    I find investors using the DCA strategy invest for the long term.
    Special Considerations Should Beginners Follow the DCA Method for Bitcoin Investments? What Can Be the Outcome -Future
    Yes as a beginner it is %100 save to start investing with bitcoin when you have your discretionary income because without that you cannot begin or proceed with your investment plan because the dca strategy is less stressful for them to start with it allows little by little investment for which involves daily,weekly or even monthly according to the provision of the funds available with you, it helps you stabilize your investment and your personal expenses. DCA strategy gives you that strength to be able to continue investment for a long term in as much as it is your discretionary income your are investing with you will be successful.

    What do you mean by 100% safe to invest in bitcoin?

    How do you know that?

    I would suggest that if a person who is planning to invest in bitcoin knows that he has discretionary funds available to invest in bitcoin, then as long as he does not use leverage, then the most that he might end up losing is 100% of the amount that he had ended up putting into bitcoin.

    Therefore, when a person chooses to invest into bitcoin, they should not invest more than they are willing to lose... and so then they can choose from within their discretionary funds how much of that value that they are willing to put into bitcoin as compared with other places that they could put the money, such as to invest in other assets and/or save and/or consume with such money that they had chosen to put into bitcoin.  

    Accordingly, the investors into bitcoin are choosing the amount that they put in, and hopefully the amount that they choose to put in is an amount that they don't need for expenses and that they would not be wanting to touch for 4-10 years or longer.., including that there is a possibility that their investment could end up going down to zero.

    At the same time, bitcoin remains an asymmetric bet to the upside, so even if a person could lose 100%, they could also end up experiencing gains in value that are greater than any other place that they could put their time, energies and value.  Allocations into bitcoin have to be weighed, and surely bitcoin is not 100% safe, as Bigjoe33 suggested there are both execution risks and there are risks in the asset itself... so presuming bitcoin to be 100% risk-free comes off as quite a fantastical assertion.
    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

    As intermediate beginner (this is how I measure myself, and I will be never a trader), I agree with that approach. I have learned during my learning phase the rule of 72.
    This rule helps bitcoin savers to estimate how long they need to double they investment.

    That information was even forgotten by me to be added in my compilation 'A Bitcoin (Mini)-Guide'. I just added it for V6.0 Smiley

    Here how its looks like:


    I quoted your post so that your image would be visible, and sure there is nothing wrong with having rough frameworks in regards to considering various values of assets at various times in the future, and of course, with the bitcoin/dollar pair, we also have been experiencing quite considerable debasement of the dollar in recent times (especially since 2020), so in that regard, we would hope that the appreciation of bitcoin will tend to out pace the dollar's debasement.. and surely BTC spot prices in mid-2020 were around $9k and its 200-WMA was around $6k.... Now the spot price is around $82k (9x higher) and the 200-WMA is just below $58k (about 10x higher).

    Since bitcoin tends to be quite volatile, I personally appreciate the 200-WMA as a means to valuate bitcoin since it tends to represent bitcoin bottom prices, even though there was an extended period of time that bitcoin was at or below the 200-WMA between June 2022 and October 2023 (16-ish months).

    In spite of some of bitcoin's recent negative price moves, there is nothing really about bitcoin to establish that bitcoin's investment thesis is getting weaker with the passage of time, even if there could be some recent bitcoin manipulation to the downside that is attempting to help the some segments of the status quo rich to fill their bags.

    Yea, you are right, and to me, Bitcoin is just a volatile assets, and yea, that's just it. Rte movements are just it's volatility. There is no strong evidence to prove the weak nature as time goes by. Of course, it can Dip, a decline that might seem too heavy, but over time, it also appreciates. So I look at it form the volatile angle and nothing more, it's always up and down, but has done enough to go up and to be trusted.

    Looking at bitcoin 5-10 years ago, you would see clearly that it's appreciating nature so many times overturns the depreciation. When it appreciates, it's always greater and higher, setting an ATH record in the market. Sincerely, it has proven itself over the years to be store of value. I think the downturn of price should be an opportunity for investors to grab more BTC to there portfolio, nothing wavering, no slacking, but continuous buys, and HODL..

    DCA is for everyone, and I feel like most people already know about DCA, and the only challenge is that the majority will not be committed because when it comes to money, most people are scared of investing. After all, they are scared of the risk and the fact that they will be keeping their money for a very long time. And they don't know that the only thing to keep their money safe is for them to hold it for a very long time. That is the purpose of the DCA, and when it comes to advice, it is not only for newbies but for everyone, because there are times like this that things like this will reset your memory back, and you know exactly what to do because most times things like this are what we need because aside from saying DCA, most people are not even practicing, but everyone has their choice, but knowledge is power.

