I doubt that we can really say what others should do, since sometimes there can additional costs to sell out of one investment and then to put that into bitcoin, yet someone who has a fairly decent already existing portfolio may well be in a better place to invest more aggressively into bitcoin, since they already have their whole traditional investments, whether they had been investing 10-20 years or some other amount, some person who already has other investments is in a way better place to come out somewhat aggressively in terms of their bitcoin allocation strategy - even though they still might not want to incur the costs of lump summing into bitcoin (if they have to sell some of their other assets), so it still might take them a whole year or two just to get their BTC allocation from zero and up to 10-15% of their total investment portfolio.

When I got into bitcoin in late 2013, I already had an investment portfolio that I had considered to be sufficiently strong enough to be able to support me if my other various investments and income had dried up. .so I considered it to be more or less at entry-level fuck you status, even though I was not really living off of it.... so at the same time, when I started buying bitcoin in late 2013 and through 2014, I thought that I was being somewhat aggressive in my BTC accumulation, yet in the beginning 6 months and then extension of another 6 months of my plan, I allocated to bitcoin based on a budget that I had given myself for the 6 months and divided it by 26 (for the amount that I could buy each week), and then extended  another 6 months, so yeah, I was not sure exactly what my target was except for spending the budget that I had allocated for myself for each fo the 6 months periods, yet by the time we were getting close to the end of 2014 (so that would have had been a full year), I had somehow figured out that I had reached around 10% of my overall investment portfolio had been invested into bitcoin, so in that sense, I had concluded that I had largely accumulated enough.. and furthermore, I remember batting around some ideas about whether I might want to transfer some value from my 401k into buying bitcoin (which even though tempting, I ended up deciding against it based on my assessment that I largely had enough investment into BTC, and it took me a year to get there (which was 10%)).. .

Yet part of my problem was that I continued to invest into bitccoin through 2015 and 2016, and I ended up over accumulating (which largely ended up being around 13.5%-ish in late 2015).. which ended up NOT being a bad thing for me personally.. .but still a little bit of a decision to continue to buy bitcoin through 2015 and into 2016 even though in late 2014, I had largely assessed that I had already gotten enough.
Agree with your idea, most likely those who have achieved great success in investing in their old assets will easily understand the concept of how they continue their positive trend into their new investment (Bitcoin). One of the advantages they have is their experience in managing their financial management for investing and for their living needs. From here, of course, their steps to invest will be neatly arranged with the strategy that will be implemented, there may even be more aggressive steps if their level of focus grows along with the investment in bitcoin.

I am amazed by your investment journey, maybe it will be a fairly useful description for us. One of them is to stabilize the level of purchases on a more routine scale compared to our journey in previous investments. For me, maybe I will also consider saving on living expenses in order to be able to buy more bitcoins with the previous stages. Of course, I really need that adjustment to increase ownership when I get better opportunities. Another important concept that I focus on is considering the decision to include a larger budget if one day I get a lot of income from my place of work, maybe it's a severance pay or other bonuses. I want to dedicate this investment to my children when they grow up (that's why I consider if the 10 year stage is reached I will make a decision to continue to the next year or 11 years.

You took advantage of a great opportunity at that time, aren't you a very lucky person. Even I admit of course in 2013 not many people in this world made big investments in bitcoin. You made an investment that changed your life for the better and I really want to do it and this is what I have processed in accumulating bitcoin every week.
