As usual, there is pro and Contra in Investing in Bitcoin and Alt Coin. Michael Saylor is a Billionaire and understand very good about technology, Blockchain, Cryptos said "Yes"  it is worthy. He is talking about Crypto but also connect it with disruptive innovation in technology. Which has turned into trillion companies.It is edited version to make it short but people could still find his original interview in YouTube.

Investing in Bitcoin and altcoin will need a proper strategy. I myself has started investing in BTC and other Cryptos such as ETH, ADA, DOGE since early this year. I did my DD and I prefer to follow buying the dip and keep lowering the price using DCA strategy. I buy a small chunk when I believe there is a significant dip to keep my price down using Dollar cost averaging (DCA) and never sell it. I just adding my position a few hundreds $ every time I see the siginificant dip.

In addition to Michael Saylor, this guy is explaining well why the DCA strategy will work with BTC

Mind you this guy and Michael Saylor are not an IFA so you should do your own DD and decide whether investing in BTC and Altcoin is for you; what is the best strategy that you believe will work for you. But what they said is not something new as you will see a lot of people apply this strategy.

Those who cannot handle very high volatility should never get involved in investing high volatility assets such as BTC and Alt Coins. For instance those who did panic selling their BTC and other Cryptos during the dip in the last two weeks will now (today) regret it. Instead of selling it people who apply this strategy will keep adding their position instead of selling during the dip.

He knows what he's doing.

He apparently was going to stop taking Bitcoin payments due to the environmental impact.

What's changed since in that regard to warrant taking them again? Nothing, only that the price has fallen enough that a media story pump will budge it up a few pc points again.

He freely admitted he is a pumper and not a dumper, also that he has Bitcoin in Tesla and SpaceX and also personally (along with Ethereum and Doge)

With the China clampdown (which I think is a great thing and not at all negative) Bitcoin mining has been getting more environmentally friendly, a report puts it at 56% renewable which is above the 50% Musk wanted for Tesla to accept it.

I don't like him, but from an investment point of view if he wants to tweet how amazing Bitcoin is for a few month's I will be well happy!

Elon Musk keeps talking negative about BTC energy use in the last few months but admitted he has not sold his position. And now he changed his story during the last B-Word conference.

Probably needs the money to fund his SpaceX ambitions. With Bezos and Branson getting all the positive headlines.

Those who are interested in viewing the ₿ Word Conference with Cathie Wood, Jack Dorsey, & Elon Musk which was Streamed on Jul 21, 2021. You hear it from authoritative sources, people who know what they are talking about rather than from Random People on Internet.

Watch on YouTube

If Musk bought shares in his own company and then made an announcement to drive the price up, e.g. inventing an imaginary takeover bid, that would be securities fraud - and he has been successfully prosecuted for exactly that (he settled with the SEC).

My understanding however is that crypto is not regulated by the SEC, and if bros want to sell tokens to Musk and then later give him more money to buy them back, that's their own lookout. 

I am not sure if Musk's knowledge that he is about to make a statement on accepting Bitcoin counts as insider trading. The effect of him making an announcement could be cancelled out by the Chinese having another crackdown or just a general selloff with no particular cause. 

He knows what he's doing.

Actually, China has banned bitcoin mining which has cut out A LOT of coal-powered mining. 

Then we have countries like El Salvador creating mining farms via geothermal.

And more research has shown that over 50% of mining is from renewables. 

Musk doesn't fully understand bitcoin and its processes, he talks a lot of !!!!!!. He looked lost and foolish at the latest bitcoin conference, no idea why he was even invited.

Bingo the $40.000 resistance level has been consitantly broken today. The next resistance level is around 49k. Those who sold BTC during the sell off when BTC was around $29.850, about a week ago regret it now ??

What's to regret? Missing out on 25% gain on a small % of any size portfolio is peanuts. If your going to put 5-10% in bitcoin its for one of 2 reasons. One you think its going to be worth 10x what it is now in whatever time frame or two you think it will preserve your wealth.

Who cares about some double up on 5 to 10%. Even if you had £10m total with £1m in BTC and you double it, you wouldn't actually feel that much richer would you. You need multiple double ups of that 10% to start getting all excited about it.

Or it's both reasons...plus a few others! 

Let's see how long it takes to really break down The Great Wall of $40k first

Simple because $40K is just the beginning of breaking the barrier for another bull run.
