The best way to catch the lowest part of the dip is by constant accumulation, wether it's weekly or monthly through the dca accumulating strategy and when that lowest dip comes, you might still buy and accumulate Bitcoin then, or you buy aggressively at that point if you have the reserve funds available to make that happen, but if you are not buying and accumulating and you are waiting only to buy the dip, you may miss out on the dip when it comes because you might not even know when that lowest dip may comes or the dip you may be anticipating might not come, and you may not even buy at all, so waiting before buying Bitcoin is never a great idea, since the likelihood of missing out on so many buying opportunities are very high .

This is why the DCA is considered the most preferred strategy cause since you're buying consistenly, you'll definitely come across several dips including the lowest part of it like you said, one don't need to wait for that point before buying cheaper, with the DCA, consistency is indeed the key and those who are used to that strategy always have good news to share on the long run.

 Normally, waiting for the dip is an opportunity killer cause at the end you might end up not buying the perfect dip you're waiting for. The market is already volatile thereby making it very unpredictable so instead of waiting for something you don't know the particular time it would occur, it's better to just buy consistently with the DCA so you'll be in a good position to experience several dips and be on the advantage side.

Dca is also consider the best because it is simple and easy to invest without stress and can be done with your discretionary income bit by bit be it daily, weekly or monthly in as much as you have your discretionary income to start and continue with, dca is for everyone who chose to invest expect you would rather prefer the dip or lump sum , if not ongoing, continuously and persistently investing in bitcoin remains the best for as long as you are in your accumulation stage since it give the opportunity to keep buying for a long term of 4-10 and above until you are financially stable or chose to adopt the next strategy .

Let's say that a person gets irregular amounts of pay and the pay comes at irregular times, so if that person also has irregular expenses, then his situation is even more complicated, and so yeah, he may have to be sure that the money that he has is really available to invest into bitcoin before he can invest it.  If he is not sure, then he cannot invest such money until he is sure.  So yeah, I already responded to the angle that a person who has irregular income and irregular expenses may need to maintain higher quantities of back up funds in order to account for such irregularities.

Furthermore if that person also wanted to make sure that he was investing into bitcoin every single week, then maybe he would have to have an extra side funds that is already available for such purposes...and so maybe the side fund is set up with 6-ish weeks of DCA in advance.. and maybe he has another fund that covers rent and food that is set aside.. .. and so he keeps those funds with sufficient amounts, and if they get below certain amounts, then he starts to get worried and maybe he has back up funds for that.. and if he ends up having to tap into one of his funds, he knows he is in BIG trouble.. and probably he would stop buying bitcoin before he would tap into his emergency funds and perhaps he would end up depleting 70% or more of his emergency funds before he would start to consider tapping into his bitcoin... so for sure, he does not want matters to go so far as his needing to tap into his BTC, so there are levels (and priorities regarding which funds get spent first, or which spending gets frozen first), and so he can see the  level of emergency based on how depleted his various back up funds (and reserve funds) get.  

There surely are advantages to receiving pay on a regular and stable basis for guys who have that going for them, yet we know that there also have to be enough funds and perhaps enough back up funds, otherwise investing into bitcoin might get cut off or stalled until such funds are available or not overly depleted.  I would think that the longer guys are in bitcoin, then the better they get at managing and monitoring  their funds so that they don't get themselves into emergency situations.

Yes..this is indeed a very thoughtful framework that'll help in managing irregular income and expenses..(while still working on your Bitcoin position).. first,the layered fund structure is absolutely brilliant..it gives a clear warning when your emergency funds drops to a certain percentage.. thereby giving you this self awareness to stop before you start taking money from the cash kept for your upkeep and rent... however,there are some tensions you need to put into consideration...first, the "6 weeks pre-funded DCA" looks like an interesting paradox...lets say maybe someone doesn't have a regular source of income and this same person seriously needs a huge emergency reserve.....would it be advisable to lock up to maybe 6 weeks of DCA cash in advance.??.... meanwhile, that capital would've definitely served better as an additional emergency fund...(Since the emergency funds are handling majority of the difficult stuffs)..

