The manner wey every person the talk about this emergency funds when referring to DCAing in order to garner some bitcoin portfolio, the thing come the look so scary putting myself in the body of a newbie and imagining it (despite say I know the significance of this emergency funds say we no fit overstate am in relation to having a successful bitcoin portfolio for a long time investment), say if I no fit afford to the make provision for emergency funds that means no need for me to develop interest in building a portfolio with this asset?

unless u are into trading that's when u will not talk about emergency  fund but as long as long term investment is concern u surely need an emergency fund in order for u not to trade the bitcoin in ur portfolio before the expected time.moreespecially if u are into DCA, u surely need an emergency fund.before u start an investment in bitcoin u must have a source of income and from that ur income that's were u carve out ur emergency fund.lets take for instance ur monthly salary is #100,000 , u can use #30,000 or less to do DCA, #10,000 or so for emergency fund and the rest for other expenses.so what u need to start ur investment is a source of income and then from there carve out an emergency fund thats all.
All of these details you don elucidate about nah something wey normally I get full awareness of but you it seem you never get the point I dey try to make with my question. As I talk for the first comment say I no dey doubt the place of emergency funds for long time investment but my question be say, base on adoption of bitcoin way we the clamour about, but don't we think that this idea of having emergency funds aside for those wey their source of income (salary) for the month fit only reach to take start building their portfolio and also feed from it but no fit manage reach to keep small part as emergency funds. Won't this context be a discouragement for them to go on with bitcoin accumulation ?
Yes there may be some confusion among the investors about the emergency fund but while investing he should remember that he should keep this fund only for real emergency needs as almost every people may have this fund even before investing. Experts advise that the purpose of having an emergency fund is to keep you more secure while investing and to encourage you to save more.

Another positive aspect of increasing the amount of emergency fund is that if you get bearish time for correction while doing Bitcoin DCA regularly, you can buy a lump sum of Bitcoins with floating cash which will increase your holdings. Also, each savings strengthens your underlying holdings and tends to reap multiple profits through patience during price rises.
