are there other ways to make money with bitcoin as a small investor rather than just buy and hold?
Small investors cannot make good profits from Bitcoin in any other way than buying and holding Bitcoin. Because good profits in a short time never come from small investments. Just as a good profit can be generated from a large investment in a short time, there can also be large losses. When an investor makes small investments but continues his investment by following DCA, he can gradually accumulate a good amount of Bitcoin. In this case, even big investors sometimes cannot make the same profits because if the big investment is not held for a long time, then they cannot retain their profits. To get good profits from a small investment in Bitcoin or any big investment, there is no alternative to holding it for a long time.
You have made the profit rate and the profit figure the same thing, but in reality the difference between the two is the main calculation. The market does not know the amount of your money. If the price in the market is three times higher, then the one who has invested $ 1000 will also get three times as much. Again, the one who has invested $ 100000 will also get three times as much. Then it is not logical that the small investor will get less profit. Even if we mention the issue of getting good profit in a short time from a small investment in view of your discussion, then first of all I have to say that you are not talking about investing, you are talking about trading.

 It is not a problem that someone may have less weekly or monthly investable money. The problem is that despite having the interest in investing, they do not start by thinking that the amount of money is small. Someone may have only $30 of discretionary income after meeting all expenses, so they can start with that. A person who invests $30 a week for 5 years will have an investment amount of $7,500 in five years and if the price triples during this time, it will be $22,500. This is certainly not bad. But the person who thought that he does not have a large capital, there will be no profit, will still have zero in his hands after five years.

You make a good point but where I disagree with you is where you mentioned that if you invest small and hold it for a long time,it will yield huge profits. The size of your bitcoin investment and the duration you hold determines the size of the profits your investments will generate. For example,two friends invested in bitcoin at the same time and they agreed to hold it for two cycles, the first person invested $50 and other person invested $500,both using lump sum. What will determine their profits in the next two cycles is the size of their discretionary income they invested. The first guy who invested $50 will get small profits because of the amount he invested but his friend who invested the $500 will make much higher profits than him.. The point I'm trying to make through this example is that,the size of your stash is what determine the size of your profits in the long term, that is, if you invest a small discretionary income then don't expect a huge profits tomorrow, bitcoin investment don't work that way.
You are right with everything you said above and this is the main reason why you are advise to invest with DCA because it will accumulate into a significant size that normally without DCA, you might not able to accumulate that amount of bitcoin.

When you buy once, and expect profit, you are only deceiving yourself because in future, the money will not be that big to change your financial situation. But with your ongoing buying of bitcoin consistent and persistent, it will become part of you and that will enable you accumulate a good size of bitcoin in future that will transform you financially.

A person who invests $30 a week for 5 years will have an investment amount of $7,500 in five years and if the price triples during this time, it will be $22,500. This is certainly not bad. But the person who thought that he does not have a large capital, there will be no profit, will still have zero in his hands after five years.
You didn't do your calculations properly.

52 weeks X5 = 260
260X30 =  7800X3= $23400

Of course, anyone investing $30 weekly is in a better position than a no coiner.

Small investors can profit but depends on two things; the amount of money used and the duration of time they can hold their Bitcoin investment, that's how long that you're willing to hodl because we can't put in money into Bitcoin today and tomorrow expect to see profit, Bitcoin isn't magic money assets, but it rewards those that has patient holding it. Generally, Bitcoin rewards you over time, and that's one well-proven method to be profitable as a small investor.

Yeah, Bitcoin is not a magic wonders, it requires consistency in accumulation of Bitcoin by always putting in that amount to increase the deposit as much as possible and patience to wait for even a decade+ without thinking of withdrawing. Putting in money this month and expecting profit next month or even months is gambling about Bitcoin which means expecting it to be magical. Consistency, patience and decipline to avoid the temptation of withdrawing (all of which is holding on to the proven history of long-term holding being the best) is the magic wonders of investors in Bitcoin investment.

You can make a profit, but how long would you have to wait for it? After all, Bitcoin is an asset that takes years to go from the bottom to the top. And I think very few people will manage to buy exactly at the bottom and sell exactly at the top. So that’s something you also have to take into account.

