Topic: Post halving investing strategy. (Read 668 times)

I have this mindset that investment in altcoins should be the last thing every genuine investor should do and it should come after he has built a reasonable Bitcoin portfolio maybe with extra cash, a little of that can just be thrown into altcoins provided such amount is bearable when it is lost. This is the right way I think one should go about investment in altcoins. If I have $2,000 to invest, I could decide to put just $50 into altcoins and the balance $1,950 will be invested in Bitcoin. I wouldn't be too pained of I lose $50 put of my initial capital of $2,000. The gains from my Bitcoin investment can easily cover that loss.

Some people think that when you invest in many altcoins that at least one or two of them will turn out for good and cover the losses on the others and still yield some profits.

People can apply any strategy they may want, however it makes the most sense to simply wait for the price to begin moving up than to try to trade the markets, and this is because if you were to make a mistake and you were out of the market when a big movement happened, as your prediction about the movements of the market was wrong, you will find it very difficult to buy at the new and more expensive price, and it will be possible the price may keep moving up while you remain out, which will make you to lose on a big opportunity you may have taken advantage of by just waiting the market to come to you.

If you are someone who is really that loving on short trades then it would really be that something that will really be beneficial considering the market price now had been able to recover, but if you are someone whose really that having those long term holds then any price entry wont really be something that you will really be minding on as long you do able to accumulate further then this what matter the most.
We do have our own investment strategies specially the market is always been volatile and unpredictable. There's no way that you could really be able to make yourself that know on what the prices would really be looking like on which we know that this is something that you would really be needing up to adapt and be that keen on whatever decisions that you would be making and not really just that letting yourself
making outright rush decisions which might cause loses.

For day or short term traders, yes, it's a golden opportunity to buy at $60k and then sell at around this price, $65k-$66k and they will make a few profits and that's good enough for them as they are traders for that matter.


But for the majority of us, who don't trade at all, it might be better to just HODL for now and not sell. There is the opportunity to profit now, but we are looking for the long term, meaning it could be at the end of this year or at the peak of the bull run in 2025.

Many have traded coins during recent declines but the results were not enough. But if you bought BTC at its lowest price two days ago at $60,200 it's very lucky to sell for now, but I'm sure not all do because there are even higher prices waiting towards the end of this year. The right and good choice for those who continue to collect and survive until now in BTC.

Yes. In the long run, on the contrary, not just a little, but an absolute profit after this and that cost deduction from the initial capital.

There's no changes for me, so far I've only done a 5% reduction in my DCA because I need to make sure that I'm not going to lose more money but right now, I'm upping that back to 5 again and hopefully when I get paid, I would get it to 10% because the prices are indicating that there's an increase. That's my only changes but it's not a drastic change for post halving, pretty sure that it's worthless to do that anyway if the routine is already good right?

I am seeing almost everyone is suggesting and already into DCA. Yeah, it is true that doing DCA would make more sense as per a lot of people, because we trust that bitcoin will do fine in the end, and it wouldn't take that long. Sure a lot of people think that it is not going to be all that easy, so we should probably consider that we are going to end up with a lot worse results.

We should probably reconsider what we can do, and that means that we are going to get a lot of trouble if we can, and that would be quite strong for us, but it would require a strong will power to make it work during all the ups and the downs. A lot of people miss that part, and they think that we are going to end up with something worse, and that should not be the case, we should consider how long term will make it a lot better if we hold long enough.

If you will simply say supply shock, it can also mean an increase in the supply, so it is better to just be more specific and say instead that the reduction of supply due to halving is the real ones that can cause a rise in the price but as the other one that you said, this rise is not instant even though there is a shock there that happened.

When we say gradual I think it does not always means to be consistent because BTC is also not a stable crypto but rather it is a volatile one. The only good thing is that it is not only limited on that time period you mentioned because the adoption does not stop but it only continues to expand from time to time.

If that is what you prefer and you feel comfortable doing it then you should keep doing what works for you, it is just that for many people investing in this way will mean keeping their fiat with them for a long time, and in my experience most people if given the chance will spend their money in stuff they do not need.

So a DCA strategy makes more sense for them as the temptation to spend that money will not be anywhere near as strong, since the amount of money will be smaller and the time required to keep that money is many times shorter as well.

Since the halving is now over, the supply shock should cause the price to increase but traditionally it is a gradual increase.  I believe that historically, there is a steady increase after the halving for about a year but then a more parabolic increase for several months after that before the blow off top.

But of course this cycle could be different than previous cycles.

I agree. In fact, if you want to invest long term without using the DCA method, that's okay, you can use the strategy with one purchase. The most important thing is that you already have knowledge about bitcoin, especially in safe bitcoin storage. Investing in bitcoin won't make a loss even if the price goes down, as long as you never sell it you won't lose, you just need to wait for the moment to sell it.

