Keeping a short percentage in the altcoin group is not a bad thing either. They help balance the long term bitcoin with a short term altcoin to sell in the next bull run.

I also don't feel too bad that we have some altcoins in our portfolio because we all know that there will be some altcoins with impressive growth, so it would be a waste to get rid of altcoins during the bull season. But I don't understand why so many people still have a grudge against altcoins, even though I know that it is riskier than bitcoin, but high risk means high profit, all proportional to each other. Bitcoin cannot be more profitable than altcoins these days.
Well you won't blame them for thinking that about altcoin considering the way the community here speaks so little about these altcoin but the truth is that not all altcoin are that bad as they do sometimes follow the uptrend during the market bull season and having a couple in your portfolio is worth risking as it will increase your profit that's if they do rise but the risk of them dumping is still there but life is all about risk so it's worth having especially ones that are a little bit reputable.

As I understand it, basically all the preparation for BTC Halving is that you have drawn up some kind of action plan, like selling bitcoin for new highs only.

I never get tempted to sell on small profits like i won't be selling on 2x profit if bitcoin reaches 50,000$. My targets are clear and will sell in parts after bitcoin reaches new highs.

Everything else, like buying btc (and some major cap coins as part of your portfolio) and storing it in a cold wallet, is actually hardly preparation for the BTC Halving, and is, in fact, common practice, even outside of this event.

I believe that as part of preparation (planning), the following point can be added: in what way to sell bitcoin (on which exchange or in another way), in what form to receive and withdraw profits (cash or electronic money). It's a good idea to think through these points so you're ready to act once bitcoin reaches new ATH.

So in order to have maximum benefits in the bull market, you should have a plan and start executing it unless it is too late.
One of the plans any beginner can have an obviously have things play in there favor is the DCA strategy. You can hardly be wrong about this especially when you have a long term plan for your accumulations. I wouldn’t prefer we consider this whole looking at altcoins but for bitcoin in per se, it works just fine and you don’t need much knowledge to practice it. Just know how to buy and some non custodial or cold wallet storage to hodl it on.

I have already accumulated bitcoin in my portfolio (70% of my portfolio is in bitcoin) which i will not sell until we are above the all time high again. Similarly, i have bought some major cap coins and a few others low cap too which i think will perform well in the bull season.  I have been doing this for the last 3 to 4 months, buying some at every dump.
Sure you’re very much experienced so I wouldn’t say much on the major capped coins but then, I’ve even been failed by those altcoins when I felt I had a good reason to pick them. Can’t trust them one bit, especially when it dumps.

Quote
If the market dumps further, I will not panic and if I have more spare money, I may accumulate more bitcoin. I am confident that this bull season will be the best so far as it will be initiated by institutional investors.
Well, no bitcoin halving has come without creating a new ATH. It’s okay to hope that history would repeat itself and the market would be kind to us still.

As i told you in my post, only 30 percent of my portfolio goes in the altcoins and the majority of them are large cap coins like Eth, XRP etc.
Yeah I know that 30% of your portfolio are alts but for me that is a huge percentage, and much bigger that I ever had in altcoins (at the moment I am like 95% in BTC, maybe even higher).


Yes, I do include some low caps too but if you like or deny it, the altcoins do give big returns in the bull season.
Some do but many don't and problem is that majority of people have is that they wait for too long to dump and then they end up being bagholders of a shitty project that will never go back to the previous all time high while that is not a problem when you all in bitcoin because even if you don't sell at all time high, there will be another bull run.

This is good. I have many of my assets in bitcoin either. Out of the total that I have, 30% are one different exchanges. After sometimes to halving or immediately after halving, I will go 2x long and leave it for a long time. The remaining 70% are on a multisig wallet because I can not buy a hardware wallet when I have devices that I am using daily which I can use for multisig wallet. The 30% are on my noncustodial wallet for now, I will move it to exchanges when the time comes.

I guess I am doing well in my preparation for the next bull market. The current market condition is too complicated for me to do trades. So I am just HODLING. Meanwhile, I am doing DCA every 2 weeks. I guess this is the best option you can choose in this kind of market situation. Not complicated at all. Just buy every 14 days and control my emotions and temptation to sell or buy more for a few profits while if I hodl, I can make a good profit in the long run.

I kept those in a private separate wallet same as you so that I don't interfere with that hodling amount. It's going great. Stop looking at the recent profit and loss and just focus on the future. That's all.