Unless you’re buying Bitcoin as a long-term investment. But if that’s the case, it could take several cycles, which would extend the waiting time for a profit even further. At the same time, Bitcoin rises and falls a little less with each cycle. So perhaps for small investors, the potential profit won’t be all that significant.
the main aim of investors is i believe to accumulate wealth or in other words funds for themslvs and i think that bitcoin investing mainly DCA provides a person to accumulate it through both the methods saving and potential returns. investing at a long tim frame allows a person to save alot of money too and with that increase the value of the saved amount. so its two birds with one stone so that is why invsting is always or most commonly consired better than trading

It is advised that people invest according to the Bitcoin cycle, since it's a long term investment you can hold for four years or longer before thinking of profits, infact profits shouldn't be your priority your goal should be making sure the investment is successful and you can achieve that by buying and holding longer, asides security of the wallet and others.

 Also, you don't have to wait and buy at the bottom them sell at top, you can buy consistently so you can have the advantage of buying during bottom and tops without waiting for the bottom.

Dude if that is what you believe in then you are very very  shallow minded because wealth is just a piece of what bitcoin can give person . And if person can hold on to it for a long time there is plenty things that Bitcoin can do for that person.

* There is control. If you have bitcoin then you don't have to give a fuck over standing in long queue in bank halls or dealing with insults and delay that you will face in the bank when trying to withdraw or lay complains. Bitcoin makes you the manager and CEO of your bitcoin stash.

* There is also scarcity and that is a good reason why person could want to ongoingly invest bitcoin. Bitcoin cannot be printed endlessly, it is limited and that it scareness continues to increase and store it's value.

* And hell yeah, person do not need any person validation to move their bitcoin. So only you can control and transfer your bitcoin any time you want.
And so on.

I don't think it is reasonable to fix the investment time depending on the Bitcoin market cycle. An investor will fix the investment period in Bitcoin according to his own situation. He should hold for at least 4 years or continue DCA regularly. If someone fixes the target at the beginning that he will withdraw the profit after completing 1 cycle, then I don't want to say it a long time investment. It will be cycle trading.

When you buy Bitcoin according to the mindset of long time investment, then depending on overall  your financial situation, time, age, you will stop investing in Bitcoin or spend any other necessary expenses with holding, which will give you financial security. If you DCAing for ten years, then the purchases in the first year may be ten years old, but the Bitcoin bought in the 9 or 10 year is still a new purchase. If you can apply long time thinking to every new buying sats , short term trading or cycle trading type mindset is not created.

What happened to “invest what you can afford to lose? Don’t make people feel that they need big amount of money before they can benefit from Bitcoin long term potential. The amount a person invests should be based on what he can comfortably afford, not how much profit expect to make after two cycles. We all know profit is not guaranteed. Bitcoin can also fall and If it drops heavily, the person invested $500 will lose more money than the $50 guy.

This is why I believe more in spreading amount over time with DCA, instead of lump sum once and expecting good result after some years. Starting small and affordable amount does not mean one can’t build a good portfolio in the future.

DCA strategy has become the best method for investors due to several advantages. The big advantage of DCA in particular, I think, is that it reduces the pressure of market timing and many people have become accustomed to regular savings by following the DCA strategy. However, I think the most important thing about DCA is that people can invest according to their financial situation.

However, if someone already has available funds, then in his case, he can invest a part in lump sum and the rest in regular purchases and this can also be reasonable.

What do you mean by a "small investor" in terms of capital? I think that's quite important to the discussion.

Personally, I believe Bitcoin can generate very significant returns over the long term through simply holding it.

For someone with a relatively small amount of capital, I'd probably recommend a simple approach: buy a fixed amount of Bitcoin every month regardless of the price, almost like a retirement plan. Over a long enough period, I think the results can be significant.

For someone with more capital, where something like a 5% monthly return actually makes a meaningful difference, I'd consider trading Bitcoin as another option — but only if they have a genuinely profitable strategy and the ability to manage its risk.

