Buy the DIP, and HODL!

[As-Soon-As]

I totally agree to all what you said here, while the DCA accumulating strategy remains the best accumulating strategy, that doesn't make the lumps sum strategy bad, the most important thing is investing when the funds is available, and sticking to your investment without you tempering with it in the future.
Then as for the case of volatility, that's just one of the characteristics of Bitcoin, and we that are investors shouldn't be bothered about that, it's only traders that should be worried, we should not forget that we are all long term holder, so why would we be worried about short term volatility? That's the cup of tea for traders, not investors like us.

DCA method is not only for long-term investment but also helps in accumulating more Bitcoins, it is a suitable method for long-term holding in all aspects, which is why DCA method plays the biggest role behind the holding of every investor. When you start holding Bitcoin and if it is every week or month then you will be busy raising money and will also get rid of extra expenses. For example, citizens of every country may keep money in their domestic bank but they get low interest, but Bitcoin is such a coin where if you deposit Bitcoin, you will be ready to get your maximum profit within a few days.
You should note that the history of Bitcoin price is right. Those who have invested in Bitcoin and have held their Bitcoin till now are present to get the maximum benefit of their Bitcoin. For this reason I say Bitcoin is the only trusted coin in which all people can be successful by investing in it in a long-term manner.

DCA increases our focus to keep buying, if we routinely buy every week then when we miss it once it feels like a regret and that's what can be said if DCA is comfortable then we will be more focused on accumulating bitcoin.

Believe me time flies so fast. The past two years were a beautiful time to remember, because there were many great opportunities that could be utilized, but this year too we must target every week to continue buying bitcoin.

Buying bitcoin is easy, but consistency is the best thing to achieve the perfect level throughout the accumulation we do.

Different people have different strategies in terms of investment and everybody have a particular strategy that work for them.
Buying Bitcoin by DCA does not necessary mean that the investor have limited capital, most people that buy Bitcoin by DCA still have the capital for lump sum but one of the reason why some people prefer DCA to lump sum is that some people see lump sum as a method that is risky because of the volatile nature of Bitcoin which they cannot possible tell what the price may be in the future. So to avoid any uncertainty in regard to dip they see DCA as precautionary way of buying Bitcoin than lump sum which requires buying Bitcoin at once with the capital at hand without considering whether the price will dip or not.

The truth is that if an investor see's lump very risky because of the volatility of bitcoin I don't think the DCA method of investing will be seen in a different way because these are different strategies of investing but the same market. I do not agree with you why you think people don't prefer lump strategies because of the volatility  of bitcoin,  even in the DCA method volatility still happens. People just prefer to use DCA because it is straightforward and stress free. The most important aspect using the DCA method to invest is that you can be very consistent with your investment because you are just investing with amount you can afford, it doesn't matter what the amount  is but the important thing is that one is investing with ease.

Last time i check DCA and Lump sum is not in competition with each other. Both of them are good and preferred strategy to any investor. Do you know that Lump sum investing has outperformed DCA investing over 60% all time statically according to my research. Micro Strategy and other big tech firms are using Lump sum to buy and we get to see billions of dollars invested in Bitcoin. Same way people are much interested in DCA is the same way many are interested in Lump sum. Honestly, if an investors has enough capital and do not see any reason (risk tolerance, market fluctuation, low capital etc.) to DCA then he should Lump sum. DCA is usually a good strategy for those that don't have the capital upfront.

With of this being said. If after investing we are left with no money at all then Lump sum is not for such investor. We shouldn't invest in Bitcoin unless we have paid off all the high interest debt, cover all our monthly needs, have at least 3-6 months of fiat in an emergency fund to cover unexpected life expenses.

Most of the time I see new investors discussing that they think there is enough volatility in the Bitcoin market and that their money is at risk because of this volatility. If there was no volatility in the bitcoin market and if bitcoin was a stable coin, would investors have invested here? I put this question to those people who always complain about market volatility.

