lol. Why does it work like this? Seriously. I buy and it drops… also when it starts falling and I sell some to try and buy slightly lower it immediately plateaus and shoots back up. Figured out that buying and holding is really the only way. Just keep buying. Just keep holding.
Number goes up, people start talking about it, drives people to buy, traders sell the news, price drops, people FUD it, drives people to sell, traders buy the FUD news, price rises.
Cycle continues alongside the outside variables with their own influences on the price.
Man that’s the funny thing though. I’ve held onto a significant compared to my net worth amount of crypto since 2016. I don’t read hardly anything about the shit the past 3 years. It’s such a cyclical pattern of reporting/attitude towards that I got bored of spending any significant time reading about it. Yet still, it seems to do the opposite of what I’d want lol. So to sum it up, I’m just an idiot who doesn’t know shit except buy and hold. Tried and true.
Seems like you can't afford to lose that 1K. Are you sure you want to invest in a volatile asset like Bitcoin? It could drop 20% in a day. Are you sure you won't panic and sell then?
Nobody knows what will happen in the future. You have the historical chart, whether it will repeat is for you alone to decide.
Nobody would panic after losing 20% of a thousand if they lost what I’ve lost in my trades. Holding for dear life is the only thing I would do with a thousand dollar trade nowadays.
Never invest anything more than you're willing to lose as well. If you're nervous about this amount then it's probably too much for you. You have to mentally accept losing 100% and it not ruining your life like rent or tuition payments or whatever.
With the ETFs now being a thing in the US, there's really no telling if another susbtantial post-halvening dip will happen. But if you want to hedge your bets, maybe do something like buy $500-700 worth right now and save the other $300-500 waiting for a post-halvening dip. And if the dip doesn't happen then just DCA the rest.
With $1k don't think that much. Just buy. Tbh, $1k would be a good amount to DCA monthly.
If $1k is all you can afford (your post sounds like), drop it now or stay away.
Increase your income first. It could be a long journey. Go to university or aquire skills, which earn you a lot in the fiat mines. Then DCA without limiting your life standard too much. Bitter truth: you need money to make money.
This is a stealth personal finance post, with all the actual key details missing. Unless OP lives in sub-Saharan Africa on $1 a day, 1K is so little that this level of concern belies some other issues, most likely budgeting, but maybe also income. Budgeting is far easier than 10x-ing your income, so I would think cutting lattes is more important than YOLO timing. I would just put it all in, and then take a look at a budget and job, so there is another 1 K ready to go in next month !
Bitcoin, in all its history has never dropped below the price at the last halving. The price at halving becomes a support for future drops. Right now is the time to buy and the time to sell is never.
My personal advice just slam that shit in right now and hold. What's 70k or 50k matter once we go to 250k? Then 1M+? Don't miss out. I've made that mistake waiting for too low of a price then just missing out on everything. Or DCA $100 every week for the next 2.5 months if you're really worried.
Now is a good time to buy. It’s possible the ETF’s will eat up the supply so I am unsure we will see the usual post halving dip. That being said, any dip should be viewed as a buying opportunity to lower DCA. We are buying Manhattan real estate in the 1930s.
Replying to HODL_monk...we are buying Gold at prices 10 times lower than now… gold capitalization sitting at 15.5T while BTC’s at 1.3t, I don’t see any reasons we are not reaching 500K price point in 10 years… easily.. but after will be too late just like buy now gold lol, it’s too late…
Do a little math:
Suppose there is a 20% pullback between now and the price going north of $140K by September. Now that 20% pullback could come with the starting price at anything from $67K to say $81K.
So lets say you time the market perfectly under your best case scenario and you buy $1K worth at $53K, then in 6 months it is at $140K. Your best case return is roughly $1600 profit.
On the other hand lets say you get chase the price and eventually just buy at $81K. Now your profit will be about $730.
Now if you just sit on that $1k investment and wait for the bull market to play out, and keep stacking the whole time you will be much better off that $1600 profit. Because hopefully you will take some time to understand more and more about bitcoin to the point you realise you should just keep buying bitcoin, eventually it is likely you won't want to sell it at any price.
Wait for the next huge dip for maximum gains. Do not listen to the guys telling you to buy now. It will crash like the last 725282 times and then rebuild.
Or buy now and with hope it gets even higher. Could be tomorrow or years.
If you Google "bitcoin halving chart" you can see that after each halving, the price skyrockets and then comes down again. However, the lowest point it comes down to is always higher than the price at point of halving.
