It all depends on the amount of bitcoin the person has accumulate over that interval of one year before you begin to talk about making of profit. If u do not have a sizeable amount of bitcoin in your portfolio you cannot be able to make this profit you are talking about ,especially if you are doing DCA it will take you time to accumulate a reasonable
amount of bitcoin.
The method of collecting Bitcoin to get a larger amount varies from person to person, although the one we see most often now is to use DCA with a certain target time period. Because to achieve a bigger profit target, you definitely have to have a fairly large amount of Bitcoin ownership and that cannot be denied by everyone. That is why most people always pay more attention to their Bitcoin holdings portfolio than others because in Bitcoin everyone can make a profit as long as they have enough patience in collecting it and also have a fairly large amount in their own portfolio.
I often see the term DCA in almost everywhere Bitcoin investment is mentioned on this forum but one thing people do not know is that it is relative and subjective, it is never a must. Do you know the situation where I use the DCA approach? They are listed below:
1. I use it when there is an obvious FUD in the market.
2. In a situation where the market has moved significantly up where the price is no more encouraging to buy but still do not want to miss out.
3. Finally, when the market is selling in a short-term correction but the overall bias is still of the bullish trend in the long-term disposition.
However, what is peculiar to all those conditions is that they lack certainty. I will not hesitate to use the DCA in such situations for at least to average my risk and the potential earnings instead of risking everything or being too greedy and daring.
maybe you should look at it that the kind of investors you have on the forum are combination of individuals that are just joining the Bitcoin ecosystem and probably don't have what it takes to accumulate with other methods outside of the DCA method, and some others that have stayed long in the Bitcoin ecosystem and still feel that they've not still reached there accumilation goal and so they will still make use of the DCA methord or a combination of the DCA and other methods in stacking there Bitcoin. Most of us that are yet to have a strong portfolio might not need to always consider those kind of situations you outlined before deciding if it's best to DCA at those point or not, those kind of things don't even make much meaning to the average bitcoinner that's still trying to build a good portfolio because it takes someone that has been in the Bitcoin ecosystem for multiples of circle to try to set certain variables right before buying unlike an average person who should think more about buying consistently rather than allowing FUD determine the choice of his accumilation routine.
Also, do you know the situation where I do not use the DCA approach? They are just two, and they are when there is better assurance in the market as seen below:
1. When the market is at the bottom level. Just like the condition of Bitcoin in late 2022.
2. When a bullish trend is fully confirmed.
In this situation, I risk everything, and since Bitcoin is a trustable asset, I have nothing to worry about and it has never failed me.
if you don't have the needed resources that will enable you buy in bulk even when the market is at the button, you will be left with no option than to still stick with your DCA plan and I'm not saying that for such instances that DCAing is the best thing to do but what I'm saying in essence is that while it's not wise to remain at a fixed DCA amount when you're in a situation that is bearish and buying aggressively would have been the best option, individuals financial differences remains the main factor that will still decide if you will be able to buy aggressively or not. And if you aren't financially strong enough to buy aggressively at certain correction that probably went too down down to the button, DCAing at such instance isn't still a bad idea.
