Topic: Buy the DIP, and HODL! - page 308. (Read 137374 times)

I invested $100 before registering on this forum. $100 is a big amount for me, $100 is more than ৳10000 in local currency of our country. I have learned a lot since I registered in this forum. I didn't know what the DCA method was before. I came to know about DCA method from this forum and started investing in DCA method. The amount of bitcoins I have accumulated now, I would not have been able to invest together. But after investing in DCA method I became successful. My plan is to continue investing in the DCA approach for the long term.

I agree with you about having an additional income or having a major source of income if you want to apply the DCA method

DCA method is mainly for rich and poor and all types of people who will mainly participate in trading need this method. If you invest in this method, the investment is successful, because I help myself. I have been using this method for a long time of 1 year and 3 months. I have moved towards a successful journey. So this method is a good method for all investors, because those who learn to invest using this method, will not hire Arabic using any other method. You too invest using this method and you will see that the future journey will be successful and you will be able to complete the investment yourself. Usually in Bitcoin investing using the DCA method plays a major role in controlling the average price.

I hate to be repeating myself, but sometimes it seems to be necessary when members seem to be misstating some of the central things of what DCA accomplishes.. which is a kind of allowance for a guy to accumulate BTC based on his own budget.

So BTC is helping the guy to be as whimpy or as aggressive as he would like to be in terms of managing his budget and figuring out how much he can put into BTC on a weekly basis or whatever period that he is employing his BTC (DCA) purchases.

I doubt that DCA is controlling the average price, even though when you continue to buy BTC, you are going to end up having an average BTC price that may be higher or lower than other methods that you could have accomplished the same thing, so you are not necessarily advantaged so much in terms of whatever you average cost per BTC ends up being, but you are way the fuck more advantaged because you are likely to have had been able to stack way more BTC than you would have been able to stack with those other methods because frequently guys can have either psychological obstacles and/or even financial obstacles if they are trying to engage in either lump sum investing or buying on the dips, even assuming that they would be able to either have such lump sum available or would be able to set aside dollars (or other fiat) to be able to buy on the dips, even if that might be advantageous as a separate rather than a supplemental strategy to DCA.

In other words, there are a whole hell of a lot of folks who may have had some real difficulties to be able to accomplish some kind of reasonable, substantial and/or meaningful amount of BTC if they had followed some other method.. which is part of the power of DCA, especially for folks who end up benefiting by the structured persistence of such, even if they might also have the talents, time and/or resources to carry out the other two strategies... and they are likely even more empowered, if they are able to figure out ways to carry out all three... with more of an emphasis on DCA when they are in their earliest of times because it is such a practical approach that applies to a large variety of situations. even those who might start out with a considerably-sized lump sum amount.

     Actually, this DAC has been an effective method for most of the communities in the field we live in, and it has been proven by most of them. All that is needed is that we have a plan for why we will do it. And that plan will motivate us to persevere in saving for the future.

     Even rich people are doing this because they see that DCA is really proven and tested. If Bitcoin or cryptocurrency has not yet been created, we are already doing this to people all over the world, if we call it future savings, right?

There is no guarantee about that happiness even though we in are bullish trend, many we still fall a victim of being scammed and many might probably become overly greedy enough not to sell too soon and end up selling at lost while waiting for a multiple x and at some point those that also sell too soon might also be in deep regrets when there is a multiple x after they have sold, the truth is that there is no way we can compare Bitcoin to shitcoins.

Just make sure that when you DCA, you're not spending the money that you're going to use for your food or utilities.

That's the reason why it is important to consider as well on what kind of money you'll use as you DCA. But some investors goes to the tough path and they're spending money that's allotted into something important but they are sacrificing that expenses to buy Bitcoin.

But don't do that, it's why we're all advising everyone to have some other source of income and only invest what you can afford to lose.

DCAing don't really matter if the market is high or low, so you don't have to wait till the market value goes down before investing. I agree with you about having an additional income or having a major source of income if you want to apply the DCA method, however making one big investment too is another strategy which is mostly the long sum method, which for me I believe is for people that have the purchasing powers to do so, however the whole idea is to best use a strategy that suits your income.

Better $10 a week for bitcoin than $5 for shitcoin which is just gambling capital.
Shitcoin is only a moment maybe only now is bullish trend back up those who trade shitcoin will be happy but there is a negative side where when the narrative is dead all shitcoin will have no value.

