I think that is the worst mindset someone will ever have, that Bitcoin will give someone a big profit after holding for a long term. It can give no doubt but only if you have a reasonable amount in your portfolio because you can not accumulating 10 dollars or 20 dollars and be hoping and excepting a big profit in the future, that will be fallacy to yourself and the truth is that you can only tell people lies how much you hold when it's a lie but the market will tell you the truth.
I agree with you that Bitcoin may give you a big profit in the future if you can accumulate a big stash of it and hold for a long time, but I just want you to know that it is not a guarantee that Bitcoin may rise so much in the future and give such profit because nothing in this world is guaranteed.
We live in a world where anything can happen, that is why we are adviced to invest only from our discretionary income, which is a fund we can afford to lose, so that if our investment did not go as planned, we are not going to lose our head over it, or commit suicide, so it's wrong to make it looks like by accumulating a big stash of it, your profit is guaranteed in the future.
The fact that Bitcoin is not 100% certain or guaranteed of granting maximum profit in the future is the major reason behind the usage of our discretionary funds for accumulation, but that doesnt mean youre expected to remain comfortable investing wimpily except youve no determination to improve your investment. Basically whatever it is you do and expecting a good result from it, you must have put more effort in it to achieve that desired result youve pictured, same thing applies to Bitcoin, if youre expecting a good return from your investment, youve to be consistent with your accumulation. If its $10 and/or $20 an investor is able to sort out for investment from his discretionary income, as long as his is consistent he is going to get a percentage return of his total investment. As time goes on and theres an increase in the investors discretionary funds automatically therell be an increase in the amount he is allocating for his monthly and/or weekly investment.
DCA is beginner-friendly, but I wonder:
Is consistency more important than timing, or are there market conditions where waiting actually makes more sense than strict DCA?
Of cause, DCA strategy is more important than timing the market, because if you keep on timing the Bitcoin price and it doesnt reach the entry point youre waiting for, I guess you wont be accumulating anytime soon, until it has gotten to your targeted price and thats an attribute of a trader. But with DCA you dont have to be on edge monitoring Bitcoin price every move, rather anytime youre able to sort out your discretionary fund, you can buy whether the price is bullish or bearish.
So far from the knowledge Ive gotten from accumulating bitcoin, Iv not come across any market condition where waiting actually makes more sense, rather it only make you regret not taking the opportunity when it was within your reach. There might be cases where Bitcoin price is on a bearish trend and the momentum at which investors accumulate tends to reduce because of panic of the bear market. But as an investor who is determined and disciplined, that is the time that is more preferable to accumulate more aggressively in the cases where an investor have extra cash.
