some sacrifices have to be made

Honestly, maybe we will also feel a little afraid about the price will fall again. However, with the DCA method, we can also be more free to buy again when the price falls again.

There must be courage to start moving, otherwise we will not be able to move to any stage in life. However, that courage must also be based on broad knowledge, so that it does not look like gambling.

It's gambling already and we must be able to know and understand this from the very moment we step into investments. We don't have to feel that reluctant while investing because we know that whatever amount we invest is something we can afford to lose, therefore it's extremely important to use the amount subjected to lose so that we don't feels we have lost money while doing investments and it must be on the coins we have that trust in other not to be afraid of our investment.

Well, without knowledge, what we do will turn into something that looks like gambling. Don't let us become people like that, meaning don't let us do something without a basis of knowledge.

We can also see from what other people experience, it will make us more organized. It will also make us stronger, because when we make knowledge and experience psychologically we will also be calmer.

Investment is not a gamble, it's a risk.
One that can be calculated to a smaller or bigger degree.
That is what differs them.

I will not buy when the market is at its peak because I have been here long enough to sense the peak season but even if I do it doesn't affect me much cause I am not that heavy of buy dip and sell high. I am retail investor so I just try to accumulate as much coins which also doesn't mean I will never sell either like people who bought it in 2011 and holding it still irrespective of the price reaches 100K.

I am quite curious about how you can identify the peak of a cycle: through technical indicators or market sentiment? We all know that BTC price fluctuates in a 4-year cycle, if you can sell at the peak, you can buy back more BTC at the bottom, and you will accumulate more BTC after each cycle.

I am a cycle investor so I am waiting for the price increase of BTC due to the supply crisis. Spot ETFs have absorbed BTC from OTC, and the amount of BTC available on CEXs is also depleting. When the demand for BTC suddenly increases due to many economic and political reasons, a price increase will certainly occur and I will wait for BTC at $150K-170K.

Almost everyone knows that the year 2025 is going to be the next new ATH for BTC so we know the year and it's not possible to find the exact peak but there are some signs before the market hits pretty hard which is nothing but everyone you see from mainstream media, social media celebs will be bullish about bitcoin and that's the time to hold back cause this is the strategy used by the whales to dump the market.

No investors or traders that goes into investments without the pre-knowledge of what they are doing because it's important to have the basic knowledge of their investments to enable them be able to withstand any market forces.
There are people today that goes into something without the clue of how it works operated before jumping into it.

maybe because all they hear is getting money and they immediately think that it would be easy i certainly do not think that way now investing no matter the time period consists many factors that you have to consider to make sure that you can minimize the losses and maximize the profit that you will be making

and even the most knowledgeable investors can still second guess themselves and have some doubts but that has more to do with psychological factors that an investor has to consider as well

They would be punished for doing so heavily.
Market and its ways are the best teachers for that matter.

When you are trying out to make out some investment or doing up some business then it will really be that recommended you are making up some research or any other relevant things on which you would really be needing up to do to increase up that probability on making profits or success with business. Sacrifices are needed up to consider on which it will really be needing up to consider out because you are the ones will really be seeing whether it is really that viable action that needs up to consider.So it will really be that up to on how to make out adjustments into the actions that you are needing up to take. You cant just that make yourself having such ignoring about into the factors that could affect out success rate.

Psychologically we shouldn't feels that overwhelmed with what we think within our mindset or even harboring in your mind toward making investments and often, I observed that to be greed because we can't control the state of our mind which could leads us to not taking proper precaution of our gambling activities neither do we carry out proper analysis toward every investment we are making than entirely relying on our Psychologically state of mind.

That's what I mean, now there are so many people who jump into the world of investment or trading without knowing what they are actually doing. They just see other people's success, then they try it.

They should have found out what they were actually going to do in its entirety at the beginning. But it's not too late for them to learn even if they take the wrong steps at the beginning.

Investment is not a gamble, it's a risk.
One that can be calculated to a smaller or bigger degree.
That is what differs them.

Of course and it's totally different from gambling to be honest with you. Gambling requires luck to win but investment you need patience, knowledge, fundamentals, technical analysis you name it I mean you work for it because it will give you gains if done correctly while gambling itself doesn't need those things because it is purely based on luck.

Depending on how you use gambling, if you play a game like Slots it is indeed entirely up to luck.
But if you do sports betting you can do research according to that data and you can determine which team will win, lose or draw.

Again with the discussion of trading, trading can also be considered like gambling if you trade only based on instinct or feeling, without knowing the basic knowledge of trading.
As in futures trading or Binary Options trading which is completely the same as gambling.

These sets of people can incur much lose because they solely rely on other people success stories and jumps into invest, usually it's actually bad to go into investments without having the pre knowledge of they are doing.
Every investors must know the reason for their investments before going into that investment, if not properly studied it could leads to several losses. As I know it's important to know what they investing than just investing due to the success stories they had from other people.

Yes, the difference is that investment is a manageable risk, and how big the risk will depend on each investor who does it. Even with the same coin, each investor has their own risk. Because sometimes a person's strategy in choosing the time to invest, then the moment to take profits, and also how they manage their emotions and mentality, this also affects their risk management. and there are still many more conditions that allow each person to invest wisely enough for themselves.
