There are still trade-offs if you are holding back some money for buying the dip purposes.
I am not trying to suggest that you do not employ tactics to buy the dip, yet I do object to each of you (GIF-JOBS/Agbamoni) trying to suggest that there are no trade-offs if you are choosing to hold back some money for buying the dip rather than using that money right away to buy BTC...and perhaps to keep in mind that dips may or may not end up happening.
In light of what you are saying sir jayjuanGee if only we consider that DCAing completely has a lot to do with purchasing Bitcoin at any price points which includes catching the dip points there wouldn't be much priority to be given to holding back money for buying the dip purposes but however, even if such preparation should be made allocating a lower percentage of money can be more better of and preferable than doing it excessively, one of the major problem with those prioritizing buy the dip is that they end up not being satisfied with the dip presented to them and hoping for more dip which may or may not end up happening and thereby miss various opportunities they could have utilize and buy Bitcoin.
Those are some of the drawbacks and consequences that must be accepted if someone chooses to wait for the price to drop when buying Bitcoin. So basically if we believe in bitcoin and we will invest in the long term, I think buying bitcoin at any price now will not be a big problem. Because in 10 years the price of bitcoin will definitely be much higher than it is now. So why bother waiting for the price to drop first to buy bitcoin, because basically long-term investors will not really need that method. So this is where I understand why DCA is really a very accurate buying strategy to apply to bitcoin. Because the price of bitcoin which is certainly still low has great potential to continue to experience a very high price increase. So with that, DCA is really useful in bitcoin. In addition, if a bitcoin investor is too fixated on the price drop when making a purchase, I think that person can be said to not be a true bitcoin investor. Because I believe that if someone wants to buy bitcoin at the cheapest possible price, most likely that person will sell their bitcoin quickly when there is a price increase. Because I think the simple logic is like that. But an example of a true bitcoin investor, surely they will not care about the current bitcoin price, when they are going to make a purchase. Because their goals are far and long term.
