So far I've found the best value to be in experiences. Fine food, travel, seeing new things, that sort of stuff. I have enough junk in my life.

We agree that being persistent and continuing to invest is likely a better decision, yet guys will sometimes not realize the impact of what they are doing, and so they might not even really feel any large difference for 4-6 years later, and then by the time that they realize that they had taken a less preferred (less profitable) path, it will be way too late to go back and do the situation over, so sometimes even a $10 to $50 per week contribution over 4-6 years might end up paying off, even if previously the guy  had been able to invest $100 per week, and so sometimes even small amounts compound upon themselves.

I had a situation in which I was investing into bitcoin between late 2013 and early 2015 and the BTC prices largely went down from around $1,100 in late 2013 to around $250 through much of 2015.

I had been investing at higher prices so by the time early 2015 came, I had an average cost per BTC that were right around $550, but the then prices were right around $250.  I had some cashflow problems with income going down and some needs to cut expenses based on the income going down, so there were several months that I could not buy any bitcoin at all, even though the BTC prices were generally low, but at the same time, I did not have enough discretionary income in order to justify buying bitcoin, so I figured out a plan that as my income started to normalize, any times that i received some extra income, then I would split it in half.  Half of it would be used to buy bitcoin and the other half would be used to put in my various expected expenses.l  So then there were a few months of complete dry period, then a few months of scattered buy and then a few months were I was again able to buy more regularly... so that was a tough period, yet you can imagine during that period in 2015, if I had a situation where an additional $100 came in, and then I decided to buy $50 of bitcoin, I would get 0.2 BTC for that $50, and so the amounts that I put in were seemingly small, but they ended up having really great payoffs further down the road... even though at the time, I considered that my income and my expenses were messed up for more than half of 2015... The second half of 2015 was more normalized but still with a bit more tightness than what had existed prior to January 2015.

During that time, there were quite a few people who were suggesting that I sell what I had rather than continuing to buy more BTC, even though the buy amounts were not a lot and they were a bit scattered.

Of course, we cannot go back to 2015, yet there were similar kind of dynamics between 2018 and 2020 in which the BTC price spent a lot of time between $5k and $9k, and even though there was a lot of price variation even beyond those prices, a lot of bitcoin could have been accumulated between the $5k and $9k range.  Similar in 2022 and 2023, there was a lot of time that the BTC price spent between $17k and $35k.. and yeah better to have been able to buy cheaper, yet even the $35k prices are not seeming too bad right now, if they were to ever be possible again.

Right now I am getting the sense that sub $75k will never happen again, even though I cannot be sure, and it is even possible that sub $112k will never be seen again... so even between mid-November 2024 to June 2025 we spent quite a bit of time between $85k and $106k, which I get the sense that those would have been good prices to buy bitcoin, yet there were a decent number of folks selling between $85k and $106k in that late 2024 to mid-2025 time period... and yeah history has not been written yet, so it is possible that we could return to that area, yet it is not even close to guaranteed that such return will happen.

Ongoingly, we can ONLY deal with what is in front of us, and if we are not regularly buying, then we might end up not being able to stack as much as we could have had stacked during earlier periods.

The link you posted answers your question:

Let me tell you briefly, if you want to explore in the crypto space as a newbie, I'll advice you put your interest on learning about bitcoin only because, it's the most reliable while others mimicked from it properties and yet aren't up to the standard for resilience regarded that cryptocurrencies is volatile and the essence of finding other reliable crypto currencies wouldn't be an easy task for newbies like you at the moment.
So, prioritize your crypto journey more on bitcoin as you may have been quite little exposed on bitcoin news While you may consider diversifying to other cryptocurrencies after you must have find your way in the industry because, you either don't need anyone to ask you to adopt any coin because, it maybe misleading at the end but making your own research to suit your dream may minimize your risks of investing on worthless coins.

There are many Bitcoin research websites, and some of them, especially those on social media, do not provide accurate information. Because of this, you may learn the wrong thing. I found Bitcoin wiki in this community, and it's what I use most now.

Apart from his first post, his short post history consists of spam all over the forum with AI-generated messages, and probably AI-translated messages, promoting a certain platform, i.e., spamming. I already reported one of his posts that was deleted, mentioning this fact, and now I see that you have written another very similar one.

The moderators are very self-centered because I did nothing wrong but they are deleting my post. They gave hs 1 moderator, 3 merit sources and they have 5 merit sources in total but we are not satisfied.

