Topic: What's your most preferred Bitcoin investment strategy right now? (Read 418 times)

According to my experience while playing Crypto, the combination of the HODL and DCA methods is the most effective in providing profits. Used in any situation. This combination of bull and bear markets is able to survive in the face of market turmoil and is even able to provide maximum profit.

I will start buying Bitcoin during a bear market or when BTC is in the current situation May 8 2023 with the DCA system then I will keep the BTC that I have until the Bitcoin price rises again after the halving. So the Hodl method is still my favorite style today.

I can say that DCA is really a good strategy for me right now, and it is also working well for me. A friend advised that a golden opportunity to buy more Bitcoin is coming towards the month of November this year, but I really doubt that. We only speculate about the market, which is not always certain, so I just do my DCA while still waiting for that golden opportunity to buy. Most times, the market always goes beyond human expectations. I remember telling my friend to buy Bitcoin last year when the price was still at $16k, but he also hoped a better opportunity would come for him to buy Bitcoin if the price dropped to $12k, but he was disappointed that the market did not drop further, and he had to buy Bitcoin earlier this year when the price got to $20k. Perhaps if I have $300 to invest in Bitcoin in a month, I can decide to buy $50 worth of Bitcoin weekly until I spend the $300 for that month. It just helps me make more profit when the market is going green.

Holding is the better option for a successful results and minimizes loses but I think whenever you have profit then get your profit with remaining money being invested in bitcoin so your money will increases and in the same time you will take your profit from it. But if you don't get profit and hold for up to six or seven years then it's also beneficial but as we know the fact the market is not stable and constant so for achievements we should take every step with great efforts and strong decision.

Buy Low Sell High? isn't the best and still the strategy many of us using , because it would be the safest one?


while there are many that believes in Arbitrage  , yet this is one risky thing to do specially if you are a small traders and has low internet connection that cannot sustain the speed of the market changing prices.

I believe that the normal way is still the best, HODLING and the mentioned above is what I am still doing now.

Link that you can check on mate .

I'll go with these both because if you do both, in the long term you will end up with a lot of Bitcoins, and possibly have profits just in case Bitcoin will pump along the way until the long term.
When doing, this is tough because you will experience high volatility along the way and it may affect your emotion to apply these two ways.

I'm still loyal to HODL. and I also don't do staking on my Bitcoin, because I think, with the amount of Bitcoin that I have, the results won't be so worthy for staking. So it's better to HODL as usual while increasing the accumulated amount little by little. Moreover, in my opinion, this year I can't miss or regret not increasing my holding amount, I'm sure this will be good for preparation for the next month.
I am also no longer trading Bitcoin with this current market condition. I can no longer take higher risks.

For now, I would say hodling is the safest especially if you chose bitcoin as your long term investment. Though you can’t make quick profits from hodling alone, but it will definitely help you reap massive returns if you end up selling at its all time high. Trading is another way too but it requires a lot of preparation and needs skills and strategies before you can say you’ll make it work, and certainly more risky than hodling.

I prefer the 1 & 2.

These are the most convenient ways of acquiring bitcoin as an investment. If it's about investing then these are the ways to do it unlike the 3rd choice which is trading bitcoin.

It's hassle for me and more risky than those two that have been said. Stacking sats may not be felt too quickly upon doing but its long term effect is going to give you massively benefits based on the experience of everybody and me. 

If you like to became the bitcoin trader,you must do learn on crypto trading using some videos from you tube.Fore mostly you need to learn the fact,which is good exchange and bad one.Then begin the trade with the minimum of 50 dollars,because if you lose 50 dollars it won’t your life a lot.But after learning of crypto trading,it’s easy to do get of 50 dollars as profit from the single trade itself.Mostly I will inverse my savings to the bitcoin trading.Then HOLD is my only way to earn more money from trading.I don’t sell below my buying price even at emergency.

