You still did not do a very good job of fleshing it out, which also gets me to speculate that you are so much caught up in a mindset that whines about the advantages of the rich guy versus the poor guy rather than really attempting to grapple with the trade offs that present themselves based on differing choices of aggressiveness that any one person might have based on his own income and then his choices within how he ends up using his income.
I got your point, The key is how much risk each person is taking relative to their income and how flexible their investment is relative to that risk, and that is the standard that everyone should make their trade offs on. Aggressiveness depends on what percentage of a person's discretionary income is invested, not on the amount of total assets. In that case, a person using 62.5% of discretionary income will be able to make decisions more flexibly with less risk than a person using 100% discretionary income. So, long term low-risk accumulation is a better trade off for the person using 62.5% discretionary income than trying to accumulate more in less time with more risk. Eventually, there are trade offs in every investment decision, but whether the trade off is made wisely is what makes the difference between a successful and a failure investor, isn't it? Investment is not short-term, investment is not something where you invest your entire discretionary income for a few days and then sell it after a few days. Investment is a long-term discipline, where you have to be patient and keep yourself as risk-free as possible. How much you invest will depend on your discretionary income, not your main income. Even if you earn $1M per month, it is not important, what is important is how much money you have left (discretionary money) every month after all expenses. From this discretionary money, you have to prepare the necessary funds. First, the investment fund, then the necessary backup funds. We can increase and decrease the amount of the investment fund as needed. If preparing a backup fund becomes important, then the amount of the investment fund may decrease, if the investment becomes important, then it will increase. However, you have to be careful that you are not making the investment fund risky. The things you mentioned long term investment, patience, backup fund are correct but you didn't get my main point. My point was that investment aggressiveness is measured as a percentage of discretionary income and there is a risk difference between 62.5% vs 100%. But you have shifted the topic here. Not only that, I discussed the trade offs i.e. risk vs flexibility vs accumulation speed but you only gave general investment advice but didn't give a complete analysis of the trade offs discussion, which was the discussion that was basically happening with @JJ. However, your investment concept is simple. You talked about slow investing, in the long term, and only with the money that is left after expenses. That means you explained Bitcoin accumulation through DCA in the long term and also need to keep an emergency fund so that the investment does not become risky. Although here the trade off is investing more vs keeping more backup fund i.e. if one increases, the other decreases.

Surely investment should only come from ones discretionary income, but that isn't enough reason to say that income isn't important, since income happens to be one of the source that folks can realize their discretionary income from... The truth will always be that the size and stability of your income still plays a key role in determining how much discretionary income and(or) backup funds/emergency funds can be realized to ensure the continuity of foks investment... The things you mentioned long term investment, patience, backup fund are correct but you didn't get my main point.

Investing and keeping some backup funds/emergency funds are both very important for ensuring the continuity of folks investment journey.. That why I think that there shouldn't be the need for a trade off, since folks could very well practice balance... By balance, I mean that folks could very well give equal importance/attention in growing your discretionary income( for investment) in such a way that it give you room to consistently invest and also maintain/ strengthen your backup funds/emergency funds...

yes i think that people are free to invest with any amount of discretionary income they have at their disposal, as far as that amount is coming from individuals discretionary income then there shouldnt be too much of a problem. because in bitcoin investment sometimes even when people are dcaing little by little and probably a particular week or month an extra or additional money comes to them and they finished sorting out their basic expenses they can decide to buy a lump sum with that additional cash that comes in for them either as a result of bonus they receive from work, or they win money from lottery or other sources. so its legal to invest with a good amount of cash as far as it is your discretionary income.
People have a choice of investing whatever they want to invest from their discretionary income, and that makes everything balanced because it is a personal choice that is made nd you don't have to bother with what they do with their discretionary income. It is not as if they are spending it on themselves, but rather they are investing, which is one of the best ways that money can be used, you are securing the future. And when they continue to take this idea seriously about their investment, because that is the only way they make things go forward for them, because from the look of things, when it comes to investment, people are always losing ideas, and this is why they need to have knowledge, and from there, options are made available. From the beginning, I have been a preacher of investing because I have seen a lot of potential in this situation, and that is why I encourage people in the little way you can encourage people. I do it because it is always a good opportunity to invest in Bitcoin.

