^ IMO people need to wisen up with the idea of keep holding BTC forever, and the expectation of having better price next time, as this might not make them enjoy the fruits of their holding.
Better idea may be to sell btc on time when you feel it's top, convert it to usdt, buy again on bottom, thus you hold same number of BTC and have extra USDT for your spending. I know easier said than done.
sell on time!, maybe this is the obstacle for everyone, because we don't know when the right time is and the greedy and dissatisfied human nature is very dominant, so I think it's better to set a target price for how much we will sell our BTC later,
We don't know when the right time to sell is, so we have to have a plan when investing and determine a sales target. That's the function of analysis in investing so that we can make accurate predictions. Although sometimes we also make wrong predictions.
The risk is always there. Even with BTC.
That's why we should use the funds we are okay to spend / freeze for the time being.
Everything has risk, and with that, we should really start very slow in beginning. Some of us might have not the money initially to invest and we can't afford to lose that money.
But as we can along, we understand the risk and so is the ins and outs, and so we find strategy like DCA and continue to accumulate. Others trade or they could have other means of income and so they invest it too in Bitcoin and let it grow and for some they might have forgotten their investments and when they go back, they have profited huge money already.
Totally agree, bro! Beginners are encouraged to go slow since it will take time before they invest large amounts of money, that they cannot afford to lose. Certainly, there is always a risk, especially when dealing with cryptocurrencies, which are so unpredictable, so before jumping into it, it’s crucial to know the risks you might face. I believe many people are afraid at first, and gradually they discover solutions such as the DCA method, which is less risky and more accurate.
I also observe multiple people diversifying, whether it is through trading or investing, at the same time allowing their money to compound in bitcoin. Indeed, there were instances where people never recalled that they even invested in the first place and when they logged into the account again they realized the worth was much higher! The two main points that allow growth and that should be adhered to, are consistency and the fact that one should be wise when spending money. With time one is able to find the right beat of which to maximize on profits without much concern on risk.
