Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL!

I want to correct one impression that you are making here that many people are utilizing the DCA method because it is easy to use. No that's not the case, rather many people are making use of DCA strategy because it is more effective way of investing in bitcoin as it reduces the impact on the capital invested should there be a sudden drop in the market. The DCA method makes the capital outlaw not to reduce drastically when there is a sudden decline in the bitcoin market. This is the more reason why many people are comfortable with using the DCA method of bitcoin investment, not because it is easy. Also the DCA method makes it easier for people to buy bitcoin at their own pace according to their financial level. The truth is there is no method of bitcoin investment that's difficult to use.

You are literally contradicting your own explanation. How about I tell you that I prefer to use the DCA strategy because it is easy to use?. At least, I don't have to monitor Bitcoin price for an entire 24 hours, to observe when there is a dip(for those who only buy the dip). Bitcoin investments, especially to those who are new to it, shouldn't be explained with too many terminologies and complexity, but rather as smooth and easy as possible. Just as you've pointed out, "the DCA method makes it easier for investors to buy Bitcoin", which depends on their financial capabilities (source of income). It's always a continuous process, that doesn't need too many grammer or math solving to explain.

I see that @Justbillywitt is trying to make a point and somewhere along the line maybe he didn't land whe he ought to. And yea surely there are time when we feel we are saying what we think and yet we are not getting it right or may get it right but others see it in Another way. I think what he is trying to say is that DCA strategy is not easy as people think. But what make people think it simple is due to the small fraction they buy weekly and it's not affecting our discretion amount, and if bitcoin price dips we may still have some amount in our discretion to still buy more . But that doesn't mean that DCA strategy or investment strategy is easy.

But in my own opinion DCA may not be as easy as people think, but I know surely it's the easier way of investment compeard to lump sum or buying the dip that is why it is seen as the easier way and not the easiest. because surely most people can not still afford to invest through DCA because of there low source of income or the Level of their discretion. So I may say it's an easier way for investment for those who are willing to invest no matter how small, but may be difficult for those who are not ready or willing to Start.

Ultimately I agree that there could be some element of DCA investing that is the "easiest" of any kind of investment approaches, but whether we label DCA as easy or not might also depend upon context, since even lump sum could be easy in the sense that maybe a guy buys bitcoin one time with a lump sum, and then just waits for 4-10 years or longer to see what the lump sum amount had done.

yea truely lump sum is another easy way of investment strategy that allows you to invest once at ago and never stress up to regularly buy bitcoin through DCA. though that doesn't mean that some folks will not preferably chose other strategy against lump sum too like buying the dip, because I know that not everyone will like to combine the 3 investment approach all together. some may chose DCA while some will chose lump sum, and some will only like buying the dip. so each person will chose the investment approach that is easy for him and which it is not a must that everyone will follow all approach, but for a better investment goal all investment approach is needed for a better acculturation process. why I chose DCA as top priority is because regular buying of Bitcoin through DCA is like getting addicted to invest and saving from unnecessary expenses. you always recite it as a poem in your head to invest all the time, it gives you that impression and constant zeal to always buy regularly Instead of wasting some money for fun on weekly or monthly basis. because there some persons who recieve a huge amount in a contract or some business deal and invest in lump-sum for interval of 4-10 years and stop investment. where as they have a well paying job that gives them a regular payment every week or month which could have been used for regular DCA and buying the dip but they think that they have money in bitcoin which they have a 4-10 years plan, and may spend some money recklessly because they didn't deciplined themselves for regular DCA. I can say that DCA is another way of self deciplined that allow you to make judiciously use of your money without spending it any how and indirectly creating wealth for the future or for our children
