Everyone makes a lot of mistakes along the way, and it tends to take a long time to build an investment portfolio, whether we are talking about investing into bitcoin or anything else.
you have to figure out ways to invest within your budget so that if you believe in the thing that you are investing into (such as bitcoin) then you can invest more aggressively into it, yet in the beginning, you might not really believe in it, and the main thing that you see is that historically it had gone up in price, yet you still have to figure out a balance in your budget because you might not have a lot of spare money, which perhaps is part of the reason why you are getting nervous about your investment.
Also, no one wants to lose money, yet you should still approach the investment by ONLY investing your extra money that you would be willing to lose if either the investment went against you or you screwed some things up... so the fact that you have money that you might end up losing, you try to take measures to protect your investment and to keep learning about your investment so that you stay comfortable with it, especially for the first whole cycle (your first 4 years buying it).
Surely if you are able to buy more in the beginning then you might have more options, yet many folks ONLY have extra money from their income or perhaps extra money that they might get from time to time.... which is part of the reason that it can still take a long time to really build your bitcoin stash size up into a meaningful amount.
Imagine that even if you are able to put 10% of your income into bitcoin, it is still going to take you 10 years before you have put a whole year's worth of income into bitcoin. Sure, there could be ways that you might be able to be more aggressive and to be able to invest more than 10% of your income into bitcoin, yet then you still would be running up against the issue of possibly pushing yourself too much.. so you have to figure out some balance, and that balance comes from practice, doing it and reflecting upon what you are doing in terms fo figuring out if there might be some things that you might change, including considering
your 9 factors and perhaps building systems around your 9 factors.
Making mistakes are quite common with human nature, and just as building and stacking bitcoin wouldn’t be an rollercoaster, which means it will definitely takes a lot of time and dedication to buy and building a successful bitcoin portfolio, I still say that if we have to achieve something big in life however achieving something extraordinary we would need time and dedication just as much as we need a strategy that would enable us to be able to buy and accumulate and sustain our bitcoin portfolio for a very long period, just as we have to figure out how to invest with what we have available in our leftover funds.
I would really emphasize more on having a good strategy that would create a balance into our discretionary income available, we might not really have all the money in the world, but just depends how zealous that we are to buy and accumulate bitcoin, we would try to figure out our expenses which are more basic and then we have to figure out how much that is left after our expenses then we would learn how much we can be able to buy on weekly basis and on a monthly basis still depending when we have availability of our discretionary income, which is why whenever the market prices goes up we would still want to figure out some differences and make adjustments and create a balance for ourselves.
However like you have said we can always make mistakes which are very common in life, and in nutshell we wouldn’t really be happy to find some difficulties which will tends towards us loosing money, which is why we can try more enough to be able to sustain our bitcoin investment but having this strategy to protects us in a long run because we would not like a situation where we would loose money, which is why it’s advisable to approach the market with money that are left over which is also known as a discretionary income, then we can decide to invest it into something meaningful like bitcoin that we enable us have an opportunity of profit tomorrow instead of something that wouldn’t otherwise add anything good into ourselves.
I believe not everyone who is interested in buying and investing in bitcoin would be able to approach through the lump sum, and not everyone that might be able to accumulate and stack enough bitcoin into their portfolio as soon as they start investing because of little discretionary income, which is why they might need a lot of time trying to build a portfolio, and there are also some individuals who will want to buy more aggressively through lump sum and through DCA by going full throttle, I know of some guys who have some enough discretionary income, that prefers buying lump sum because they intends to front load their bitcoin, and it’s good for them, because they are able to do it because they have a large amount of discretionary income.
I think whatever that we wouldn’t understand is that we would definitely require a lot of time to keep buying and investing into bitcoin, sometimes some guys and folks would think that one circle is enough for them, but they will realize that one circle isn’t enough for them and they will really like to continue with 2 circle before they can have a chance of having enough profit, depending how much we are able to invest into bitcoin in this duration of time that would determine how much we have been able to accumulate and stack into our Bitcoin portfolio.