And also I think the "never touch Bitcoin" ... might be too extreme..??🙄......what if Bitcoin value doubled and at same time you probably lost your Job for almost a year...don't you think maybe selling off like 5% of your Bitcoin would be a smart move..??...than letting all your cash go down the drain...and I really don't think it's a "must" to buy Bitcoin on a weekly basis...you can just buy when you have some extra money available...(Slower is recommended as long as you sleep better) Lol....


With all these said..it leaves me with a question...are you really building wealth..??...or are you just trying to "never miss a week" of buying Bitcoin☺️....most times the second goal always fights against the first...

That you are buying with the DCA doesn't limit you from using every other strategies if you have the means to, one can combine various strategies only that if it's convenient to your own personal circumstances, you can be using the dca as your primary strategy consistently and persistently and when you have means of lump suming you can as well do that and if there were any preparation for buy the dip you can also take advantage of it the interest is that you are buying and not just buying but buying with various strategies that is convenient to you as a person.

first the "6 weeks pre-funded DCA" looks like an interesting paradox...lets say maybe someone doesn't have a regular source of income and this same person seriously needs a huge emergency reserve.....would it be advisable to lock up to maybe 6 weeks of DCA cash in advance.??.... meanwhile, that capital would've definitely served better as an additional emergency fund...(Since the emergency funds are handling majority of the difficult stuffs)..

An emergency fund is not only necessary for investing, but can also be needed for any other situation... But in Reality, an emergency fund is not always necessary.... If someone keeps a large amount of cash in an emergency fund just because they are afraid that they will need it one day, then the current inflation will put them at a loss. And there is a possibility of missing investment opportunities again and again. However, I believe that Bitcoin will give us opportunities for many decades in the future. But delaying it will not be good for us. Not all emergencies come at the same time. There are many times when temporary difficulties can be dealt with by slightly reducing the DCA, so it is not necessary to stop investing completely. So in my opinion, putting the emergency fund at the top of the list and postponing investments is not an effective solution in all situations. For me, a realistic approach is to spread the Risk.. Some for safety and some for Future growth... Keeping a balance between these two is the real strategy.

And also I think the "never touch Bitcoin" ... might be too extreme..??🙄......what if Bitcoin value doubled and at same time you probably lost your Job for almost a year...don't you think maybe selling off like 5% of your Bitcoin would be a smart move..??...than letting all your cash go down the drain...

I understand that the nEVER TOUCH BITCOIN policy may seem extreme to many...But I think the main purpose of this Rule is to create mental discipline. Sometimes it happens that people start selling under the pretext of an emergency and later it turns out that it was not an emergency, but rather an emotional decision. If we leave the door open to exceptions from the beginning, 5% today, 10% tomorrow, then this is how long term positions gradually begin to deteriorate. That is why this extreme rule is more effective for many.

and I really don't think it's a "must" to buy Bitcoin on a weekly basis...you can just buy when you have some extra money available...(Slower is recommended as long as you sleep better) Lol....

While buying every week is not mandatory, everyone needs to have a realistic long term plan.. But it is even more foolish to wait for an opportunity to step back...When you have discretionary income, you should invest some of it for safety and some for Future growth. You may think that you will pour a large sum into investments later, but in reality it will look like a gamble. And you will keep expecting very quick returns from it. Which will destroy the long-term normality. So in my opinion, if you have discretionary income, start moving slowly from now.

This is  a carefully laid out plan to encourage an individual that has irregular incomes and as well irregular expenses, suggesting that the 6 weeks reserved discretional funds for DCA should be added to his emergency funds may discourage such an investor perhaps if such an individual can increase the volume of the investments that is the discretional funds to 10 weeks in order not run short of his discretional funds before he gets another income to support is discretional funds by so doing he may not really have need to touch his emergency funds no matter how irregular his expenses is, however the irregularity of his incomes and expenses was not actually defined if it is once a month, two months or more.

