I'm experienced in the world of trading and investing to know the difference between the two and the fact that our view didn't align doesn't make me less right. This is the same mistake you always make thinking I mistake trading for investing but still didn't change anything because I stand with what I wrote, it's my philosophy of investment and the DCA approach and is working for me.
Actually from your statement JayJuanGee was not wrong in what he was saying because your understanding or perception about DCA seem to be very different from the actual course and aside from that I can't even comprehend what you actually mean by "
what if at the end the investors who use DCA end up not getting anything from there strategy, do you mean that DCA is not the right strategy?
I have my doubts whether he or even guys like him outperform the DCAers or the other guys who are mostly just buying and holding, and so several of the BTC buyers/holders/long term investors made multiples and even magnitudes of profits in regards to their strategies, in part due to compounding value, yet frequently the traders are not coming even close to similar levels of profits as compared to bitcoiners who mostly errored on the side of accumulating (through buying only) and holding.
You are right because on a normal sense I don't think there are other principles or strategy that outperform DCA as a long term holding in regards to the measure of profit because if for instance those that claim that they make more better profit in trading than holders, let's say for example they bought when the price was $55k and later on the price move to $60k and maybe they profited $2k and while they keep waiting for the price to position for them to buy again instead the price move very higher possibly to the extent of almost hitting $80k so they will be left with no option but to buy at that price and by that time they will realize that even with the $2k profits they had plus total capital will not even be enough to accumulate the amount of Bitcoin they had during there first entry which is considered as wasted investment, meanwhile the profit that would possibly be reflecting on the portfolio of those who are holding will be much higher because they have a large amount of Bitcoin, so actually this is what most traders who claims they always stand on a better opportunity in gaining than holders needs to understand because if most of them will calculate there losses and profits they will realize that they have not profited anything.
It could be that a trader does not necessarily want to tie up his capital for too long in any particular trade unless he sees it to be profitable, and so will have some difficulties recognizing value in regards to investing that ties up capital for a long period of time...
Traders are so attached to the process of making profit in a quicker way and as such seeing any other method that doesn't work in line with what they want as an unsuitable investment for them which is why they will always object or compare trading with holders without knowing that mathematically holders are the most profitable investment because trading is a win and lose investment while holders portfolio continues to grow as the Bitcoin increases.
