The $100 explain I gave am suppose to split it $50 can go for Bitcoin, $30 emergency fund then $20 for discretionary spending for self.
In making this split, you should have a proper understanding of why you’re putting certain percentage of your income for your emergency funds, certain percent for your DCA and certain percentage for your daily needs. That understanding helps you not to use money meant for investment for emergency funds and as well helps you to ration it in such a way that your investments is not lagging just because you’re trying to build an emergency fund.

Emergency fund is only useful when it’s able to protect your bitcoin when an emergency comes up. If it takes a large portion of your budget such that, the amount you’re putting into your DCA becomes smaller than expected, it becomes another issue.

Newbies that might not be too financially buoyant to buy a lot of bitcoin at a go while simultaneously building their emergency funds and other cash flow might have to reduce on the percentage that goes into their emergency fund while focusing on how much they are putting into their DCA per time. That strategy works and around for placement of right priorities.

I get your point, since emergency is this kind of thing that comes once in a while, then allocating 30% of your discretionary income might look too much. We know emergency funds is important in every successful bitcoin journey, but let not forget that accumulating Bitcoin is the top priority. I know at the end it all down to how every individual want to allocate their discretionary income, but it better to put much in Bitcoin investment.

Maybe something like 15% of your discretionary income will be ideal so you can pump much of your discretionary income into accumulation. There are people who even started their bitcoin investment without having emergency funds, so 15% is not bad.

It is important to maintain a balance between emergency funds and Bitcoin collection. Collecting for the long term is a good goal. However, one should not neglect one's financial security while fulfilling that goal. It is impossible to predict when an emergency will occur. If there is a sudden job loss or an unexpected family need, and there is not enough cash, the investor may be forced to sell Bitcoin at a loss.

However, it is not mandatory for everyone to allocate 30 percent of disposable income to an emergency fund. Some people have stable income while others have irregular income. Therefore, it is not realistic to set the same ratio for everyone. For some, 15 percent may be enough, for others, 30 percent or more may be needed.

The main purpose of an emergency fund is not to accumulate money to buy Bitcoin. It is to create financial security so that one does not have to sell one's Bitcoin in case of emergency. Therefore, one can create emergency savings little by little in addition to collecting Bitcoin. Once the necessary financial security is created, it will be possible to allocate a larger portion of disposable income to Bitcoin collection.

Putting 30% of your discretionary income in to your emergency funds doesn't look too much especially when you are just starting up your Bitcoin investment, though you can reduce it if that may be the case along the line when you must have gathered a good percentage of it, accumulation is a priority that doesn't mean we have to neglect the importance of an emergency funds especially when you just getting started, building your emergency funds is also a priority as it stands as your safety net towards your investment.

If the brand new investor doesn't have any form of emergency funds on ground, I think that 30% is cool to go into emergency funds from his discretionary income and I don't think that's much because if he puts 40% into his weekly DCA, 30% to build up his emergency funds till it gets to three months of his monthly expenses and 30% for his discretionary consumption.

For me, I prefer to divide my discretionary income into three equal parts 33.3% for my weekly DCA, 33,3% for building my emergency funds and the last 33,3% for my discretionary consumptiom. Your bitcoin accumulation will still be ongoing after you have finally build up your backup funds because you are on a long term ride which is why it's good to strike a balance between your emergency funds and your bitcoin investment in the beginning.

How you divide your discretionary income does not matter provided such division help you to continue to buy and preserve your bitcoin and also continue to live your life in a way that it does not make you lose yourself or your happiness just because you are making investment. Another thing I think should determine how someone will allocate his discretionary income is their level of aggressiveness in order to achieve a set target which they might have set for themselves. This can even make someone adopt your pattern or go with 60/40 for investment and emergency funds. Each individual should check what works for them beause that is what should determine their approach.

4 years is short-termed and it is truly not enough years for folks to grow their holding to a reasonable level and that's because of how volatile Bitcoin market seems to be....At times too,  there could even be prolonged bearish phases which could last for several couple of years, which could in the process lower the value of ones investment, making it difficult for that individual that is all so focused on the 4 years timeline to experience the kind of growth that investors of the 10 or more year timeline would experience... Infact the simple truth is that the longer the duration of ones investment, the more time there will be for that investment to experience growth and also yield better returns even though this returns cannot be said to be a guaranteed..

