Brother, thank you very much for correcting me. Yes, depending on Bitcoin, we can reach our desired level with the help of proper management. And to manage it properly, we must first invest and have an emergency fund and reserve fund to handle any unforeseen situation.

While you accumulate Bitcoin using your  discretionary income, it must be noted that you must ensure to begin to build up your emergency funds too alongside other back up funds. Well, this of course depends on your level of income as to know your discretionary income and then know and/or do a perfect discretionary income allocation.

Of course as an investor, you need the emergency funds, surely. Just as the name implies, it's a fund that helps you settle your emergency situation that demands money, medical bills, accident, repair of motor parts or any equipment at home, etc. Because these needs can show up anytime, we must be prepared for them so we can settle them. And for this reason, we must build up our emergency funds from our discretionary income. So if you use all your discretionary to invest in Bitcoin, you might be missing out on building a strong emergency funds and other back up funds which will sustain your investment.

So it's very normal or necessary that when once or salary comes, after sorting out basic expenses, then our left over money that is not in use, which is our discretionary income, should be allocated properly, as assigning some for your Bitcoin investment and some for emergency funds and other back up funds, while some might also go for self treat as we all need a good life, even though such allocation is based on priority.


Taking advantage of Bitcoin fall in price depends on choice, that's if you are interested in such dips to buy, and on the other hand, if you are also prepared for such buy. Someone who has some extra cash saved up for the dips will buy and Hodl, while if you have not saved up anything or not ready, would just continue your normal weekly or monthly DCA accumulation depending on what suits your income or cash flow.

So it's not more of studying the market or nor sure of the Dips, taking advantage now depends on the investors readiness to meet up such buys, as no good investor would go an extra mile to buy aggressively when he hasn't planed for such buys. Though it might be personal risk, not mine to take, but I think it's not advisable. Buying must meet readiness to avoid future panic sells which ends your assets rather too soon.

I don’t think any investor here is belittling any approach or accumulation pattern which truly is in line for a long term bitcoin investor to buy with and hold for the long term goal. Even though most investors here seems to prefer or favor using the DCA method to consistently or perhaps persistently accumulate bitcoin and hold for the long term goal with just their discretionary income to gradually build up their portfolio and along the line if as they are consistently accumulating bitcoin and the dip presents itself then they will only see it as a good opportunity to accumulate more in a discount price, although most largely depends on the investors readiness and preparedness in terms of the extra cash or money they already have kept or saved separately incase of a time like this so they could also afford the luxury of accumulating in the dip without stressing themselves or trying to over do themselves looking for more money or going into borrowing simply because they don’t want to miss out on the dip buying.

Of course buying the dip is one of the accumulation strategies and Every investor is happy to accumulate bitcoin at a more reduced or lower price (dip), but what the investors in this thread is against is the fact that most people will intentionally wait for the dip to occur before they can accumulate bitcoin. As a long term investor whose purpose is to invest for the long term goal, it’s a bad investment mindset waiting for the dip to occur before you ca accumulate bitcoin and hold, anyone who does that is no longer an investor but a trader who’s just in for a quick profit making mindset because you only target to buy when the price is low so that you can sell immediately you noticed that the price is a bit up. Also, these set of people will panic to sell whenever they noticed a little downturn in the market as it is no longer going their way and they will sell at a huge loss. Instead of waiting for the dip to occur before accumulating bitcoin as a long term investor, you can easily buy bitcoin with just a discretionary income either weekly or monthly depending on how your income flows and gradually build up your portfolio. So in conclusion, I don’t think investors here are belittling any strategy (dip), is just that they believe waiting for the dip to occur before buying will kind of slow them down in their accumulation journey and can possibly make them to abandon their bitcoin investment as they might be waiting for the dip which may not occur and so because if that they decide to be accumulating bitcoin regularly with their discretionary income and gradually build up their portfolio and hold for the long term goals.
So, we DCA
We also buy the dip and hold, but we don’t wait for the dip to occur before we accumulate.

For your information nobody is trying to belittle buying the dip, but instead having a good strategy to buy the dip that is what is always emphasized here, and also you don’t have to be waiting for a dip before you’ll buy bitcoin, that is the difference, so you should endeavor to understand what is happening in this thread.

Right now there is a dip nobody is stopping you from buying, you can always buy bitcoin and accumulate at any time you feel comfortable and you have a discretionary income, but like I always said it’s more easier for people who have different cashflow and other money saved aside for buying a dip when it comes, than people who doesn’t have enough discretionary income, then it would be better to buy through the DCA.

Let us assume I already bought Bitcoin before the dip, and there are no different cashflow, or other money saved aside for buying the dip, what do you expect someone in this situation to consider doing, well I will have to wait for my next pay check to come before I can have a discretionary income, what is the tendency that the dip would still be obtainable.

I have just joined this platform to learn about Bitcoin. I think if we are still not sure and are focused on the situation to see how the situation goes, then we will never learn. If you do not go to school, you will not learn education, and if you do not invest, you will not know how to do business. So if you want to know how to do business, you have to invest even if it is in a small amount. I think if you do not join in investing, even if both the windows or doors are open, you will not learn either business or investment. So if you want to learn without delay, you have to invest.

Dude I think you don't understand the meaning of Op. Op simply means Owner of post or post owner and so the person you are calling op is not an op because the person is not the one that created this thread. And yes you seems to be making a lot of sense in your post, waiting for the Dip is a lazy and uninterested person excuse or format and sometimes they feel they are doing or deceiving someone untill they found out they are actually deceiving themselves. The DCA method is a very nice method to accumulate Bitcoin and I believe if not for the DCA method most or some of the people we are seeing as an investor today would not have invested because some don't have the money or the capacity to buy lump sum and the dip is something you don't have to rely on because it may not get to your desire point.

Most new investors still think waiting for the perfect dip is the smartest move, but they forget that the market rarely gives anyone a perfect entry. DCA keeps you in the game regardless of what the chart looks like. Even if the price drops further, you’re still averaging down instead of sitting on the sidelines watching the next rally pass by.
Timing the market usually ends up being an emotional decision, people either wait too long or jump in when it’s already running. The consistent approach through DCA removes that pressure and builds a better habit over time. Anyone trying to build a long-term position in Bitcoin should focus on consistency first, not prediction.

Your statement is a little bit confusing mate, what did you mean by we shouldn't only think of buying bitcoin when it's high? Are you indirectly saying that we should all wait to buy during the dip? If that's the case then I think you're missing the whole concept. Moreover the market is unpredictable so there's no need of timing or waiting for a perfect time when you can finally Invest into bitcoin unless you just want to waste your time in the market, so the reason why alot of people like being consistent with bitcoin investment is because they wouldn't want the price to grow more than this before they will be attempting to buy that is why they buy regardless the value of bitcoin because they believe that it will double in the future.

The best of both worlds😌😌
DCAing and buying the DIP are really an amazing bitcoin investment combo if applied the right way, these series of dips that have just occured have shown people that they can still buy the DIP even when they are still accumulating using the DCA method, to alot of people who are buying this dip, it came to them as a suprise but they were fast enough to not let such a golden opportunity to pass them by so they immediately went into buying the DIP, one dip after the other.
Anyone who thinks this combo isn't ideal for bitcoin investment probably doesn't really understand what bitcoin is fundamentally.
