Most things you are just saying Is off mate. FYI we don't have to wait For any drop in price before thinking of accumulating, this bitcoin we taking about, well I guess the reason you have such mentality is due to the fact that you have been In to shitcoins for so long which is bad ( and your post says it all). There's reason why DCA strategy is there for us to make use of. It gives us the chances to purchase bitcoin at any price interval. And I won't advice to use such strategy in shitcoins so that you won't endup getting self reckt so badly , because the risk in shitcoins are just so much , so please try to reduce such urge in investing in and focus mainly on your bitcoin accummulation to be in more safer side . I hope in that part that I bold when you mentioned coins , hope you talking about bitcoin so that you won't endup misleading newbies in investing in some shitty shitcoins.
You seem too committed to the DCA method that you tend to have forgotten that there is another method of buying called buying the dips. There is nothing wrong with setting aside some funds to buy when price dips and when waiting, using the DCA method to continue buying without stop and waiting for the dips to buy lump sum. This is a kind of combined method which is very effective. I think most experienced investors apply this method and I recommend the method for anyone who want to fully take advantage of different market conditions.
I can only talk from personal experience, I used to take this hybrid approach dca and bftd, but when I went back thru my data and calculated the difference from pure dca and this hybrid approach I found it didn’t quite pan out the way you are saying. The main problem encountered and not all the time but most of the time you don’t get the dip properly. It’s very hard to hit the dip without a lot of eyes on glass ie time. Yes you can set orders but then you have to divide up your dip money to guess where it lands and sometimes you have leftovers. Instead of bftd I increase my dca amount for a set period of time and then bring it back to normal levels. For example for the next 4 months I increased my dca amount. In July it will go back to normal levels.
The second problem is outside the blockchain, you got a little nest egg for dips but then things come up trying to nibble on the egg from rl. Yes there lots of strategies to insulate and segment your money but the majority of people don’t have these in place. If you don’t have an emergency fund in place I would not recommend trying to bftd strategy.
I’m absolutely not saying your wrong but in my own experience I keep coming back to the old adage; “Time in the market instead of timing the market” Pure DCA let’s you accumulate methodically and increase your time in the market without any timing requirements.
