Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?

[Baki202]

For those who are overly concerned about the market, using DCA is even more necessary, DCA strategy is the only one that avoids the negative effects of market volatility, when you invest through DCA, volatility will not harm you. Because it is a consistent strategy that builds a portfolio at an average price over the long term, volatility cannot affect it, which is why DCA strategy is the most suitable for starting investment compared to other strategies. Those who understand this strategy well from the beginning and continue to invest consistently with it, are very unlikely to face long-term failure.

You are totally right. Since they are very much concerned about the prince swing, focusing on DCA is the best strategy to use in order to sustain their investment in this bear market. Newbies should not get it all wrong. DCA does not solve the problem of volatility in Bitcoin, it only helps an investor manage volatility so they dont get affected by it. The reason why I strongly direct this to newbies is that they are the ones who are easily frightened by volatility. An experienced investor wont be in that condition

DCA is a buying strategy carried out periodically or on a schedule. So, DCA is a buying strategy that focuses solely on the accumulation schedule and doesn't pay much attention to the price. Because what matters isn't the price, but rather the consistency of purchases and the amount of Bitcoin they've acquired. Perhaps that's why many people choose to use DCA when buying Bitcoin; it's because they don't experience the mental pressure of doing so.

However, even those using DCA can sometimes fail. It's pointless to use a DCA strategy while still being afraid of price fluctuations. This can ultimately lead to panic. Therefore, when investing in Bitcoin using the DCA strategy, we must never forget good planning. With proper planning, no matter how strong a storm, it's certain that we won't deter us from accumulating and holding Bitcoin. Because we already have a plan and a goal.

You’re right on the aspect of proper planning before DCAing, so one don’t get influenced by the price action, but creating a perception (psychology) of not getting influenced by little profit the market has offered you will also help a newbie not to be pressured in to making some clueless decisions. For newbie getting panic from the onset is inevitable, but with time and determination some tend to learn and cope with price  action.

Every thing needs planning even if you want to do DCA you need to be ready because the money to be used for DCA have to be properly planned and there times that you might need to either reduce or increase your budget and this is only applicable for those that have a stream of income because there is no way DCA can be done if you don't have money and people need to be satisfied sometimes people new to this we don't expect them to just accept everything the way it is I expect something much better from them but it takes time for them to adjust to all this actually as a Newbie.

Getting panic also comes with situation where the newbie doesn’t follow the guidelines of investing in Bitcoin or investing beyond their cold fund (discretionary fund). While investing, doing your research and learning from those ahead of you will also give one a firm foundation on their Bitcoin investment journey.

And when you are holding I don't see the reason why you are suppose to be panicking because the system is designed to take what ever it might be so you just have to go with the flow of the market, and they should have understood how this thing work by now and if they don't they can do there own research everything they need to know is out there for them to learn from because people are more concerned about the money than the knowledge, so there is no other way that you won't learn when you research and when they do that they will be able to maintain stability both emotionally and how to graph opportunities of buying.

Therefore, following the DCA method is very reasonable and it is the only suitable strategy when it comes to Bitcoin investment.

That's not true @laspol65... Even though DCA may be the most popular and easy to use strategy, that doesn't mean that it is the only suitable strategy for Bitcoin investment... Infact there are majorly three strategies that can be suitable for folks to accumulate Bitcoin. And they are:
1) DCA
2) Buying the Dip
3) and Lump Sum.

‎Among these three strategies, I feel the most important among them is the DCA. It works effectively for newbies, low income earners or people with unstable income. It's not really advisable for someone who is getting started with Bitcoin trying to buy the dip or doing a lump sum without basic understanding, because they can end up with losses. So DCA is the best strategy for newbies. Buying the dip looks like a good strategy but timing is tricky and risky. Using a lump sum can give you big gains if the market rises, but losses can be heavy if it drops. While using DCA continuously, you can  try out the other strategies, but the money to be used shouldn't come from your Emergency funds/backup funds, DCA funds but from another spare cash that isn't useful to you.

I don't think there any difference, there is risk in all the strategies. If you accumulate bitcoin using the DCA, when there is price decline, your investment value also drops. So dropping of value isn't just associated to buying lump sum. So the best thing is to ensure you buy right, I mean buying with the right funds with a proper income allocation/management, so that during the down trend period, you wouldn't panic sell.

Secondly, when the price drops, we can't call it loss out rightly as you mentioned, rather, it's better we say it devalued (a drop in value) because there is still a very big 100% chance of gaining back the lost value and even greater than it was initially. What we refer to as a loss is when it can never get back to your entry price at all not matter how long you HODL, and bitcoin have proven that over and over again.