I'm still keeping an eye on the market, waiting for a bearish phase before the halving event takes place. I know there are significant events expected in 2024 and 2025, but this isn't just my own plan; many people are preparing for it as well. I believe price drops before pumps often occur during events like these. I'm trying not to rush my decisions to avoid regrets. I'm also following news on Telegram channels discussing Bitcoin movements so I don't miss the moment I'm waiting for.


The time for the halving event hasn't passed yet, so it's not too late to buy Bitcoin. Right now, I'm still enjoying the market's movements.

Currently, I hold Bitcoin, but I've also set aside a substantial amount of FIAT to buy Bitcoin when the market turns bearish. So far, I've received an additional injection of FIAT funds, which has increased my FIAT assets to over 60% at the moment. I won't let the future bull run go to waste.


Look like you are keeping a majority of your money in anticipation that Bitcoin will dump one last time before the halving, and then you will invest your fiat money in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

I understand that you are taking this step based on the history of bitcoin, Well this is a risky decision because if the history does not repeat itself and the bitcoin price does not dump to your expected levels, then you will miss the rally. It is better to start the DCA now rather than waiting for the more lower prices.

As you know bitcoin halving is a few months away (first quarter 2024) and then we may have bull season in 2024/2025. We are all excited about the bull season but no one prepares for it. People start buying Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies when the bull market is in progress and the prices are already high. Some even have the fear of missing out and buy at the top of the bull market. The result is that most people lose money in bull season too.

So in order to have maximum benefits in the bull market, you should have a plan and start executing it unless it is too late.

I have already accumulated bitcoin in my portfolio (70% of my portfolio is in bitcoin) which i will not sell until we are above the all time high again. Similarly, i have bought some major cap coins and a few others low cap too which i think will perform well in the bull season.  I have been doing this for the last 3 to 4 months, buying some at every dump.

If the market dumps further, I will not panic and if I have more spare money, I may accumulate more bitcoin. I am confident that this bull season will be the best so far as it will be initiated by institutional investors.

Also, to keep my bitcoin secure and to remain calm in times of dump, I have moved my bitcoins in cold storage so I never get tempted to sell on small profits like i won't be selling on 2x profit if bitcoin reaches 50,000$. My targets are clear and will sell in parts after bitcoin reaches new highs.

Like you, I'm also excited, and in the few months before Bitcoin halving, I hope that before that day comes, I will have saved the exact amount I want for Bitcoin and even for other cryptocurrencies that I think will also follow with Bitcoin's value rising in the market.

It's also difficult to save in my situation with the amount of my daily expenses, so I also do proper financial management. That's why I also know that many are really expecting good things to happen in the bull run season for those who have holdings in bitcoins and other crypto assets.

So when there is a chance that the value of Bitcoin still falls, I will take the chance to buy more than hold, just like what the others are doing here in this field of crypto business.

Is it too late already? I don't think so, it takes only a single day for Bitcoin to lose 40% of it's value and we still have few months before the next halving, That's a lot of time left and anything can still happen.

It's not too late to buy Bitcoin right now or create your own crypto portfolio, Bitcoin can still decline anytime from now and it will drag every other coins along.

What is not adding up with peoples prediction is the adoption rate, we can't compare four years back to today, because now we have ETF approval waiting and more confidence is now on crypto, don't you think it will be hard to see a bigger dump like that of the past years again? I am not saying it's impossible I am just saying there is now strong beliefs in crypto vs the past years.

I think for sure the majority of the forum members here are potentially collecting btc and altcoins or have already collected a lot of bitcoins and altcoins.

and indeed the BTC halving is just around the corner and many people are speculating that crypto prices will soar high in 2024 or 2025.
and honestly, I can't wait for the bull market to happen quickly because I want to quickly get profits from my investment in BTC. hopefully the btc price during the bull run is above $100k.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
Hoping for a bull market at the next halving is a good thing but we should be prepared for the bull at any time in the future. The process of halving will come at a time for sure but the selling and buying should continue on their own like always. Keep accumulating as the prices drop and do sell at a profit. The halving time is unpredictable because you never know when the bull starts and when the prices drop.

Keeping a short percentage in the altcoin group is not a bad thing either. They help balance the long term bitcoin with a short term altcoin to sell in the next bull run.