Moreover, if you know the pattern or history of bitcoin with halving, of course this will be your reference in predicting bitcoin. If you don't want to be complicated, you can look at the history of Bitcoin prices every year. Basically, Bitcoin goes up every 4 years. Moreover, if we buy in 2022 at a price of $15k, of course our profits will now double. The essence of the strategy is of course the easiest, now start buying BTC and selling in 2025, in 2027 start buying BTC and selling in 2029, in 2031 start buying BTC and sell in 2033. We only need to set aside money to buy bitcoin. and hopefully in 2033 we will all be rich.

If you do not have a lot of money to invest, you better i vest to BTC only. Diversifying with too many altcoins will scatter your money and if you are not familiar about it.

That is why it is a better strategy to stayto BTC before you invest to altcoins.

DCA or lumpsum, whichever is light and comfortable to you, choose what is ideal to you.

I'm not saying the DCA strategy is a bad strategy, what I'm saying is that it depends on each person's preferences to choose the right strategy for themselves. Buying once is not too bad if you have enough knowledge and a little luck, you will own more bitcoins than DCA. For example, if you go all in on bitcoin when its price is $15k in 2022, which is the lowest price of bitcoin, you will own a significant amount of bitcoin.

That's right, no matter what the strategy is, it's important to have long-term goals with bitcoin, limit short-term investment and speculation because the risks are too great. While there are risks to investing in bitcoin, I'm pretty confident in saying that it's unlikely anyone will lose their money if they can hold onto it for the long term.

Whatever strategy you choose to go about your investment in Bitcoin, inasmuch as you have a long term targets you never gonna be at a loss. Using the DCA isn't a bad strategy because it keeps you accumulating more Bitcoin and you can still lump sum when a dip occurs but it doesn't mean that you will lump sum at a go and stop buying, you can still continue accumulating to increase your portfolio. Since it is only the price of Bitcoin that fluctuates due to it's volatile nature whereas the amount of the value of Bitcoin you've bought doesn't change, you shouldn't be afraid of the price falling since the quantity remains as it is.

Those that loses are only the short term investors and those that always panic when a dip is occurring because they sell at loss. I have been a victim of selling when a dip was occurring and I sold out of fear that the price will keep dipping but funny enough not up to 2 hours after I sold, the price was skyrocketing even for days and i felt very bad because if i was patient enough i wouldn't have incurred those losses. Just have a long term goal in your investment in Bitcoin and you will never sell at a loss.

You're right, it will depend on each investor's skills and preferences. But I think buying a lump sum won't bring any loss or harm to someone as long as they don't sell their bitcoins if the price drops more after the buying. Don't forget that 1BTC=1BTC and as long as we can hold until bitcoin recovers and increases strongly, there will never be a loss.

Personally, I also prefer a one-time purchase rather than using a DCA strategy. I like to take risks and a one-time purchase will probably give me the maximum profit, and if unfortunately the price I have to pay is just holding on to it longer than I expected, but I won't lose as long as I don't sell.

Not much change in my way of investing, just buy low and sell high and doing some DCA on the side to keep things in a much easier for me and not get left behind when the possibility of the price suddenly pumping, I wouldn't lose the potential to make a profit. I don't get the need to do something different though, is there something that will happen after halving? I'm sure that whatever is going to happen, it's not going to happen immediately or after the same year as the halving, big things in the bitcoin market takes time.

Bitcoin is affected when Bitcoin affects other alt coins. Every dip in Bitcoin is an opportunity to increase your wealth. Grow your investment portfolio by buying from as many dips as you can. If we can buy at a lower price at the time of purchase, then it will give us a higher return after the bull run. You invest not only in bitcoin, you also invest in alt coins, because after bull run bitcoin will affect all alt coins also, at that time we can earn good money from alt coins too. You save your assets for a long time, it will give you a higher return later.

The skills of the investor will determine which strategy is the best for each one of them, since an investor that is skilled at reading the markets can buy the dip in a very effective manner and obtain more profits this way.

However, for someone that cannot do this, buying the dip is a strategy that will only bring them losses and headaches, so the best strategy for them is to simply employ the DCA strategy and be happy with whatever profits they can get.

This post halving investment plan has to come with a lot of strategies and the investors have to understand this because we are in the season whereby the market price becomes unpredictable and more highly volatile, we also need to be sure on the target that we do on how we go about our investment in other for us not to run on losses, all these are what we should first put into considerations before making any decision on investment .

Of course, every investor is free to use any investment strategy that they think can produce better profits. Lump sum or DCA are basically fine to utilize, so I agree with both strategies when investors know when to use one or both at different times.

There are several investment strategies that are worth trying, here are excerpts:
I think everyone could find out more strategies that are shared publicly online. They just need to use the keyword "Investment Strategy".

