Reserve funds is meant to be used for future cost and other unexpected things especially if you don't want to messed up everything especially with your investment started. That's why we should come well prepared so that we will not fall down easily when there's sudden shift of the market knowing how volatile the market is.

Also people should not afraid to use it if this this will give them more good result. But make sure they are not taking everything excessively so that they won't messed up and make sure they follow their plans and so that there's no possible problem will occur to them. For any future issues coming I guess our emergency funds will cover that condition, that's why we need to have proper budgeting and came prepared so that we can make our chance to succeed higher for our Long term investment plan.

We just need to have good discipline and good cashflow to make everything works according to what we like to happen.
Reserve funds is not the same thing as emergency funds and both served different purposes.an investors that has $90 as his dissertation can decide to be using $10 for his weekly or monthly DCA and the remaining $80 in his reserve funds.so when ever a dip occurs he can use money from his reserve funds to buy the dip.He can decide to use 80% , 20% or 5% of his reserve funds to buy the dips depending on the level of the dip and the choice of the investor as to the percentage of his reserve funds he is to use to buy the dips.
Any new investor or low coiner that has a $90 discretionary income, and decided to invest only $10 every week on bitcoin as the amount that he is using to DCA, and keeps $80 in his reserve funds for the dip is not a serious investor and is not ready to build his bitcoin investment in ac fast pace. It's bad to keep too much fiat currency with you all in the name of waiting for the dip that you don't know when it will come.

You will also miss out the good chance of investing aggressively with DCA a neb increase your portfolio faster. The funny thing is that the dip may come or not and before you know it other investors portfolio have grown to a certain height and yours is still very small because the dip does not come all the time, which is why regular DCA is good to keep your accumulation journey ongoing with persistent, consistent and aggressively.

If I was in your shoes, and want to set up my reserve funds, I will use $50 for every week DCA, and keep $25 to build my reserve funds to a certain height, and after that, I will use all the $80 to invest aggressively based on my financial scenario playing out at that moment. It's wrong is you can invest aggressively and you invest in a whimpy way. Your focus when investing on a long term should be how you can keep buying bitcoin continuously, persistently and aggressively or frontload overtime by looking for other means of income to increase your discretionary income and not to be keeping our discretionary income to accumulate bitcoin in a slow pace.
I agree with you here. $90 and $10 man such investor will be seen to be an unserious investor or a greedy one. Only an investor who is not ready to invest properly into Bitcoin will invest only $10 out of the $90 discretionary income. Unless he has other places he is investing into it. Maybe he is diversifying his portfolio so he only choose to invest 9% of his discretionary income in Bitcoin but that is not an ideal way to invest.

For newbies that just started its either they should focus on Bitcoin on the early stage rather than diversifying into several asset with the same frequency they are using to DCA in Bitcoin. After they must have had a good amount of Bitcoin in their portfolio they can choose to diversify. Diversification should come only when they are properly settled with the first Bitcoin investment goal if not they will only end up having little amount of Bitcoin in their portfolio. Meanwhile on the contrary they are jeopardizing their investment gradually thinking they are investing the right way.
I disagree with you, if someone is earning $90 a week or a month and then the person decide to use $10 to be accumulating it is not wrong reason because you don't know what the person is taking care of and before he decided to use $10 it is possible that it is the only money he or she can spare or let go as a matter of fact the $10 is even more than 10% of $90 so it is not wrong rather Bitcoin investment most times is based on capacity how much you can handle your investment so that you don't run into problem.

However, diversifying with the same amount they are using to DCA is not actually wrong, just like i said it depends on individual capacity, anyone who feels he or she can handle or take care of two or more investment then they should go ahead but they should ensure to keep or follow the principles of those investment because every investment has there principles through which one can follow to become successful.

You have a point but also think the other side of it, if one is having just a spare $10 after every expense he had made from his $90 monthly payment. It is not wrong to invest with the amount because like you have said it's already more than a %10 of $90 but IMO investing just $10 monthly will not make the investor to achieve his dream portfolio within 4 year or 5 years because the amount he's investing is kind of little. However my point is, instead of investing $10 on Bitcoin monthly, it's preferable to invest that amount ($10) in Bitcoin weekly because at the end of the month you have already gotten $40 already if you keep investing $10 every week and it will help} achieve a decent amount if you have a long term plans.
Although it's kind of not easy for a low salary earner to do this because he's salary might be insufficient to keep to it. Moreover someone who's having an insufficient balance to invest in bitcoin should likely reduce his expenses so that he could have a more higher amount to invest on Bitcoin.
If one is a bachelor that's gets paid the sum $90 monthly and doesn't have much responsibility to care for, he can invest $20 monthly on Bitcoin by dividing the money in 4 places or instead investing them all at ones (depending on his decisions).
IMO a bachelor can easily reduce his monthly or daily expenses than one who's married and with kids.