This is  a carefully laid out plan to encourage an individual that has irregular incomes and as well irregular expenses, suggesting that the 6 weeks reserved discretional funds for DCA should be added to his emergency funds may discourage such an investor perhaps if such an individual can increase the volume of the investments that is the discretional funds to 10 weeks in order not run short of his discretional funds before he gets another income to support is discretional funds by so doing he may not really have need to touch his emergency funds no matter how irregular his expenses is, however the irregularity of his incomes and expenses was not actually defined if it is once a month, two months or more.

I'm trying to understand what you mean here. As an irregular income earner, you don't necessarily need to come and start stacking up discretionary income for the sake of investing on your next supposed DCA dates before your next income. Yes, you don't have to keep money separately instead you invest your available discretionary income as it comes and wait until when next year have an available discretionary income to invest.

However, you have to strengthen your emergency funds to be able to sustain for twice the timeframe you expect to make another income. This will help you to keep your bitcoin portfolio safe from panic selling and premature sales probably due to some unforeseen circumstances. If you don't make good plans for your backup funds and emergency funds, you may end up dipping hands in your accumulated bitcoin before the end of your HODL period and this can expose you to losses.

Saving your discretionary income in fiats in order to buy bitcoin at your next DCA date is not a good advice, you invest your available discretionary income into bitcoin and wait until you have another discretionary income except in the case of keeping a part of the money as reserved funds which will be invested (probably) on a later date or dips.

What you say is true. Although it's not a requirement it's a way to remind ourselves to have a long-term plan. One thing we shouldn't do is balance our income with our expenses. For the long term we should also invest a little, whether by buying weekly or monthly. However this has become a way for us to invest for our future hoping for future returns. Your statement is absolutely correct. It's now imperative to start and move toward long-term goals that can benefit from our investments.

Thinking long-term is a great idea for many reasons. Investing in Bitcoin will certainly benefit us personally. However it all depends on how we manage our finances to avoid problems by investing in Bitcoin only for a long period of time and that's all based on our discretionary funds.

I
in my opinion the matter is very simple. most people enter investing with the thought of quick profit but the market never favors rushing. a small drop creates fear fear turns into panic and panic leads to wrong decisions. they sell quickly and later realize the real loss came from losing their patience. those who have lost money at least understand this truth that investing cannot be done with emotions. but new people come without that experience and think this time it will be different. in reality nothing is different the same mistakes happen again. real value does come in the long term but just sitting and waiting is not enough learning over time investing wisely and moving forward with patience is the real game.

Going on a long-term helps in automatically handling the probable emotions, fear and panics, so that means wrong decision that will lead losing funds is already taken care of because long-term investment is patience oriented.

Those who come for quick profits always learn the hard way and that's one thing I really love about Bitcoin investment, it gives everyone the opportunity to hop in but those who fail to do it right always learn the hard way. It's been said that one would need to prioritise being patient but it doesn't end there, you still ought to be smart and desperate to be successful with it that's why determination matters too so you'll be able to overcome obstacles like fear and panic. Bitcoin investment would tend to play with your emotions due to volatility but those who are very determined always scale through.

There is no other best way of overcoming obstacles like fear and panic than whenever you are investing you are always investing from your discretionary income, primarily using a discretionary income is what put your emotions at rest other factors that will help in overcoming fear or panic at any point are secondary, you don't need to be desperate for anything but you will rather work according to how best your investment plans can suitable for you and you alone because certain level of desperation for success can result to making mistakes.

‎Its like people usually forget having a strong mindset is More important than the setup itself. No matter how good your plan is , impatience can ruin everything if expectations are too high too fast. Yes at times the market can move slowly, but learning to walk through that boredom is part of the process. And once you stop trying to check price level everytime your head becomes clearer and stop reacting to every moves. That alone helps you to stay consistent and make you avoid bad decisions that result to losses.

[PhilosopherKing]

DCA strategy may be more suitable for people with regular income.

Don't scare away people from bitcoin for no good reason. DCA is not only exclusive to people with regular income, it is suitable for everybody, that is just damn right

 It works even  better if you make use of discretionary income to do it. It good to have a regular finance, but even those with a irregular income can still start to DCA by making the plans to buy around that time the money comes in and be consistent about it.

