Re: Procrastination of your Bitcoin investment

People keep delaying their investment because they want to get a low price, after reaching a low price due to the decline they start to think again maybe waiting for a deeper Dip but in reality it is the wrong action, like he is greedy wanting to buy at a low price but he does not realize that the coin can go up at any time.

No need to delay for now but I myself only focus on bitcoin.

Even though the price is high like now, still buy using the DCA method even though it is small, only $ 10, at least that's what has been done to try to accumulate.

Because I still don't have big responsibilities, and I still don't have a wife, I myself can still freely buy bitcoin with a fairly large percentage after receiving a salary, at least that's what I do rather than nothing at all.

Indeed, the investment process is not easy, it takes practice from small things with the amount bought into Bitcoin, the rest in the process can be increased, this is what I do slowly because if at once it will burden where it is still improving cash flow management and the like to support this.
But I'm sure in the process of small things it will definitely be even bigger in the future, starting from small for a long time will become a mountain, that's probably the saying we often hear.
What is certain is to consistently invest even though it is $10 but when I continue to do it then I will learn from everything that has passed.
You have tried to go in a better direction in terms of investment which is specifically with Bitcoin and I dare say that it is the best option that you need to maintain in the long term so you only need to stay focused on doing it continuously without getting bored. Because the investors in Bitcoin that we have seen in the past have also reaped more satisfying results at this time so that it has certainly become a fairly accurate example for everyone who wants to take that path. I am also trying to do something like that at the moment even though on the other hand I am also struggling to increase my own income to become bigger.
For now I am not looking at the profit results because it is still too far away that I hope it can go according to the plan for the next 10 years, but it all needs to go through our own way how to continue to accumulate endlessly every week or month.

Now thinking about how to stay consistent in the long run and not be tempted by short-term gains, currently it is more about honing management arrangements to be more efficient in investing in bitcoin for a long time.

One thing is for sure now, bitcoin will continue to buy even if it goes to $100K - $150K.
Still want to increase the budget for bitcoin, in any way then here needs to train skills in order to get from other sources.

For sure, I have never said that any of the investment process is easy, yet surely many of us realize that it becomes easier with practice and we improve one system at a time, and surely some folks might have some really messed up finances, yet they can still start to invest in bitcoin and little by little improve their various cashflow management systems while they are building their bitcoin investment size, and yeah, maybe many folks have to start out with just investing $10 per week and work theirselves up to higher levels after also fixing aspects of their cashflow management systems and/or practices.

A good investment strategy starts with how you manage your capital for investment and other things beyond investment including emergency fund. Then in investment management, you don't need to purchase bitcoin aggressively, it has nothing to do with your success. A good strategy is invest what you afford to lose, with capital you feel most comfortable for your investment. If aggressively purchases mean something like loans, leverage, it's not good strategy.

Investment success has nothing related to your investment capital like whether it is big or small. If you invest in a right asset with good strategy, you get great investment ROI, and that means your investment success and profit.
As long as we are able and can balance it with the income we have, why not? There is nothing that prohibits us from aggressively buying bitcoin, in fact it can be a pretty good thing, it just needs to be underlined that in this case we have to see whether we can minimize the risk or not because this is clearly closely related to our financial condition.

If we really can't balance it, it might be better not to do it, but when we can balance the income we get, the expenses we make and of course the investment, then I think there is no problem, in fact it will be a pretty good thing because we have the potential to get more bitcoins.

I personally want to do that but I realize that my financial condition is not good enough to handle aggressive purchases because I also have many needs so I don't do it, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't make aggressive purchases because as long as we can, do it.
Therefore we must be able to balance our income, at least there is a fixed monthly salary so we can still invest normally or aggressively depending on how our own expenses are managed.

Because I myself cannot force it when it cannot balance with monthly income, investing as usual does not need to be aggressive, it's just that we usually always have a monthly incentive, so that is what is used to buy bitcoin, so it can be said to be a little more aggressive in purchasing bitcoin.

Sometimes I am the same, sometimes monthly expenses are not decisive, therefore every time I get an incentive from the office, it is specifically for buying bitcoin, while monthly expenses can still be covered by salary.

Investing in Bitcoin with an emergency fund can cause more losses for the investor. Because if an investor invests in Bitcoin with an emergency fund, and after some time if he needs the money, what will he do? Then he will have to sell his Bitcoin holdings compulsorily, and if the price is low due to the volatility of Bitcoin at that time, he may also suffer losses. So these should never doing any time, danger can come at any time, when you need money. So the emergency fund should be used only for emergency situations. Using it for other purposes means destroying your protection charm.
This means that the person does not manage well if investing using emergency funds, because it is clear that there must be a risk if using emergency funds as you say the risk of loss and will sell bitcoin in an urgent situation due to emergency needs.

