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.
Personally I don't think that it's a good idea to remove 30% of your net income with the purpose of investing with it when you have not taken care of your basic needs first, because by doing that, you may miscalculate, and falls back to your investment, so it's better to take proper care of your basic needs first, then anything that is left, which is your discretionary income is what you can invest with, or invest with it the way you illustrated above, even though I don't buys the idea.

It's mandatory that you put down your emergency and reserve funds from the discretionary income left, and you always must make provisions for your discretionary income for consumption, because at a point in your investment journey, you will want to buy some things that are important but are not part of your basic needs. So I don't think that this your idea is perfect, especially the part where you remove 30% from your net income to invest with, instead of taking care of your basic needs first before investing with what's left

May be he forget that essential needs should be taken care of before we can figure out our discreationary income, I think @Karl_3000 should understand that we don't have a specific entry period for lump sum, we must not lump sum when the price seems a bit down, lump sum can be done anytime, we don't even actually need to save up for lump sum since the money for lump can come from different angle at anytime too, first of before we can talk of whatever percentage we want invest with, there are necessities which we have to attend to then the discreationary income has to fall in for our bitcon continues acumulation

In lump sum buying it doesn't involve waiting for the price of bitcoin to be low . Buying bitcoin when the price is low is buying the dip and not lump sum buying.

, since your plan to investing in Bitcoin is to make profit and you can always achieve this go by various means.
A brand new investor shouldn't put all his focus on profits in order not to discourage him from continuing accumulating bitcoin over time because if he puts profits first, he will be distracted with it and sell when he sees profit instead of focusing his long term accumulation goal.

This is why a new beginner should try and have a bitcoin target that he will focus on accumulating and be consistent with his bitcoin accumulation disregard of whatever, is happening in the market to enable him teach his bitcoin portfolio faster. Your profit isn't running because it's always there so why, worrying yourself too much about it when you are supposed to be looking for ways to increase your income for an increase in your discretionary income so that, you can also increase your DCA amount.

Traders are the ones that are more focused on profits and if you let yourself to be carried away by the profits in your bitcoin portfolio, you will gradually, become a trader unknown to you that you have deviated from your main goal.

The best way which I use  to hold Bitcoin is by combining three things. First which is using the DCA method consistently,. secondly  is by building an emergency fund, this help not sell off my Bitcoin  stash during unexpected situations and thirdly is  self-custody This  gives me full control of my holdings. When these three work together, I'm not just buying Bitcoin I'm building a stronger and more sustainable investment strategy.

Alot of people end up mixing up buying the dip with the lump sum simply because they assumed that since the money they saved up seems to be bigger than their regular DCA it becomes a lump sum forgetting that their purpose of saving up f is to buy the dip, lump suming gives no regards to market conditions, in lump sum investors buys right away with the lump sum amount that they have made available without considering if the market is low or high what they are concerned about is their decision to buy right away.

Hopefully, you can be as consistent as other investors in buying Bitcoin using this method, especially now that the Bitcoin price has begun to correct significantly. I don't know exactly what's happening now that's causing Bitcoin's price to experience such a significant drop. But if we look back, at least since the World Cup began, I've seen Bitcoin's price consistently drop, as in 2018 and 2022. This year, with the tournament just around the corner, Bitcoin's price has begun to decline. However, this will certainly be welcomed by new investors, as they'll be willing to buy at the current price, even though there's been recent news that Saylor has sold some of his previously held Bitcoin.
Many factors influence Bitcoin's current price decline, resulting in a price drop, including global economic conditions and war. Typically, before the World Cup begins, the Bitcoin price tends to correct, as in previous editions of the World Cup, making this a prime opportunity for anyone looking to increase their Bitcoin holdings. With an effective strategy, this kind of downward momentum can be profitable for anyone, but it requires a sound financial management approach so that even when Bitcoin experiences a significant drop, we can adopt a slightly larger-than-usual buying approach.