    One thing I have also noticed and will take it as a form of advice to everyone else that is planning of going into DCA approach is to have a well thought out plan and strategy to it, because the DCA approach is yet the best approach towards investment when it comes to the advocacy of investing small to get big returns, but the problem most of us have is not lack of knowledge of the DCA which has become very popular among many investors in the industry but the problem most people are faced with is the issue of consistency which is affected mainly due to lack of proper planning and strategy, when you do not understand how best to plan your investment strategy and portfolio, you have issues with remaining consistent with your investments and for many reasons, you will not be able to achieve your desired results due to lack of poor planning despite relying on the DCA approach for your portfolio.

    For the benefit of those who are finding it difficult to maintain consistency which I trust without a proper planning strategy can be hardly achieved, we need to give practical advice, guidance and possibly schooling to ourselves on this platform for many more people here to learn and have a greater insight on how they can best plan their strategy for the sake of consistency.

    I am thinking about the famous gold market sentiment that many people thought that gold prices would only continue to rise with minor corrections but I can explain the significant price correction at the end of the month differently. The dollar decline last year has continued this year so investors have been buying gold compared to fiat accumulation.
    A few weeks of declining gold prices could break the confidence of investors in the metal. As their sentiment becomes more intense, they will increase their investment in Bitcoin. Bitcoin may be manipulated in the current market but trust me Bitcoin will soon surpass its previous ATH.

    Volatility of Bitcoin makes it rewarding and also make it so risky especially if they are looking for quick gains. That quick dips may look scary at first glance, but if we look at history it shows that each cycle Bitcoin will hit its new high. For several decades we witness several pumps happened on Bitcoin and this outweigh the past declines happen. This good pumps prove the the dominance or strength of Bitcoin as a store value asset.

    This is the reason why those declines is not automatically a losing state for investors, This are good opportunities to accumulate especially for investor believes that Bitcoin is good long term investment asset. Choosing to HOLD it for long years whatever condition of the market occurs  proven pays off, if we base it on past situations happen on history of Bitcoin.

    What do you mean by 100% safe to invest in bitcoin?

    How do you know that?

    I would suggest that if a person who is planning to invest in bitcoin knows that he has discretionary funds available to invest in bitcoin, then as long as he does not use leverage, then the most that he might end up losing is 100% of the amount that he had ended up putting into bitcoin.

    Therefore, when a person chooses to invest into bitcoin, they should not invest more than they are willing to lose... and so then they can choose from within their discretionary funds how much of that value that they are willing to put into bitcoin as compared with other places that they could put the money, such as to invest in other assets and/or save and/or consume with such money that they had chosen to put into bitcoin.  

    Accordingly, the investors into bitcoin are choosing the amount that they put in, and hopefully the amount that they choose to put in is an amount that they don't need for expenses and that they would not be wanting to touch for 4-10 years or longer.., including that there is a possibility that their investment could end up going down to zero.

    At the same time, bitcoin remains an asymmetric bet to the upside, so even if a person could lose 100%, they could also end up experiencing gains in value that are greater than any other place that they could put their time, energies and value.  Allocations into bitcoin have to be weighed, and surely bitcoin is not 100% safe, as Bigjoe33 suggested there are both execution risks and there are risks in the asset itself... so presuming bitcoin to be 100% risk-free comes off as quite a fantastical assertion.
    Yes you are right. It's is delusional for people to think that bitcoin is 100% safe. Though Bitcoin stands out when compared to other investment as of now, but even at that the future of bitcoin is not guaranteed, we can't call it risk free even though bitcoin did extremely just well in the past.

    Bearing this in mind, people are supposed to responsibly invest, by using the money that can be afforded to lose.

    I find investors using the DCA strategy invest for the long term.
    Special Considerations Should Beginners Follow the DCA Method for Bitcoin Investments? What Can Be the Outcome -Future
    Yes as a beginner it is %100 save to start investing with bitcoin when you have your discretionary income because without that you cannot begin or proceed with your investment plan because the dca strategy is less stressful for them to start with it allows little by little investment for which involves daily,weekly or even monthly according to the provision of the funds available with you, it helps you stabilize your investment and your personal expenses. DCA strategy gives you that strength to be able to continue investment for a long term in as much as it is your discretionary income your are investing with you will be successful.

    There is risk in investing in bitcoin, for this it is wise to invest what we can afford to lose and not money that is meant for our daily needs.

    Volatility of Bitcoin makes it rewarding and also make it so risky especially if they are looking for quick gains. That quick dips may look scary at first glance, but if we look at history it shows that each cycle Bitcoin will hit its new high. For several decades we witness several pumps happened on Bitcoin and this outweigh the past declines happen. This good pumps prove the the dominance or strength of Bitcoin as a store value asset.

