As far as bitcoin investment is concerned, both the poor and the rich investors need to set aside an emergency fund because it is what will help them to solve their unforeseen problems that may occur along their bitcoin accumulation journey. Even if they don't build up their emergency fund at the beginning of their bitcoin investment, there is no problem with it; they can go ahead and start their bitcoin investment, but they should make sure to build it up as they are accumulating bitcoin. Surely bitcoin investment is applicable on a long-term basis, so anyone who is interested in investing in bitcoin should understand that bitcoin investment is about being patient because it is only in the long run that someone can actually achieve success in bitcoin investment.
I agree with you, this is the knowledge some individuals lack before beginning their Bitcoin investment. Many people believe that the Bitcoin they are holding will serve as the funds they will spend in times of emergency, but this is not the case when it comes to Bitcoin accumulation; one must have an emergency fund separate from their Bitcoin holdings because selling part of their holding will affect their accumulation. Though some people might find it difficult to set aside funds for an emergency if they are already accumulating Bitcoin, it is best for them to do so before they begin to accumulate Bitcoin.
Of course, anyone who believes they can succeed in a Bitcoin investment needs patience. As long as an individual is prepared to invest in Bitcoin, regardless of their financial situation, they must set aside emergency funds since Bitcoin is not a way to get quick money to meet our needs or to escape poverty.
In my opinion, emergency funds are important and mandatory for long-term Bitcoin holders in any way, especially DCA, and they should prepare or set aside money so that they can continue to buy Bitcoin regularly and also set aside for emergency funds, so that investment plans that are carried out in the long term can run well and also generate large profits because the Bitcoin they own remains intact without being touched for other interests for whatever reason even though it is very important.
And if emergency funds are an obstacle, then what must be done is to try to find a side job or additional income so that you can meet the emergency fund. And besides that, with this additional income, you can increase the nominal purchase of Bitcoin that you usually buy periodically and this is a smart way and most people succeed in any investment and if this method can be practiced with Bitcoin, the results will be more satisfying in the future.
