I think everyone already knows that the rules of engagement in investments to be profitable are to buy at low prices and wait to sell at high prices,

That sounds more like one possible trading strategy Which is a very wrong approach in Bitcoin investment. You are apparently saying that you are to buy at low price and sell when price is high and then buy back again when it is low, this may result you being out of the the market for long periods of time, reason being that there is no certainty that you are going to see the expected low price to buy back because the market condition can possibly be in an upward trends for so long and you will be left out not have Bitcoin in your portfolio or you may end up buying higher than your selling point.

For instance, saying that you bought at $45k and sold at $65k and the price then stays between $65k and $70k or more upwards for months or years or forever. That means you will end up not buying or buy at a price higher than your selling point.

At some point you can get sell off your investment to meet up certain demand, but it's always advisable to hodl unto your investment in other to have a full rewards.
There must be a source of income to be successful in Bitcoin investment, you must have a stable source of income that will accompany you to your destination.

It has been severally said that every kind of investment comes with certain level of preparedness where there must be a provisional emergency, reserved and float funds to take care of your daily upkeep and unplanned expenses in other not to retard the growth of your investment or completely selling it off too soon.
You got it rightz having a steady cash follow that take cares of your expenses is jey to growth of investment and portfolio and that is why we always say that bitcoin investment ahould be done based on left over cash or money that you dont have any needs for 8n a long time from now, take those who dip into their investment qhen the price of Bitcoin started to pick at $45,000, thinking that is the highest Bitcoin will go at this time, but seeing that Bitcoin is about to break the all time high price it hard in previous year, so that is a shot on the leg.

Most of us commit such investment blunders and to which we have not learned our lesson to always buy low and hold for a long while before conversion,  a situation that sees us to making good and sustainable profits along the line, we need to make adequate preparation tto accumulate more bitcoin and spend less of it holdle is the way up and not cashing out.

Simply put, bitcoin accumulation is for everyone but not everyone has a good balance regarding financial matters, there are some of them who have an income that is only enough to meet their needs and there are also those who have some money from the rest of their needs, and the second point I mentioned that has the opportunity to start engaging in bitcoin accumulation, none other than because after all, life needs are the most important and must be prioritized aside from the desire to engage in bitcoin accumulation. As you said that it is recommended to use the remaining money from all the needs that have been met first, and this situation is a safer situation for someone to engage in bitcoin accumulation. On the other hand by looking at the current bitcoin price situation, I think we all agree that bitcoin will be able to break the previous ATH.

I think everyone already knows that the rules of engagement in investments to be profitable are to buy at low prices and wait to sell at high prices, but the problem is that not everyone is able to be patient to really wait for the highest price that can really provide significant benefits, in some cases many of them are too fast in terms of taking profits, one of the causes may be the "worry" within themselves which ultimately makes them make the decision to cash out early. But actually concern is a natural feeling for all investors because investment not only provides profit opportunities but also has the possibility of risks that cannot always be avoided completely, everyone has a sense of concern but not everyone has a broad understanding and insight into the potential of bitcoin itself so maybe that's what makes them make decisions too early in terms of taking advantage.

You are missing the expression, which is the best time to buy was yesterday, and the second best time is today..

Yeah I thought of it too but I choose to write it that way because I believe  yesterday  is a past which can't be reversed so all chance given by yesterday are gone.
However, today offers a new chance  for who are willing to take it and which might be better than tomorrow because no one can predict tomorrow,  I had to cut out yesterday  and replace it with today as today will later becomes a tomorrow  Smiley
You are seeing it from the angle of motivational speakers instead of facing reality. The statement is not supposed to be difficult to understand neither does it mean you have to dwell in regrets for not buying yesterday. Rather it is simply saying that the more you delay buying Bitcoin, the less the opportunity of getting it at lower price is. Some people got Bitcoin when it was below $1k, some got it when it was below $10k, those are the people who bought yesterday which was the best time to buy. Now we have the chance of getting it below $100k, the second best time to buy so the question is are you buying now or waiting to buy at post $100k? It will surely get to that price in a matter of time so we have to use the opportunity we have now wisely.
People neglect this fact of time wasted can not be recovered and missing the chances of buying from the DIP, may only amount to purchasing in a much higher price. It becomes a matter of buy now or buy later with a much higher allocated funds and getting lower amount of Bitcoin. Many people are already speculating the price of Bitcoin to hit a minimum of $100k, so who knows the actual possibility of it happening, it all indicates we running out of time to maximize our profits from investing now yet below the ATH.

It is likely that we will have some kind of a meaningful/significant correction prior to breaching $100k, but it is not a condition precedent. .meaning that it is not a prerequisite that we get meaningful/significant correction prior to breaching $100k... and also getting above $100k does not mean that we will stay above it, but it also does not mean that we have to correct back below it... .. even though it would be quite surprising to NOT have a least a few runs past $100k and crossing over a few times prior to getting above it and staying above it and then maybe coming back to challenge it later down the road.. and none of those waves are guaranteed as to how much UP we necessarily need prior to a correction and how much buy support is able to keep up with UPwards price movements, if they are going to continue.
I believe strongly on this speculation and I think staying above the  $100k price is/maybe guaranteed due to the latest adoption, as long people keep buying it's pretty much possible to stay up above the $100k, I knew for sure we were only facing market corrections. Bitcoin hitting the $61k price yet before the halving is a no big joke, certainly we can also assume reaching last ATH of $69k is possible if only the market continues this way, more people keep buying.