When finding up the bottom then this is where i do agree on what you have said that majority will really be focusing or would really be that preferring that much on putting up that lump sum rather than on going with DCA on which we know that there are ones who do like on getting that all in on the bottom rather than on having that in averaging but well this is really that always falls down into someones interest
or their plans about into their positions. When it comes to strategies then it would really be that differ to each other and this is where traders and investors would really be making out their own  strategies.
Doesnt matter whether you would really be DCA or lump sum then it would be that depending on your own approach because market is unpredictable. There's no right or wrong on here with your decisions.

Actually we don't know if the price will go down or will grow more but people have an extra amount which they have kept with themselves if the market goes down then they invest that amount into it. Some people wait for more dip and due to their prolonged wait they missed so many chances of investment so I think one should have an extra saved amount which they can invest when the price goes down.



It depends on a person whether he is investing only in Bitcoin or is choosing different coins because the loss and win both will be faced by investors. I will say that if someone invests in Bitcoin and some top altcoins for a longer time and also invests in some new projects so when they go higher in price then sell it so in such a way your long term investment will be safe and you will also get profit from your short term holdings.

Sometimes, buying a lump sum is the best option to do on the dip compared to DCA. In such conditions, they have to be pretty sure that the price has already bottomed out during the correction, so they will definitely get more bitcoins accumulated instead of with DCA.

I don't blame anyone for sticking with DCA regardless of market conditions, but lump sums can also be an option that can be compounded based on market conditions. There is no compulsion regarding which strategy to use, but combining the two in different market conditions can make it a win-win variation.

Actually we are really that still down and recently we do have that market correction or price decrease but everyone do really freak out that there might be something even more deeper in terms of those low prices but it didnt happen. This is why its really hard to determine on where prices could eventually go in the next hours or days or whatsoever. This is where people would really be making use of their own experience and knowledge on how to handle and bare up the risks on where this market could really be able to give out. Different approach and different strategies and this is something that will vary into each person because not all would really be equal when it comes to this.

So far we havent seen the worst on that post halving price decrease. I do believe that its not really that recent dip but rather there would really be still comes the worst
but of course these are the things which are basing up on what happened in the past but there's no assurance that it would be happening in the present and in the future. So there's no way on telling that.

Yes, I think this is the best strategy for post halving. I mean we can still accumulate even in the bull run as they are moments when the price is still going down, just like what we are seeing today.

DCA is the way around, and I think majority here are doing this strategy for a long time and it very effective still.

And for us regular investors who can't afford to buy like 1 Bitcoin right away, DCA is our friend and I think it is tailor made for small investors like the majority of us and so we should used it no matter what cycle we are and our intention is to have as much Bitcoin as we can.

I don't know what investment strategies other people have implemented at the moment or in the past, but personally I still prefer to invest in Bitcoin if it is within the scope of crypto. Because on the other hand, I also prefer other investments such as real estate, so I don't really like investing in altcoins, even though I also like buying altcoins, but this is only to seek short-term profits through trading in the market. Because investing in more good things can also provide opportunities for more profits, although to get this we also need to be patient.

Do not be so misleading mate. After Bitcoin halving investors are never left to determine the Bitcoin price in the future because it does not contribute any realistic form for the Bitcoin future price to be settled based on your sentiment.
After the halving comes an opportunity for more investors to come on board to the Bitcoin industry where could attract the experiences of more demands and also a periodic event by which investors can spread their assets in buying more

There are long term and short term Investors which means only short term investors targets a sudden increments of Bitcoin price in other to sell their coins and protect the interest of making profits while long term Investors are strongly holding believing that more times ahead as they holds would as much point to more profits.

So it is a individual opinion to decide when to sell and when to buy and how long to hold.
Buying on the DCAs while the price is DIP is actually much comfortable but we can as well buy in at cost of price because the price of Bitcoin in the future is unpredictable and hopes that even at the bear it can still pull a force to more increments. That is to say even buying after a higher value, more higher value is expected in a period of time as long we could hold patiently.

lucky to those who have waited a little and the perfect timing to buy is yesterday when
the price dumped to 56,500 and that is the lowest we may see before our awaited bull comes .
are you solely for bitcoin? or considering buying altcoins also when you invest ?
but that is the best strategy ever mate to keep holding after we bought.

I guess because its holding for long term, the current price volatility become irrelevant, i mean I can understand that, if back then those people who DCA are buying at around $20k, they'd simply disregard price volatilty whether its $21k or $28k it doesn't matter since at the end of the day their target always $100k.
but i might be different though just like you it might save some pennies waiting for the dips to happen first.
what people afraid when DCA is that they might miss opportunity of getting bitcoin before the pump thats why they always feels in hurry because the pump could always happen quite literally anytime and if they missed that opportunity it gonna cost their DCA a lot more in the future, I guess that might be the reason.

