Well I had not realized that you had experience accumulating gold, and surely with your looking more into bitcoin, you have likely come to realize that bitcoin is likely close to 1,000x better than gold in terms of various monetary properties, even though it could take 50-200 years or longer for the fair valuation to iron itself out in the market - and at the same time, bitcoin has been eating gold's lunch in the past 10-ish years or longer, so any of us trying to pay attention to real matters should be able to recognize so much relative disadvantage in regards to continuing to hold onto gold (if any of us might have had maintained some of those practices).
Sure, you might live in a location in which there is some practicality in exchanging gold, which could justify holding more of it, yet if you are holding any more than 10% of the value of your bitcoin in gold, you are likely living in a fantasy world... and you likely should be figuring out ways to regularly allocate out of gold whether it is failing/refusing to continue to stock gold or perhaps slowly selling some of your gold stash while simultaneously increasing your bitcoin holdings. Details of how to reallocate can sometimes have varying individualistic obstacles that might need to be figured out and tailored to your own situation... but yeah, hopefully you both recognize what is good for you and how to accomplish any necessary reallocation away from gold and into bitcoin... and sure, ultimately the choice is yours whether you do the right thing or not, you are the one who is responsible for if you stay in gold, reallcoate into bitcoin or some other variation of how you choose to act (and non-action can also have meaningful/significant consequences).
I last accumulated gold in 2016 and after that I no longer do it. For now my focus is only on bitcoin and also planning to adjust a more aggressive budget this year, Yes this is the third year of routine bitcoin accumulation that I do 2023, 2024 and now 2025.
I want to cash in a little idea, which I might plan in Q2 this year in a tiered accumulation that I will continue to align for Q3 and Q4 this year. What I mean is, I will increase purchases in each Quarter with a different budget or rather act more aggressively in each Quarter.
on the one hand, I will sell some gold or slowly to support my planning to be able to buy bitcoin more aggressively in each Quarter.
As you said earlier, the level of investment years each year would be better to act more aggressively to buy bitcoin, but I will do it every Quarter more aggressively and yes DCA still works as it should.
I also think that such adjustments will be faster for me to reach the accumulation target or reach the target in a faster time. I think some other things are still being considered before I start in Q2.