I'm not really adding to my "collection" at the moment, unless we count the signature campaign money. I have a decent amount of BTC that I'm holding and that's my priority at the moment, to keep holding until someone pays me enough to make me feel like spending some of my holdings. I don't need money right now, I could hold for many years, which is why this is my short and long term plan for bitcoin, to hold and let it grow in value. It's not about what I can waste my bitcoin on. The key is not to waste it at all and spend only when you need to.

In addition to "stacking Sats" and "HODLing," there are other investment strategies people can explore, such as:

Swing Trading: This strategy involves buying and holding assets for a few days or weeks to take advantage of short-term price movements. It requires close monitoring of market trends and quick decision-making to maximize profits.

Day Trading: This strategy involves buying and selling assets within a single day to take advantage of intraday price movements. It requires significant knowledge of the market, quick reactions, and a tolerance for high levels of risk.

Value Investing: This strategy involves identifying undervalued assets and making long-term investments based on this assessment. It requires in-depth research and a long-term perspective, but can lead to significant returns over time.

What you are describing is probably the most popular strategy that I have followed. I have read lots of articles/books about it but they were never published and it might be a little hard for most of them to get to know about it. But for the most popular cryptocurrency investment strategy, you are still not sure what they are actually using but instead you just need to be specific. 
 
What you think of this is the same thing happening in Bitcoin as it is in any other cryptocurrency and if you follow what you have said and compare it to what you would like the strategy for, then you can really get used to it

It's difficult to hold because we see the price plummets and that affects us emotionally. But those who have experienced it can say that it's worthwhile.

That's nothing beats this strategy and partner it up with DCA and you're all good and just effortlessly going to wait for the right time but this isn't for all, Bitcoin is the most applicable crypto to do this.

While some alts can be said of good hold but in confidence, it's best with bitcoin.

Seriously, I have never stopped believing I can hold even though I know how much I struggle to. I know I have to learn to discipline myself more and avoid spending on other projects, before making a concise budget that would include an apportioned cash for my preferred DCA strategy of investment.
I know how difficult it would be and would learn the patience to endure market volatility inorder to achieve the goal which is time frame driven.

Nothing beats holding, honestly!

Those that have never hold will say that it's useless and will rely on day trading. Well, you got to experience the presence and essence of holding and trading.

In the end, you might say that people who have been suggesting holding are right on what we're saying because it's unbeatable strategy unless you allow yourself to be out of patience.

Yeah, there are definitely other investment strategies out there that crypto investors can explore to maximize their profits. One popular strategy is day trading, which involves buying and selling cryptocurrencies within a single day in an attempt to profit from short-term price fluctuations. Another strategy is swing trading, which involves holding onto a cryptocurrency for a period of days or weeks in order to profit from medium-term price movements.

Personally, I think that the holding strategy is a good fit for my investment plan. I believe in the long-term potential of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and I think that holding onto them for an extended period of time is the best way to maximize profits. Additionally, I think that the 'stacking Sats' strategy can be a great way to gradually accumulate Bitcoin over time and diversify my portfolio.

That being said, I think it's important for investors to do their own research and find the strategy that works best for them based on their individual financial goals and risk tolerance.

Buy on the dips then hold for the long term. This is the best combination as a reliable investment strategy. I am quite realistic about this strategy as I have profited from it time after time. Make sure you buy in every deep/ correction and hold, if you do then i'm sure you will receive the return. There are no strategies worth exploring if you aim to make long-term profits, so the above strategies should be of great use to whoever you are.


I've explained it above, it's the best strategy for me so far.

Right now doing DCA and holding until the new ATH is achieved is my strategy, I want to try trading but never have enough time to do something like an analysis since I'm already busy with my work in real life. a year ago I'm doing staking for my Bitcoin to get passive income in a bear market but due to recent bad news in CEX like FTX collapse I move my Bitcoin to my personal wallet and did hodling till now.