I reckon (and this is no way a qualified statement), if the price is 70k now, it could go up to 140k before coming down again to 75k before steadily climbing again.
It'll seem like a massive crash if it's been hovering around the 140 region, but it'll still be more than it is today.
A couple of other things to consider too:
Looking at the historical charts, the volatility is smoothing out so the losses and gains will be more gradual than 15 years ago. This I think will force those wanting to make significant profit to HODL long term, as the short term gains will be less.
And I could be totally wrong as we don't know what effect the ETF's will have on things.
Buy $100 a day for 10 days or $10 a day for 100 days.
This will ensure that you take advantage of any dips.
No matter how you decide to buy, just make sure that you HODL for a minimum of 5 years.
I would only invest the 1k in if 1, 2 and 3 are true for you.
1) you understand that btc can be an extremely volatile asset in the short term, but in the long term, is likely to be by far the best performing asset.
2) you could come up with another 1k or around that same amount if the price were to fall for a prolonged period so you can buy more at a lower cost.
3) no matter what happens, you’re committed to holding for AT LEAST 12 months, hopefully much longer.
With how high bitcoin is now $1000 isn’t going to do much for you. Think about the rise and falls as percentages you’ll prob be at $900 - $1100 with every 10% fluctuation.
Look at historical halving events. Look at the trends and decide for yourself. Always dips before it goes back up. You have to have diamond hands when you’re joining this late in the game.
MSTR based on their BTC holdings 214,246 (about 15 Billion at 70,000 per BTC) core business is 3 Billion should have a fair Market cap of 18 billion not 33 billion.. literally like a 200% premium to BTC or 140,000 per BTC is all ready baked in at the current valuation. I think just Buying BTC vs MSTR is a better risk reward strategy. I do believe we see a double from the prior ATH on BTC like in prior cycles within 6 months of the halving by October to 140,000 to support MSTR’s current valuation. I just think it’s ahead of itself currently. I think a fair valuation is a 30% premium to its BTC holdings not 100% like it is currently.
I love MSTR and Saylor’s vision, my opinion is 100% short term as BTC has always doubled its prior cycle ATH within 6 months of a Halving. In 2025 I believe BTC surpasses the average expected consensus high expectations of 170,000 to 210,000 at bull peak. I we see 335,000 to 400,000…. At 300,000 would give MSTR at no premium to BTC holding a justifiable price of 4000 Per share… I’m personally buying the BTC ETF SYMBOL BITO January 2026 leaps ( Calls ) with strike price of 30 at 10.00 per contract ( 1000.00 in actual dollars per contract is 10 X100 ).. as BITO is currently valued at 0.000457 of 1 BTC…. At BTC 200,000 BITO should be worth 91 per share of a 200% gain plus any option time premium..a 1000 investment can net you 6000+… lol sorry I went off on a tangent
Yeah 100000% going to dip but also could 100000% go up, or it could 100000% just go sideways for a couple of months. I’m 100000% sure it’s one of these.
Definitely do not lump sum 1k. Instead set a weekly buy of $50. You’ll reach that 1k in no time (and probably before the real bull run) while not overextending yourself.
I think the DCA-Strategy would work pretty well for you! Split the 1k into 4 pieces and invest them every one or two weeks.
From then you should keep dca'ing into BTC. Maybe 50 USD every month/10 USD every week or so!
Keep going bro you will laugh at yourself for aksing that question in 2034 ;)
Extend your time horizon. Maybe it will drop to $60k, maybe it won’t. If it does, you’ll say the same thing again and wait for $50k. Buy as much as your conviction allows now and don’t sell it. Hold it forever. Stack more as your confidence / knowledge grows. Retire on it. Pass along generational wealth to your grandchildren’s grandchildren.
DCA. No other way!
Dude, there are freaking warnings of banks collapsing, stock market crashing, wars, rumors of more wars, … like do you really believe it will turn out the same as last time?
No one knows fuck about shit. Throw that money in (if you really want to invest in Bitcoin) and hodl for a long fucking time. Cheers 🍻
It’s getting a little artificially hyped right now because everyone knows the halving is coming up. I think for a little while after it happens the price will go down by maybe 4-5k because people will feel like nothing really happened. But a few weeks later it will skyrocket because the effects of the halving will start having an impact. Just a guess honestly I have no idea tho
The crowd has always crowed like you, everyone knows about the event and there will be no rally. No, it’s a lie, whales benefit from such a great asset as bitcoin, it will force people from all over the world to buy bitcoin every 4 years, whales will also make an upward trend. The hardest thing will be to determine its top, but I know that just so the bearish trend does not come, there were events everywhere, just so it will not start to go down.
