Of course level of profits may well be a factor, and surely most folks are going to prefer to be in profits, yet if someone might invest into something like bitcoin, it could well end up playing out that their holdings are not in profits for 4-10 years or maybe even longer, and so if we have a long term investment, we are calculating that it is more likely that we will be in profits rather than not being in profits, yet we are likely investing based on a kind of believe that our investment is inclined towards going up.. yet we could get drug through extended periods of negativity, and unless our investment thesis is broken we still may well not be selling, even if the total of our holdings is in the negative, and we may well continue to buy for long periods of time that our investment is in the negative, especially if we conclude that our reason for investing had not been broken... which sometimes can also be difficult to know since negative price performance can frequently shake people out of their commitment or their losing their conviction about the investment.. which also takes us back towards some needs to build conviction about our investment, even if we might not know a lot about the investment at the time we get started investing and we hopefully learn information and build our conviction with the passage of time, and if we are not sure about an investment, we may well need to make sure that we temper the amount of our investment into it until we are gaining more conviction about the investment then we likely can continue to increase the amount that we are investing into it.

People can become confused about their own level of conviction and why they invested into something, yet the view of the asset is ONLY one of the nine factors, and other factors to consider when investing into bitcoin would also need to be part of the formula for figuring how much to put into bitcoin based on various personal financial (cashflow) and psychological considerations.

You’re right, trusting your investment decisions and believing in bitcoin’s potential is crucial for successful investment so no matter what happens along the way selling should not be an option until your investment goal is achieved.
It’s just as you said, a person should channel in an amount that matches their conviction about the investment and the more they gain more conviction they can increase the amount they are investing. A person investing too much in something they have little believe in will make them doubt the success of it even though they are looking to be in profit. So we need to clarify our conviction while considering other factors before investing to ensure a confident decision.

I am not suggesting that conviction in bitcoin needs to be established prior to investing into bitcoin, yet throughout an investment, a person can establish a position size that is commensurate with his level of convictions and he can continue to invest into bitcoin in order to ongoingly reinforce his conviction, and yeah, if the investment is not ongiong, persistent and consistent, then perhaps some folks might waffle in their level of conviction at various points in time, which surely is on them the extent to which they might need to study more into bitcoin, and surely if bitcoin continues to go up in value (price) yet they end up realizing that they were overly whimpy in their investment practices or that they sat around waiting and pondering over the matter more than ongoingly buying, then they ONLY have themselves to blame for whatever consequences might end up coming from their choices of inaction and/or uncertainty... ..

....and yeah, at the same time, there is nothing wrong with a guy moderating down his position size based on a certain level of skepticism that he has in regards to bitcoin. The guys who consistently invested in bitcoin, even in a whimpy way, for the last 10-ish years, did way better then those who sat around and ended up not doing anything in the direction of investing into bitcoin.

Hopefully many of us are wanting to invest into bitcoin in order to have more options down the road in terms of 4-10 years or more, yet surely there are folks who will consider bitcoin as a trade on shorter timelines, and none of us can really persuade others in terms of the goals that they might want to have in regards to both why they got into bitcoin and the extent to which they might be striving to invest into bitcoin rather than merely trading it.

Yes, and for my personal experience, I never heard of DCA before, specially in the beginning of my "career" here back in 2017, all I heard by invest on it in the long term, and then the obvious be a trader so that you can earn from this market. But later on, I learn how to invest, I read others suggesting to do DCA to help me out, and then as I go along, there is a learning curve for me, choosing my options (e.g. weekly or monthly fixed amount), and then you will hear some saying to time the market. But with DCA you don't need that, but instead just be consistent and then buying more when the price goes down.

I have similar experience with you, the only difference is that you started way earlier than me and while you did more of trading at your earlier years, I did a little of that but I wasted my money investing in shitcoins, actions I still regret till date. My only consolation is the fact that I learnt the DCA method from this forum and started applying it, since then I have experiencing exponential growth in my Bitcoin portfolio. Indeed, the DCA method is organized and systematic and have this way of making the investor think more of buying than selling. The moment you consciously start applying the DCA method, you will be filled with only the thought of buying more and selling will never be appealing to you. I will not be surprised that the increased number of people owning Bitcoin now is somehow related to the popularity of the DCA method, although you should not take my word for it because it is just my reasonable assumption.