People neglect this fact of time wasted can not be recovered and missing the chances of buying from the DIP, may only amount to purchasing in a much higher price.
well, in this context  of buying the DIP,  Thier is nothing much about time wasted. Whatever time you decide to buy is actually a good time as long you're willing to wait long enough. Like boss JJG said earlier,  the better time to buy is yesterday but we know that's already gone so the best time to buy is definitely today. Even if in the next months it goes above the  current $57k and gets as high as $70k, it might look a bit bullish for someone that's looking at buying for a short term but it's still reasonable to buy at that amount.

Some will still join the market during an higher bullish period of say maybe the next seven years and let's assume the price has gone as high as $90k+, looking at the price from a short term perspective might seem a bit discouraging  to make an entry at that price but for someone joining the market at that time that can't reverse the hands of time back to the current $57k price of today, he is still good to go with that price as long as he is willing and able to hold for the long term and so that current price he meets it and he had the r source to start his Bitcoin accumulating journey is definitely the best time to start.
Yes, of a truth every entry price remains profitable as of DCAing or buying the DIP but everyone desires a much bigger profit and wasting more time either procrastinating will only amount to limiting one's profit.

And as we speaking, there's high chances that  most of those weak minded investor has already started selling their investment after seeing bitcoin price, from the price range of $50k-$60k . After checking their portfolio and found out that there's a great different from when they started accumulating (their coins value has  increased (bitcoin)). Initiating a tempting urge to sell there investment and alot did. Without knowing that this is just the beginning, those of us that still holding and accumulating we should continue till we hit our accumulation goal.

Bitcoin to the 🚀.


The most important thing here is that the next step as Bitcoin follows is that it will be able to cross $100k in the next few weeks as it is close to crossing past highs. If it crosses $100k dollars, the price of Bitcoin will increase by such an amount in the future, which is beyond our imagination, we may not have any idea or so far no one has been able to make any prediction.
Base on history concerning bitcoin halving, bitcoin first experience a surge in price before halving and during the halving base on the previous bitcoin halvings, bitcoin normally would experience a dip , then after the halving (most a year after)  it would increase tremendously. But the way bitcoin is moving recently you sure bitcoin won't hit $100k 🤷 before the halving, Still no one can actually tell . But if such happens , (bitcoin hitting $100k) before the halving then after the halving may increase even more than anyone expectation. Let's just see how things goes.

Maybe they will but I'm not sure if some of these investors still manage to hold until now or if they sell it before it hits $50k.
Those who have strong mindsets will still hold and accumulate more but those who are easily affected by the FUDs and rumors, exactly they got in panic and sell their BTC at low prices. We never expect everyone to hold and wait for the new ATH because many investors are weak.


BTC is already $60,798 and being able to survive this to date and purchasing the DCA model is an extraordinary achievement even though it is not yet full. Well, regarding some people who sold their BTC before today's increase, I don't think they are weak in holding their BTC, they just have to sell it urgently for important daily needs.

JJG, a shower thought. Perhaps you were also right in your argument that learning the technical matters about Bitcoin shouldn't be made "all-important". Because we know that there are very intelligent people from legacy finance that may not understand how actually the Bitcoin network works, BUT know or have the intuition to truly understand the development and an evolution of a new asset class.

🙏

I discover something new again from our debates.
JJG have been right on a lot of his submissions as it has to do with Bitcoin accumulation. His knowledge is not limited to that as he is versed in many other aspect of the entire Bitcoin and the technology. He has raised important threads that explain Bitcoin accumulation and his latest being the withdrawal strategy. It will be difficult to follow him and get lost. His comments has helped my understanding of the DCA method and how to actually apply it and not only theories. Now I am happy with my approach which I developed following him. He is such a great guy with good knowledge of building wealth.

One good thing about this forum is the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences for the benefit of others. Everyone should take the information shared here seriously.

Most people are afraid to enter the market to buy Bitcoin right now,

This are people that doesn't know the value and potential of Bitcoin.


 especially since the price is as high as it is now. 

Dca strategy will serve you better, you can a fraction and not the entire Bitcoin



 They will probably be out of the market for a while.

That is procrastination they may end up not buying Bitcoin to their portfolio




Yes, what you said is true. They missed the best time to buy Bitcoin when the price was below $50k.


Buying below $50k can be great but it doesn't Make those that bought above $50k any different, it not about when you buy but how persistent you can be in terms of hodling for long. The first best time was yesterday and the second best time is today, it is uncertain if such investor will buy tomorrow.

Because the lack of confidence leads some people to think "What if it dumps tomorrow?". Some people are still in the struggle to give trust and they remain doubtful and uncertain. We can't force them to believe when it is against their will.

