss or stop limit order, and even with low leverage, your leveraged trading positions still have risk of liquidations from exchanges. What happened on a historic day in cryptocurrency market in October is a classic example and strong warning about risk of leveraging.

I am really against using leverages for trading in cryptocurrency market as you never can control all risks and surely about no liquidation against your positions and trading capital.

There is a saying that smart thoughts come on the staircase. You always make more correct and better decisions in retrospect, when all the conditions are already known to you. This is especially noticeable in trading, because everyone becomes very smart after the fact. But in the actual moment it is extremely difficult to see the right paths, and even harder, even when you do see them, to take action, because actions come with responsibility.

Bitcoin is a tool,not a source of stress.Bitcoin should be able to give you confidence about the future,not anxiety about the present.It's a good thing that you've developed a long-term, investment-oriented mindset,especially around Bitcoin.The motivation is relevant knowing that part of your salary is becoming an asset,not just an expense;shows it's a long term decision.

Same here, its just part of the budget now like paying a future-me bill. I don't stress over timing perfectly setting a recurring buy on payday automates it. Turns the motivation into a habit and the habit into savings you cant easily spend. Feels solid

If you have a stable job and your payment is monthly you will be doing you self a great favour by investing part of that pay into bitcoin for the future. For example let say you earn a $100 it’s gonna be difficult to save up 50% of it on bitcoin expect if you have multiple sources. just as I know most people here have a stable jobs and still earn from the signature camp in the forum.
However if one can keep up with the process for few year, you will be amazed at the results when you look at at your accumulated bitcoin.