[rezakurnia66]

Some get profit from their right investment practice, and some others get losses by their bad practice but Bitcoin is simply Bitcoin with good price growth with time. People with bad investment practice can not affect Bitcoin price in long term and loss belong to them, not Bitcoin.

Simple way when investing in bitcoin, some one get much profit from the right way for investing and other one getting loss dur wrong or bad way when investing in bitcoin. Actually bitcoin always potential back higher price if has much patience waiting after bitcoin correcting not panic to sell and keep hold it until the right time will recovery.
Flashback around 2020 year has moment bitcoin after hitting new ath price drop significant but most people keep holding their bitcoin assets get much profit due bitcoin success break out above $100k.

Ofcourse the DCA in particular is very suitable for those with regular income since it requires investors to be consistent amd if one doesn't have a constant source to maintain their discretionary funds, how do you expect such person to investment consistently? Or would you rather want them to invest with their emergency funds? Yes everyone can use the DCA but even though everyone can't be on same level financially but there's no harm for shrimps to start small and be consistent with it. How doesn't the discretionary fund regenerate it'self if not from a stable income.

Yeah, people will be saying that they are waiting perfect time to invest, but it's just an excuses that they use  to justify themselves. The best thing is that you don't need to wait for a perfect moment, you can jump in by using whatever you can spare without stressing, and sticking with it. A person with a strong mindset are ones that Bitcoin rewards mostly, not people who are hoping on luck.  It is people who  plan ahead.invest steady, and don't freak on short term dips are the one that get most  edge. Timing the market is wrong, the key is keeping your money working for you over years while staying in control of your finances.

Because from what happened in the past, I think we need to take lessons to be able to invest wisely, and the answer is long-term investing. We can see from past times that the price of Bitcoin always grows higher if we hold it for a long period, so I think we can apply that now, and if that can be done, then most likely we will not experience losses in investing; on the contrary.

[Solokan]

The best way to catch the lowest part of the dip is by constant accumulation, wether it's weekly or monthly through the dca accumulating strategy and when that lowest dip comes, you might still buy and accumulate Bitcoin then, or you buy aggressively at that point if you have the reserve funds available to make that happen, but if you are not buying and accumulating and you are waiting only to buy the dip, you may miss out on the dip when it comes because you might not even know when that lowest dip may comes or the dip you may be anticipating might not come, and you may not even buy at all, so waiting before buying Bitcoin is never a great idea, since the likelihood of missing out on so many buying opportunities are very high .

I agree with you that the best way to buy BTC at the lowest price is to make continuous purchases using the DCA system. My experience has been the same, because planning to buy BTC at its lowest price is definitely not a good idea, as we don't know when the price of BTC will reach its lowest point. So, I think your idea is very good, which is essentially to use the DCA technique. However, in this case, everyone has different ways of accumulating BTC. But sometimes, in my opinion, the biggest challenge in long-term BTC investing is when BTC reaches a new all-time high (ATH) and feel tempted to sell and take profits. Have you ever experienced something like that? Fortunately, when BTC reached a new ATH, I wasn't tempted and didn't sell my BTC.

Saving your discretionary income in fiats in order to buy bitcoin at your next DCA date is not a good advice, you invest your available discretionary income into bitcoin and wait until you have another discretionary income except in the case of keeping a part of the money as reserved funds which will be invested (probably) on a later date or dips.

Yes, I agree with your assumption, friend. It's true that holding our discretionary funds in fiat currency will eventually erode their value due to inflation. Therefore, holding discretionary funds in fiat currency is not a good idea for long periods. However, if you hold them for a short period of time, like a week or two, I don't think it's a problem. Because inflation likely won't significantly erode their value within a week or two.

So, I personally can conclude that holding discretionary funds to buy Bitcoin at a future accumulation date is acceptable if the holding period is short( In fiat form ) . However, if all discretionary funds are immediately invested in Bitcoin, that's certainly not a bad thing either. Ultimately, we return to our individual investment strategies, as that's what will determine the pros and cons of such an action.