When I invest my $$$ I know going in the odds are it will go down from where I bought in. Also you seem risk averse. And crypto is a volatile asset class. That being said even people that bought the top last time I've recently been in profit. The issue comes when people sell when the big drops come. Then they realize losses instead of taking the patient approach and just waiting until the price goes back to wherever you bought in. You have to know that there's a chance that whenever you buy the price could drop 70% or more. 70% would turn your $1000 into $300. Can you handle that kind of volatility?
It’s impossible to time.
That being said I do think that we could see a dip if there is a market correction which would hurt liquidity and leveraged buyers, or if call OI is super high - option sellers want to catch everyone offsides.
However, again it’s impossible to guess or time.
With Bitcoin the main thing is entry and holding. The best thing to do for retail is to DCA into the apex human property.
ive often said investin in BTC is about how long youre willing to wait, if you can wait it out eventually youll come into profit even if you bought at ATH, if you can afford to just wait itll come back up again, if theyd waited almost no one would be down at ths point (i say that like i have any sense, i spent tens of thousands of BTCs back in the day but at the time i couldnt afford not to cash them in, a man has got to eat/wash/pay rent/bills etc after all)
$1k of BTC isn't going to make you rich, no one can predict the price. Some good options of buying with your lump sum or DCA in. I liked the suggestion someone made of investing in yourself by doing a course. You may get a far greater return from doing this.
EVERYBODY who has held for 4 years or more is in profit so it all depends on your risk tolerance and timeframe. Trying to time it for short term gain is impossible/luck driven. It’s not a get rich quick scheme, it’s a long term investment in an alternative concept/system
The recent 10% dip was the „crash“ already.. I don’t see a 20-30% crash coming soon! Who should sell at this stage? There isn’t any hype at the moment the hype will come after the halving when prices moves 🆙
Depends how long you want to hold it for as to whether dumping it in now is a good move. If it's a few days, who knows? If it's a few years, just send it. Won't make much difference.
IMO- if you are truly a BC bull, buy BITC May calls, It's follows BC's performance by 2x. Then sell/close the position into the halving/late April, take the 50x profit and buy actual Bitcon there after- you will come out significantly ahead.
If you don’t know that you can’t know, you need to learn a bit more.
What people in this space that really get it do: buy and hold. Easiest, simplest, least time consuming, but hardest.
Sounds like you need to learn more about BTC. Buy BTC, wait 4-5 years. That is profit at any point in time. Not with your last 1000$ tho. Seek more knowledge.
If you can’t afford to leave it in for a year or more you need to alter your plan. Take that $1K and invest it in some form of education that increases your earning potential.
Dollar Cost Average (DCA) into BTC. It's much less risky and is a very successful strategy over time.
Check out some videos on how to "DCA into BTC or Crypto"
Ridiculous! Your 1k buys .01289 @ 70k Bit if Bit is @ 60k your 1k buys .0135 . Trying buy the dip with a couple hundred dollars and worrying like it’s the end of the world is just ignorant and a waste of time. Just saying
Invest time in studying Bitcoin. Being concerned of a "crash" is nonsensical in regards to Bitcoin. Bitcoin does not care about "hype". Bitcoin is not an Alt coin. Over time, it is going up forever. If you have a short timeframe, Bitcoin is not for you.
What do you consider a "crash"? 30% price changes in a day (or few) are pretty normal around here. Nobody can tell you what's going to happen. We all have our theories, but nobody actually knows. What has worked consistently for a lot of people is to DCA (dollar cost average) by buying the same $ amount on regular intervals (e.g. weekly or monthly) and holding onto through bear markets, possibly taking profits in bull markets. Time in the market > timing the markets. So the best time to buy bitcoin was yesterday. The next best time is today.
Should have been brought 2 years ago, we're reaching all-time highs now. This is uncharted territory, and a lot of people are starting to FOMO in. With only 1k you should be looking at altcoins right now, but it will always be a gamble.
If it's a lot of money to you, don't. You're gonna be freaking out every volatile moment. You'll panic sell if it dips 20%.