Sometimes I take a look at what newbies are doing and it surprises me how unnecessarily complex and risky the strategies that they are employing really are, to the point that I wonder if what they are looking is for some excitement or if they are actually looking to make profits.

Because some of the best strategies you can use are very simple and boring, and this is one example, buying bitcoin whenever you can regardless of the price may not seem to some as a way to obtain profits, and yet it is one of best strategies that someone can employ.

One things for sure on which majority of people who do have experienced on previous bull run or halving event is on that one time last dip that could happen on this market before bull run kicks in.
There's no way that we could really be able to determine it out on when it would happen. The thing on here is that you should really be always having the plan on when to get in and as much as possible
we would really be waiting up for the bottom and this is something that we are really that trying to catch up but of course you shouldnt really be that setting out those unrealistic low prices.
There's always and analysis that would really be backing up through it so that it would be somewhat that could be that giving out that viable analysis.

This kind of strategy is not applicable to everybody since many want’s to accumulate at a cheaper price as much as possible though this looks like DCA and I think it’s also ok especially for long term players. I personally have my own way to accumulate, I collect all my extra funds and just waiting for the perfect timing to buy again, I mean there should be no rush in buying and we should always do our own research before we invest.

Buy on the dip with DCA and accumulate whenever you have a budget and hold it for the long term, in fact that is an investment strategy that has been the best advice we have heard so far. Of course that's good, but not everyone can do it consistently when their financial conditions don't support it. We're just talking about small investors who expect their capital from the remainder of their saved monthly salary, so investing with that strategy can clearly help them earn more bitcoin over time.

This investment advice applies to everyone, even El Salvador itself also buys with DCA and continues to accumulate. If this is done consistently throughout the year, then of course the average purchase price will be lower and holders will get better returns when prices rise high.

Yes, it can be said that this is a good opportunity for big investors to accumulate more bitcoins and some altcoins as well, but investors with less capital should do well before investing at this time because the market is so unpredictable there is no telling if this is the point from which the market will go up so the investor with less investment may not hold for a long time and they may have to sell it back at a loss.

Because, no immediate effects of the halving were felt on the market, we should not act hastily, we still have half a year to see the full results, so for small investors, I would suggest trading using the DCA method, because it is better if they aren't ready to wait. Those who think they can wait, they should wait for at least some time to see the market showing effects of the halving.

My investment strategy always remains the same, no matter what’s the price. I believe that Bitcoins are limited in numbers and hence very valuable. So whenever I have funds to spend, I just buy the coins and invest in it for long term. No matter what’s the price, no matter what is the condition of the market, i just buy the coins irrespective of its price. Hence post halving I will again follow this and will keep on accumulating the coins regularly.

Investing in Bitcoin at this time actually looks like a very brilliant idea because as at today and while typing this the price of Bitcoin has gone down a little as compared to the price just before the halving soiys very obvious that there's a temporary bear and if you actually take a look at the chart on the monthly time frame you will observe that Bitcoin has made a bounce off the resistance three times so a slight bear is going to happen to effect some corrections which is a better opportunity to buy low because after now it may likely be a massive bull which will be very profitable to early investors but hoping on during the bull may not be actually profitable as much as it will be currently.

This halving seem to have taken a different path from the regular so like you have rightly advised, proper risk management too should be followed so as to be on a very safe end of the market directions, unlike under halving there used to be a preceding bear but we experienced what seemed like a panic bull before the halving a d after the halving is a temporary bear but I'm very optimistic about a bull market soonest so to be watchful applying proper risk management for traders will keep your portfolio afloat in the long term.

What prediction? Is it when he said that BTC will still decline in value? IMO I don't consider this as a prediction but it's only normal and highly possible because of a part of a market cycle called bear run.

There is also a correction, a decrease and a dip. For those who has the patience and wants to save, they can always wait for that but if not, well, they can start from now on. They might miss the potential heights and maybe regret a little but I'm sure they can easily move on because they know they are patient enough to HODL and wait for a much stronger bull run. By the time we hit our latest ATH, I think that also means that the bull run have officially started. Maybe your expectations are only high for you to not consider it as one but don't worry because I also believe that this is not the end of the bull run yet.

That "complex factor" say is just basically the market sentiment or the whole economy. Apparently while the Bitcoin halving is being anticipated, there are wars, coming election, heat index, and many issues around the globe that keeps many assets from rising but to remain in consolidation. Which also mean one thing which is price may trade higher anytime soon because it also have a lot of reason to go higher once the economy settles for good.

So instead of getting feared out, take that as opportunity to invest and buy more at lower prices. Bitcoin price is not dumping, it is just correcting for higher prices in the future.

if they are having to do this better did back when the price is still low because look at
now if they are really going to invest why is the prices dropping low?

but this scenario is not coming any time soon as we can observe the movement of bitcoin
and altcoins now not going closer to your prediction now, we are in waiting season now if what to do either to buy or sell.

buy bitcoin while its dumping , look at it now close to 61k usd once again.

