Being aggressive to the point of investing with all ones discretionary isn't a good idea at all because this is similar to someone that is trading especially when the investor has no backup funds or any form of reserve funds. Investor should invest in bitcoin in such a way that they won't have to put themselves into financial strain. So being over isn't a good idea because it may leads to an investor selling before they planned and at the end it will be just hurrying for nothing.
Investing doesn't require rushing if your investment plan is long-term. As with any investment, investors are strongly advised not to overburden themselves to the point of making it difficult to do more than just invest. Simply make regular purchases with discretionary funds without having to use it all at once. As long as you do this regularly, without being affected by the fluctuating Bitcoin price, I believe this is good enough for the investor's investment journey. So, I agree with what you said, because it's better if investors take it easy without any burdens, so their investment journey can last longer.
Bitcoin long term investment plan is not something that any investors should rush all their discretionary funds into because it is not a one time purchase, it is better to always use amount that you can afford to lose in accumulating so that you won't overburden yourself along the way. This is why DCA strategy is highly recommended for investors and the amount shouldn't be what you will not struggle to afford otherwise it won't be easy to sustain the strategy.

Try as much as possible to accumulate Bitcoin with ease by structuring your buying capabilities at everytime you want to buy, you can have a fixed amount to purchase with and if your income increases you can increase the amount likewise if it reduces you can reduce the accumulation amount. What is important should be that you're not overburdening yourself to buy with all your discretionary funds, you have to be flexible and use your discretion to know amount that is reasonable for you everytime.

If the investment journey is long-term, then it is best to invest in Bitcoin according to the DCA method as prescribed. A person who has the ability to earn as much income and invests in Bitcoin with that income, so that person can enter Bitcoin investment with the amount of money he can lose with the income he wants.
There are no fixed rules in this, so you can invest any amount of money with the income you want, in this way if you can sustain the investment for a long time and add it to the long-term holding by purchasing Bitcoin every week. Then your investment will definitely be successful in the long term and you will be able to achieve the maximum benefits.

We always need to use discretionary income sources to invest. It is never a good idea to invest money from income sources. The right idea is to use the amount of money that you can afford to lose and keep it in the long term. The reason for saying lose is that the Bitcoin market is very volatile and no one can say what will happen in the market, so it is said to invest the amount of money that you can afford to lose.

Whenever a person invests outside of discretionary income, he will be involved in gambling. First of all, we have to focus on security, we have to take care that we do not face any loss due to any mistake. Whenever a person invests from income sources, he can invest the necessary amount of money within that amount. If you need that amount of money before your term ends, you will have to sell your holdings against your will and if the price of Bitcoin falls below your purchase price at that moment, you will have to sell at a loss. So we must always make sure that we invest with a source of discretionary income before investing.

We can never say for sure that we will be successful in the long term. Because the market is completely decentralized, no one has a hand over the Bitcoin market. It is better not to mislead everyone by saying that we will definitely make a profit. But yes, if a person is able to hold on for a long time, then his chances of making a profit are much higher than short-term investments.

I think the same as the idea you conveyed because even though we have a large discretionary fund we still need to make adjustments because in the discretionary fund there are some that we can fulfill for other things too so I think there is no need to do it in a hurry with all the funds for a long-term Bitcoin investment plan because we can still do it in an orderly manner meaning even though we don't immediately invest completely we always do it even though it's gradual but because of the order we do it it makes us healthier in thinking so that in the end we can manage our own time for accumulation based on the ideas and thoughts that we have but not many people do that especially those who have discretionary funds of course they think they can do it for accumulation with a long-term plan for Bitcoin investment.

This doesn't mean we don't want to accumulate but timing it right is more important when buying Bitcoin. Unless you have income that increases every week or month you should adjust the amount you accumulate to make it easier and more practical. This is one of the skills a person has to accumulate wisely without rushing.

The most important thing is a guy being able to access his cash flow to determine if he’ll be able to to sort discretionary fund, once this is ascertained then allocation to a guy Bitcoin investment, emergency funds, savings and/or discretionary consumption is inevitable as an investors in Bitcoin, to investors that are naive about the importance of emergency or backup fund at long run, they may end up gambling with their Bitcoin.

Secondly, Despite how big a guy discretionary fund is the amount he allocate to his investment it’s not determined by the size of the discretionary funds only, but as a result of his decisions and/or choice.