I think first and two are just best combination of going with it. Primarily, HODL is something I’m always into so that I can keep depositing more and more into my cold storage. What you stated in the first point that’s stacking would be impressive & I am working on the same simultaneously. I’m not sure how many of you doing this but it’s really good idea.

For example, working with the faucets. Now some believe it’s waste of time. But over my journey I have accumulated $130 bucks worth sats. Isn’t that’s good thing in the “stacking” version. 😃

It is surely a slowest way but it’s free and all you have to do is work on bunch of faucets as well as online work sites. Believe me its best to see your faucet pay account go up with that balance.

In my opinion, the safest and most comfortable way is to do DCA, because this strategy will help us to be more disciplined in investment instruments and increase large purchases when prices fall, then buy less when prices rise. Without having to pay attention to trend conditions and also without caring about price fluctuations because what is done is only for the long term.
and the DCA investment decisions that we are making at this time will have a big impact in the future if done regularly and consistently in doing so, besides that the easiest thing to choose is to buy when the price is cheap and resell it when there is an increase, the most important thing is profitable and all methods are still necessary patience.

Too many people who are like me and we think the same, just invest whatever you can afford nad keep doing that. This is not really a shocking new method, just put some part of your investment into crypto and you should be doing fine. I personally feel like the best thing I can do about bitcoin at this moment is to buy it, as long as I can buy it and keep storing it safely, then one day I will be rich. There is no shortcut, there is no quick way, there is no trick to this, just buy bitcoin as much as you can, and not just once, keep constantly buying it, and keep doing that for many years and you will get rich, as simple as that. Some people still look for other ways when the solution is right in our hands at this moment.

In the crypto-investing universe, there's no universal playbook. Some folks opt to stack Sats, others embrace HODLing, and yet others trade with the ferocity of a stock market on amphetamines. As for yours truly, I'm a die-hard HODLer. It may lack the razzle-dazzle, but it's a proven tactic. Plus, it lets me holler "HODL" like an inebriated fan at a soccer match.

But in all seriousness, HODLing is a fantastic route to long-term wealth accumulation. It's akin to nurturing a sapling – growth takes time, but the payoff is worth it. Sure, risks accompany any investment method. With HODLing, though, patience and intestinal fortitude are key. It's like enduring a horror flick – there'll be jolts, but perseverance leads to triumph.

In search of a thrilling and lucrative approach? HODLing's your ticket. Just exercise due diligence and avoid risking more than you can lose

In cryptocurrency the first coin for investment is bitcoin and in bitcoin the best strategy is to DCA. One can see history of how DCA can benefit you in the long run compared with short term trading or day trading. To me right time to invest is bear market and we need to HODL patiently or sell during bull market. Of course one must be willing to take risk if he is investing in bitcoin. Otherwise there is no point in coming to crypto trading.

The goal remains the same, friend, but I agree that the method is different. You and me maybe they even have the same goal in investing, namely to make a profit and it is very unlikely to be different.
Regarding methods or strategies, I admit that we and those out there are different in carrying out investment patterns and it depends on how each of us personally sees every suitable opportunity based on expertise.

I tend to say this investment strategy really depends on the plans of each user.
The simple advice is to buy and hold, but the time frame is up to you. While you can still develop your own strategy and combine them, especially when buying.

Some people will hold it for some time until the target selling price is reached. So I think everyone will never have the same plan, even you and I definitely don't have the same in this investment plan.

Between hodl and trading, I am more interested in the hodl strategy and I still apply it to this day.
As long as I am close to the market, I think that implementing a hold strategy is still very good to do before the target is reached.
For Bitcoin investors who choose the long term, they are very comfortable with the hold pattern because they are not too preoccupied with falling prices.

It looks like a buy, dip, hold pattern. Still fits perfectly. But I also think that each one has their own strategy.

This is interesting point since I had experience these hodling in other cryptocurrency and it doesn't go well. This might be different with bitcoin but if you think, it is really advantageous if you maximize the market movement through trading. In this way, you could be earning profit at a very short time. Also, another advantage of trading is that you can modify and align your strategies on the condition of the market as well as how risky each decision is.


