It is actually called the DCA strategy; in this strategy, you don't need to invest a large amount. It doesn't matter if you aren't rich; if you have good intentions to invest and hold, then any amount you can buy. If we don't have a large amount and can't afford to lose, then the DCA strategy is best for us. We can invest a portion of our savings and hold it tight until we have good profits. If you are looking for a bottom, then you may not find it because Bitcoin is unpredictable anyway.
Only those who rush to invest in bitcoin without prior knowledge will decide to buy bitcoin at a full blast, thus buying an amount that you will surely regret once it end up losing. And I have known at lot of these people and end up quitting after experiencing an initial loss with a significant amount. That is why I want to discouraged those people who have no clear mindset about bitcoin, never invest in bitcoin if you want to get rich quick as putting a large amount of capital will never guarantee that your investment will succeed.

Do the DCA instead. Never worry for a small purchase because once you do it consistently, you will still be able to own a huge portfolio of bitcoin in the long run. Just stay patient and timing the market when it offers a big discount on the price of bitcoin.

But investing $10 is not very practical with the fees attached to it, except you choose to store them on a exchange which is not recommended. New investors would try to achieve a balance between investing with what you have, maximizing profits and hang optimal security.
Yes, in this kind of situation where transaction fees are way high, the investor may decide or choose between increasing to an amount he or she is capable of affording or spending within the period we are experiencing high transaction fees such as we have right now and not only tied to buying with $10, we can adjust to suit this kind of situation, take you for instance if you were buying on a week interval you may choose to shift into buying in 2 weeks intervals and combine the two funds to save cost or worst case some can choose to wait for the fees to go down.


We should accumulate for a while and withdraw to our wallet every time we reach a significant number of bitcoins, I think there's nothing too dangerous or too risky. It's true that storing bitcoins on a centralized platform is not recommended, but if it's just a negligible amount, there's nothing to worry about. We need to behave according to our circumstances, not being too rigid or imitating others when our circumstances are different from theirs. Furthermore, not every exchange will collapse, Kraken, coinbase...and many exchanges have existed since 2012 until now, not every exchange will become the 2nd FTX.

This is what I like about Bitcoin as a type of investment in this industry, because no matter how much it costs, you can buy it and save little by little until your balance in your wallet grows.

He doesn't have a fixed amount, so you can buy it; instead, you can buy whatever you can, and you can do it in Bitcoin. Then this is the recognized top crypto, or King, or Father of all cryptocurrency, or isn't it great? And this is also the reason why there were altcoins in this business industry as well.

DCAing demands whatever amount you can use to add to your investment it mustn't be specific amount as in $100 each of the week or month as the case may be, but rather any amount ranging from $10,, $15, $20, $19, $30 on and on.

The concept of DCA couldn't be simplified any further than this, most people find it hard to DCA simply because they set a high weekly limits for themselves and along the line they realize that they're unable to maintain that set limit, and this might discourage them or probably make them just quite.
I always tell people who want to DCA to see it as saving up for something, getting a piggyvest/piggybank and throw in your savings there every day, week or month depending on how your income flow and plans are. It's really not difficult if you visualize it this way, rather than setting a high and specific DCA limit that you might likely not keep to. If you see it as saving up for an event you might just be surprised how much you've been able to realize in such a short period and before you know it, you've accumulated a quite quantity of Bitcoin in your investment.
What those people do not see is that maybe they could be able to maintain those high savings for a few weeks, but after that it is impossible to maintain such rhythm, in a way this is very similar to what we see when people want to lose weight, they set themselves impossible goals by trying to exercise every single day for a few hours while eating almost nothing, and while this could be done for a time, at some point your body will break and demand rest and a good nutrition, making impossible for them to achieve the goals they set for themselves.

In both ways let the investor never run out of income. Whether they invest big or in bits, once there is no income flow. The investment would be as good as not investing at all. Hence, while we set aside money to invest in bitcoin. We need to also make sure that it doesn't affect our earnings or better still look for other means of income. Most people who invest little money in bitcoin, easily go back to spend the money when they need it. Thereby breaching the long term investment agreement that most investors should have in mind while throwing money in bitcoin. I'd say that successful bitcoin investors are successful business men. For instance, micro strategy, invest big money into bitcoin and he's or will succeed in it. Because he's already successful in his field of business. When we are not sure of ourselves financially, that's where the doubt comes to play. Whether to put big or little. In the both category, many didn't maintain their focus, due to life or business challenges that presents them with reasons to sell the coin. Sure, we can start little, but how sure are we that, we'll finish the journey of setting little amount of money, in our control, for 10 - 20 years without spending a dime. That's true spirit of an investor. Why many lose focus, depends on their intentions. Some could be for the profits, but one general reason for financially unstable people is that they have control over the money. They can decide to sell the coin at any given moment. So, whenever they feel threatened by lack of funds they'll run back to their bitcoin and sell in fractions, until it's over. In a nutshell, to achieve this goal, be financially stable first. Then invest.

