Buy the DIP, and HODL!

[Tungbulu]

Bitcoin Investment is all about for discipline in other to succeed if not you will just be at the fence watching, without a normal source which I think you are talking about steady income, you can still have your discretionary income if you are serious about investing into bitcoin, you can get it from any job you do that fetches you income ,even if quarterly, or annual job as long as you have made up your mind and are serious about it, if you can't get discretionary income from your present income is to look for a supportive source of income to make you a bit stable and invest, bitcoin Investment using the dca strategy does not need much money just %10 only whenever you have funds on you and since the t is for a long-term it will be beneficial to you, and if you don't have money to continue your investment, you can pause until you start having money and then continue from where you stop .

I agree, the truth is this makes me remember that on the Spanish board I said something like that and I didn't know that leaving some discretionary income to buy on the dip was a variant of the DCA method, because the DCA method consists of buying daily, weekly, monthly whatever the quota of money to accumulate, I thought that some other income to buy on the dip was another strategy or method and no, it turns out that it is the variant, but it is the safest way to do intelligent DCA work.

I would not consider holding aside money to buy on the dip to be a variant to DCA, even though buying on dips could be a way to supplement DCA.

Buying on dips is not a variant of DCA because it is different. It does not guarantee buying right away and as soon as you have money, but instead it conditions the buys for if the price dips.

Buying on the dip may or may not happen, since in order for buying on dip to take place the BTC price has to go down to the targeted price level in order for the buy(s) to execute.  If the BTC price does not go down enough to reach the targeted amount(s), then the buy(s) do not execute.

DCA can be designed to buy as soon as you have money coming in, and it is not conditioned on price changes.

DCA and Dip buying are mostly mentioned together that some folks might even feel as though they are the same or that one is a variant of the other, but just as you’ve rightly and vividly noted, they are both two different concepts and approaches which is equally backed with different mindsets. The fundamentals of the DCA strategy is consistency, it has no business with timing the market or waiting for DIP before an investor deploys his funds to buy Bitcoin, rather waiting around and targeting a particular price range, the DCA strategy prioritizes steady accumulation. One of the main advantages or strengths of the DCA strategy is the fact that it takes away waiting, hesitation and any form of guesswork. As long as the money is there, all you gotta do is put it in based on the schedule you choose that suits perfectly well with your individual factors, regardless of the price. Most investors has landed themselves in such a messy situation simply because they felt they could and attempted to outsmart short term market volatility, but with the DCA approach, you get the chance to participate in the market with having to put yourself into any form of pressure.

Although on the other hand, we could consider the dig buying strategy as opportunistic by design. The strategy is quite conditional and thereby could potentially limit you from being actively involved in Bitcoin, simply because you’re waiting for the best entry point. And one thing most people don’t really understand about DIPs is the fact that that expected DIp may likely not come when you’re expecting it to, while you’re busy waiting, the price might be busy climbing and climbing and you’ll just be holding that cash and this here is a a major trade off.

So yeah, you’re totally right , DCA is more about certainty and consistency, while  buying on dips is more about attempting to capitalize on conditional opportunities. They are not the same and shouldn’t be treated as one but one can actually supplement the other which kinda shows a balanced and strategic approach.

Putting in  discretionary income into your Bitcoin investment dosent automatically guarantee an investor more earning. See ehn Bitcoin is not like some kindd of savings accounts where you keep putting in money without having a clear plan or strategy.

By using your discretionar income for your investment capital, you are safe at least in a way of almost no need of touching your investment capital by need of any regular spendings, bills and even emergencies as you already reserved your income for those things in other financial parts.

This will help you holding your bitcoin strongly for long-term investment and with Bitcoin, it has been demonstrated by its history that a long time (counted in years) of holding, a better ROI an investor can achieve.

Off course before one will start Bitcoin investment journey they ought to have a mental picture of how they want their investment to look like because you can not just wake up and said you want to start investing in Bitcoin. Everyone is investing to have a portion of Bitcoin and also to make profit in the long run so it is something that one should be diligent about.

