Started my crypto adventure in 2017. Lost way more than I won back then. Luckily, my freelance gig funded my habit. Learned the hard way in those bear markets. Now sticking to weekly DCA for BTC since 2022. Gonna keep it up through 2024.

So, is MSTR nuts for buying BTC over 100K? Waiting for dips feels like missing the boat. DCA is the way to go. Sure, altcoins can pump harder, but they can crash just as fast. I’m steering clear of them way too risky. So yeah, still DCA-ing Bitcoin.

Lol, DCA on altcoins? C’mon, it’s all about BTC. We’re in a Bitcoin bull run, not altcoin season. Few alts might ride BTC's coattails, but don’t expect them to shine. Stick to BTC, it's safer long-term.

Nobody knows what’s next, right? If you’ve been DCA-ing Bitcoin, you’re probably up 1.5x. DCA-ing some altcoins might’ve netted 7x, but others are tanking. I’m still all in on Bitcoin.

BTC hitting 100K is wild, but some think it’ll go higher. Some say alt season is around the corner and want to switch to altcoins. Me? I see more risk with alts. BTC is stable and has long-term potential. Always do your own research, especially in volatile times.

Feels like the world wants us to ditch Bitcoin. But honestly, I think it’s a great time to buy more. Countries are looking to add BTC to reserves. I want to stack more before the next big price jump.

If you’ve missed the cheap DCA window, don’t sweat it. You can still profit, but the peak might be next year. Should’ve been buying in 2022 and 2023. If you're after quick gains, better wait for the next bear market.

I’m only DCA-ing Bitcoin. Altcoins? Nah, too risky. There are so many crap coins out there. If you pick the wrong alt, you’re just losing money. I value opinions but don’t trust blindly.

Investors should know the risks before DCA-ing into alts. Most users should stick with Bitcoin. It’s tough to find experienced traders, anyway.

If you think an altcoin season is coming, focus on infrastructure coins they have real value. Just avoid those meme coins. They’re the worst! You can gauge the market with the right indicators.

Been DCA-ing Bitcoin monthly and it’s working out. No reason to stop now, especially with the recent dips. More corrections mean more BTC to buy at lower prices. I listen to others but stick to my own strategy.

Wait, you wanna ditch Bitcoin for alts? Do you even realize the risks? Bitcoin’s got a long-term track record, while alts can be a gamble. Stick with BTC and avoid the traps of alts.

DCA is solid for building a portfolio but I stopped due to personal finance issues. Bitcoin is the backbone of crypto if it drops, so do alts. Why not split your investments between BTC and a few alts?

For DCA, you need a steady income. If you’re living paycheck to paycheck, don’t put all your cash into investments. That’s risky. You can still DCA but maybe less consistently.

You’ve been DCA-ing since 2017 and profit’s been good. No reason to stop now. Your strategy's solid, and many are shifting to alts after BTC hit 100K. Just gotta be smart about it.

This forum feels like a Bitcoin echo chamber. We need to look at altcoins that actually have potential. Not all alts are bad, just do your research.

Not a fan of DCA for altcoins. They don't perform well long-term. Bitcoin may have slower returns now, but it’s still profitable. DCA in BTC is easier to maximize.

I don’t trust online traders. It’s simple: buy Bitcoin in bear markets and sell before they get rough. Why risk good coins for meme coins that might not recover?

Why switch to altcoins? They’re way more volatile than Bitcoin. Stick to what works. Buy right, sell when the market’s hot don’t hold onto risky coins. Now's a good time for Bitcoin.

Yep, that’s how I started my crypto journey too. I’ve got my plans for next year, but I don’t see the point in ditching BTC for alts. Gonna keep it focused on Bitcoin.
