If you ignore those important ingredients which are having
a good backup funds and good source of income before you becoming aggressive in your Bitcoin investment you will surely dip hands into your Bitcoin investment, so before you become aggressive in your Bitcoin accumulation you need to have a good source of income and a good backup funds.
Now when we talk about aggressive Bitcoin accumulation is in different ways one may choose to use more than half of his discretion income to accumulate Bitcoin weekly or monthly which is not the way he those before and the other person may choose to use all his discretion income to accumulate, now when you have a good backup funds and a good source of income you can cover up and it won't affect you but if you don't have them it will affect you and it may lead to you dipping hands into your Bitcoin investment.

It is important to have a backup fund so that the individual does not have to sell his Bitcoin investment in the event of an emergency. Moreover, many investors keep backup funds in their investments with the DCA strategy, essentially for buying in lump sump. When they face dumping periods in the market, they take the opportunity to buy more bitcoins with the backup funds at lower prices.

Yes it is important to have backup funds when investing in bitcoin, but that backup funds are not meant to be utilise for Lump summing or buy any fucking dip. The backup funds are specifically kept for solving future emergencies. Your investment is for a long time and in course of the years that you will be holding your bitcoin, you are going to experience some unplanned emergencies along the line. So it is because of those unforeseen emergencies that may occur that's the reason for keeping the backup funds.

If you use your backup funds for Lump sum buying, then you have exposed your investment to possible sale, because when you will be hit by emergency you won't have money to solve it, and at that time you will have no options than to sell your investment to settle the emergency. You can lump sum when you receive extra funding maybe from the sales of inheritance or when you receive funds from other business deals. But just know it that your backup funds is not meant for Lump sum buying or buying the dip.

It's actually not a problem if you end up having to sell your Bitcoin because of an emergency. I've done it before, and I have no regrets, although if I had held on I would have made a bigger profit.
if you have a reserve fund that can be used to back up emergencies. But sometimes when we have that kind of fund and see Bitcoin going down, we can't resist the urge to add some to our wallet. It's a human condition and is often experienced by investors.

It seen you are already regretting from your statement , that why is always adviceable to have an emergency fund incase if an unforeseen contingency arises you will not dip hand into your bitcoin investment. If you don't have adequate emergency fund you can be building your emergency fund at the same time while still investing in bitcoin. Reserve fund is not for backing up emergency but rather emergency fund is what is use for backing up emergency, you use reserve fund to buy more bitcoin into your portfolio while emergency fund is strictly for situation that is beyond our control and it makes it possible for investors to be able to hold there bitcoin for a longer duration without dipping hand into there btc investments .so i would gladly advise if you don't want to find yourself in such a state where by you would be force to sell your bitcoin before the investment timeline you set for yourself you can start building your emergency fund while still investing in bitcoin.

When you open a position with a broker or trading provider, you’ll be presented with two prices. If you want to trade at the buy price, which is slightly above the market price, you open a ‘long’ position. If you want to trade at the sell price – slightly below the market price – you open a ‘short’ position. The difference between the buy and sell price is known as the ‘spread’, which the provider takes to facilitate the position.
A long position in traditional trading is when you buy an asset in the expectation its price will rise, so you can sell it later for a profit. This is also referred to as going long or buying

Making a long trade doesn’t necessarily mean buying a physical asset. Derivatives like CFDs and futures contracts give you the opportunity to take a long position on a market without owning underlying asset. You are simply speculating that the price of the asset will rise.
A short position in trading is a strategy used to take advantage of markets that are falling in price. When you make a short trade, you are selling a borrowed asset in the hope that its price will go down, and you can buy it back later for a profit. It is also known as short-selling, shorting or going short.

Short-selling works by borrowing the underlying asset from a trading broker, and then immediately selling it at the current market price. Shorting is the opposite of going long – where you will make a profit if the price goes up.

Again, let’s say you want to trade bitcoin against the US dollar (bitcoin/USD). The current market price is 3919, and you decide to take a short position and sell 5 contracts (each equivalent to 1 BTC) to open a position at this price.

If you were right, and the value of bitcoin fell against the US dollar, your trade would profit. Let’s say that the new market price is 3874, you could close your position and take your profit by buying 5 contacts to close your position at the buy price of 3879, which is slightly higher than the market price due to the spread. Because the market has moved 40 points in your favour, the profit on your trade would be calculated as follows: 5 x 40 = $200. If the market moved against you by 40 points, you would have made a loss, calculated as 5 x -40 = -$200.

How to go long and short on markets
If you want to take a long or short position on a market, you can open a CFD trading account. CFD trading is the buying (going long) and selling (going short) of contracts for the difference in price of an asset, between the opening and closing of your position.

CFDs and are derivative products, because they enable you to speculate on financial markets such as shares, forex, indices and commodities without having to take ownership of the underlying assets. Both methods use leverage, which means you only have to put up a small margin (deposit) to gain exposure to the full value of the trade. This can magnify your potential profit, but also your potential loss.

How buyers and sellers affect the market
Buyers and sellers affect supply and demand – and therefore the price – of an asset. At any given time, one group tends to outweigh the other, and that’s the primary reason the price of a market fluctuates. When the buyers outweigh the sellers, demand for the market rises. As a result, the price of the asset rises. When it’s the other way around, supply increases and demand for the asset starts to drop – and the price falls. The way supply and demand affect markets is often referred to as volatility.

A buyer’s market is when buyers have the advantage over sellers. They can negotiate a better buying price for an asset because supply is far more than demand. A seller’s market is when there is limited supply of an asset and an overflow of buyers. In this case, the seller has the advantage.Ct
When you place a trade, you are either ‘buying’ or ‘selling’ a financial instrument
A long position in trading is when you buy an asset in the expectation its price will rise
A short position in trading is when you sell an asset in the expectation its price will fall
You can go long or short on a market by opening a CFD account
When buyers outweigh sellers, demand increases, and price rises
When sellers outweigh buyers, supply increases, and demand and price drop.