Before I came to this forum, I could not make any plans with my assets. But when I learned about Bitcoin, firstly I was afraid to buy Bitcoin. Because what if I spend so much money and cannot make profit? Or if I lose my assets, etc., negative things would have stopped me from accumulating Bitcoin. But when I was watching the price of Bitcoin, it gradually started to go from high to higher. But sadly, if I had started accumulating Bitcoin at that time, my portfolio today could have been much healthier. But I have now converted the regret it into strength. Even though my holding is small, it is helping me to dream big dreams. DCA is the only way I can grow my Bitcoin holdings. The world's biggest holders are also doing DCA today. Such as Micro Strategy and El Salvador.

Exactly!!!!! You can moderate the level of your DCA to your conviction level, and you can realize that you could have had invested more in the past, but you chose not to invest more in the past, so you are stuck with the consequences of your earlier actions, and sure you cannot turn back the clock, and you can ONLY figure out the level of your investment from here on out, and there are always going to be trade offs when any of us had decided to invest in bitcoin and to lock away some of our money that we could have had spent on fun, consumption or even investing in other things, but instead we chose to invest into bitcoin... Trade offs for sure, and we have to live with whatever consequences come from our past allocation choices. I really doubt that any of us are going to get our allocation completely perfect.

We just need to do the best that we can with what we have, and even if we want to be aggressive, there are likely practical limitations in regards to how aggressive that we are able to be and to still satisfy various current needs and expenses and surely some of the current expenses are optional, but it may well be better to buy decent quality food today rather than to eat cheap garbage food that might negatively affect our health and/or energy, so there might be areas that we can sacrifice and buy bitcoin and other areas that are not worth sacrificing.

You are getting everything wrong here. Bitcoin does not guarantee that you good life in the future and it also doesn't meant if you dont invest in Bitcoin your life will be useless. I dont know where you are getting this reasoning from but whatever way it is very wrong. Most people invest in Bitcoin and still do it the wrong way while some invest and are successful. It all depends on the investor, of course Bitcoin has outperform most asset over the years in terms of longetivity benefits. And there is a high tendency that holding Bitcoin for decades will give more profit depending on what we have invested so far. Dont invest $10 and expect a million dollars.

You have just said my mind here, I think I have heard about this before that the extent of how successful you are going to be in the future determine the stash of Bitcoin in your possession, and this your last statement said it all, you can't just invest very little and be expecting a million dollar in the future, so in other to change your financial status forever, you need to understand that your stash of Bitcoin need to be huge, not $10 or $100 worth of Bitcoin.
The as for Bitcoin guaranteeing good life? No, nothing is guaranteed in this life, something can happen very fast that can change the cause of so many things, we that are investing in it are doing so because we believe in it due to it track record and the it potential it has.

The guy who invested $100 per week over the past 8 years (two cycles) ended up investing right around $42k and was able to accumulate right in the ballpark of 5 BTC, so surely there have been examples in bitcoin in which persistence of investing has paid off quite handsomely. Probably the investment size might need to be larger these days, yet guys can ONLY invest as aggressively as they are able to and within their own means. It is not always going to be clear in regards to whether the ongoing investing is going to end up paying off.

Personally, I believe that the guy who had been investing $100 per week for the past 8 years is in pretty good shape with his having had accumulated 5 BTC, and sure maybe he is not quite to fuck you status (since his -=https://bitcoindata.science/withdrawal-strategy?U2FsdGVkX18xT52iwBILyM01+h5gSmLK7tYiiauvtknzsNT7wcCNNWLXBw5QH5/Vcurrent 200-WMA valuation is around $216k and the BTC spot price valuation is right around $521k, but he can perhaps continue to build his BTC stash, and perhaps his income also could have had gone up in the last 8 years, and maybe there could have had been times that he could have increased his allocation into bitcoin, which would have changed his scenario, yet it also may well affect his decision regarding how or whether to continue to invest today in terms of considering what his BTC stack size goals might be.

If his goal might be to get to a point in which he could reasonably start to draw $6,666 per month, then if he chose to not invest any more, then he might get to that status in 4-ish years, just based on his having 5 BTC, yet maybe he wants to continue to stack and to build some cushion, and so maybe he might be able to increase his DCA and perhaps even get close to 6 BTC in the next 3-4 years, to the extent that he even needs to rush any of his DCA, it seems likely that valuation of his stack will continue to grow, especially if he is measuring it based on the 200-WMA..