If someone have a good discretionary income and they are not making or utilizing it well it is same thing as someone ( investor) who doesn't have, we are the one that will make our investment look great by our action.

I believe all strategy are clear it is just the way we perceive things that matters though DCA method is very good in the sense that everyone can invest using it.

It’s pertinent that one who’s desirous to go into bitcoin investment to get started immediately as far as he’s able to figure out a discretionary income to use and accumulate and invest in bitcoin and hold for the long term purpose first. When you’re into something as volatile as bitcoin then you’ll be able to learn more about it and have a more clear understanding on how to make important investments decisions which will further improve your investment. A clear picture of how your investment should look like is for you to have the long term investment goal mentality.

''He that fails to plan, plans to fail'' , it's an established fact. A newbie or an investor who just got up and enters into Bitcoin accumulation without proper thought, views and plans of how his investment journey or process would look like is already planning to fail because he wouldn't be in charge of such investment.

However, it first starts with interest to accumulate, because not everyone will invest in Bitcoin. Having gotten interested, your income is considered. You look at your available discretionary, after settlement of all basic needs and/or expenses. It is at this point you decide the strategy that you will use to acquire Bitcoin, either a lump sum, buy the dip or the DCA strategy. All of it can be used to acquire Bitcoin, but then, your available discretionary at the point will help you determine the best strategy to employ that will suit your investment at the moment. While a high income earner with a bigger discretionary income can for for buying the lump sum, and /or buying the Dip, a low income earner, with little discretionary income will rather go for the DCA strategy which allows him acquire Bitcoin slowly.

 Talking about the importance of emergency funds, Such investor accumulating Bitcoin using the DCA strategy can also build up his emergency funds alongside side his investment journey from his discretionary income gradually while also looking for other means to improve income in other to improve his investment generally. The emergency funds no doubts helps to sustain and give you strength through your journey as it will survive you through lives rough period, making you not to tamper with your Bitcoin holdings and allow you Hodl for long.

You didn't include buying with DCA to be used by a high income earners? It is mostly advisable to use the dca as a newbie investor even as high income earner than using the lump sum or buying the dip because the DCA strategy will work you down the road of understanding the market. A high income earners can also use the DCA strategy, you need to understand that DCA strategy is not limited to only those with a little discretionary income but it can use by all levels of investors and secondly anyone can take advantage of buying the dip too provided that they planned for it.

Buying the dip is never a bad idea as long as you are not waiting for it before buying, you can be buying regularly through the dca accumulating strategy weekly or monthly, but once their is a strong dip in the market, you may decide to buy aggressively only if you have a reserve fund to do it, but if you don't have a reserve funds in place to take advantage of the dip, their is no point getting worked up or trouble about it, just continue your dca accumulating strategy and this time try to set up a reserve funds because the dip will surely come again in the future, but waiting for it before buying is a very big mistake any Bitcoin Investor will ever do to himself, because waiting for a dip before buying will make him miss a whole lot of buying opportunities that would have made him add more unit of Bitcoin to his stash if he had been buying and accumulating regardless of it price.

Maintaining the right mindset is of great importance in Bitcoin investment, the market is volatile, so you have to start with small amounts and learn slowly, as a result, your Bitcoin holdings will continue to accumulate and you will continue to gain real experience, so you will continue to move forward in both directions. It is important to create your own strategy step by step, over time, with patience and in the long term, but those who enter the market only thinking about quick profits are often disappointed. So here you have to set long-term goals, Because its volatility is its real potential, so don't be unduly afraid of it, rather you have to maintain a long-term mindset with patience, it will not make you rich quickly, but if you hold it effectively in the long term, your future financial future will have a good chance of achieving great success.

To invest in Bitcoin, you definitely need a sensible income, why can't you invest and move forward if you have a mirror and don't have a good source of income. To invest in Bitcoin, you definitely have to be wealthy. A low-income person can invest in Bitcoin if he has the mindset and desire to invest. That's why it's most important to invest in Bitcoin according to the DCA method, because the DCA method is easy for any person and investing in Bitcoin is most important for him to further secure his future through income.