Because this is a Bitcoin discussion board, I will exclude discussions about Altcoins even though they have the potential to experience a big spike after the Halving and early preparations ahead of the Altseason.
Halving only impacts the rewards received by miners and does not have any impact on the amount and nature of Bitcoin held by investors other than price fluctuations. The supply of Bitcoin will not decrease due to the Halving, the Halving only causes the speed of new Bitcoin releases by cutting miner rewards which is a good pattern for Bitcoin to maintain its scarcity.

Some investors hope that Bitcoin's value will continue to balloon after the halving, like the pattern that occurred in previous halvings. However, they should not be carried away by FOMO because movements are not always as expected and can be a point of retreat in the initial asset value. Bitcoin movements can be influenced by various complex factors, making predictions more difficult, so it is necessary to prioritize the principles of risk management so as not to get caught in post-halving FOMO which has the potential to experience significant financial losses.
 

That's what's going on, but many people don't seem to realize that there are only about 1 million unmined bitcoins left, and this number is so small compared to the amount of bitcoins circulating outside. Many people have never even checked the circulating bitcoin supply and how many bitcoins are unmined. They just rely on previous habits that halving will boost bitcoin price because supply in the market will be more scarce after halving.

The halving story has become so familiar to everyone, including newcomers, and everyone expects a bullish season after the halving, but when everything becomes too predictable. Will the bull season come after the halving like previous cycles? I bet that in the coming time, many people will get discouraged, disappointed and leave the market, which is inevitable if they are still too dependent on the halving.

Prioritizing investing into Bitcoin is for me the best strategy when it comes to investing in crypto. The rewards are lower though, but the risk is lower as well. Based on the history of Bitcoin, its price goes up significantly 12-18 months after the halving event, and even though there are some who thinks that the event is causing its price increase, many believe that it is since the inflation goes down due to the rewards cut down to half hence, supply rate decreases.

Anyway, since we might be entering the bull market a few months from now, I guess it's worth risking some of your money into some lower market cap coins. What I mean when lower market cap coins are those that are at the top 51-100 in Coingecko. Right now, that's what I'm doing because I believe that altcoins are more volatile than Bitcoin thus, it gives higher reward than Bitcoin. I did some research of course, and for sure many can do the same as well.

Overall, risk management is always a factor when it comes to investing. If you can't handle the risk investing into some meme coins, shitcoins, or new projects out there, better invest into Bitcoin and other top altcoins. Learn when to sell as well, and have some selling targets.

We've been telling that even before the halving happens and during the bear market. But how many are listening actually to these suggestions? I have no idea how many are. But it's not that everybody are going to sell all that they've got when we surge again and see BTC on another ATH, many are just going to stay and hold and do nothing even if the price is good to take profits. They've got a longer term and plan for BTC and holding it is the best option for them. Remember all of those whales btc addresses that didn't moved for a decade and the others for several years? They've got a long term plan for themselves and even reaching ATH after ATH, they remain steadfast and calm because they know what's going to happen and they're following their long game plan.

As far as I know the halving does not slow down the creation of a new coins but rather lower the reward per block which @OP is somehow correct since instead of the previous 6.25 to 3.125 so the reward does become lower which means the incoming supply of Bitcoin to become lower.


True that, considering the law of supply and demand, if the market losses demand, even if the supply becomes lower, then it is not a guaranteed increase in price since the price is always proportional to the demand over supply.

But if we look at the previous Bitcoin cycle the halving event is one of the good entry point to Bitcoin investment because of the tendency of the market to surge and record new ATH after few months .

Speaking as a "Newbie", it's a little strange to me to see 'instructional' posts being made by "Newbies" themselves. However, I'm new, and don't know the clientele yet.   

First needs to understand what halving does first before one starts making investment decisions or creating strategies for it. The halving doesn't reduce the current circulating supply causing a steep rise in the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but it reduces the block reward which means that the increasing supply reduces and not the current supply. So if anyone was expecting to see the market rising right after the halving event, they probably didn't have any knowledge about it or had studied the past of the market.

If the market starts going up right after the halving event or before it, it will only be because a lot of new investors might enter the market knowing that the market would go up after the halving and they will get profit from it, and it wouldn't be because of the halving event itself.

What's new? Halving actually reduces adding new coins to the circulating supply, not the total supply anyway. It just reduces the mining rewards and, at the end of the day, less Bitcoin adds to the circulation than previous Halving. However, for Bitcoin investment, the DCA strategy would be a better option now. Because the market seems very volatile, we can't expect a sudden dump at this point. So keep accumulating on each dip you find. If you are lucky, you may get a good return in a short time; otherwise, just hold on until a great pump. 

