Buddy yea people decide to chose whatever strategy they are comfortable with but in all many people still prefer DCA method no doubt, I don't understand what you mean by lump sum being risky because of volatility, mate volatility is Bitcoin thing and I believe that an interested and a ready investor that understand the concept of Bitcoin will not want to buy with a lump sum amount just because of volatility I don't think you're right in this one, even though such person decide not but in lump sum does that stop volatility, volatility favour both upsurge and dip but that wouldn't deter anyone from buying in a lump sum if they have the lump sum amount ready at anytime.

Quite agree with what you said that people who do not choose to invest with a lump sum are not because of the volatility of the bitcoin price, but it could be more about him choosing to play it safe and less stressed by doing DCA. It's like someone who is new to Bitcoin and only has basic knowledge, but he wants to jump into Bitcoin investment, he chooses to do DCA more to invest gradually either daily or weekly, it's like testing the waters before fully committing or involving his money completely in Bitcoin, and while seeing how his risk tolerance is on that.
There are many investors who are afraid to invest in the beginning, they are afraid to invest in Bitcoin due to market volatility, for them, investing in DCA on the one hand makes the investor confident and on the other hand they are able to learn more about Bitcoin. Because of which they increase the investing amount in the future. By doing DCA, an investor benefits in all areas. Some new investors may be encouraged to invest in other cryptocurrencies without increasing their Bitcoin investment because they do not have enough money. But if they plan to do DCA, they can only hold Bitcoin regularly. Applying this strategy, an opportunity will be created for long-term holding, which can make the investor profitable.
For those who are interested in lump sum investments, it can be difficult to hold Bitcoin for the long term. They may sell Bitcoin for a small profit, but those who plan for the long term by doing DCA can be a strong holder. Stress free investing can certainly give the investor many advantages in holding it for the long term.I don't really agree with the last paragraph of what you said. No one can guarantee that someone who does DCA can become a long-term holder, or that those who choose lump sump are more difficult to become long-term holders. It's all about their knowledge and mentality as an investor. There are also people who do DCA and invest regularly, but when the market drops like now, they become shaky and sell all the bitcoins they hold, worried that their money will decrease - their lack of knowledge and mentality makes them make the wrong decision. But there are also people who choose lump sump in bitcoin, and hold it for a long time, because they already have the right knowledge and strong mentality as a bitcoin investor, so that when the market fluctuates, they are not affected and continue to hold their bitcoins until their goals are achieved. It's all about the mentality and knowledge of the person.
