    Like watering a plant we must give it just enough and not too much or it will sink or end up with a wilted portfolio. I think it's all about balance but you may also be tempted to take risks or withdraw some of your investment at any time.
    Yes, balance must be considered. You also have to adjust your income and investment budget and you can't invest 100% your budged in bitcoin if you still need that budget to meet your daily needs. Ultimately building a portfolio has to be very well balanced financially because when you get more budget for investments then you are bound to get into trouble in other areas due to your inability to make ends meet.

    However, if you want your investment to be able to provide large returns, then you must have careful planning to build a portfolio with large enough budget too. It's hard to expect huge returns on such small budget, it's ridiculous.
    Actually, big returns can be expected form big investment. But those who expect from the lower investment that would be foolish in some sense. However, in case of long-term Bitcoin hoarders may differ. They can expect something big. Because we have an approximate idea of how big it can be in the long run. A long time ago I heard a word  by Elon Musk that if your investment is not big then your income will not grow. This is absolutely true. Because even a few days back people were unaware they invested in various scam projects and made big money through big pumping events. Many have lost large amounts as well. Nowadays people are now very aware of that situation. That kind of opportunity no longer exists. Now you have to choose between bitcoin or top alts coins for reliable investment. After a long period of investment if you don't make more money as expected then the investment seem to be worthless.

    You seem to have a lot of mixed up ideas Rabata.

    I am not really disagreeing with your various points, but you still seem to be lacking focus in terms of attempting to frame your ideas in regards to the topic of this thread, which is bitcoin (not shitcoins, which you mentioned several times), and your ideas that seem to gravitate towards gambling and trading and quoting some goofballs such as Elon Musk who seems to have more of a gambling rather than an investor mentality, even though he has gotten rich off of his various Go BIG or GO HOME approaches to life.. but who fucking cares about Elon Musk, people should not be trying to emulate that dweeb or to follow him or his trades, he surely does not seem to be giving practical advice that could apply to broader segments of the population, even though his gambling mentality, gambling approach and his seemingly gambling-laden advice might work for some people.

    The ideas of this thread is not really about gambling and fucking around with trading and taking unnecessary risks, but instead trying to come up with and to follow a longer term prudent and reasonable strategy that largely attempts to emphasize the accumulation of BTC and to mostly hold BTC while building up the stack (stash) of bitcoin  with the hope that through a longer term passage of time, that having had mostly continued to invest and accumulate bitcoin will end up paying off way more than more erratic strategies.

    Of course, even within the parameters of the topic of this thread, we don't necessarily completely agree with how to go about accumulating BTC .. except we are large in agreement that we are talking about accumulation of BTC strategies that involve various forms of ongoingly buying BTC.. and not calculating various forms to trade or to sell BTC.. and surely Elon Musk was not a very good example of what we are talking about in this thread.. Do you remember that dweeb.. he bought and then he sold several times, and sure maybe some of that worked out for him in the short term, but still his situation is way too complicated and maybe he is even pumping bullshit and causing confusion regarding what longer term strategies might be that mostly involve attempting to build a BTC position through buying.

    Sure, you seem to admit that there is some time element that could be advantageous in terms of investing into bitcoin, too, so another aspect that relates to your "go big" proclamation is that even reasonably prudent and modestly aggressive investment strategies could well end up paying off quite handsomely for bitcoin, because even though maybe these days you might be better off to put $100 per week into bitcoin in order to get similar results as the person who had put $10 per week into bitcoin starting in 2016. 

    So the guy who had stared investing $10 per week in 2016 would have invested around $3,660 and would have accumulated close to 1.2BTC.  Does not seem to be shabby results, even for a relatively modest level of investment over the past 7 years.

    Don't get  me wrong.  I am not even going to concede that the guy who invest $100 per week will be able to catch up to the guy who had started to invest $10 per week in 2016, but still even though the amount that needs to be invested might have had gone up in the last 7 years, it still does not suggest that bitcoin is not a good ongoing investment and that bitcoin is quite likely having a stronger investment thesis now as compared to what its investment thesis was in 2016.

    1) Self-Custody is a right.  Resist being labelled as: "non-custodial" or "un-hosted."  2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized.  3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k