The problem is, in each bull run demand was speculative. It was not demand to use Bitcoin as a currency or as store of value, but demand demand to buy Bitcoin and sell it in a few months or a year at a higher price. This type of demand is unsustainable and eventually collapses, causing a bear market.

It's very likely that the bull run will resume, but the open question is how long will it last and how high it will get before crashing. There are optimists who say that there will be a supercycle and Bitcoin will get really high, but they say it all the time, the so-called permabulls. There's also a prediction that the price will peak lower than most people expect, because there's a trend of lower and lower relative increase of bull run peaks.

But post-halving also reduces the rate at which new coins are produced which reduces the supply of Bitcoin in the market leading to an increase in price.

The current price movement shouldn't be used to predict how high the price could get. It is generally known that Bitcoin price doesn't go high immediately after the halving. It will take some months for the market to begin to feel the impact. I am predicting that the impact of this current halving will be massive and my assumption is based on the fact that Bitcoin reached ATH even before the halving. I suspect that the increase in institutional investors will be one of the factors that will take Bitcoin at least $100k.

Accumulation is the best post halving strategy. Problem here is with misconception and misunderstanding of how the market behave during halving. If we would look back previous Bitcoin halving, bullrun did not start the moment this event happened. It took place months or almost a year after halving. And if things would be the same with the recent halving, then we may expect for a correction or crash before the uptrend. Thus, this is the moment to invest and fill your bags in preparation to "true" bullrun. Personally, I am waiting for that moment to re-invest. However, we cannot blame people who would hesitate to also do so, simply because no one's certain of the market price action. DCAs would help but nothing's will be guaranteed as we all know.

Just know how much potential this industry is having and trust that potential. If you're too afraid then waiting for further market confirmation would be always an option. Always prioritize managing the risk no matter what. As cliché as it sounds, invest an amount you can afford to lose.

I don’t consider the current halving to give huge impact on decreased supply and increased the demand since the circulating supply of Bitcoin is already near the 100% circulation. We are just talking about 1M+ Bitcoin compared to the current circulation of 19.6M already. So the decrease on rewards is not that a huge impactful compared to the previous halving on the last ~14 years of Bitcoin existence.

I think the Bitcoin halving event is more on a symbolic event since it was often being use for price speculation for Bitcoin that makes the price move during this event. For me, Bitcoin is destined to growth steadily since the demand is increasing due to global adaptation and not because the block rewards is decrease because the remaining mineable coin is not that huge anymore.

Investing in Bitcoin in my opinion is quite simple when investors have explored finding out about Bitcoin. When the exploring stage is complete and you know how Bitcoin is from many angles, there is no doubt about buying and holding.
For Bitcoin investors who have invested in Bitcoin for years and have experienced the benefits, I can be sure that it is no longer a priority but a necessity when all their basic needs are no longer disturbed.

2024 is the fourth halving based on a four-year cycle. Count back the years of the third, second and first halvings and note what the price of Bitcoin was at each halving.
In the process of achieving this fourth halving on 4/20, block height: 840000 and rewards: 3,125 BTC per block, institutions and large companies have started buying up Bitcoin in large amounts to include in their portfolios which are well known for receiving ETF approval.

The question is why they are willing to make such purchases on Bitcoin.
There's no way they would be stupid in doing that.

You're making some confusion when you talk about "low supply after the halving": the bitcoin's supply is always the same, what is changing after the halving is the reward for the miners, which is cut in half after every halving so what we are actually experiencing is a lower offer of "new" bitcoins because many miners need to sell part of the bitcoins they receive as reward to cover the mining costs and maintenance.

Considering that the halving has been completed and a new ATH has been formed against Bitcoin, so personally of course there is no definite strategy for me in terms of investment, but if you look at trading it might be a good opportunity for the current situation, What is certain is that I don't dare to take risks in the current situation, of course the reason is based on previous experiences.

Bitcoin is indeed a good option to consider, whether it's investment, trading and so on, for me the risk is high for a situation like now, but if you are able to consider the risk, Of course you don't need to hesitate in your decision, you have choices for everything you have to do with your bitcoins.

But you also need to consider information and advice from Bitcoin experts that you know near you, so that you will be more comfortable investing in Bitcoin.

I agree that you should always invest in BTC and it's never going to be a wrong move IMO. Having that volatility would be even great if you trade it and make sure that you are buying the right thing. I believe that if you can see how BTC would go in the long run, you will know that it can be the right time to always buy.

The strategy is just keep DCA-ing until you run out of your cash, thank me later in Q4 2024 - Q1 2025.

And invest in altcoins because you believe Bitcoin price will spikes is strange, there's no guarantee when people are buying Bitcoin, they will buy altcoins. Take a look with the current condition, even Bitcoin stay at $63K-$64K, altcoins keep declining without any reason.

