While DCA is important for building a long term Bitcoin holding, it is equally important for you to build an emergency fund. If a new investor does not have an emergency fund he can build one while he is still accumulating Bitcoin. It is not certain that an emergency fund will be needed in the long term investment journey. You need to be prepared to maintain your Bitcoin holdings. This fund is less important to some long term investors but you must understand its importance. Another important strategy is to keep cash flow available as this fund will entice you to increase purchases during dumping and help you meet small emergency needs.
If it is not certain that emergency funds will be useful in the long-term by an investor, why then is it necessary for every investor to build emergency funds? Aren't you getting something wrong, I think their is a misconception somewhere, emergency funds are funds we build to help us in safeguarding our Bitcoin investment mainly when there are emergencies as we journey for a long-term in Bitcoin acumulating, so why will you make such contradicting comment? Maybe I should make you understand this fact, I do not think that emergency funds is seen as less of a priority to any real investor, you talked about folks being ready and prepared to maintain there bitcon investment, and you made such comment about emergency funds, I think you should have known that by maintaining your Bitcoin investment, your discretionary income and emergency funds are the major priority.
Saying "you are not sure if you will need an emergency fund" does not mean that an emergency fund is not important. We need an emergency fund because of uncertainty. You cannot predict in advance when an illness, work problems, family stress or unexpected expenses will come into your life. Therefore, it is advisable to have an emergency fund so that if an emergency situation really comes, especially when the market price is lower than the price you bought it, you are not forced to sell at a loss.
However, it is not necessary to have an emergency fund at the beginning. Because this makes many new investors busy building an emergency fund and if they wait to invest, it will be a worse decision. Therefore, as a realistic strategy, it is recommended to continue to build an emergency fund and invest with a portion of discretionary income. In this time, he will save himself from waiting or regretting for either knowledge, investment and emergency fund.