I think a person has complete freedom in their investment, and it is ultimately their own decision which method they will use. Some people are comfortable with DCA only, some want to use lump sum occasionally, and some can even mix the two. My personal opinion is that when extra cash comes in, I think it is more logical to increase the DCA amount a little than to do a lump sum all at once. Because the biggest strength of regular DCA is that it gives the investor a habit, a rhythm, a system. If someone buys regularly every month or week, then he will worry less about market timing, and keep his accumulation process steady. Now let's say a person is buying $50 every week. Suddenly he gets $400 extra. If he wants, he can buy BTC at once with that $400, but that may reduce the focus on his regular buying system and increase the excitement. On the other hand, if he keeps a part of that extra cash and increases his weekly buys from $50 to $100 in the next 8 weeks, then he has used the extra cash at the same time, and his regular disciplined accumulation process remains intact. However, I am not rejecting lump sums completely. If someone really wants to give a part of the extra cash in lump sums, then first half of the lump sum for experimental purposes, and the remaining half as regular DCA. In this, the investor gets some benefit from both sides.

I think a person has complete freedom in their investment, and it is ultimately their own decision which method they will use. Some people are comfortable with DCA only, some want to use lump sum occasionally, and some can even mix the two. Of course, people can do whatever they want, yet you are still describing options in an incomplete and perhaps unrealistic kind of way. Guys can buy bitcoin as soon a the money comes available or they can defer, and there may be many times that guys do not have options to buy with lump sum because they do not have lump sum available. If they don't buy and they just let their cash build up, then I would not call that lump sum. I would call that deferral and a trade off with an attempt to buy the dip. My personal opinion is that when extra cash comes in, I think it is more logical to increase the DCA amount a little than to do a lump sum all at once.
Sure. There is nothing wrong with that approach - even though in that case, there would be time deferral and perhaps hesitancy to get larger forms of price exposure all at once... It may also depend on how much of an irregularity is taking place (how much extra funds have come in?).. If the weekly buys are tending to be $100, and the extra cash that comes in is around $1k, then that has the potential of being around the same size as 10 weekly buys... and surely having more money coming in is not a bad problem to have because the extra money coming in could trigger some incentive for a reassessment of what is being done and if any tweaks need to happen. I frequently mention that the three options include buying the dip.. so whether money is set aside for buying the dip might depend, in part, on how much money had already been put in at the given price, so if an extra $1k came in right now, there could be considerations of buying the dip, yet there could be just a consideration to double the regular DCA for the next 10 week, and if a dip were to occur in the next 10 weeks, then there could still be some of that extra $1k that is still available depending on when the further dip were to happen, and of course, if it were to happen.. and if it were enough of a dip to trigger some desire to use any of that money to buy at that point. There is no exact correct answer, even though there surely can be trade-offs for decisions to buy BTC right away versus deferral for some or all of money that is currently available.. . Because the biggest strength of regular DCA is that it gives the investor a habit, a rhythm, a system. If someone buys regularly every month or week, then he will worry less about market timing, and keep his accumulation process steady. Now let's say a person is buying $50 every week. Suddenly he gets $400 extra. If he wants, he can buy BTC at once with that $400, but that may reduce the focus on his regular buying system and increase the excitement. On the other hand, if he keeps a part of that extra cash and increases his weekly buys from $50 to $100 in the next 8 weeks, then he has used the extra cash at the same time, and his regular disciplined accumulation process remains intact.
However, I am not rejecting lump sums completely. If someone really wants to give a part of the extra cash in lump sums, then first half of the lump sum for experimental purposes, and the remaining half as regular DCA. In this, the investor gets some benefit from both sides.
Ok. Our examples ended up being similar, and surely, I think that you have pointed out ways in which there can be attempts to profit from both systems, and our main dilemma might be considering the ratios in terms of how much to allocate to each.. right away, versus deferral... another thing is that when we receive a lump sum, we might be inspired to reconsider how much money we currently have available in our back up funds, and even in your example, there could be an outcome in which the guy considers that he needs to put an additional $200 into his back up fund, and the receipt of the extra funds ended up providing him a great opportunity to take that action.

