I like the contribution that you people are making here especially the contribution of Sir JJG in regard to young people. However, young people especially those they don't have good career are face with so many challenges that requires smartness, determination and resources to train themselves and acquire skills and knowledge that will enable them to be able to get some income. But one of the problem some young people are having is that they undermine the power of little begining, they want to make it big before thinking investment without knowing that they can start making discret investment in Bitcoin by DCA with the little resources they have and by so doing with good planning, patience and consistency they will possibly have good starch of Bitcoin in the future that will give them good income.
I don't know how much you read the post you quoted before posting this. It's true that JJG spends a lot of time on this topic and posts a lot of helpful stuff, but everyone needs to have the desire, interest and patience to understand what he's trying to convey.

Crypto can change the lives of many. I can tell you from my own example that I have been with Bitcoin and the entire crypto world for almost 7 years. Although I came to this forum later, I have gained a lot from crypto, money, knowledge, and respect. Because with the money I have earned from crypto, my daily expenses run very well and I can use expensive things, due to which people in society respect me. And all this has been possible through buying and selling crypto at the right time. You always have to make your own efforts to research the market. Some people can give you some advice for a while, but you have to fight your life's battle yourself. And to get something good, you have to create different strategies. We all know that if you buy a coin at Dip and sell it at a higher price, you can profit from it. But how many people know which price is best Dip price

We are not talking about crypto (shitcoins) in this thread, and we are also not talking about trading in this thread.  Some guys get mislead by the title of the thread to think that we are talking about trading, when really we are talking about investing.. which is different from trading (gambling).   

Bitcoin is an investment and not a trade, and it is not a shitcoin, either so we need not talk about shitcoins when we are talking about bitcoin.  Anyone in  their earliest years of accumulating bitcoin should be focusing on just buying bitcoin through DCA, lump sum and buying on dips... those are the three ways to accumulate bitcoin.  Trading (or selling) is not a good way to accumulate bitcoin, since if you sell you have less bitcoin and then you take the risk of having even less bitcoin if the BTC price does not end up going down.  So buying BTC on an ongoing, persistent, consistent, regular and perhaps even regular basis is the best way to assure that you are continuing to grow your bitcoin stash while you are still in your accumulation journey.  Once you get to a status of overaccumuation then at that point you might consider selling, but that could take 4-10 years or longer depending on how much a person is able to invest in bitcoin and/or if a person is able to front load his bitcoin investment.

I agree, using DCA and holding Bitcoin for long time is the best way but everyone need to know the difference between shitcoins and Bitcoin. Most shitcoins go to zero.
But, I think it's okay to sell sometimes. Taking partial profits can help if you need money for living expenses.

there are only two viable strategies for those accumulating bitcoin in my opinion.
- you either consider yourself a trader which means you have to be buying the dips and each time you see a good opportunity like the correction after we hit $5500.
- or you are just dumping your fiat every time you have some extra laying around and turning it into valuable bitcoin. in which case it really doesn't matter when you buy specially since that strategy is a long term one and whether you buy at $5000 or $5500 doesn't make much difference when price goes up in long run as it doesn't matter if you bought at $220 or $240 back in 2015 now that price is 25 times more!!!


Some of you ideas are good but DCA is smart plan. I think It's hard to time the market. It's more complex.
My personal opinion is learn first. Without learning, anyone may lose money so learn first then think about trade.
And If you want to hold bitcoin, I believe use DCA is a smart choice but spend all the money at once is risky.
Market don't move in the straight line so Watch the market will be wise. No one can't guess future prices by looking at past ones.

I think wall Observer is self-moderated although it's a good place for information but sometimes moderation can be unfair. I heard that if any posts go against certain views may get deleted.
At the first time i got confused about it's technical analysis and market details and there are so many posts, making it hard to find the important ones.

bitcoin has no central point of failure it has a global network of developers and user. This help it recover from setbacks. bitcoin has many nodes around the world. A attack would need a lot of resources to stop it completely.
Quantum computing could affect Bitcoin’s security. But the bitcoin community is working on solutions. bitcoin can adapt, which makes it strong. bitcoin is tough. Governments or groups may try to disrupt it, but its core values decentralization security, and open source help it survive and restart in new forms. No system is perfect. bitcoin needs to keep the trust of its users and developers. Its future depends on how well it adapts to new threats while staying true to its core values.

About usability...... i have a very very special opinion about that, and a lot of people is gonna kill me for what im gonna say, but for me BTC cant be the coin for the day to day transactions. I have a few arguments since his proper tecnology the way was build and the Gresham law.

Sure Gresham's law suggests that you use your bad money before you use your good money, so if you have other money to spend, then you would spend that first.  I doubt that precludes bitcoin from being used in transactions.  We just spend all of our more shitty money first, and if we have been working our whole life and saving in bitcoin, and maybe we are spending other kinds of money, and so when it comes time that we run out of our other money, then we have to spend our bitcoin.  Same thing if we were being paid in bitcoin, then we might save those but then if we are ONLY being paid in bitcoin, then after a while we have no choice but to spend our bitcoin if we want to eat and have shelter.
   

I think this view of gresham's law and bitcoin is interesting. gresham's law says people spend bad money like weaker currencies and keep good money, like precious metals. but bitcoin might change that. bitcoin is deflationary and has a fixed supply, making it a good store of value. people might use fiat or other money for daily spending, but bitcoin could be saved for the long term or as a hedge against inflation. It makes sense to use bitcoin for savings and spend lesser money, especially considering the risks of fiat currencies. I also think bitcoin will grow as a way to pay for things. as more people use it they will get more comfortable using bitcoin for everyday purchases. eventually, bitcoin might become the good money, with people spending more fiat money. If there’s no choice, people will have to use bitcoin for essentials. This idea seems both realistic and promising for bitcoin's future in the economy.
