Does Buying Bitcoin Regularly Build Wealth or Just Build Confidence?

[Outhue]

I did develop confidence in Bitcoin after I noticed that it is really this useful, keeping my own money in Bitcoin wallet brings confidence and control with it, I like treating my Bitcoin wallet as my bank, nothing else feels better than this, and on the other side I feel better buying Bitcoin regularly knowing that I am building a better future for myself and my family, knowing that Bitcoin will have a valuable future is where the confidence comes from.

Basically, making a profit from Bitcoin investments isn’t my main goal, it’s just one of the benefits i might gain if i remain patient and consistently build my investment gradually over the long term. The main reason is that i genuinely love it, ever since i first learned about Bitcoin, it has made me want to keep learning more about it and continue following its developments to this day. Of course, who wouldn’t want to make a profit, but we have to think realistically, risks are always involved. You never truly know what the future holds, it’s all just speculation, and we can only hope things will turn out as we each expect. That’s why you also need to be wise in managing your finances, don’t put everything you have into Bitcoin. That’s not confidence, it’s foolishness, unless that money is really just leftover money.

DCA does not have to be everyday, you can buy every week or month. Just keep the frequency and amount regular and consistent. If you ate buying for roi you should be prepared to hodl for the long term depending on when you started buying and the average price you are at. If you're buying as a hedge against inflation for security, you get a deflationary asset that appreciates in value overtime.

To me the main thing is DCA is not quantity but consistency. Weekly versus monthly DCA could both work just depending on one's budget and money. The message is to have a plan and follow through regardless of what happens.

But keep in mind, DCA does not mean an investor will make money or Bitcoin will become less volatile. The average buying cost, how long investment periods last and the ability to hunker down during a long bear market are still important.

Moreover, I would also like to isolate saving strategies from long-term investments. Bitcoin can be used as a diversification instrument, but will be dangerous to keep all your savings in a very volatile coin.

Do you see buying Bitcoin every day as the way to actual finances growth or simply the one that makes you're feeling secure?

If you can invest daily, then why not?

Using DCA you can make the decision on when to purchase your BTC and everything will be dependant on your income. If you are the type of worker that receives daily pay and wish to invest into bitcoin daily then fine.

For me I will advice to choose something longer like weekly or monthly. So you have enough time to gather your investment money and not put pressure on yourself.

The question now is if this will have any effect on your financial growth. In a way it will but nothing is guaranteed in the crypto market. You just need to understand that there are lots of risk that comes with the market but in long term period those risk can become insignificant to what your profits scale might become.

Furthermore confidence needs to be addressed in these circumstances. Although the investor is probably likely to exercise restraint because he/she has developed a specific routine, he/she still needs to be confident as there is knowledge of the risks involved.

I agree with you bro, we should not expect daily buying habits as a guarantee of wealth. Even if DCA is a proven method to accumulate Bitcoin in a managed way, we still have to consider how much we should invest and when to stop. But first, we need to know what we expect from the investment.

Your post successfully distinguishes that DCA is just a strategy, not used for guaranteed returns, even if many say eventually or one day people will be in profit. Even those who bought at $126k will be too. Don't listen to them, do your own analysis every time.

Regularly buying Bitcoin is often seen as a simple method that will lead to future prosperity and wealth. Rather than trying to predict at each moment and speculate buying or selling at a right time, the person makes a choice and always buys some of the asset.

However, even if the investor buys Bitcoins on a daily basis, he/she will not build any fortune. This is an extremely unstable digital currency and putting money into it day by day without any knowledge of the limits of personal finances is risky.

As far as I'm concerned, this idea of consistency is worth anything only if patience, money planning and rational expectations stand behind it.

I don't think anyone actually buys Bitcoin on daily basis, and we are not talking about the trader here.

People do that on weekly or monthly basis but it doesn't mean they build a routine and can't give up after doing it for a whiole, because we are talking about money here and anyone who thinks of themselves as an investor wants to get returns from their investment.

And the amount trhey buy matters here, if someone is buying $10 worth of btc everyday then it is good and it may not make them much but over the period of 5 or 10 years I am sure they will have accumulated a decent amount.

[Donk1]

Well I personally do not remember Bitcoin being unstable, though you should probably try doing more research on terms in Bitcoin. That aside I said something today in a previous thread, which was no matter how you see it, an asset is often measured by its worth, potential,trust,and utility. If Bitcoin wasn't a store of value then there had been no massive adoption,so security is just personal responsibility that every crypto enthusiast should know before entering the space. And while investing in Bitcoin helps protect our funds from inflation, its utility is all tied together you can't prioritize one without the other. So it's easy to say everyone wants make profits from their investments and Bitcoin being a volatile asset / store of value,and on top of it, it often protects our funds too. So that's just it.......

