In Bitcoin investment there's no such words as "impossibilities". Market rise and fall daily likewise bitcoin. Some things that people don't understand is that the principles of bitcoin innovation cannot allow bitcoin go down below some certain prices. As it stands now, it is not very realistic to start imagining bitcoin at below 70k which is already a good landmark compared to the price of bitcoin in June last year.

Actually this kind of temporary correction of Bitcoin is a common thing, the price of Bitcoin was at the highest level some time ago, and it is normal to expect a correction at the moment, but it will not last long, it will recover very soon.
Correction is a normal thing and buying at this time brings more profit potential. The more bitcoins an investor can buy during this correction, the more profitable he will be in the long run. Because it is proven that Bitcoin recovers strongly after every correction. So those who utilize this kind of opportunity, they can definitely benefit in the future.

Are you sure of what you are saying?
Am talking about the bold letters in your statement,  what about those that were forced to sell at a loss due to the fact they have no emergency funds in place when a serious financial needs arises?
Or those people that sold their Bitcoin bit by bit at a loss due to bad financial planing?
It is mostly long term holder and mostly people that are in no pressure to sell that always benefits from Bitcoin investment, once you are forced to sell your holdings, their is a very high likelihood that you might sell in a loss because the value of Bitcoin might be down as at then, so try to be sure of what you are saying before talking.

Personally, tea is a basic need in my family because we drink tea everyday and it's always part of our budget. Maybe, in your house there are no children, if not you wouldn't say tea is a bad habit because tea is nutritious and drives cold. However, what is a basic need to me might not be to someone else.
Things that are your wants are irrelevant and you need to avoid them, if you are fun of them. If you drink beer everyday, you can drink once in a week during the weekend if it's compulsory that you must drink. You have to take very good care of yourself, so that you will be healthy to work and get other means of income as you are building your bitcoin portfolio, so that you can increase the amount that you arw using to buy bitcoin and invest aggressively.

I consider DCA  to be way more flexible than you are making it out to be.  You could have DCAs that are very aggressive and approach the use of 100% of your disposable income for buying BTC whenever the money comes in or you can make a weekly determination.

You could also set up DCA to be automatic and a very low number such as $10 per week (and maybe your disposable income is $1k per week, so you pick a real low and whimpy number such as $10 per week, or you could pick a more aggressive number.  Of course the more aggressive you are, then the more careful you need to be that you don't overdo it and make mistakes and being more aggressive likely justifies having a more solid system of emergency and back up funds in place in order to rescue you if .you go to far in regards to your DCA or if you miscalculate and end up spending outside of your disposable income and from money you need for your expenses.

Motivation helps, yet it still seems that the motivation on its own is not going to be very helpful if the motivation is targeted in faulty kinds of ways... accordingly, the shitcoiner may well have similar motives as the long term bitcoiner, and frequently the shitcoiner believes that he is going to be able to do better than the bitcoiner, since the bitcoin is too old.. already costs a lot and involves a bunch of boomers, and so the shitcoiner may well be very motivated to study 100s of shitcoins and even to put together multiple charts ranking the shitcoins based on various criteria... and so often, the shitcoiner does not realize that he is being played and sucked into a gambling kind of a mindset, that might have some short term benefits, and he might even get rewarded by having some gainz, yet he might not realize until after 6 years or more that so much of what he had been doing was not very good use of time, energies and value, and he would have had done way better to have had gone exclusively bitcoin or at least something like 90% or more bitcoin rather than fucking around and trying to figure out 100s and perhaps thousands of shitcoins.

It is possible that he could have learned some valuable skills along the way,  yet at the same time, it is also possible that he could have had learned as much (or even more) valuable information by focusing 90% or more on bitcoin.

So the shitcoiner/gambler/trader is still likely to be motivated - even though in a kind of unhinged kind of motivation that ends up having a lot of costs and various lackings in the right kinds of focus.

Exactly, but the truth is that aside shelter, food and clothing, there are other things that can be prioritize as to be considered a basic needs which might completely differ from the next person.  In a real sense, until a man is good enough to satisfy whatever he or she considered to be his or her basic needs, and have a left over cash to invest in Bitcoin he or she can not successfully be investing in Bitcoin without selling the Bitcoin along the line to solve their other needs, it takes discipline to have a good direction of how we spend even the little we have  wisely in a much better ways compared to those that have more.

BlackRock is buying a lot of Bitcoin.  That makes some people worried.  A company that is big could easily mess with the price of Bitcoin, even if they're not breaking any laws.  They have to look after their customers' money, but they could also be making money for themselves at the same time. We need to make sure they're doing the right thing.