Yea, and that's why the DCA strategy of accumulating Bitcoin is always pointed as one of the best since it gives room for such possibility or flexibility in our bitcoin accumulation journey. Am sure if the price of starting bitcoin investment is something static or kept at a very compulsory high amount, so many coiners who have accumulated something tangible though gradually over the years wouldn't have started. But the DCA brings the investment process to simple as it offers begginers easy starting approach to begin.

This is what beginners really need: a way to start investing without significant anxiety, and I think the answer is the DCA strategy. Even if the price of Bitcoin drops, it's no problem because we can actually lower our average when we buy again at a lower price, and so on. So, when Bitcoin rises, even just touching our initial purchase price, we can already see a profit. This is something that must be learned and understood, because the DCA strategy isn't just about accumulating our purchases; it also influences the point at which we can change our average.

These are why investment in Bitcoin is a lot easier because not all investment are like that where you can use any amount you wishes to, as long as it's your discretionary income, and one thing I also love about Bitcoin investment is that you can be investing and accumulating for years without adding any third party to it or anyone knowing about it without you telling them, because other investment doesn't gives you such privacy Bitcoin does. But the key trait that makes every Bitcoin investor successful in his Bitcoin investment journey is consistency in his accumulation over the years, and his ability to hold strong without tempering with it later in the future. So no matter how small your discretionary income is, as long as you are consistent in your accumulation in a period of 10years or more, you are definitely going to achieve something great with your investment.

It is good that someone can invest in bitcoin with any amount that they have, This is why you see bitcoin is one of the fast growing investment right now in the world you cannot start Gold investment with any amount of money you have you need to have a very good amount of money in order to be able to start Gold business but in bitcoin, with the little amount of money you have you can start it and go far, any business or investment that allows you to start with little amount of money is a very good investment or business because it’s grew with you, yes, when you are consistent in bitcoin investment you will succeed, but when you are not consistent in accumulating bitcoin especially when you are accumulating with little amount of money, you will not succeed. Consistency and patience is the key to bitcoin investment success, take it from me.

Yea, and that's why the DCA strategy of accumulating Bitcoin is always pointed as one of the best since it gives room for such possibility or flexibility in our bitcoin accumulation journey. Am sure if the price of starting bitcoin investment is something static or kept at a very compulsory high amount, so many coiners who have accumulated something tangible though gradually over the years wouldn't have started. But the DCA brings the investment process to simple as it offers begginers easy starting approach to begin. When you are using DCA strategy to invest or accumulate bitcoin you can start with any amount of money you have even with one dollar you can start, we are already lucky Bitcoin is divided into unit and so you can buy any amount of bitcoin, you don’t have to wait to have a particular amount of money before you can start accumulating bitcoin, if you can get one dollar every day you can use it to accumulate bitcoin every day and this is the sweetest part of bitcoin investment, it is open to everyone even the low class in the society can invest in bitcoin, as long as you have a discretionary income if one dollar or two dollar is your discretionary income you can use it to invest in bitcoin. You are right but it must not be dollar as any Fiat can be converted to different currency that can enable someone to accumulate Bitcoin but using a dollar is actually a waste of time even though consistentency is the key and the question is how long do you intend to be using a dollar to be accumulating Bitcoin? The fact that we can use any amount doesn't mean someone should use a dollar to accumulate Bitcoin and what do you mean by "Bitcoin is divided into unit? Bitcoin is not divided into unit but rather we can buy in fraction since it may not be possible to accumulate a whole Bitcoin.

