Let say there is a coin that is worth say 2 dollars. You read about it on this forum or through google and believe this coin will go up a lot. Now the coin goes up to say 5 dollars or so. You wanted to get some at 2 dollars but did not because you wanted to get a decent amount. The coin then goes all the way to say 5 dollars or even 10 dollars. Thus if you buy it, you cannot get as much of it as oppose to you buying it at 2 dollars. If you think a coin will hit 20 dollars at least in the future, does that mean if it goes to 5 dollars, just buy it? The thing is i kept wanting it to drop back to 3 or 2 dollars so i could get a decent amount. Then the coin just kept going higher and higher. So my thoughts are i cannot multiply the money that much if its 5 or 10 dollars as oppose to buying it at 2 dollars. So i want to know what is your strategy for buying altcoins at different prices. Thus if you think a coin will hit 20 dollars, will you buy it even at 5 or 10? Obviously if you ask someone not in cryptocurrency, obviously that would be yes because thats a huge gain.

Say you have 5 coins that you want to buy. You believe all these coins will at least double... some coins might 10x or 25x or 50x etc. You can buy now but you won't be able to get as much shares of a coin that you like etc. So do you wait for price to drop... or you just buy it now? The thing is do you ever set a price where okay if this coin hits 5 dollars, im automatically buying no matter what because if you wait any longer, it could be 7 or 10 etc.

There have been a number of coins i wanted to get but i didn't buy it because i kept wanting it to dip so i could buy it at lower price... only for it to go higher where it doesn't look like the price will ever drop down to the price i want it to be. I mean you could say its like btc. Now if you wanted to buy btc at 500 but didn't and waited for it to drip but didn't, then waited and btc kept going up, don't you all say you shouldn't have waited because the price of 500 and 600 isn't that big since the coin went up so high? However with altcoins its much different because these coins can't hit those btc prices right?

Ya this is the problem people who bought BTC was dealing with. They bought BTC for like 33 cents, then it went to $30 or even $100, and they sold and were high-fiving themselves.

10 years later and people are laughing at them for being losers!

I think you should know for yourself if the coin you're investing in will be worth $4 or $40. If you don't, then you'er only trading on short-term news, and thus you should probably sell as soon as it doubles, if that.