Whether an investor invests in the DCA investment strategy or invests in any of his own strategies, no one can guarantee that the investor will definitely make a profit after investing in this strategy. However, DCA investment strategy is considered to be a more effective investment strategy than all other investment strategies because this strategy has the opportunity to consistently invest as desired.  

After investing in this strategy, the investor may have to wait for a long time to see good amount of profit. Those who are investing in DCA strategy should assume that they are committed to long term investment and they should maintain investment consistency for a long period of time.

I totally agree to all what you said here, while the DCA accumulating strategy remains the best accumulating strategy, that doesn't make the lumps sum strategy bad, the most important thing is investing when the funds is available, and sticking to your investment without you tempering with it in the future.

For this reason I say Bitcoin is the only trusted coin in which all people can be successful by investing in it in a long-term manner.

The first step in investing is to know about investing first and have a good understanding of what investing is. If a person has a good understanding of investing then his next step in investing is to choose the right coin to invest in. In this case, in choosing the right coin, the investor should look at a few things such as the popularity of this coin, or how the condition of this coin was in the past, how is the current condition, and how many people are trading in this coin every day. An investor can invest his money in that particular coin only after considering all these things about how this coin can go ahead.

I think one of the best coins to invest in is Bitcoin and most investors currently prefer Bitcoin to invest.
However, in investing in Bitcoin, investors are currently finding a particular strategy more effective and that investment strategy is DCA. Basically, in this investment method, any professional person or any low income person can invest from high income person and can maintain the continuity of investment as per their wish. Investing in this way gives investors the opportunity to invest as the market changes, thereby reducing the possibility of investors losing additional money.  

It is mainly for these reasons that this strategy is currently considered to be a very effective strategy.

The most important aspect using the DCA method to invest is that you can be very consistent with your investment because you are just investing with amount you can afford, it doesn't matter what the amount  is but the important thing is that one is investing with ease.

Majority of investors prefer the DCA over the lump sum because it offers more good features, not waiting too long to gather capital before investing at once and it helps maximize profits. The DCA is very reliable for both the shrimps and whales, the shrimps don't need to wait for long to gather enough capital to invest at once but can invest in bits on different intervals, according to how their income permits them. For instance, big companies like BlackRock and MicroStrategy are capable of buying bulk bitcoin at once and hold for long-term (lump sum) but not every can do that and that's where the DCA plays a good role, like i said earlier, it offers not just shrimps but all class of investors the opportunity to buy Bitcoin in bits at different intervals, meaning that those who can't afford to buy bulk BTC at once or wait for a long period to gather capital and miss out on different accumulation opportunities would have the chances of accumulating as well through the DCA and maximize their profits and also recover loses during the dip periods. The DCA is a very reliable strategy for all classes of investors and that's why it's vastly preferred by Majority of investors compared to other strategies. However, that doesn't mean that other strategies are not useful too.

[adultcrypto]

Yes, that's right, DCA is not the only investment strategy that always works and is profitable because there are so many investment strategies that can be relied on and it all depends on the habits and comfort in doing it and also finances, some even use several strategies to get more profit in the long term or change it when the market situation changes and all still aims to generate good profits. DCA is indeed very reliable and also very friendly for beginners and also those who have financial or income limitations, because they cannot buy Bitcoin in large quantities and DCA is the best solution of all that and only by making periodic purchases according to ability, the Bitcoin owned will be collected and become large in the long term. So whatever the strategy is as long as it can generate profit in my opinion it doesn't matter because Bitcoin is the best choice in any investment strategy as long as it is done properly and correctly and also comfortable in doing it.

I just had a small experience of how DCA benefits you. We read too much about DCA but experiencing it is a different thing. I created a post for this in Bitcoin section and this is the link.

In summery, if you have something which you accumulate in DCA or in Lump Sum manner then better hodl it for long term. As in my case I have a small payments that came in the form of DCA and went up to 40% in less then a year. No bank is giving such a heavy profit. It's also a blessing in disguise that you have Bitcoin in your custody and you forgot them (without forgetting the keys).