So I wouldn't say small investors necessarily need to find a way to multiply their money quickly. The right approach depends a lot on how much capital we're actually talking about and what kind of return would be meaningful for that person.

Someone who expect a huge profit quickly from either  a small or big investment  is rather a short term investor which is more like a trader than an investor.  An investor with a long term investment convictions would use the  DCA strategy  which gives him a way to gradually build a meaningful bitcoin position from his discretionary income, and hold for the long term to gives his accumulation time to grow.

Even an investors who invest  big can lose money l if they sell too early or constantly try to time the market. The amount invested in bitcoin doesn't matters, but time, discipline and conviction.To buy only  with discretionary income  and use the DCA to accumulate bitcoin and hold for the long term growth.

Thee goal should not be quick profit but steadily building a position they can hold through different market cycles.

Even guys who are investing no more than they can afford to lose, they can still choose to invest into bitcoin as aggressively as they can without overdoing it.  These are not necessarily easy balances, since guys do not want to get 4-10 years down the road or more, and then realize that they had been investing into bitcoin too whimpily.  Guys should not have regrets if they invest into bitcoin as aggressively as they can without overdoing it, even though they cannot always be sure how much that is going to be, and even though bitcoin is not guaranteed to go up in value over 4-10 years or longer.

Trading is retarded, and surely bad advice.

Guys (even poor guys) should concentrate on ongoing, persistent, consistent, regular and perhaps even aggressive buying of bitcoin for 4-10 years or longer, and then he can reassess at various points along the way whether he has enough or more than enough bitcoin.

Beginner investors into bitcoin could shoot for accumulating anywhere between 5% and 25% of their income into bitcoin (as long is that money is within their discretionary funds), and of course, the one who is able to invest at the higher percent levels would have greater chances of reaching enough or more than enough bitcoin in a shorter period time as compared with guys who are ONLY able to invest at the lower percentage levels, and sure sometimes, guys might not have enough discretionary income in order to be able to invest at the higher levels, and many normal people tend to struggle to consistently invest/save more than 10% of their income on an ongoing basis.

1) Self-Custody is a right.  Resist being labelled as: "non-custodial" or "un-hosted."  2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized.  3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k

Even guys who are investing no more than they can afford to lose, they can still choose to invest into bitcoin as aggressively as they can without overdoing it.  These are not necessarily easy balances, since guys do not want to get 4-10 years down the road or more, and then realize that they had been investing into bitcoin too whimpily.  Guys should not have regrets if they invest into bitcoin as aggressively as they can without overdoing it, even though they cannot always be sure how much that is going to be, and even though bitcoin is not guaranteed to go up in value over 4-10 years or longer.

If we look at this from another perspective, we’ll realize that most people often judge their past bitcoin investment decisions entirely based on the price that bitcoin will eventually, and something like this can create a distorted picture for the investor to the extent that they might start to question themselves if they invested enough or not.

For example, if a person decides to put a reasonable amount of money into Bitcoin and it later happens that it does a 10x, there’s a chance that they may feel stupid for not putting in more.
But if it happens to fall heavily for years, that same person will be grateful that they didn’t put in too much.

What i’m driving at here now is that neither of the two outcome necessarily tells us whether the original decision on how much to invest was good or bad one.

Yeah for sure. An investor should invest based on what his discretionary income is instead of concentrating on whether the price will go up or down. The focus should be on the amount of bitcoin he can be able to accumulate over a period of time based on his scheduled goals. A beginner may decide to increase his investment amount after thinking that he has now understood how trusted bitcoin is. Such conviction comes from doing your own research and ensuring that you are investing by discretionary income only.

Using what the outcome could be to determine the extent of aggression to go in your bitcoin investment will amount to distraction or can lead a beginner into investing based on FOMO or even terminating their long-term investment.
You can start small and improve your allocation when your income becomes better or when you get more understanding about what you are investing in provided you are not doing it beyond your strength.

I suspect there are still people who lack knowledge about Bitcoin investing—such as not fully understanding how the Bitcoin market works—and who make large purchases all at once, which makes them prone to panic when the market price drops below their purchase price.