As soon as I think you are wrong here, you don't need to have a sensible income before you can invest in Bitcoin, all you just need is a discretionary income, money left after all basic needs have been met, once you you can figure out your discretionary income from your source, it doesn't matter how small it is, you are good to go.
And take note that you are terribly wrong to say that to invest in Bitcoin you definitely have to be wealthy, Bitcoin investment is open to all including the rich and the poor, as long as you have a discretionary income to get started.

Waiting for dips is like doing technical analysis and wait for good time and price for entries. It's very different and opposite with core purposes of Dollar Cost Averaging strategy: To eliminate all technical analysis; to get rid of emotional and psychological effects on timing the market, finding good or best price for entry.

You can still buy dips without necessarily waiting, I believe DCA and dip buying can co-exist without stopping your regular buys.  You can always share your DCA amount into 5 parts and maintain your consistency with 4 parts and continue saving the 1 party consistently until your desired dip surfaces and you lump sum on the dip with already accumulated funds for it and if the desired dip doesn't come by, you buy up with the saved funds or use it to increase your aggressiveness for a while.

The reason that discretionary income involves money that you can afford to lose because you make a choice.

Snip

You clearly explained what discretionary income is money you can freely choose how to spend. This freedom makes people choose to invest buy things or save. However every choice has consequence: if you spend all your money on expensive habits now you might regret it later when you have no savings. We need to find balance between enjoying life now and investing for future. For example putting some money into Bitcoin is choice that might lead to growth unlike just saving cash which loses value over time. Ultimately these small choices control our financial future.

People work so hard just to earn money, that is, investing money is the center or purpose of physical and mental labor, but there is only one thing, that is to earn money. Just as we have to work physically and mentally to earn money, we should also think about how we are spending money. We have money now, so if we continue to spend money without planning for the future, then when my income will not be the same, then we may face financial problems. It is always wise to think about the future, a person is earning a good amount of money now, so he is living a good life, but he is not planning for the future, so his future is uncertain, but in addition to earning a good amount of money now, he is saving some money for the future and investing some money, but they are showing wisdom and they will have a good support in the future that even if a financial crisis arises, they will be able to deal with that crisis with the money saved, as well as use their previous investments for any future need.

Your statement seems to be very misleading, because you’re sounding all confused, well
I don’t really know what you mean by sensible income, but to my understanding you just need a discretionary income to invest in bitcoin and decide to hold for a long term interval.

However you don’t need a good source of income, what you should endeavor to have is a discretionary income and this money that could be used for whatever purpose but you have to decide to invest that money into bitcoin, and you don’t have to be wealthy to invest into bitcoin, you can start investing into bitcoin little by little on a regular basis and that would be more efficient.

But I must say that you’re mixing things up and you sound confused with your statement for saying you need to be wealthy to invest into bitcoin, and latar saying that a low income earner can still invest into bitcoin, well I must say that you sound confused.

Always not a good idea if they think that way. Knowing that the market is unpredictable so for sure that those people cannot able to track on when those dips would really happen.

They are wasting their time for waiting for that what they called perfect timing they think and most provably that they are just slowing down their accumulation then provably doing that thing is unsustainable especially if they see something scary scenario on market that can possibly affect their decision to buy some Bitcoins.

I'd choose not to take any technical situations since for me buying Bitcoin directly at whatever price show up is ideal especially if you are doing DCA with Bitcoin.

This your illustration is entirely not a bad idea, but I think that if you have a reserve funds in place while buying regularly with your dca accumulating strategy, you can easily buy a huge chunk of Bitcoin during the dip with your reserve funds if you have it in place.
The only problem and where i tend to have problem with most Bitcoin investors is that they wait for it and stop their accumulation entirely, which i think will limit them in accumulating or reaching their Bitcoin over accumulation status early.

They don't need to track anything, simply setting buy orders in exchanges can help them keep track of it and execute when the price cuts across such price.