    This is the reason why those declines is not automatically a losing state for investors, This are good opportunities to accumulate especially for investor believes that Bitcoin is good long term investment asset. Choosing to HOLD it for long years whatever condition of the market occurs  proven pays off, if we base it on past situations happen on history of Bitcoin.
    Anyone who is investing in bitcoin must have it at the back of their mind that it's a volatile asset that requires patience to hodl for a long time because if they invest only with the idea that it will continue to rise, when it DIPs they will begin to shake as though it won't rise back again but overtime we have witnessed the price fall even more intense but it still recovered and crossed many ATHs so anyone who is wise should know that DIPs are not a bad time but a time to increase their profits in the future by buying the DIPs and hold for a long term investment goal.

    It is not as if people don't know Bitcoin is a volatile asset, but it is as if they lose their minds the moment they invest in Bitcoin, maybe because of expectations of profit. When you talk about the volatility of Bitcoin and when you buy Bitcoin and invest in it and experience the volatility of Bitcoin, these are two different things. It takes patience and a good understanding for one not to panic when investing in Bitcoin.

    Most people who know about the volatility of Bitcoin some of the problems they normally have are expectations, timing their investments, and not having proper plans for the funds that are supposed to be invested. To achieve a successful investment in Bitcoin, one just needs to have understanding, the right mindset about Bitcoin, and to make a good plan when it comes to money. This helps in not having high expectations of making a profit in a specific time, and it also builds patience.

    Sure the idea of 100% safe does not apply to any investment, including Bitcoin's...Just coz Bitcoin was highly profitable in th past does not mean that such performance will repeat itself... There is risk in investing in Bitcoin, it cannot be avoided only managed. And some of the ways of managing this risk includes: Investing with your discretionary income, investing based on your financial capacity, having backup when investing, investing with a plan and a long term mindset etc....

    Since bitcoin tends to be quite volatile, I personally appreciate the 200-WMA as a means to valuate bitcoin since it tends to represent bitcoin bottom prices, even though there was an extended period of time that bitcoin was at or below the 200-WMA between June 2022 and October 2023 (16-ish months).

    In spite of some of bitcoin's recent negative price moves, there is nothing really about bitcoin to establish that bitcoin's investment thesis is getting weaker with the passage of time, even if there could be some recent bitcoin manipulation to the downside that is attempting to help the some segments of the status quo rich to fill their bags.
    Yea, you are right, and to me, Bitcoin is just a volatile assets, and yea, that's just it. Rte movements are just it's volatility. There is no strong evidence to prove the weak nature as time goes by. Of course, it can Dip, a decline that might seem too heavy, but over time, it also appreciates. So I look at it form the volatile angle and nothing more, it's always up and down, but has done enough to go up and to be trusted.

    Looking at bitcoin 5-10 years ago, you would see clearly that it's appreciating nature so many times overturns the depreciation. When it appreciates, it's always greater and higher, setting an ATH record in the market. Sincerely, it has proven itself over the years to be store of value. I think the downturn of price should be an opportunity for investors to grab more BTC to there portfolio, nothing wavering, no slacking, but continuous buys, and HODL..

    You are not going to get any arguments from me about bitcoin's volatility, and likely one of the most inevitable things about bitcoin is its volatility, and there are also ongoing battles going on in regards to the role and/or existence of bitcoin.

    We can be bullish or skeptical about bitcoin, and we can take a stake in bitcoin in accordance with our conviction regards to our beliefs about bitcoin, and historically it has been quite problematic to not get off of zero in regards to allocating into bitcoin. Bitcoin's investment thesis does not seem to be getting any weaker with the passage of time, even if the steepness of its UPpity curve might be becoming less steep.
    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

    Its volatile movement is important part of Bitcoin dynamics, also it creates wide opportunities. Despite of those pumps and dumps happening, Bitcoin remain to be a great asset to hold for long years.

    Also deciding to ignore it and continue to have less exposure on Bitcoin because they are skeptic dudes will be the reason why they missed out lots of opportunity to get by investing on Bitcoin. Those doubts will not bring something great to them, since they provably regret those decision not to allocate some amount the same as what happen to other people from the past. Bitcoin scarcity and its decentralized nature still not change. Although the growth is not much explosive nowadays, but this usually happen when adoption became wider and this asset matures more.

    surely newbies that has good orientation can navigate or develop thicker skin when it comes to understanding the market ups and downs and of course experience of the market will speaks much louder than never being in the market, newbies are vulnerable to panicking compared to those who has already gained experience about the market, newbies and experience investors will definitely have different levels of doubts and conviction and while anyone should only invest within their own level conviction and confidence which can increase with time.
    This is why it is important for newbies to start small to get very familiar with the market and to understand it better. Because that doubt, expectation, fear are always their in newbies which make them go about bitcoin investment in the wrong way. Starting small will help newbies to understand better and to invest in Bitcoin like those who are familiar with the market. Newbies are always expected to do otherwise when it comes to Bitcoin but their is a way they will go about they can easily understand and get used to invest Bitcoin and to hodl it.
    You correct with this, another importance of starting with something small is that newbies may still be learning when they start and because they are still clueless on some things, they sometimes fuck everything up and do things the wrong.