I agree with some opinions about DCA where there is nothing you need to think about other than your focus on buying Bitcoin on an ongoing basis where you buy BTC regularly every week. No need to do it aggressively but just adjust it to the same budget as you did for your first purchase. With DCA, you don't need to worry about the price going down because while you are still in the accumulation stage, the price drop is a big enough opportunity to continue buying Bitcoin.

You can focus on investment targets every year because I have implemented this where the first year goes quite smoothly and that way we can focus on the following year. Bitcoin can change your life if you are smart in investing in Bitcoin. The meaning of being smart is holding it for the long term without being burdened by thoughts that haunt you.

It is the essence of the focus with which they are able to achieve satisfying ownership in the journey they undertake. There are no obstacles for us to follow the steps that people have done before we started. They are determined to continue buying and regardless of the price they have a focus on continuing to accumulate Bitcoin. Apart from that, if for now it is of course $10 per week we need a lot of time to reach 1 Btc which means we need to make 6870 purchases if I calculate it at the current price.

But it's just a matter of time because if we increase to $20 it will certainly be faster to reach 1 BTC. But previously I said that we invest in a relaxed manner without any burden on our minds, so in these words we only need to be consistent in making purchases every week.

Traders can never be considered as an investor because they don't hold a particular asset for long because they are there moving their assets from exchange to exchange seeking for coin and shitcoin to buy that could possibly give them 2x 10x, and possibly 100x within the period of their investments. They don't care if bitcoin gets whatever amount what they think is the little profits they scratching up from their trade, and of course the best assets to hold is bitcoin currently they won't know what they are doing because they thought price of bitcoin could continue to be this cheaper as they think, and the best place to sink their capital is bitcoin.

Plus it's also very important for the newbies to know that it's better to concentrate all of their capital on one asset that's NEVER going to go away, and that's Bitcoin. Those "traders" who buy and sell different altcoins/shitcoins will definitely have a harder time finding which narrative is the current one to "trade" because the market this cycle is VERY dispersed. There's simply more and more cryptocurrencies and tokens listed in more and more exchanges, centralized and decentralized, under different sectors.

Because it is so dispersed, I believe it might make many of them surge in smaller and shorter durations.

Even a guy investing $10 per week since October 1, 2013 might feel that he does not have enough BTC, but he is in a real good place, since he had invested nearly $5.7k and he has nearly 7.1 BTC.

And the guy investing $100 per week over the last 6 years does not have as many BTC as the guy who started in 2016, but he is in a better position for having had invested into BTC, and he invested $31.4k and he has nearly 2.54 BTC.. still not a bad place to be, but he might feel that he does not have enough, and he likely is not going to catch up to the guy who started in 2013 with only $10 per week.

No one can really tell us where we are going and how long it might take for any of us to feel satisfied with our BTC investment, even thought there surely remains quite a bit of potential value in getting started sooner rather than later, and with the passage of time, BTC's investment thesis is not getting any weaker.

Exactly.  There is a need to stay focused, because whether you are able to invest $10 per week or $100 per week, you are going to really end up diluting your investment if you are fucking around with various shitcoins that may or may not perform.. and the chances of them performing is surely not good.. especially if we consider both upside and downside.. and if we consider places to invest for the longer term such as 4-10 years or even longer.

Yet many are glad they got into crypto because investing in Bitcoin was a turning point for them financially, one of the best decisions they ever made. Bitcoin investing must have a strategy, if you don't have a strategy and randomly start investing in the Bitcoin market, you will face losses in the future. If you are waiting for the market to go down a lot, invest when the market is going down, you can't really tell when the opportunity will come. If you plan to invest DCA in Bitcoin long term you need to have an additional source of income. If you don't have an additional source of income then at some point you can leave the investment. DCA investing is where you spread your purchases over time rather than making one big investment. It will help you in timing the market and the risk of the market getting high. 

If you consistently buy bitcoins at different prices you can recoup your investment costs.

Buy more when the market goes down and invest less when the market goes up

and continue for the long term with patience. Hold your Bitcoin tight and profit from it in the future.

Undoubtedly, your mentality is a big factor in investing in Bitcoin. Then here the extra money acts as the driving force.It is inevitable that the provider of money and its collective income should come from a certain source. Investment depends on your income per month.If you do not have enough income as an individual, what do you deposit? What's the point if you have a lot of desire but no money? Would you borrow the money and invest in Bitcoin? If you want to, that's a different matter.
There are many talented investors who could not develop their talent in the market due to lack of money. So I would say it is very important to have enough money supply with investing mentality will to invest in Bitcoin.