In fact, many potential bitcoin investors lack the friends who would tell them that it is not such a difficult task to invest bitcoin, especially if you use the only correct DCA strategy. But, unfortunately, many are afraid to take the time to understand bitcoin and blockchain, and therefore they are not participants in investing. I also want to note that in today's fast pace of life, many people succumb to the false idea that money can and should be earned quickly, but in fact 4-10 years is not such a long time that will pass unnoticed if you just set out to invest your discretionary income using the DCA strategy. I think the most important thing for such investors is just to develop a habit, psychologists say that this has been happening for the third time. Therefore, it is easier than it seems to embark on the path of sound investment.

Our modern day society is filled with people who are more concerned with what can make a double/triple of their capital in a short period of time, and you will find it difficult to see those who will want to make investments that will take up to 5 years for it to grow before yielding positive returns. Gaining proper knowledge about Bitcoin is a long journey for them, therefore making them to take risky moves on trading/investing in meme coins for immediate market doubles. For proper investment time frame, 4 years as a minimum, but for those looking for quick ROI, a month is barely good enough, that's why the rate of gambling is on a high increase.

For proper investment time frame, 4 years as a minimum, but for those looking for quick ROI, a month is barely good enough, that's why the rate of gambling is on a high increase.

If someone’s very first thought upon entering the Bitcoin space is how to quickly double or triple their money they have not adopted the mindset of a genuine long-term investor instead they are chasing short term profits. It is this mindset that leads most people to get sidetracked by trivial pursuits such as trading meme coins and the hunt for quick returns rather than taking the time to understand Bitcoin and accumulate it patiently.

Even 4 years is not long enough to invest in Bitcoin (Time frame 4-10 years is generally considered the minimum to consider it a long-term investment). The time frame from 4 to 10 years creates an entirely different attitude. The idea here isn't to guess how much Bitcoin could move in the next month but to buy the asset over a long period of time while understanding that there will be ups and downs in the market.

Issues occur when the main investment objective turns into discovering the subsequent chance to double or triple one's money. There is increasing impatience frequent changes in plans and strategies and every price move itches. Eventually the investment is not a genuine investment but merely a trade.

Bitcoin is not a thing you can master overnight it takes time to develop the knowledge discipline and conviction. Consistency over a reasonable period of time, 4-10 years is much more important than predicting every dip in the market or every short term price change. But developing an investment mindset based on one's financial ability is so much more important than chasing short term market movements.

You are right @osasshem. They don't understand everything need process and no quick money without patient. The thing they need is learn, learn from many good sources which they can get by research. They don't need to have many friends to learn Bitcoin. With the Internet connection, they can finds many good resources. DCA is one simple method which they just need to buy gradually with money they can afford and hodl it for some time. If they really learn about Bitcoin, investing, and also DCA, they will understand that waiting for some time at least 4-10 years will not takes too long compare to what they will get it later.

It's only those that mentally poor that will be looking for a quick ways to double their capital in a short period of time that that's why they make wrong decisions that will put them into financial losses overtime. Someone that's aiming towards success in life knows that to grow wealth takes a long time because there's no magic in it.

Boitcoin is not a short term project for quick profit but a long term asset and anyone who is ready to invest into bitcoin should have a long term mindset because he's gradually piling up wealth for himself in future. This is why I chose bitcoin long term investment path because bitcoin is a store of value and increases in price overtime. Fiat currency loses its purchasing value overtime and bitcoin has given us the opportunity to safe the value of your money from depreciation.

Brand new investors should know that trading and buying of shitcoins are all gambling and there is no future in them. Invest in bitcoin for long term and hodli as you DCA weekly with your discretionary income. The problem with those that are short-sighted to see that bitcoin is a future asset due to his great potentials is because they are after the today and not after their future which is a wrong mindset to be successful in life.

It is very funny of you to assume that someone that intentionally choose to trade Bitcoin don’t know what long term accumulation/holding is. They’re only after quick profits that’s all. They see over time accumulation as a slow process and don’t have the patience to wait; exactly what is needed in long term BTC investing.

Many of them already have that mentality because they’ve been jumping from one shitcoin to another a lot … so they bring the same mindset to Bitcoin.
