Fair enough that largely you have been improving your bitcoin focus, and largely you have two years of such improved focus under your belt, and even though none of us (besides you) can really know the various ways in which you can increase your BTC accumulation aggressiveness, without over doing it, there should be a bit of a presumption that as you learn (and through two years of pretty solid experience), you are able to tweak your approach..

and so there are presumptions that you should be able to increase your aggressiveness, yet there also could be times in which you come to realize that you had been going too hard and too strong - and also recall that there is likely an over-representation of normies who consider themselves to be bitcoin investment geniuses (are you one of them?) since they get the false impression that they are smarter than they are, merely because there has been almost no way to fail in bitcoin in the last 2 years since the BTC price has pretty much continuously gone up during that time.

Each of us has to attempt to retain some level of humbleness in regards to realizing that we might not really know how aggressive that we should be and how much aggressiveness might be too much, especially since there likely could be a considerable amount of turbulence in 2025, including that we may or may not end up getting a blow off top in 2025.. yet we cannot even be sure about that.. so we have to try to protect ourselves no matter where we are at, and surely there has to be some level of good feelings that any of the guys in bitcoin are going to have if they had been employing relatively aggressive BTC accumulation in the past 2-ish to 3-ish years...and many of us surely start to feel good when we have on-paper profits in our bitcoin holdings and even a decent amount of cushion between our average cost per BTC and the current BTC prices....

Some guys will overreact and even end up screwing up based on their perceptions of the "right thing to do," and in the end, it can continue to be challenging to even get through a whole cycle of ongoing stacking and perhaps even also realizing that true levels of comfort may well not really start to materialize until 1.5 cycles or more.. of course, depending on circumstances, too... and no one is going to save any of us or feel sorry for any of us if we end up screwing up within our own figuring out of whether to be aggressive and/or how aggressive to be or if we might end up erroring on the side of being too aggressive, yet not realizing that we had gone too far (or we had not gone far enough) until after we had already screwed up.
That's right sir, I still need a lot of more constructive suggestions in the accumulation that I want to run in the coming year. I don't mean to act more aggressively right away but I plan to adjust the ideas in this thread especially your explanation so that I can combine them with my ideas for a more tiered accumulation phase this year.

Honestly, I feel happy and also satisfied with the journey of the previous 2 years. It was amazing, I only focused on accumulating Bitcoin every week and DCA has been the first choice in the last 2 years.

Of course you are right, humility and accepting input from others are certainly better for growing an approach to bitcoin. Especially in 2025 of course there are many hopes that we want to achieve, such as expecting health so that we can find money to invest and be successful like the accumulation in the previous year, also wanting to step more carefully so as not to make mistakes this year.
