Well, you may be right, but everyone has their priority. Someone who can barely feed himself will not be thinking about investment, his primary need is food.
So, you assertion about investing with savings is only true if you have enough to spare after meeting your primary needs.

And you don't need to force yourself to invest, if you think you're not capable enough to invest or put your assets at stake then don't risk it. I mean you could start by investing at yourself first, gain knowledge and study the techniques then you could apply those with starting in a small amount so if the time comes that you already have the money to invest, then you are already ready. For sure those who have a lot of needs in life thinking about investment, but due to financial need they are more focus on finding a source of money than studying the investment. Also crypto needed to be connected in gadgets since it's digital plus the internet so there's a lot of thing you need to consider before investing.

For sure there are members responding in this thread in regards to a variety of reasons why they might not invest into bitcoin, or making comments about how sure that they believe the BTC price is going to have significant upwards pressures upon it from the halvening that will have good chances of having the BTC price go up significantly within a period of time after the halvening such as up to around a year afterwards.

We likely realize that there are plenty of people who are not sufficiently convinced that the risk to their losing their money is worth the possible upside potential, so if they are not taking actual actions in regards to investing into bitcoin, then they are not procrastinating, even though at a later date they might end up changing their mind merely based on witnessing BTC prices going up rather than having had gotten any kind of greater education of bitcoin as investible asset.

There are a lot of ways that normies procrastinate, including failing/refusing to research into some ideas that they have heard about and maybe they know that they should do a bit of research.. but they procrastinate getting started in to their research, and they also may procrastinate about getting their finances in sufficient order in order that they know about their budget (such as how much free cash that they might have or be able  to have, in order to be able to invest into something new like bitcoin).  Some people have such lack of clarity about their own finances that they cannot even determine if they might be able to invest $10 per week into bitcoin, let alone a more aggressive investment of $100 per week, and surely they cannot even attempt to be more aggressive with their investment into bitcoin or into anything else, unless they figure out enough of their specifics in order to know how much spare money that they have on a weekly or monthly basis.... so some of these people fail/refuse to invest into anything (maybe they have bought residential property or they have a 401k plan?) because they are not sufficiently in touch with their own cashflow or even maybe having enough of a cash reserve that does not continue to end up being depleted into because they may well be spending more than their income allows. so there are many (if not too many) people who might live on the edge due to their own sloppiness rather the fact that they don't have enough income.

Of course, as some members mentioned, there are likely some people who do not have enough cashflow, and it is not even because they are not trying to increase their cashflow, but they are having difficulties in terms of increasing their cashflow in order that they might be able to invest into bitcoin (or any other investment).

Even once any of us might have had gotten our shit together sufficiently enough that we are ready, willing and able to invest into something like bitcoin, we still might thereafter have to figure out how to source our bitcoin - such as getting them on some kind of an exchange, in the event that we are able to set something like that up in our jurisdiction or if we are able to figure out reputable other sources to purchase our bitcoin.... sometimes even if someone we know might have given us a recommendation, we might either feel uncomfortable with the recommendation or feel that we need to research more into that specific recommendation as compared with other options regarding ways that we might purchase BTC.

I do like the topic of this thread because it does potentially touch upon a lot of issues that people have, including some of their reservations and reluctancies that come up from time to time, and sometimes their behavior might be described as procrastination.. especially if they are putting off something that they already realize that they should do.. but sometimes they might not be in a position to do the thing that some of us bitcoin HODLers might believe that they need to do, because first they would likely have to do some other things (whether research or getting their finances in order or other things) in order to actually set themselves up into a position that they would actually be able to act upon something like positive beliefs about bitcoin that they might have.... but they are not quite to the place that they are actually ready, willing and able to act. and they sometimes might not even realize why they are not able to act.   