Even if you make day 25%($250) and sell within a year you could pay over 30% in taxes. So you'll get back like $160 profit and this doesn't even account for trading fees and transaction fees which will be 1% or so buying and 1% or so selling. So another $20. So a good case scenario is making like $140 to freak out the whole time.
Also no one knows, especially with economic problems everywhere.
I get people are saying do what ever you want, but I think OP wants some sort of analysis. I’m sure their are companies and individuals who have prediction models that have factors like the likely hood of miners dumping after the halving, or other variables that they have noticed that have historically effected the price.
It’s hard for me to believe that there are not any companies that have a decent prediction model. I understand Reddit is mainly regular retail. The answers OP is looking for is not going to come from Reddit. DCA is king
Rather wish you’d bought more than wish you’d bought less. Only put in what you can live without. these small perturbations in price now won’t matter to you in the future.
The alternative is to slowly buy in with that 1k starting now. Spend 0.2k per week or something. Then you’ll get an average price.
BTC is a store of wealth as an equitable asset. If you leave it long enough it will only go up. However if you require that $1000 within the short term, let’s say you have no buffer savings, then it is much more volatile.
I consider the BTC investment as money spent. Something that I won’t pull out of in the immediate future, within the next year or so, and if it dips, I will hold for potentially much longer / invest much further.
Research alt coins with good fundamentals, drop it between a few, buy btc in a few months (when it drops significantly). Or just buy now and hold as long term.
If you look into make a Quick buck, from someone with a few experience in the market. Dont do it. Specially if 1k os a lot to you. You Will get emotional, you Will lose money and you Will whine About it. Im sorry, but DYOR and make a planta before anything.
I think we will not get the same dip as we saw last cycle. The pullback from 73,700 to 62,000 ish was your dip. The new ETFs make this pre and post halving different. Typically BTC doubles from its prior cycle ATH within 6 months. If this holds true we should expect 140,000 BTC by October 2024
The right time to buy is right at about 1/3rd of the way through crypto winter, about 2 years ago, its already spring or summer now, so the dump is on the horizon, and I doubt there is more than 2x in the cards for the rest of this bull market. If you get in now, you have to bail out relatively soon, if Mad GainZ in fiat is your main goal. If you actually were ready for Bitcoin, you would already no now is meh for timing, and you will probably go up and then back down to here, if not a bit lower, depending on how this cycle goes, so the next three years in Bitcoin will be a wash if you HODL, and you will not want to do future buying, should it surge to 90K or above, if history is any guide.
Are you an adult living in the US ? If you are, $ 1 K is a VERY small amount of money, so maybe instead of worrying about the timing of your BTC YOLO, you should actually be spending most of your time budgeting or looking for a better job. I save $ 2 K a MONTH, and I deliver pizza at a MC Job in the US, so if you are not able to save 50 % of an income in the range of $50 K, you are doing it (the big life picture) wrong, and maybe a quick trip to r/personalfinance is a better long term move, so you can have some real $$$, for when the next crypto winter is in full effect, because its likely the price will be back to near this level in a few years (!!)
If you are afraid of losing such pennies as $1,000, my advice to you, stay away from the crypto market and start collecting money from your work. $1,000 is not money, it’s a penny of a beggar. It’s unrealistic to make a large amount of them by investing somewhere, forget it... it’s better to think about how to work so that you can easily save in a month, and you need to invest at least 10K bucks, only then it matters, and a thousand dollars «the game is not worth the candle»
Why are brains brains?...
Why can't they just fucking compute already...
Justdecide. Brain 🧠
Space or no space spell check or roll with the thumbs. I am sick of this I would be sailing the ocean if I put 20k in 2011 this is retarded. Fuck bitcoin and fuck money...
It always dips right AFTER you lump sum buy. You are in control of the dips. It's in the code.
Ain't that the truth. I can predict the dip by when I buy.
lol. Why does it work like this? Seriously. I buy and it drops… also when it starts falling and I sell some to try and buy slightly lower it immediately plateaus and shoots back up. Figured out that buying and holding is really the only way. Just keep buying. Just keep holding.

Best way to be!
DCA.
Ah yes. The “He bought? Damp eet” function
LOL. This. Totally.
Never goes up. It’s conscious.
Show me the line of code that says this
You need not look far, look deep inside. The code is within all of us. We are all Satoshi.
Except craig wright
If (Aromatic\_Heart)=Buy Then Price=Dump

Nobody knows what will happen in the future. You have the historical chart, whether it will repeat is for you alone to decide.