This is the plan of most investors but let's not get too excited and miss out in taking profit from our investment. It is better to have a price target that when bitcoin reaches that price,you should sell because if you are waiting for the new ATH,which nobody can predict the exact price,you might end up not selling till the price of bitcoin goes bearish. This will be a sad experience for those who over planned to see bitcoin price very high before they will sell due to greed. On the other hand if the price did not reach your selling price target,there is no harm for you to continue holding till the next two bull season. I don't know if I will be tempted to sell all my bitcoin portfolio is the price reaches my target or keep some fraction. Roll Eyes

Having a clear plan is important in investment like bitcoin, it helps you not to follow the crowd or be moved by FUD. I also like your target because it is realistic and void of greed. My target is more than that because I also bought when the price was higher than the current price. I am also planning beyond the having because bitcoin for me is a lifetime investment.

@OP I have the similar plan (minus such a big exposure to altcoins which is a serious gamble)

As i told you in my post, only 30 percent of my portfolio goes in the altcoins and the majority of them are large cap coins like Eth, XRP etc. Yes, I do include some low caps too but if you like or deny it, the altcoins do give big returns in the bull season. Yes, I know the risk that is why my exposure to each altcoin is very little so if any of the altcoin project fails, it won't have much effect on my portfolio.

Rest, I know bitcoin should be our focus and 70% of my portfolio stays in bitcoin.
As much as you know the risk involved in keeping these altcoins and you can sustain the loss without sinking your finances, it's okay. The profits from altcoins are very attractive but the loss can be devastating. Not everyone is are high-risk taker, hence bitcoin is their only option.

The only part I don't agree with is buying altcoins and calling it a "portfolio". We all know that all these altcoins depend on bitcoin price and majority of them have absolutely no future even the bigger ones are going to get dumped in the long run. For example the biggest shitcoin called ethereum has not been capable of pumping back to its 2017 highs and has lost about half of its value over the past 6 years. That's contrary to bitcoin that is still above its previous ATH.

Besides there is a high chance that alcoins you are bagholding could get dumped when bitcoin starts rising. It happens to a lot of them since the "investors" sell their coins to go back to bitcoin market and have more liquidity trading bitcoin/fiat pairs. That always dumps altcoins.
There is a higher chance of having more Bitcoin with the help of these so called shitcoins of yours, the goal is never to get married with these altcoins but to use their profits to gather more Bitcoin, altcoins have given me better ROI in this bear market than Bitcoin, we all have our ways with hunting altcoins, and the risk are there but worth it.

I can name over five altcoins that have 10x or more between 2022 and this 2023, The best game with altcoins is getting into them early, through Seedify for example, I mean if you have joined all the projects launch on seedify since the beginning of this bear market you should have a different story to tell about altcoins.

Yeah, well, I guess I am "preparing" as well, as I keep accumulating but it's so routine that I wouldn't call it preparation.

As you know bitcoin halving is a few months away (first quarter 2024)...

According to Bitcoin Halving Countdown, it will be in the second quarter, but some other site gives it as early as March.

A lot of times, the markets move in ways we least expect it. Due to a good amount of people that are betting on the halving specifically, I think it probably won't move the way these people are expecting it to.

Either we dump hard, maybe we do a sideways chop, maybe we pump then just end up retracing. Just my guess though.

You may be right, and it should be taken into account, but I personally rule out a catastrophic scenario, such as not beating the $69K ATH. I think we will pass $100K, and then we'll see. If it's a bad cycle we'll get below that figure soon.

This sounds like a good plan and most of them are part of my current plans towards the big tradition, and I've been executing them since last year. Bitcoin is a very good investment, and whether anyone likes it or not, it will not make you lose eventually but one should be careful at the striking price too so that you will not miss the opportunity of buying at lower prices.

This is why I came up with the idea of buying any amount that I could spare instead of saving it in my bank account, and as the money came in I made the plans a reality. This has actually helped me to stop wasting money on frivolities and I'm surprised at the amount I've accumulated so far.

@OP I have the similar plan (minus such a big exposure to altcoins which is a serious gamble) before every bull run but when bitcoin reaches the price I am waiting, I usually sell way less than I thought I will. Let's see what happens when/if bitcoin reaches $100k and whether I sell the amount I initially planned.


For example the biggest shitcoin called ethereum has not been capable of pumping back to its 2017 highs and has lost about half of its value over the past 6 years. That's contrary to bitcoin that is still above its previous ATH.
ETH is still above its 2018 ATH (~$1400 in 2018 vs ~$1600 now) so I don't know how you came to that. Unless you meant ETH/BTC.
