Our needs are not the same every month or every week, so with the change in needs, the amount of our discretionary money can also change regularly. With this regularly changing discretionary money, the manual investment method is effective, if we want to do DCA with the automatic investment method, then we must have a lot of discretionary money. Suppose, if you do DCA weekly, you must have enough discretionary money to do DCA for a few weeks. The automatic DCA system is effective only for those who have a lot of discretionary money. For low-income people or ordinary people, manual DCA is still more effective. In this case, I agree with you.

You are very correct brotherly. Manual DCAing method remains the best and the most safe and convenient strategy in Bitcoin accumulations. However, you literally mentioned most of the key things i needed to hear and that's the fact. Every weeks or months that passes by normally comes with his own personal challenges and for we to stay in track and be able to carry out our investment accordingly and not deviating from the actual or the rightful fund's (discretionary funds) then using the manual DCAing method is just the possible way out if you ask me, unless you want to risk mistaking funds that was supposed to be use for other things as a discretionary funds which can ruin your investment journey if you fail fixing things the right way.

The fact that our discretionary income isn't fixed is already a good reason why manual investment is good, automatic DCAing isn't bad but it's not efficient for everyone who's investing in bitcoin and it's everyone can can't use it then it can't be said to be better than the one everyone can use with no problems, and one thing that's very important with bitcoin investment is that people need to invest from their discretionary income, if you discretionary income is fluctuating from time to time your investment will most likely follow the same pattern and that will be easier to do with manual investment.

I am always self-reliant, if I follow the DCA method automatically then it will not think about our financial situation, stress etc. and it will continue to buy according to its time. If your expenses increase slightly in a month or week and if you have less discretionary income and if your automatic method invests an equal amount of money every month through it then you can be at risk.

But if you continue to buy manually then you will not face any such problem and when you continue to buy with the market from time to time then you will easily become tolerant to market volatility and risk

Either accumulating manually or automatically they still have to use discretionary income, yes the discretionary income varies in amount because it cannot be specific all the time, but in this aspect what happened to emergency funds? because it is there to cover up all the necessary expenses that occur after everything has been deducted from your income. Our discretionary income does not have to be the same all the time, but I am so much confidence that the same amount will occur severally because of the backup funds. Emergency funds is built together with an investment so there is certainty that discretionary income can be equal to the same amount for a very long term than to have it in Lower amount.

Understanding your personal circumstances as a person is very important, your strength and weaknesses should be all known to you at all times with alacrity so you do not end up doing things and regret your action later on, automatic dcaing is good no doubt as it can increase some level of discipline but no every one can leverage on doing it successfully without messing things up, for enough flexibilities i prefer manual DCA, it is not easy withstanding the pressure of inflation, what you bought in the market last week has already increased it's price this week, investment in Bitcoin shouldn't be done under pressure there should be enough room for flexibilities where and when necessary especially considering it to be a long term investment.

Honestly, @Creeper0 the bold tests on your comments are wrong and I will tell you why.

First of all, this depends on the investor, there are some people who will deliberately wait a little longer for the price to dip before they buy and they are likely to be investors with a trader mindset. So why I disagree with the idea of manual DCA'ing is because some investors might wait a while before they buy, but if it's an automatic DCA'ing, they don't have to do it manually.

For the fact that automatic DCA can be adjustable when proves that both low income earners can use it. So long as DCA is involve, whether automatic or manual DCA'ing, both the rich and low income earners can use it without any challenge.

No, like I have said already you don't need a whole lot of money if you are thinking of automatic DCA because it can be adjustable.
Actually I think what matters is consistency, even though you have low discretionary income or high discretionary income is doesn't matter, because what matters is your consistency.
I guess automatic DCA even helps those who can't manage their cash flow. What I mean is that most people spend too much on unnecessary things, so for them automatic DCA helps them invest automatically before they end spend their money unnecessarily.

DCA method doesn't mean you must save money ahead before you get started investing. You just have to buy when you have the money.
For automatic DCA, some platform will just deduct the particular amount you want when the due date reached (just like a schedule transaction).

So long as it has to do with DCA method, It can be adjustable.
One advantage of automatic DCA is that you don't need to decide when to buy or when not to buy, most people who do manual DCA deliberate on when to buy (even though they have the money to), but automatic DCA strategy doesn't, so long as the amount is there, it will just deduct it automatically.
And the interesting thing is that you can adjust it at anytime.

Not partially true. Why because it all depends if the investor has a long term plan, emergency funds discretionary income.

I really don’t know where or what gave you guys this kind of perception about Bitcoin DCAing, to be honest, it’s a wrong perception you’ve got. If you’re waiting for Bitcoin price to fall before you start accumulating bitcoin, then you’re buying the dip and not DCAing, also if you’ve got the perception that bitcoin is going to fall back to $16000, then you might be waiting blindly. It might turn out that Bitcoin recent ATH might be it future dip, you never know, instead I’ll suggest you start accumulating now that it seems like the opportunity is within your reach.

DCA can be done at anytime of the price action, whether the price is bearish or bullish, with DCAing, you still have the opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin when the price is down as long as you’re consistent with your accumulation, so waiting for the dip in order to start accumulation isn’t a good idea.
  

In your word @Bright0515, “For the fact that automatic DCA can be adjustable proves that both low income earners can use it”. You’re suggesting that folk should keep on adjusting their automated DCAing each time their discretionary funds doesn’t meet up with the percentage they’ve set prior to the recent time. Can you tell me difference between this your perspective of automated DCAing and manual DCAing.

If folk are going to keep on adjusting their automated DCAing then they are practically doing manual DCA. I don’t think adding the stress of automated DCAing and adjusting every now and then will be necessary.

This your ideology might seems logical on paper, but I want you to be understand that even when you have a stable income source or a stable discretionary income, your weekly or monthly expenses might not be stable because you can fall sick and may need money for treatment, or something may happen that may warrant you to spend money, so you can't be too sure about life because we live in a world full of uncertainty, that's why manually dca remains the best because will have to act pragmatically, base on what is at hand.