The DCA concept is still quite popular with many people, especially those with smaller incomes but who always have a strong desire to buy Bitcoin. I'm still applying this approach in my current situation, although I can't say it's been consistent enough, but at least I'm still trying to follow that path. I've come to believe that if someone gets used to buying and investing before they're rich, then when they are, their investment amounts will naturally be much larger because their desires are already mature enough.
It's not so much the size of the investment that matters; what matters is consistency. If we aren't consistent enough to start, there's no hope of achieving financial freedom in the future. The investment amount can be adjusted to our income because we're not competing, but rather how we build investments sustainably and consistently. Applying DCA makes it easier for anyone, allowing us to adopt a consistent buying approach with a predetermined amount each time we want to buy using DCA.

To achieve wealth, thorough preparation is needed, especially regarding the capital we use, so there is no need to think about achieving wealth in a relatively short time because what is needed is how we can continue to invest consistently and in the long term, this wealth will be a portion that we will achieve slowly without having to sacrifice anything else.

I believe there are people who maybe making the same mistake of setting out a certain percentage of there income for investing in bitcoin instead of attending to there expenses and then used the extra income which is there discretionary income for investing. Before an investor may decide to invest they should first of all figure out if they have discretionary income to invest in bitcoin.
In lump sum buying it doesn't involve waiting for the price of bitcoin to be low . Buying bitcoin when the price is low is buying the dip and not lump sum buying.

This discretionary fund according to me will exist when someone already has a fixed or main income so if this fixed or main income just doesn't have then the discretionary fund will not exist, but even so we can buy bitcoin when we are receiving or getting money that is uncertain because it is not from a fixed income. But I agree with what you said, before starting they should first find out whether they have discretionary income or not to invest in bitcoin because it is better to use discretionary funds, and  because don't do it with the impression of forcing it because in my opinion that is not right, because basically if it is forced it is afraid that it will have a negative impact on other things such as needs for example.

Buying when prices are falling means that we are delaying investments that can actually be made right away from all the things that are actually ready. The price drop could happen but we don't know when it will happen or maybe it won't happen, as sir @jjg said below in the bolded sentence.

Guys might have lump sum amounts that could be available to invest into bitcoin (or into whatever other investment), yet they have to think about it and to ultimately authorize that value to be moved into bitcoin, and even if a person might have some lump sum amount that he later authorizes to invest into bitcoin, he might purposefully choose to consider each of the three categories of 1) buy right away 2) defer by time (aka DCA) and/or 3) defer by price (buy on dips that might not happen).

Accumulating Bitcoin when the price is low or falling doesn't mean you are delaying your investment unless your work is only to wait for the price to fall before you can start accumulating Bitcoin, as a volatile asset the price will fall and rise that's why we should be accumulating when there is a discretionary income, the fall of Bitcoin price is always a good buying time when you are persistently accumulating with the DCA strategy one can now decide to accumulate more during the market fall and also when the price is going up and hold for long. The strategy that delay investment is waiting for dip before accumulating Bitcoin because if only say when price is falling that's normal for the price to fall and people who are regularly accumulating will still accumulate Bitcoin by that time so that isn't wrong waiting before accumulating is what that is wrong most expecially for new investors that are supposed to be accumulating regularly.

When these three work together, I'm not just buying Bitcoin I'm building a stronger and more sustainable investment strategy.
Here you discuss DCA, emergency fund and self-custody, which are undoubtedly three important steps for long-term Bitcoin holding. However, I think it is more reasonable to view it as a 'Bitcoin savings strategy' rather than just an 'investment strategy'. Your goal should be to gradually accumulate more Bitcoin over time, without looking at short-term price fluctuations. And the emergency fund protects against forced sales in unexpected situations, the DCA method reduces the impact of emotions and self-custody ensures true ownership. The real power of these three is to increase the ability to accumulate Bitcoin in the long term, not just to create a simple investment plan.

waiting is not among the strategies for accumulating bitcoin and it is not a good idea for a low coiner or a no coiner to be waiting for bitcoin to dip before they start buying bitcoin while still remaining a low or no coiner. The focus is supposed to be on continuous accumulation of bitcoin and hold for a long term.
An investor can still buy the dip by keeping some percentage of there discretionary income for buying the dip and then being decaing with the remaining percentage. However, it is a wrong idea for anyone to be waiting for a desire dip before they can start accumulating bitcoin.