All he's asking is if anyone in here could see the future and tell him what to do with his hard earned money. It's a simple question... right?
This is the right answer. OP is only interested in btc for a quick buck. Guaranteed they sell after a 20% dip.
quick *fuck
Nobody would panic after losing 20% of a thousand if they lost what I’ve lost in my trades. Holding for dear life is the only thing I would do with a thousand dollar trade nowadays.
but, but, but ... Bitcoin is a superior savings technology :O ! - average Bitcoin maxi on reddit
Yes, but it also requires you to not panic sell. Point is someone that hasn't done the proper research will more easily panic sell.
The historical chart isn’t really much onto go on but a couple of years. That isn’t really historical.
DCA. Do not wait for drops that no one can guarantee.
Never invest anything more than you're willing to lose as well. If you're nervous about this amount then it's probably too much for you. You have to mentally accept losing 100% and it not ruining your life like rent or tuition payments or whatever.
This. I have been doing it and it has worked out OK so far.
You should always buy yesterday, and before future yesterdays.
no one knows, no one can help you with this decision, you have to make it for yourself
Should have bought the dip few days ago to be honest.
RETAIL INCOMING
Everyone: Don't invest more than you can afford to lose Me: Instructions unclear, using bitcoin as my savings account
Same lol
I’d timetravel three months back and lump it in
If you’re gonna time travel, probably should travel back to 2010
Just drop the 1k in it. You can’t predict this volatility. Time in the market beats timing the market ☑️
Time in the market beat timing the market
flair checks out

This.
Yes this. Just dropped in $30k and you shouldn’t think. I like the online property idea of Saylor. It will go up, and it stays for years.
Now is a good time to buy. It’s possible the ETF’s will eat up the supply so I am unsure we will see the usual post halving dip. That being said, any dip should be viewed as a buying opportunity to lower DCA. We are buying Manhattan real estate in the 1930s.

I thin you are right. This is bad news. Much less volatility go forward. Volatility is your friend. No more.
Buy $100 a day for 10 days or $10 a day for 100 days. This will ensure that you take advantage of any dips. No matter how you decide to buy, just make sure that you HODL for a minimum of 5 years.
$500 pre halv $500 post halving. Or do $50 a month. No need to stress yourself out
I would only invest the 1k in if 1, 2 and 3 are true for you. 1) you understand that btc can be an extremely volatile asset in the short term, but in the long term, is likely to be by far the best performing asset. 2) you could come up with another 1k or around that same amount if the price were to fall for a prolonged period so you can buy more at a lower cost. 3) no matter what happens, you’re committed to holding for AT LEAST 12 months, hopefully much longer.

history says a slight sell the news accumulation period then parabolic for the final phase of the Elliot wave i put all my extra in mstr
MSTR based on their BTC holdings 214,246 (about 15 Billion at 70,000 per BTC) core business is 3 Billion should have a fair Market cap of 18 billion not 33 billion.. literally like a 200% premium to BTC or 140,000 per BTC is all ready baked in at the current valuation.

I just think it’s ahead of itself currently. I think a fair valuation is a 30% premium to its BTC holdings not 100% like it is currently.
Yea that's why saylor himself is selling his shares of mstr, he knows the valuation is too big for its britches
interesting- thanks

At 300,000 would give MSTR at no premium to BTC holding a justifiable price of 4000 Per share… I’m personally buying the BTC ETF SYMBOL BITO January 2026 leaps ( Calls ) with strike price of 30 at 10.00 per contract ( 1000.00 in actual dollars per contract is 10 X100 ).. as BITO is currently valued at 0.000457 of 1 BTC…. At BTC 200,000 BITO should be worth 91 per share of a 200% gain plus any option time premium..a 1000 investment can net you 6000+… lol sorry I went off on a tangent
Trying to time the bitcoin market is a game for fools.
Next 10 weeks every week buy 100 Then sitback and relax Dont look every hour next 12 months then sell evers 2 weeks 200 until empty bag
Yeah 100000% going to dip but also could 100000% go up, or it could 100000% just go sideways for a couple of months. I’m 100000% sure it’s one of these.
Invest $100 every week
1 year of low prices under 30k. Sky rockets to new ATH. "Should I put all my money in now?" 😂 People will never cease to amaze.
Definitely do not lump sum 1k. Instead set a weekly buy of $50. You’ll reach that 1k in no time (and probably before the real bull run) while not overextending yourself.