First of all people need to have clarity on what is bitcoin and how it is gaining value when the fiat keeps falling. Most of the people without proper understanding start to invest and gets caught into traps. Saw a post about a lady who is been said the minimum investment is $4000. People who had heard about the tremendous growth might tend to invest and if the market isn't in their favour they end up losing. Before getting into bitcoin, basic learning is must and the same is possible through investing on small amount and further going to higher investment. As said it have got the 8th decimal divisible and we should start at the earliest to experience the best of it.

You have said my physical campaign awareness on bitcoin to people. A lady met me one day and Sid someone told her that for her to own a bitcoin she has to purchase it with the minimum of $4,000 USD and immediately I have to reconciled that mentality from her and told that she can invest with any form from $5 US dollar and that should be depends on the current dollar exchange rate and after the orientation she was very happy and took my number so she can call me to start the investment.

It is possible that the person who told the lady is an agent of a company, possibly a Ponzi scheme one since these kind of company often have a fix entry level.  It is a good thing that you are able to intercept this lady from being scammed by a Ponzi company agent.

Yes many people have that misconception that it is only big amount can be used to invest in bitcoin but that is not true. In my country of you have #4000 which is equivalent to $5. Though I don't blame them because they are ignorant of the ecosystem.

It is because many people who are interested in investing Bitcoin do not do their own research and are often swayed by companies that exploited Bitcoin.  Like during the time before Bitcoin get popular in my country, there are already some international fraud company that are exploiting the Bitcoin nature and are using Bitcoin as a front to scam people and their entry fee is really high which makes people thinks that investing in Bitcoin really needs a huge amount of money.  It was way back as early as 2015 before our government acknowledge Bitcoin as mode of payment in 2017.

Although the idea of the need of huge capital to invest in Bitcoin has already been debunked for countless times, there are still people who thinks that huge fund is needed to acquire Bitcoin since they are just looking at the price of it as a whole and not how Bitcoin has this divisibility.

 Bitcoin is expensive and we are all aware of that. So if we jump on buying bitcoin risking our hard-earned money, maybe the outcome may not be as good as what we expected most especially that we are dealing with a volatile asset here.  So the best option is to buy bitcoin with our spare money that we don't care to lose. And we can only maximize our purchase if we also timing it when there is bearish season in the market so we can buy at its affordable price.

The challenge here is not actually to buy a lot nor buy it at its affordable price, but the real challenge comes when you want keep a sustainable amount of bitcoin without falling on the market volatility that will push you to sell at a losing price.

It doesn’t matter if you are a low net worth, low earning individual. You still want to avoid losing purchasing power of your savings don’t you. There is no better hedge than bitcoin so like you say OP, you can invest very little. If you are able to DCA for a number of years & be very patient, your money will do much better in bitcoin than it will sitting in the bank suffering from annual inflation.

That's the correct mindset of a true investors who truly value their hard earned money rather than sitting them all in the bank which gradually losses it's purchasing power over time. Though I don't suggest either to put all your savings to bitcoin, but having bitcoin as part of your several kinds of savings/investment will help you financially as long as you're patient.
However, some people today are just looking to put their money in bitcoin hoping that they would become rich overnight or a short period of time, clearly doesn't know how bitcoin works. Those are not called investors, they just want easy money, I call them crypto trend-setter lol.

Most people who are new to and interested in Bitcoin think what the OP said. This also happened to several friends in my work environment, who ended up missing the price of $16K - $20K - $25K - $30K, yes with the same problem because the money target for buying Bitcoin had not been met, even though I had given them the understanding that we could buy Bitcoin in fractions. This is just their own decision, I have explained and given some directions, but all investment decisions are up to them, even if they are late in entering and get a price of $35K, this could be a lesson or motivation in purchasing/investing in Bitcoin in the future for them.

many of the new uninformed investors are missing the ideal concept of DCA, the misconception for them is that they think you must have a certain amount before you start to DCA or DCA each of the time. But apparently it's not like that.

DCAing demands whatever amount you can use to add to your investment it mustn't be specific amount as in $100 each of the week or month as the case may be, but rather any amount ranging from $10,, $15, $20, $19, $30 on and on.

Sticking to a specific amount before DCAing can make an investor miss the dip in the market that before he can make up to the specific amount the market price would have rised above the dip as it were. The DCA can be likened to a savings box otherwise known as piggy bank any amount can be put into it.

If you are in dam need to invest in Bitcoin, you can buy with as little as $10 and above. Bitcoin is divisible, meaning you can own some fractions, and not a must you will buy the whole of it.
I was inspired to write this topic seeing some of my close friends who had shown interest in buying some Bitcoin some time ago, talk about how they want to invest a significant amount of money, one of them even told me that the little he can start with is $200, and which he missed the opportunity to buy BTC when the price was around $25k in the process of waiting to buy when he has up to $200.

So I guess we have plenty of people who are interested in investing in Bitcoin today but have this kind of mindset, and they want to start investing only with a huge sum amount of money and in the end, the money never gets completed the way they want it and these make them keep missing out on buying opportunities at this cheap price we have for a year plus now.