Talking about keys, I've seen the new trend of CEX like Binance and Bitget incorporating seeming decentralized wallets into their deliverables and those wallets have keys, just like Reputable decentralized wallets too. I would love to warn anyone who surely loves his coins not to in any way preserve his coins in CEX wallets, Do not be deceived, they have control over your coins if you leave it in their wallets.

It is advisable to use Reputable ones which are open source like Electrum, Blue wallet e.tc to have more controls over your coins. Anything from CEX is not decentralized, no matter how they paint their story, BE WISE.

Perhaps they are gradually realising that more and more people now prefer holding their bitcoin in their personally wallets so they are also trying to create something that will make such people feel at home in keeping their money in what look like self-custodian wallets but may really not be it. As long as the wallet was created via the centralized exchanges, I will not be confident to trust it neither will I advise anyone to trust such wallets. The question to ask is what will be the gain of those CEX promoting such wallets through their platforms?

We should always remember the phrase " not your keys, not your coins" and like I said before, so long as the wallets are made through the CEX, I will never trust whatever private key they give.

If you are a consistent DCA method user, you will always want to keep buying Bitcoin no matter the current market price of Bitcoin, I do not know how some people run their own DCA but if you buy weekly and you happen to miss in some cases when you don't have the funds to buy you can decide to use a double of the amount you use to cover up the times you missed the previous week. You may not meet the price of Bitcoin the same way it was in the last time you missed out but being comfortable in your investment is the reason for choosing the DCA method cause you will always have a good reason to keep buying knowing that you have got nothing to lose if you are consistent with the method. Do not regret when you miss a few weeks just try to double the amount you buy the next week and keep accumulating as much as possible.

[Promocodeudo]

Inasmuch as most investors that are financially capable may likely be nterested in buying Bitcoin at once than buying by parts I still believe there is still need to know the best strategies that will be more favourable because if one is equip with the right information it gives more confident and determination to make more significant investment.
DCA strategies is more leverage to accumulate Bitcoin and I think most investor will consider it more preferable.

Buddy what matters is buying and not waiting for price dip of whatsoever or targeting the market when it favours individual investor, if you're financially capable of investing a huge amount once in Bitcoin then go ahead to do it but it doesn't stop you from doing the weekly or monthly DCA as you want but the major thing is as an investor that has the ability to invest in a lump sum at anything you have more chances of having a larger portfolio very fast while DCA will also be nice but your acumulation through this process is gradual and will only be bulky overtime although it depends on the amount you're DCAing with.
Buddy I want you to understand that most investors that buy with large amount at once also understand what it meant to accumulate with DCA method but the chose to buy like that for a reason, there reason may be as a result of not wanting to use the money for another thing if kept idle for a long time, many of these individuals still prcatice DCA method because buying in large sum doesn't stop anyone from continuously investing after all the amount being invested may not satisfy the investors level of satisfaction.

Yea most investors will prefer Bitcoin acumulation using DCA method but that's only when they don't have all it takes to buy with large amount, buddy both process are very good but it depends on what individual investor will be able to afford as far as such individual doesn't wait to buy at a perceived dip as they think.

I agree with you that if you miss out a week from your regular DCA purchase, there's no need for regrets but look for a way how to make it double when next you have the funds to double it in order to cover up for the missed one. This is because sometimes our expenses are not always equal, it can be higher sometimes and lower sometimes. If you come across an increase in expenses that might devour almost your discretionary income, you can skip buying bitcoin that week and make it up whenever you have a low expenses week or month.

Sometimes, it might be that when you are expecting your income was delayed, that doesn't mean that you when it comes, you ignore buying double. I could remember when I got paid a week late than usual and I use weekly DCA to accumulate bitcoin. The next week that I got paid, I immediately bought double the amount I am supposed to have bought for that week to cover up the missed one. Everything is just you planning and figuring out things based on your own financial situation playing around you at that moment.