this is what differentiate an intentional investor that is aware of what he is doing from someone that just believes that because he has put in some small amount of money into buying of bitcoin that he is entitled to being profitable in his investment. the extent of the profit you get from investing in bitcoin is dependents on major variables like.
1. the amount you invested: this determine the extent of profit you get from your bitcoin investment at every time there is a bull because if bitcoin moves from $100k to @200k at a certain point in time, there is going to be a huge difference between someone that has a bitcoin stack of $10k and another person that only has just accumulated a bitcoin that is worth only $500. while the first person makes a profit of $10k within same time frame, the second can only make a profit of $500k and the result is a function of how much each of them invested.
2. another is how long one invest: this only plays a small role and mostly, it only helps someone that is probably doing the DCA to have enough time that he can make use of in accumulating enough bitcoin. how long one stay invested doesn't guarantee profitability on its own, it is how well one make use of the time that matters more.
3. the third can be the price even though for someone that is investing with the DCA method, price does not matter more because you just set out a rule and ensure you follow it up to the latter.

in conclusion, a lot of variables are combined together to get the best out of one's investment but of them all, how much bitcoin you have accumulated places you at a position where a positive market reaction can affect you better than your counterpart that might have less amount of bitcoin in his portfolio.

Yep. Surely there can be two similarly situated persons, and some guys might choose to be more aggressive, and others might choose to be more whimpy. I might be deviating a wee bit from the topic, but let me give it a shot.

Let's compare Michael Saylor/MSTR to something that a regular person might have chosen to do.. .. sure a regular person is not going to have as much leverage as MSTR/Saylor, but there are still ways that we can compare situations that regular folks might encounter.

Think about Saylor/MSTR, and remember about a year ago.. perhaps slightly longer than that. Saylor/MSTR had about 200k BTC and they had an average cost per BTC of about $35k... so their total stash costs were about $7 billion... ..and so perhaps they could have had been happy with a average cost of $35k per BTC.

In recent times, they have gotten their BTC stash up to 450k BTC and their average cost per BTC is $62.7k per BTC, which is costs of $28.2 billion. so right around 4x costs, but more than double the BTC stash.

The Saylor/MSTR numbers might seem a bit abstract because they are so large, so let's attempt to apply similar numbers to similarly situated individuals and if we might outline that one individual (Hypothetical 1) had a BTC stash of 20 BTC and an average cost of $35k per BTC ($700k in costs).. yet a BTC value of $865k 200-WMA and spot value of $2.1 million.

Hypothetical 2 had a stash of 45 BTC and an average cost of $62.7k, which therefore costs of $2.82 million, so the value of this stash is nearly $2million for its 200-WMA value and nearly $4.69 million for its spot price.

Surely the fundamentals of hypothetical 1 is in a better place than the fundamentals of hypothetical 2, especially based on the costs being lower and even that the costs per BTC are lower than the 200-WMA, yet I imagine that many of members of the forum would prefer to be in the position of hypothetical 2 rather than hypothetical 1, even if his finances are more stretched than the finances of hypothetical 1. He has more than double the quantity of BTC, and he is still in profits, yet even hypothetical 2 might not feel liberated to really be cashing out any of his BTC if their costs are in the ballpark of 50% higher than the 200-WMA.. yet at the same time spot price is right around 140% higher than the 200-WMA, so spot price is still in the ballpark of 66% higher than costs per BTC.

Part of the personal question for either hypothetical 1 or 2 would be whether they believe that they have enough BTC, yet or not? I personally believe that the costs of each of them is still quite high, but costs per BTC might not be as BIG of a question as their own considerations about whether they have enough BTC or not.

If we believe that the comparison of the two is too abstract as compared with our own situation, then we could cut the size of their BTC stashes down by 1/2 or even by some other quantity if we want to figure out if there might be circumstances in which hypothetical 2 might have enough BTC, yet hypothetical 1 had not quite reached a sufficiently enough size of a BTC stash in accordance with his own standard of living expectations.

I personally consider that it is much more comfortable to have my costs per BTC below the 200-WMA, yet there still could be circumstances in which a person is still able to feel that he is sufficiently at his goals in order to not be deterred in regards to his actions to potentially start to sell BTC even prior to his costs being below the 200-WMA. Also if the person considers that he has enough or more than enough BTC, then he still might consider entering into some kind of a sustainable withdrawal practice, yet the guy with the higher costs per BTC might want to make sure that he is not selling BTC at a loss or maybe he has to establish sell parameters for himself, since his profit cushion is not as great as hypothetical 1, who already has his costs per BTC right around 23% lower than the 200-WMA.

I also consider that if there is still considerations about whether the BTC stack size is large enough, a person could still enter into some kind of an acceptable sustainable withdrawal practice at a more moderated rate (of withdrawal (perhaps 4% per year) so that the BTC stash value would likely continue to grow faster than the withdrawal rate, which I would still be looking at the growth of the 200-WMA in order to start to feel more comfortable when my own costs are lower than the 200-WMA.. yet surely none of us would be currently selling any BTC at the 200-WMA, especially since currently the BTC price is right around 141% higher than the 200-WMA.