Backup funds point is the real thing that most people skip. Patience is a structure not just a mindset, if your DCA money and emergency money is being merge in a place, any small need can make you to sell at loss no matter patient you might think you are.

That why I would always advise newbie should first build up even a little emergency funds even if it a month or two expenses. Than start up a DCA with money you won’t want to rush to come use or need. And DCA will work well and better for you once you no longer wacht the price daily, because you know that you won’t want to touch it.
Your advice here is wrong because it can also mislead many newbies not to start investing in bitcoin because they feel it’s too expensive for them to start saving an emergency funds of two months of their expenses before they can actually get to start accumulating bitcoin. Newbies must not necessarily have to first build up an emergency funds of two months expenses before they can start investing in bitcoins. It is advisable that they should start investing in bitcoin if their discretionary income is ready and along the line they can be saving money to build their emergency funds gradually. Not having two months of emergency funds shouldn’t be a worry for them not to start investing In bitcoin, they shouldn’t delay getting started in accumulating bitcoin simply because of trying to build two months emergency funds as they can get to build the emergency funds even while they’re ongoingly accumulating bitcoin by dividing their discretionary income into some parts and then deciding on how much of a part of their discretionary income should be allocated towards buying bitcoin and the other part to be used for saving and building their emergency fund/backup funds and other of their discretionary spending.

Both emergency funds and Bitcoin investment funds should be all from discretionary funds (or are all discretionary funds) and so that means Bitcoin investment and keeping of discretionary funds can go or should go hand in hand to avoid not just delayed investment but a come in of reluctancy that can mean not ever investing again.
So if discretionary funds is available a newbie can start right away by deciding specifically what percentage of their discretionary funds will be invested in Bitcoin and the percentage to keep for emergency funds.

Because these funds are very discretionary, when we want to use them, they won't be hindered by other things that could cause problems. That's why we should buy Bitcoin with discretionary funds. When we need them, we can act suddenly, whether we want to sell or buy, especially knowing that these discretionary funds are very easy and flexible for all parties involved in the world of Bitcoin investment.

Having discretionary funds is a step that is desired by those who invest, because these funds allow us to make aggressive purchases without incurring the risks experienced by those who do so unless the funds we use are non-discretionary funds so that our freedom in doing so will not have comfort so that in the end we will always fail in investing in collecting the amount of Bitcoin that will become our assets for the future, so in my opinion it is very appropriate and comfortable when we make Bitcoin purchases with these discretionary funds.

It doesn't go down well with me to take my time to accumulate bitcoin over a long period of time and sell it all to start up a traditional business that's prone to inflation. I believe that in the long run that business wouldn't be able to generate the profit that your bitcoin stash which you sold will generate from the compounding value if you just hodli since, you have reached your accumulation stage.

However, if you want to diversify into a business, you should do that when you have accumulated half of your bitcoin target or more.
It's always important to understand bitcoin trading and its consequences because usually due to geopolitics, which has an impact on all markets, it makes things so level that it's never been easy to stay with bitcoin because the fear factor increases, but investors who are always well aware about all aspects never take decisions like this and stay with their investment of bitcoin because it gives them enough profit, which is good for fighting against inflation.Currently, thinking about having any other business is not good. The world is facing serious troubles, and anything can happen, so mostly businesses are not giving expected profits, and sticking with them has never been favorable. If someone is having an investment in bitcoin, he needs to stay in it instead of doing anything that gives a decrease in profit.

It is not a bad idea to plan yourself or figure out things to invest in Bitcoin, and this shouldn't look as if one is just waiting to invest in Bitcoin. If you have decided to invest in Bitcoin, I don't see any reason why you need to save some money first for an emergency fund. If you don't have enough discretionary income to buy Bitcoin and have some funds for emergencies, you can still start investing in Bitcoin and then consider figuring out an emergency fund while you continue accumulating Bitcoin.

I don't really get your point. What are selling or buying, your Bitcoin or what? Your statement is a kind of confusing since it does not give a clear chance of what your point really is. If you are talking about the freedom of selling or buying Bitcoin because you bought with your Discretionary income, then we must take away the selling aspect because as an investor, you should rather concentrate on buying more and not selling.

