From $0 to $126,000 in 16 years. From $126,000 back to $60,000 in 4 months. Bitcoin is volatile. In this article, we’ll look at how to handle Bitcoin’s volatility, whether you’re just starting out or looking to accumulate smarter.
Why is Bitcoin so volatile (and why is that not necessarily bad)?
Volatility is the “price swing” of an asset. For Bitcoin, it’s naturally higher than traditional assets because it’s a young market, sensitive to liquidity, sentiment, and major news.
When you look at the Bitcoin chart in its entirety, you might notice a pattern. Significant drops occur roughly every four years, often linked to the Bitcoin halving, the macroeconomic situation, or Black Swan events.
How to handle Bitcoin volatility as a beginner?
When exactly should I buy? The honest answer: “As soon as you are ready and understand the risks.” Hardly anyone can perfectly time the market. Despite the dips, Bitcoin grows over the long term.
Common beginner mistakes during volatility:
- Waiting for the “perfect price” and then never buying at all.
- Investing a large lump sum without a plan (and then panic-selling).
- Watching the chart every day and switching strategies based on emotions.
- Investing money that you will need in a very short timeframe.
Which strategy is ideal for Bitcoin beginners?
You can buy Bitcoin as a lump sum and hope you “buy the dip.” Or, you can split that one big amount into several smaller ones and buy gradually. We call this approach Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA).
The DCA strategy is called Auto Buy in the Invity app. You can choose weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly buys for your chosen amount. Long-term consistency wins.
How to ride Bitcoin volatility as an advanced investor?
In the Invity app, you’ll find the Auto Buy Plus strategy and our innovative Turbo Buy.
Auto Buy Plus automatically adjusts the buy amount based on price development over the last 120 weeks — buying more when prices are low relative to historical levels, and less near all-time highs.
👉 Auto Buy Plus is DCA that behaves intelligently and follows market trends.
How to accumulate even more Bitcoin without active trading?
We created the original Turbo Buy strategy, thoroughly backtested across all Bitcoin price scenarios since 2016. This strategy is based on classic DCA but allows you to use 60% extra buying power.
How Turbo Buy works in practice:
- For every regular payment of your own, you get +60% additional buying power.
- The total volume of Bitcoin purchased serves as collateral for your additional 60% capital.
- When closing the Turbo plan, you settle the balance at the current Bitcoin price relative to past purchase prices.
- Everything remaining after settlement is fully yours.
- Designed for investors who plan to invest long-term (ideally at least 2–3 years).
How to choose a strategy based on your profile
- I want peace of mind and simplicity → DCA (Auto Buy in Invity).
- I want to buy more in dips and less during peaks → Auto Buy Plus.
- I want to accumulate faster without active trading → Turbo Buy.
