The biggest mistake in dollar-cost averaging Bitcoin, 90% of people are making
Many people think that dollar-cost averaging is very simple: Set a period Fixed buying Then wait for the price to rise
But the reality is — Very few people actually make money in the long run.
Because most people make three fatal mistakes when executing dollar-cost averaging:
Mistake One: Stopping dollar-cost averaging because of a decline The most common behavior when the market drops:
Pause buying Wait for a lower price Watch and wait
But this goes against the essence of dollar-cost averaging. The purpose of dollar-cost averaging is to enforce discipline for you in times of panic.
Stopping dollar-cost averaging Is equivalent to giving up the strategy.
Mistake Two: Trying to predict the market Many people say:
Wait until the drop stabilizes before buying Wait for confirmation of a reversal before entering
But the market will not provide clear answers
The advantage of long-term investors has never been prediction But rather: disciplined execution
Mistake Three: A more easily overlooked, yet the most fatal underlying principle: Cash flow.
You can have faith, but you must have cash flow.
Dollar-cost averaging without cash flow is essentially betting your life; if unexpected events (medical, unemployment, emergency expenses) occur at home or to yourself, You will be forced to sell your coins.
And the phrase "forced to sell" almost always happens at: The worst price, at the most panic-stricken time
So my principles are: 1. Always leave enough cash flow for living expenses 2. Then talk about dollar-cost averaging, then talk about long-term holding 3. The money for dollar-cost averaging must be "money that won't affect your life even if it goes to zero"
I don't need perfect entry points
What I need is: The ability to not be forced to exit in any market condition
So, even if Bitcoin drops to 100 dollars My strategy will not change Because I am buying long-term consensus Not short-term fluctuations
As the period extends The emotional impact will gradually disappear Discipline begins to generate compound interest
This is the advantage of long-term capital!
Ps: Just now $ETH was acting up, guys made hundreds of thousands in ten minutes from the grid, it was too damn awesome
Today the market further contracted, with a transaction volume of 22 trillion, and the median dropped by 0.7%. Growth stocks have no volume and are generally down. The best performer today was the US healthcare sector at +3.2%, and it seems that consumer stocks in A-shares and Hong Kong stocks have performed reasonably well today, banks up by +1.6%, which is just the classic safe-haven sector. The worst performer was non-ferrous metals at -4.6%, following fluctuations in gold and silver, and electrical equipment at -3.4%, mainly due to clarifications from solar stocks.
……
The cryptocurrency market has been shattered these days. Bitcoin briefly dropped below $70,000, which reached $126,000 last October, falling 44% from its peak. Now, it is estimated that the current electricity mining cost is around $71,000, with electricity costs accounting for about 60% to 80%, followed by hardware costs, which means that mining is currently at a loss.
What happens if there are losses? There will be no new Bitcoins, but actually, it won't matter much; it's hard to expect a quick recovery. For example, it's like the prices of cyclical goods falling below cost; how long can this loss-making deal last? Look at the chemical industry now, some segmented chemicals have actually been operating at a loss for two to three years.
Historically, Bitcoin has a cycle of about four years, and now it has reached the bottom; it is estimated that we still have to endure for a while. Similarly, cryptocurrency-related stocks in the US have performed terribly, with the second place CRCL reaching a maximum of $263/share, now it's about $55/share, partly due to market conditions and partly due to the impact of US Treasury bond interest rate cuts; Figure has also taken a significant hit these days.
Bitcoin plummets 7%, what exactly happened in the crypto world?
This time Bitcoin fell 7%, primarily due to liquidity expectations tightening triggered by the Federal Reserve chairman nomination, high leverage liquidations, and risk assets' coordinated sell-off, compounded by technical breakdowns, forming a chain reaction of 'policy upheaval + capital liquidation + emotional resonance.' As of January 31, 2026, Bitcoin hit a low of $81,000, with over $1.4 billion liquidated within 24 hours, affecting more than 200,000 people across the network. 1. Direct trigger: Federal Reserve personnel and policy expectation reversal Hawkish nomination impact
On January 30, Trump nominated former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Walsh as the candidate for the next chairman, known for his 'hawkish background + pragmatic monetarism,' advocating for 'simultaneous interest rate cuts and balance sheet reduction'—reducing the balance sheet withdraws market liquidity and suppresses inflation, creating space for interest rate cuts, interpreted as a tightening signal of 'the private sector footing the bill.'
