My actual 10 year BTC plan

[Cossyblack]

Ten years is long enough to catch at least two more full cycles, maybe three, and honestly I don't think in terms of price targets anymore. I think in terms of stack size and time in market. If I'm still adding sats every week in 2036 regardless of whether we're at 40k or 400k, I'll consider the plan a success even if the number never hits anything specific.

Does this makes me the smartest man alive?

Ten years is a long time to hold bitcoin but if you can hold up to that time then you on the right paths to your success in bitcoin.
How sure are you that bitcoin will hit 40k-400k within the next 10 years because it doesn't seems realistic to me? I'm sure you are speculating about the price because as far as I know no one can predict what the price of bitcoin will be in the next 10 years. I like the fact that you are determined to accumulate bitcoin consistently because you want to successful in the long-term. Buying consistently weekly for the next 10 years is a great idea as you will stack a very huge amount of bitcoin. What funds are you using to accumulate bitcoin? The reason why I am asking is because it is only your discretionary income that you can use to accumulate bitcoin so that you can hold longer in 10 years time

Avoiding day trading is a good idea. What if you set a plan every 4 or 5 years, and the next plan doesn’t differ from the previous one in each cycle? In each cycle, you could consider cashing out your Bitcoin profits in USDT or fiat currency so you can buy more when the price drops sharply again—by more than 50% from its all-time high.
My guess is that this pattern is part of a strategy planned by most people, since the goal for most people is to take profits and then buy back in when prices are low.

Your suggestion is the exact opposite of his plan to keep buying every week and HODLing, for 10 years, which is an excellent idea.Your take to sell at higher prices and seek for lower prices to buy again is unreliable as one can never tell when price have topped or bottomed out besides much of the yield is sure to be lost taking that route. 

Follow your original path and only make adjustments that would make the dream achievable and without much stress

DCA approach have no exit or cash out plan, attaching your bitcoin weekly buying as in the ops to crypto cycle of 4-5 years can make it hard for you to mentain consistency in accumulation of bitcoin forcing you to concentrate on the market price in each cycle, this lead you to attempt cashing out of profits which is not part of your DCA plan.
Ten years accumulation target is ok but the thing that is most important is to build a system that keeps your cashflow in a consistent position, not to depend on your accumulated bitcoin to make up for your emergency funding or that expenses that may come along the way during this long period of time.

I can't say that until you succeed in hodling Bitcoin for the 10-year plan you have at heart, because tomorrow you might decide to change your mind and do otherwise based on one or two reasons you find about Bitcoin that threaten your long term accumulation of Bitcoin.

I have seen people who plan to invest and hodl Bitcoin for long term, but later deviate from doing that in the long run. You may actually do the same; who knows? What the future holds for you and your Bitcoin investment every week

You can not take Bitcoin with you in your grave.  I mean.  You can, but you can not use it on the other side. So it happens that people need to sell or spend their Bitcoin to get some thing out of it.  Whether it is a house, a car, diamonds or to pay for a significant health bill.  It is great if you can keep on purchasing Bitcoin with out ever having to sell it, but many people can not.

You don't need to take your Bitcoin to the grave to prove anything as control of your coin can easily go to anyone to appointed but what we are talking here is how to accumulate it first. All agree that DCA can give you an edge to accumulate Bitcoin easier and over time have a worthwhile average cost notwithstanding the prices you have to buy at. Buying of a car, houses or diamond can actually wait and that does not mean you won't get to buy them.

Bitcoin is not an abstract thing we just continue to hold aimlessly without n exit plan as though we are just holding it as a means through which bitcoin existence will be guaranteed and regardless how much we talk more on buys more than sell, investing and profiting from bitcoin does not end with making your buys. you have to buy and also sell before we can say that we have completed an investor accumulation cycle.

death is inevitable so it is quite understandable when an investor dies suddenly and have to leave his asset behind. that is part of the reality that is associated with life and wether you are invested in bitcoin or in other things, when death calls, you are bent on leaving everything behind to answer that call. i am someone that likes the idea of long term investment approach but it should be doe with wisdom such that your being invested in bitcoin makes you better of than those that are not invested in it. you have to have an investment plan before that becomes possible.