Well ,Bitcoin's is not a stablecoin,it goes up and down a lot .the Past success does not mean future riches Big risks, big potential rewards, but also big potential losses , You are right more money means more potential profit or loss. A small investment won't make you a millionaire but Having a lot of Bitcoin could mean more money if the price goes up, but it also means more money lost if it goes down.Bitcoin doesn't guarantee a good life. Investing is risky. Only invest what you can afford to lose that just it

You are all over the place George Edward. It's like you hardly have a clue, and you are saying that bitcoin's price could go up or it could go down or it could go sideways and no one knows.

Well, if no one knows, then what are you going to do about your own reaction and your own position in light of the "no one knows" situation? Don't you ave to figure out whether you are going to take a position and what that position is going to be? If you have no clue, then you are going to end up in a place in which you likely have no clue how you got there, which may well be that you end up as a low coiner or a no coiner, and I doubt that would be a good place to end up, even if you are proclaiming that no one knows what bitcoin is going to do.

It seems that even if you believe that no one knows what bitcoin is going to do, there are some folks who are actually actively forming a view about bitcoin and accordingly taking some kind of a bitcoin position based on their view. .and their view is not likely all over the place.

Only you are responsible to both figure out what your view is going to be and whether your view is going to result in action or merely just throwing up your hands and proclaiming "who knows?" I surely would not want to be in the "who knows?" camp, but maybe that's just me?

I will not be surprised that the increased number of people owning Bitcoin now is somehow related to the popularity of the DCA method, although you should not take my word for it because it is just my reasonable assumption.

Everyone feels good when BTC prices are at all time highs, so part of the reason that I frequently suggest getting through a whole cycle or two, because sometimes even the best of practices may end up having extended periods of being in the negative (on paper), and so some guys might get discouraged by their BTC being in the negative, and sometimes the period of being in the negative could end up lasting a couple of years or longer...of course personal details regarding timing (when he got in) can also make differences, too.

To invest in Bitcoin, you have to be strategic, that is, you have to adopt some strategies. The investor has to be patient and a long-term perspective is very important. And long-term investment can usually be done by waiting for a few cycles. Because the price of Bitcoin basically fluctuates in a big cycle. One cycle basically lasts for four years. Because halving occurs here every four years.

Traders feel very happy when their business makes a profit, this is basically a very natural thing, just like investors in Bitcoin are very happy when the price increases. But when the price decreases, many investors break down and lose their confidence. For this reason, it is very important to learn from the entire cycle. The price of BTC is unstable. It is normal that it can decrease, but it does not mean that it will continue to decrease for several cycles. It will definitely increase after passing one or two cycles. The price of Bitcoin was very low one or two cycles ago in 2024. Therefore, the investor must look back at two or four cycles and strengthen his mind when the price decreases.

I doubt that I am even wanting to get into the level of particulars as you, Scarlett_23 - especially since my main insinuation in my response to Odohu was to suggest that if he had not even been through a whole cycle, then he has ONLY been through bitcoin's up period.. .especially since we have largely just seen UP from late 2022 until present.. Sure, we had a bit of a pause in the UP between March 2024 and October 2024. but still there was no major correction during that period.. .. and sure we did not know if the BTC price was going to end up breaking up or down, but still the fact that it ended up breaking up just ends up resulting in our current period being erroring on the side of UP.. so it can be difficult to appreciate the feedback of a person having ONLY positive ideas about their investment experiences to date if the BTC price had mostly been going up the whole time.

Other aspects about how to deal with our BTC stash after getting through a whole cycle or even figuring out what our options might be may well also depend on how the person dealt with his first whole cycle, and surely a person who had been accumulating the whole time might be in a different position from someone who did not, yet even if we might consider that Odohu might be getting through his first whole cycle towards the beginning of 2027, we might need to see where he is at at that time (or at least I might be interested to hear from him about his assessment of his status at that point and perhaps how he might have had dealt with both the UPs and the DOWNs that might still be coming between now and then), and sure maybe some guys will be in a fairly solid place to reassess his situation and to change his previous approach, and other guys might consider that they have at least a whole half of a cycle before they might start to feel that they are getting into a financial and/or psychological position where it might be justified for them to change their approach.

