Well for me I think one's salary and how much he or she invest on Bitcoin weekly or monthly using the DCA strategy plays a very important role when it comes to reaching a rate to be sustainable because if for example I'm investing on $10 or $20 weekly or monthly on Bitcoin and another is investing $100 to $200 weekly or monthly it will have different time for reaching a rate to be sustainable. ( My point of view).
Sure. The more you invest, then the faster you will be able to reach your levels, and so if a person is investing 10% of his income, then it is going to take 10 years to reach 1 years worth of income invested, yet if that same person is investing 25%, it is only going to take 4 years to reach 1 years worth of income invested, and surely you are making a good point that if a person retains reasonably low expenses, then he might be able to invest his whole level of his expenses in one year, which would likely end up causing the need for a lower amount of time to reach 10 years worth of income (expenses) being invested into bitcoin... so yeah, if the guy considers his level of expenses to be sustainable and even maybe to modestly go up and he can account for how his expenses will go up, then surely, he would be able to get to a point that he can start to withdraw bitcoin to cover his expenses and also to account for his stash maintaining its value sufficiently that his withdrawal rate is sustainable forever into the future.
Yeah and I believe one with good and strong emergency, reserves and float funds and also a good pay as salary can be aggressive in his or her Bitcoin accumulation in other have more Bitcoin in a short number of years.
And to be honest I'm planning on becoming aggressive in my accumulation I feel I need to do that so I can get more Bitcoin However I need to have a good back up funds before starting.
so you likely need to temper your aggressiveness until you feel that your various back up funds are solid.. whether you are referring to emergency fund, reserve funds and/or float... and yeah, in the end, you can figure out your own level of aggressiveness according to your own situation, but if you end up fucking up and being overly aggressive and in need of the funds because you were investing too much into bitcoin, no one is going to save you from yourself.. .. so you are ultimately responsible for your own calculations and outcomes.
Wow you are right I never thought of these in this way, well that's what am going to do i will remove a percentage from my salary and invest in my emergency, reserve and float funds same way I'm investing on my Bitcoin, I already have an emergency, reserve and float funds but they are not strong and that is what has been stopping me from being a little aggressive in my investment but with this your idea I will have a strong emergency, reserves and float funds.
After making it strong the way I want it then I can be aggressive without any fear, without a strong back up funds you can be fucked when being aggressive on your investment.
The above bolded phrase has just laid to rest a question I've pondered on for weeks as a result of an argument I had with a friend on this particular subject about 2 weeks ago.
He argued that it'll be a very wrong approach to split your attention into growing both your backup funds and your bitcoin portfolio,
I tried to make him see the possibility in building and developing one's backup funds while also building up one's portfolio but he was insistent that one must first build up their backup funds to its expected and required standard because beginning one's Bitcoin accumulation journey, even when/while I tried to make him see reasons with me, he refused so I gave up the argument.
Of course you have to pay attention to your own details, including your risk tolerance - yet in many circumstances if you wait to build up your emergency fund and back up funds first it could take you many months or even a year or more to get to a point that you are starting to feel that you have good back up funds..
Let's presume a very large number of people who do not invest live paycheck to paycheck, so maybe they ONLY have around 2-4 weeks worth of cashfloat that might be considered a kind of emergency fund, yet if you have no investment that you are trying to protect (such as bitcoin) then there is less to lose if you run our of your back up money, float, so part of the reason for having any extra buttress from regular people who do not tend to invest is because there is a desire to protect your bitcoin investment, and since bitcoin might be more volatile than other kinds of investments, there is more reason to protect that you do not sell any of it that is not completely at a time of your own choosing.... so yeah, part of the question may well become the extent to which you are protecting an investment (such as bitcoin), and if you are ONLY able to invest $10 to $100 into bitcoin per week, then your bitcoin investment is surely going to take a long time to grow to any significant size, and maybe it would take you 6 months or more to build your emergency fund if you were not investing into bitcoin, but perhaps if you build your bitcoin and your back up funds simultaneously, it might take you 12-18 months or more to get them into a state of good order...
Each of us needs to decide - yet from my own point of view, I believe that it is way too overly conservative to be building your back up funds prior to getting started in bitcoin.
You couldn't be more correct.
A lot of people who are living paycheck to paycheck may not have enough emergency funds, so it'll be really difficult and challenging for such a person to invest in Bitcoin as it'll be hard to balance the situation.
It is very important to protect one's investment, especially investments as volatile as Bitcoin, in order to avoid unnecessary losses. So it'll be a very smart move to build your emergency fund, while simultaneously investing in Bitcoin, although it may slow down one's accumulation speed and may take a bit longer to achieve/reach one's financial stability or goals, but it's all good as long as one's backup funds are being gradually built and solidified, because the backup funds are just as important ans crucial as the investment itself. Moreover, it's more preferable engage in a slow but steady accumulation with a solid financial backup, than being aggressive with one's accumulation with no solid financial backup.
You also make a fine point when you talked about the time it takes to build a significant Bitcoin investment. Even when the accumulation process is slower and less aggressive with smaller amounts, as long as it's consistent, it can still add up overtime, but though it may take several months or even years to come up with a reasonable amount.
But regardless, the potential benefits of investing in Bitcoin for the long-term, coupled with the security offered by a solid financial backup can indeed be a very huge advantage to one's finance.