Been meaning to write this down somewhere other than a notes app, so here goes. I'm not trying to time anything anymore, I spent enough years watching charts and guessing tops to know I'm not good at it. So the plan going forward is boring on purpose.

Fixed amount every week regardless of price, no pausing when it dips, no doubling up when it pumps. The whole point is removing my own judgement from the equation because my judgement is usually just fear or greed wearing a disguise. Self custody from day one, cold storage, and I'm treating every buy as basically gone the moment it lands in the wallet, not something I check daily.

This is a very smart move and plan because not all investors think this way and actually put this plan into reality.
You’ve done well by coming up with this plan, 10years is s good long term duration for a successful investor and I hope as you’ve set the mindset to do this, you should remain consistent and not give up because your consistency will be worth it in 10 years time.
Lastly, I hope you have a good cash inflow or income that will enable you meet your target and remain consistent every week?

Ten years is two cycles and half, and to me two cycles and half is real long-term hodling, I think your idea is very good, in Bitcoin investment, consistency matter a whole lot, for someone who has decided to hodl for a long-term, how consistent you boy and the amount you investment with will determine how much will be able to realize in the next Ten years, to successful as a Bitcoin investment, you've to be determined, the very best approach is using the DCA method to buy, get aggressive sometime, lump sum if when the amount to do that is available, infact do nog allow any buying opportunities to pass you by, before Ten to come, you would've accomplished you plan.

The answer you need from the question you asked is yes.

If following the 4-year cycle, that would be around 2 full cycle assuming that it will not be broken. Why not just hold it for 12 years to complete the 3 4-year cycle instead?

Looking at the strategy that you shared, that's the true definition of Dollar-Cost-Average, and you've said that you will put on a cold storage which is perfect. No problem when it comes to holding. Now the question is, "Is the holder ready to hold Bitcoins for 10-12 years without selling any Satoshi?" Are you ready to hold it even though you see your money already doubled or tripled in a shorter amount of time? Are you ready to see your unrealized profits vanish over time if you decide to hold it during the bear market because you would be given an opportunity to sell it during the bull run, but you decided to hold it? If yes, then I think you'll be just fine.

It doesn't make you the smartest man alive because anybody can just buy and hold Bitcoin for years. I would say though that if you manage to do this, I'll include you as one of the "most disciplined" investors that I've seen. You'll be added to the list of those OG Bitcoiners back in the day when they held their Bitcoin for more than a decade before selling it.

Bitcoin price is not even $40000 right now and no sign that bitcoin is going to that price again, so by 2036 which is next 10 years, be expecting bitcoin to have increased up to or more than $400000.

Does this makes me the smartest man alive?

Definitely. Bitcoin is a store of value and it is good for long term investment.

I will keep DCA monthly, if price hit above 400K I will be most grateful and be glad patience works.

It’s usually good to make plans for the future. But it’s one thing to make a plan and another thing to be dedicated to the plans and make it happen. It’s always easier to say that I will do this and I will do that, but only few has stand by those decisions to the later. For me, I don’t like making such a long term decisions anymore because my decision today might not be my decision in the next 3 to 5 years from now. Besides we are not promised tomorrow. So I would rather make a 5 years plan and see it out, and then know what next to do by that time, if I would continue for the next 5 or look at other things. There might be a new trend by that time of which I might want to adapt to. But if you can keep to your 10 years plan, I think it’s a good one.

10 years is such a good plan that it's hard to find anyone who actually consistently holds onto bitcoin for that long. Plus the growth of bitcoin continues to increase, it definitely takes a very educated mentality so as not to be tempted to sell.

You are no longer the smartest person if successful consistent bitcoin investment in 10 years, but rather a fairly rare person. The problem is what provisions are there to prepare and have to keep running the plan every week to spend money without ever missing 1 Week? and What kind of income have you been running?

I work and so I put a little percent of my early, nothing I will need immediately, So I'm seeing this as a form of savings that will of course increase over the years. I sold some BTC I got at 15K when it hit 100K,  but this time I want to hold for a decade and see where it leads me.

