Bitcoin volatility can never be avoided, but panic can be avoided with the right strategy and education. As you say, 'Investing by understanding your financial situation will reduce panic'. Yes, investing by understanding your financial situation reduces panic, but no matter how good the financial situation is, when the market price drops, some anxiety acts and the panic does not go away completely. And this is more the case with new investors. In this case, the DCA strategy is good to avoid panic. It protects against market fluctuations by investing regularly and systematically and helps to focus on long-term planning. As a result, the investor learns to remain calm without panicking.

You are right.I think next month we might see Bitcoin at 130,000 because we saw the new ATH this month. But we may expect that Bitcoin can reach 1 million after the next six or seven years because seven years ago or on this day in 2018 Bitcoin was worth 7716 dollars but after seven years the price has reached 123,000. In words 7700 and where is 123,000. Did we ever think that Bitcoin would be worth this much? So let's think about what Bitcoin's price could be after the next seven years. This shows that Bitcoin has huge potential but need to be patient.

You need to get rid of the idea that you can get rich quickly by investing in Bitcoin. This is not a quick scheme for earning money. Investing in Bitcoin cannot guarantee you profit, but if you invest patiently, there is a great possibility of getting good returns. Bitcoin is the most volatile currency, and it is very natural for there to be a price correction at any time. If the price is slightly down at any time, do not panic, but if you can hold Bitcoin regularly, then it is definitely possible to get good returns. Moreover, it is more convenient for those who do DCA when it is down. In terms of investment, if you keep accumulating a part of your discretionary income in Bitcoin regularly, it will help you risk-free and stress-free investment and you will be able to keep a large part of Bitcoin in your possession in the long term.

 Same way most people who recently began investing are wishing they started 10 years ago is the same way people who are still procrastinating now would wish they started earlier too in 10 years upwards, if you take a look at the figures you'll see that it's still earliy compared to what we all hope it would be like in the next time years, if they picture bitcoin at $1m or above in 10 years from now then the investor who started recently would stop wishing they invested in the past but take their current investment seriously.

 You'll hear people say it's not too late and they're right afterall cause if one could start now an hold till 10 years time when bitcoin probably gets past $1m then they won't even feel they missed the opportunity earlier investors of about 2011 to 2020 had cause they too would've made lots of profits in 10 years from now whether they're very aggressive with their investment or not.

You seem a little too sure about the future. What you said may be right, or it may be wrong. Investing more than you can afford is a wrong move and as a result you may face financial problems in the middle and be forced to sell the investment. However, it is not certain that such a move will force you to sell the investment. I am not proving you wrong, but I am requesting a possible statement about the future. Because as you say, it may not be like that in reality.

Investing more than your ability can never be a good move. You may be moving towards the goal faster, but there may be a doubt whether the goal will be achieved or not. Because Bitcoin investment is long-term. You have to remember that you will not be able to use what you are investing for 4-10 years. Using it means that you are breaking the investment and all your previous troubles with the investment are in vain. So invest within your ability and take the right steps for financial crisis. Financial management is important for investment.

A lot of people were saying the same thing when the price was in the $10-20k range, and look where the price is now. There's no telling how long this bear market (we're still in one) is going to last; just as a reminder, the previous one lasted for two and a half years.

Suppose you are a new investor and you have started a new investment, your investment strategy is the DCA investment strategy. After a few days of consistently investing in this investment strategy, you see that the market has gone down a bit. At that time, you should not get excited but rather take advantage of the opportunity that the market has gone down relatively low. Maybe you can tell me now how it is an opportunity for me when the market goes down, it is definitely an opportunity for you because when the market goes down, you buy Bitcoin with more money and when the market goes up, you will have a good profit. Those who think about their investments in this way actually do not give much priority to temporary negative things in the market, but most investors do not think this way.

Micro Strategy has purchased 607,770 Bitcoins since August 11, 2020.
On August 11, 2020, 21,454 Bitcoins were purchased and they have purchased another 83,630 Bitcoins throughout the year.

