I am also suggesting that the three options available for the guy with $6k to supplement his already exiting $100 per week DCA also involves considering how to treat the upfront $6k by considering that money into the three categories of DCA, lump sum and buying on dip.. and sure he could divide 1/3 into each of those categories or he could decide some other way of apportioning within the three BTC accumulation categories.
I think I get a clearer view and understanding of the hypothetical scenario you referenced.
And yeah combining the 3 accumulation strategies and spreading the $60k across the different strategies may indeed maximize potential returns while also minimizing the risk of losses as long as the investor still maintains the long term perspective.
This hybrid approach helps the investor to be able to harness the advantages of the three strategies all at once. By setting aside part of the money for constant DCA buying, the investor may be able to reduce timing risks and also ride out ride out market volatility while also spreading out the investment overtime, and by using another part for lump sum buying, he’ll be able to capitalize on the potential growth of the investment, and by setting aside the last portion of the money for buying the DIP, he’ll be able to take advantage of the market when there’s a downturn in the market.
The investor will be able to optimize their Bitcoin accumulation through this combined strategy as well as being able to mitigate the risks associated the market’s volatility.
Though it’s crucial for an investor to consider and also find the right balance based on their understanding of the market as well as their personal financial circumstances, because this combined approach may consider the individual’s financial goals, market analysis and risk tolerance.
I think you should give more importance to holding rather than expecting potential returns. Expectations of higher profits especially in Bitcoin investments can reduce the growth of Bitcoin holdings so you should focus on holding more. Also by holding long term DCA you can get a huge benefit that can increase the portfolio's growth trend over time. I don't agree to call these methods hybrids because when investing in Bitcoin you should make realistic decisions given the normal conditions like the DCA method. Also backup funds through which you can try to run DCA for long term and continuously and manage multiple cycles or more cycles.
When you see a market correction (dip) you can choose to invest your extra funds in a lump sum which will accelerate the growth of Bitcoin holdings and the possibility of having a decent portfolio before a cycle turns. To reduce the potential risk in investment you should give top priority to DCA strategy which is a universal method ideal for every class of investors.