Our discretionary income is the left over money after taking care of basic expenses, and of course, we use it to buy Bitcoin and also for building up of our back up funds. Surely, we must always buy using our discretionary income and buying Bitcoin with wrong funds can outs our investment at great risk.

It is not necessary to create an emergency fund of 1 or 2 months in advance to start investing. If a person is able to find a source of discretionary income, then he can start investing. Emergency funds can be created while investing. It is possible to divide discretionary income into two parts and create an emergency fund in parallel.

If a person wants to start investing by creating an emergency fund equivalent to 2 months, then he will definitely miss out on many buying opportunities and it takes a lot of time to create an emergency fund equivalent to 2 months.
If a person is able to calculate his source of discretionary income correctly, then he can definitely start investing, without waiting for something.

at the end of the day, dca isn't about some fancy math, it's literally just about stacking sats with whatever spare cash u got w/o wrecking ur irl life. splashing everything in one go like a retard is just asking to get rekt by fomo, whereas chunking it out keeps ur mental solid and lets u actually survive long enough to make it.

That right, you shouldn’t allow not having emergency funds delay or stop you from investing in bitcoin. Emergency funds is something we can always figure out along the line as we are investing. In as long as we have discretionary income available we shouldn’t wait or delay investing in bitcoin because we have not build our emergency funds, we should just start investing as soon as possible.

Sometimes, there are people who go into or start their Bitcoin journey without having emergency funds, and it really not a bad thing. They will just have to look for means too get more discretionary income and start making provisions for emergency funds along the line.

Putting 30% of your discretionary income in to your emergency funds doesn't look too much especially when you are just starting up your Bitcoin investment, though you can reduce it if that may be the case along the line when you must have gathered a good percentage of it, accumulation is a priority that doesn't mean we have to neglect the importance of an emergency funds especially when you just getting started, building your emergency funds is also a priority as it stands as your safety net towards your investment.

You can not just pull out 30 percent of your income and keep it in your discretionary that is not how it is been done, what will determine if you would use such percentage of your income is if you have taken care of your needs then if the leftovers is up to that amount then good for the person. However, the fact that someone is new to Bitcoin investment doesn't give them right or warrant them to be overly aggressive in their accumulation because they will be jeopardizing their investment so it is better to start small and be able to sustain it than to start big and end up on the road. So, using 30 percent looks too much for a beginner.

So, using 30 percent looks too much for a beginner.
A person can not name a discretionary income from the start without first of all, attending to all the basic responsibilities available. When that is done, he can calculate his leftover money which would then serve as his discretionary income. It may be large or small. Also figuring his discretionary income does not also mean a person should invest his entire discretionary income into Bitcoin. As a beginner, you can start with 30% of your discretionary income. Note the difference, 30% of your discretionary income and not 30% of your income. With the other 70% of your discretionary income, you can share into your backup funds, emergency funds and even what they refer to as discretionary enjoyment. If you are able to sustain this pattern over time, you will get better and then you can decide on jow to improve your investment amount, perhaps, you are more disciplined and enthusiastic about your Bitcoin accumulation.

Backup funds point is the real thing that most people skip. Patience is a structure not just a mindset, if your DCA money and emergency money is being merge in a place, any small need can make you to sell at loss no matter patient you might think you are.

That why I would always advise newbie should first build up even a little emergency funds even if it a month or two expenses. Than start up a DCA with money you won’t want to rush to come use or need. And DCA will work well and better for you once you no longer wacht the price daily, because you know that you won’t want to touch it.
It is not a bad idea to plan yourself or figure out things to invest in Bitcoin, and this shouldn't look as if one is just waiting to invest in Bitcoin. If you have decided to invest in Bitcoin, I don't see any reason why you need to save some money first for an emergency fund. If you don't have enough discretionary income to buy Bitcoin and have some funds for emergencies, you can still start investing in Bitcoin and then consider figuring out an emergency fund while you continue accumulating Bitcoin.
That right, you shouldn’t allow not having emergency funds delay or stop you from investing in bitcoin. Emergency funds is something we can always figure out along the line as we are investing. In as long as we have discretionary income available we shouldn’t wait or delay investing in bitcoin because we have not build our emergency funds, we should just start investing as soon as possible.

Sometimes, there are people who go into or start their Bitcoin journey without having emergency funds, and it really not a bad thing. They will just have to look for means too get more discretionary income and start making provisions for emergency funds along the line. 