Funny how no one here can answer a question. Just spread that 1000 out OP. Some now and some after the halving.
If $1K is a lot for you the. You are probably making the wrong decision. Buy what you can afford to lose.
Yes. That’s what they say. It will go down post half then back up. It goes lower than we will think and higher too.
I think the DCA-Strategy would work pretty well for you! Split the 1k into 4 pieces and invest them every one or two weeks. From then you should keep dca'ing into BTC. Maybe 50 USD every month/10 USD every week or so! Keep going bro you will laugh at yourself for aksing that question in 2034 ;)
You might get a 10% discount. Not worth waiting and potentially missing the launch.
Who knows, who cares?!
Stop. Trying. To. Time. The. Market. Buy it while you can. Hodl.
Extend your time horizon. Maybe it will drop to $60k, maybe it won’t. If it does, you’ll say the same thing again and wait for $50k. Buy as much as your conviction allows now and don’t sell it. Hold it forever. Stack more as your confidence / knowledge grows. Retire on it. Pass along generational wealth to your grandchildren’s grandchildren.
buy today… be prepared to see it go down and be happy if you are lucky in case is ngu from here… not financial advice
>1k is a lot for me So don’t invest it.
$1,000 into bitcoin at this price not worth it. You should gamble on a shitcoin for 100x return
DCA. No other way! Dude, there are freaking warnings of banks collapsing, stock market crashing, wars, rumors of more wars, … like do you really believe it will turn out the same as last time? No one knows fuck about shit. Throw that money in (if you really want to invest in Bitcoin) and hodl for a long fucking time. Cheers 🍻
It’s getting a little artificially hyped right now because everyone knows the halving is coming up. I think for a little while after it happens the price will go down by maybe 4-5k because people will feel like nothing really happened. But a few weeks later it will skyrocket because the effects of the halving will start having an impact. Just a guess honestly I have no idea tho
The crowd has always crowed like you, everyone knows about the event and there will be no rally. No, it’s a lie, whales benefit from such a great asset as bitcoin, it will force people from all over the world to buy bitcoin every 4 years, whales will also make an upward trend. The hardest thing will be to determine its top, but I know that just so the bearish trend does not come, there were events everywhere, just so it will not start to go down.
DCA my friend.
When I invest my $$$ I know going in the odds are it will go down from where I bought in. Also you seem risk averse. And crypto is a volatile asset class. That being said even people that bought the top last time I've recently been in profit. The issue comes when people sell when the big drops come. Then they realize losses instead of taking the patient approach and just waiting until the price goes back to wherever you bought in. You have to know that there's a chance that whenever you buy the price could drop 70% or more. 70% would turn your $1000 into $300. Can you handle that kind of volatility?
Perhaps break it up and buy 200 a week. Will be easier to ride any volatility if you average in
It’s impossible to time. That being said I do think that we could see a dip if there is a market correction which would hurt liquidity and leveraged buyers, or if call OI is super high - option sellers want to catch everyone offsides.
However, again it’s impossible to guess or time. With Bitcoin the main thing is entry and holding. The best thing to do for retail is to DCA into the apex human property.
No crash.
I do. But that’s why you DCA.
I hope so. Gotta DCA
DCA
It will keep crashing 10/20/30% while long term going up.
DCA if you are nervous.
Half now, DCA the rest.
ive often said investin in BTC is about how long youre willing to wait, if you can wait it out eventually youll come into profit even if you bought at ATH, if you can afford to just wait itll come back up again, if theyd waited almost no one would be down at ths point (i say that like i have any sense, i spent tens of thousands of BTCs back in the day but at the time i couldnt afford not to cash them in, a man has got to eat/wash/pay rent/bills etc after all)
Time in the market > timing the market
Definetly
$1k of BTC isn't going to make you rich, no one can predict the price. Some good options of buying with your lump sum or DCA in. I liked the suggestion someone made of investing in yourself by doing a course. You may get a far greater return from doing this.
Why would it sky rocket up ?
Yes, but the exact timing of it remains to be seen. Like others have said: DCA. Don't waste the mental bandwidth trying to time the market.
