My point frequently has been that even if it is good to have goals and even somewhat concrete goals, it is also not to necessary to get too obsessed with goals that you may or may not be able to reach, especially since we cannot really be sure of the price of bitcoin and the feasibility of reaching something like 1 BTC based on whatever budget that you have, and so you can largely just shoot for doing the best that you can - and so there are a variety of ways to measure that.. so even though i question the goal to reach 1 BTC, I am not opposed to it.. and even I had some kind of a BTC based goal when I started in late 2013, and I had largely surpassed my goal within the first year of my being in bitcoin, but that is largely based on the BTC prices going down in the first year that I was in BTC, so I continued to set goals that were somewhat based on BTC, but they were also somewhat random and not really pegged to anything, and so going through the process of both accumulating BTC and also going through some price waves and even rethinking of your thinking, any of us may well end up refining our earlier goals to be attempts to peg our goals to where we are at and to where the values had changed over time, so we might end up juxtaposing both dollar and BTC values and attempting to peg our goals based on where we are at.. which becomes more concrete especially after going through more than a whole cycle.
Yeah ready understand not to get obsessed with goals one may or may not be able to reach, when I started my bitcoin journey at first my goal was to accumulate till I have gotten myself some good bitcoin stashes like 4 BTC , but as time goes the began to increase and the chances of me hitting that goal was reducing also , but still I continue to strive till bitcoin got to this point, so I have to make some adjustments because if I continue with my previous goal I may endup being discouraged because bitcoin price may keep increasing, so I have to set a goal that won't take much years to hit , like for example I can set my first to be 0.5 BTC and if by any chances I endup hitting it I will increase it to 1 BTC which is my goal for now and after hitting I may decide to push further by adding more stashes. May be at that time I will focus on using lump-summing and buying the dip method to purchase.
Sure it might not be a bad idea to keep in mind some quantity of BTC that you would like to reach at various points in your bitcoin journey, yet for me, I tend to think about more concrete goals that I am able to reach that might involve ways to calculate your disposable income and then have amounts that you are able to invest within your disposable income in the coming 6 months to year, and surely even within the concept of disposable income, there are ways to be creative with that - which might involve something like making sure that you buy bitcoin every week (or some other period) no matter what, and surely there could be some ways that you might be able to incorporate buying the dip into your already existing accumulation system, yet lump sum buying largely relates to coming across extra money at various points in the year, and surely if you already have bitcoin buying systems and even bitcoin buying thinking in place, then you are likely in a much better position to incorporate lump sum buying with any extra cash that might end up coming in your direction. One of the great things about receiving some kind of extra or surprise payment is that it can facilitate your being able to employ some BTC buying techniques that might have had previously been outside of your normal routine.. so guys who had previously been blowing their bonuses or buying stupid things with their bonuses, if you have a BTC buying plan in place, then receiving bonuses all of a sudden creates bitcoin investing opportunities for you that you had not previously considered as empowering.
