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'm pretty much aware that they are other nice strategy out There for accumulating bitcoin. But they all have their time ( depending on market conditions) . For instance you can't just keep waiting for the dip always before one should consider accumulating, So is better for to continue with his DCA purchasing , having some funds set aside (which known as reserved funds) to purchase the dip whenever any occurs. The other way of accumulating are also helpful when it comes to bitcoint accummulation, but being consistent with your DCA is just the best too, and also making use of the other strategy for instance, spreading out your reserved to purchase the dips ( or you can all in at once but still prefer spreading it), have some nice amount of money to spare as a normies you can go all in at once with the use of lump-summing strategy, depending on the market condition, So if you look at it we are clearly on same page here.
From what JayjuanGee thought me, that there are meaningful concepts and functionalities of various strategies hence, the idea of having a lump sum buying completely has nothing to do with market conditions. However, the idea of lump sum buying is having some amount of money that you are holding right now and you decided how much of that money that you are going to invest right now with that amount that is made available to you to use and buy right now whether there is a dip or not but rather it is much connected to your own personal decision regarding how much of that amount that is available right now that you would want to use and buy Bitcoin right now.
I don't think if the lump sum buying is subjected to any market conditions or buying when there is a dip or which ever way you may have but a sole decision of an investor irrespective of any forms of market conditions, and I think it is just a misconception of concepts, and also open for corrections if any.
As long as you are still consistent with your DCA strategy weekly or monthly, you can lump sum anytime you ha e the money regardless of bitcoin price. However, the best time to lump sum is during the dip, because will we keep waiting for the dip before we lump sum, when we can NO. Since one gets bitcoin in discount during the dip, it is better if you have the money to lump sum, you divide it into two, since you are already DCAing, use one part to lump sum immediately, and keep the order part to buy at the dip. Or better still, you can share the money into three one part will be added to your regular DCA funds, one part to lump sum immediately and the last part to buy at the dip.
Discussion here is mainly for correcting mistakes, because correct decisions can be taken from each other's discussion. That's why we will discuss the main threats of the DCA method, only then can we all openly hold Bitcoin for a long time.
DCA method of accumulating bitcoin does not have any threats, but gives you more strength to be able to accumulate bitcoin without stress, since you are using like 10% of your income to accumulate bitcoin regularly weekly or monthly. When it is properly done, you will give you the opportunity to reach your bitcoin target overtime. DCA does not teach anyone how to hodli bitcoin for long, but it only take you to believe in bitcoin, self determination, discipline, sacrifice and staying focus to become a long term holder.
