Strategy keeps buying while others fear

[Baki202]

I would definitely agree with this as investment strategy however if you get caught on the wrong side of Bitcoin then you could lose out. You should only really invest money that you can leave for several years. If you really believe in Bitcoin as a long term investment but run out of money then you might have to sell it at a low point. It is very important to know how long you are investing your money for and having enough emergency savings.

And what wrong side of Bitcoin are you talking about? Because, if I'm not mistaken, you are talking about the dip, and the best thing would have been you buying the dip, which is for those with the intention of holding for a long time, and when you do that, then it is more of an advantage than seeing it as the wrong side, because the intention of buying the dip means a long-time investment, it won't even get to the point where you will have to sell anything when you do the right thing buy having your emergency funds.

People choose to ignore the emergency funds that is why they end up selling because they have refused to listen to guidelines because as an holder your emergency is very important and even for those that have the intention, definetly is going to be different with some one with the intention of holding for a short time. even if you dont have enough emergency saving you can always top it up any day any time.

If you are talking about the bear market of Bitcoin as the "wrong side of Bitcoin", I think it is easy to fix, after all, the decisions on our Bitcoin investment is our own.  So I won't actually call it the wrong side of Bitcoin but rather a wrong move by the investors.  Bear markets always happen, and selling during those times and calling it the wrong side of Bitcoin is simply excusing ourselves from the foolish action we made.  Why sell at the bottom when we can just wait for the market to uptrend?

That's impatient and being uninformed about the trend of the market.  If we knew that the market will uptrend next month or next year, we won't be selling our investment unless money is really badly needed.

I know that hacks cause panic, especially when you have money invested in the affected site, but that's no reason to abandon your investment and withdraw it just out of panic. If it happens, it's because the person's conviction about the investment isn't strong enough.Fear is one of the reasons why many people sell unnecessarily. Selling our BTC just out of panic isn't a good business decision, in my opinion. It doesn't make much sense. Dangers will always exist, but the effort to invest in BTC for the future is lost due to fear, and that's not what we're aiming for.

Every negative news about bitcoin brings fear and panic to investors not because they do not believe in bitcoin or they do not know that the market will bounce back after there is a little dip caused by the hack but because some of the people who are rushing to pull out their money do not have the intention of investing for long term so they are scared of the money dropping off completely due to the price at which they see bitcoin. You will never see old investors in the setting of selling their bitcoin because of panic but those who normally rush to sell their bitcoin are those who invested for faster profit they do not expect to meet any danger they just want to make fast investment and fast money off it.

On the one hand, the actions of these major investors can indeed restore people’s confidence to keep buying, but on the other hand, I also see that they seem to be taking advantage of small investors’ panic to buy at lower pricesthat makes sense, doesn’t it? 

Yes, it can actually encourage some people to stay trusting with bitcoin and hold their coins longer, but those weak hands will have their own ways of exiting the market because for them its the only way to cut their losses. And this where big whales like Strategy can take advantage of the market situation wherein they will buy other people's coins at a cheaper price.

''Be greedy when others are fearful'' is a famous line by the known billionaire Warren Buffett, and this is what Strategy has been following so they can maximize their bitcoin portfolio even at a short period of time.

With Bitcoin and its amazing growth with time, if people can hold their bitcoin in many years, 5 years or longer, or some market cycles, their Investment portfolio's ROI would be very good. This hodl map can inspire many people to start their Bitcoin investment and keep hodling their bitcoins.

If Strategy won't adjust their strategies, and continue with leverages, I don't have belief in their financial safety in coming years. Bitcoin will almost certainly grow up more in value that will be reflected by price and trading volume but Strategy will have to pay high cost by liquidations if their leverage used goes uncontrolled.

even if you dont have enough emergency saving you can always top it up any day any time.

Not really. Whilst you can plan to save towards your emergency savings over time, you cannot guarantee you’ll have the opportunity to do so when faced with an unexpected job loss or cost. Therefore, it is important to have emergency savings in place before investing any money in Bitcoin. As you wouldn’t want to sell your Bitcoin if you had an emergency, particularly if it was during a bear market.

That's impatient and being uninformed about the trend of the market. We won't be selling our investment unless money is really badly needed.

