Emergencies funds are not that easy to prepare, because you must be making a lot of money to be able to put some funds aside for emergencies and still be able to take responsibility at home, this can be very demanding, so the best advice I can give anyone about Bitcoin accumulation is to get a good job, and make sure you cut your clothes to your size.

Just because your friend can buy or DCA with $100 every week into Bitcoin doesn't mean you must do the same thing, your friend's job might be paying a lot more than yours, and also the responsibility of your friend might be lower than yours, do not chase anyone when DCAing into Bitcoin.

Buy and Hold based on how much you are earning, if you are earning less, then invest less in Bitcoin, you need to remember that surviving throughout the bearish market is tasking on its own and that's why you need to invest what you can only afford to lose, it's going to be a tough ride but if all you invest is money you won't be needing for the next few years, you will make it through peacefully.

Will it be most efficient at the end of the day, I really don't think so, Newbies can go for this strategy as they are not very experienced and they don't possess the lumps and sums. Why be dependent if you are capable of doing much better?


Haha... So my senior brother/sister you are in a very big misconception, the Bitcoin cycle is a reality and its proper analysis is very important because you won't be able to make any efficient decision without it.



Do consider that..  here we are not discussing the financial goals, it's purely about the Bitcoin accumulation, Everyone knows family is to be always your first priority, senior.


A very good point I was considering this point here but due to the length optimization I exclude this external factor. Anyway all you need to know about strategy is already there for the proper accumulation process as pre and after management, we can discuss later in any other topic.


First of all the 1-year hold and invest can't be considered a long-term investment it may fall into the semi-mid-term investment. Let me clarify but in the Bitcoin, a cycle lasts 4 years and in the cycle, the time span is not at all specific with any zone as any zone may last 2 years+ or any zone may last in a few months. booking profit on ATH cant be a long-term holding as a long-term.


Thanks for the appreciation pretty disappointed by the response on the thread as everyone seems to be discussing the DCA DCA & DCA nobody considering the discussion of the Zone specific strategies which were mentioned to be discussed as after this whole study before posting and in my post as well I did mention that DCA can be an allrounder but it is not at all efficient if it is justified that was used to be the purpose of this topic. Everyone posted hurry I think except for a few ones  (3 to 4) that they considered a redundant or typical topic. There were a few concerns which are not clarified. I was expecting a full-on debate on different strategies to obtain useful insights from seniors.

That it I will consider other replies in the next post.

Let's see what impact it brings in the new replies after changing the Subject title.

You have got a valid point, I honestly, did now know the terms, like semi mid term etc. I searched it on AI and asked about it and it says, mid-term investment is less than 3 years and long-term is longer than 5 years. I don't know if this information is accurate, but I am aware of the types of trading and also know how long a trader holds on his/her trades, and if that limit crosses I start to call it to hold. And that's a maximum of 1 year.

But I think I should check on it more because I need more confirmation to start accepting new knowledge because I was getting the wrong idea till now just by accepting the statements others made on the time period of trading and holding.

It's not your fault, sometimes it happens here, I mean I also made this mistake once, when I read the topic and a few lines of the post and interpreted it wrong and made a reply that was totally off-topic, but I think DCA talks are somehow relevant to your topic, I did not read all of the replies one by one made on this topic.

But, If you say so, then I think I can agree with you on it.

And talking about the irrelevancy of the commentators, I think your topic is a broad one, I mean, it would be wise if you would talk about each of the zones in different topics, like a version or series. That would be wise and try to remain more relevant in your individual topics because that's how you will get relevant replies on your topics. Otherwise, members are really not in a very rush but except a few, and all they do is notice some mistake or correction, or if they have any idea about something that you have written in the post, they share those ideas and nothing else.

This is truly an extensive explanation for both new members who are just starting their Bitcoin journey as well as those who have been there. It truly cover most of the discussion in various threads I have been following and it is good to see them all brought together under one thread.

I tend to favour long term HODL because I have found that more effective and comfortable for me, which also allows me to maximize profits. In other words, long-term HODL allows me to grow in wealth, and as you know, the feeling that you have aged for the future has a way of adding to longevity.

Considering the little time we have before next year's halving, I think anyone preparing for the anticipated bull run expected to start next year can combine the DCA method and instant execution at key price points. In this way, you would have injected a reasonable amount of money into Bitcoin before the price shifts to a new zone. I have seen a lot of discussion in favour of this approach, and that confirms it is an effective way of accumulating Bitcoin.

Even so, he can use Dual Investment. This strategy is easy to implement with no stress. Works more like DCA but the advanced version of it where you can set when to sell or buy automatically

The best part in accumulating is actually when market is showing it is at a discount price. There I already use the strategy I have mentioned before to buy and then set when to sell. Honestly, there a several means to reduce stress in this market period

It is true that nothing can be predicted with certainty about market movements. Sometimes we find that the price of a particular coin goes up periodically after we sell our investments but when we buy a coin the price of that coin goes down again. Many people may sometimes think that the market is in the opposite direction of our investment, but this is not the case. If we take a good look, we will realize that the timing of our investment was wrong we did not invest at the right time. We have to have a lot of understanding about the market, besides having a lot of understanding about the market we have to wait for the right time when we can invest. Before investing we should have the idea that we must hold our investment for a long time. Whenever we hold our investment for a long period of time we will see that after a long time we have got a lot of good from our investment.

So DCA is fine but you can simply enhance it with

Step ladder down buys at an exchange

and step ladder up sells at an exchange.

Along with a dca cash reserve.


Step 1 set up 100usd a week dca
step 2 set up a -15,-20,-25,-30 % buy for 250 + 250 + 250 +250

Step 3 set up a sell off ladder at levels like 72k 88k 101K 125K

Step 4 stack some case reserves 50 a week dca

so in a year

you purchase 5200 usd in btc
you may buy lump or not 1000 usd cash for lump buy's
you may sell lump or not 0.04 btc for up sales
and 2600 cash

this plan calls for 7800 dca in a year and 1000 + 1000 for possible swing up or swing down

and at the end of each year re evaluate your next years setup.

Well said JJG, I would never recommend a beginner to invest much at his initial level, reason being that, at that level the investor might not have the ability to make decisions using his knowledge rather than emotions, at least the person should apply DCA with smaller amount before graduating gradually to accumulate with higher figures. I will also recommend knowledge before diving into holding, and knowledge without application is as good as waisted efforts because, there is no need for learning at the first place if you'll  discard all that you've learnt when the time for applying them arrives, it's wise to ask experienced persons questions, so you'll learn from practical individuals rather than reading too many articles that has misleading solutions to your question.




Here is a post I saw a month ago where a bitcoiner was advising other not to sell their coins the way he did.





I have seen cases where by people buy so much coin and within a short period, they came back selling them, not because they've achieved their goal but because they applied the wrong strategy at the wrong time. I am not a fan of accumulating with lump sum as it can easily tamper with your emotions, especially when you are a beginner.