    It is better to make those mistakes with  small money than lose big money because they are not yet perfect.

    And overtime the time when their understanding improves then they can  begin to scale up the money they invest.

    DCA has always been the best advised strategy for not just newbies but for almost everyone who wants to invest in Bitcoin without feeling the price impact too much. Even if the price is dropping, it's safer that way, and you can just be buying with the little money that the person has left from his spending schedule, or better still, make a budget for it and take your time to buy in installments.

    Yes the DCA method can inspire newbies to invest in Bitcoin but it has to do with whether a newbie or newbies know how this strategy works and how to apply it, once a newbie or newbies are conversant with this strategy of investing in Bitcoin, it becomes very easy for them to invest, after all this strategy has no stress or pressure attached to it and i think no newbie wants to be pressured, have we ever thought of why some newbies have the mindset of waiting for no reason, I think it is because some of them do not have a good understanding of this strategy called DCA, I do not think that a newbie that understands that he can invest with any amount despite how small, will want to wait until he has enough money to invest which might deprive him the opportunity to invest if care is no taking.

    Yes the DCA method can inspire newbies to invest in Bitcoin but it has to do with whether a newbie or newbies know how this strategy works and how to apply it, once a newbie or newbies are conversant with this strategy of investing in Bitcoin, it becomes very easy for them to invest, after all this strategy has no stress or pressure attached to it and i think no newbie wants to be pressured, have we ever thought of why some newbies have the mindset of waiting for no reason, I think it is because some of them do not have a good understanding of this strategy called DCA, I do not think that a newbie that understands that he can invest with any amount despite how small, will want to wait until he has enough money to invest which might deprive him the opportunity to invest if care is no taking.
    DCA method of accumulating bitcoin is simple to apply where the problem lies is figuring out your discretionary income and use the right amount of money from your discretionary that can enable continue buying regularly weekly/monthly. Because if a new investor already have a discretionary income and use the right amount to buy, he is only to keep his bitcoin accumulation ongoing with persistent and consistent for 4-10 years and above which selling a dime.

    It's buying the dip and lump sum that can be difficult for new investors to use because he lacks the experience of the market. This is why brand new investors should only focus on DCA for the first circle.

    surely newbies that has good orientation can navigate or develop thicker skin when it comes to understanding the market ups and downs and of course experience of the market will speaks much louder than never being in the market, newbies are vulnerable to panicking compared to those who has already gained experience about the market, newbies and experience investors will definitely have different levels of doubts and conviction and while anyone should only invest within their own level conviction and confidence which can increase with time.
    This is why it is important for newbies to start small to get very familiar with the market and to understand it better. Because that doubt, expectation, fear are always their in newbies which make them go about bitcoin investment in the wrong way. Starting small will help newbies to understand better and to invest in Bitcoin like those who are familiar with the market. Newbies are always expected to do otherwise when it comes to Bitcoin but their is a way they will go about they can easily understand and get used to invest Bitcoin and to hodl it.
    You correct with this, another importance of starting with something small is that newbies may still be learning when they start and because they are still clueless on some things, they sometimes fuck everything up and do things the wrong.

    It is better to make those mistakes with  small money than lose big money because they are not yet perfect.

    And overtime the time when their understanding improves then they can  begin to scale up the money they invest.

    The feeling is different when you have gotten off from being a no coiner to a coiner, starting small makes you to get off the zero coiner zone and become a coiner, of course the doubt of a newbie should reflect to their level of position sizing which is better than not investing, time and experience is also a teacher we can never compared those who has started with as little as they can and those who has not while trying to plan everything perfectly, there is no need getting sacred of making mistakes instead,  be deligent and let any mistake become a better version of yourself.

    DCA has always been the best advised strategy for not just newbies but for almost everyone who wants to invest in Bitcoin without feeling the price impact too much. Even if the price is dropping, it's safer that way, and you can just be buying with the little money that the person has left from his spending schedule, or better still, make a budget for it and take your time to buy in installments.
    True talk. DCA do make sense, especially for Bitcoin.
    It removes that pressure of did I buy at the top?  and help person stay consistent no matter what price is doing.. When price is dropping, you will buy cheaper, and when it is rising, you still will be accumulating.. There is no stress and need for panic..

    Using leftover money or setting clear budget is the smart move..  it do help people invest without touching important money for rent, food and other things. With time, those small DCA will be meaningful.
