Before I came to know about this thread I used to focus on trading Bitcoin rather than holding but it brought me loss rather than profit. I was very upset. Because I was short of money at that time. But I was able to completely distance myself from Bitcoin trading when I realized that holding Bitcoins is needed. Moreover, I have also realized the suggestion of using DCA strategy for those who cannot afford to deposit bitcoins or whose financial situation is not so good. DCA is not only for an ordinary investor but anyone can hold bitcoins following this method. I also got a better idea about DCA through this thread. Many may only look for dips but what I realize is that as my accumulation increases I will be ahead of my expectations.
I believe this thread is 600 pages long and will be more. This thread is very helpful for getting success from Bitcoin. Those who will positively consider the suggestions in this thread I think will definitely be able to become profitable with Bitcoin.
Buddy am very happy that you retraced your step due to the information you got on this particular thread, some person don't read in between lines here, they concentrate mainly on what the topic is saying which may be deceitful without knowing the detailed discussion in the thread, though your previous loss may be as a result of lack of information, understanding or inability to understand that Bitcoin is a long-term investment that has to do with gradual process not a kind of quick money making venture though I wouldnt really blame you much it may be because of your mindset before you started, Bitcoin is not gambling stuff, it's also good that you have tasted that trading part and i believe as it stands now you can differentiate which is better between bitcoin investment in a long-term and trading which is seen as a short-term investment.
The best decision you have taken is distancing your self as you said from unrealistic goal that's capable of running your investment plans, you advised yourself wisely by taking the path that will secure your future as a bitcoiner, I somuch believe that you have started doing the needful by now and hope to see you at the top in the future.
Yes the thread is extremely needful and helpful at the same time and our mentor @JayjuanGee has been doing the best he could to always straighten out heads when we want to make mistakes in Bitcoin investment, as for the thread, It will definitely continue because many people are topping into Bitcoin investment and I believe such perons will be needing the advise of all that have undertood the concept of Bitcoin investment to enable them do the right thing.
