Well buying at the dip and also investing in the DCA strategy accordingly can be combined but it kind of essential to understand the importance of each approach

If you buy the dip, you're already considered investing. So, whether you DCA or simply buy the dip, there is not a lot of difference and even can be said of the same thing.

I completely disagree, while both method can be considered as investing, they are far from being the same thing, buy the DIP means buy alot of bitcoin when the market value is low, people who choose to do this tend to wait for a while before they can buy coz they have to wait for the price to actually DIP and this might take a long time, this method is usually employed by veteran investors who are already close to meeting their target value, they are mostly not waiting for the DIP but chose to make the most of it while it lasts, employing the DCA strategy can be done by newbies as well as veteran, in fact the target price placestby the veteran investors was most likely done through the DCA method, newbies are adviced to use the DCA method since they might not be able to wait for a DIP, a newbie even wait for a dip before buying bitcoincis a mistake.
So you can see that while both methods are employed by investors, they are not the same

You’re actually right, to be honest both strategy are not the same including other different strategy, there’s always a difference even if the aim is to achieve a good investment record but, describing buying the dip as a strategy investors wait for before buying doesn’t seem right. For example an investor can still be buying using the dca while accumulating a large amount during the dip doesn’t necessary mean they waited for the dip but, I get what you’re trying to point out, so far it’s obvious investing is a contionious practice even after getting to the target plan like the veteran you mentioned, if considering waiting probably the reason must worth the wait like lack of funds etc also I agree with the point newbies should focus less on the market rather buy using the dca although the dca strategy is so popular for newbies definitely it gives room for a good management plan.
