A quick question from the OGs.
I have $4000 in USDT.
Should I buy BTC now for all of that or wait?
Not sure what to do with that.
When you are considering investing more into bitcoin (presuming you already own some BTC) you need to consider lumpsum, dca and buying on dips... so how much of your $4k to plug into each or any of those categories would depend on if you have any money already dedicated in those categories... .
Furthermore, you need to consider your whole situation including your cashflow, how much you already have in bitcoin (which you seem to have already decided that you want $4k more to be in bitcoin), your other investments, your view of bitcoin compared with other investments, your timeline, your risk tolerance, and your time, abilities to plan, learn and adjust your BTC portfolio along the way, if at all,.. presumably investing at least 4 years, no?
In other words, just market buy now... might help the rest of us to get a 5-minute pump.
I've just bought for 500€ and I will keep doing that DCA each month until I retire. My advise for bigger sums is to divide them at least in 3 parts and buying now with the first part. In case the price falls enough, fire the next buy and so on.
You cannot just retire early, ivomm?
I am going to create a hypothetical that is not necessarily meant to be your situation, but let's say for example you have a pension that is $50k per year and it has a bunch of other perks that cause it to go up another 50% , so it is really worth around $75k per year of already earned money once your retirement date comes, so you do not feel comfortable leaving that on the table, but you have a BTC stash that is something like 100BTC, so you feel pretty good about the BTC having a current value of $3.3 million (income of $132k) ($33k BTC prices), and currently with BTC volatility uncertainties, you might want to value the BTC ONLY at the 208-week moving average of $13,333 - so therefore only $1.33 million (income of $53.2k).
But if BTC prices were to go up to $500k and then correct back down to $100k, at some point the 208-week moving average is going to move up to $100k too.. and that would cause some amount of certainty that your BTC stash is worth several multiples in excess of the pension that you might end up leaving on the table, no? In other words, valuing BTC at $100k would cause a $10 million BTC portfolio value (income of $400k). At some point, the pension would start to seem like peanuts compared to the value of freedom, no?
I understand that some people still do get some pleasures from their jobs, but there is a breaking point at some price point, too, no? Those breaking points need to be considered no, whether it is having assurances of 2x the salary, 10x the salary or 50x the salary? or some other breaking point to cause a desire to split away from current job duties and activities or maybe just renegotiate the terms, perhaps?