Investing only what you can afford to lose does not mean that we want to lose the money. The real meaning is that even if that money is stuck our current lifestyle family security or emergency fund should not be affected. If you block your regular income source or necessary funds here then when the market goes down you will be forced to sell at a loss. There is no certainty or guarantee in the Bitcoin market. Bitcoin is 100% unpredictable. Due to history and its mathematical structure the chances of success here in the long term are very high. Only by doing DCA with discretionary income can it be possible to remain calm in the extreme fluctuations of the market. If there is a debt burden or pressure of necessary expenses on the head no one will be able to hold for 4-10 years.

Your first sentence is confusing! You told people to only invest with discretionary income, then later say it’s not a good idea to invest money from income sources. How do you think discretionary income is gotten? It is from income after settling one’s essential expenses. Not using financial terms well will confuses beginners, and if your foundation is wrong, the advice built on it becomes questionable too. You need to explain well saying they should invest only portion of their income they won’t need for bills, emergencies or daily living.

You’re doing exactly what you kicked against in your last paragraph….be careful next time not to give too much confidence to folks that holding for a long time can give a “much higher chances of making profit”. Yes, BTC has rewarded long term holders in the past, but past performance is not proof of future result. Just focus on preach long term consistent accumulation without diverting to profit talk

There are different opportunities in the market and most investors still ignore their chances of taking advantage to make money.
I have always known that not everybody will be profitable whether they are smart investors or greedy ones.
The market is opened to us with chances that can make investors who are diligent with accumulating Bitcoin but greed can make them to look to the other side of the track which can become unfortunate.
Over time, they expect profits through the capital they use gradually, which will be different from those who take daily profits in the market using technical means.
We have to separate the two between traders and investors. Bitcoin traders who expect to profit from their daily activities may become greedy but investors who are consistent over a long period of time have greater profits from price returns at any one time and they have a greater chance of winning than losing in terms of profits with the trader.
Trading and investing should be kept separate, they should never be confused. The goals and methods of the two are not the same but completely different. While traders usually try to profit from short-term price fluctuations, investors rely on the growth and potential of an asset in the long term. In other words, it is completely clear here that these are two completely different things, so they must be treated as separate, the risks and possibilities are also different, so you have to invest or trade depending on what you have the ability to manage properly, and the risk you have the ability to take.

I prefer investors who invest $10 per week over those who trading $1,000 daily. Because investment success is much more likely if we buy and hold consistently. The risk is much lower because we hold for the long term.

With everything you've explained, investors who start investing in Bitcoin have already planned their investment plans for decades. It's no wonder investors start with small amounts because they can increase their purchases in the coming years.

The DCA supports our long term investment plan because we continue to buy weekly with discretionary income.
Actually there's no need comparing holding $10 worth of Bitcoin weekly and trading $1000 daily because the dividend of holding Bitcoin has always spoken loudest. Trading $1000 daily can mean more losses per month than profit that it will bring compared to investing $10  per week that is more loaded for profit in the long run than the daily venture.
Now think of investing $1000 weekly to trading $1000 daily? The difference is just not comparable.

Dude, while you talk about how good Bitcoin investment can be do no forget the fact that $1000 is by far bigger than $10 and do you know how many weeks or months it will take you to accumulate $1000 dollar using $10 weekly? When you make comparison try to check the weight  and worth of what you are comparing so it doesn't look too good to be true. And sometimes we should not compare Bitcoin investment and trading because there are folks out there that are making profit especially those that Influence the market.

These are two very different styles, daily trading $1000 carries a very high risk of structural loss compared to DCA or long-term routine investing, allocating funds consistently is much safer than relying on high and aggressive trading frequency. If trading is $1000/day, it means the amount of money circulating is $30,000/month "if consistent every day". The pressure is clearly different, requiring skill, time, risk management, and most importantly, a strong mentality. Many traders have large turnovers but a thin net profit or even a negative profit due to one mistake. So, the comparison between the two is not comparable at all because their goals are different, one is building assets, while the other is looking for a daily salary from the market.

Truth be told that comparing DCA with daily trading is difficult because they are designed to achieve different objectives. I think the more important comparison isn't the amount of money involved, but the mindset behind each approach.
Another point worth mentioning is that trading has hidden costs beyond financial losses. It demands constant attention, emotional control, and time. Many people underestimate the psychological pressure of making frequent decisions, which often leads to overtrading and emotional mistakes. DCA largely removes those variables by replacing decision-making with discipline.