If you look at it the market is definitely moving in a little bit different direction than the previous pre and post halving periods. In the past the bitcoin is normally bearish pre halving and gets to start a bull run months post halving but a look at what happened before this halving shows that the market was in a bull run which was not the case. So right after the halving the correct started to happen and we are in it phase currently.

For me this is a perfect opportunity to accumulate before the full blown bull run starts, my advice for newbies is not to wait longer for any correction but rather to use DCA method to buy what they can afford to buy and then hold in patience. Right after this correction I see the market climbing up again.

Post halving strategy is quite simple, for me it's keep accumulating, thanks to this short term Bitcoin price dip, I know that reaching the peak of bull run can not happen on the short term, so it's accumulate and hodle. As for altcoins, I'd say do you research first before buying any of them to avoid many scam projects that'll take advantage of the bull run to scam unsuspecting investors, you can however hold reputable top altcoins, they're most likely to be bullish after Bitcoin.

Although your prediction may be correct, I think on the contrary, if newbies want to invest, now is the best time. Bitcoin is correcting and if lower prices are not established in the coming days then I believe there will be no second chance this year. This could be bitcoin's final correction before we enter the official bull season.

Investing in bitcoin, we should not bargain too much because the market is unpredictable, just because of bargaining for 10-15%, we will have to pay the price later for missing the x2 x4 bullet train. So invest as soon as possible.

The bull run is right before us but it does not mean we are never going to lose any money so it is still best if we stay vigilant and keep our money safe as much as possible. Upon the increase of bitcoin’s price it is expected for altcoins to follow suit. Although still choose the best possible altcoin because not all altcoins will be able to follow bitcoin’s success.

There is nobody who can "determine" what way the market is going to go. The general consensus is that
we are in a Bull market and the market will continue to rise for at least a number of months.



I hope you dont mean long positions in term of trading because without trading knowledge and experience
long positions will get liquidated every time there is a pull back in the market and the inevitable
"flash crash" designed specifically to liquidate longs.



Bitcoin should be a priority, forget about $hitcoins, the idea of a promising one is an illusion.

So a post halving strategy should be buy now, and again when the market dips and whenever you can
afterwards.

People didn't expect the bull market and a new ATH to be established prior to halving, so things are going differently, in an unexpected way. But there's no problem with the price temporarily going down. It's less than 15% below the ATH point, actually. And I think we can still expect a stronger bull run in the future. For those who want a lower price to invest, I think there will be an opportunity in the future at some point. But also, I don't think this Bitcoin has reached its ceiling this time around in terms of a bull run.

Thriving on predicting bitcoin price after you've invested your funds in it is the architect of where the market sentiments is developed from and it's common as different Investors would keep up with different opinions on the possible future price of bitcoin.
This is actually some set of craps because the prediction doesn't influence the market volume but of the demands and supplies. So I can disagree with you to say bitcoin was being hyped just after the halving.
The halving is actually some privilege mode by which the price of bitcoin falls and then more investors are attracted and so also more Investors could acquire of bitcoin values.

It actually sounds you don't know about the scalability, liquidity and the solidity of bitcoin by which it's made for reliability which blockchains is so highily volatile as the Altcoins which values can be so easily to be depreciated and the potentials of your funds being secured becomes flexible and unreliable.
So I don't see any profitable really to gamble on investing on those AltCoins with the hypes of yielding greater values in the motive of greeds in chasing profits.
Bitcoin is just the best we can genuinely rely on in the sphere of cryptocurrencies so, prioritize your assets on bitcoin and hodl while the profit days of it'd come.

I am one of those few who fell for this false description of the halving. Ofcourse we were made to believe the price increase will come immediately after the halving. But in spite of whether the halving was wrongly explained or not, I have not lost confidence in bitcoin. I am prepared for a long term journey with bitcoin and anyone who wish to make good returns from their bitcoin investment should follow same.

Investing in altcoins is not a bad idea but what the investor should consider is his motive for investing. Investing in altcoins because you think bitcoin price might not appreciate soon is a wrong motive. In whatever coin we intend to invest in, we need to give it time to grow otherwise we would withdraw our investments prematurely and condem the entire system.  I believe we have a lot to gain during this post halving season, we just have to give our investments some time.

Sometimes I feel, if people already know something is about to happen then that thing doesn't happen at all.
If people already know bitcoin price will increase after the halving then everyone would purchase before/during the halving.
If everyone will be waiting to sell after the halving, who would be the people to buy at the other end ?
If there will be no buyers to buy bitcoin at higher rates after the halving then the price wouldn't increase much at all, in fact the price will drop drastically.
So things doesn't always go as planned. Although even I believe that price will increase soon but we cannot accurately say when.
Invest for the long term by buying the dips and don't keep waiting for the right time to buy or sell.

