This is surely talking about investing with what you can afford to lose, but the way you explain it makes it look somehow different. We have said it repeatedly that guys should figure out how to invest with the little they can afford to lose, as this will help to maintain a good investment strategy to avoid selling your Bitcoin too quickly. if it happens that you are investing aggressively without a good reserved fund you will fuck up down the road due to bad financial management.
It's not about big or small fund but about how big or small your invesment fund is in comparison with your whole finance. To afford losing your investment fund, basically it should not consume too big part of your whole finance.

As if you are a degen, and bet all your finance into one investment for example Bitcoin, or worse with a shitcoin, I am very sure that after you made your entry, your mentality will become very unstable as you know deeply by your heart that if you lose in that bet, your life will be destroyed entirely when you will have no money left and face with a truly terrible bankruptcy.

If you manage to use small and acceptable discremental part of your whole finance into investment, you will easily afford to lose it, and it makes your hands stronger for holding a good asset like Bitcoin.
I think you are giving much emphasis to the wrong aspect of unrealistic bitcoin speculations by non investors and traders. If you are Really referring to bitcoin investment, then you might be wrong about a person loosing all his funds. Bitcoin investment is a long term practice and records have not had such investors regret holding their funds.

Investment by DCA using discretionary income does not also imply preparing to loose your entire money as it is nearly impossible. Bitcoin traders are faced with loosing their money often times because they keep buying to sell in short term and has no patience to hold.

So I don't think it's right to scare a newbie with the saying that YOU INVEST WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOOSE.
How will that statement Invest what you can afford to loss  be scaring to newbies? That's just the reality of bitcoin investment you will definitely be gambling with your investment the moment you are using the money you can't afford to loss because there will be a point where you will be willing to sell out your bitcoin in a very short time because you were investing with the amount you can't do away with.
Bitcoin investment should be done with our discretionary income, your leftover income after you have sort all necessary expenses such as family needs feeding, children school fees and so then you an use the remaining for your bitcoin investment which is your discretionary income. So investing with what you can afford to loss shouldn't be a scaring statement to newbies that is what they need to know.
The difference is that you are not investing what you can loose but what you can hold. There's a clear difference!! What you can loose makes it a gambling which is Trading. Whereas investing to hold means Bitcoin Investment. Investing with discretionary income particularly by DCA means you are aiming long term holding. Discretionary income doesn't mean anyone would love to loose the money. Bitcoin Trading is the reason behind that statement "Invest what you can loose"! Don't confuse the two. I don't know it all but I still know that anyone that really understands bitcoin and won't ask anyone to invest what he can afford to loose but what he can afford to hold for long.

The phrase invest what you can afford to lose is not a bad advice to give anyone, it all depends on your interpretation and meaning you relate to it because I will say that is another way of saying that Bitcoin investment is not risk free so when are investing it should be from our discretionary income and even while making references to any of those future risks and uncertainty Bitcoin still remain one of the best place we can put our value .