আসলে বিষয়টা শুধুমাত্র কপালের কারণে হয়নি, আমি মূলত আমার বেশিরভাগ ইনভেসমেন্ট  বিটকয়েন  কেন্দ্রিক রেখেছি, আর এর ফলে  অল্ট কয়েন গুলোতে লস খাওয়ার পরেও বিটকয়েন ইনভেস্টমেন্টে প্রফিট হওয়ার কারণে সেই লসগুলো ঢাকা পড়ে গিয়েছে। এক্ষেত্রে বলতে পারেন যে আমার ভাগ্য কিছুটা সহায় অবশ্যই হয়েছে যে আমি বিটকয়েনের মর্মার্থ বুঝতে পেরেছি এবং সাইকেল অবজারভেশনে রেখে সঠিক সময়ে লং টাইম এর investment করতে পেরেছিলাম এবং সেটাকে ধরে রাখতে পেরেছিলাম। কারণ এমন অনেক লোক দেখেছি যে বিটকয়েন যখন ৭৪কে এর রেঞ্জে গিয়েছিল তখন প্যানিক হয়ে সেল করে দিয়েছে।

আসলে এটা করা ছাড়া আর কোন উপায় নাই, আমি আসলে চিন্তা করতেছি বর্তমানে যেসব অল্ট কয়েনে ইনভেস্টমেন্ট করেছিলাম সেগুলোর যে দাম রয়েছে সেই দামে সেল করে দেওয়ার থেকে এই টাকাগুলি আমার একেবারে নষ্ট হয়ে যাক এটাই ভালো।

আর যদি কখনো ভাগ্যের টাকা খুলে তাহলে হয়তোবা পাম্প করতেও পারে।

DCA is an effective strategy for both rich and poor, especially those who are interested in long-term investment. There are many rich people who fail to be patient. Many of them do not feel very comfortable with long-term investment, on the other hand, some people with small incomes also invest long-term to achieve their goals. Being rich or poor is not the main thing. Those who are able to invest in Bitcoin with confidence and for the long term will definitely benefit. Bitcoin is completely free and even if it is equal for both rich and poor, those who can hold more Bitcoin will be successful.

I think if those who don’t earn so much but still see Bitcoin to be a coin with some great potentials do mean to invest, they wouldn’t be so focused on what price it is for one bitcoin at the time but, shift their attentions towards what fraction of bitcoin they can allow themselves to buy and keep accumulating on the long run. It’s the one way to measure up if they ever what to be a part of this innovation rather than have all their attention focused on how high the price have gone. That way, it would be difficult buying!

I know, this forum was his house, so there is no problem by calling for him here.  

Ultimately, whatever you do is up to you, and surely it seems to me that even investing into bitcoin for a whole cycle might not be enough to really accumulate a sizable position, even if you might be able to frontload your bitcoin investment.  Another thing if you invest into shitcoins you most likely have to think about them as a trade in terms of when to get in and when to get out of them, and frequently they are not really worth diluting your bitcoin investment by dickering around with shitcoins, but yeah, that is also your choice regarding whether to buy shitcoins and/or how much of your budget you are willing to allocate to shitcoins.  

I frequently suggest no more than 10 % the size of your bitcoin holdings to go into shitcoins and/or trading, yet at the same time, you have to figure out if you have some kind of a compelling reason to invest into shitcoins at a higher rate and/or whether there might be some compelling reason to deviate from such a cap, and surely the more shitcoins that attract your attention then the more your investment in bitcoin potentially get diluted, especially if you are not keeping adequate limitations on your shitcoin and/or trading involvement. and surely I had frequently mentioned to guys that even if they are investing 20% of their income into bitcoin, it is still going to take 5 years for them to get a whole year of their income invested into bitcoin, and so if they dilute their bitcoin investment it will take longer, and surely many folks have difficulties investing even 10% of their income, so that would take 10 years to get to 1 year invested in bitcoin, yet surely if you had already been investing prior to getting into bitcoin, then you surely might have some money (an investment portfolio already built up, and sometimes having an investment portfolio, then you have more to work with if you decide to reallocate some of the already accumulated value of that into bitcoin).

With an investment like bitcoin, we might be striving to get to a point where we might be able to have accumulated enough bitcoin (along with bitcoin's price appreciation) to be able to live off of the income from withdrawing from our bitcoin, which could take at least a couple of cycles to achieve such level of bitcoin accumulation and BTC price appreciation, and perhaps even longer if the investment is diluted into either shitcoins or even undermining the investment by trying to trade it or to overly attempt to time bitcoin price dips that might not end up happening.