There is no need to delay investing in Bitcoin until your emergency fund is fully built. If you have some disposable income after meeting your essential expenses you can start investing in Bitcoin even with a small amount of money. Even so starting to invest does not mean that you should leave the issue of building an emergency fund for later.

We should remember that none of us knows in advance what kind of financial problems we will face in the future because humans cannot see their future. Suppose you have started investing in Bitcoin regularly but did not keep any emergency fund this month but you have passed several months of investing saying that you will start from next month but your emergency fund is empty. Now if you suddenly have to face an unexpected situation and need your money then you may be forced to sell your Bitcoin even if there is a major decline in the market. you may never want to sell your Bitcoin under normal circumstances. So in addition to starting to invest we should also focus on gradually building an emergency fund. A  portion of your disposable income should be allocated to buying Bitcoin and another portion should be allocated to creating an emergency and backup fund. Then when your emergency fund becomes strong enough you can increase the amount of investment in Bitcoin according to your financial capacity.

Our goal should not only be to accumulate Bitcoin as quickly as possible but also to create a financial position where we do not have to sell our long term Bitcoin investment early due to any unexpected situation.

If a person wants to start investing by creating an emergency fund equivalent to 2 months, then he will definitely miss out on many buying opportunities and it takes a lot of time to create an emergency fund equivalent to 2 months.
If a person is able to calculate his source of discretionary income correctly, then he can definitely start investing, without waiting for something.
If we look at the current situation, he will not be too deprived because the price is not going up very fast, so he can get time. If this is the solution for him to invest, then Bitcoin may cost him a little more, but he will be able to invest with the help of DCA. If you only want to do it for profit, then you will have to invest some income. If your goal is to accumulate Bitcoin and increase its number, then you will need a lot of money for this and perhaps emergency funds may also stop working. In my opinion, if the market is against you, then you have enough time and if it is running normally, then you can be deprived, but you should relax and invest in the market. So that it is not too much of a problem for you and you have money and do DCA.

This your statement is giving the impression that emergency fund can be postponed till later, but that’s wrong. Since the person has discretionary income available already and has divided it into three parts. He can start building backup funds alongside buying bitcoin from the portions. He doesn’t have to wait until later before you figure out how to build backup funds when the two can actually go at the same time.

That is why before starting an investment, an investor should first know about his income and his basic expenses. When a person can find out his basic expenses for the month, he can easily determine his additional income by deducting those expenses from his income. When the additional income is clear for a person, it will be easier for him to make investment-related decisions. For example, if an investor meets all his basic needs and sees a discretionary income of $50 at the end of the month, then he can start investing with some amount from this $50 and gradually increase the investment amount based on the increase in his discretionary income. If you start well with an amount less than your means in the beginning, you will be able to continue it comfortably and he will have a different interest in investing.

Because these funds are very discretionary, when we want to use them, they won't be hindered by other things that could cause problems. That's why we should buy Bitcoin with discretionary funds. When we need them, we can act suddenly, whether we want to sell or buy, especially knowing that these discretionary funds are very easy and flexible for all parties involved in the world of Bitcoin investment.

Having discretionary funds is a step that is desired by those who invest, because these funds allow us to make aggressive purchases without incurring the risks experienced by those who do so unless the funds we use are non-discretionary funds so that our freedom in doing so will not have comfort so that in the end we will always fail in investing in collecting the amount of Bitcoin that will become our assets for the future, so in my opinion it is very appropriate and comfortable when we make Bitcoin purchases with these discretionary funds.

An investor should have no business fucking around with selling their stash? Growth can never take place if the investor is buying and then selling off what they they should have allowed to compound in value. If person continues to make that mistake of selling what they should have allowed to grow, then that behavior can easily make the person a low coiner even after lots of periods of ongoingly accumulating.

Guys is supposed to know that investing isn’t just about the amount that person can buy, it is also about how long the person is able to hold for years and not selling. Selling is counterproductive, and that is why investors are supposed to have a long time thinking whenever they invest. Using even their discretionary income shouldn’t be an excuse for anyone to wanna outwit the market through hunting and selling for short time profits. Guys ambition should never be for profits but to keep on build and growing their bitcoin stash for a long period of time as they can.