Investing should be enough with calm and calm mind.
1. Emergency funds are ready.
2. 1 month's needs have been met.
3. Leave a few percent to invest in bitcoin.

So that will not make a mistake in investing and we are calm even though only 20%, for example, for bitcoin but this is for the long term, meaning that the money that has been bought in bitcoin will not be disturbed again.

It is better for a trader to just quit trading and fully focus on Bitcoin investment if he or she really interested in bitcoin investment. That is the only way to be successful in Bitcoin investment. Trying to trade while also investing in Bitcoin will be very hard because trading has a short-term aim of making profits, whereas Bitcoin investment is a long-term journey some attention will be diverted and one side may jet more focus than one which i believe most people will focus more on trading as it short term result and that will seriously affect someon bitcoin investment.

Trading has no guarantee, and it is a very hard way of making profits. It is very possible for someone who loses all their funds in trading to tamper with their Bitcoin investment, thinking they can recover their losses through trading. From there, it is probable that the person will lose all the Bitcoin they have been accumulating.In fact, doing both trading and investing will not allow someone to focus on buying Bitcoin consistently over time.
Trading must be prepared for any risk at any time, especially using high leverage will deplete your assets.
Yes I prefer to invest in bitcoin even though it has no short-term profit, but we see the future to save and install as much bitcoin as possible then this will be more successful without any risk and pressure.

When the trader has lost funds in his account then he will be attacked by the mind and mental psyche because his assets have been lost due to trading and taking too much risk. How many people have experienced this and they are depressed? There are many cases.

It is true that if both are practiced, one of them is not focused. Maybe he can sell BTC back to add liquidity to his account.
So keep investing rather than trading.

Many normal people are not used to investing at all, so many normal people struggle to even invest 10% of their income into bitcoin or into anything else.  Many times beginners need to start with amounts that are more practical, such as 10%, yet still if you are able to invest higher amounts and still cover all your expenses, then surely you are likely to build up your bitcoin investment much faster, including that a person investing 30% of his income into bitcoin will be able to reach the investment of 1 years of his salary into bitcoin within about 3 years and 4 months.... which surely can be a good thing if people are able to accomplish that and without putting themselves into financial stress including maintaining various back up funds including emergency funds and reserve funds...and otherwise strong cashflow management practices.
At first it was quite difficult to invest because I was not used to investing like this, but over time, I myself have become accustomed to allocating higher than 30% of course this has covered monthly expenses, so that when there is still left over it is better to go to bitcoin than to buy consumptive goods.

Generally, it is good to have at least 3 months of emergency funds that are in the currency that your expenses are denominated, which you never touch absent an actual emergency in which you might lose income and/or your expenses might go up (such as an accident that involves costs). .. so then extra back up funds that you keep in excess of your emergency funds would be more flexible in regards to what those could be used for, such as buying bitcoin on the dip, or some other kinds of savings that you might have for example to buy yourself a computer or a phone or a car or a motorcycle or take your wife/girlfriend out for dinner or a special trip, buy a bike for your daughter or some other kind of thing that might not be in your regular budget but you want to save up for.
After seeing the balance in the bank, it is enough for the next 5 months as a reserve fund and this has indeed been untouched for 3 months because there has not been any urgency, so I will continue to maintain it while I can with the emergency fund.

But unfortunately the extra reserve fund does not exceed the emergency fund, this is only a little that is owned but I will not buy unnecessary items, because I already have items like what you mentioned such as computers, mobile, motorbikes.
Because I have a family, of course, I prefer to stay at home with my wife and children to save.

The rest is still trying to be allocated to something more productive.

It is o.k. to invest 20% of your income into bitcoin as long as you are investing from discretionary income.

it is a better practice to account for your expenses first, yet if you are sure that at least 20% of your income is going to be discretionary income, then there is no problem to invest 20% into bitcoin.

Also, if you have back up funds, such as an emergency funds and reserve funds, then those could save you if you make a mistake by accidentally investing too much into bitcoin in any given pay period.
I only invest 30% of my monthly income from each company salary, and this has only been implemented for the past few months even though I already know investing in bitcoin is good, but beginners may need to take courage in this attitude.

Yes, I always calculate the expenses first what is needed to be spent, after that the rest is to invest in bitcoin every month.

When it comes to reserve funds from the past, I have kept it because it is important for urgent needs, but now I am comfortable with the existence of reserve funds, which means that investment will be safe and will not be disturbed.
