Investors should identify their discretionary income, use it to buy bitcoin for the start and follow up with DCA. Having set their accumulation target and holding period, they should follow up buying consistently and with dedication. There is also need to be building out their backup funds alongside accumulating bitcoin to prevent their portfolio from being tampered.
Their safe or unsafe investment capital management starts with how they manage their finance and how much money used for investment compares to their whole capital. If they start with good investment capital allocation, like never use most or all money for investment, they will feel more comfortable with their investment. Hence, their investment practice will be more like an effortless journey.
Another thing you've to know is that when a potential investor has not started buying bitcoin, he has not started. The thought of saving to buy bitcoin is only a hypothetical investment activity. Until you have bought bitcoin and had laid out plans to continue and sustain your investment, you are just a spectator and might end up not actually investing.
There is nothing like a potential investor and in my opinion, you are whether an investor or only an outsider of this market. When you start to spend money to purchase bitcoin, it's your start of participation in this market as a buyer, but you need more things to become an investor.
Buying is a good start but you need to have a stance and strategy of an investors, by focusing on long term growth of Bitcoin in value and price, ignore trading, and knowing importance of be your own custodian of your bitcoin. If you do all things well, you already become an investor in Bitcoin market.
