Three best ways to hold bitcoin combined.

[Nahl]

I have financial limit which make me not possible to buy bitcoin with large amount of money so, DCA is the best method which i can used if i want to invest in bitcoin and as i said before this method is successfully to make me can accumulate my bitcoin consistently and to used this method usually i will allocate 10% or sometimes less from my salaries to buy bitcoin monthly or weekly

Speaking about buy from the deep indeed this is good strategy because when the prices low it's good opportunities to buy more bitcoin and hold it until the market recover again but the definition about the deep will be so various and we never know at what prices we can called bitcoin reach to the deep whether it $70000 or probably $50000 which we never know too when it will be happen

To me, the most important thing about hodling bitcoin is your mindset and not how you choose to accumulate it. You can choose to DCA, buy the dip or buy lump sum, but if your mind is centered around short term targets, you might miss the opportunity of making good returns. Your investment might as well just be a waste of time because of the limited time given to your investment to beat volatility.

Considering the nature of bitcoin today, anyone who wants to hodl bitcoin should have a long-term mindset. That is the surest way to guarantee profitability.

[Swordsoffreedom]

I don't believe lump summing can be helpful to an investor investing with a budget income.

It will still give you profit, even better profit than DCA vs BUY THE DIP strategy. But you can only achieve that if you can buy at bottom or near the bottom, and if you can hold long enough. Just like people who can buy bitcoin at $15k or $20k in the 2022 bear season will have better returns than people who used DCA strategy in the last 4 years with the same capital.

In general, no matter what strategy, the goal is still to accumulate bitcoins, so all of them will bring us profit. Which strategy is better and more profitable will depend on how each person uses it.

DCA remains the best strategy for Bitcoin accumulation.it helps individuals to have a time frame for purchase of Bitcoin at a given price either by weekly or monthly regardless of the price.it helps a bitconer to study the movement of the Bitcoin prices at particular point in time.
The good advice is noted and i appreciate

Yep.

For this, we need to understand BTC itself.

Without this knowledge, we wouldn't know why we need to hodl properly, for long term.

Investing in bitcoin must depend on you as an investor. This is why other people's investment strategies may not work as well for you as it did for them because they created those strategies with their own preference, goals, capabilities and even mental capacity to invest in bitcoin. So those same things may not work exactly for you.

I completely agree.

Each road that is paved for those who use BTC is different. And that's what's great about it to some degree.

The third method does not seems economical to me. I would go with lumpsum once the price dips, that like a combination of the 2nd and 3rd option.

But, the third one in the list is also lump sum. Going only with the one of the methods mentioned can indeed be non economical and maybe that is the reason on why the OP came up with such a thread, which is we will now combine the three of them. In terms of maximizing, then the best to do is to just do a lump sum method once the price dips a lot.

Basically I am into only with first and second way of accumulating bitcoins. When you are into periodic DCA along with doubling at bottoms then you will probably left with enough money for a lumpsum on extreme case of bottom occurs. So, practically doing all the three must not be feasible for me and for most people here who go for day job and from the saving, investing in bitcoin.

Knowing the three best ways to invest and hold some BTC of your own is good, but knowing how to combine all three to your advantage is the best way to secure your financial future.
You just gotta know what works best for you and only improvise when you meet real life crisis that maybe need some large financing to make you safe.

I always see DCA as the top strategy among the rest and that's why I would only advise you start and maintain a disciplined and consistent DCA strategy inorder to understand the market and build stamina to hold for longer, while mixing in the lump sum strategy or the other strategy, when there's more money to invest.

3) Custodial exchange or wallet — A binary exchange or mobile wallet for liquidity and trading purposes where the platform holds your keys.
Why use it: Convenient for quick buying, selling, staking, or using services.
Recommended tasks. Keep a small portion (e.g. 5–15%) here — for trading or everyday needs.
 Always use 2-FA, strong passwords, and cooldown/withdrawability settings.
Risks and tips: Exchange hacks or trading failures — so don’t keep large amounts on exchanges. How to use them together (Combined strategy)

I do not keep any money on centralized wallets or exchanges because I prefer to have overall control of my coins. I can use them to buy bitcoin but I will withdraw the coins after buying it.

Have you heard about DCA which is not something that is new? Buying bitcoin like every week or every month. This is a good strategy to buy and hold bitcoin in a way you will not think of bitcoin price falling.

The second one is to average buy buying the dip. When bitcoin price fall to like $100000, you can buy bitcoin. When the price fall to like $90000, you can buy more bitcoin and do on.

The third one is lump sum when you think that bitcoin price has fallen very well, you can use the remaining part of your money to buy bitcoin.

How it works
From your 100% money you earn weekly, set 30% aside to buy bitcoin
From the 30% use just 10% from it to DCA
Use 10% to average
Use the remaining 10% which you have saved up for months to buy lump sum if bitcoin fall to like $70000.

I do not know if bitcoin will fall to $70000, but if it does not fall to that price or the price you want to lump sum, that means you still invest 20% of you money on bitcoin.