Agreed since trading should be employed with strategies that you should put an effort to learn and master. You would definitely fail with trading but these fails would strengthen your experience with it so that you can better trade in the future.

HODL prominent coins is a good strategy, especially when there's presence of the bull market. Cash is the real currency we used in stocking the house with food and also paying our bills daily. Digital currency is more profitable because there's no presence of third party, youithe one in control of your money. Cryptocurrency is risky and should be traded with good plans setup, risks management and stable emotions. I made my savings, preserving some in the fiat currency, we do have needs and wants daily and accomplishing them should be out ultimate priority.

all investments require calm in making choices. including not panicking when you see the market fall. DCA is widely used, even many beginners are more interested in using DCA because it is easy to apply. But the challenge is also the same, how consistent investors are in their investment planning. some like to buy in bulk at the start and just hold on. but there are those who like to buy in stages on a regular basis based on the planned allocation. both are good to apply.

With bitcoin investment, I also think DCA would best fit for it as long term hodling will help ensure bigger profits in the future. But even so, regardless if it’s long term or short term goal, DCA will still be a lot helpful as it may lower our stress and risk level. Though trading is quite more promising and overrated when it comes to bigger profits accumulation, but long term hodling is still as good as trading too as long as you’ll never be tempted to sell when price crash suddenly appears.

Getting involved in the market day in and day out. This is simply trading the daily volatility that is also why it is called day trading. Emotions and one's psychology is crucial part of this strategy because every time you're in front of charts, you are responsible to create high-quality decisions. Be objective, analytical, and not based on emotions.

One should really be thinking in probabilities. Actively get in front of charts and would demand a level of understanding. That is why trading for a living is like any profession to master. It would take years, many failures and trial and errors. This is the game I want to play. This is the way to make easy money, the hardest way because it requires self-mastery and one's methodology.

At the end of the day, DCA is just a way to average your buying price lower so you can still make profits when the price moves up. At least that's what I understand from how experienced traders share their tips.
If by staking you refer to locking your Bitcoin with a centralized party, I don't think that's a good idea. The protection in case something terrible happens is rare, not to mention you don't control your coins at all. It's very risky and not the best choice if your risk profile is not that high. I'd suggest people avoid them if possible, and just DCA even if they wanted that passive income that bad.

All of us who work in cryptocurrency want to hold on. It is true that those who do not have cash savings are better off not holding. For those of us who work here and make a living, our needs are always close at hand. So at any time we have to sell those held investments. It has been seen that there are times when I have held but for necessity I have to sell the investment held at a very low price. So it is better for us not to hold.I'm not holding anything back at this point. I immediately convert whatever I get into my country's money. Because need is always with us.

I'm still holding back and continuing to do DCA while the bitcoin market is still low as it is now. For the time being, both things are working well for me and supported by market conditions that are still slowly improving, it gives me more opportunities to collect bitcoins.

But if you know much about trading, you can try it and collect more bitcoins. As long as market conditions have not yet experienced a larger reversal, we must use this opportunity to our advantage. You have to find a strategy that suits you because each of us has a different strategy.

I would like to agreeing with you but I wanna also say that making DCA strategy is always good when you are going to trade whether is can be short-term trading or it can be also for long-term trading. Because I think the crypto market is unstable most of the time and due to this instability the price always goes up and down so it will always be better not to invest your entire fund together in the same range. So for avoiding risk and to earn a perfect profit I think DCA making is better for both long-term and short-term trading.

DCA is a good strategy in Bitcoin investing especially when the market moves from bearish to bullish trend. There are different ways people invest in Bitcoin. Someone is trading Bitcoin because Bitcoin is going to bullish and have the probability to get success. Many people are staking. But the most important thing is to me that I am holding bitcoins. I'm not collecting bitcoins for the short term profit rather trying to invest it for the long term. For me, holding is the most effective strategy for the long term in Bitcoin. Here my risk comparatively will be less and profit margin will be higher.