Sometimes I tell people to just get the fuck started.   Some people have some obstacles in their head that if they are going to invest into something that they need to invest a decent amount, otherwise it is not going to matter... which sure there is some correctness in that, but if they keep considering that they have to come up with $1k or $2k or some higher amount to get started, then they will never start because they are not going to be able to do enough homework in order to get a place to get started, so getting off zero likely has more likelihood of happening if the newbie nocoiner (or low coiner) just starts out really small (such as $10 per week), and then even if they do not get to a more preferable amount (such as $100 per week), at least their having had started to invest $10 per week will get them motivated to research into the bitcoin matter or to pay more attention to bitcoin-related matters - and surely the vast majority of people are not even ready to take some action.. but starting out small should make it a lot easier for people, even though many of us who are already in bitcoin realize that we are still in very early days to bitcoin, and it is likely going to take a pretty long time for people to come into bitcoin and the longer they wait, the more likely that they are just going to be paying way higher prices than the current prices, even if they are able to buy on dips later down the road.

I definitely agree with your statement.

Even if the halving is slowly coming, this should not be a reason to disregard the basic rules of investment. If you do not have sufficient resources in order to purchase BTCs as of the moment, never take out a loan to proceed your investment. A risk in itself should not create further risks.

In order to maximize this event, it is recommended that a person should allocate and budget their resources for investments entirely. Like what OP mentioned, avoid procrastinating and investing at the last hour- this is something that should be well-prepared and saved.

Yes what you said is correct and also if someone is Procrastination himself to buy bitcoin in the dip, there are some other factors that the person is considering or facing. Family load, financial issue,  and also the basic knowledge of the person about bitcoin. Because if one does not have the basic knowledge on bitcoin, he has to learn to know more before buying. So with that, he will be Procrastinating to buy bitcoin at all the times. There are some times that the person might have money but family bills would consumed them all so he would postpone it to the next time that he will have money and that is how Procrastination starts.

You mean it? Well, some people can agree with you, but I don't, and you know why? because you yourself spend over $15 or $20 in a week (even if not in 7 days, before every 9th day is over, you can spend more than $20). Yeah, I think so. Some people are spending even $40, $80, or $100 or $200 in a week, but they have not invested in Bitcoin, not because they don't like it but because of procrastination. They will say to themselves, "I will invest next week," and if that next week comes, then they will give another excuse: "Oh, this money is not enough; I will invest if I receive my salary by ending of the month." That is how it continues with a lot of people until they end up not Investing.

Bitcoin is the simplest investment, with a DCA strategy. Even if you don't have enough money to save, you can decide to save $2.5 for every $20 you spend In a week. $2.5 X 4 weeks = $10. If you form the habit of investing $10 every month X 12 months in a year, that's $120. Although it's small, but it's good to always start somewhere rather than procrastinate every time, while you are spending money every day to buy some other stuffs.

Imagine someone who spends $100 every week and saves at least $20 each week to invest in Bitcoin; that's an investment of $80 into Bitcoin every month. It wouldn't be a bad investment. It's better than not Investing at all. Although no one is to be compelled to invest in Bitcoin, but I'm speaking of those who have full interest in Bitcoin but are making excuses (procrastinating). Even on some platforms, you can buy as little as $5 worth of Bitcoin. You don't really need $100, $500 or $1000 before you can invest into Bitcoin.



Cheers 🥂, Dr.Bitcoin_Strange 👺👺

Actually, we've had a few members here, mostly newbies, who claimed to have borrowed money or taken a loan in order to purchase Bitcoin. It's still unclear if their story is valid or if it was an attempt to seek attention, but despite what it truly was, I'm positive that there are members who actually went ahead and invested with borrowed money. I'm curious to know how it turned out for those people. While I understand and admire their enthusiasm about Bitcoin investing, I find the whole argument extremely risky and reckless. There's a great chance these people lost their money.

I fully get that the halving is due to happen and people are both frustrated and enthusiastic about it, but that's no excuse to disregard basic common knowledge; this shouldn't even be investment advice that you must not spend money that you don't have and can't afford to lose.

Yea, I was only responding to the OP who said that procrastination is the reason why some people are not taking advantage of the next Bitcoin halving to buy now.

And true, the first investment should be on yourself, gain enough knowledge so you can make informed decisions.