You don't have to be making things complicating here, it's true that you must not use the dollar to accumulate Bitcoin, you can use other stable coins aside the Us dollar to accumulate Bitcoin because they are best for spending and investing with, not other volatile alt or shit coin. and what do you mean by "Bitcoin is divided into unit? Bitcoin is not divided into unit but rather we can buy in fraction since it may not be possible to accumulate a whole Bitcoin.
I just think that both of you are still saying the same thing, because he might not be putting the English well, but it's very obvious that he meant what you just explained, because I believe that not everyone here knows how to interact with English properly, since it's not their mother's tongue

I see what you mean regarding how much someone has to spend to get Bitcoin. Of course, a larger investment means more money to work with and the faster someone can grow their holdings. That said, I don’t think we should discourage people from starting small, the most important thing is that the person is building the habit of consistent accumulation and watching the balance slowly grow can be encouraging, even if what they are working with is a small amount. Another thing to clarify is each Bitcoin is made up of a specific number of smaller denominations. Each Bitcoin is divided into 100 million smaller parts called satoshis, so when people buy fractions of Bitcoin, they are actually buying these smaller units, it is designed this way so that it allows people of all different financial situations to buy Bitcoin regardless of how expensive a full Bitcoin becomes. Of course, investing larger amounts will help someone accumulate Bitcoin faster, but still, even a small amount of money and consistent buys can eventually grow into something meaningful, especially for people that are just starting their journey with Bitcoin.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to "non-custodial"

The fact that someone can buy bitcoin with any amount of money is very good, the DCA strategy is what I’m using and it’s working very well for me because I use any amount to accumulate weekly and I’m not in any kind of pressure I’m just accumulating slow and steady. Low income earners can always invest in bitcoin as long as they have discretionary income no matter how small it is, if not for this I’m sure a lot of people won’t have invested in bitcoin, let’s just imagine that if you want to invest or buy bitcoin you most buy 1 bitcoin, it will be very difficult for a lot of people to invest, but since is divided into unit it makes it very easy for people to invest in bitcoin. DCA strategy makes it very easy for everyone.
These are why investment in Bitcoin is a lot easier because not all investment are like that where you can use any amount you wishes to, as long as it's your discretionary income, and one thing I also love about Bitcoin investment is that you can be investing and accumulating for years without adding any third party to it or anyone knowing about it without you telling them, because other investment doesn't gives you such privacy Bitcoin does. But the key trait that makes every Bitcoin investor successful in his Bitcoin investment journey is consistency in his accumulation over the years, and his ability to hold strong without tempering with it later in the future. So no matter how small your discretionary income is, as long as you are consistent in your accumulation in a period of 10years or more, you are definitely going to achieve something great with your investment. I agree with all your points Barikui1 - except your assertion of privacy. Privacy is not complete and/or natural without guys taking some extra precautions and perhaps even being more technically advanced, and the amount of privacy that any of us might have in our holding bitcoin and/or transacting in it may well depend upon where you get your coin and then how well you might keep your transactions separate from one another in the event that some of them might be traceable to you.. so if you get bitcoin through some exchange in which you had KYC'd, there might be several hops in which there is a presumption in which the coins are yours, and sure maybe it is not a BIG deal if the amounts are relatively small, and sometimes the amount of privacy that you seek might depend on your perception of an attack vector (who you consider as your possible threat - even years down the road if you might not have plausible deniability in regards to which coins you are alleged to own). I think that one of the practices that some folks have is to keep separate categories of coins in different wallets, so perhaps they would have all of their transactions in a certain category in a certain wallet (or account within the wallet), and then other transactions of another category in another wallet (or perhaps separate account within their wallet), and they may also engage in forms of coin control so that they have coin they consider to be more separated from their personal ID as compared with others, and then perhaps other coins that might have various hops in which the coins may have been connected to their identification yet at some point there may be several hops that create enough ambiguity in order to justify a considerable amount of plausible deniability in regards to whether those cons are associated with us or not. It seems to me that we have rights to privacy in our transactions for a variety of reasons, yet surely our privacies in regards to our transactions is being attacked, so we need to attempt to make several safe guards, and all of the tools in bitcoin are not necessarily easy to use, even though we can spends some time attempting to learn, including learning to self-custody, run our own node and have transactions go through our node, and intermingle lightning network and other privacy enhancing practices that are not necessarily fool proof but still better than presuming that we have more privacy than we have. Some techniques are more advance than others, so we don't necessarily need to learn all of the techniques in the beginning, and even if we are building up our stack slowly, it might take a bit of time before we start to put our bitcoin on private wallets, and sure some people get started with private wallets sooner than others, which may well relate to how much bitcoin they own and/or how much they had accumulated.. and whether they started out with some BIG buys or if they started out building up their bitcoin holdings over a longer period of time with many small transactions.

