Certainly, financial flexibility is a very valuable tool to have. If a person decides to put every available dollar that they have into buying bitcoin, they may end up needing to sell it during an emergency, and this could undermine their long term investment plan. That’s why i believe that maintaining some liquidity can help an investor to stay committed to their position during the periods of uncertainty in the market.

Let me also point out that a person’s investment capacity may not always be static and therefore people’s predicaments can definitely change over time.  A person who could only invest a small amount today can later be able to invest significantly more in the future without them having to change their conviction about bitcoin. And for this reason, we cannot measure a person’s commitment to investing solely based on how much they are able to invest(it’s misleading in my opinion).
Even though it is good to have conviction as an investor, the ability for folks to invest is usually influenced by things like timing, financial resilience, and their personal circumstances, not just because they desire it alone.

It is not that investors will not have discretionary income if they follow the DCA strategy. Rather, the condition for following the DCA strategy is that you gradually build your position outside of your essential expenses.

A person can buy Bitcoin regularly with a portion of their income, but if that portion is already paying for their rent, food, medical care, family, loans, or emergency needs, then it is not an investment. Even then, it is not a DCA strategy, but rather a strategy to weaken your cash flow.

There is a little contradiction in your post that I must clarify before others get the wrong message. The items you listed above are all basic needs that ought to be met before investment can be made. It is the amount the investor have after settling them that is called discretionary income and part of that is what should be invested into Bitcoin. Understanding what the discretionary income is should be very important to avoid the investor making mistake in his planning. This is why I have to make this comment to set the records straight and avoid missing things up.

I won’t neglect the fact that there are guys that would like to explore many options in Bitcoin before settling for the strategy that best suit them, but during these phase I doubt that there are guys dumb enough to make use of all their income for the week to invest because they are human and would have to survive until the next week/month they want to DCA again, that’s for guys that prioritize the DCA strategy. Except you’re making reference to guys that make use of the total discretionary fund they’re able to sort out for the week for investment, without thinking of importance of emergency fund and discretionary consumption fund.


There are guys that may have other investment and want to wants to invest in Bitcoin but have low conviction about Bitcoin, these guys might be investing whimpily until they’ve come to understand more about bitcoin, then there’s every possibility of their conviction in bitcoin increasing same thing applies to amount at which they’re accumulating bitcoin with. You mention timing is among the factor that influences the ability of folk to invest in Bitcoin, but from my perspective timing only affect short term investors (aka traders). As long as folk are making use of the DCA strategy and investing with their discretionary fund I don’t see how timing would be factor to an investor in Bitcoin.

When a person has made up his mind to invest in bitcoin, he does not need to be forced into doing it. As a matter of fact, bitcoin success is personal and our intention from the early stages is what matters more. Anyone can invest in bitcoin as long as you can take care of yourself and your responsibilities which is the first goal of every human. What you have to do first is to figure out your Discretionary income no matter how little. Be careful not to be greedy and never choose your DCA based on anyone else because your DCA days and amount should largely depend on your probable day of income and possible amount expected.

Investing in bitcoin shouldn't beet with greed if you want to succeed in bitcoin investment. It's greed that can make you go so aggressively above your financial situation thereby exposing your bitcoin to premature sales.

One MUST not necessarily have to have a second source of income to become successful in bitcoin investment even though having a second source of income makes bitcoin very seamless and easier. I think that self discipline is more important when it comes to bitcoin investment and not all about how much you earn. There are folks who have been in various well paying jobs but weren't disciplined enough to set aside any amount for bitcoin accumulation. Some go ahead to play around with their bitcoin because they lack the patience to hold it for a long time.

Lastly, "Sudden needs" otherwise referred to as emergency situations can be taken care of if the folk has been disciplined enough to maintain his emergency funds without playing smart with it. As a beginner, you should also accumulate your emergency funds simultaneously with your bitcoin because that's the cushion that your bitcoin has over  unforeseen circumstances. To be successful in a long-term investment, you should be able to have at least e months of your income in your emergency funds so that you can handle any emergency situation while sourcing out more funds to compliment your emergency funds to tackle the situation.

There are folks who also have multiple streams of income, but they find it difficult to figure out their discretionary income and continue giving excuses for not investing in bitcoin over time. They procrastinate and they end thinking that, since they can take care of themselves and feels they also have enough money that takes care of their responsibilities and multiple sources of income that guarantees their old age, why then do they have to risk their money in bitcoin? This continues and they give up the idea of investing in bitcoin even when they had the initial plan to invest in bitcoin. Here's, it's not because of lack of income but a missed cause of multiple income and indiscipline.

Your investments solemnly depends on what discretionary income that you have available, because you can only invest in Bitcoin with a discretionary income, and that discretionary income would obviously give you opportunities to keep investing more, because it’s only when you have money to invest in Bitcoin that you can boldly make an investment into Bitcoin, and which can be very much appreciated.

Some people makes mistakes to invest money that is meant for something else into Bitcoin, and when you invest money that is meant for other purposes then it becomes a huge blunder that individual is making with his investment for a long term purpose.

After ensuring our needs are met, we must ensure we have sufficient discretionary income. Having discretionary income is crucial for investing and the amount is not a problem. The most important thing is that our intention when investing must follow the basic plan we have in mind. This will prevent mistakes in investing. We have already ensured our needs are met. Once those responsibilities are met our next step is to continue investing. Therefore it is better to avoid any problems when investing. This does not mean we do not want to experience problems in investing but rather to anticipate them so that they do not become part of our risks in investing in Bitcoin.

Every time we do of course we decide on our own and there is no need for any party to determine what we are doing, for example sometimes we do not use the DCA strategy in investing but we must do it without being as greedy as possible because the amount does not have to be large in investing because even a small amount can achieve our goals in investing in Bitcoin so that what is really needed in investing is our consistency in protecting the amount we do so that the protection we do becomes something valuable for us for our future assets in investing from now on which is clear that investing does not have to be with a large or small amount because what determines success in investing is not only a large or small amount but our consistent direction in protecting the amount that has been done after making Bitcoin accumulation.

Well, basically, before we start investing, we must first make sure that all our needs are met and that we have a fairly stable income. The key point lies in our source of income: whether it can consistently meet all our needs and whether there’s always money left over. If it turns out that our income never leaves any money to invest, then we need to start saving. They need to start avoiding unnecessary purchases. After all, we must also think about the future, and one way to do that is by making an effort to invest, even if it’s just a little.

So it’s important to understand money management: we allocate funds for our needs and strive to save so that, after setting aside an emergency fund, which we must also have, there’s money left over to invest. Another solution is to seek additional income for investment capital, while using your primary income to cover needs and build an emergency fund. Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) is always a good option for those who want to invest but are quite busy; DCA helps them because they don’t have to worry about market conditions when accumulating investments. They just need to focus on accumulating BTC regularly.

The main focus of new investors is to save slowly with discretionary income, not to think about whether the price is cheap now. Because no one knows whether the price that is going on today is actually cheap or expensive compared to the future. So my opinion would be that new investors should not enter the market with the mentality of buying cheap now and making profits in the future. Instead, they should start by thinking about whether they have discretionary income. Then they can gradually plan to withstand market fluctuations.

When you show a new investor the hope of making profits in the future by buying cheaply, he can naturally expect relatively high from Bitcoin. But when the market continues to go down and the market does not work according to his expectations, he can sell out of fear. So give new investors advice that does not increase their expectations but awakens a long-term attitude. Because expectations should be based on long-term possibilities, not short-term gains.
