Of course Tmoonz is right with his ideas but since we disagree to agree here I will like to buttress and point out so fact that must have amounted to confusion of the other party.

Let's say for instance: We've got three major strategies for bitcoin investment which is DCA, Buying the dips and Lump sum. I believe sometimes this strategies do have some collision which is where agbamoni might be getting is wrong but this collision literally doesn't show up frequently.

Here is the instance; Using my Churchillvv as the case study,

Point A Churchillvv(1) usually practice the DCA method of investing hence does not care what the price is (volatility) as his intention must be for long term investment.

Point B Churchillvv(2), Also practice the buy the dips and he does care what the price is and tries to maximise profit by buying only when the price is low.

Point C Churchillvv(3) Also practice the Limb sum method of buying bitcoin, at this point he does not also care what the price is but because there is an extra cash flow he decides to go in at once.

Having identify this three points, the rare collision happens where, Churchillvv usually buys the dips but for some reason during this purchase he gets an extra cash follow which is not certain then decides to push in all the extra cash into his bitcoin investment, note at this same point bitcoin price is relatively low which also means the dips. At this point where he buys both the dips and also buys bitcoin using his extra cash flow which is expect in this instance to be huge to buy bitcoin it is now in a state of collision as both strategies occurred at this same time. which I see as the area where Agbamoni might be looking at but the fact is they (the three strategies) are different things all together.

So to put you Agbamoni in the right direction, lump sum means buying bitcoin only when you have a huge amount and decide ms to invest regardless of the current bitcoin price. This practice is more applicable when you usually get your money once in a while. But buying the dips means even if you have the money now and BTC price is relatively high you would rather wait even if it takes 365 days to reach your relatively low price before you purchase. Note the time differences

You're making this more complex than the difference in view of the two parties here. If I should summarise what was the major misunderstanding, it's that one of them wants to lump sum at a DIP price while the other want to lump sum the moment the fund is available. The issue with Lump summing at the DIP price is that you don't know which price is the DIP and you don't know how long you have to wait before it gets to that price and you also don't know if the price you're considering as a DIP target will eventually come or not. And another thing is that if the amount you're using to lump sum isn't all that much and is probably up to only $500 to $1k, it wouldn't make much difference to buy Bitcoin at $67k or wait for six months expecting it to DIP to $40k only to see Bitcoin price climbing up to $80k plus. That's where @Agbamonie missed out in his analysis

the main reason why it would take you too long to reach your accumilation point in your Bitcoin investment is when you're going about your accumilation in a nonchalant way and using only the fund that's not of use to you for your accumilation. I know that it's right to make the required plan that will see to it that you're not over investing above your financial capacity but mere investing with only left over cash wouldn't help increase the quantity of your Bitcoin reserve. It's best to be disciplined enough to separate your funds into different percentages such that you have a particular percentage that's allocated to Bitcoin and another that takes care of other aspect of your life so you don't treat your Bitcoin investments as your last option. Remember that for most people, if you don't do the necessary planning, you wouldn't have anything like left over cash because human wants generally is insatiable and the best you should do is to do a scale of preference and still allocate an amount that will directly go into any of the options once you've received your pay check.

This argument to me I don't really see that direction because almost all investor choose to lum sum when the price is in dip  only few investor can enter the market without minding the weather in dip or not we all know that investor tool are always center on the demand and supply laws or principle as there target even when they are accumulating for long term or short time is to make profit where to buy more, must not go off from their heart.

The truth remain that accumulating or buying of Bitcoin don't have specific time but every investor know what they want before entering into the market, the small dip can be enough to an investor who has made up mind to invest, in the investment or business profit making small fraction of market dip is enough to given you required profit, even when accumulating is not the same as trading but investor still seek to invest when there is a dip to enable them gain more when there is a rise.

I have been learning about Bitcoin for the past few months and am trying to figure out the best investing strategy for myself. As an experiment, I analyzed and compared two strategies, DCA and Buying the "Dip" and I have some interesting results that I wanted to share with you guys.
here

Disclaimer: This is not financial advice but for educational purposes only.

Period: Between April 2020 and April 2021.

Strategies:

DCA (weekly on Wednesday, bi-weekly on Wednesday, monthly on the 1st): Total $800/month
Buying the "Dip:" I define the "dip" here as when the price of Bitcoin drops to a certain threshold after its most recent all-time high (ATH). For all the periods that I am not investing, I am simply accumulating my USD. I am assuming that I will be able to add to my fund $500 twice a month, on the 15th and 30th. My investment fund will be divided into three parts and it will be invested as follow. I will invest 1/3 of my fund when BTC drops 20%, another 1/3 when BTC drops 50%, and the last 1/3 when BTC drops 65%. If for example, BTC drops 20% and bounces back to another ATH, I only use 1/3 of my investment and hold the 2/3 for the next dip.
To my surprise, all DCA strategies outperformed buying the "dip" by roughly 50%. Of course, hindsight is 20/20 and this is a very simplified model. No one can really time exactly when Bitcoin is going to drop. Invest smartly and only invest what you are willing to lose.

Making a clear point, in a simpler word "Dip does not present itself", implying we do not when price would Dip. That is the case, at times before we become aware that was the dip price, price has pump upward...when we think the dip price has occurred we can then see price dip more.