I think we still get it wrong trying to compare investment and trading. These are two different things in the crypto system and everything starts from your intention and strategy. When you're holding a coin for a long period of time while anticipating its value to increase over time, it is simply regarded as investment being it a lump sum or through the DCA approach, an investment can last up two several months and years. When you're investing, your target is reliant on the market fundamentals which includes the coin's long-term potential growth and the market trend. But a trader takes even more risk and often relies on chart patterns, short-term price movements and swings as well as your ability to capitalize on daily market fluctuations. Here we discuss about investments and not trades because investments are generally more reliable and less exposure to daily volatility in the market. The risks and uncertainty involved in investment is nothing compared to large uncertainty in trading hence it's advantage over trading.

Personally, I have a difficult time considering how a person might come into bitcoin with an intended investment timeline of less than 4 years and to be considered as a investor rather than a trader, even if he might be coming to bitcoin with perceptions of fundamentals.. Sure there could be some reasons that a person is not able to commit to at least 4 years due to health conditions and/or age, so it might be advisable for such person to not get into bitcoin, except to the extent that they might consider themselves to be potentially trading rather than investing. Sure, I concede that I might be being a bit too strict on what is an investor, yet it seems to me that your level of liberally calling short term folks investors ends up causing an error of labelling traders as investors...even if those traders have all of the lovey dovey good intentions of an investor, from my way of thinking about bitcoin fundamentals, they are still a trader if they are coming in with a less than 4-year timeline.

By the way, I will also grant you that there could be some investors that come to bitcoin with a 4-10 year or longer timeline, but shit happens in life and they might have health circumstances that end up causing them to have to cut their investment short, so they end up selling out early, even if they had intended to be an investor, their cashing out may have caused them to end up being a trader by circumstances beyond their original intentions...nothing wrong with that.. since sometimes bad shit happens to good people.

A small investment won't make you a millionaire but Having a lot of Bitcoin could mean more money if the price goes up, but it also means more money lost if it goes down.

For this you need to increase your investment. So you have to be patient, be strategic, buy bitcoins regularly. And opting for the dollar cost averaging method can be very effective for you to grow your investment. With this method you buy bitcoins for a fixed amount of money on a weekly or monthly basis and deposit it into an investment portfolio on a weekly or monthly basis. If you keep buying bitcoins regularly for 4-10 years with this method, your investment will be much bigger or your investment will grow.

Investing is risky. Only invest what you can afford to lose that just it

Of course there are risks involved in investing, but the risk in Bitcoin investment is low which is why many people have achieved success by investing in this Bitcoin. If you look closely at how much the price of Bitcoin has risen from 2009 to 2025, you might never think that investing in Bitcoin is too risky. The price of Bitcoin has increased steadily and will continue to increase in future.

How many times do we discuss the impact of patience in Bitcoin investments and how that is translated into profits in the long run. While research on a coin's growth over time is paramount, understanding the potential growth of the coin vis-a-vis a structured plan on the amount to invest and your ability to hold your coins for a long period of time is non-ignorable. Most successful investors of Bitcoin are people who spent a significant time of their lives investing in Bitcoin especially those who practiced the DCA approach effectively. The advantage this approach has over the lump sum is that it assists you in managing your investment funds, monitoring them and effectively mitigating the risks involved in the coin.

Frequently lump sums are not really available as an option either..., yet even a person who had been investing into bitcoin for 4-10 years of longer, might end up having some circumstances during their investment period in which lump sum amounts come available to them.. so some kind of a bonus, or inheritance or some unforeseen fortuitous circumstances, and for example if a person had been investing around 50% of his discretionary income into bitcoin for more than 4 years, which resulted in right around $22k invested into bitcoin, and then all of a sudden, they received a gift (or ended up selling a property or a business or some joint ownership situation resulted in extra cash for them), and if the amount ended up being $20k, then they have a choice to double their investment into BTC on the spot or they choose to invest that money into bitcoin, yet they still could choose from two other options to DCA and/or to buy on the dip...

The person does not have to choose any one and they could actually choose a combination of 1 or 2 of them or all three of them, and the receipt of the lump sum need not affect the ongoing regular DCA of $100 per week, yet receiving the lump sum gives options that were not previously available so they could consider altering their current DCA during the period that they are dealing with the lump sum, so the $100 per week would be an amount that is $2,600 per half year or $5,200 per year, so is also presumed to be potentially part of any formula consideration in regards to how a person might choose to deal with an extra lump sum that came in that was more or less the equivalency of their previous 4-years of DCA investing into BTC. Surely it is great when any of us get these kinds of lump sum options, since it frequently can allow us to review several aspects of what we are doing and to consider from a perspective of having increased options in regards to how to deal with having a bunch of extra cash suddenly available to us.
