Maybe some people still don't understand some of the pressures that have been said previously for this reason, so there are still people who immediately rush to invest in Bitcoin with only minimal capital and their own intentions and determination without considering emergency funds for themselves in life. Because logically, emergency funds are needed to be able to maintain the Bitcoin that we have previously purchased so that the amount of Bitcoin that has been saved will not be disturbed by bad things in real life.

So this needs to be well understood by everyone who wants to store Bitcoin more comfortably by implementing purchases in several stages or by implementing DCA as has been done by many people at this time. In my opinion, Buy the Dip, and Hodl can be done by everyone by making stages or by DCA as long as everyone has prepared emergency funds so as not to disrupt the previously determined Bitcoin purchase plan within a certain time.

Though it has been discussed here severally that emergency funds should the number plan of an investor so that his Bitcoin portfolio will not be tampered from time to time, but I want you to understand that if an investor is waiting for huge of emergency fund he won't be able to invest in Bitcoin.
I think the remedy to this is that, the investor should set his plans with the available fund, keep the emergency fund aside and do the needful with the remaining fund because, there suitable strategy for everyone here, that's why it has been said that invest with the amount within your reach and as your income keep increase, you accumulate more.
An existing or incoming investor that experienced the dip period should buy but am against waiting for the dip itself because it might t favor you as you calculated.

Your statement is very correct because if an individual want everything to be so perfect before they invest, they will most likely not invest. In economics, we were thought that human needs are insatiable. This means the more you try to satisfy your needs the more new things comes up. Besides, technology and innovation is improving a lot of things so every now and then new and better things comes up. This is the reason some people change their phone as soon as new model is launched like in the case of iPhone.

To be able to invest in Bitcoin, we must know where to draw the line between what is most important and what is not. There should be some level of discipline we must imbibe for the greater good. For instance, if I already have a phone that is fine and can do main thing I need a phone for, no need of changing it to a higher version that can also do the same thing when I can simply use the money and buy Bitcoin. Such a phone is not a basic need, so it can wait and that craving will just be one of the sacrifices I have to pay to be able to invest in Bitcoin and secure my future.

So it is important to identify the basic needs, set some funds aside for them, keep some for emergency and then one can start investing in Bitcoin. Other things can be varied and must not be done so one can actually build for the future.

Same thing can also be said for those who are using bigger or more than one gadgets but don't have any investment in bitcoin. When you ask them why they don't own a bitcoin they will say I don't have money to invest but, I will invest when money comes. Why wait for when money will come when you can dispose one of the phones. For instance someone using iPhone 14 or 15 with a Samsung phone and is still waiting for money to invest in bitcoin. Such a person can sell one of the phones and use the money realized and invest in bitcoin. He/she will still have one phone left and his life won't be negatively affected and he has also started his bitcoin journey. When more money comes in he can keep buying more. Instead waiting such person has taken action in the right direction.

for most persons saying they don't have money to invest in bitcoin the reason could be that they don't know it doesn't take a thousands of dollars to invest in bitcoin, yes am saying this because many do not know that a single Bitcoin is made up of 100 million smaller units know as satoshi of which they can possibly buy a fraction of it.

On the other hand most person have made a mistake of starting there Bitcoin journey without having a source of income flow, selling a gadget, electronics or whatever to start a bitcoin investment is not just enough, it has been discussed severally in this thread that having a source of income flow and a provisional reserved and emergency funds is paramount after meeting up our basic needs.
And that is the only way you can be successful in your bitcoin accumulation journey unless selling of your property or properties is to start or add up to your existing business which will be giving you steady income flow. If is on the part of starting a new business, the money sold from your property should be divided in to three where one part will be use for your up keep, the second part for business and the part for your Bitcoin investment, if in the case of an existing business the money sold from your property should also be shared in to three one allocated to your business for full back up the other for personal needs and lastly for your Bitcoin investment through your DCA strategy which could be weekly or monthly, I think this is the best way to go about it because you now have a backup for both your personal needs, your business and your Bitcoin investment.

I think if a person doesn't have money to invest or Start his bitcoin journey, the best thing for him or her to do is yo be patient cause as you said selling a gadget to making any hasten decisions would not solve the problem especially if this person would want be buying regularly and doing his investment in a proper and calculated manner, having a cashflow is the first basis of investment either your earning salary or you own a business, allow me to deviate a little, a little after I joined this thread I started reading books on investment and I came across this book cashflow quadrant by Robert t. Kiyosaki, he is popular in some regions, he teaches mainly on real estate investment and from what I've read, the most important part of starting an investment is to have a cashflow. So if thsi person really wants to start his investment journey what he should do is get himself a job that can pay him even a minimal of 30-50$ weekly that he could start to plan out himself, and since his just starting and in his case, it would be good he start to save up his emergency funds first while he looks forward to rising his cashflow may 3 months of emergency funds savings then he could start up his investment.

It's all about patience cause if he starts hastily, he would end up in regret or later failing to really hold. Comfort first then investment.
