RE: BUY TIME -- When is it buy time in cryptocurrency? --- It's buy time when you don't see the bottom

in #bitcoin6 years ago (edited)

It's been one year since I first got into cryptos. At about this time last year, BTC and the others were seeing a severe correction. It went on until the middle of July and many were depressed. At that time, BTC was at $2,600 and sliding. Some people were fearful it go below $1,000 again. Which was definitely possible.

Coming in with fresh capital, I decided on this strategy: Averaging. That is, buying at different levels and not in one shot. The first buy was at $2,200. It went down. So I bought some more at the lower price... until it was $1,800. It's no fun seeing my portfolio value in the minus but I decided to just hold on to the averaging strategy. Well, I was vindicated when BTC not only rebounded but went on to create new highs over that exhilarating 6-7 month period.

With averaging, remember to also sell during an uptrend to lock in profits. Regardless of what some may say about it going to $50k or whatever, it's always good to have some of our capital in fiat. For times like this when things are cheap.

Yes.. when there are bargain opportunities like this... having some fiat ready to move is very important. I fully agree with you.