I have suggested this for so long, all you have to do is keep on following DCA for a long enough time and you should be fine, nobody should be losing too much money when you consider that all you have to do is buy DCA style and keep doing that for many years.

Bitcoin investment is easy, it is us that makes it so much harder because we try to do stuff that would not be that easy for any of us. Like trying to buy low and sell high is awesome, because if you can buy low and you can sell high then you will be doing awesome. However, most people fail to do that and they start selling with panic when it starts to go down. Don't do that, buy more when it goes down so you can make a bigger profit when it goes up and you should be fine.

Trading is one of the ways of investing in Bitcoin and it isn't much of a risk as people say it is when you have learnt very well and understood what you're doing. The problem most newbies have is that they rush into trading without understanding how to go about it. They feel with their luck and gambling skills that they can use same technique for the market and it'll work out for them.

For those who use that technique, beginners luck helps them when they just started but as time goes in, they'll realize that they don't understand anything about the market and will quit but before then, they might have lost some money. I use trading to get capitals to assist me in accumulating Bitcoin sometimes.

Everyone is have his own investment strategy, and my investment strategy might not work for you, so I believe it’s better everyone get his own strategy. For me my best investment strategy is Holding, which have been working perfectly for me for years, any cash am having and I won’t be using for that particular time, I always use it to accumulate more bitcoin and I don’t really care if bitcoin is going to dump more or pump.

DCA is the best strategy, though I don't usually give much attention to this if I am buying to hold for the long term, whatever coin or token I chose to invest in, before I make such decision, I usually visualize and set my selling price target in my mind, and as long as I am buying the coin way below my targeted selling price, it no longer matters to me whether DCA or not, I just buy at whatever price I meet the coin when ever I feel like topping up my bag..

DCA best works for me when I am buying a coin with the target of selling it off for profit in the shortest period of time.

For newbies, knowing they are more greedy than experienced traders or hodlers, they will surely want to be more active in trading because they really believe that it could be the best way to make them rich instantly. But when reality hits them, that they are more prone to losses when trading, that’s the time they start to settle on hodling. Even myself, I was also like that before, but now I realized that there is better opportunity to make profits from long term hodling, just be patient and never get bothered with price fluctuations, surely you will make it big in the end.

To me, HODL is the best strategy because I don't have enough time to monitor the crypto market that is controlled by market makers in the name of trading Bitcoin; instead, I hold my Bitcoin and set a target date for when I will sell my Bitcoin and then set aside the wallet until then.

This strategy HODL can only be done if you can be patient to keep your Bitcoin for some time in order to get more profit, but you will have to invest the amount you will not use anytime soon unless an urgent issue that is very important that deserve to be solved by all means.

There’s no need to complicate things, taking as easy as DCA for long term hodling is still profitable though. That’s the reason why a lot of newbies or legends in the forum are still hodling for life. And with the recent price drop for bitcoin, DCAing is the best option. The more you DCA, the lesser the risk you put into your investment.

Lol no, hodl is a typo someone made way back in the day when they wanted to write hold, that's about it and nothing more. That became a meme and everyone started to say hodl instead of hold, it's basically right that you hold for your dear life, because it's bigger than hold, it's not just holding, but it is holding even when there is chaos.

Hold even if it goes down 50%, hold until it gives you 10x, those are not simple holding, that's not something you usually see in stock markets, that's something you do for profit and that's awesome. I personally believe that the best thing to do would be making sure that you are profiting from it by giving it some time. You may not make a profit in a day or two, but you could in a year or two.

