Let's say that I have some money (not a lot) and I want to maximize how much bitcoin I can get. Is there a way, besides waiting and technical analysis, to get cheaper bitcoins through legal means? (In other words, I want the lowest exchange rate possible.) The reason that I think this is feasible is because bitcoin was two dollars just 7 years ago, and though I don't expect this valuation, I would like to get it in the lower thousands (preferably below the 2018 bottom price) or hundreds without having the price crash. I think that, because of the above reason, caring people would have somewhat of an incentive to sell their bitcoins to an individual buyer through something like a dark pool: the price won't crash and they could sell more of their old BTC. Note: I won't sell it right away unless I bought at the top in order to maximize returns.

Note: mining bitcoin is not currently viable, though it is expected to be even after the impending halving because of the demand created by this halving partly from speculation.