Every DCA strategy is welcome, if it is not convenient you won't keep doing it, this is your strategy don't expect it to be easy for others.

You talked about using 30%, it can never be the same for many because everyone has different type of responsibilities, some people can't even save 20% of their income for anything else because they have money problem.

Some people use most part of their money like 80% for bills and foods, let's be realistic for once, bills comes first, they need to be settled if you want to keep having a roof over your head, and you can't also cheat eating food, you will die.

I don't need to advise people to never put Bitcoin first before their bills, if they do they will give up very fast, reality will hit sooner than later. To me DCA strategy is DCA strategy, everyone should do what is easy for them, life itself is not easy.

I do not keep any money on centralized wallets or exchanges because I prefer to have overall control of my coins. I can use them to buy bitcoin but I will withdraw the coins after buying it.

That's the right thing to do.

You don't have to keep all of your money in the exchanges when you're not going to do any trade at all.

And if you have the urge to hold those coins into your own wallet where you own the private keys. You're way better than most of the newbies there that think that it's "funds are safu".

Because that's what they believe that their crypto assets are safe in the exchanges which is totally not.

[ruykeri]

If you invest in three ways at the same time to experiment, then that is not a problem. This will give you a much deeper understanding of your investment and you will be able to understand which is the right investment method. But I do not agree with this issue in terms of permanent investment. You should invest correctly in any one way. Especially those who are new to the world of Bitcoin should start investing with relatively low risk. In that case, the DCA method is the best and most effective method. Not only new ones, every investor should invest with as little risk as possible. Therefore, considering all aspects, investing in Bitcoin by following DCA has relatively low risk and can yield very good profits in the long run. It should be remembered that Bitcoin is basically a means of investing for a long time, as a result of which a person and his family can live a secure life in the future. And if you invest in the short term through buying dip or lump sum methods, it is very risky. That is why you should think carefully and acquire basic knowledge before investing.

Such good advice, but we're not sure how long this price will struggle to rise. If there is no good news coming next week, we may see further price drops.

I might be better off waiting for a much better opportunity to buy at a lower price, and I prefer to begin DCA near block halving because this is the start of a new cycle, and we may see a bearish season this coming year. DCA isn't a good idea unless you do it close to block halving.

If you can stomach seeing your money drop before it rises again then go DCA even before the bear cycle. You would have to ignore all the FUD because there will be a lot and you might feel a bit worried inevitably. Which is why people take out their money before the bear cycle then accumulate more before the bull run.

That's the only disadvantage of doing the DCA method: you need to ignore everything and control your emotion because if you can't, you will end up selling your BTC at a negative profit.

I think to avoid such a scenario, every time the price drops, buy a portion of BTC and transfer it to a cold storage wallet. Make sure you don't watch the current value of your wallet so that you won't be worried about the negative profit.
Or the safe way, I think, is to buy only near blockhalving and wait for 1 year.

[abaeze]

Every 4 years, the “block halving” and its impact on Bitcoin can be expected to have a similar bullish wave at the end of 2025-26. After the approval of the Bitcoin Spot ETF in 2024, large financial institutions such as BlackRock, Strategy, Fidelity are buying Bitcoin directly. As a result, large funds have increased market liquidity in the long term, and due to this, the price is likely to increase gradually from stable. In addition, the US government's reduction of interest rates on Bitcoin investments and the adaptation of Bitcoin around the world can still be expected to lead to a bullish market.

Therefore, it is wise to patiently keep DCA running regularly and be prepared to take advantage of good opportunities if the price suddenly drops.

Have you heard about DCA which is not something that is new? Buying bitcoin like every week or every month. This is a good strategy to buy and hold bitcoin in a way you will not think of bitcoin price falling.

I can't invest in Bitcoin in lump sum and even if I do, I'm not sure I can hold it for the long term. That's why the most appropriate strategy would be to only do DCA on Bitcoin. This strategy will reduce the risk of buying Bitcoin and also provide the maximum opportunity for long-term holding. That's why I think DCA is the safest and most reliable strategy among all the options to accumulate bitcoin.

[Findingnemo]

You can apply the lump sum of buy the dip but DCA is for the retail investors who make salary and want to acquire as much as bitcoin which is why the dollar costing average of buying a fixed amount in fiat along with discipline can get them to somewhere when the price of bitcoin just keep increasing after every cycle.

DCA is indeed the best strategy for us to collect Bitcoin, this can be used by many people both beginners and people who already have experience investing in bitcoin, DCA will be very safe because it avoids extreme price fluctuations like yesterday for example, or on sharp declines, this will make it easier for us to stay on the road of long-term productivity collecting bitcoin.

Especially for workers whose salaries do not leave much for investment, using DCA they allow themselves to have a lot of bitcoins by buying sustainably every week or every month, unfortunately few people do this, they prefer to enter directly and leave it, but it will certainly be psychologically shocking because fluctuations usually depress mentally when there is a significant decrease in our purchase price.

You can buy in lump if you want to and by DCA to if you don't have the budget for the lumps, in reality, if you hodl, you will see results either way..But they may differ a bit.