My friend was in a remote area without an internet and couldn't buy bitcoin for two weeks when he was over there. When he returned, he came to me and explained what happened, I only advised him to DCA for the weeks he couldn't have access to the internet and he was cool with the answer he got. He was lucky because he had the funds intact. You can also frontload your investment if you know such situation can play out and have the funds to frontload. This shows your commitment and sacrifice to be consitent and persistent to keep your bitcoin accumulation ongoing.

That is the true nature of investor that never wants to miss chances as this kinds of investment been consistent and persistent in making use of this process of continuous buying using lumps and DCA, when dip and even at ATH always have deep balance in the market because it has become a habit of buy at any given time the course of looking at one particular strategy or even targeting a period will not move or affect such investor, this life style of buying both huge inform of lumps sum and  DCA is a good move both work perfectly well and stand a better chance of positioning such investor into loss free and reduce it's procrastinating of when to buy.

So to avoid any uncertainty in regard to dip they see DCA as precautionary way of buying Bitcoin than lump sum which requires buying Bitcoin at once with the capital at hand without considering whether the price will dip or not.

The truth is that if an investor see's lump very risky because of the volatility of bitcoin I don't think the DCA method of investing will be seen in a different way because these are different strategies of investing but the same market. I do not agree with you why you think people don't prefer lump strategies because of the volatility  of bitcoin,  even in the DCA method volatility still happens. People just prefer to use DCA because it is straightforward and stress free. The most important aspect using the DCA method to invest is that you can be very consistent with your investment because you are just investing with amount you can afford, it doesn't matter what the amount  is but the important thing is that one is investing with ease.

even though buying using the DCA method or doing lump sum is still going to be in the same market, the opinion he shared is actually true because a lot of people prefer the DCA method to the lump sum approach because it gives them the chance of investing gradually and somehow reduces the risk of lump summing at a very high rate and having to wait too long before expecting some sort of returns since for the most part, a lot of them are short term investors.

your thought on the other hand is equally valid because the same risk that comes with lump sum also comes with the DCA method and if you really consider it, if you have the means to lump sum and you are able to do that, you save yourself from being bothered about staying disciplined in consistent buying while using the DCA method since you only have to make one purchase at a time. as long as you can work with that, you can just wait till you are able to do or just buy at whatever time you have the means of buying while being less bothered because you already have some amount of bitcoin stack you are holding.

comparing lump summing to the use of the DCA sometimes looks like one is looking for excuses to give as to why one is not investing because at the end, we all know what we have in our hands and knows what strategy is suitable for us. whatever strategy you are able to adopt that gives you the best amount of returns and helps you get to your investment goal faster enough, then it is only best to stick to it rather than looking out for an ideal strategy that doesnnt even exist.

This advice above applies mostly to a newbie who has little or no bitcoin, he should jump right in and start accumulating bitcoin Immediately. But A situation whereby someone has already acquired enough BTC and has either reached their accumulation target or be well off like 3/4 of it(For example someone who has the target of accumulating 12 BTC and has 9BTC already), that person can give him/herself the leverage to only acquire at dips provided he is still buying and not selling yet until his holding period elapses. Such a person is not a newbie anymore and understands the accumulation game properly and as such can be at liberty to employ whatever accumulation strategy that suits him to reach his accumulation target or continue accumulating past his target as the case may be.

He might choose to gather his funds supposed for DCA and be saving it separately in an account until the bear season when there is a reasonable dip and he pulls out the saved funds and lump sums to buy more stashes at reduced price and continue with saving his money for the next DIP. I think that's still reasonable enough to wait until when the market favours him to buy more at reduced prices.

We shouldn't invest in Bitcoin unless we have paid off all the high interest debt, cover all our monthly needs, have at least 3-6 months of fiat in an emergency fund to cover unexpected life expenses.

Lump-sum is  simply not for those without upfront capital, lump sum is definitely for those who have a significant amount of money available and can invest it all at once without impacting their cash flow. It can be a powerful strategy if you're in a good financial position. Lump sum shouldn't be seen as a risky way to invest but rather as an aggressive way to invest in Bitcoin. It allows you to capitalise on potential market growth right away, especially if you are confident in the long term potentials  of Bitcoin.

