What advice can you give some that wants to buy bitcoin early this year

[Riginac111]

A friend of mine came to me and mentioned the amount dollars he wants to invest in bitcoin, and say he's afraid to invest the amount he had in his possession to invest, but he's afraid because what people told him that bitcoin price will fall very well this year, and says that the reason why he came to me is to seek advice from me if he will go ahead and in invest or not

I only says to him, that bitcoin investment is not guaranteed that the price will not fall, the price falling and rising is the way of Bitcoin, but do not be afraid to invest, except that you have not make up your mind to invest

But I can advice you not to invest all the amount you told me, but only invest what you afford to lose, because in bitcoin investment, you are the one to take your decision not your friends will decide for you, anything your mind tells you do it, my opinion is not necessary in your decision, decide by yourself.

As a speculator of Bitcoin price, will bitcoin fall in 2026 as it was all trending last year November and December, will you advice anyone who have interest to invest a large amount in bitcoin to invest, will you advice the person to invest?

From his explanation he is afraid, which means that he can't withstand any possible decline in price of Bitcoin so for his mental level he should avoid Bitcoin investment and hold on to his dollar, you are right to have told him what you said about bitcoin a d the risks associated such as waiting for price to recover after a deep or when to sell during bullish market, what time frame you willing to do all this, this are the things he need to know before he consider putting in money into bitcoin.

Most people that are coming into bitcoin lately are all after the quick profits without learning the fundamental things around bitcoin and how important it is to build long term knowledge around your bitcoin investment.

Back to your question of what bitcoin reaction will be for the year 2026, this is too early for us to Start discussing bitcoin price speculations for the year but if you ask me if this is the right time to buy bitcoin, I will say yes but then apply all risk measures to stay ahead of market volatilities.

To cut a long story short, I've started investing in Bitcoin last week. If my chart reading serves me right, Bitcoin will buy in the coming months, and would probably end this year positively. But if it didn't happen that way, my chart would also tell me. As of last week, my invalidation price is around $84,000+, which could be a good reference point for your friend too.

To even start buying Bitcoin at the current levels is not too risky, after all, it's no more at $126,000, it's well below the level at about $90,000. So, no matter what it does, if your friend could wait, Bitcoin will surely still hit above its current ATH. It might only take time.

But the warning is that I only bought a little amount now. As the confirmation and assurance progress, I will add more. You might want to read: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5570771.msg66266183#msg66266183

If we see from the current price i can see bitcoin have dumped more than 30% since reach new peak and i think buying bitcoin now is the right time and i know according to the chart history this year probably bear market because 4 year cycle but i think the price movement will not same again just like the past even some traders has been predict most likely there will be no bear market happened in this year

People should be remember that bitcoin isn't offering quick rich scheme and those who can became an the millionare from bitcoin because these people have through an many years to hold until they were enjoyed the results and it's not easy to hold bitcoin for years because bitcoin will through an several phase such as bull and bear market but you should be tell the advices to your friends that bitcoin is the right asset as investment future and do not hesitate to invest on it

That means my advice to him is not waste, since is too early to know what bitcoin can be in price that means there's no assurance that Bitcoin price will increase anytime soon or not, adding some risk measures will be a safer side for him, since he's not in this forum I will come some texts of people who comments in this thread for him to read and see that my advice is not far from people he doesn't know opinion

[adultcrypto]

Bitcoin have no right and wrong time to buy, and irrespective of what the price is now or what it will become tomorrow, the moment you have the money just buy but you must ensure you are able to separate your investment money from that for basic needs so you don't buy today and sell it the next day. The mistake some people make is to invest all cash at hand into bitcoin without setting aside some money for basic needs. This make them begin to sell some bitcoin to cover needs when their is no fresh inflow of cash for some time or when they encounter any form of challenge or delay that impact on their cash flow. Bitcoin investing should be well organized in such a way that any need or emergency is taken care of without resorting to selling bitcoin.

Well, the price drop is not an obstacle for those who invest in Bitcoin that needs to be seriously considered. You have already advised him to invest according to the amount he can afford to lose.

You should also ask him what his goal is in investing in Bitcoin. Then, explaining the pattern or method of investment should not be overlooked. If I were to give advice, I would suggest enjoying every dollar invested in Bitcoin using the DCA method. Explain to him that the Bitcoin purchased is not stored on the exchange.
Regarding price fluctuations, if the goal is long-term, then the risk is smaller and the chances of price recovery are greater.

