When is a Good Time to Buy Bitcoin?
I am constantly asked if it is a good time to buy Bitcoin. My reply is simple, "always be buying". Some folks like to buy all at one time but I prefer to break up my purchases over time.
Why is buying Bitcoin over time a good idea?
If you break up your purchases over time you decrease your risk. Bitcoin is a volatile asset and as you see it can have wild swings. So if you buy every week regardless of the price you decrease your risk and anxiety.
Same concept as in stocks. Best performance comes from holding long term and buying regularly

Cost averaging is probably a good bet. But as over the long term people think it will reach 250k per bitcoin or more when to invest seems a bit lost in the noise for a long term hold.

Cost averaging is a proven method of buying when the asset acquired is in a long term uptrend.
If BTC reaches the value you mentioned, buying it over the next 3-4 years in increments will make a lot of people very wealthy.

I've following this passive indexing strategy, combined with cost averaging and the new concept in crypto of owning the millionth of supply. It has yielded me great results with managed low risks.

Yes, but which is the real Bitcoin? Legacy Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash?
Bitcoin Cash already had the longest chain and frequently has half the hashrate of the legacy chain? Not to mention there is a very real possibility of a third Bitcoin chain if the 2x hardfork goes bad in November.
Last year, I would gladly tell everyone in my family, and everyone I met, to check out bitcoin. But today, I don't do that anymore due to all the drama and uncertainty.
It's sad thing to witness the division within the community over the scaling issue. I honestly thought we would never see two competing bitcoin chains, but here we are.

I don't think I will ever buy a bitcoin. Mostly because I have fallen through the cracks of society.
However, my thoughts have been on how to earn bitcoin.
Things like steemit are great.
But making a business where people send you bitcoin all the time would be even better.

If you create decent content on steemit you can earn steem and convert to bitcoin. The biggest bloggers earn up to $1000 for really good posts. Build a following, Make a couple of those sort of posts and you'll have over 1 btc in no time!

Absolutely, reminds me of a recent video by @oceanica who basically said at Bitcoin's current price it's hard to say what will happen in the near future, therefore he recommends finding ways to earn it instead of paying fiat cash for it (although I believe as @hilarski implies, it's always a good long term investment).
Just paste into youtube "Bitcoin's near $4,000 - Why I'm NOT Investing Anymore! " and you'll see it, I'd post the link here but for some reason Steemit removes all text whenever I post a YT link in a comment.

The program part that interprets links messes up with youtube links.
You have to put them on a separate line and often separated by a blank line.
Then it will put a player in your comment.
The better way is to put it into an href
<A href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28HfAI2Ka3U">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28HfAI2Ka3U</A>You can replace the second url with the title, or whatever text you would like to have highlighted.

Yeah, I can agree on that one. Sometimes we are waiting for some special price or just for Bitcoin to lower down. Despite its volatility, it usually doesn't happen the way we planned or wished for. In general, watching the Bitcoin closely only for the last 8 months or so, I can say Bitcoin always grow. And if we are not intending to sell it the very next day after we bought it, and tend to keep it for a longer run, just as you said every time it's a good time to buy it.
P.S.
And I like the idea of buying it weekly or so. Let's say whenever we have some spare money we could allocate (I would call it) for savings. Maybe not for the Chris from the cartoon 😜, but certainly for some more distant purpose.

If Bitcoin truly succeeds long term, any price point today will seem like an amazing entry point. Not a pump, just reality. Of course, try to get as much bang for your buck, but definitely don't wait on the sidelines forever for the "price to go down". Get a stake now and set a game plan with buy orders for lower. I missed out on amazing entry points in the past because I thought it was relatively high compared to its past price. Even if I bought a small allocation then, it'd have made a big difference today. On the other hand, you can also invest in mining contracts that are a fixed cost way of getting bitcoin for the foreseeable future.

Agreed. About the only reasonable way to approach an investment as volatile as Bitcoin is to dollar cost average in to it. It's amazing what that can do for your psyche. You are kind of thankful for the dips, because you know you are getting a bigger bang for your buck on that buy. And then you are just as happy when it shoots up because you know you're in the game.

YES YES YES, the best time to buy is now,
There is a massive interest in Bitcoin at the moment. Some people say a bubble is being formed, and yes they are right.... because not all the companies who are created now, will survive, that is just how life goes. But other people say, it is still early days for Bitcoin and Cryptos: and again: they are right too, because as we can see: more and more companies are rising every day.
Most important - Popular Media, is talking about Bitcoin more and more: CNN, Bloomberg, Financial Times etc, are keeping up to date with current developments and trends with Cryptocurrencies, and that shows "the time has come", and it is just a matter or time, when BTC will face mass-addoption. Then will be another explosion in BTC valuation.

I do not believe this to be a smart financial tactic, the best time to buy Bitcoin is when it crashes and people start panic selling... So as soon as the coin gets stabilized again you can make quite a bit of money.

Buying a little each week is good advice. That was my plan, but didn't have extra cash during the month of August... so I didn't carry through on my plan this last month.
I have become a lot more active on Steemit during that last week. My weekly activity here could be "buying a little each week" if you count earning as buying.