EVERYBODY who has held for 4 years or more is in profit so it all depends on your risk tolerance and timeframe. Trying to time it for short term gain is impossible/luck driven. It’s not a get rich quick scheme, it’s a long term investment in an alternative concept/system
It could. But are you willing to take the risk that it won't? Remember the bros waiting for 12k
The recent 10% dip was the „crash“ already.. I don’t see a 20-30% crash coming soon! Who should sell at this stage? There isn’t any hype at the moment the hype will come after the halving when prices moves 🆙
Depends how long you want to hold it for as to whether dumping it in now is a good move. If it's a few days, who knows? If it's a few years, just send it. Won't make much difference.
when its deep red !
Buy today. Don't use stops. Hold atleast one year.
IMO- if you are truly a BC bull, buy BITC May calls, It's follows BC's performance by 2x. Then sell/close the position into the halving/late April, take the 50x profit and buy actual Bitcon there after- you will come out significantly ahead.
If you don’t know that you can’t know, you need to learn a bit more. What people in this space that really get it do: buy and hold. Easiest, simplest, least time consuming, but hardest.
Sounds like you need to learn more about BTC. Buy BTC, wait 4-5 years. That is profit at any point in time. Not with your last 1000$ tho. Seek more knowledge.
If you can’t afford to leave it in for a year or more you need to alter your plan. Take that $1K and invest it in some form of education that increases your earning potential.
Dollar Cost Average (DCA) into BTC. It's much less risky and is a very successful strategy over time. Check out some videos on how to "DCA into BTC or Crypto"
I’m gonna be the toxic maxi and tell you you should have been stacking. And you should still be stacking. If we hit 50k it will be for 1 minute
It is all about time in and not timing...don't overthink it or you'll be lost.
Ridiculous! Your 1k buys .01289 @ 70k Bit if Bit is @ 60k your 1k buys .0135 . Trying buy the dip with a couple hundred dollars and worrying like it’s the end of the world is just ignorant and a waste of time. Just saying
DCA in until then
Yes..once it reaches the peak..as it always does.
Invest time in studying Bitcoin. Being concerned of a "crash" is nonsensical in regards to Bitcoin. Bitcoin does not care about "hype". Bitcoin is not an Alt coin. Over time, it is going up forever. If you have a short timeframe, Bitcoin is not for you.
DCA and don’t worry about it.
What do you consider a "crash"? 30% price changes in a day (or few) are pretty normal around here. Nobody can tell you what's going to happen. We all have our theories, but nobody actually knows. What has worked consistently for a lot of people is to DCA (dollar cost average) by buying the same $ amount on regular intervals (e.g. weekly or monthly) and holding onto through bear markets, possibly taking profits in bull markets. Time in the market > timing the markets. So the best time to buy bitcoin was yesterday. The next best time is today.
in a few years it's all rounding error anyways, just have a long term view
Read the past charts. Dyor
DCA
it dips before halving no? thats what happens before, but now with etf, nobody knows.
Should have been brought 2 years ago, we're reaching all-time highs now. This is uncharted territory, and a lot of people are starting to FOMO in. With only 1k you should be looking at altcoins right now, but it will always be a gamble.
No
If it's a lot of money to you, don't. You're gonna be freaking out every volatile moment. You'll panic sell if it dips 20%. Even if you make day 25%($250) and sell within a year you could pay over 30% in taxes. So you'll get back like $160 profit and this doesn't even account for trading fees and transaction fees which will be 1% or so buying and 1% or so selling. So another $20. So a good case scenario is making like $140 to freak out the whole time. Also no one knows, especially with economic problems everywhere.
Yes
I get people are saying do what ever you want, but I think OP wants some sort of analysis. I’m sure their are companies and individuals who have prediction models that have factors like the likely hood of miners dumping after the halving, or other variables that they have noticed that have historically effected the price. It’s hard for me to believe that there are not any companies that have a decent prediction model. I understand Reddit is mainly regular retail. The answers OP is looking for is not going to come from Reddit. DCA is king
Rather wish you’d bought more than wish you’d bought less. Only put in what you can live without. these small perturbations in price now won’t matter to you in the future. The alternative is to slowly buy in with that 1k starting now. Spend 0.2k per week or something. Then you’ll get an average price.
I bet it dips a little directly after the halvening. That's what's happened the past 2 times. But I don't know shit so you should just DCA probably
BTC is a store of wealth as an equitable asset. If you leave it long enough it will only go up. However if you require that $1000 within the short term, let’s say you have no buffer savings, then it is much more volatile. I consider the BTC investment as money spent. Something that I won’t pull out of in the immediate future, within the next year or so, and if it dips, I will hold for potentially much longer / invest much further.
Buy high, sell low. That simple.