HODL can be considered the best task when you have good amount of Bitcoins in your wallet. But to be honest I don’t consider this as an strategy. Rather for a middle class man, this is just a pure and safe analysis. Holding the Bitcoins for a long period of time is the only method that is safe, and slow in generating the profits. We also know that Bitcoins are limited in number and the demand to accumulate the coin is increasing among the masses, so if you hold the coin for a longer period of time, then in future when the price will be high, we can sell the coins in high price and can generate high profit from it.

The best thing would be to combine both DCA and HOLD strategies together and you should be good for both the short and long term. Seeing if the price starts correcting after hitting $30.5k, one should get ready to start doing DCA as it falls down further, and once it starts going up again, they should simply hold on to their nerves.

The price might not go too deep this time, some people are expecting it to go around $20k but I would say that is a lot to expect, it might go around $24k or something and even that would be a great price for people to buy more if they want.

It all depends one’s knowledge and financial situation. Trading will be looked at by those who possess the trading skills but a raw individual in the market will be taking a huge risk to trade. People who are eager to make lots of profits look also at trading.

The Holding method is actually the best and most secure strategy for someone with little knowledge of crypto. Those that see bitcoin in particular as a store of value just buy and leave their funds there, some for future profits and others to avoid the depreciation that affects the fiat.

DCA strategy is used by mainly salary or weekly income earners that wants to have their funds stack in bitcoin. This method is my most preferred because it doesn’t requires much knowledge like that of trading and when bitcoin is on downturn trend the risk is easily reduced than those holding. The DCA method is preferred by me because it kind of capitalizes on the loss ground gain by early adopters. With DCA I could accumulate more and also reduce risk of buying at higher price

DCA is the easiest way to get more exposure in the market especially if you have a limited budget.
I've been doing this since last year when the price are still cheaper, and right now I can say its all worth it. DCA is the best strategy to those who don't have much time to analyze and monitor the market, usually they are the one who have a long term goal and personally I will sell if the price reaches the level of $50k again. In DCA you should have your target, holding for longer time might not be ok as you may miss the opportunity to take profit since dumping are inevitable as well.

Actually, I thought of it as if there's really no meaning on it but a misspelled word just as been said and posted by gamekyuubi. Anyway, that's not important if there's a meaning or none because it's just the same. There have been other terms that's been used every time we're on a bull run, IIRC on 2017 and backwards, you'll mostly hear and read people say about these two words.

• when moon? [moon]
• when lambo? [lambo]

The answer to your question, What's your most preferred Bitcoin investment strategy right now, will vary depending on the money you have.

• Whoever has surplus money and does not want to use it now, HODL will be better for him instead of DCA because the value of bitcoin is variable and increasing, while the value of cash will decrease with time.
• Whoever has a few money that he strives to save, DCA is better for him, as he will buy every week for a fixed amount, and if he gets a financial surplus, he will not change this policy because an emergency situation may suddenly happen to him.
• Whoever has free time will try to trade or learn a skill that generates additional income for him.

HODL and DCA
When combined together they do wonders. And although whichever one is selected is dependent on the goal the individual has set for themselves.
As an individual whose goal is 1 bitcoin by 2024. I have adopted the DCA investment strategy. It helps me build consistency and my mind is always in the state of rest because I do not get to be worried about the market volatility, FUD and all of those other unforeseen circumstance. Now that the price of bitcoin is up, it still doesn't matter to me. So these two strategies are the top strategies on my list the others are secondary.

I have two major strategies that I've been using regarding my bitcoin saving lifestyle, i use DCA to buy bitcoin which is a little by little method of accumulating bitcoin and in addition, i do use the holding method on my investment to keep the coins for a while to serve as an asset that helps me have financial freedom over time with what i have, doing this doesn't mean that one can not partake in having experience with bitcoin price volatility, because this will alwa occur but we make more profitability when we hodl till bullrun is achieved.

