this, put half of it into bitcoin right now and then slowly put the rest into bitcoin whenever there is a dip so you still have funds to catch huge weekly/monthly dips. You can buy 1 bitcoin now and slowly invest the rest. Dollar cost average investing is the safest bet. You'll never have to worry about checking the price 24/7 and everyone holding at least 1 bitcoin has already won.

It depends, many are salesmen and want a cut of your money. If you’re looking for a diverse and safe portfolio then maybe, but as long as you don’t lock up more than 10% of your net worth in BTC you’ll be fine. Also don’t buy any alt coins, there’s no assurance that they’re not scams. And 90% of them are pump and dumps, these alt coin posts are mostly pump and dump groups and their victims hoping for the moon. Btc only when it comes to the crypto market, and then go somewhere else like real estate ETFs or mutual funds for your other capital. Slow and steady wins the race

They would never advice you to invest in anything like bitcoin. Which is safe and understandable. Their approach is more like invest for 30 years and double your money.

So many people are telling you to put it in bitcoin

>>18728174
Its been working very well because if you have a strong financial foundation you won't have losses, and what I mean by that is you will never be forced to sell at a loss and if the price goes down you are basically buying it for a discount. You only incur a loss if you have no cash left and need to sell bitcoin at a lower price than you bought it for. You can only lose if you sell for less than you bought it for.

When the stock market originally gained popularity over 100 yrs ago, the majority of people felt it as gambling and too volatile to conserve wealth. Do you really think that in 30 years time, that it would matter that you paid $4000 or $7500 per btc? considering Inflation alone, it’s silly to assume btc will be worth $7500 in 10 years time. If it’s worth zero by then, then at least you didn’t risk more than 10% of your net

>> No.18728321

>>18728202
I understand. Would you suggest investing say 100/week to start out so long as its value is below 10k?

You make a great point however I will have to figure out an investment strategy before diving in.

>> No.18728356

>>18728321
Yeah that would be great, just be sure to secure at least 1 bitcoin right now before the halving. No one really knows if the price is gonna crash or if its going to skyrocket, add in the coronavirus and anything is possible right now. 1 BTC is enough for you to have no regrets whether it skyrockets or dumps, and you will have plenty of extra money to DCA with.

Here goes the redpill formula for all kinds of investments.

Literally anything with 30% monthly yield has 30% risk of getting rekt that month at best. Each 1% above that increases that risk by about 5..10%.

In short, better go to a casino, they at least got alcohol.

DCA is a decent strategy.
Most people will tell you "never invest more than you are willing to lose", which is the most reasonable and safe approach you can take.

I think his point was that at some point it becomes "much higher risk, only a little bit higher reward".

When considering DCA, keep in mind that the strategy that would be your realistic alternative would be to simply go all in at once. Some people will argue that going all in will give better yields in the long run, I think DCA makes sense, I ran some simulations on the bitcoin history and DCA came out on top more often than not (compared to all-in). It also has the added bonus of helping you build a feel for how the price progresses. But my point is that you should not compare DCA to the third option, day trading and trying to time the market, because that's not a realistic alternative.

Fuck, I had to do that once. Little fucker wouldn't fall for any of my instant-death traps. He was so fucking disgusting, squeaking and trying to break free. Put my dead dog's food bowl over him so I wouldn't have to see him. Then into a garbage bag with both shrieking rat and bowl, dropped a brick into the bag and the shrieking stopped. Then out the window and into the canal with the bag. It didn't sink. As I was pushing the bag down into the water from my houseboat window with a broom a police boat slowly drives by.

Noted. What is the current speculation regarding the halving? Is it bound to increase in value?

Nope, nothing is certain, and there are loads of plausible sounding arguments either way, enough that whatever way the price goes someone will be able to say "told you so" and present a credible argument for how they predicted it. Me, I think it will fall to about 3.8k-5k, then crab a while, then go up to about 35k-50k. I also think it will be worth $1M in less than 20 years. But that's me.

Here's what you should do: Set aside 10% for crypto and that means bitcoin. When some friend or family member tries to tease you say that it is conservative strategy to have about 10% in gold and that as far as you can see bitcoin is about as solid as other paper gold markets where you would also never see "your" gold, see where that argument takes you. Pretend that your bitcoin is your serious, non-speculative, hedge position (like gold). But in fact, it's your fun, might-moon-and-make-real-money-but-if-not-I-can-afford-to-lose investment. The other 90% you indeed build a stock & bond investment strategy with, and potentially consult an advisor for, that's actually your serious, less speculative portfolio. You now don't really have a hedge asset like real gold, but hey, you're young! And bitcoin might in fact well work for this purpose too, though hopefully we won't have to test that theory (if the economy recovers).

That's what you should do. What I would do is buy 1 bitcoin right away-ish (maybe buy half a bitcoin and then dca for the other half), then start building a investment strategy etc with a view to invest the remaining 60% in stocks & bonds but with the option while researching stocks to dca in a little extra from that money into btc if the price falls a lot. But what you should do is probably what you should do.

Doesn't exist. You best bet is buying $10k worth of gold and splitting the rest between BTC, ETH and LINK.
That way you are guaranteed to not lose any money, but have a huge upside.