I think the DCA is just so preferable because of the much advantages and flexibilities it creates, allowing low income earners to become coiners too, allowing you to start our small while striking a balance with your income and expenditure and your investment, and also the freedom to up your investment amount at will whenever you have created such balance and confidence in your investment

Approximately how much does excess accumulation reach? Do we need to have thousands of Bitcoins first, or what? Since I'm still not very knowledgeable about this, I'd be very happy if you could explain it to me. However, if we buy BTC at a low price, as you mentioned, it will be difficult to get it back at that low price. I sometimes think that too. Indeed, if we don't have much BTC, it would be a shame to sell it now, because if we look to the future, the price of BTC will certainly rise.

It doesn't matter how much we accumulate what we need is consistency and focus. Many people who have the capital to buy Bitcoin certainly can't do it consistently or are not very focused. So what we need to pay attention to is doing it whenever we have income and don't need to worry about the amount even if it's small.

Currently for people who have capital in investing of course they will make purchases in accumulating Bitcoin for their future assets because as the belief that I said below we see the price of Bitcoin is far from increasing but we do not necessarily know what will happen in the next few years that's why I said earlier if you have capital and a strong mentality continue to do DCA in collecting Bitcoin for the next few years because if there is an increase of course what we do investment will end with a lot of profit on what we have done when collecting Bitcoin when the price is in decline but when the market price is in increase of course we also feel the benefits of investing in Bitcoin when the price returns to normal such as on October 5, 2025 when the price is at $120k and above and we accumulate BTC when the price is like what happened today is still at $ 68,200 of course the profit we get and most importantly do not think about how much we have to accumulate.

Exactly, like this is something people don’t really understand at first…  they think it is just about how much you buy, but the truth is it is more of how long and how consistent you stay in the game..

Consistency is more better than capital most of the times..  Someone that earn small income but use to do steady DCA for a long time will likely perform more than someone who has big money but keeps waiting for the perfect entry..

It is very easy to wait for a long time with Bitcoin investment, if you can invest Bitcoin according to the DCA method and build an emergency fund then it will be easy for you to hold on to your Bitcoin investment. Therefore, following the DCA method is very reasonable and it is the only suitable strategy when it comes to Bitcoin investment.

As much as I want to agree with you about DCA as a suitable method of bitcoin investment, but it is not the only suitable method of Bitcoin investment.
There are different categories of investors so is their monthly or weekly earning different, some might see DCA as a strategy with less psychological and/or financial pressure and wants to dwell on that strategy, others as well regards DCAing as an important strategy with low stress but they combine it with either lump sum or buying the dip.
For instance someone that earns $100 on a weekly basis, after he has sort out his basic needs and figure out his discretionary funds he might see DCA as suitable strategy for him based on his current cash flow, while another investor that earns up to $1200, after sorting out basic needs and has figured out discretionary, there’s a higher possibility that this other investor will have much more discretionary funds and might decide to lump sum, but not as regularly as he does DCA.

While it is possible to try and use both strategies to implement regular investing and deep buying strategies, it is not always effective or reasonable. DCA is generally reliable in almost all situations, as it spreads risk by buying continuously over time. Sometimes lump sums or deep buying can be a useful complement to DCA. Buying the deep is mainly effective when someone has already made a significant one-time investment and then the price of Bitcoin suddenly drops. Such strategies are not always effective and involve transaction risk. It is often seen that people claim to apply buy the dip as if it is always the right thing to do, when in fact the transaction never took place. Of course, everyone is free to choose their strategy. If someone plans to adopt a deep buy strategy and then presents the situation as if no trade-offs were made, it seems a bit self-deceiving and inconsistent with using a real strategy.

Waiting for the long term is certainly not easy because most people always want to get rich quickly from investments in the short term. But it's okay because it has been proven that investing in BTC for the long term is always profitable as long as we hold on to it firmly.

Actually there's no specific amount that is fixed to determine if a guy has reach the status of overaccumulation or excess accumulation,  in my own understand getting to the status of overaccumulation is when you feel that the stash of Bitcoin you have in your portfolio is more than enough for you, take for instance your target is to accumulate 0.02btc that should be around $1,351 or there about, let say you have the capacity to continue or enough discretionary income to continue then you decided to increase your portfolio to 0.07btc that should be $4,732 then you have added extra $3,487 to your bitcoin investment, at this point a guy is likely to say that they have accumulated enough stash of bitcoin that's depending on their investment target so that's just it.

Such a person has a high probability of success in Bitcoin investment, if someone invests continuously and keeps it for a long time, then he will definitely be successful. Especially if Bitcoin investment is for a long time, this is the only time when there is a high probability of achieving more. Because the Bitcoin market is being corrected at the moment, this is the only time to buy Bitcoin and make continuous purchases. Those who will invest in Bitcoin one-time will also be able to buy Bitcoin at the moment of this correction.
