so perhaps is very important to be able to distinguish between investment through DCA and holding because they are actually two different things and however most people believe that since almost everyone that intend holding uses DCA for accumulation they assume that holding is the same thing as DCA because even me I was thinking the same way until I realized they are not the same.
Holding is obviously not the same as investing using DCA methods, it's even better to compare holding to trading because that's where people normally make mistake from but comparing holding to the DCA methods of bitcoin accumulation is just same as saying that winning the world cup is just same as participating in the world cup tournament.
There is something you seem to be making difficult for me to understand. Investing in DCA method is not the same thing as holding but you will agree with me that the DCA method by its design encourages holding Bitcoin at least for something and during the peak of the accumulation process. Using the DCA method, you are buying amount that will be regarded as small quantity with respect to your total income, this small amount could just be spared money you don't have urgent need of, so you decide to invest it in Bitcoin. Because the amount invested through the DCA method is not part of your basic expenditure neither will it impact on your reserve funds, you tend to hold it for a long time. This is what I feel make people connect the DCA method to holding Bitcoin. DCA is closer to holding Bitcoin that trading is because traders do not hold. So yes, I do not agree with your line of argument
DCA methods is just a strategy used to accumulate Bitcoin in a safe and easy way that can work well mostly for new investors that aren't yet strong enough financially to accumulate in bunch of bitcoin at a time and so will have to buy it at regular intervals just do they can Hold it.
This is another misconception that need correction. DCA can be applied by anybody irrespective of their financial level. It is not only used by new investors as even the early adopters do use it or had used it at some point in their portfolio building phase. So for the sake of setting the record straight, the DCA method is suitable for all level of income earners.
Agreed the DCAing strategy doesn't need you to have $500 before you can invest but with $50 weekly one can use $20 or $10 from his salary to buy Bitcoin, $10 from $50 can not make one's money to shorten because you have $40 aside with the $40, it can go through the month when you manage it properly.
But when you have more than $50 as salary monthly you can also increase the amount of Bitcoin that you normally buys, it will help to achieve the total amount of Bitcoin thst you want early.
You can accumulate Bitcoin through DCAing method and many preferred buying the dip with DCA method but it's not bad at all, what every way you can accumulate Bitcoin in such a way that it will not affect your balance do it the important part is make sure you are
investing in something that worth holding. With that you can know if you can accumulate or not. When you are not holding something that's worth holding you can never achieve anything because it shitcoins/altcoins.