Know your capabilities during investment if you can lump-sum then it alright, but if you can't due limited capital DCA will be more suitable, by investing smaller amounts consistently. Understanding your financial capability and choosing the right strategy will help in your investment journey

The value of investment lies in its long-term nature. If you think long-term, the volatility of Bitcoin has no impact at all. In long-term planning, a lump sum strategy requires more capital. Many people prefer investing in a lump sum strategy. Yes, with a lump sum strategy, you cannot enter the market at every moment, as you can with DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging). If you consider the lump sum strategy risky because of market volatility, you're completely wrong. The price difference between Bitcoin today and in 10 years might be huge. For this reason, a $10k or $15k volatility doesn't matter.

You may prefer DCA because you can determine the amount of your investment according to your capacity, enter the market at any moment, and by investing small amounts, you can also build a larger portfolio. Due to the simplicity and stress-free nature of the DCA strategy, it's definitely something you can prefer. Personally, I also prefer DCA, but that doesn't mean I try to disprove other methods. If you think DCA is only for those who don't have significant capital or the ability to buy in large quantities, you're wrong. Many large companies (like MicroStrategy, Tesla, Block, and others) that don't have a shortage of capital also prefer and use DCA. Especially for a newcomer, it's advisable to manage investments through DCA at first. After gaining experience, one can adopt other strategies based on their personal preference.

I totally agree to all what you said here, while the DCA accumulating strategy remains the best accumulating strategy, that doesn't make the lumps sum strategy bad, the most important thing is investing when the funds is available, and sticking to your investment without you tempering with it in the future.

You can lump sum while you DCA, what someone sees as lumpsum  is another person's DCA, lumpsum is just in the sense of buying at once with all funds available at the moment for investment instead of spreading it . When it comes to DCA, an investor can still decide to lumpsum as Buying Dip, there're some dips that could be missed forever , if  an investor spot a particular DIP and he's convinced about it them he can lumpsum  as there's no point DCAing above the dip when you could have just buy the Dip. This is a choice left to be determined by the investor though, buying dips can still be done as DCA just that the amount can be increased unlike the normal amount used for interval purchases, if the Buyer is so convinced then he can just buy at once. For example,Last year 48k was a good example, some investors might  believed it will never comeback to 48k , causing them to take the lumpsum into consideration at that point by buying the dip maybe ( and that was indeed true  ).

Talking about keys, I've seen the new trend of CEX like Binance,Butget and OKX incorporating seeming decentralized wallets into their deliverables and those wallets have keys, just like Reputable decentralized wallets too. I would love to warn anyone who surely loves his coins not to in any way preserve his coins in CEX wallets, Do not be deceived, they have control over your coins if you leave it in their wallets.

It is advisable to use Reputable ones which are open source like Electrum, Blue wallet e.tc to have more controls over your coins. Anything from CEX is not decentralized, no matter how they paint their story, BE WISE.

There are many cases where centralised exchanges have seized accounts of users for different reasons like not doing KYC etc. If you have your coins in centralised exchange then there are bright chances that you may be stripped off from your coins without any reason, notice and warning.

Storing your coins in decentralised wallet should be the prime rule which all of us must follow. It's not very difficult to secure your decentralised wallet if you have done basic measures like not securing your seed online. The real advantage of securing your coins in decentralised wallet is that even if you access them after years they will be there. You are the boss of your coins only if they are in your decentralised wallet. Happens with me, I forgot I have bitcoins in my wallet but once I access my wallet after a gap of months I found them as it is. I don't think that will be the case if I have stored my wallets in centralised exchange.

Yes, it must be discussed so that we can know about them, what is their ability and if they grow well, what benefit will we get.  This will also increase our knowledge but some people want to understand everything from Bitcoin only because they think that Bitcoin is the only coin that will succeed.  Their thinking is also correct, but only until other coins can grow themselves.  But in the future, no one knows, maybe a coin will grow so much that it will also reduce Bitcoin.  This work is also a bit difficult so many intelligent boys become weak in understanding while working in it.

