Investment Become Gambling

[Abbatty]

Absolutely, beginning very early in Bitcoin is really a good idea there's a parable that's says who that goes to market early shall purchase the things that is meaningful than people that comes very late all they will be seeing is things that people have already rejected for them to see good things to buy will be very hard because people that comes early have gotten all good once, what are my saying is starting Bitcoin investment early when price Bitcoin  still low is never a bad idea this is time  one needs to investment because Bitcoin is volatile you might wakeup one morning I heard that Bitcoin have rise up to $100 it be so rewarding when you in invest early, time doesn't wait for anybody.

That your saying about going to the market early and getting the good ones and people that comes late get what rejected doesn’t apply to bitcoin mate. The market is open at all Time, and using the word rejected might discourage newbies that are yet to start their bitcoin journey. We should let them know that a any time is the best time to invest in bitcoin. You cannot delay your investment because you feel you’re starting late, as soon have you have a discretionary income you can start your journey.

When you are using the DCA you become less concerned about how the market is moving, so for persons that are thinking in starting the journey soon, You should use the DCA and make sure you don’t delay your investment journey for any reason, so long you have your discretionary income.

The major reason why many people don't really fancy Bitcoin is because they can wait to hold it till it gives them better profit in future.

I think the reason why people don't like Bitcoin is not just the expectation of more profits in the future. Although technology has improved, many have not yet been able to improve with technology. For many, Bitcoin may be unfamiliar or just a simple crypto. Again, many may have associated Bitcoin with a quick profit scheme. Again, some may not be able to start because the expenses are higher than the income.

There may be different reasons for different people, but the decision should be made by the individual.There are many investors who take Bitcoin very seriously because it is a strong long-term asset.The fact is that if you expect profit in the beginning, it is normal for various excuses to come up.

Bitcoin should be seen as an asset. So that you can strengthen your position by saving with discretionary income without worrying about profit.

You did research to confirm if bitcoin is legit, dude that sound very funny. Yes research is good thing but bitcoin isnt shitcoin that person.shoild have to confirm if it is legit or not. Bitcoin is fucking legit man and the price of bitcoin holds all the evidence toi need to know wether it is legit or not.

How is what he said funny? You already said doing research is good yet you're saying his statement is funny or is it because the research is on Bitcoin? What if he had no knowledge about Bitcoin investment before doing the research? You didn't put that into consideration or do you expect him to invest blindly into what he doesn't understand because it's Bitcoin?
 If you think so then you're the one who is funny cause i think investing blindly into anything including Bitcoin is wrong, atleast the research he did would give him heads up of what he's going into before he decide to do it, or can't you see that "he got some level of conviction" about the coin after that research? Even the basic knowledge you advised on can still be gotten through research.

Not just Bitcoin, it is very proper to do research before investing in anything. There are people out there who still don’t know about bitcoin, so when such people want to invest into it, they need to make research, at least that will give them a clear understanding on what they are putting their money into. So it not funny that he really makes research about Bitcoin.

I think every one of us make research about Bitcoin before investing in it. Bitcoin looks more globally now but still making research about it is not wrong. So at least he knows now that he don’t need much to start an Investment in bitcoin. This research will give him the basics he need to know.

Exactly my point here, making a research is not something someone should Just stop, research is also part of knowledge. especially it come more important to make some research before putting your money into some investment to avoid regret later. And for the bitcoin, investment in bitcoin is not that hard, but some people see it as something that’s very difficult, which is not. Bitcoin investment not necessarily means you must understand every technical details, if understand the risks involved and know how to buy bitcoin and how to also keep your bitcoin safe that enough for investor to start.

In 2026 are there still lots like that huh? If there are then they are very delusional. I will withdraw that word 'delusional' because it could just mean they don't have understanding about bitcoin yet. But even without understanding person suposed to still be able to tell a good asset when they see one. Good things will never give you fast money, it will always take a while to bring you profit, this is what so many lots fail to understand.

On brighter side, bitcoin is very promising than others fast money coins that some lots fuck around with. it is very easy to get profit from bitcoin when person ongoingly invest for long time than short time. What person requires is patience because there can be time when the market can be red and that can make the investment not to look profitable at that time . If that happens no need to be in a hurry because it will always later high up with time when the bull market comes

Should I tell you what is hard in Bitcoin investment? What is hard in Bitcoin investment is investing and holding for some years and also persevere when you see your investment going up and down even though it is your discretionary. Do you also know that there is a point you will grow your portfolio it wil look like something you can not afford to lose anymore even though you used what you can afford to lose before that is what is difficult in Bitcoin investment. In summary, Bitcoin is not a bed of roses.