11 Aug 2020 Number of Bitcoins in Holding = 21454
11 Aug 2021 Number of Bitcoins in Holding = 105 084
11 Aug 2022 Number of Bitcoins in Holding = 129 699
11 Aug 2023 Number of Bitcoins in Holding = 152 800
11 Aug 2024 Number of Bitcoins in Holding = 226 500
22 July 2025 That is, today Micro Strategy Bitcoin Holding 607 770
That is, in the first year of investment they purchased Bitcoin = 83 630
Purchased in the second year = 24 615
Purchased in the third year = 23 101
Purchased in the fourth year = 73 700 Bitcoins purchased in a year i.e. 11 months = 381 270 Bitcoins.

From this it can be seen that in the last one year they have purchased (381 270×100)÷607 770= 62.732% of their total Bitcoin holdings.

Let's see how they reach this percentage in the next year.

There is no better and more effective Bitcoin investment strategy than DCA, invest a fixed amount regularly without looking at market fluctuations, and keep building a Bitcoin portfolio at an average price consistently, people who are just waiting to buy Bitcoin at DIP prices can never invest effectively, and their investments do not give very effective results, which could have been obtained from DCA investments. The market never works according to our expectations, so if the price we are waiting for never comes, then your wait is completely worthless, rather you are further behind for it. So create the right mindset about Bitcoin, and invest in Bitcoin using the right effective strategy, only then can a good result come.

It is probably good for you to have had learned the lesson relatively early, even though you took some losses with your shitcoin involvement.

Historically, there have been a lot of folks that get distracted into shitcoins, and surely some of them learn their lesson and they begin to focus more on (or maybe completely on) bitcoin.  Shitcoins will continue to be distracting, which justifies part of my suggestion to make sure to limit shitcoin involvement to no more than 10% of your bitcoin holdings, and try not to cheat in regards to your ways of structuring such shitcoin involvement in the event that you cannot resist shitcoins.  I am not even recommending involvement in shitcoins at all, yet I am suggesting if guys cannot resist getting involved in shitcoins, then to limit their involvement to no more than 10% of the size of their bitcoin involvement, which will at least limit the damage and allow them to mostly stay focused on the prize  (namely bitcoin), and sure, if they happen to find some shitcoins that outperform bitcoin in the short or long term, then I don't have any problem accepting those sorts of happenings if they were miraculously able to identify such outperforming shitcoins. 

I agree that limiting the investment into shitcoins as compared with bitcoin to something like 10% is acceptable, yet I don't agree with your assertion that suggests that there is any thing helpful in fucking around with shitcoins.. since you are proclaiming that "it won't hurt" to have up to 10% in various shitcoins.

Of course, you can do whatever you want, but the idea of diversification for the sake of it, seems pretty retarded to me. especially if you might have some clues about what bitcoin is and unless you have some kind of specific reasons to hold any of those shitcoins..

You quoted my post badly, again, but I fixed it in this post.

Of course, you can do whatever you like in terms of holding back value in order to buy the dip that may or may end up not happening.  I think that I already explained well enough in regards to my ideas why newbies should focus on ongoing buying rather than strategizing for dips that might not happen.

You seem to be inclined towards trading rather than investing, since if you have a 4-10 year or longer investment timeline, then surely it might not make much difference if you bought at $123k or at $95k, even if $95k were to be possible.. we don't know, and we don't even know if sub $110k is possible, either.  So if you are waiting for dips that might not happen, you are gambling and potentially failing/refusing to prepare for up with your over-preparation for down..

But again, do what you like.,. it is your money and you have to live with the consequences of your actions, even if you think you have some kind of a trade angle (or buying on dip angle) figured out.

It's not just one bill but they are three bills. The Clarity Act, The Genius act and The Anti-CBDC State Act as this week is designated as crypto week by the US house.

Personally, I still consider that it would be better for you to figure out what your dip criteria would be, since if you end up waiting even 6 months, your $20 every week is stacking up and pretty soon you have $520 ($20 X 26) in your dip buying funds, and that money could have had been in bitcoin rather than sitting on the sidelines...and sure, of course, that is your choice to figure out your criteria and the balance that you should be striking.

