It shouldn't have been an investor in the first  place, because you are talking about a trader. How can you say the two things that can make an "investor panic".do investors panic? That statement alone has has completely ruined the explanation. because investors don't panic. This surely mean you are referring to a trader in replacement of an investor.

I think you should focus on accumulating Bitcoin Rather than speculating Bitcoin price in the next few years to come. No doubt that Bitcoin will be bullish in the up coming years, and even as we are anticipating on Bitcoin price, we should not  be overexcited about the future price of Bitcoin, because we may be disappointed when it turns it didn't work out the way we plan. judging from your speech, it took Bitcoin 7 years to move from $7716k to $123k maybe for that reason in the next seven years but will also increase by such that percentage. My friend Bitcoin is not calculated in such manner. Bitcoin doesn't have a straight forward movement, it is volatile which make it unpredictable. For Bitcoin to achieve $1m it will take longer time compeard yo its early days. It might take 20 30 or 40 years who knows but my main point is that we should not be over speculative about Bitcoin price but take advantage by taken a portion of it gradually gradually, and anything that comes out in the future will be good for us than speculating about Bitcoin future price.

You have made a good point from the first paragraph of your Post, but the second part which bolded, I don't think you must have a steady Income to get discretion fund. Discretion fund can come from an occasional work maybe once in 2 months work or once in 4 months depending on your work discrpion. Because most times we might not have a steady source of income but we somehow get source of income occasionally. That is why we need to invest from discretion.And another thing is that a person who want to accumulate Bitcoin should know his work discription and when the source of income will be available so that he may know the type of investment that will suit his income. I have seen how you chose DCA strategy for a regular source of income, what if is a job that doesn't come often, will you have chosen DCA? DCA is best fit for people who often recieve an income daily, weekly or monthly. But tise who recieve income not often will prefer lump sum.

There is nothing wrong If he wakes up from a long sleep of inactivenes. And there is no point red raging him without hearing from him. Atleast he should make some post and people will have some conversation with him to confirm his true identity. If it's a hacked account I guess his approach wil eventually tell who really he is. From hense he can be tagged, and warning will be given or distributed to the community to stay clear from him simply because it's n imposter/ scammer. But if he is who we think then we can oncover a lot useful information from him.

I think you are getting it wrong here, i.might not be in a good position to explain more better but how could you be saying
Pouring money is not aggressiveInvesting? And because he is able to grow his Bitcoin portfolio in the future that makes it not to be aggressive? I can say that from the little I have known from this thread a person should be able to controlled his or their financial management and risk taulerance, and this means that you can be aggressive without knowing simply because you are trying to build a reasonable Bitcoin portfolio. A lot has been said already by JJG here expecialy if you check his last conversation with stormisover, I wouldn't like to go for there but let me draw close to you his reply to stormisover and I learnt Alot from it. Check below to see his response

I don't think there is any law to state prohibits people from spending their discretion the way they like, in as much as discretion fund is often used for Bitcoin investment as we have been conversant with on this thread does not mean it can't be used for any other things. If a person decide to have some fun with his discretion fund, I think there is no problem and we cant see it as not spending it wisely because each an everyone has the right to spend their money on what pleases them. For instance I may decide to invest %80 of my discretion to Bitcoin and use %20 for fun and that does not make me a fool or making a financial mistake.

Just try to get the fact, going to the club as an investor does not mean you don't have other important things to do with money but just like they say all works without play make jack a dull boy. We should invest and also have time for fun. And yeah we need to be careful as an investor not to be carried away and spend above our budget.

First of all you need to know that discretion fund is the leftovers amount after your expenses, which means that you have marked out the important ones before you have your discretion. So now what are you planning again with you discretion fund? Because according to your explanation we are talking about discretion fund, and this fund don't need fotjer planning aside Bitcoin investment and any smaller task since the bigger taks has been accomplished.like I said earlier there is nothing wrong having fun and don't use because of investment and deprive yourself of having fun. Life without fun is meaningless. Don't forget that the money we are investing is to also have a better life thereafter but doesn't mean we can't enjoy a little at our youthful age while preparing for the later fun.

I have gone through the whole reply and see that my statement was indirectly speaking about trader where as I thought am talking about investor. But from your statement I now realize that investor don't have an investment plans less than 4 years but 4 to 10 years above. No matter the profit made by a person in less than a year period can not be considered as investor even if Bitcoin  bullish  hit 3 to 4x or more. Thanks for the clarification at Jay.

Not only comparing the market cap but the ounce to kg unit matter also. When comparing Bitcoin to gold in unit it should be 1kg to 1 Bitcoin atleast the price range can be considered and equated than measuring in ounce. Because 1 ounce of gold is equal to $3.349.64 as of today while 1kg of gold is equal to $107k.

Sure and it will take Bitcoin a very long time to compete with gold in that regard.

Yes and the both are being invested on at thesame time. Most people expecialy the uneducated one who are not technology inclined will prefer traditional system of investment which is Gold than Bitcoin and this is making the market a competitive one, even though Bitcoin has more advantage over Gold.

I think that if we want to give a try to this, short term investment is even more preferable to trading. Though traders may make decent dollar profit, but can not be compeard to guys that invested in long or short period of time. Expecialy those that was lucky to have bought Bitcoin during it's bearish season and sell in bullrun. Let's say an investor who bought 1 Bitcoin last year when Bitcoin starting price was $44,161.95 or at  and sold this year at current price $123, the person would be making 2x profit of $88k compeard to a trader who might have been trading since the past one year. But even as that we can't still compear that profit margin from the future price. We should prioritize long term investment instead of short term because most guys can easily lose focus to adopt short term without considering that not all short term are profitable. Some short term might Al be bearish but bullish after the first circle.

Yes that is exactly what I am saying, trader buy the dip and sell the rips, and of course such amount in repetition will amount to nothing compeard to a HODLer wether short or long term.

You don't always need to be financially prepared to invest into Bitcoin. All you need is to invest from your discretion fund, if you are waiting to be financially prepared or stable to invest, then you may never invest because if we don't creat opportunity to invest we may turn a no coiner because there are a lot of problem to settle and itay not occur to us that Bitcoin is important. But if we invest as little as we can, we may as well be doing other things while life keep going only to realize that we have acculated a sizable amount in due time.

Secondly Bitcoin price fluctuation does not affect Holders but only traders. You can not be a HODLer and thesame time be having the mindset of a trader except you are a trader.

First of all when you dey talk of investing into cryptocurrency, you need specific say na Bitcoin because not all cryptocurrency wey need to put money. Wettin you talk no bad atol, but wettin dey dere be say some people salary no even do them to survive for Naija, talk more of to invest. Person fit only invest when him salary dey enough to sustain him family and to also invest into Bitcoin. I myself when I been dey work for one company, I don reason to invest in to Bitcoin but the money no even dey enough to sustain me, but when I get better job wey I begin see small money naim I start to invest small small. When we dey talk of investment make we dey also consider our pocket.

I guess what you mean by gold is available but Bitcoin is not available is that gold is a physical asset while Bitcoin is a digital asset.  yes that's actually true and also the demand for Bitcoin is getting higher because it is limited in supply. That is why we should prioritize Bitcoin over Gold because Bitcoin has more advantage than gold.