Are you talking about the DCA strategy? Most probably. It's on a daily basis or regularly bought, which means it’s a DCA strategy. Then yes, it’s been building your wealth, and at the same time, you are securing your assets. When the price pumps, then it will build the wealth. In case of a dump, you have to wait, but still your Bitcoin is more secure than the traditional banking system compared to fiat.

For me, I am regularly accumulating Bitcoin instead of investing daily. I believe not many people purchase Bitcoin on a daily basis, but there would regularly be buyers who have been doing DCA. My aim is to get a handsome profit from my accumulation. Not thinking to sell recently unless I need urgent money.

I see bitcoin investment as a way of storing my money, since am always buying investing with the money which I know I won’t be using within a short period of time. I already have confidence in bitcoin already, and I know if I invest now, am not going to make profits instantly, it’s going to take some time, so am just investing for the future purpose.

I did develop confidence in Bitcoin after I noticed that it is really this useful, keeping my own money in Bitcoin wallet brings confidence and control with it, I like treating my Bitcoin wallet as my bank,

I feel more secured when I leave my money in bitcoin investment, I know am the controlling my money, nobody has access to it, I won’t wake up in a day, and see some crazy messages from my bank. Either am using my bank or not, they still charge me for maintenance and some other crazy things which doesn’t make any sense. It’s just better I leave my money in my wallet.

[Natalim]

You won't feel any security if you aren't seeing financial growth in your finances, so clearly buying bitcoin regularly is one way to build wealth, most especially if you are entering the perfect market entry when the market is certainly bearish and make maximum initial purchase of bitcoin. Security and confidence only follow.

Bitcoin being unstable is part of having a volatile nature. However, we all know volatility isn't a threat here but the biggest asset of bitcoin why it reached significant all time highs.

Yep, having fullcontrol over your own money through selfcustody is genuinely way more comforting and confidence boosting.

But I think it's a bit onesided to say banks only bring unnecessary trouble and ridiculous fee. They are businesses, we are paying for the services they provide. Fees are normal.

Also, keeping Bitcoin in a non custodial wallet might be free. But you are also fully responsible for your own fund and you still have to pay network fees when you make transactions. Its not 100% free like you make it sound.

I don't think regularly buying Bitcoin builds confidence; rather, it is the understanding one has towards Bitcoin that brings confidence in the way they buy Bitcoin regularly.

It's easy to send money for buying bitcoin at one time and many people join Bitcoin market very easily this way, but by lack of knowledge about Bitcoin fundamentals, the Bitcoin market history, Bitcoin psychological pitfalls of market cycle, and investment in general, they turn too uncertain and panic sell later.

People who actually manage to buy bitcoin regularly, do bitcoin purchases many times, are kind of very different. I believe such people already did enough due diligent research about these aforementioned things, they did not lack of these things, and they are truly Bitcoin investors with solid knowledge foundation and strong belief in Bitcoin future.

Just like someone who has the mentality of investing in Bitcoin to become rich, because of this understanding which they have towards Bitcoin, they feel motivated to buy Bitcoin regularly, to the extent of buying with an amount they can’t afford to lose. What one knows about Bitcoin can bring confidence in buying it.

Understanding about Bitcoin fundamentals, and Bitcoin market history is very good but mastering psychology of market cycle is important because we are all human, and as investors we have emotion and psychology which can be affected by market volatility, fuds, and market maker's manipulations.

Buying Bitcoin regularly is a great way to build wealth over time. By investing consistently you don’t have to worry about picking the perfect time to buy. If Bitcoin continues to grow and adoption increases, those small regular purchases could become something much bigger in the future.

It’s not about getting rich overnight. It’s about building a position, staying patient and letting time work in your favour.

[serjent05]

Do you see buying Bitcoin every day as the way to actual finances growth or simply the one that makes you're feeling secure?

Both, I feel it leads to actual growth and makes me feel secure.  When we see our funds increasing in value, our confidence grows. 

Storing Bitcoin that literally increases in value over time is an actual and realistic form of financial growth, especially these past days. If we start accumulating when Bitcoin goes down to sub-$60k, we can visually see the financial growth at this moment.  With an increase in our holding value, confidence piles up, and for sure this buildup of confidence makes us feel more secure.

