Loan has side effects to investment, it acts as unforseen circumstances most time remember the market may not go as you speculate within the period of loan towards your investment, it's better to sell off your valuable property and use it than involved in anything loan because the term or condition of loan can course you pains at the end where your purpose of holding won't be achieved, except you have no plan of holding your only investing to target profit by quick withdrawal which is contrary to DCA strategy, engaging on loan to invest for me is considered poor planning strategy for an investor who uses it as medium for investing on BTC it can be for fiat system but  for the purpose of long holding or the DCA strategy is not advisable at all as that can destroy your investment overnight.

Remember that for you to borrow on investment on BTC it shows that your financial income is very low because if your income is ok you can plan yourself and cut off percentage that will be comfortable for you to invest without going into loan, remember no loan is interest free and most time required collateral if the market dose not work as speculated before taking the loan to invest you may be loosing in both side, the aspect of your collateral and the market. Selling the property can give you rest of mind why you invest with it, than taking loan to pay back with interest.

problem of many in Bitcoin investment is planning because if you don't planned well it will be difficult to hold BTC because when pressure is all around you the only option will be to sell off your BTC by then your investment has be defeated there is nothing wrong in starting with what you can afford that will give comfort and allow you to hold long time than create room for unnecessary pressure that will terminate your investment , starting a raise is not the issue but ending it well that where the results lies .

I don't know where y'all got the loan inspiration for investing bitcoin from but be rest assured that you're making a big mistake if you ever take loan to invest in bitcoin knowing how volatile the market can be, it's a very bad decision.

Now, let's say you took a loan to invest in bitcoin as a result of fomo, then it's absolutely the biggest risk of your life. Basically bitcoin is not a get-rich
-quick scheme, so when you're thinking of investing in bitcoin you should be thinking of it in a long term cognition as it doesn't give profit over night for you to pay back loans, hence I will advice you better take a job, work extra hours for more income, do extra jobs you can do two or three jobs to increase your monthly income and at the end you should split the incomes to fit in for investment as you need an emergency funds for about 3-6 months of savings in order for your investment to be safe.

Anyone thinking of taking loans for bitcoin investment should resist such suggestions let's not get ourselves into trouble while trying to invest in bitcoin. The concept of this thread is buy the dips and hold which means you should buy specifically for a long term not a short term that warrants the suggestions of loans, so loans and/or borrowing of any kind shouldn't be an option.  

As long as @martinex have figured out the amount that he is using for regular DCA without it affecting other financial aspect of his life, he does not need to analyze the market. This is because he needs to focus on accumulating, and analyzing the market will be a distraction for him. Also we know that to analyze the market is difficult and no one can predict the next price movement of bitcoin, which always make most traders run at lost. He is not trading but hodling and building, which makes market analysis useless to him.

The reason why you see that @martinex Satoshi that he bought is not the same like he stated on his post is because the price of bitcoin fluctuates. This is why using DCA is the best method to accumulate and build your portfolio, because you will always buy bitcoin at different price. As a beginner that he is, he should continue with using the amount that he believes is his discretionary income to buy weekly or monthly regularly, and he does not need to increase it, to avoid shortage in other financial aspects.

However, if his discretionary income increases, he can also increase the amount that he is using to DCA. This will help him stay consistent and persistent in accumulating weekly or monthly.

I totally disagree with this statement here that I made bold, as  an investor, I think it's pointless analysing the market because as an investor that is only thinking long, it actually not necessary doing that, analysing the market are meant for traders, not an investor that is only thinking long term.

But I fully agree with this other statement that we should only invest money we can afford to lose, to me, that is what a good investor in Bitcoin should be doing, by investing an amount of money he or she can do away without for a very long period of time.

I think better strategy would be Buy the DIP, sell at local high, open short, HODL and sell at local low. Rinse and repeat. Indefinitely. Yes, it is easier said than done. But for me, it is easier after around 6 months of watch, learn, and execute.

That is not a good strategy, and mind you we are not talking about selling but how can a new investor buy bitcoin and the strategy which he can use to make sure that he keeps on buying and at the same time keep on hodli for a long period of time. Investing in bitcoin is for the future and not to sell in a year or two, because it is the same thing as trading. The best way is to assign an amount based on your own discretionary income after setting aside your emergency funds, reserve funds and float. You use that amount to buy bitcoin regularly either weekly or monthly, and make sure not to skip any week or month so that you can gradually grow your bitcoin investment portfolio. Let's say you do this consistently for 4 years and above.

Buying and selling to buy back not ideal, because you might end up running at loss after selling, you might not be able to buy back if bitcoin price keeps pumping, which make it not a wise idea. Slow and steady win the race. No need to watch the market before buying, as that is not important when buying using DCA strategy.

Why will you compare bitcoin to fucking football betting. It means that you don't have any idea of bitcoin. Bitcoin should be compared with other assets like gold, and real estate. Which have being in existence for a long period of time and business tycoons have understood that they appreciate overtime. Bitcoin is even better than those two that I mentioned because of her high volatile nature, and high demand for it.

I will not support borrowing to invest in Bitcoin. The chances of it ending in trouble is high because loan have duration to pay back which you are not sure that Bitcoin will be able to have risen for you to sell and pay. Besides, buying Bitcoin with borrowed funds will steal the peace of mind that is needed to hold the investment for long term which is highly recommended for investment in Bitcoin.

It is very difficult for an ordinary individual to borrow funds whose tenor is 5-10 years, the benchmark for Bitcoin investment. The best I have seen for individuals is 3 years tenor and this is even through government intervention programs. Borrowing to invest in Bitcoin is under 3 years duration is somehow a short term duration that might not be ideal for long term investment.

It is better for the individual investor to start with what he has and possibly apply the DCA method if such amount is not what he targets as total sum to invest in Bitcoin.  As time progresses, he would have been able to get inflow from other means, part of which he can continue adding into the DCA program.

Actually, buying on dips definitely requires time to wait for the price to fall to the target we want. In line with this idea, you have to apply another idea so that your bitcoin accumulation continues, namely buying with the dca strategy once a week. To apply it simultaneously you only need to divide your money to buy in dips and buy regularly so that you will focus on the two patterns that you will carry out in bitcoin investment.

So far, I think people have misinterpreted buying at dips, where they only wait for the decline but don't make regular purchases so that it will make you need more time to reach satisfaction with your BTC holdings.

It sounds like you are going to have fun staying poor.

Taking loan is never an option when investing in Bitcoin.Like everyone here keep emphasizing that invest on what you can afford to lose,so taking loan with the mindset of investing on Bitcoin is wrong as an investor.When we talk about investing it refers to long term,now this is where most investors fail to understand long-term isn't 6months or 1year when talking about long term it simply means holding your Bitcoin for 4-5 years,so all I'm saying in essence is investors should avoid taking loans with the perspective of investing on Bitcoin because loan taking has deadline for payment and if an investor can't meet up the payment deadline it will make the investor tamper on his or her holding to clear the debt.It's best we accumulate bitcoin from our source of income and using the DCA strategy.
