Stacking Bitcoin is of course better using the DCA pattern every week. It is true, as JJG said, that some examples of investors are definitely trapped at peak prices because they buy all at once without following up to continue accumulating every week. Yes, it will delay their investment because they do it all at once. To solve this, it would be a good idea to divide the money we have into several parts in DCA accumulation so that we don't get stuck at one price in the investment we make.

Some of them often assume that their entry is the lowest point, but actually they are wrong because the market can change suddenly, so DCA is the best for finding the lowest price in Bitcoin accumulation. With regular purchases we will also be more active in studying Bitcoin and we will also be more active in managing cash flow for our execution every week.

You are making a very good point and at the same time not being too clear with some of your statement, so perhaps I would like you to clarified me on the aspect you mentioned that DCA is the best way for founding the lowest price of Bitcoin to accumulate or are you perhaps saying the work of DCA is to be identifying every price dip of Bitcoin before an investor can invest?, perhaps if that be the case you are obviously referring to the lump sum strategy because is the strategy that focus on identifying every price dip to take advantage of while DCA method work contrary to that because waiting to accumulate Bitcoin when the price is lower is the last thing a DCA investors will consider because with DCA you don't need the price to move to a certain direction before you can be convinced to accumulate because at any price you can buy Bitcoin.

The DCA strategy is the best method to use in order to buy at a more lower price but that doesn’t mean that method will give you the lowest price you can buy bitcoin during accumulation. Dip always come when no one expects them, and those dips are more favourable to buy more bitcoin from because it will narrow down your average buy more and your portfolio will immediately increase more in value than it was before. Even when you’ve lump sum and began DCA after that, when a dip comes, don’t hesitate to stack more bitcoin because the opportunity comes only once unlike the DCA that’s readily applicable all the time.

You are right in your explanation by saying we should buy whenever it's dip, but the only impression I want to correct is the aspect you said "dip opportunity only comes once" dip doesn't come once, it comes as many time as possible but surely it depends on the level of dip you mean, if it's a dip in price of about %20 - %30 them certainly it is rear. But if it's %5 to %10 it is common, because certainly someone might consider his dip as %5 -%10 which is often then another may chose his dip as %20 bellow.

Sometimes folks wait for a certain size dip, such as 20%, yet it might not do you a lot of good if you had been waiting since $27k for a 20% dip and then finally you get your 20% plus dip, but the dip is ONLY down to the lower $50ks.. Another problem with waiting for any dip is that you might get several dips that almost meet your threshold but not quite, or alternatively they meet your threshold and then you end up blowing your whole buying on dip amount, while the price keeps dipping.

Surely, there is no exact formula, and a person surely has to figure out how early he might be in his bitcoin journey and maybe consider that his main emphasis might be buying regularly no matter what, even if he might have a side hobby of buying dips, and surely if someone might have been accumulating for a whole cycle or two, then he might be more discriminating in regards to how much dip he wants to get, and not be necessarily prejudiced if he misses his dip buying targets.

Basically the investor's expectation of buying dips is unlimited and they will continue to look for it until it is zero so in my opinion an investor should continue to deposit the DCA method regardless of the market price. Yes, if we see a bearish while we keep this trend going, the lump sum investment could be truly unprecedented considering the situation which could increase the Bitcoin stash and accumulate more holdings than expected before completing a cycle. While both affordability and opportunities for buying lump sums can be uncertain for investors, if one can arrange their portfolio according to both processes, they will surely be several steps ahead in investing.

As you say there is no definitive formula but I think both DCA and lump sum investment are sure solutions. As a bitcoin investor I prefer to accumulate regularly in any price situation as I know that buying extra during dips can increase my holdings yet try to refrain from being aggressive as I always try to keep my real assets much higher than invested. And following this method is basically taken from this thread. Although every dips motivates me to buy aggressively but I try to buy a bit more than the normal accumulation in those situations so that I can continue holding long term later. As possible.