I will only agree with this if JayJuanGee clears this, I don't get your point, the lump sum that I know doesn't happen on regular bases and that's because the amount for lump some is not small and if what you said is correct that's to say that the DCA method that is done on a regular bases with our discreationary income consistently should be considered as lump sum, I don't think that you're right in this statement check back and correct yourself so that you won't mislead those that may not understand this, there is much confusion in most of the things you pen down here.

You seem to be mixing up things here with your idea that a lump sum has to be a large amount of money, no It doesn't. What a lump sum simply means is buying in one go instead of spreading the purchase over time so basically the amount itself isn't what makes it a lump sum, it’s how you chose to use the money to buy the bitcoin.
Now dca is different because it is based on consistency so that means wether you're investing $10, $50, or $500, as long as you're doing it regularly from your discretionary income, then that is dca.
Perhaps a person can be DCA-ing every week and still  be able to make a lump sum purchase whenever they receive extra cash or decide to deploy funds  that they already have sitting on the sidelines. So technically, these two strategies aren't really different from each other.
So I don't think anyone is trying to mislead anyone here, it just looks more like we're using different meanings for the term "lump sum." The size of the purchase isn't what determines it, it is  whether the money is invested all in at at once or spread out over time.

Buying when prices are falling means that we are delaying investments that can actually be made right away from all the things that are actually ready. The price drop could happen but we don't know when it will happen or maybe it won't happen, as sir @jjg said below in the bolded sentence.
Accumulating Bitcoin when the price is low or falling doesn't mean you are delaying your investment unless your work is only to wait for the price to fall before you can start accumulating Bitcoin, as a volatile asset the price will fall and rise that's why we should be accumulating when there is a discretionary income, the fall of Bitcoin price is always a good buying time when you are persistently accumulating with the DCA strategy one can now decide to accumulate more during the market fall and also when the price is going up and hold for long. The strategy that delay investment is waiting for dip before accumulating Bitcoin because if only say when price is falling that's normal for the price to fall and people who are regularly accumulating will still accumulate Bitcoin by that time so that isn't wrong waiting before accumulating is what that is wrong most expecially for new investors that are supposed to be accumulating regularly.

You are mix up DCa and buying dip when they are not the same thing. DCa can be done when the price is high and when the price is low. And buying when the price is low is the same thing with buying the dip. It is so pointless for person with little bitcoin stash to be buying the Dip, when they are meant to be ongoingly buying and building up their stash.  Even if person is not waiting to buy dip, that person will still want to be timing the market to know when another dip will come, and that's a traders mindset from me. Timing the market can later make person to start waiting to buy even when the person didn't use to wait before.

So you see why DCa is better, because in DCa person will just be buying ongoingly without minding what the price is.

Guys might have lump sum amounts that could be available to invest into bitcoin (or into whatever other investment), yet they have to think about it and to ultimately authorize that value to be moved into bitcoin, and even if a person might have some lump sum amount that he later authorizes to invest into bitcoin, he might purposefully choose to consider each of the three categories of 1) buy right away 2) defer by time (aka DCA) and/or 3) defer by price (buy on dips that might not happen).

You misquoted me.  Generally, I have no problem with buying while BTC prices are falling.  From my perspective, it is problematic when newbies or no coiners wait for the BTC price to fall rather than regularly buying bitcoin, and sure, if BTC prices are falling guys can continue to buy bitcoin as the price is falling, even though one of the problems of buying while prices are falling is running out of money to buy more...

I tend to recommend not to increase aggressiveness based on BTC prices falling.  I also tend to suggest that beginners or guys in their early bitcoin accumulation stages focus on managing their funds and figuring out their budgets so that they know how much bitcoin that they are going to be able to buy every week based on how much discretionary funds that they tend to have available and how much priority they will give to bitcoin versus savings versus discretionary consumption, and so the decisions to buy and how much to buy would be structured more around cashflow concerns and availability of discretionary funds and priorities rather than concerns about whether the BTC price might be going up, down or sideways, especially for beginners.