আমার আসলে বর্তমানে বিটকয়েন নিয়ে বেশি চিন্তা নাই কারণ বিটকয়েন অলরেডি সেল করে দিয়েছি এবং যা প্রফিট অর্জন করেছি তা আলহামদুলিল্লাহ, বিটকয়েনই আমাকে আমি অল্ট কয়েন গুলোতে ইনভেস্টমেন্ট করে যে লস খেয়েছিলাম সেখান থেকে রিকভার করেছে।

তবে এখনো আমি সেই অল্ট কয়েন গুলো  হোল্ড করে যাচ্ছি, সেল করে দেইনি তাই আল্টিমেটলি লস এখনো আমার হয়নি যদি এই সিজনে অল্ট সিজন স্টার্ট হয় তাহলে হয়তো বা আমার কপাল খুলবে।  আর এই জন্যই মূলত আমি মার্কেট নিয়ে একটু বর্তমানে অবাক হচ্ছি এবং আবারও বুকে  একটু আশা বাধতেছে।  খুব বেশি কিছু না আমি যেসব কয়নে ইনভেস্টমেন্ট করেছি সেগুলো রিকভারি হলেই আমার জন্য যথেষ্ট, কারণ রিকভারি করতে গেলেও সেই সব কয়েন গুলোকে কয়েকগুণ দাম বাড়তে হবে।

বিটকয়েন ATH করলো, ইথিরিয়াম ও ATH করলো। শুধু অল্টকয়েন ই ঝিম ধরে বসে আছে। কবে যে অল্ট কয়েন এর বুল রান শুরু হবে। সবাই এর আশায় ই বসে আছে,  বসে থেকে অল্ট হোল্ড করে অনেকের ৩/৪ গুন ফান্ড আজকে নেই। মার্কেট কন্ডিশন তো ভালোই উড়তেছে। দেখা যাক কি হয় আগামি সপ্তাহে

সম্মানিত ভাই এবং ব্রাদার্সরা আর যদি আপুরা থাকেন, অনেক তো হলো পাথর কেলেঙ্কারি নিয়ে কথা, মার্কেটের অবস্থা কি কেউ খেয়াল রাখতেছেন?  https://bitcoindata.science/api/localprice.php?coin=bitcoin&amount=1&currency=USD&hex=000000

গতকাল মার্কেট দেখে আমি অবাক হয়েছিলাম যে  ইথারিয়াম প্রায় তার নতুন অলটাইম হাই প্রাইস তৈরি করার কাছাকাছি চলে গিয়েছিল কিন্তু অল্পের জন্য করতে পারেনি।  আর এই দিক দিয়ে আবার বর্তমানে মার্কেটের লালবাতি দেখতে পাচ্ছি প্রায় সকল কয়েনেই লালবাতি জ্বলে উঠেছে?
এটাকে আসলেই ছোট একটা মার্কেট কারেকশন নাকি আমি যেটা এর আগে বলতেছিলাম সেই রাস্তায় যাচ্ছে? যদিও আমার মনে হচ্ছে এই যাত্রায় হয়তোবা আমরা ছোটখাটো একটা অল্ট সিজন  দেখা পেতে পারি যদিও আমার  এক্সপেক্টেশন অন্যটা ছিল এই মার্কেট নিয়ে।

Look, his trust in you as a friend is very good, which is commendable. You introduced him to the DCA method, and he also makes good profits. However, borrowing money from someone for investment is always a significant risk. Today, he is making a profit, but if he takes the responsibility here, he will be at a loss tomorrow; he needs to understand his money and risk. When friendship and money go together, sometimes the relationship breaks down. So in my opinion, even if you want to, it would not be right to lend him money right now.
Instead, encourage him to invest according to his ability, and gradually increase his stake. He will be able to grow with the profit money, not by borrowing. The right advice from a friend is the most significant help. If you can do this, I think it will be the best.

জানি না কে বাংলাদেশকে সোনার বাংলাদেশ বলেছিলো, আসলে বাংলাদেশ হলো চোরের দেশ, এই দেশে কোন ভালো মানুষ দেখতে পাচ্ছি না। বর্তমানে সবাই যার যার নিজের স্বার্থের দিকে রয়েছে। আগে আওয়ামী লীগের নেতারা চাটছে, এহন বিএনপি নেতারা চাটছে, আসলে যে বনে যায় সেই বাঘ হয়ে যায়, কেউ ভালো নয়। 

If you are new to bitcoin, it is likely better to just be buying regularly rather than trying to figure out if there is a dip or not.

You have ONLY been registered on the forum for 10 days.  Have you been accumulating bitcoin for longer than 10 days? or are you merely employing a waiting for the dip strategy when the dip may or may not come.

Don't get me wrong. There can be places for newbies to either deploy buying the dip strategies or to supplement their DCA and/or their lump sum with buying the dips.

Let's say that you are brand new to bitcoin, and you had started investing into bitcoin about two months ago at $100 per week, and so now you were considering rolling over $5k that you had in your savings, so with the $5k, you are considering the extent to which you might lump sum (buy right away), DCA and/or buy dips.   You could divide it into three... or you could just decide to buy 1/2 right away and the other 1/2 buying on dips.. especially since you have already been DCA'ing the $100 per week from your discretionary income.

Another way to employ buying on dips is to allocate some amount of your weekly DCA for buying dips, yet surely there are trade-offs for those kinds of choices, and there is no exact correct answer, even though there likely are some answers that are better than others in regards to also taking into account your own personal factors.
