Does the DCA strategy inspire newbies to invest?

[ejikeme24]

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.

Yeah, I agree with you that discretionary income and emergency funds are very easy and flexible in time of spending it but mind you; for the fact that emergency funds and discretionary funds is flexible doesn't mean you have every right or that you should use them for irrelevant stuffs I mean using them for other things that is not supposed to be figured out using emergency funds or discretionary funds, for example. you want to buy ice cream instead of buying from your discretionary spending you went and bought it from your emergency funds or discretionary funds just because it is flexible this is absolutely wrong. An investor is meant to set up 3 different funds; emergency funds, discretionary spending and your discretionary funds which is the money that you will use for your Bitcoin purchase so it will be wise and professional if you allow this funds to serve Their purpose.

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.

Of course, the selling and buying referred to here can't be about any other thing except Bitcoin (buying Bitcoin and selling Bitcoin). Actually, investors can't be talking or consigned about selling of their Bitcoin holding because selling of their Bitcoin asset is a direct opposite to their doings which is buying of Bitcoin much more when accumulation target have not been met.

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.

You don’t necessarily need to have a lot of money to start accumulating bitcoin, what you need is just a discretionary income no matter how small it is. Bitcoin investment is done according to someone level of financial capacity and risk tolerance and that is why it’s important to invest with not more than what you can afford to lose. And considering the fact that you’re using the DCA strategy to accumulate bitcoin, it gives low income earners or people with unstable income source to invest according to their financial means by buying bitcoin either weekly or monthly basis depending on when they have their discretionary income figured out. Having a lot of cash is good but In bitcoin investment you need to apply financial wisdom and know your level of risk tolerance. You can start small and as time goes on you can be looking out for ways to improve your finances to be able to increase your discretionary income but what is important is that if you have a discretionary income you can start accumulating bitcoin without waiting to have lots of cash before starting.

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.

And this is where creating an emergency funds in our investment is important. Many people venture into an investment without seeing a need to have it on ground and when the need or situation that need urgency arises, they will be compared to used from their investment portfolio which is not healthy. Bitcoin investment is mainly for long term, and how you can see your investment throughout the period of time is what we're talking about. Hence, neglecting an emergency funds to the extent of not putting it into concentration is what failed so many investments in the past. Even though it's not as compulsory as we think at the starting point of our investment but it is wise we make provision for it in future if we want our investment save.

Look if you don't already have an emergency fund then you should pay equal attention to building an emergency fund along with starting Bitcoin investment. Especially if your income is limited and there is no alternative way to get financial assistance in case of emergency then creating an emergency fund should not be neglected in any way.

Suppose you started Bitcoin investment. But next month you face an emergency situation that requires cash. But your income is limited you don't have an emergency or backup fund in advance and even no one in your family is in a position to support you financially. Then what alternative is open to you? I don't think so. The reality is you may end up having to sell your Bitcoin holdings to meet the emergency need.

So in my opinion those who don't already have an emergency fund should try to build an emergency fund according to their ability right after starting investing. Because you don't just have to focus on increasing Bitcoin accumulation you also have to create such a financial position so that you don't have to break your long term investment in unexpected situations.

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.

The fact that someone start their Bitcoin investment without emergency funds doesn't mean they postponed it or it doesn't mean it is not important but rather it is what is right to do. Whenever, someone has a discrestionary income available but no emergency funds yet, you don't have to get emergency funds before starting but you should endeavor to set it up before you encounter any challenge in your Bitcoin investment that may cost you a lot. Sadly, one's emergency funds can never be sufficient enough as we don't know the kind of emergency that may come up.

If your goal is to accumulate Bitcoin and increase its number, then you will need a lot of money for this

With a gradual and a consistent accumulation of bitcoin you may not need alot of money to increase your BTC stash, many investors that have large portion of bitcoin in their possession start buying gradually using the dca strategy, they did wait until they have a lot of money before they got started, they started small gradually increase their bitcoin portfolio, this is also one of the importants of the dca strategy if you accumulate with it consistently for a long time will be able to accumulate enough BTC.

I think one thing many beginners overlook is that successful investing isn't just about how much Bitcoin you manage to accumulate, but also how well you prepare yourself to hold it for the long term. Imagine spending years building your portfolio, only to be forced to sell some of it because an unexpected expense comes up. That defeats the purpose of having a long-term strategy in the first place. This is why I believe financial planning should go alongside Bitcoin accumulation. You don't necessarily have to build a huge emergency fund before making your first purchase, but gradually creating that can make a big difference. The goal isn't just to accumulate Bitcoin, it's to put yourself in a financial position where you don't have to sell it prematurely.

discretionary funds which is the money that you will use for your Bitcoin purchase so it will be wise and professional if you allow this funds to serve Their purpose.

The money left over after all your expenses are paid is your discretionary income. To be honest, not all of your discretionary income is allocated to buying Bitcoin. If you spend all of your discretionary income on Bitcoin, it could be an aggressive buy. If you want to buy aggressively, there are a few other things you need to consider. Otherwise, you may be forced to sell when you need.

You may have $100 in discretionary income each week after deducting all your expenses. You might consider putting $40 toward buying Bitcoin, $30 into an emergency fund, and the remaining $30 for personal expenses. If you consider your financial situation and reduce your Bitcoin purchases next week and increase your savings, that is not a financial mistake. The key is to determine what you are allocating that money for now and whether you need to change that allocation in the future. Of course, it's not a good idea to use your emergency fund money for unnecessary purchases, except in an emergency. But how you use different parts of your discretionary income depends on your own financial situation. I think it's more important to understand that discretionary income can be divided into different purposes according to your needs, rather than considering all of it as money to buy Bitcoin.