[Cossyblack]

That you are buying with the DCA doesn't limit you from using every other strategies if you have the means to, one can combine various strategies only that if it's convenient to your own personal circumstances, you can be using the dca as your primary strategy consistently and persistently and when you have means of lump suming you can as well do that and if there were any preparation for buy the dip you can also take advantage of it the interest is that you are buying and not just buying but buying with various strategies that is convenient to you as a person.

Investors can combine all three strategies as long as they have sufficient discretionary income. If its convenient I would recommend the combine use of the DCA, lump sum and Buy dip strategies. This way they wouldn't rely on a single strategy instead they would have more than one strategy to accumulate bitcoin. it would also ensure investors don't miss out market opportunity. It is not mandatory to to combine all three strategies but if they have the financial capability they should go ahead.

Well, it is not a bad idea to combine the 3 strategies but have you thought about the convenience? Most times we do things thinking that we can handle it but at the long run we discover it actually comes with a lot of financial stress. Lump sum investment is good but this has to come when you're very sure about your next income and if you miss having the income as at when due, you may go bankrupt. Buying the dip too is good but an investor must not get carried away while waiting for dips too.

DCA strategy is a more complete strategy of which an investor who invests by DCA has the ability to invest aggressively too (lump sum/buying the dip). This is possible especially when you have an additional discretionary income and you also have enough emergency funds and back up funds to cushion your bitcoin stash. Even though there's no additional discretionary income, your reserved funds could be used for buying dips but never use your emergency funds for investment to avoid loosing your bitcoin untimely. Don't get too greedy wanting to lump-sum frequently, you may end up destroying your portfolio.

You can't lump sum often and anyone that lump sum often is not lump suming but DCAing. Using all three strategies doesn't mean that you most have beyond your normal size of emergency funds which is at least 3-6 months because you don't need your emergency funds to lump sum or buy at the dip.

If you have an unexpected cash that you don't have anything to do with it, you can lump sum immediately, irrespective of the price of bitcoin. I got paid last December double salary. I took out half of the money and lunp sum immediately, whereby I still have my reserve funds available to buy at my own dip price if bitcoin dips to that price provided that my weekly DCA is ongoing. It's good that you lump sum whenever, the opportunity comes because it boost up your bitcoin portfolio size faster.

[Finebone]

This way they wouldn't rely on a single strategy instead they would have more than one strategy to accumulate bitcoin.

I don't think combining all bitcoin accumulating strategy is needed if you want to be efficient and decisive in your accumulation journey.

What I think is the best is using the dca accumulating strategy to buy and accumulate Bitcoin consistently either weekly or monthly, and if in the process of accumulating and their is a serious dip in the market, you can still accumulate and buy Bitcoin aggressively during that period if you have a reserve funds stationed to carry it out, so I think that both methods are enough for any bitcoin investor to accumulate and get to his over accumulation status faster than trying to use all strategies that might get you confused.

You can't lump sum often and anyone that lump sum often is not lump suming but DCAing. Using all three strategies doesn't mean that you most have beyond your normal size of emergency funds which is at least 3-6 months because you don't need your emergency funds to lump sum or buy at the dip.

If you have an unexpected cash that you don't have anything to do with it, you can lump sum immediately, irrespective of the price of bitcoin. I got paid last December double salary. I took out half of the money and lunp sum immediately, whereby I still have my reserve funds available to buy at my own dip price if bitcoin dips to that price provided that my weekly DCA is ongoing. It's good that you lump sum whenever, the opportunity comes because it boost up your bitcoin portfolio size faster.

There are instances in which some people fail s to differentiate the three strategies from one another. Yes you are right, who ever that is claiming to be doing lump sum buying at regular intervals is actually taking DCA strategy to be lump sum  buying and this is a mistake on there part . Maybe simply because they are using large amounts of money to do DCA and they decided to call it lump sum buying this a big mistake since lump sum buying involved buying bitcoin using large amounts of money and not on regular intervals.
