    Since bitcoin is long term, People can easily plan their plan while they are already ongoingly investing. It is important that people quit the delay for some perfect plan and start if they haved discretionary income and figure the rest later.

    Planning can delay people from starting and funny enough some people may want to plan to have a perfect journey in Bitcoin, and end up never starting and remain no coiner for the rest of their life
    In case you are no coiner then there is no reason for you to delay investing in Bitcoin because a no coiner has to start from point. As we start investing in Bitcoin, we are in better position to answer questions like how much we can afford to invest in Bitcoin, for how long we need to hold etc. The planning will be more effective once we practically start investing in Bitcoin.   

    I agree with you that if you DCA as your money comes available, whether weekly or some other time frame, you can adjust your DCA amount based on how much money comes available or maybe other things going on in your life.  Maybe you tell yourself that no matter what you are going to buy $10 per week of bitcoin, so some weeks you are able to invest $100 or maybe even more and when your cashflow is tight, then you are ONLY able to invest $10, but you had already told yourself that you would buy $10 per week no matter what... and that is a self-imposed requirement that you created for yourself.
    We have to make some sacrifice, if we want to earn good profit from Bitcoin. If someone is investing 10$ per week and he is not willing to increase that investment despite the fact that his salary is increased or he got some bonus then he is missing the opportunity of increasing his future profit.

    Of course, there can be a variety of arrangements that a guy might arrive at that he might perceive to be sufficiently reasonable for his circumstances, and of course, some guys likely start out too whimpily and other guys start out too aggressively, yet even if they might end up wrong, if they are ongoingly investing into bitcoin without making mistakes that are too great, then they can ongoingly learn with the passage of time and make adjustments.

    Surely, many of us consider that DCA is good, since guys can adjust their weekly DCA amounts to their income and/or their expenses and ongoingly adjust as their cashflows might change.

    There surely could be some newbies who want to hold back some money for buying dips that may or may not end up happening, yet it helps them to feel good to have some money on the side, even if it might be better to concentrate on ongoing buying of bitcoin, yet they have to make their choice, even if they might later change their choice based on their having had spent time building up both their bitcoin investment and also their back up funds so the size of those funds and their history around building those funds will help to inform them of tweaks that they can make and perhaps even inspire them to figure out ways to increase their discretionary funds by increasing their income and/or cutting their expenses.

    For example, if the guy knows he could start out investing $100 per week, he purposefully decides to ONLY invest $30 per week into bitcoin while he gets used to making his weekly investments, and maybe he is even holding some cash on the side, yet as he becomes more comfortable with his weekly investments, he also becomes comfortable to increase his weekly investment amounts.

    In the first year or two he realizes that he should keep buying bitcoin without thinking about the price, yet it might take a while before he really starts to feel that he can just make his weekly buy and perhaps he even decides to manually buy on certain days of the week.. and the weekly buy becomes part of a routine.

    I know that not all guys make Excel spreadsheets, and they might not have access, yet if they keep track on a spreadsheet, the first several months might be a bit boring since there is not very much data that had  been entered, and I personally would have a section that relates to past investment amounts, and then I would have another section that relates to future anticipated investment amounts.. So there can be a bit of fun to watch how early versions of the chart (table) look like as compared with how they might evolve and perhaps there are various versions of the chart to help to think about how to plan and/or perhaps to consider any adjustments that might need to be made.

    We could really see that DCA works due to its flexibility, since people can start small then just increase later on the amount they want to use until they became comfortable on their consistent action by using this strategy.

    There are people hide some funds to buy at dips but other prefer to buy on regular basis without thinking to much the current price. Either one of that they choose what matter the most is their consistency and also its good if they follow up with learnings on those situations they already experience. Having sheet just like what you have said is good because with that they can track all the progress they made, also they provably get an idea about what are other things need to be done, especially if they see something need to change with those actions they already made.