Yes, if we do not see Bitcoin as a profitable asset but as an asset of the future, then it can definitely be a very good decision for us. Because right now we can see how transactions and acceptance of Bitcoin are increasing through Bitcoin. After seeing everything, the current demand and the strong network of Bitcoin, it certainly seems that Bitcoin will transform into a better asset than gold and other valuable assets in the future.

Every person wants financial freedom and in the future we may see every person using Bitcoin for this financial freedom. Because Bitcoin gives us complete freedom in financial management. If we keep our assets in Bitcoin, then we can definitely consider ourselves like a bank and we can easily transact or save our money without anyone's intervention.

Buying bitcoin regularly and gradually with time is very good for accumulation and building up our bitcoin portfolios but it's possible for us to withdraw our profit from Bitcoin portfolios gradually with time too. Surely buying needs to be done more regularly than withdrawals over time.

People are more familiar with buying regularly by DCA strategy but if they want to explore about gradual withdrawals with time, they can check this method from JayJuanGee JJG and bitmover

I agree with your point. Big capital means big gains on investing on crypto. At our current price, expecting a 2-3x on the next bull market is entirely possible but it won't make you rich if you only have small bags.

And people who hold a lot of bitcoin that if Bitcoin does a 3x, they will be rich are already rich right now. If a person holds $500k worth of bitcoin today, then that person is already rich as it is, because a person who was not rich would not be able to afford that amount of BTC. So when Bitcoin does a 3x, and he gets about $1.5 million, Bitcoin didn't make him rich because he was already rich.

This topic will be received differently if this topic was posted 12 years ago.

I guess. 12 years ago, Bitcoin was not worth trillions of dollars, but now, it moves more slowly than it used to and as time goes on, it will become slower. So it is more difficult for Bitcoin to make you rich now. Besides, if you want to get rich in the next 20 years, you would look for other thing sthat can give you money instead of just investing in Bitcoin and waiting to get wealth from it in 20 years.

The biggest advantage of buying Bitcoin regularly is that it turns investment decisions into a continuous process. It is not possible to know exactly when the market will be at its lowest or when it will be best to buy. Many times, it is not possible to start investing every time you wait for the bottom. If you buy regularly and within your means according to a specific plan, the pressure of determining that time is greatly reduced. The price of Bitcoin can fluctuate greatly even over a long period of time. The purpose of buying regularly is to create a position according to the plan despite these volatility. It is not to change the decision every time you see the market situation. If someone plans to pour in a larger amount of money after each decline, it can no longer be called a regular DCA. The future value of Bitcoin is not certain and past growth does not guarantee future results. A reasonable approach is to regularly invest a portion of the surplus income that remains after meeting your necessary expenses and other financial obligations.

Every responsible individual knows what they want, just like the wealthy knows the right place to invest. Investing in bitcoin takes someone who gets his money in bulk, not the average. You mentioned day-to-day which sounds like a lie but I’ll just take that to be an illustration.

Buying bitcoin regularly without a vice versa in selling builds both wealth and confidence. This is because, you are actually stacking assets which will in turn build wealth if not sold. The thing called passive wealth was born from a patient investment and regular thriving. So if someone has enough to keep investing, there is nothing wrong with that it is basically knowing at the door of wealth.

Confidence comes in when you have gathered enough from the little regular droppings. The confidence that comes with knowing that; your offspring’s ain’t starting from scratch even if your company or existing business crashes.

Where you will get it wrong is where you look past your basic needs, fiat expenditures and fiat savings and give it all to investing in bitcoin. You will definitely be juggling buying and selling like a regular entrepreneur. And aswell panic will always rise during market dips.
Everything requires discipline, and your finance needs more of it.

Does it build wealth ?

Obviously it does. Just look at bitcoin price trajectory and you will understand that if you would have bought bitcoin regularly then you would have definitely ended up in good profits.
It obviously depends on the amount of money you are depositing into bitcoin. You can't put it in $10 a month and expect to build a fortune out of it.

Bitcoin value and price grow with time but it does not mean if you bought bitcoin, you will automatically become richer and get better wealth. It depends on what you did, how you treat your bitcoin, as a gamble, an investment for long term, or for trading. What you do after buying bitcoin will decide whether you can build up your wealth with Bitcoin or only use it as a medium tool for something else such as payment, trading or bets.

There are even things you need to prepare before buying bitcoin for your investment portfolio because it decides whether you will be able to hold your bitcoin, even in emergency situations.

From the context of this post, it most probably means buying bitcoin for long term investment.
Why else would anybody buy bitcoin on regular basis if not for long term investment ?
One can argue that they might buy it for trading as well but traders usually keep rotating their capital instead of buying frequently.
