well the auto on coinbase is manually substituted by a 4x dip buy

which has been done three seperate times when we dip under 16k.

Well, it seems that you answered the question, even though I was ONLY asking about the DCA portion, not the buying on dip portion.

Part of my problem with the DCA set up is that you cannot custom set the time for the DCA, so it seems that someone like you, who is already paying attention to BTC on a regular basis, would be much better off to manually employ your DCAs.. even if you choose to do it every Friday, you could choose the time to employ or to set something else up to work to your advantage.

A newbie normie who is just getting in might NOT be ready, willing or able to manually employ his/her weekly DCA.

so since nov 1 6x in dca and 12x in dip buys.

this fall consolidation has allowed me to build on btc quite nicely. I think I went up over three hundred percent in btc holdings.

Part of the advantage of supplementing DCA with buying on dip is psychological.. and sure, if you are able to pay attention to the BTC market or whatever other markets factors, indicators that you deem relevant, then surely you might be able to improve upon a purely blind DCA strategy.

I am not going to bash heavily on the idea of buying on dip because even when I started in BTC, I caused myself to be more active in monitoring BTC prices, BTC price dynamics and happenings in the BTC space by attempting to buy on dips with my weekly DCA allowance. and I even had some side funds that I would delve into that would be used if the dip kept dipping.. which as we likely realize that we cannot necessarily know how long any dip will keep dipping or even when it will be over.. but we can still attempt to provide ourselves with budgetary allowances for the various categories of funds and even to assign various kinds of criteria to certain portions of our available funds... some of that can be set up in advance and some of it can be employed manually.. and of course there are trade-offs to each.

Of course, no matter our strategies, we should be trying to optimize them for our current cash in hand and attempting to account for our cashflow over the time period in which we are expecting BTC prices to stay within a range.. so then at the same time, some of the funds might be more flexible than other aspects of the funds, even if we might not agree on how to apportion the funds.. so even if we might be starting with the same amount of funds, we likely would not necessarily agree how to deploy. and how much to keep set aside - so there is not really any objectively correct answer as long as you are attempting to accurately account for your own details.

So much of the question for me concerns whether you are a troll or shill or a genuine poster... if you are a genuine poster, then there doesn't seem to be any problems if you have different opinions and perspectives...

Any position I take to your above question is bound to backfire.
Thats why I wont. I will let you and all the rest be the judge of that.

Now don't go deleting posts..

hahahahaha..

and.. let's see what happens..

Are you going to be hanging around in the coming weeks?
