While you wait, instead of holding money in the bank, buy stable coins, then track the market for however long is suitable before you shift them into bitcoin for profits. Bank is a common place for monthly charges, which isn't great to customers, even worse for a bitcoiner, don't let them beat you into trusting their service charges.
Your idea does seem brilliant, as it can at least preserve the value of your money and potentially generate a small profit since stablecoins don't fluctuate as much as other coins. However, compared to storing your money in a bank, it's clearly much better to temporarily store it in a personal wallet in stablecoins before converting it back to Bitcoin. However, if the timing is right, I think simply converting it directly to Bitcoin is also fine, as stablecoins are also only temporarily chosen.

Although USDC and USDT are crypto, they are pegged to the USD, so they are essentially no different from fiat. Holding them is not necessarily safer than holding fiat, as you might think.

Stablecoins are centralized, and even if you keep them in a personal wallet, they can still freeze your fund. The risk is even greater if you store it on centralized exchange, and as we all know, CEX carry significant risks. They are no safer than bank

There is nothing wrong with holding stablecoins, and that is what most investors do before investing in bitcoin. But do not think they are any safer than fiat and banks.

Of course, btc is an investment and clearly has a good future. But keep in mind, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. It’s better to leave some extra cash in your bank in case of emergencies. Also, if the price falls, the losses might be bigger compared to your expenses. But the good thing is, you can still recover as long as you don’t sell at a lower price than when you bought it, because eventually the price will go up again. Unlike those expenses, that money won’t come back no matter how long you keep your money in the bank.
This is clearly a must. We shouldn't go all-in on a single asset, as the risk is very high, and we also need to maintain an emergency fund for unexpected events. This is often the mistake made by those new to the crypto space: they don't set aside an emergency fund, which ultimately ruins their entire investment if something bad happens.

We also need to be prepared to hold for a very long time. Bitcoin is highly volatile, and it's possible that when we buy, we'll have to hold for a long time because the market is also in a sharp decline. Therefore, DCA is also recommended.

When people save their money in the bank, they not only suffer from unreasonable fees, but they also lose value on their money due to inflation over time, causing the purchasing power of that money to continuously decline, and they also lose full control over their money.

That is why saving money in the bank is not recommended for preserving wealth in the long term. On the other hand, bitcoin becomes the best option to preserve wealth in the long term because it offers a hedge against currency devaluation and people have full control over their assets.

Stable is pegged at 1 USD and drops by a range of 0.01% to 0.04% a small fraction of the whole, then normalizes at 0.99 at most. The benefit of the digital fiat is to escape steady deductions, like Op complained, lost value on stable coin isn't bothersome. Except for the centralized nature of stable it's fine to hold around for months or even few years.
