The only time you should change strategy is when you notice you are no longer comfortable with that strategy or the strategy is not giving you the desired result needed, a lot of people started Bitcoin investment by accumulating only during the dip I was among this set of people but when I saw the DCA strategy and how it works I preferred it to the other I was using because the former didn't give me the result I needed it slowed down my accumulation, so go for the strategy you feel will give you your desired result and abandon any strategy that is slowing you down.
It seems very contradictory in the accumulation journey if we just started investing in bitcoin with DCA strategy and quickly switch to another strategy then such a decision will make you inconsistent throughout the long-term accumulation planning.
No, it is not, as far as the new investor does not just sit, cross their arms and just wait for the dip to purchase bitcoin, he's on track. Citing the example of the guy you quoted, surely, he was doing the wrong thing earlier by just waiting for the dip but got wiser and more informed along the way and switched to DCA which was a better accumulation strategy for a newbie. He made the right decision to change strategy to a more proficient one for his level in bitcoin accumulation.
If we just started investing in bitcoin then we must be able to maintain initial strategy until the next 5 years and after that we can change the strategy that may be more aggressive or buy dips.
I cannot agree with you, there can be scenarios where the investor suddenly has a large discretionary income, he can choose to frontload his investment in order to fast-track his accumulation journey while continuing his regular purchases. With a deeper understanding of bitcoin, he might choose to divide the large discretionary income into three parts, use A part for lump summing, use the second part to increase his aggressiveness in his regular purchases and the final part to target the dip. I believe he is still on track. The emphasis is on reaching your accumulation target faster.
the initial stages of investment require a lot of patience, mental readiness and readiness to stick with one strategy in order to increase our focus on buying bitcoin.
The new investor might stick with one strategy like DCA from the start, but along the line and as he continues learning and gaining more experiences, he might decide to employ more than one strategy in order to fast-track his accumulation journey. As long as he is increasing his portfolio consistently without overdoing it and has a long-term holding target, He is much likely to be very successful with bitcoin