If you claim that these things are extremely hard, then you are saying that long term investing is hard and why do you think so? What you have described as hard in Bitcoin investing is the necessary steps needed for long term investing and if that is seen as hard, I'm afraid that you are leaning towards short term investing. That is to say that if long term investing is hard, does that make short term investing easy? I'm sure you have forgotten the anxieties, the sleepless nights of gazing at the charts and sometimes praying in tears that comes with short term investing especially when Bitcoin is undergoing correction.

As long as the investor using part of his discretionary income that he can part ways with, there is nothing hard about long term investing. Setting up emergency funds even makes it easier because with it, the investor will never have any reason to panic as his mind is completely detached from the investment.

You have said something important. The amount that can be easily lost today may become a much larger amount in the future if you do DCA regularly. If a person does DCA of $30 every week, it will become a much larger amount after 10 years and if the price of bitcoin is high at that time, the profit may be several times higher than the amount invested. The DCA of $30 that was made in a week may have been a small amount and was beyond the necessary expenses, so there was a mentality of losing comfortably, but when that amount has accumulated 10 years or more and created a large portfolio, it is no longer an amount to lose easily. But at this time, many people think of which is to sell their entire bitcoin holding. If the price of bitcoin continues to increase after selling everything, it may feel like a psychological loss. So if an investor's holding becomes strong enough and he wants, he can sell some bitcoin regularly through sustainable withdrawal and cover all his later life expenses.

[Charleslie]

A good investment takes a lot of time, patient and also research. But immediately you start investing money on what is not valued, or striving to invest more or recover the loss of money you might not longer invest wisely. Investment becomes gambling when you start focusing on the money you get and forget about the risk in it. Gambling is more about luck and hoping to win big. But a smart investment should base on the knowledge you have or get. Don't  ever invest just because you're afraid of missing out, don't invest because you find every person around you making money.

Setting up emergency funds even makes it easier because with it, the investor will never have any reason to panic as his mind is completely detached from the investment.

I agree with you. To say that long term investing is difficult actually depends a lot on the mindset and objective of an investor. Many of those who find long term investing difficult have the goal of making quick profits taking advantage of daily price movements or getting big returns in a short period of time. So buying Bitcoin and holding it for years and waiting patiently may seem difficult to them. The objective of a long term investor is different. His goal is not to worry about daily charts or short term volatility but to stay invested in Bitcoin for a long time and let time work in his favor. If an investor invests from his discretionary income and has an adequate emergency fund then even if the market temporarily corrects by 20%, 30% or more he does not have to panic and sell. Long term investing itself is not difficult what is difficult is wanting to invest long term with a short-term mindset. If you watch the price every day and want quick results then long-term investing will definitely seem difficult to you. But if your goal is to truly build wealth over the long term then discipline patience and proper financial preparation make it much easier.

know why it is sounds funny it is because he said he did the research to know if Bitcoin is legit, these are no longer the time people are doubting bitcoin if it is legit or not it is understanding that bitcoin is legit, and if Bitcoin we are not legit it you wouldn't have had a traffic that it has now, all this that of Bitcoin we are something that happened 15 years back not recently so it is funny for each to say it Bitcoin is legit or not

No matter how you want to look at it or because the number of people who have adopted bitcoin have increased over the years, there are still people who don’t know of bitcoin, they are people who know of bitcoin but don’t know if it legit or not, there are still people who think bitcoin is a scam. So I don’t think because recently there is much adoption of bitcoin, then we should just assume by now everyone should be aware of how legit bitcoin is.
Anyone that wants to do their research until they are satisfied enough to want to invest is free to, since they feel anybody telling them about it is not convincing them enough and moreover bitcoin is not meant to be forced on anyone but to be bought willingly.

Absolutely right, the fact that we understand Bitcoin doesn't mean others do, some people know about it but don't think it's a good option for investment, i know an elderly who thinks it's a scam, he prefers to invest into real estate but if such person finally gets convinced after a while, don't they think such person would've done research about it before it finally convinced him that Bitcoin legit?
 Doing research to prove that Bitcoin is real shouldn't sound dumb cause doing research is not a bad idea for someone who needs to be convinced that Bitcoin is real

You’re right on the core points. Patience, research, and risk awareness separate investing from gambling.With Bitcoin specifically,which has a fixed supply of 21 million coins. That scarcity is the foundation of the long-term value thesis, not short-term price moves,you also have to know that Volatility is extreme. Price can drop 50–80% in a cycle and still recover over multi-year periods. Treating it like a quick win also turn your investment to gambling.As always I'll advice one only use discretionary money you can afford to lose, understand the basic thesis, and ignore FOMO or what others are making.
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) over time usually beats trying to time entries or chase losses.Focusing only on the money you hope to make while forgetting the risk turns any asset into speculation. Knowledge and position size discipline keeps Bitcoin investing on the right side of that line.