I don't think newbies like HODL because newbies are people who don't have much experience but always want to make money quickly. Most newbies will start with trading, especially futures trading, because they think that just buying low and selling high will be profitable and won't take too long. But after having a bad experience in trading, they start thinking about holding for a long as it is less risky as well as better return.
To be honest, some people in my locality get rich with bitcoin, but mostly holding, I haven't seen anyone get rich through trading, so I'm also a long-term holder.

I thought HODL stands for "hold on dear life" as you hold on your funds waiting for the right timing to have your calls. I don't used this method as you just wait for the high pump of the Bitcoin without guarantee when it will happens since its a volatile system. Plus in the term HODL, if you wait for profit and you'll need some money then it's not recommended. In the OP list mentioned above I'll stick into trading as you can control whenever to buy and sell for you to profit, of course its not that easy there's also the risk that your money get liquidated. Still its up to you whatever strategies suits for you, you don't have to follow anyone's capability as we have different skills and knowledge when it comes to crypto.

I'm not active as of now on trading so I would say I only buy low sell high Bitcoin from time to time. Most of my bitcoin are on HODL for a certain purpose, I'm still waiting for the next bull run and gonna buy something with the profits. I believe it depends on each people who have Bitcoin on what to do about it, but newbies prefer HODL I guess if I'm not mistaken because that's the easiest way to make profits in the long run if you do have a lot of patient as well.

I think this is what they are calling "Dollar-Cost Averaging".
Well, accumulating Bitcoin overtime is for me the safest approach when it comes to investing in cryptocurrency. Buying at once can also be a good strategy, but the bad negative thing on that way is that, you might lose an opportunity if Bitcoin goes even lower in price, and you don't have money to buy it at a lower price.

Overall, stacking sats, or Dollar-Cost Average is kind of the same that you are stacking Satoshis. The only difference I guess is that... there's no difference on it.

Well, that term really became popular especially in this forum. This is why I love the forum. There are many things that happened only here, and will only happen here. That infamous HODL, some famous names like Satoshi, Hal etc. posted here, the person behind the infamous 10,000 Bitcoin pizza.

Anyway, I guess there's no need for an explanation with this one already because it's on the name already. On the other hand, I will not do this one because it's like "You will hold your Bitcoins until you die." which is not one of my plans. I still want to give my Bitcoins to some other people if my time comes, but anyway, I hope that people took "Holding on for dear life" phrase as "Holding long term".

This is where most of the profits are.
At the same time, this is where most investors are losing money.

The most riskiest way of the three. Trading Bitcoin is considered an investment because in order for an investor to trade, you must invest Bitcoin. Still, those expert traders are the ones who are gaining the most profit thru trading, and where they are getting those profits? From the investors who are losing on their trades.

There are many names, and the meaning is the same, so everything you are trying to say above is not strategy, but rather buying and keeping Bitcoin, whether it is for a short term (trading) or a long term (HODL or Stacking Sats)

The trading strategy is to determine what you will do to increase the bitcoins that you have, and not to determine the term at which you will sell them, although it is the virtual form of the trading strategy.

What makes it a successful strategy varies according to the user, money, experience and many details that differ from one member to another.

For investors, DCA is the main tool that has been proven and tested in several years of digital or cryptocurrency in this industry. The Bitcoin halving happened several times and everyone who made DCA in Bitcoin enjoyed saving and got a good return on it.

That's why this time, the average number of communities that are now doing Bitcoin savings or other altcoins has increased. Although there is a risk, most people still believe that the expected events will come true in the future that the value of bitcoin will really increase and other top altcoins will take care of kicking the value of bitcoin during the bitcoin halving or bull run.

That's a painful reality that you've said and only a few survive that actually HODLs for their dear lives or managed to hold until the end.
The time will come when each of us has to sell our bitcoins for our needs whether it is a basic or an important matter. That's how it goes and we can say that no matter what we're thinking of holding for a long, the time is inevitable that we have to do it whether we like it or not.
Still, if you're enjoying the ride and you're happy of holding it, there's no need to be wary of your strategy that have been effective not just for a few people but probably millions of holders.