This is exactly what I am talking about. If you run out of money and have no emergency fund you may have to sell your Bitcoin no matter how well you understand the market. Not everyone sells in a bear market because they are emotional. Sometimes there just isn’t any choice. So it is also important to make sure you have sufficient savings and a realistic investment time frame to ensure you believe in Bitcoins long term potential.

Artificial fear often lies behind reports of hacking or other negative news. Succumbing to this fear means missing out on key market opportunities. While investing in crypto or any other digital asset inherently carries risk, the level of fear can be significantly reduced by carefully considering one's personal risk tolerance beforehand. Those who adopt a long term perspective view temporary market downturns or security related crises as a normal part of the process.

That’s not the problem. If there are people who learn about Bitcoin and go on to buy it and manage it with their private keys because they watched one of Saylor’s talks, so much the better. What’s actually happening is quite the opposite: Saylor is on track to accumulate a million Bitcoin, and people who could have bought Bitcoin to manage it with their own keys are buying his products instead.

On top of that, the flagship product he’s trying hardest to promote—STRC—is the exact opposite of what Bitcoin was created for: it centralizes a massive amount of Bitcoin and prints unlimited debt-based products based on it. Just like central banks, which hold gold reserves and print money without limit—but you can't redeem it for gold.  And if you’d at least say that this is why the price has skyrocketed, well, we’d still be happy with that—but not even that, because Bitcoin's returns since those massive purchases have been rather poor. Decentralization in terms of ownership has been sacrificed for nothing.

I, you, and maybe a few others understand what's really going on, but most of those who see Saylor as a positive person aren't really that different from him, except of course that they don't have the same money as him. For him, the goal is to have as much BTC as possible, for those who follow him, the goal is just for the price to be as high as possible one day so they can profit.

However, in the end, I think that this whole story cannot end positively - because at some point that company (with or without Saylor) will change its "strategy", which means that it will start selling its coins. So many coins in the possession of one company is a problem no matter how you look at it.

I, you, and maybe a few others understand what's really going on, but most of those who see Saylor as a positive person aren't really that different from him, except of course that they don't have the same money as him.

If they consider Saylor as their idol and want to leverage their Bitcoin "game" similarly, they will face with bigger risk than Saylor and Strategy. Because individually they're unable get extra capital for deleverage and risk like Strategy can do, and individual investors if have bad risk management will be more vulnerable than institutional investors.

For him, the goal is to have as much BTC as possible, for those who follow him, the goal is just for the price to be as high as possible one day so they can profit.

It's only helpful for him and his company if they can keep their bitcoin safely while if accumulating more bitcoin does not lead to be able to hold more bitcoin a long time, it's non sense. If they get liquidation or have to sell their bitcoin with loss, their leveraging accumulation is a bad decision from their company.

Who have gained a good knowledge of Bitcoin do not waste time with the price of Bitcoin, but they plan how to make their holdings bigger. When the market moves in the negative direction, they rather take that time as a bigger opportunity and strengthen their holdings as much as possible from that big drop. Strategy is constantly strengthening their holdings and this trend continues. Even if the investors follow Strategy, those who are afraid will get impressions.

There are some investors who try to profit from Bitcoin's volatility. But when they are uncertain about the market movement, instability arises in them. In investing in Bitcoin, the chances of short-term investors losing are much higher, on the contrary, for those who plan for the long term holding, their profit potential will increase, even if they lose in the short term.

So many coins in the possession of one company is a problem no matter how you look at it.

Well, after years of Saylor saying “never sell your Bitcoin,” the company sold several times. Then he changed the slogan to “buy more Bitcoin than you sell,” but at this point he has contradicted himself so many times that it’s clear it will do whatever suits it best at the time if he thinks it can yield a greater profit—not because he’s thinking about doing good for humanity or anything like that.

Well, I don't blame bitcoiners that rush to release their bitcoin for the purpose of panic of scammers because some got panic base on the information that is spreading and they don't want to get involve than to sell not to loss capital, but if you are using good wallet to hold your bitcoin and you follow the due procedure to store the seed phrase in a safe place, I think it will be difficult for scammers to have access to your coins and even though they have access, it may be someone that is living in that house with you that know where you save or store the seed phrase..