Guys have to figure out for themselves if they believe that there is any value in trying to strategize around the BTC price rather than strategizing around ongoing, persistent, consistent, regular and perhaps even aggressive buying, and I tend to consider relatively aggressive buying to be made when guys are pretty much buying bitcoin whenever they determine that they have money available to buy rather than guys fucking around trying to strategize, which I would consider to be more whimpy buying, even though guys can do what they want, and surely I understand that guys can get pleasures from being able to buy more bitcoin with the same amount of money because they ended up catching a dip or two.. so I am not completely discouraging the ideas of buying on the dip so long as guys are regularly buying, too... since it tends to take a long time to build up bitcoin holdings, even if some guys might be able to front load** their bitcoin investment or to lump sum** into bitcoin from time to time, it still tends to take a long time to build up a decent sized bitcoin holdings that will likely end up giving more options when guys hold more bitcoin rather than fewer bitcoin.

**By the way, lump sum and front loading are not buying the dip techiques, even though a decent number of guys tend to think about those two techniques as if they were the same as buying the dip.

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

Yes, what I mean is like just waiting for the price to go down to buy it, on the other hand we haven't accumulated Bitcoin at all. when the price goes down, either immediately with a large amount or gradually, but we don't know when the price will go down and if it is going down there is still a possibility that it will not immediately go up again. So if you really haven't accumulated Bitcoin before, start immediately.

I agree with what you said that we must accumulate when there is disposable income, also with our cash flow management must be learned, this proper money management can make it easier for us to fulfill everything we need and want.

I agree with your statement quite a bit. But I think the key is not just "not waiting for the price to drop", but creating a system where we can accumulate Bitcoin regularly, no matter which way the price goes.
Many times people wait for the dip and cannot accumulate any Bitcoin for years. So our main focus should be on the proper use of cashflow management, emergency fund and discretionary income.
When these foundations are strong, it is much easier for us to accumulate Bitcoin through regular DCA and short-term market fluctuations cannot affect our decisions as much.

Waiting for the dip before buying is not just pathetic, but it's even more unwise if you a low coiner or you are just starting out your bitcoin accumulation, because your focus then should only be buying and building a reasonable stash of bitcoin, not waiting for Bitcoin to dip first before buying, because no one knows when the dip may come.
So waiting will only delay your Bitcoin accumulation, because it is a wrong way to build a big stash of bitcoin, since the size of your stash will determine how successful you are going to be in the future.

May be he forget that essential needs should be taken care of before we can figure out our discreationary income, I think @Karl_3000 should understand that we don't have a specific entry period for lump sum, we must not lump sum when the price seems a bit down, lump sum can be done anytime, we don't even actually need to save up for lump sum since the money for lump can come from different angle at anytime too, first of before we can talk of whatever percentage we want invest with, there are necessities which we have to attend to then the discreationary income has to fall in for our bitcon continues acumulation
An investor can receive a cash gift or a work bonus and decide to lump sum with it, we can still decide to lump sum from our reserve fund during a dip since the fund is reserved for whatever we want to use it for and that may include dip buying. Bitcoin investment is all about proper planning and if the investor already plans for the dip and saves up for it while still maintaining his periodic buys, then he can employ the saved funds to buy during a dip and add to his portfolio for long-term holding. It is only wrong to buy from our emergency fund since bitcoin purchase is not an emergency.

If you encounter people who are waiting for the Bitcoin price to drop like that, just ask them how brave they are to buy and how much. I'm pretty sure such people wouldn't dare buy when they see the Bitcoin price drop, and they'd even prefer to find other reasons not to buy Bitcoin. For example, even though Bitcoin has already experienced a drop, people who still have a wait-and-see mindset clearly won't dare to buy more Bitcoin because their mindset is usually more about fear of buying Bitcoin than about buying Bitcoin.

To have a reasonable amount of bitcoin or a good stash in ones portfolio, an investor needs to be consistent in buying bitcoin. Waiting for a dip to occur before buying will definitely make them not to be consistent in buying and this will affect the quantity of bitcoin they stand to have accumulated. So instead of a no coiner or a low coiner to be waiting for a dip to occur which may or may not there attention should shift towards having a good portfolio and this they can only achieve through consistent buying.
