That simple "line" holds historical significance in Bitcoin, although "some people" may disagree.
what if the price of Bitcoin keep soaring, are we going to still be waiting for the price to drop before we invest? What if in the process we spend the fund while waiting for the dip time to come? I think this are discouragement mindset and I see them as procrastination that tends to divert our attention from from doing what we ought to do whenever we are ready.
I believe you're applying the wrong attitude towards choosing a DCA strategy. A DCA investor accepts the condition that he/she can't predict the market, and therefore purchases an asset in a fixed amount/in regular intervals. Telling yourself, "what if the price of Bitcoin keep soaring", will merely lead you to FOMO.

If you are holding back money and not investing, then you may well be led to FOMO more easily than someone who is already investing (through DCA) on a regular consistent and persistent basis.
What's the point of holding money without investing? Maybe because it's waiting for an uncertain downturn? Obviously this will be easier to get FOMO when bitcoin has soared and he doesn't invest but just holds it while other people who are successful with consistent DCA continue to experience the profits he does all the time with his DCA then those who hold money will FOMO and buy bitcoin prices at high prices, it is not wrong to buy any bitcoin price as long as the long-term is 10 years, but we know people who are FOMO will usually feel easy to panic again when prices fall.

Unlike an investor whose DCA strategy will remain consistent under any circumstances.