Yes, you won't get the right idea about Bitcoin from a trader. The trader buys bitcoins and sells them at some profit. So if you go to a trader to get ideas about Bitcoin then he will give you ideas about trading. When you invested, if you could have held until now, you could have been in good profit now. Bitcoin will grow in popularity day by day and Bitcoin price will continue to rise in the future. Since you realized you were wrong, you continue to invest in Bitcoin again and hold long term. So you can follow DCA method, which is the best method to invest in Bitcoin.

Exactly, I think he has already accumulated a lot of bitcoin earlier before now maybe he wouldn't want to take the risk to invest in bitcoin now that the price is expensive.

It might be that he hasn't even accumulated enough bitcoin probably just waiting for a dip before investing.

If you already accumulated enough bitcoin (or more than enough), then you are in a position to wait. 

If you have not accumulated enough bitcoin or more than enough bitcoin, then you might need to consider continuing to accumulate.  Of course, since you have been registered on the forum since 2017, you may well be in a position in which you have accumulated enough or more than enough bitcoin. . That is surely for you to figure out.

How do you know that Cryptmuster is even close to accumulating enough or more than enough bitcoin?  So frequently guys get into a trading kind of mentality, and they start to believe that they need to slow down in their BTC accumulation because the BTC price might correct, so even if they don't devolve into selling, they come to bitcoin with a faulty mindset that lacks in aggressiveness, so they likely had failed/refused to adequately/sufficiently prepare for UPpity in the past nearly 8 years, so they continue to make the same mistakes by overly focusing on the BTC price rather than focusing on whether they have enough or not.

Sure it is possible that Cryptmuster has accumulated enough or more than enough, but based on the way that he posted, I have my doubts. He seems to be waiting for the BTC price to dip, which may or may not end up happening, and really he should not even need the BTC price to dip... but hey, whatever, we cannot go back in time. We have to go from today and right now.  You buying or not? or do you think waiting is a good BTC investing strategy?

You are retarded if you are posting a bunch of pro-bitcoin posts, but still you have not yet started buying bitcoin. You have also been registered on the forum since May 2024, which provides further evidence of your level of dumb for not buying any bitcoin.  

Every alt has one thing in common which is they have a cycle like this:

1. It is launched.
2. It goes up.
3. and goes down and stay down forever.

Despite the fact that there are so many Atls that have eaten money of people, still people are investing money in coins like Trump and Manila. they might be the one who don't do proper research or study the past incidents before investing in such alts or the one who live in denial. Since we are discussing how to invest in Bitcoin and HODL here in this thread, our main focus must be about defining strategy on how to invest in Bitcoin and HODL for long term.  

I understand that in my most recent posts I have been waffling a bit on distinctions between investing and trading, since I recognize that there had been times that I had been too strict in my own descriptions, especially there can be some areas that end up overlapping.. and so surely it helps if the investment timeline is 4 years or longer and it also helps if there is not any kind of rush to withdraw large amounts at a time..

I also understand that once a bitcoin investment is largely in place and it is mostly either sustaining its value and/or growing in value (also needing to attempt to account for debasement of fiat), then these would seem to be more investment practices rather than trading practices, even though once the investment is largely in place, there can be trading within it without really jeopardizing the overall value of the investment that would largely be growing or even having core amounts of the invest that does not get withdrawn, it just largely sits and continues to gain in value .

There are many threads, including this one, that has more of a focus on whether and how to get started rather than how to manage your investment after you have been in it for a cycle or two... so both getting started and how to maintain an accumulation practice for a whole cycle seems to be the first part that many newbies need to get through before they reach the dilemma (and the various practices and additional options) that comes from considering how to manage their BTC holdings after they had spent a decent amount of time building it up to a status of sufficient and/or overaccumulation.

Yet the question of trade versus investment still likely remains relevant because of course, if a newbie cannot even get into the mindset of investing rather than trading, then we might be talking past each other, and I don't give too many shits about trying to help anyone to figure out how to trade bitcoin, they can do that on their own, since it can be a crapshoot and if folks are coming to bitcoin to gamble or trade, then that's on them to figure out those kinds of details and/or to make their guesses of BTC price direction based on those trading/gambling kinds of considerations.  The investor does not need to get caught up in that and just largely start out putting in money into bitcoin on a regular basis for 4-10 years or longer and just keep building and then once the BTC holdings is built to a certain level, reassess options at that point.. and presumptively the BTC price goes up during the whole process, even though it is not guaranteed to go up, yet bitcoin is likely amongst one of the best, if not the best, asymmetric bet to the upside, and I am using the term bet in regards to long term, which asymmetric bet means that the most that as long as leverage is not employed, then the most that can be lost is 100%, yet the upside potential seems to be quite great (even though not guaranteed).
