Well said. Sometimes we are the one delaying ourselves by trying to get everything ready before starting. I know it's good to have all that is required to have a easy going investment but as a newbie or someone that is looking ahead, your discretionary funds is enough to kick start. Waiting to secure all at a go could jeopardize your chances of securing an investment so it's an additional advantage to know about this.
Exactly, as a newbie, there are a lot thing you don’t know yet, and it you trying to know everything before you start, you will see at the end that you won’t be able to start. So for a newbie who don’t know much yet, advisably, start small, with that you won’t get that emotionally affected even when the market is dropping, as you are doing that you are also learning more about your investment.

So instead for a newbie sitting around, waiting for the perfect market, you can just use the DCA, and with that you going by the pace you want, no rush, no emotions, just you trying to accumulate as much as you can as you are learning about bitcoin.

You are right, having an emergency fund can help someone to maintain DCA for years. And that is why it's best for people to have everything set up before adopting this strategy because that will allow them to continue their DCA journey without any pressure or interruption, because their emergency funds can support them with their basic needs. Although the emergency fund might not be enough, which people still need to engage in other activities or businesses that will be used as their emergency expenses.

You don't have to have everything set out in place before starting you bitcoin investment because that may delay you accumulate and in most cases you might not even start at all, so it's more better to put your emergency funds in place alongside your Bitcoin accumulation, that way it would be a lot easier and encouraging, than waiting to first put down you emergency funds first, which might take a very long time to accomplish , and may derail your zeal to invest, so starting your Bitcoin investment right away and be putting down your back up funds alongside it is the best.
Exactly, most people always mistake this, they think they need to have emergency fund and reserve funds set aside before starting their accumulation of bitcoin, but it not like  that, all you need is to have a discretionary income and you can start. Some people even suggest that you don’t even need a steady income. Sometimes trying to get everything ready before starting delays accumulation and even sometimes not allow someone to start.

As a newbie it always advice To use the DCA strategy, and lump sum when you have boost in your discretionary income. Emergency plays a huge part in our investment but we Should not allow it to delay our investment.
Yes, you are right. waiting and trying to put everything in order it causes a lot of delay and wasting of times. I also believe that reserves funds, and emergency funds are so important must especially aspect of bitcoin, but as an investor don’t think you have to build your emergency funds before buying your first bitcoin.  Building bitcoin position ane emergency funds can work together along bitcoin investment journey. But if someone decided to keep waiting for everything to be in order, that may cause them to keep postponing bitcoin accumulation for many year’s, what I think is the best is to start with discretionary funds and invest what you think you can comfortably afford gradually.