And sometimes we should not compare Bitcoin investment and trading because there are folks out there that are making profit especially those that Influence the market.

These examples of trading versus investing (and even the amounts) are a bit all over the place, and they are a bit retarded since they do not seem to be focused on trying to figure out something meaningful in terms of trying to compare similarities.

Let's try to figure out some middle ground to make our point.  Are we trying to make a point about size of the budget? Or are we trying to make a point about the difference between trading and investing?

We could have a person who has all of the various aspects of his cashflow figured out, and maybe in the end, he has $100 per week that he could invest into bitcoin.

Maybe the guy will invest with the money? or maybe he will trade? or maybe both?

He could put $50 into each, right?  He could continue to build up his bitcoin holdings with $50 every week, and he could add $50 to his trading account, and then maybe after a year, he can compare them. 

After a year, both of the accounts would have had received the same amount, and the investment account would be worth $2,600 and also accounting for if BTC had gone up or down in value during that time. 

The trading account might be all over the place in terms of potentially being up or down.

If the experiment were to last for 10 years, then each of the accounts would have had received $26k in value, and I would imagine the investing account to have become worth way more than the trading account, yet we cannot completely know in advance.  Historically it has been quite difficult for traders to beat investors, and the future is not necessarily capable of being known by the past results... yet guys can do what they like, and surely I would think that if we are in an investment thread, then it is quite likely that guys would be more inclined towards investing rather than trying to trade.

If there was a point trying to be made about size of the budget, then that seems to be a bit of a silly topic, since each of us has whatever budget we are able to get, and surely we may well have some goal to try to increase our income as much as we can, and we might even have goals to decrease our expenses. Yet, I have hardly any expectation that there is any advantage to be comparing folks with differing budgets, since we should be expecting that guys with larger budgets have more options than guys who have lower budgets.

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

You misunderstand what the other Obulis guy is saying, and it is because you didn't even read it well. The guy said that there is more gain when person ongoingly invest $10 in bitcoin than for them to be fucking around trading $1000 daily. The risk of having losses in trading is very high so it dosen't matter how high person trading amount is, the losses can still happen. This is why it is better that person just focus on ongoingly investing in bitcoin using what they can afforded to loose. There is nothing bad if they start small with as little as $10 and increase the amount along the way.

Try as much as possible to accumulate Bitcoin with ease by structuring your buying capabilities at everytime you want to buy, you can have a fixed amount to purchase with and if your income increases you can increase the amount likewise if it reduces you can reduce the accumulation amount. What is important should be that you're not overburdening yourself to buy with all your discretionary funds, you have to be flexible and use your discretion to know amount that is reasonable for you everytime.
A fixed amount can be a sort of a burden in scenarios where the investor had little discretionary income available for a certain period, then investment becomes a struggle when the fixed amount is above the discretionary income for that said period, a better approach would be a fixed percentage of your discretionary income, so as to synchronize with varying quantity of discretionary income available at certain periods and for the periods the discretionary income isn't available, the investor may not have to invest until it becomes available again.

if a person is able to hold on for a long time, then his chances of making a profit are much higher than short-term investments.
You’re doing exactly what you kicked against in your last paragraph….be careful next time not to give too much confidence to folks that holding for a long time can give a “much higher chances of making profit”. Yes, BTC has rewarded long term holders in the past, but past performance is not proof of future result. Just focus on preach long term consistent accumulation without diverting to profit talk
I agree with him, going long-term in bitcoin has higher chances on profitability than short-term investment/trading that is always associated with those who are into bitcoin for quick profits, of course you cannot compare the profits acquired by those who settled for quick profits to those who held bitcoin for long-term even from a historical standpoint. Those who targeted quick profits exited the market too quickly and missed out on the good profits enjoyed by their counterparts who held on to bitcoin for longer, so long-term always has a higher potential for good profitability in bitcoin.

