Procrastination which is said to be the act of delaying something important despite knowing the consequences of doing so, is one of the reasons why many people miss out on big opportunities.

I do not think that there is anyone who would procrastinate when it comes to buying bitcoin in preparation for the next halving. If wishes were horses but not everyone has the means to buy bitcoin as they would want to. A lot of people may have a major problem which is financial constraint to be able to invest buy bitcoin now in hope for the halving.  Basically, what I would advice folks is that they should prioritize buying bitcoin now. The price may or may not go up after the next halving we cannot tell. We are only relying on past data to predict the future and as you have rightly said, when there is shortage of supply and high demand, the price would go up.

 I've had conversations with several individuals and I found out that most them are fully aware of the benefits of cryptocurrency at large but are still having doubts or would I rather say the fear of the unknown due to the unstable price of bitcoin, they focus more on the negative side or losing or fear of losing out completely other than the benefits of investing in bitcoin, there are others who are willing to take a bold step but have little knowledge or need guidance from crypto enthusiasts, i have an information for these set of people because knowledge they say is power and constant education and information would enable people to fast track the adoption of bitcoin and enjoy it's benefits.
 
 In the crypto ecosystem there's something called the crypto solar eclipse also known as the bitcoin halving.
 Bitcoin Halving- The bitcoin halving is a period when the price of bitcoin goes high, due to it's scarcity because of the drastical removal of bitcoin in a block. And it happens every years and many people are not aware of this ongoing in the crypto space, the previous halving was in (2020) and the next halving is forthcoming  so now is the best time to purchase and hodl btc because it could go beyond the price it attained in the last halving which was about $60k and In my opinion I think it might go beyond $100k. https://www.investopedia.com/bitcoin-halving-4843769

 This forthcoming halving is very important very important because at this period the price of bitcoin affects most other cryptocurrencies in the market, so now is the best and perfect time to buy and hodl cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin and make profits when it becomes more scarce thereby making it's value to go High.
 You can share your ideas and opinions if you know more about the bitcoin halving and for the procrastinators, it's better late than never.

I love the thread title you created, Don't delay buying bitcoins to prepare for the halving, great advice. even though the halving is still a long way off and there is still a lot of drama that will occur before the halving, in essence, we shouldn't panic. Keep doing the DCA strategy because I think this is the mainstay strategy.

Keep remembering the main keyword in managing finances, set aside 10% of our income for DCA. It means we are ready to lose with that 10%. If we get it, that's the result of our efforts, even if there is a price reduction, we are ready with the 10% money earlier. Keep the spirit friends to prepare for the halving and don't invest in bitcoin using borrowed money.

FUD at its finest in other terms.

We can't blame them though, especially if it is their first time of investing in cryptocurrency. Most of them thinks that if they invested their money in Bitcoin, they can make profits all of the time, then they've seen red candles and huge dumps so they've hesitate to invest their money in Bitcoin. So in the end, bitcoin pumped up and they were left hanging, regrets came after.

I think it is a little bit too early to hype the "Halving"  .... because it is only scheduled to happen next year around April. Yes, the impact of the "Halving" can be seen about one or two months before the actual "Halving", because the markets reacts before the actual event... but it is still too far in the future.

In any way... in my experience with the "Halving" ... I can honestly say that it has very little impact on the price. It will increase in the first two months before the event, when the media coverage highlight it.... and then it is gone.   

Procrastination is not the only reason why some of us are not buying BTC. Some persons actually want to buy but don't currently have the funds to do so.
