I totally agree to all what you said here, while the DCA accumulating strategy remains the best accumulating strategy, that doesn't make the lumps sum strategy bad, the most important thing is investing when the funds is available, and sticking to your investment without you tempering with it in the future.

When it comes to DCA, an investor can still decide to lumpsum as Buying Dip, there're some dips that could be missed forever, if  an investor spot a particular DIP and he's convinced about it them he can lumpsum  as there's no point DCAing above the dip when you could have just buy the Dip. This is a choice left to be determined by the investor though, buying dips can still be done as DCA just that the amount can be increased unlike the normal amount used for interval purchases, if the Buyer is so convinced then he can just buy at once. For example,Last year 48k was a good example, some investors might  believed it will never comeback to 48k , causing them to take the lumpsum into consideration at that point by buying the dip maybe ( and that was indeed true  ).

There is a distinction between DCA and buying the dip. DCA is a periodic purchase of Bitcoin in smaller quantities with the aim of accumulating a fairly bigger quantity on the long run. The goal is to accumulate a bigger stash in a slow and steady process.
While
Buying the dip is purchasing more quantities of BTC at a much lower price when you stumble upon it. Buying the dip is different from DCA, although your DCA accumulation can cut through the dip, but to properly take advantage of the dip and use that accumulation strategy called buying the dip, you'll need to use a bigger sum to buy more quantities of Bitcoin at that very low price otherwise referred to as a dip.

It is not entirely advisable for a newbie who haven't accumulated a decent stash of BTC to just buy the dip and stop there, As far as you've discretionary income available, you should plan to follow up the dip with purchases using DCA. Good thing you can also save up for another dip alongside your periodic accumulation. Continuing your accumulation journey gives you more benefits beyond just acquiring BTC. It surely helps in being able to manage your cashflow better.

You have a point but let's be honest and ask ourselves. How many of us have had 8hours of sleep ever since we joined the cryptocurrency market space?
Waking up at 4 0 clock in the morning is not only applicable to trades, but it is also applied to everyone in the crypto market who wants to take advantage of the market the early morning time is known as the best time to do so before any manipulation or liquidation will happen in the afternoon.

I also never liked the idea of day trading of crypto, and going for the memecoin, or shitcoin is the worse structure for crypto traders because they are mostly created by the team involved to earn some quick bucks.
I still have enough rest when I want because I didn't join cryptocurrency markets, but I joined Bitcoin investment and a Bitcoin investor need not be disturbed with market dynamics since his investments is for a long-term.

What markets are you talking advantage of? and what liquidation and manipulations are you afraid of? All these are plights of a trader, always on his toes guarding against a wrong and risky outcome and denying themselves sleep. Investors are never like that, our duty it's primarily to make available more discretionary income for our next purchase while remaining productive with our lives. Shitcoins and memecoins involvement would only bring you loses. If you want more value for your money on a relaxed mind, embrace Bitcoin accumulation now.