Two things are involve here, if someone is too aggressive when there is Dip to the point they invest all their discretionary income they won't have a discrestionary income again to invest for the time being unless they have a source of income that will give them discretionary income ASAP and the other one is that they will have a good fraction of Bitcoin because they want all in and since it is what they can afford to lose I don't think there is a cause for alarm.
This is why folk shouldn't be over aggressive because it would be difficult to sustain for the long term instead they should buy according to their capabilities rather than buying beyond what they can't handle. This is  because buying over aggressive is gambling and anyone doing so is an actual gambler. Folks shouldn't invest beyond their discretionary income if something goes wrong or things doesn't work as planned they will definitely tamper with their bitcoin investment. Folks should only use money they can afford to lose for their bitcoin investment.

Dude, while you talk about how good Bitcoin investment can be do no forget the fact that $1000 is by far bigger than $10 and do you know how many weeks or months it will take you to accumulate $1000 dollar using $10 weekly? When you make comparison try to check the weight  and worth of what you are comparing so it doesn't look too good to be true. And sometimes we should not compare Bitcoin investment and trading because there are folks out there that are making profit especially those that Influence the market.

These examples of trading versus investing (and even the amounts) are a bit all over the place, and they are a bit retarded since they do not seem to be focused on trying to figure out something meaningful in terms of trying to compare similarities.

Let's try to figure out some middle ground to make our point.  Are we trying to make a point about size of the budget? Or are we trying to make a point about the difference between trading and investing?

We could have a person who has all of the various aspects of his cashflow figured out, and maybe in the end, he has $100 per week that he could invest into bitcoin.

Maybe the guy will invest with the money? or maybe he will trade? or maybe both?

He could put $50 into each, right?  He could continue to build up his bitcoin holdings with $50 every week, and he could add $50 to his trading account, and then maybe after a year, he can compare them. 

After a year, both of the accounts would have had received the same amount, and the investment account would be worth $2,600 and also accounting for if BTC had gone up or down in value during that time. 

The trading account might be all over the place in terms of potentially being up or down.

If the experiment were to last for 10 years, then each of the accounts would have had received $26k in value, and I would imagine the investing account to have become worth way more than the trading account, yet we cannot completely know in advance.  Historically it has been quite difficult for traders to beat investors, and the future is not necessarily capable of being known by the past results... yet guys can do what they like, and surely I would think that if we are in an investment thread, then it is quite likely that guys would be more inclined towards investing rather than trying to trade.

If there was a point trying to be made about size of the budget, then that seems to be a bit of a silly topic, since each of us has whatever budget we are able to get, and surely we may well have some goal to try to increase our income as much as we can, and we might even have goals to decrease our expenses. Yet, I have hardly any expectation that there is any advantage to be comparing folks with differing budgets, since we should be expecting that guys with larger budgets have more options than guys who have lower budgets.

We are getting messy with those examples, since they mixed those different topics in the discussion. But actually the budget or sized by investors is not big deal, since I think what matter more is their approach.

If he really have that $100 fund each week, they can either choose those option that you mentioned, but I'd discourage them to do trades because maybe they might just their time and money dealing with volatile movement of the market. But if they follow those things what you have said then yeah the outcome might came out really different. Since after a decade of consistent buying or investing those people into this action could see the amazing growth of their portfolio, while those people engage on trading either got slow growth or quit because they got wiped out.

So its not actually all about which of those people have more money, but actually on their methods followed. Also about the difference of those strategies they are using. If we talk about investment especially on Bitcoin. Many people lean on long term because they already see those good effects achieved by those consistent long term investors compare to those people doing short term trades.

Actually there's no need comparing holding $10 worth of Bitcoin weekly and trading $1000 daily because the dividend of holding Bitcoin has always spoken loudest. Trading $1000 daily can mean more losses per month than profit that it will bring compared to investing $10  per week that is more loaded for profit in the long run than the daily venture.
Now think of investing $1000 weekly to trading $1000 daily? The difference is just not comparable.

Dude, while you talk about how good Bitcoin investment can be do no forget the fact that $1000 is by far bigger than $10 and do you know how many weeks or months it will take you to accumulate $1000 dollar using $10 weekly? When you make comparison try to check the weight  and worth of what you are comparing so it doesn't look too good to be true. And sometimes we should not compare Bitcoin investment and trading because there are folks out there that are making profit especially those that Influence the market.