Bitcoin is created in such a way that you can invest even with as little as $10.
If You face this challenge, you can try out this method to achieve your investment goal in Bitcoin, which is saving some money in a Box and which some people found yielding positive results in the end, and believe me, with time, your goal will be met too if you properly apply this method of saving.

For instance, back then, There was a time when I wanted to save money for something crucial, so I gave myself a six-month target to achieve that, I started cutting down those unnecessary expenses of mine and started saving those side changes in a box, and after that duration of six months, guess what? I marveled at the amount of money that I saved in that box.

So what does that tell you?, it tells you that if you want to invest in Bitcoin but don't have that Big amount of money, give yourself a target and start buying with the little you have $10, $20, 30, $50 and above depending on what that suits your income, I promise you from my experience you would be amazed in the end with the amount of BTC you would accumulate for that 3 months, 6 months or even in 1 year you would give yourself.

The bottom line is that it is better to start buying now with the little money you have than waiting and the time passes by.
Bitcoin is still fucking cheap right now to compare the price it would be in the future.

Hope this can encourage someone who may find him or herself in such a situation.

People would really be that missing out opportunity because of those wrong assumptions because of that lacking of experience and knowledge about it. This is the mistake of those people who dont make out some in depth research before they would really be making out such decision.If they are really just that aware that they could be able to buy up in fractions then they wont really be missing out on buying into those times where
the price is still $25k but well whats done is done and there's nothing we can do about it. There are really just those people who do miss out on taking up action just because of lacking knowledge and awareness of things.

When it comes to investment with Bitcoin then you wont really be needing that whole coin for you to be bought up.Just like been said that it could really be done in fractions on which means that if you are really that
going for long term then buying up in small scale would do. You wont really be caring about the price entry you are buying since you are really that going for long term aspect.
There are really just those people who would really be targeting out on buying a whole coin which we know that not all would really be able to afford on doing so.
For me, i do even struggle on saving up 0.1 basing in my own salary and expenses on which icant really be able to save up that so easily but doesnt mean that it would be impossible
on doing such thing, you can do it on gradual manner. It all matters with your own approach.

The low income earners who cannot afford high end investments have an opportunity with bitcoins. Bitcoins has provided an opportunity for everyone from all financial levels of life to be able to invest no matter what you earn. This opportunity has made it possible for some people to have a change of financial status and make it possible for others. People who do not have a lot of money and no other investments ought to be more serious with investing any little money they can spare because bitcoin provides the same opportunity that the investment other people have provides for them.

I literally started with peanuts worth of crypto. Since I was a broke high school student when I started my crypto journey. Most of the money that I collect and save for my portfolio came from signature campaigns in this forum, where the majority is spent for my daily expenses. I learned about DCA and started doing a variation of this investment practice that worked for my budget, since the main consensus is that all you need to do is consistently put money to your investment pool, regardless of how much it is.

Eventually it all paid off and now I can proudly say I comfortably live off of the hard work and crypto that I accumulated over the years. I wouldn't have come to this point if I complained about my situation and wished for more. Sometimes, working with what's given to you's the best thing you can do.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
Just note that you don't need to choose DCA if you can afford it. This is a misconception that makes people DCA, when they could be buying in a normal way. DCA is for people who don't have savings, but have steady income, which allows them to spend a certain % of that income every week or every month, depending on how they get paid.
People who have a million dollars in the bank will not benefit from DCA, it's the other way round. In most situation dividing your capital into 3 or 4 parts to buy in bulk every time there's a significant drop in price will give you a much greater profit.

I agree with OP about buying what you can because 2 most common things people keep repeating about investing in bitcoin are:
It's too expensive, I can't afford it
I'm too late

You don't need to own instantly a big amount of bitcoin in your wallet. In fact, a lot of bitcoin hodlers do not start with a big purchase but only with an amount that they can easily afford to lose. That's the secret in any investment, know your limits most especially if you are still in the process of learning your investment. You don't need to rush owning a bag of bitcoin, you will definitely achieved it in time through patience and market understanding.

They say bitcoin is only for rich and high status in the community, but we all know its not. That's the good thing about bitcoin. You are free to invest even with a small amount of penny but never expect for immediate profits but be more open for initial losses. That way, you will be able to overcome the risk to lose.

For an investor to start his or her investment plans with a $10 capital, the investor is just applying the DCA method to his investment, an investor don't need a lot of money to start bitcoin investment, this is the most interesting part of Bitcoin investment, there are other investments out there that one must have a hundred box or a thousand box before he or she can start to invest it them but Bitcoin isn't like that.
But there are things that most of us don't understand is that one must have something doing before he or she can invest into Bitcoin, in my local board, I have come across this post economy affects Bitcoin investors, and it's true, that is why I said one must have something doing before he or she can invest into Bitcoin.
As many people believes that they can invest any little amount of money into Bitcoin that's why even the jobless ones invest into Bitcoin even when they know that they don't have the money to accumulate.
