[Sammye3]

I was thinking this time without number, if it still vital that emergency funds should be  necessary if your income is coming steadily every week you DCA , is their a need to have an emergency funds or reserve funds as a newbie, how should it be a necessity, because your income is coming without missing, and you are still applying the DCA strategy without missing so of what use is an emergency funds.

As the name implies "emergency funds", it does not mean that the emergency would relate to just crypto because it could be for anything at the point where the available resources are limited and urgent intervention is needed. It could be a family issue or a health issue that needs immediate attention so it is important to always have an emergency funds in every situation.

It is not also a necessity to always use emergency funds to invest, as long as whatever investment you're making does not affect your daily living or you're investing for short term profits. With the absence of these conditions, I would say that you're cool with any type of investment you choose to start.

Are you prepared for the possibility that your source of income may stop for some reason? Are you prepared for the possibility that you may become physically ill? If you are not prepared, start preparing today. It is very important to have these financial preparations. Investing in Bitcoin is important and having an emergency fund is equally important for long term holding. I hope you have understood the importance of an emergency fund.

The answer to your second question is that if you are new to Bitcoin investing and do not have any extra/emergency funds available, then you should start in this situation. You do not need an emergency fund at the moment you start accumulation Bitcoin. But have a plan so that you will gradually build this fund. If you do not have any extra amount for an emergency fund, divide the discretionary income from your current source of income into 3 parts. 1/3 part for Bitcoin, 2/3 part for an emergency fund and another 3/3 part you keep in cash for extra expenses.

The idea of ​​DCA with discretionary income protects the continuity of the investment. But in the case of long-time Bitcoin holding, various types of financial problems can arise in life. In case of any serious need, urgent money may be needed. If there is a backup fund or emergency fund, then it will be saved from selling Bitcoin at the wrong time. For this main reason, creating an emergency fund is given so much importance in the case of investing in Bitcoin. And suppose you are doing DCA, discretionary income is being generated from a strong income flow, from which you are buying Bitcoin regularly, ignoring future risk based only on your current condition can never be a good decision. However, this does not mean that you have to create a huge emergency fund before you start investing in Bitcoin. You will create an emergency backup fund along with the investment, which will allow you to increase your DCA amount with that money when you have accumulated 3 to 6 months of money in the future.

The purpose of emergency funds is for emergency reasons. These are unexpected events that happen that will require you to need money urgently, if you have not emergency funds reserved before investing into bitcoin, even if your money comes in weekly steadily, you’ll still have to touch your investment and settle for the emergency reasons.

So having an emergency fund is important in order to not allow your investment be a place to go to solve emergency problems. It is even important that you have an emergency funds set aside before using the remaining funds to invest in bitcoin. Using this method and also employing the DCA strategy will make your investment flow as it should.

Yes you need to have an emergency funds even if you have steady income and you have allocated some percentage to invest and some to taking care of yourself, in everything you still need to emergency funds and here is why I think so.
You can never determine the strength of the emergence you may face, you could be face with emergency that are even your entire weekly, monthly or quarterly income depends on how you earn may not be able to cover the emergence.
Emergency funds saved over a period of time can really help you with unforseen circumstances.

First of all, you should know what is an emergency fund? And what is an emergency fund for and when is it used. Then maybe you will find the answers to your questions. An emergency fund is not related to any investment strategy, but to investing.

Real life is never predictable, we face unexpected events regularly. There is no guarantee that even your source of income will continue to serve you for life. There is no guarantee that you will not be in danger or in an emergency. Imagine that you have been fired from your job or your source of income has been destroyed or you or someone in your family has faced a major crisis where you need a lot of money for medical treatment or legal troubles or for any other need. An emergency fund is mainly used in these emergencies. At such times, an emergency fund is needed so that you can solve the problem with an emergency fund without selling investment funds if necessary.
