Those who wait for a specific price to invest are definitely making a big mistake because Bitcoin's movement or its fluctuations can never be predicted, but if you wait to invest, you may panic later due to Bitcoin's volatility, so you may eventually give up.
So consistency is the best investment decision here, invest as much as you can afford to lose, and no matter how small the amount, the goal here should be long-term, and the investment method should be to deposit Bitcoin through DCA consistently, but it will definitely bring positive results.
You can’t wait for a specific price before you invest in Bitcoin, Bitcoin can not be predicted and with the way Bitcoin is going you can’t wait for a perfect time to invest because it may lead to regret at the end, you can invest in Bitcoin in different ways and you can meet up with your demand or the amount of Bitcoins you want to buy, using a DCA method is the best way to buy when you want to meet up with the quantity of Bitcoin you want to buy, one thing i observe with some newbies when they heard invest as much as you can lose is that some think they can buy Bitcoin with any amount and be expecting big profits, the more you invest the more you earn profits that’s how Bitcoin works.
What of in rough times, I had a family friend who battled illness I had to be there for her and I used my little Bitcoin saved. I am not crying over it because I can still continue to save more the little way I do. I don't think about big profit now but continuity.
Man… honestly, what you did says a lot of what you’re…. A lot of people might not say it, but being there for someone during tough times, especially when they are sick, and sacrificing your own BTC investment just to help, that is real, that is love and humanity…. Some folks blow their own whole Bitcoin bag on reckless stuff, parties, hype NFTs, or just chasing quick pumps with no meaning, but you did it for someone who genuinely needed you. That matters. A lot…
And yu kw it is beautiful that even after all that, you are still in this with a positive mindset, talking about continuity over profit. That mindset alone will take you far. But now, as you start building back up, don’t try to be too aggressive trying building you stack back with purpose, using what you’ve learned to protect your future bag even better.
One thing I will just add, and this is not criticism at all, just an advice, it is the importance of having an emergency fund. If there was a small backup funds aside from your Bitcoin, maybe you wouldn’t have had to touch it in the first place. Doesn’t mean what you did was wrong it wasn’t, but it is a reminder to set that safety net now. Life throws stuff at us randomly, and having that cushion helps you stay invested no matter what….