Inflation is getting higher than last year which makes no more money to buy Bitcoin or another crypto because I must meet all basic needs in my life. But, it's not reducing me to invest, I find another way to do investment, which is to earn sat from a job signature campaign. Maybe it not much, but I try step to keep it in my cold wallet. I never touch it until now, I have plan to hold it until 2035 to pay for college my Son and Daughter.

People start with Bitcoin by thinking it can rise more and more, rise forever and make new all time high back-by-back. The reality is it won't happen and they will return to reality that they can not HODL hold on dear life with all capital spent in Bitcoin. They need cash to spend in real life and they can not HODL.

When reality becomes worse and painful, they must sale off their bitcoins and regret that they did believed in influencers who always say HODL!

Don't HODL if you don't have saving in cash to use and all your money is in bitcoin.

The term has become popular and didn't know that this has a meaning and I guess just some other members made meaning out of it. Because it basically has no meaning at all and is just a misspelling for holding because gamekyuubi was drunk when he posted the thread.
Anyway, this is my preferred strategy. Not gonna need much things to do but just you wait for the moment when you're okay to start selling or wait some more and go through again a lot of thick and thin and bear markets as well.

DCA is a good strategy when you are a long term investor and this strategy works best in bear market especially about one year since a start of bear market when bottom is mostly in and price is about -70% or -80% from all time high.

DCA in a bull run is more risky because you can DCA at mini top or around all time high but the biggest reason why you DCA is you believe that price will be much higher than a price you buy it after a few years. In addition, with DCA you will not have to feel uncertain what is bottom, when to buy, don't have to time in the market. It will help you to feel more easily to make decision without impact from market up or down and your emotion.

I disagree with hold on dear life because you must to sell your bitcoin at some time, to get your initial capital and to prevent that you will lose all including initial capital if anything which is super bad like a black swan event on bitcoin. Sell your bitcoin when its price is very high from your entry price that is enough for you to get your initial capital by just selling 10% or 30% of your bitcoin amount.

After you sell part of it and get your initial capital, you can say I am not a hodler and will hold on dear life my bitcoin. Nothing to lose after getting initial capital back.

Recent cryptocurrency investors, especially new ones, might find that different strategies of investing do exist, and the best of whatever strategy employed determines the profit or loss one might incur. I came up on the term  'stacking Sats' and 'HODLing' which are investment strategies for those who don't fancy short term trading as a gain system. These strategies offer a way to further diversify an investment portfolio over a duration longer than what trading could offer.

1. Stacking Sats':
This is in short a nick name which in English term would refer to "accumulating Bitcoin". While 'sats' would mean Satoshi, as the smallest unit of Bitcoin, stacking would simply imply heaping or storing up.

With both words combined to give the synonym for dollar cost averaging Bitcoin, it suffices to say that this is purchasing small amounts of BTC on a regular basis over a duration one chooses.


2. HODL :
Hold on for dear life!
As of 2013, the term HODL first came on to the scene in a Bitcoin talk forum when a frustrated trader under the username GameKyuubi was letting his bottle of whiskey do the talking and posted the now infamous thread “I AM HODLING”.

The point of GameKyuubi’s post was to let the cryptocurrency world know that, despite the serious fall Bitcoin had just taken, they planned to still hold on to their BTC. What GameKyuubi didn’t know was this simple typo would soon become an iconic term used by crypto communities around the world. HODL started gaining traction in mainstream media and late-night television, in addition to being held responsible for the creation of countless memes.

3. Trading Bitcoin:
I included this as one investment strategy because one would have to have invested some funds in Bitcoin, before it could be used in whatever format one deems fit for the best profit taking at the time. One way besides the others aforementioned for short term gain is to be a merchant trader. However, gains or losses from trading may be affected by the market volatility.

*Are there other investment strategies you know or have explored to the best benefit?
*Which among the aforementioned strategies would fit your investment plan and why?

Let's discuss!