Since you are a newbie, I will not take your comment seriously because it simply means you don't know what you are really talking about, but I will advise you to do a little research so that you will know that there is nothing that is comparable to bitcoin in this space. If you intend to invest your money in shitcoins, you are only wasting your time and effort because you will end up losing your money at the end. Have you heard about the Luna crash? Where a lot of investors lost their money, and with the sad news, some investors even lost their lives because they couldn't bear it. I know there's no investment that doesn't come with a risk, but when it comes to bitcoin investment, your chances of losing your money are less, and that is one of the reasons some people choose to stick only with bitcoin investment. People don't see bitcoin as what will succeed because it has already succeeded, and that is why so many countries are planning to buy bitcoin and use it as a reserve asset.

I'm not sure why qurbanshah02 is suggesting other things when there's nothing in this topic that compares Bitcoin to other investments. I see he is not new to this thread; perhaps his mind was not here while saying that, and on this thread, we talk about the way to concentrate on our accumulation, we aren't concerned if other coins do well in the future, we just concentrate on our holdings and believe in Bitcoin because it has been successful for many years.

Many people believe that other coins will perform the same as Bitcoin, however, at this time and in the near future, an investor will choose Bitcoin over other coins. Bitcoin investing is risky, but our chances of losing money are smaller than some newbies believe. Nobody wants to lose money while investing, which is why it is best to focus on Bitcoin accumulation utilizing the DCA methods to prevent any stories of losing money when investing in areas aside from Bitcoin.

It is true that storing coins on centralized exchanges carries a lot of risk. Exchange rules and KYC requirements can change, and your account can be closed or your funds frozen for any reason. This is a big concern for many users.

However, storing coins through decentralized wallets is actually much safer and you have full control over it. By keeping your wallet seed phrase and pass secure, your funds are completely safe, and you can access your coins at any time, even after many years. This is much safer and more reliable than on an exchange.

However, if you ever lose/forget your seed phrase and pass, your funds will be completely frozen. Or if someone else knows your seed phrase and pass, they can take all your funds without your knowledge. So always keep your seed phrase and pass private, and keep it safe, so that your funds will be safe forever.

I write down my seed phrase and pass in a diary, and keep it in one of my lockers, and only I have the key to it, and no one knows where my seed phrase and pass are, not even my family. This keeps my funds very safe.

I totally agree with what you said I was just responding to someone who talked about spend money on bitcoin which led to the talk of investing in bitcoin. And anyway I'm new to this thread that why I talked about trading. I also say that bitcoin is a success coin and nothing else is as hard and successful as it. But I talked about other coins because it also mentioned poverty and the poor can't afford Bitcoin that why I said there is no coin that can succeed like Bitcoin. If possible the poor can invest their money there. Although you can invest money in Bitcoin you also know that the poor do not have enough money to buy even half a Bitcoin.

Keeping your coins in a decentralized wallet is much more controllable, but it depends on the security of your passphrase and password. Keeping your coins in a CEX can be risky, but you must be extremely careful.

Keeping your coins in a centralized exchange (CEX) means that you are losing full control of your coins. Of course, we would never want to give access to our hard-earned wealth to someone we have never met. So how can we decide to use it in a centralized exchange? Bitcoin is where the holders have the most passion. Which we want to keep for ourselves under any circumstances. If you keep your coins in a CEX, your account may be closed or frozen if their rules or KYC change. Which simply means you lose your coins.

On the other hand, by using a decentralized wallet, you can maintain full control of your coins. If your coins are in a decentralized wallet, you can access them at any time, even years later. If you keep your passphrase and password for a decentralized wallet secure, your coins will always be safe. However, if you lose or forget your seed phrase, you will no longer be able to access your coins. Also, if you tell someone else your seed phrase and password, they can take your coins. I write my seed phrase in a journal and keep it safe in a locker, so that no one can find it. I keep my coins in a decentralized wallet because I know they will be safe. Because I will have complete control over my coins.

Remember, with a decentralized wallet, you own your coins, while with a CEX, you control them.