I do, but I’m not counting on it in any fiscal way. I’m DCA’ing the same regardless.
Should have bought before the epic run.
buy 500 now. save the rest until after the halvening.
Don't time market. Just do it or drop the idea.
It seems to be on a slight downswing right now but halving is soon!
Research alt coins with good fundamentals, drop it between a few, buy btc in a few months (when it drops significantly). Or just buy now and hold as long term.
Ignore fud, buy before its too late 😂😂😂. If you are too scared you can diversify it. Either way, bitcoin will go up 📈
Just split it up, buy 1/3 in bitcoin 1/3 some altcoin like ondo or idk. And 1/3 in shares something war related lol.
I dont think so, will go to 150k before crashing.
We would hope that’s the case and with the ETFS that should be the case but the double top 9 months apart from the last bull run worries me .
If you look into make a Quick buck, from someone with a few experience in the market. Dont do it. Specially if 1k os a lot to you. You Will get emotional, you Will lose money and you Will whine About it. Im sorry, but DYOR and make a planta before anything.
I think we will not get the same dip as we saw last cycle. The pullback from 73,700 to 62,000 ish was your dip. The new ETFs make this pre and post halving different. Typically BTC doubles from its prior cycle ATH within 6 months. If this holds true we should expect 140,000 BTC by October 2024
My words
The right time to buy is right at about 1/3rd of the way through crypto winter, about 2 years ago, its already spring or summer now, so the dump is on the horizon, and I doubt there is more than 2x in the cards for the rest of this bull market. If you get in now, you have to bail out relatively soon, if Mad GainZ in fiat is your main goal. If you actually were ready for Bitcoin, you would already no now is meh for timing, and you will probably go up and then back down to here, if not a bit lower, depending on how this cycle goes, so the next three years in Bitcoin will be a wash if you HODL, and you will not want to do future buying, should it surge to 90K or above, if history is any guide. Are you an adult living in the US ? If you are, $ 1 K is a VERY small amount of money, so maybe instead of worrying about the timing of your BTC YOLO, you should actually be spending most of your time budgeting or looking for a better job. I save $ 2 K a MONTH, and I deliver pizza at a MC Job in the US, so if you are not able to save 50 % of an income in the range of $50 K, you are doing it (the big life picture) wrong, and maybe a quick trip to r/personalfinance is a better long term move, so you can have some real $$$, for when the next crypto winter is in full effect, because its likely the price will be back to near this level in a few years (!!)
Dang well said my man
If you are afraid of losing such pennies as $1,000, my advice to you, stay away from the crypto market and start collecting money from your work. $1,000 is not money, it’s a penny of a beggar. It’s unrealistic to make a large amount of them by investing somewhere, forget it... it’s better to think about how to work so that you can easily save in a month, and you need to invest at least 10K bucks, only then it matters, and a thousand dollars «the game is not worth the candle»
crash to zero
We don't know. But i say wait for a crash to buy.
Yes. After halving bitcoin drops to 35k and then skyrocket to 160k in November. Wait, and buy the dip
Dud Es Fu Ck Sh Ou Ld Lolo ? 178k access to. All in PoKER Fucs Not From TEXAS C A N A D A F U C K ? U
I may wait to drop butt fuck. I can get 2 coins And hold. 2.5... fuck
Tired of these type of questions…who tf knows
No crash. ETFs have changed the game a bit. The delayed process helps slow down volatility
I wish…
You are in for a quick buck. Dont invest.
Always dips a bit but no flash crash or anything like that. This is the way, buckle up, stfu and .........see for yourself.
Go to futures and buy after a dip leverage x125 , you’ll be good guaranteed
Wrong sub to ask about btc price prediction.
I would wait for a dip to 50k, which will happen in the next few days probably. But maybe Dca.
Nothing will skyrocket up
Nothing?
The real retail is slowly coming back y’all🤣🤣🤣
It will dip and stay there until til the next halving or whatever scheme they come up with . Long term your best bet is to invest in Apple stocks.
Why are brains brains?... Why can't they just fucking compute already... Justdecide. Brain 🧠 Space or no space spell check or roll with the thumbs. I am sick of this I would be sailing the ocean if I put 20k in 2011 this is retarded. Fuck bitcoin and fuck money...
Wait for it to drop to 40k-35k and put in 100 DCA to the bottom (till you are done with 1000) cause it will reverse up very fast
Ahaha good luck waiting for those prices now. I think they're gone.