I have stated many times that guys in their very early stages are likely better off to be buying every single week no matter what, and to be fairly conservative with any money that they are holding back for dip buying.. and even within each week a guy can try to buy the dip within the week but on a certain day if no dip comes he is going to need to just buy with his weekly authorized amount because there is entering into a new week with a new authorized amount coming available for the new week.

Sure, of course, you have to figure out what you believe is the right balance for you, which may or may not end up serving your objectives if you end up making mistakes with it.. but that is on you.

Actually we know that the market never increases continuously, there are ups and downs. I don't know if we will get a big dip but we can take small opportunities. 14-7-25 Bitcoin reached 123+ maximum. Nothing can be said for sure but it may come close to 100 or below. Then we can take the opportunity. 23-6-2025 Bitcoin price was 98, down from 108. On 3 April 2025, it came from 88.5 to 74.5. Actually, although nothing is certain in crypto currency, it can be assumed that there will be a dip at least once in six months, so we don't want to miss that opportunity. Suppose I invest weekly, if the market is at its highest at the time I invest, I will still invest but the dollars in the deep fund will be allocated only for the dip.  Yes, you are right, $520 ($20 X 26) would have been in Bitcoin, but when it dips, you will regret it again. Of course, it is true that investing in Bitcoin will not result in a loss, you just need to hold it for the long term. Still, if you can save $2-4 by buying through the dip, it doesn't seem bad. No matter how we invest in Bitcoin, success will come one day.

To me, it seems better if guys attempt to try to be purposeful with the extent to which they might be buying extra bitcoin on the dip, since it seems that whenever money is available to buy the dip, that money has either been purposefully set aside for buying the dip or it was a result of some kind of surprise income stream.

Surely, if it is a product of a surprise income stream, I have no problem with the idea of buying the dip with the money, even though there even comes a dilemma if the BTC price happens to be dipping, and then the person buys right away or how does he determine if more dip might come? 

I think that if guys already have systems in place, then they are less likely to screw up their cashflow for buying on the dip purposes.

Surely guys who are regularly buying some kind of a budgeted amount of BTC each week, they  may also decide to hold back something like 20% of their BTC purchase amount for buying on the dip.  So then if they are already in the practice of holding money on the side to buy the dip, then as that money builds up they may well have to consider at which prices are they going to be buying the dip.  For example, at a 10% correction, and then every 5% additional dip until running out of dip buying money.

Some guys likely consider that they are going to hold money on the side to buy the dip, and then they are going to attempt to maximize their use of such dip money by figuring out how much of a dip is a good dip, and that just seems like a fantasy to me.  I personally think that guys should attempt to mostly be more systematic rather than imagining that they will be able to magically figure out the dip location.  That kind of dip buyings seems too much like fantasizing and a form of gambling.

Although I am in favor of buying Bitcoin regularly, I still support dips. Because I can divide my money into three parts, for example, if I want to invest $50/100 every week, then (if it is $50) $20 for regular, $20 for dips, and $10 for emergencies. Suppose I buy $20 regularly every week, and keep $20 for dips and wait. I set a target like this, if there is a dip, I will buy Bitcoin with this dip money. In this way, I wait for two, four, six months, if desired, I will buy, otherwise I will keep depositing. And I have regular money, I will keep buying regularly from there. I think this method is good. If I buy with all the dollars at once, it will be seen that when there is a lot of dips, I do not have any dollars left. Then I will feel and regret it, so we need to create a fund called dip to buy Bitcoin. Sometimes there is a market crash, then we can use that emergency money.  Or you can use it for any need you have. I think there is no alternative to saving to make your future life beautiful.

Although we know that Satoshi is the founder of Bitcoin, now as far as I know Satoshi has more than 1 million Bitcoins. Now we don't know if Satoshi is alive or dead, if Satoshi is alive then he is definitely one of the richest people in the world. It will not help to see who is rich now, pay attention to how much Bitcoin you have. From now on you buy Bitcoin and become rich in the future. There will be no benefit in focusing on what others are doing, so you invest and many people will think of you as a rich person in the future.
