If you are not sure about it, then start with buying $10 per week of bitcoin and get your shit together, figure out your finances and your psychology and if you got it mostly figured out
I know it is as too small to begin But this is me that you mentioned mate, Yeah I started purchasing 10 dollars worth of Bitcoin back in mid of 2017 , and added a increasing amount each week.
but with wrong decisions in life, I got involved in gambling and ending losing all my investments in 2018 and yes , I truly regret those decisions.
But from there of mistake ,Now I can proudly say that I can feel the success in the net bull run.
I started out with $10 per week as an example because a lot of people can probably do $10 a week without even having to know very much about their own finances... and sure there are some members who either hardly have any income or they are living in a very low income location (or they might be a student), so even $10 per week might be a struggle for them, so they have to tailor to their own situation, even though $10 per week could still serve as kind of a aspirational starting point..
I am not really against the idea of having a separate gambling fund, but yeah, sure one of the problems with the gambling mentality tends to be inabilities to control yourself from tapping into funds that should be kept separately.. and then your little build up of weekly bitcoin DCA ends up getting used a a "temporary measure" blah blah blah.. but then pretty soon you lost all of the funds that you had built up.
I wouldn't call it a "gambling fund", but the farther away Bitcoin goes from the "discount phase" it's probably better to start lowering the DCA bids, and save that money in a "buy at discount fund". I don't know why I'm not as euphoric as everyone else with the current price movement, because in the current macro-economic environment, we're at high interest rates and under a tight monetary policy which may not change soon. Does everyone actually believe Bitcoin will never go down again?
In a Staflationary environment, it's probably the best decision to buy more Bitcoin?