Bitcoin will forever remain the King of cryptocurrency. Only those who invest in altcoins are at risk of getting their assets wiped out. When compared to Bitcoin most altcoins are centralized and lack the proper security to safeguard their customers funds.
I feel very ashamed of myself whenever I read the opinions of experts post halving because I was one of those who thought that the rise in bitcoin price will happen an hour after the halving. Pre halving, I followed the conversation and since it's my first experience being a bitcoin holder I thought that it  is going to be a smooth run. I know better now. I am not even going to keep watching my calendar and Bitcoins price in the next 12 months. I'll keep on the accumulation of Bitcoin while I expect the bull run

New supply decreases by a half but demand can be the same or increase very slowly or sharply. Effects from a Bitcoin halving need a long time to be shown because demand needs time to increase.

Increase of demand will come from a Bitcoin halving noise on media, many people know about Bitcoin having, do their research about Bitcoin, need some time to decide invest money into Bitcoin or not. Their decisions will not be made one day or one week after a halving, so halving effects will need some months or one year to be seen.

The halving event was described inaccurately. Many believed that once it occurred, the price would rise sharply due to the rule of decreased supply and increased demand, but the effect of halving is long-term and historical data tell us that it takes more than 12 months to see its effect clearly, not to mention that the current changes may make the current cycle unique and different from previous cycles.

It is a normal thing in investing if a price does not match predictions. Before buying an asset, of course we have studied or found out about this asset, what the asset's system is or its technology or other things. And after you are sure, invest in what you are sure of. And before the price jumps much higher, I think we can take strategic steps or take the opportunity to increase your assets if the price drops. Every investor is of course different in how they implement or sell their assets, it can be later when the halving arrives or they can hold it much longer. I also prefer to hold my assets for a long period, it is better for me to save in this asset every month even though the price in my opinion is sufficient. high, for me it doesn't discourage me from investing in bitcoin.

The greater the risk, the greater the profit when investing in altcoins. To be honest, altcoins are riskier but I think if we invest at the right time, we can minimize the risk but still have the potential for high returns. If we invest in altcoins during the bear season, it is too risky because many projects can go bankrupt and disappear if the bear season is too harsh. But for projects that can survive the approaching bear and bull season, investing in altcoins will significantly reduce risk.

As we know, during the bull season, the entire market grows very well, so we can consider investing in altcoins in the upcoming bull season. And the important thing is that altcoins should only be used for speculation and if profitable, you should take profits, never consider it a long-term investment. I believe that if we have the knowledge, have a plan and stick to our plan, investing in altcoins will be very interesting and not as bad as many people think.

Hey OP, so what are you expecting and are your short-term and long-term plans in this market or with Bitcoin being viewed the way you are mentioning, or is everything just theoretical? from individuals.

I have gone through many different trading systems with bitcoin and altcoins, so I partly understand the psychology of people who want to make a quick profit, and sometimes they are only guided by data analysis streams but actually they only cause their plans to falter. If we don't get too complicated, the Bitcoin story in the future is expected to completely exceed $100k, so at the current price it is still really attractive for all and the rest is simple (or extremely difficult) is waiting.

Isn't it obvious though that no matter what cycle we are in, majority of the members here prioritized investing their money on Bitcoin and not on some promising altcoin. Definitely the demand will shoot off as we go, after the halving, predictions are 6 digits and there could be guesses that it could even reach $200k.

Not much of a difference I guess even if we are now in the post-halving. DCA, accumulate Bitcoin as much as you can HODL till next year. This strategy has been proven already, so it's just a rinse and repeat process for us. Anyhow, I don't have anything against those who invest on altcoin, it can even give them huge profits as compare to Bitcoin, but still though, they are greater risk for investors as compare to BTC.

Hold on a sec, the halving doesn't exactly make the total supply of Bitcoin low, although it does slow down the creation of new coins. It's like turning down a faucet from full blast to a light trickle. This doesn't stop the flow completely and doesn't reduce the amount of water you already have in the bucket. 

This reduced flow, paired with steady or increasing demand, could theoretically drive prices higher over time.  However whether that happens depends on many factors.  Its not guaranteed. 

With the halving event come and gone,  we are now left to determine if the market now is going as predicted or not, with the reduction in mining rewards, which makes the supply of BTC low and demand high, investors can take advantages of this and adopt long positions and also invest in other altcoins,
After all the hypes leading to the previous halving event which drastically surge the price of Bitcoin at that time, investors are meant to invest before the halving and then sell after the demand, because demand Wil be high and supply will be low, which will aid the surge in price of BTC, thereby putting BTC in the bull direction, which will in turn affect other altcoins,
So in summary investing in BTC at this point in time should be our priority and other promising altcoins. And also taking Risk management strategies just incase the market becomes unfavourable.
