These days it is more difficult to suggest that investing at $10 per week is enough (as it would have been enough if a guy had started investing into bitcoin in early 2014) - on the other hand, it is true that any of us are ONLY able to invest as aggressively into bitcoin as we are able to do, and if we are NOT able to muster up enough extra cash in order to invest $100 per week into bitcoin, then we need to figure out how much that we feel that we can do in order to be aggressive, but without putting our own finances and psychology into to much stress during the process of holding whatever quantity of extra cashflow aside and putting it into bitcoin.
In this phase we can multiply the value from stage to stage in the purchases we make in each round. I think I agree with arimamib that 5 years is not too long for us to invest in bitcoin. but I think the pattern for a person can vary in that if they have strong finances they can make a more aggressive purchase at some point and it certainly can't be self-inflicted to make the effort.
Even though I throw out the specific quantities of $10 or $100 in order to provide some kinds of possible reference points, the actual level of aggressiveness that anyone investing into bitcoin has to do with a variety of their own particular circumstances rather than attempting to apply what might be aggressive in one person's case might not really apply so much in the circumstances of another person's case.
The considerations relate to cashflow, how much bitcoin the person has already accumulated, other investments, view of bitcoin as compared with other investments, timeline, risk tolerance, and time, skills, goals (investment/lifestyle targets) and the person's abilities to strategize, plan, research and learn along the way including tweaking strategies from time to time to consider trading, reallocating, use of leverage and/or financial instruments.
So for example, there could be a person who makes $2,500 or more per month, but then s/he might have various fixed expenses that cover more than $1,600 per month, and so then at that point, there would be $900 per month that could potentially be invested - however, there may also be some needs to maintain some of that "extra" in reserves for possible emergencies and/or fluctuation of expenses - and surely there might be some entertainment, consumption or other possible demands that might cause the person to have some flexibility in his/her budget and desire to live/socialize and to consider those matters important - so then there would then be potential questions regarding how much of the discretionary $900 that such person might want to dedicate to investing in bitcoin (and deferred gratification) rather than some other ways that s/he might want to consider spending that money in terms of more expedited gratification.. and those are somewhat discretionary matters that may or may not lead to later regrets, in part dependent upon how much spare amount that might be contained in the discretionary amount of income and surely in some cases the amount is enough in order that "both" can be achieved... but still there could still be discretionary questions in regards to "how aggressive" such a person might feel that s/he is being in terms of deciding how to spend his/her discretionary income (once the amount is determined).
Actually It is very difficult to identify where is real Dip.So i thnk it is easy to say but difficult to do. I think perfect decision is DCA. And target will be hold it for long time.
Who will buy Every dip that's means who will do DCA and that will Hold for long time he will be profitable. Because crypto currency market will come back and bull market will come today or tomorrow. So i am agree to buy dip and hold.
Real Dips, I don't see what this means, I don't think we'll find any real Dip this year, just buy them and do it gradually as you have done so far. DCA is powerful enough to find the real dips when you do the calculation with the average price that you have done then you have found the real Dip point.
Historically, in a year's time, there are always dips, even if it is a bullrun year - however, I probably agree with you ginsan, that there may well be times in which whatever dip that we are getting is all the dip that we are going to get, and the dip might not end up getting lower than the current price.. yet when we are in such situations, we are hardly ever really going to have a lot of realistic and accurate confidence to know if the BTC price is going to dip further or not.