For me, investing based on other people's advice is alway a bad investment, regardless of whether that advice comes from an experienced investor or expert. Because, in the end, it is our money, and no one can be held responsible for our money except ourselves.

Therefore, my advice to your friend and anyone looking to invest in bitcoin this year is: first, do your research on bitcoin thoroughly and only invest when they understand it and are ready.

If they still have fears, such as fear that the price of bitcoin will fall further, losing money, or in other words, they are not ready yet. They should not rush into investing in bitcoin

Bitcoin has always moved in cycles sometimes it goes up fast, sometimes it drops hard, and nobody can predict the exact time or price. Even in 2026, there can be corrections, but that doesn’t mean Bitcoin is finished.

For someone who wants to invest a large amount, I would never suggest going all-in at once. It’s safer to invest slowly (DCA) and only with money they can afford to lock up for the long term. If the price falls, they won’t panic sell, and if it rises, they are already in. In the end, it must be their own decision, not based on rumors or fear, but on their own risk tolerance and long-term belief in Bitcoin.

No body can tell you when bitcoin price would make certain move.. we can predict it's short term movement but that shouldn't be a reason for someone to be scared about his investment plan. The years still fresh and anything can happen. Tell your friend not to bother much about price and use the dca method to invest in bitcoin as that would help him accumulate bitcoin at varying price level. There nothing to be scared of that would only delay his investment plan and may even discourage him even further. There will always be a time for the market to be bullish even if it goes bearish you just have to hold..

[michellee]

The chances for Bitcoin to fall in 2026 will be there and vice versa. We don't know the truth. If he wants to invests in Bitcoin, he should allocating the money and do not touching or panic if the price is down.

He need to learns much about Bitcoin investment. If you have knowledge, you can teaching and sharing to him. That will open his eyes of what he needs to do and prepares his Bitcoin investment.

You can teach him about DCAing Bitcoin investment because that is the safest ways. He can prepares the money and not mixing it with other needs. He can focus with his Bitcoin investment while he can still accumulates.

[asriloni]

No, i would not advice someone to go all in on Bitcoin. The chart seems bearish. The better he does DCA instead of going all in the same entry price. If he feels fear with the market, so he can put like 4% - 6% of his portfolio to bitcoin. It's not big or small, but just to ensure he also has exposure to the crypto too.

I know the all time chart showed head and shoulder chart, which is worrying me. However, it's not that bad to have some percents in Bitcoin form for long term purpose.

The better to tell your friend to invest what he can afford to lose (most probably a few percents from his total portfolios).

[yhiaali3]

Of course, I would advise anyone I know to invest in Bitcoin, but wisely, with a suitable plan and strategy. However, if someone is hesitant, fearful, and unable to wait, it's best to advise them against investing.

If you want to advise someone to invest in Bitcoin, you should first explain the risks to them, then advise them to invest according to the DCA strategy and tell them they need to be patient to achieve their long-term goal. Even if the price of Bitcoin drops, it's an opportunity to buy and accumulate more because the price will rise again.

I just want to say that Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme. To profit from bitcoin, we need to invest and hold it for a long period of time. This process can take 4-5 years, or even longer. Therefore, without long term vision and patience, he should not invest in bitcoin.

Moreover, once he has decided to invest long term, he should ignore short term market fluctuations. Focus on long term goals.

Finally, advise your friend to only invest an amount of money they can afford to lose, because Bitcoin is inherently volatile and unpredictable, and anything can happen.

[7juju]

Definitely I will advise the person to invest in bitcoin, but I will have series of questions that I will like to ask him before knowing what to further advise him. The first question I will ask is this, is he investing in bitcoin for the long term or for the short term. His answer will determine the advise I will give him. Let's assume he is investing for the long term, I will advise him not to go all in at once since he's scared of bitcoin dropping. He should divide the money which I assume is his discretionary income into three equal parts. One for doing weekly DCA, one part should be for buying the dip when the opportunity arises and one part for lump sum buy, probably his first purchase. That's the best way to go about it. If he's scared of bitcoin price dropping he is not ready to invest in bitcoin. Dropping and rising are part of bitcoin market as you have already told him.

Nobody should be forced in taking any decisions against his will, since he has made his decision himself and only seeking for further advice from a more experience folks than this is what I has to say regarding that : brother bitcoin can not be accurately predicted, we can only make our possible speculation but what will be will surely be regardless. However the best you will do to stay in the safer side is to invest what you can afford to lose because no one can tell what the future hold in stock, moreover if you really mean business and want to hit it big always go for long term run because that's where the full treasure lies.
