By staying focused on the DCA method, someone will not be too influenced by what is happening in the market. They still invest a certain amount of money every week or month and buy bitcoin, whatever the price on the market. And that's good for them because they don't panic and have no desire to sell their bitcoins. After all, their target is long term.
Beginners who invest in bitcoin using the DCA method do not need to observe the price of bitcoin and they are different from beginners who trade in the market. Those who trade must always observe and pay attention to prices in the market and then analyze them to get time to enter and exit the market.
My advise to beginners and long term investors with little resources is for them to begin with the DCA method rather than the lump sum. It gives them the ability to manage the crisis that are in the investment couple with they have smaller funds to invest. As a beginner, you have less control of emotions to things like this, and in the event that you are faced with bad timings of purchase.
Also, as a beginner, you have less resources at your disposal and more desperation in the Return of Investment, to be able to get it right, start with the DCA approach. But one will realize that as you invest in this, your expectations will be minimal.
The best part of this investment apart from its less funds to invest or lose, is that you do not necessarily need to have a very large amount of money to be able to invest before you can start benefiting from the market growth.
I like the idea of either lump summing and/or front loading DCA in the beginning in order to attempt to get a higher stake into BTC right from the start, and then thereafter have money for DCA and buying on dips, and sure, maybe you don't really need to buy on dips as long as you are mostly DCAing.
Otherwise, surely there can be some differences in finances, and some beginners will neither have funds available to lump sum and their finances might be in worse shape in the very beginning so they are not able to front load (meaning doing BIGGER) DCAs in the beginning... so surely each person should be attempting to take the approach to BTC that best works for them, and it may also be the case that they should look at charts in order to help to inform them how aggressive that they might be, but it is not necessarily going to tell you a lot which way the BTC price might go, even if you do look at some charts and try to figure out where we are at, where we had been and what does that mean in terms of where we might be going. Beginners might have more difficulties with these kinds of matters, even though even longer term bitcoiners are not good at it, and even though I have been staring at bitcoin charts for nearly 10 years, I still don't like to make proclamations that are much beyond 50/50 in terms of where we might be going in the short term.
