Can small investors actually make good profit with bitcoin?

Or are there other ways to make money with bitcoin as a small investor rather than just buy and hold?

As a small investor you can actually make profits from Bitcoin investment if you can be patient enough and also using DCA can give you an advantage as a small investor to make good profits in the long run but it's all about having the patience to keep on holding for a long period of time. But when using DCA it is important to start with the amount of money that you know you can afford to lose.

In addition to what you said, beginners should also know that the amount you use to invest doesn’t guarantee if you will make profit or not. An investor who invested with huge sum can end up running in lose while a small investor end up making good profit. It is important to go into bitcoin knowing you can make profit but profit isn’t guaranteed, this helps investors not to act out of emotion when the market isn’t going as expected.

I believe you, my friend. From my personal experience, trading anything isn’t fun, especially when you want to sell something valuable. People always think you want to deceive them, and you end up selling something valuable for pennies if you’re in desperate need of cash. Trading Bitcoin is similar to that. There were times when it was hard to sell BTC for $200, and here we are - trying to sell it for $85k. I 100% agree with you, mate — trading Bitcoin is far from being fun.

I get the bull run in 2017. Nobody could make a mistake in that short time, everything you would buy could turn to gold. But that's the fun of gambling rather than trading. Stay long enough and all that gold turns to dust and then its mass panic as you chase losses. I was there, I was one of them

DCA is fun though

DCA still remains the fun angle in Bitcoin accumulations because you will be working with your available cash flow to make sure that you remain at a consistent pursuit and the goal becomes the amount of Bitcoin you accumulate and not the value of price conditions at that time.

What we should look out for now is if we can be able to withstand both the bull market and the bear market when their occur since their Major features of cryptocurrency market?

I think it’s important to first define what we mean by a small investor and how much they can realistically invest in Bitcoin. I think a small investor could easily be someone investing just a few thousand dollars, perhaps anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000. Let’s say someone managed to invest $10,000 in Bitcoin during a bear market, at an average price of around $70,000. What kind of returns could they realistically expect? I think that investment could potentially double, or even triple in the best case scenario, during the next bull market. Even then, I think a 3x return is overly optimistic. So we’re not talking about particularly large profits, especially when the initial investment is relatively small.

Here, unrealistic expectations of success cannot be met, Bitcoin investment will certainly give a very good chance of success in the long term, but it does not guarantee it in any way. What we are investing in will create opportunities for profit for our future, but at the same time there will be a risk of uncertainty, and you have to accept this risk, be aware of it, and invest by considering your own capabilities. Basically, here you have to keep investing within your capabilities, do not invest large amounts of money at once outside your capabilities, but rather, keep investing within your capabilities, no matter how small the amount is, consistently over the long term. As a result, the chances of success will be very good, but even after that, your investment will not be risk-free, but there will still be risks, because it does not guarantee success, and that is why it is important to invest within your capabilities.

But when using DCA it is important to start with the amount of money that you know you can afford to lose.

It is true that the DCA  strategy and patience can help a small investor build a good bitcoin position over time. But DCA  is  a strategy use for accumulating bitcoin and does not guarantee profit, and  also holding bitcoin for a long time alone does not guarantee success either.

And you are wrong by  saying you should only invest money you can afford to lose. For me, this is investment and not gambling here you invest only using discretionary income, which is the money left after taking care of your needs and other importtant responsibilities. Which enable you invest without putting yourself under financial pressure.

You have a point, but you need to understand that every investment has risks this also includes Bitcoin investment as well, the phrase invest what you can afford to lose is used not just In gambling but also In Bitcoin investment as well because if you make an investment with such an amount of money there's a very low chance that you will sell your coins due to the fear of losing.


Even though this might be uncommon but a discretionary Income for some people might also be an amount of money that they are not capable of losing, it is not meant for any expenses and emergencies but it could still be an amount of money that is way too much for the investor to lose and losing is something that you should always be prepared for because the market can crash at anytime.

If you are looking for other ways to make money from bitcoin asides from buying and holding then you can go into trading, although this is considered to be high risk in crypto but there's also a way to make profit from this if you start off with a small capital. Trading bitcoin can be very tricky especially for a beginner, you might end up incurring losses in the early phases but it's possible to get good results when you improve your trading skills.

Trading has put a lot of people into losses and it's not advisable for a brand new investor to start his bitcoin journey with trading because it's highly risky and not a good way to grow wealth for the future. Bitcoin is a long term investment and not a trading tools which is the main reason why anyone into bitcoin should be a long term investor in order to limit the risk associated with it in the long run.

It's easily said than done to make profit in trading and why will anyone go and start gambling with his money when he can just stay focus and use DCA to buy and build his bitcoin stash overtime. No matter how long it will take you to accumulate your bitcoin target, it's worth it because bitcoin is a store of value and a hedge against inflation. Whether, you start with small capital or not, you will end up in losses in the long run but bitcoin long term investment wouldn't put you in any losses, if you don't sell and use the right amount from your discretionary income to invest into bitcoin and build your emergency funds.

Traders end up with little or no bitcoin in the future and they will definitely, regret their actions but a long term bitcoin investor will have a significant size of bitcoin in the future.

Of course, a new investor should not trade for quick profits. But if we say that long-term investments will not lose money, we are starting him off with another kind of false expectation. DCA creates an average purchase price. But it does not create a rule that the value of his Bitcoin in the future will definitely be higher than the total cost. Similarly, an emergency fund can help avoid selling when necessary, but it does not change the outcome of the market. Remember that a person can either have the ability to hold for a few years and assume that his profit is guaranteed after those few years.

Many people may have a long-term mindset. But if he invests money that he may need in a few months, then despite his long-term mindset, he may be forced to sell when he needs it. This ruins his plan.

People know that gambling is very risky and is more of losses but they still go ahead to gamble believing that they can still be lucky to hit the jackpot and before you know it, they incur losses upon losses. Some even go as far as looking for gambling strategies to make profits. This is the same with trading because majority of traders are losers. Making profit shouldn't be the main focus in the beginning because that's what will mislead people into trading.

What makes a trader stand out completely from other traders is being able to minimize losses because no matter how good or experienced a trader might be they are definitely going to incur losses but if they can follow the principles then it is possible for them to be in profit in the long run. But chasing profits in the beginning should not be the focus just like you said, strategy development is what should be done during that phase.

I don't know if you're a trader and have made more profits than losses because from the way you sound, you made it look as if trading is easy to make profits whereas, it's an empty promise. I don't trade and discourage trading.

Studying the market and trying as much as possible to reduce your losses doesn't really mean that making profits is guaranteed, mind you I never made it seem like it's easy because if you read closely I said that a trader would have to analyze the market and this isn't something that is easy to do, this is what makes trading difficult and different from gambling but every smart trader knows that nothing about the market is certain which is why strategy must be backed up with risk management