The fact that we can use any amount doesn't mean someone should use a dollar to accumulate Bitcoin and what do you mean by "Bitcoin is divided into unit? Bitcoin is not divided into unit but rather we can buy in fraction since it may not be possible to accumulate a whole Bitcoin. I think that you are getting into a bit of a tangent Showlove01, and fighting over largely inconsequential details. Of course, we refer to the dollar when buying bitcoin and/or trading pairs with bitcoin, yet of course, individuals can transact with their bitcoin to buy or sell with any fiat or even for goods and/or services. So don't get distracted by our reference to the dollar, even if you might use a different fiat... or maybe you are transacting bitcoin with goods/services. Also likely the more natural unit of the bitcoin is the satoshi rather than a whole bitcoin, which of course, each bitcoin has 100 million satoshis within it and even the lightning network has divided the satoshi into 1,000 subparts (even though lightning has to be resolved on-chain back to the satoshis as the smallest unit recognized on the bitcoin blockchain). Surely there have been several recent posts in this thread from guys proclaiming that any size transaction can be made, which is largely true in the theoretical sense and even in reality if a counter-party can be found to make such transaction, yet at the same time, there tends to be minimum transaction sizes that counter-parties might be willing to make for guys to buy/sell bitcoin.. such as maybe some exchanges might have $5 minimums, and even if you meet a live person, they might say that they have minimums of several hundred or even several thousand dollars before they will transact (referring to giving fiat for bitcoin - yet if they are selling goods and/or services they might not have minimums, which yeah, we likely should be seeking out and supporting anyone who is willing to transact in bitcoin just to get into habit of using it). At the same time, on the lightning network there are abilities to transact for very small amounts even a few satoshis at a time.. including some tipping apps that allow that, too.. Nonetheless, in practicality if guys are exploring various ways to source their coins and considering the frequency of their purchases while they are in the process of building up their bitcoin stack size, they may also need to account for the various costs of transaction fees and/or minimums.. so there may be some practicality to making sure to have a certain amount like $10 or even $100 and maybe if a guy is buying on an exchange maybe he lets his exchange amount of bitcoin held go up to several hundred dollars worth of value before he transfers it to his private wallet. You are right but it must not be dollar as any Fiat can be converted to different currency that can enable someone to accumulate Bitcoin but using a dollar is actually a waste of time even though consistentency is the key and the question is how long do you intend to be using a dollar to be accumulating Bitcoin? The fact that we can use any amount doesn't mean someone should use a dollar to accumulate Bitcoin You don't have to be making things complicating here, it's true that you must not use the dollar to accumulate Bitcoin, you can use other stable coins aside the Us dollar to accumulate Bitcoin because they are best for spending and investing with, not other volatile alt or shit coin. By the way, I don't have any problem with the idea of transacting in various shitcoins, and surely if someone says that they want to transact, but they will ONLY transact with some shitcoin, then sure, there may not be a problem in temporarily holding such shitcoin, so for example, if we have a wallet (or a way) to receive some shitcoin, then we may well consider the best and/or fastest way to transition out of that shitcoin and perhaps to put the value into bitcoin, and sure of course attempting to account for any fees that might be involved.. so perhaps if someone says that they will ONLY transact with a certain shitcoin that they hold, then we might agree but then increase the amount that we want to receive in order to account for the inconvenience and perhaps any extra costs that we perceive in our getting that value into bitcoin., if that might be our purpose to get the value moved into bitcoin.

1) Self-Custody is a right. Resist being labelled as: "non-custodial" or "un-hosted." 2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized. 3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k