They are wasting their time for waiting for that what they called perfect timing they think and most provably that they are just slowing down their accumulation then provably doing that thing is unsustainable especially if they see something scary scenario on market that can possibly affect their decision to buy some Bitcoins.

You're missing the point here and I'm doubting that you really read the write-up you quoted. There was no indication of stopping your consistent DCA buys in it, instead the suggestion there was to invest 4/5 of your buy amounts and save up 1/5 separately for buying the dip when they occur and if they don't, put the saved funds back to work by using it to increase your aggressiveness in buying Bitcoin for as long as it can last

Better still, you can increase the allocation size of your DCA if you sense a dip and if their is available of funds on your side as an investor. But if the dip still doesn't come, you can revert back to your original lot size, continuing from where you stopped. For me, that's one strategy I person use when the need arises, because I don't have the luxury of waiting for the dip as it can come unpredictably, so my DCA keeps me going smoothly till their a perceived dip to leverage on.

The only problem and where i tend to have problem with most Bitcoin investors is that they wait for it and stop their accumulation entirely, which i think will limit them in accumulating or reaching their Bitcoin over accumulation status early.

The very idea of an Average as used when describing dollar cost average is that you are going to be at the DIP, at some peak and some relatively middle price range in the process of your accumulation. all combined together makes up your total dollar cost average because if for instance you are buying every week and you intend doing so for a period of five years, during that period, you are going to experience everything that comes with bitcoin and within that period, you are going to buy the DIP which is a better way of buying during the DIP rather than waiting for so long just because you want to buy the DIP.

A four year investment plan for instance, is a long period of time that allows you to buy your bitcoin using a combination of all the investment strategy. waiting for a comfortable DIP before buying is a waste of time and from how the price of bitcoin has remained relatively stagnant for a long period of time, it tells of how long you might likely continue waiting for a DIP that might instead of coming result to an increase in the value of bitcoin which will only mean that you have to wait for a longer period of time.

[MainIbem]

This your illustration is entirely not a bad idea, but I think that if you have a reserve funds in place while buying regularly with your dca accumulating strategy, you can easily buy a huge chunk of Bitcoin during the dip with your reserve funds if you have it in place.
The only problem and where i tend to have problem with most Bitcoin investors is that they wait for it and stop their accumulation entirely, which i think will limit them in accumulating or reaching their Bitcoin over accumulation status early.

Some investors really have a misunderstanding concerning that which is why you'll see them wait for the dip to acquire a large chunck of Bitcoin, they don't understand that while doing the DCA you can still acquire a large portion of Bitcoin so far you have the required funds for it intact, you mustn't really wait for Bitcoin to go dipper cause that's a waste of opportunities. The good thing about the DCA is that you can still use that particular strategy and still buy Bitcoin in large portion while on it and a massive dip occurs, Bitcoin investment is not something that's very tough to comprehend.

[Promocodeudo]

You can still buy dips without necessarily waiting, I believe DCA and dip buying can co-exist without stopping your regular buys.  You can always share your DCA amount into 5 parts and maintain your consistency with 4 parts and continue saving the 1 party consistently until your desired dip surfaces and you lump sum on the dip with already accumulated funds for it and if the desired dip doesn't come by, you buy up with the saved funds or use it to increase your aggressiveness for a while.

You have a point here, I think some investors don't understand that DCA method is a strategy of buying Bitcoin in a flexible way since we can buy with this method at all time irrespective of the market status at anytime given time wether during the dip or upsurge this method allows us to break in easily with what we can afford consistently.
Why will anyone even wait in the first place, the risk involved in waiting outrightly for the dip to buy is very much, you can wait and the dip refuse to come when you targeted it, since you don't control the market you can't necessarily say that you know when the dip will come,, so you might be discouraged along the line.

The idea you outlined is good, if an investor insist to buy the dip, the investor can follow the approach you just mentioned, the main thing here is that such investor has started investing already with DCA so to make it very easy for himself to still buy during the dip as he wanted he can go by this method or still he can still decide to have other plans aside the amount he uses for DCA, save it up and my be buy higher in a reduced price during the dip as he has always wanted.
