Before an investor begins to accumulate Bitcoin for the long term, it's important to establish a savings fund and an emergency fund. These funds will help maintain a stable investment portfolio and prevent the need to sell investments prematurely, especially when they are still in the early stages. Having reserve and emergency funds is crucial for Bitcoin investments, as they will allow you to address your needs and any unforeseen circumstances. This way, you can continue to accumulate Bitcoin over time using the DCA strategy, which is popular among investors.
Don't overcomplicate the process of investing in Bitcoin because it should be easy for everyone including new investors. Telling someone to establish savings funds and emergency funds is somewhat confusing because it might send the message that someone have to save in fiat first before buying Bitcoin. This is totally wrong; the money you are saving in fiat can simply be used to buy Bitcoin instead of saving in fiat. Going by your suggestion, someone may decide to save fiat for 3 to 6 months with the intention of using same to purchase Bitcoin... this I consider not effective instead that amount could have been used to buy Bitcoin for that 3 to 6 months using the DCA method or any other method as the case may be.

The right thing to do is to set up emergency fund after funds for basic needs have been set aside and investment made with discretionary income. In other words, whatever inflow you receive, just set aside the mount to cover your basic needs then you can invest part of the remaining then keep some one place as emergency fund. It should be as simple as this to produce effective result and also easy to follow.
nothing is confusing there, because back up fund can also be referred as savings fund in an advance English.  at least you should have checked the meaning of savings funds in the dictionary or on Google before saying that am passing a wrong information, because what I said was very clear if you want to invest in bitcoin as an investor in other for you to avoid selling your investment at early stage you should established a backup fund which can also be refer as savings fund in an advanced English, and emergency fund that we assist you to build a solid investment portfolio for a long period of time.


You are absolutely correct any investment without a backup fund and a discretionary income will not succeed and there is no two ways about It, your discretionary is more like a free money that you can use for your investment and  emergency or backup fund will help you not to touch your investment because emergency and backup fund is for luxury, repairs and all the rest of them but a case or a situation where an investor doesn't have these..., it is very possible that they won't succeed in their investment because ones you touch your investment when it is not yet due or matured at that point in time you have already spoil the investment and holding vibe and if you didn't take all you will still be tempted to take next time and it will now becomes a routine.
