What is the riskiest or most unconventional action you have taken in order to purchase Bitcoin during its early stages, despite the lack of guarantees or promises that it would appreciate in value?
In early days of Bitcoin, it has no recognized value and the first physical deal is Bitcoin for 2 Pizzas. 10,000
BTC for only two pizzas but it was considered as a first successful Bitcoin trade in history.
I am sure that nobody traded Bitcoin in early days with guarantee that it will have value like $10 or $10,000 in future. They did it mostly because of curiosity and some belief.
Nevertheless, it's a bad choice as majority will agree that it's very bad to do that. And the longer you stay and be in this game? the better you realized that there are one fool proof strategy to invest, that is to do DCA, and invest what you can afford to lose. So to answer, non, it was just a slow process for me to accumulate what I have right now, there are times that I have to sell for emergencies and then re-invest again.
No one can guarantee when Bitcoin hits this price or that price. They only can guess but guess is not correct.
Dollar cost averaging is a good method when you invest in Bitcoin. No guess, no prediction, no gamble is needed. You only have belief, knowledge, good discipline to DCA with time and good practice to store your bitcoins safely.