[Tiaramane]

I won't gaslight you but you're doing the right thing. Timing the market is what made a lot of people doubted the cycles will change in their favor as they wait. This time, no more waiting but more action. We have figured that out earlier than you but we're not claiming as the smartest, kidding aside. Just be consistent and people will say that you're a genius after a couple of years and I guess that it won't even take you long to recognized with that and that will be basing on the results that you'll be getting. We're all joining hands together, let people wait further at the price they want to buy but consistency beats proper timing IMO.

Agreed, people that think they might get the bottom will always FOMO in, I think the run has started already.

It is interesting to know you intend to fund this project from savings off your salary and while that is good and laudable, the 10 years span can put that approach to test. What if you are unable to work for sometime and what if there is economic hardship that you can no longer save?  I think having some investment, 5 to 10 years which returns now fund this scheme would be a greater idea.

[Nasdel4]

Not the smartest but at least you have a plan, the question is this "can you stick to this plan?
Investing is great but don't let it come in-between your needs and properly taking good care of yourself. The truth is that your ten years plan puts you ahead of most people who will be trying to predict price. Nobody can really predict the price in 2036 but if you can maintain this level of discipline, properly knowing how to secure your bitcoin and recovery phrase then your plan is good to go.
Just make sure you're not investing with your emergency money.

[Jaweria parveen]

It is a very good idea that you have considered that you are planning to hold Bitcoin for 10 years even if you have just bought it or want to buy it. However if you have started buying it is up to you whether you have bought Bitcoin all at once or will collect it gradually. DCA will do its best to support you in this situation because with this you will accumulate Bitcoin little by little and at the same time you will get profit which will improve your morale even more. Those who think for such a long time have a very big profit so you should work hard and do as much DCA as possible and be patient and forget about this strategy that you have kept Bitcoin and after wait for such a long time, you will get a good fruit and a great experience from it which will give a very good lesson to the people.

Investing and hodling bitcoin for long term is easier said than done, of course the goal is very much achievable but this will require some strategic planning to get it done. To invest for long term first you have to look into your financial position if it can carry out the plan and if not then work towards improving your finances and also when investing don’t allow greed to come in, always invest with what is within your financial means which is by using just a discretionary income to buy bitcoin regularly and having an emergency funds that will protect your investment during emergency situations.

Does this makes me the smartest man alive?

Remember that only a few people are able to hold it for 10 years, if you succeed in doing it consistently you are a person who has great determination and intention, regardless of the profits and losses you are a successful person, in bitcoin 90% you will get profit if you really do it for the next 10 years, lust is your biggest opponent during that time, think again before acting try it slowly maybe in 3 years it will be enough to prove yourself

[tabas]

Agreed, people that think they might get the bottom will always FOMO in, I think the run has started already.

It probably has started already when they have realized that the dip of this bear was already in. And they're missing the whole thing before this year ends. If they are not going to do anything at all, that's their problem of missing the opportunity right now. It's harder to do a FOMO when the price goes upwards and there's no stopping. Whilst if they're going to do the same reaction such as FOMOing right now, they've got a better entry.

[Patrol69]

Some people realize their mistakes early and some people realize their mistakes too late. I think most of the newbies get involved in trading when they first invest, I am clearly telling you why they get involved in trading.
For example, a new person whose plan is to invest in Bitcoin and according to that plan, first bought some amount of Bitcoin, after buying some amount of Bitcoin, he kept waiting for the market to increase and after his wait, the market increased a little, then he saw that there was some change in the current price from the price he bought, that is, he is seeing some profit, but he cannot control himself, but he sells his investment at that time, so he plans to invest, but his activities are like trading. But it does not end there, after that he buys again but every time the market does not change as expected, so he feels a lot of frustration and a lot of pressure, as a result of which he cannot take any decision correctly. 

Therefore, in a new situation, I should start investing with a plan that allows me to buy the minimum amount if needed, but still be able to hold on to whatever I buy for a long time.

[Popkon6]

If you want to invest in Bitcoin, you should do it for a long time, because long-term investment can bring you more benefits. So, the longer the Bitcoin investment in the current position, the more profitable it will be, but over time, you will have to increase your investment plan, that is, the amount of investment. The higher your income level increases, the more you can look at Bitcoin investment, which will make your portfolio bigger and create opportunities for more benefits.
I like your investment strategy because it is Bitcoin investment according to the DCA method, if you follow this strategy, any investor will definitely be successful and his investment will be consistent.