It will be enough for everyone to analyze the price history of Bitcoin from its inception to now. If someone wants to analyze more, they can do so. I personally think that if someone wants to research Bitcoin, they should first start with the Bitcoin price graph. I think a sensible person will be able to understand the importance of Bitcoin.
I think many people may have different opinions, but a sensible person will regularly accumulate Bitcoin and evaluate Bitcoin as a future asset.

[Different patterns]

Absolutely, beginning very early in Bitcoin is really a good idea there's a parable that's says who that goes to market early shall purchase the things that is meaningful than people that comes very late all they will be seeing is things that people have already rejected for them to see good things to buy will be very hard because people that comes early have gotten all good once, what are my saying is starting Bitcoin investment early when price Bitcoin  still low is never a bad idea this is time  one needs to investment because Bitcoin is volatile you might wakeup one morning I heard that Bitcoin have rise up to $100 it be so rewarding when you in invest early, time doesn't wait for anybody.

That your saying about going to the market early and getting the good ones and people that comes late get what rejected doesn’t apply to bitcoin mate. The market is open at all Time, and using the word rejected might discourage newbies that are yet to start their bitcoin journey. We should let them know that an any time is the best time to invest in bitcoin. You cannot delay your investment because you feel you’re starting late, as soon have you have a discretionary income you can start your journey. 

Well said. bitcoin investment is always open for investors to begin their investment, there’s no late start, anytime anyone comes across to investing in bitcoin is always early and best time to start. Bitcoin investment always available in 24hours. Is different  from physical market where early people buy and late people get rejected ones. As nobody can predict the next price correctly or predict the best price in future.

And again the biggest mistake new investors can make is to think they are already missed the opportunity to buy bitcoin, that will keep them waiting for long term, thinking they are waiting for another best time to come. waiting for best time, that’s totally waste of time, the only focus should be having a plan and invest what you can afford.

I dont think this is the hardest part of investing in Bitcoin. The hardest part of investing in Bitcoin is when you are accumulating Bitcoin when you know that you are not financially okay or stable to meet up with other bills that could become a problem, making you to go back to your investment to sell something out of your entire accumulated investment.

Investing in Bitcoin should have a strategy and people that are aware about this and know how to strategically invest in Bitcoin will not want to do something that will make them lose due to greed or your a strategy that does not work well.

I think many people may have different opinions, but a sensible person will regularly accumulate Bitcoin and evaluate Bitcoin as a future asset.

Anyone who really researches the past of Bitcoin with interest will definitely understand the real potential of Bitcoin. But if you have no desire to invest, then no matter how well you know Bitcoin, it is of no use to you, because then even if you research Bitcoin in depth, you will not be able to invest, because you do not have the mindset to invest.
So first prepare yourself for investment, and then research Bitcoin to invest in Bitcoin. If you really want to invest in Bitcoin, then I would say that you can start investing in Bitcoin with very little research, but if you do not want to invest, then even if you research Bitcoin in all the ways, you will not be able to start investing well.

Seriously, it's hard because it's not easy to be looking your money going up and down only the real investors have that mind of leaving their money in their.

Although, this also deal with how knowledgeable you are as an investor and mind, because this investment also deal with people who have that mind of leaving their money in their, it's part of the risk that you already studied before investing it, and that's why it is always advisable to invest what you can afford to lose.

But a smart investment should base on the knowledge you have or get. Don't  ever invest just because you're afraid of missing out, don't invest because you find every person around you making money.

You didn’t mention one important part of investing and that is having a clearly defined time horizon and an exit criteria.

You see the thing about bitcoin investment is that even though you have done research and you understand the asset, you can still make poor decisions if you have no idea of why you’re even investing in the first place, how long you intend to hold or what will make you change your thesis for investing and these are important things that should be put into consideration if you’re an investor.

And perhaps you seem not to understand that the risks that are in bitcoin investment is not only about loosing your money alone, there is also liquidity risk, inflation, and even the opportunity cost of putting your money into one investment when there could probably be better options elsewhere.

Anyone that say it's very easy is deceiving him or herself cause at the end most of them fail to pass the test Bitcoin gives them through volatility, to be successful in Bitcoin investment is beyond just knowing, discipline is very important cause when one is disciplined such person would remain patience till the target is met.

 Bitcoin investment is not very difficult to understand but it's not very easy too cause it requires lots of patience and conviction to keep believing in the coin and holding.

Tell me what is that thing that will make someone to go back and temper their Bitcoin investment?, I will like to mention few things that can make someone to go back to their Bitcoin investment (1) lack of Bitcoin knowledge and understanding, if you understand how Bitcoin works you won't make mistake that will make you go touch your investment (2) using what you can not afford to lose which still boils down to number thing i mentioned. So what you said is not the hardest because it is a pure mistake that will make one to touch their investment when they should have an emergency funds.