People who have accumulated a lot of Bitcoin over the last year are just waiting for the right time to sell their Bitcoin. They can still invest more to increase the number of Bitcoins. And after that, it's time to wait for the next ATH. That means a higher Bitcoin price increase than the previous ATH.

Today, people who have not yet invested in Bitcoin are too late to realize its price increase. They may still invest in Bitcoin but must remain patient because Bitcoin still has a long way to go.

It is certainly never too late to buy now if the plan is to hodl for the long term.

Patience plays a major role to a successful investment over a long term, you must be self convinced irrespective of trends that Bitcoin is a coin worth investing on a long term perspective. It is a decision that you have to take by yourself not because it is what everybody is talking about or doing, without taken note of that you can not be able to be patient and hodl you investment for long. Indeed patient is an important potential weapon for hodling your investment. Hodling for long is very important, it gives investors that flexibility opportunity of reviewing the performance of their investment and make adjustments where and when necessary, if you don't hodl you may not be able to benefit the value proposition of your investment over a long term, The  dca strategy will see you through.

With the current increase in Bitcoin prices, many people are happy because they can see the increase in profits they have collected from the DCA method. Those who are just starting out can't see the benefits yet, but they shouldn't be sad because they can see them too.

There's still hope, even more than the former, those that are just coming in should focus their mind on the right thing coming ahead for them with bitcoin investment when they have the ability to hold and withstand the challenges of the market bear, there's more bull season to come and we can never miss out on this.

The DCA method can still be used for now, even though the price of Bitcoin has now reached $56k and even $57k. And it's okay if they still use small money for their investments because investing in Bitcoin still uses the money they can afford.

Its not also a bad idea in using DCA even at this current time where the market is fast rising, we cannot conclude on the fact that it will remain bullish for the time being, we can experience a little more of bear along the way and such could make the use of DCA more effectively accurate for our own benefit.

Hy @Jayjuangee, how are you? I haven't been on this thread long enough to talk about bitcoin buying strategies here, because it's very familiar.

Maybe you and I are the ones laughing today, seeing bitcoin approaching the last ATH. In the past we talked about bitcoin still being priced at 18 thousand dollars and twenty thousand dollars, and today it has almost reached $ 60k, it's an amazing journey, those out there might talk we can get hundreds of percent of bitcoin with the investment strategy we do in bitcoin, but they don't know that we are quite shivering how bitcoin fluctuationsl run in 2022-2023.

How do you still keep buying at the current price now? considering also bitcoin today is in a different cycle, I hope you are still enough and to do DCA. Grin

They might be late but not too late so far they can undergo what you've said "parience". Generally, holding is meant to be on a longer term and  we are below our last ATH which means there  are still enough opportunities to buying the dip even on the uptrend, morecambe still comes with sub dips Smiley (don't mind me  Smiley).

well, in this context  of buying the DIP,  Thier is nothing much about time wasted. Whatever time you decide to buy is actually a good time as long you're willing to wait long enough. Like boss JJG said earlier,  the better time to buy is yesterday but we know that's already gone so the best time to buy is definitely today. Even if in the next months it goes above the  current $57k and gets as high as $70k, it might look a bit bullish for someone that's looking at buying for a short term but it's still reasonable to buy at that amount.


Simply put, whatever point you buy at is fine, as long as you are able to hold your asset until you can make a profit from it. Because people often delay buying Bitcoin, seeing that the price is quite high, but the longer they wait, the more time they will waste. So it's better to decide quickly whether to buy or not. Or if in doubt, investors can buy in smaller portions using the DCA method, and it is safer than the lump sump.

We want to invest in bitcoin we should only focus on the bullish market so therefore I believe that those people who invest during the time the price of bitcoin is low that the people that make profit when the price go up so I will advise every beginner to invest during the time the price of bitcoin is low so that they will not experience any loss, to accumulate bitcoin, you have to wait experience having before you purchase bitcoin, so that you will not be victim when the price go down
this is just the basic and fundamental knowledge   every new investor needs to know before investing.

Those anticipating the market to become more bullish are those that have bought some Bitcoin already and a bullish market becomes an advantage to them but for new investors that are just about entering into the system, the aim is to buy at the DIP and so a bearish market become Thier best entry point but it's not as though you're going to be overly concerned about how bullish or bearish the market is as a factor that will determine the time to start buying. As long as you have a saving that you can comfortably invest into an asset, that's the best time to invest. Leaving your money in fiat has always been a disadvantage and a sort of liability to the holder so it's always best to push your reserve funds into buying an asset that will profit you in the long run.

I guess this is the self advice I gave myself after looking at how valueless our fiat has become and that even after saving a reasonable amount of fiat in the bank, it will ends up yielding very little interest which is too small to buy commodities at the current price because price of commodity normally goes up while the value of our fiat has always dropped and it will end up placing me at a serious loss. Investing my reserve funds in Bitcoin on the other hand for same period of time will yield a great increase in the long run while I can convert it to my fiat when ever I need to and because fiat in most cases always dropped it value,  it gives me a win win situation.

I guess any new person like me that's finding it had to start buying the DIP can do his own analysis and find encouragement and the need to start accumulating bitcoin now.