So it is a game of chance because it never presents itself.
In essence we just need to keep accumulating Bitcoin according to our suitable strategy building a solid Bitcoin portfolio rather than slowing the process because we are expecting dip prices, i believe any investor that is disciplined with his DCA strategy surely will buy the dip without his own notice because he is present at intervals of the Market.

These are different strategies in accumulating Bitcoin. Some investors use DCA strategy, others prefer buying the DIP strategy, while some DCA and also reserves funds to also buy during the DIP and some accumulate with lump-sum (Rich folks). All these approach are decisions made individually with what suits our bitcoin investment goals. Of all the strategies waiting to buy bitcoin during DIP alone without applying DCA strategy might slow your bitcoin investment growth because the price might not DIP to your desired levels and timing the market can be stressful. So why wait for the price to dip when you can be accumulating bitcoin through DCAing consistently to ensure steady accumulation, peradventure if it DIPs to your desired amount and you have extra bucks to buy fine but if it does not your accumulation through DCA continues to progress. DCAing can be done alone regardless of market fluctuations as long you keep it consistent but I don't see any need to wait for the DIP alone to accumulate bitcoin rather combining DCA with buy during DIPs can further enhance portfolio growth by taking advantage of lower prices when they occur.

But in this case we also can't just fixate on the number at the end. It may be true that when we are and buy bitcoin for $10 or $20 for a week it will not be enough for us in the acquisition of bitcoin but if indeed we can only afford that price then it is not a problem as long as we consistently do it. It will be much more worth it than forcing to allocate more bitcoin purchases than that but instead make your economy shaken because you are too forced to be in bitcoin which in the end the DCA scheme that is done becomes chaotic in the end.

It's not about sufficiency in the end, It is indeed possible to be in bitcoin for most people to be at a point where we have a large enough supply of bitcoin so that it is easy for us and enough for the future but that does not mean we also have to force to invest more than we can do and with a duration of time that is actually not profitable because after all the duration of investment must also be seen from our current age when indeed we are at an older age such as in a few years we have entered the retirement phase for example it will actually be a ridiculous decision if we force investment for a duration of 20 years or more so that for the duration of time we also have to look at our own conditions in the end.

Yes this will usually be the best strategy for a poor holder, as not everyone may be in favor of investing with accumulated money. So that person can regularly participate in bitcoin investment with small amount of money which is the best strategy for him. You notice that investing in the DCA method is much more likely to be a maximum long-term investment, because the price of Bitcoin is not always dumping and not always pumping.  Therefore employing DCA method is maximum perfect according to Bitcoin price, and it controls the average price.

You are correct. Dollar Cost Averaging method is always extremely easy solution for all class of people for Bitcoin investment. Historically, depositing fiat strategies in banks or insurance companies has been a long process, while bitcoin depositing strategies are much simpler. Whatever the dumping and pumping of Bitcoin's value is doing Dollar Cost Averaging which over a long period of time gives you more stacks than the price.Low accumulation strategy for normal investors may take longer to reach decent stash size but profits are high in long run.

You are not really wrong in anything you say.. and I think that the main point is attempting to understand that there are advantages in knowing the difference in order to potentially take advantage of the differences and attempt to figure out whether you might want to vary your own application based on the options that are available to you.

For example, if you already have a formula that you are going to spend a certain percentage of your newly incoming discretionary income (for example 33% of your newly incoming money is going to be spent on buying bitcoin right away, 33% is going to be set aside for buying dips and 33% is going to be set aside for float and/or reserves - presuming your emergency fund is already in place), then whether you receive higher amounts of money or not is not really going to make a difference because you already have a system that you are following (and yeah, you can also vary your system too in order to account for things happening with the price, the size of your BTC stash and other things going on in your life that also might relate to the 9 individual factors).

Many times folks like to juxtapose ideas of lump sum investing versus DCA, so yeah, you could be a brand new investor and you have $50k that is already saved up in various investments, so if you tell yourself that you want to have 15% of your investment portfolio invested into bitcoin, then that may well mean taking $7,500 from your other investments and investing it into bitcoin.. which surely might be a kind of lump sum investing. and then maybe you wait 1-2 years and then decide what you are going to do.

Some people are really in the practice of lump sum investing, so then frequently when they do it, they try to time their lump sum investment for a price dip, so they end up employing a kind of hybrid tactic, and maybe they are not realy interested in a DCA way of investing.. but they are timing their lump sum buys with attempts to buy dips.. which may or may not end up working out as well for them..  but if they might have a deadline for themselves that they are investing their lump sum within a certain period of time or under certain conditions, then that might be the way that they think about investing into bitcoin.

I frequently like to give examples of lump sum investments to be a way that a guy might invest into bitcoin, and that at the same time he supplements with DCA investing - so yeah in those kinds of cases we might imagine a person who receives bonuses or some somewhat surprise quantities of money 2-3 times a year, and with those extra amounts that come in, there can come opportunities for creativity that could include any of the three strategies in terms of how to treat those extra amounts, so maybe his regular DCA is right around $100 per week, but if he gets $3k 2 or 3 times per year, he may well have flexibility in terms of which category to put the money and if he adds to his DCA, maybe he creates a buying on dip fund (if he does not have any buying on dip fund in place) and maybe he also might decide to lump sum buy some BTC right away when that money comes in with a portion of it, whether it is 1/4 of it? or maybe 1/3 of it, or maybe 1/2 of it or maybe some other amount that makes sense after he assessed various aspects of his finances/psychology and his 9 factors.