Choosing the right wallet for holding Bitcoin is definitely the first thing to consider, and the more secure the Seed Phrase, the more secure your wallet will be. But apart from that, like maintaining the continuity of Bitcoin purchases, it is only possible to do it patiently and is best suited for patient people, you have invested in Bitcoin and if you cannot hold it for a long time with patience, you will not be able to get the right profit from it.
Then if you give up your Bitcoin holding during a small Bitcoin price correction, it will be the biggest loss for you, so maintaining the continuity of Bitcoin purchases and holding Bitcoin for the next few years. Then this will be the best strategy if you can hold Bitcoin for the next few years correctly.

[SamReomo]

While some sold their Bitcoins due to the recent hacks, Strategy continues to be aggressive with buying, adding another 811 BTC worth $65.5 million.

MS is highly into Bitcoin and he will keep buying Bitcoin no matter how advance AI related hacks take place. Their aggressive accumulation will continue for long term until they reach 1 million Bitcoin and I think before that they won't stop no matter if the market goes up or down.

Their goal is to accumulate as much Bitcoin from the circulating supply as they possibly can and I believe if things go well for them and somehow they reach 2 million Bitcoin range and if Bitcoin reaches and crosses $1 million then they'll be among the top 10 richest companies of the world.

In the Bitcoin and crypto market, one must make up their mind to understand that there will be occurrences that can affect the movement of the market, and if they happen, there is no need to panic but to take advantage of the opportunities. The fact is that bad news will definitely take place, and as an investor, if you are not prepared for it, then it means you will definitely miss a lot of opportunities to buy Bitcoin when the market dips significantly.

[Proty]

The fact that strategy is still accumulating bitcoin even after the binance hack shows that they are still ongoing with their long term strategy.However, it will be wrong for investors to think that the market is going to recover because of this . Investors financial situation is not the same  likewise their ability to withstand risk. The most important thing is having a clear plans and knowing why you are holding bitcoin for a long term. Investor should always avoid making investment decisions based on market sentiment as the market will not always go in the same direction or the way they expected.

[DiMarxist]

If there is one company that understand Bitcoin and is really interested in holding and investing in Bitcoin is strategy. Off recent alot of criticism has come the way of strategy due to the amount of Bitcoin that they have sold off but, these types of move from strategy only goes to show how serious that the company is when it comes to their long term Bitcoin holding capacity. There should be no reason to fear because of a hack, which should discourage anyone from buying further Bitcoin. That is not a good idea that, strategy is not moved by what is happening should be a big lesson to as many that has interest in Bitcoin.

You're right, and a large percentage of traders prefer short-term trading, which is what they struggle to accept. Seeing the price in USD drop causes stress. It's not unreasonable; I'd be stressed too. But it's proven that the best strategy is to hold BTC, buy when the price falls, and be patient. Bitcoin always goes up in price; there's always a reason to believe in Bitcoin.

Those seeking quick profits with BTC face a higher risk because they start making many trades, which can lead to more losses.

Holding bitcoin for long period of time is the best and profitable strategy but nowadays people don’t want to sacrifice that much of a time for bitcoin because they are open up to fast money and bigger money within short period of time and they approach bitcoin in that manner hoping for that results but bitcoin doesn’t appreciate those that doesn’t hold it for long much and sometimes it doesn’t appreciate at all not even a little but those that hold for a long term have higher chances of making good profits from it so we should consider being part of it.

[Iamgoat]

Some investors sold out of fear, because they use normal wallets that can be hacked, not because of Bitcoins price but because of the safety of their holding, meanwhile strategy buys more, it could be that they don't use regular wallets like these or they are even probably on self custody, and if that is the case there is nothing they have to be afraid of, so they can buy more.

Hackers mostly operate like a thieves where they know and want to take possession of what belongs to you to become theirs through manipulation and outsmarting of the original owners to now acquire it and make use of it as though it is their sweat yet it is not . In 2026 the people go as far as creating fake AI agents and replicas they present to people just to steal from the rightful person. Phishing with AI has been taken to a different level of scale while detection of these malicious attacks and software made very easy and simplified now unlike it was in the past where you practically find it difficult to know a scam site or not.