You misunderstand what the other Obulis guy is saying, and it is because you didn't even read it well. The guy said that there is more gain when person ongoingly invest $10 in bitcoin than for them to be fucking around trading $1000 daily. The risk of having losses in trading is very high so it dosen't matter how high person trading amount is, the losses can still happen. This is why it is better that person just focus on ongoingly investing in bitcoin using what they can afforded to loose. There is nothing bad if they start small with as little as $10 and increase the amount along the way.
There's no amount of money a person will use as a capital to start bitcoin trading that would justify it not assure him of having a cumulative gain at the end. Bitcoin trading is risky and the more you bring in capital, the more you loose it all. You can choose a suitable DCA approach and give your self an initial accumulation target. Whenever you're buying aggressively, you have to consider your financial capacity and be sure that you are not buying aggressively because you don't want to miss the dip but because you have an additional discretionary income that you can spare in bitcoin in addition to your regular DCA approach.

The mistake that some people make is that they sometimes buy under the influence of FOMO and still deny buying under FOMO whereas in a short time, they run into financial issues that would make them cut short their initial HODLing target. Being aggressive is good, but doing it within your financial capacity is the best.

Let's say a newbie wants to start buying bitcoin, they've already figured out their discretionary income so going forward they can split their discretionary income into three parts, 2/3 can be used for buying bitcoin, 1)3 can be used to set up their emergency fund and the rest of their backup funds after if they don't already have their backup funds in place and the last 1/3 can be used on whatever they want to spend it on, it might take some time but after setting up their backup funds they can redirect to buying bitcoin and in so doing increase their aggressiveness as long as they feel okay with it, a smart investor knows to invest within a tolerable range from their discretionary income.

Not just newbies, DCA is just one of the ways that people have considered to be helpful, and there is a need for everyone to understand that DCA is an option for everyone, so a lot of us are using it to create more opportunity for ourselves. There is no way you will use DCA without enjoying it, because the only thing you need to do is know exactly what you can afford, and to me, that is the most important. Then, following you having emergency funds, because people should know how important it is to have emergency funds, and when it comes to long-term holding, because that is what newbies are supposed to take seriously, because that is why newbies need to be taking on a tour because a lot of them can even be misled at this point, and that is as a newbie you need to do things that are very important or you will not gain anything.

Yes, the DCA method is very great when it comes to Bitcoin investment because it allows us buy amount we can afford to sort out as a discrestionary income and it also give the privilege to accumulate regardless of the market phase or price because before now people use to ask and complain about the price of Bitcoin being too high or not going in the direction they want but when using the DCA method with a long term mindset, one don't need to worry about these things.

DCA is definitely a strategy that is able to encourage even new investors to begin investing, as it is easy and does not seem as intimidating. They won't have to come up with the large sum they think is needed for them to enter the market or wait for the right timing. Instead they can invest their money at regular intervals and put it in their pockets over time. This will help teach consistency. Patience, and financial discipline, as well as minimize the emotional effects of market volatility. DCA should not, however, be a substitute for good financial planning. It is important that new investors have an emergency fund and they invest only those funds that they can leave in the investment for the long-term. When paired with realistic expectations, DCA is a sound strategy for starting out on a Bitcoin investment journey.

Being aggressive is good, but doing it within your financial capacity is the best.
I think you're not understanding what it means to be aggressive in your buys. Aggressiveness has nothing to do with buying beyond your capacity and you don't necessarily need additional discretionary income to buy aggressively. Buying aggressively is putting in a bigger percentage of your discretionary income to buying Bitcoin. It's still done from the same discretionary income. Someone who used 70% of his discretionary income to buy Bitcoin is more aggressive than another who uses 50% of his discretionary income to buy Bitcoin. If an investor has finished building his backup funds, he can go as aggressive as using 70% of his discretionary income to keep buying Bitcoin while his emergency fund still remains intact.

The main problem is overaggressiveness which is buying Bitcoin beyond your discretionary income and it's not advised since there's every possibility the investor is using funds meant for his expenses as well in purchasing Bitcoin and this puts their portfolio in danger when the need to attend to those expenses arises.

The most important thing about DCA is to maintain yourself for continuous investment without worrying about market volatility. Many investors always wait for months to try to buy at the right time, but they can never start investing, it is necessary to use the DCA method to avoid such a situation. DCA is a disciplined investment method, there is no extra thinking, no waiting for anything, no rush, but rather a very good investment method for continuous investment through discipline. Therefore, DCA is undoubtedly a realistic and mentally comfortable strategy for those who see Bitcoin as a long-term asset.
