Your statement seems quite confusing, Buying the dip always presents an opportunity to accumulate more bitcoin in our portfolio but it necessarily doesn’t mean that we have to acquire when there is a dip, consistent acquisition of Bitcoin is more likely to be prioritized, for sure when there is a dip the price will definitely increase at any given time but it’s not always guaranteed, but if we are investing to make a profit like you mentioned then I must say your illustration sounds like a trader, long term investment strategy is always emphasized here and that is the most valuable and effective Bitcoin investment strategy to help and shield from some risk, And buying a dip and when there is an increase then you grab your opportunity with your bulk profit is more of a trading strategy, long term investment and holding is more prioritized for someone who wants to have a successful investment in Bitcoin.
Yes you are right, trying to buy when the price of Bitcoin drops and waiting for the highest ATH is a trader's plan. A long term holder never plans like that, long term investors always try to buy Bitcoin in DCA method. If someone invests in DCA method on a weekly basis then he does not have to wait for the price to drop, because he will be able to buy Bitcoin at more or less average price. So if you have a long term plan then there is no need to focus on the market, always keep buying Bitcoin in DCA method.

Actually, both methods are still good and good ways to increase the amount of our bitcoin accumulation to achieve the expected profit, the only difference is in terms of how to execute it, buying when it goes down and waiting until the highest ATH is quite tempting but the problem is you need to learn more to know that it is the most appropriate price to buy and also you need a large enough capital to get maximum profit when one day the price reaches the highest ATH. While with the DCA method you don't need to think about those things, the point and key is to be consistent in increasing accumulation and you are also free to determine the time to increase your accumulation, if I prefer every 2 weeks with more or less the same amount, DCA really makes it easier for us small investors with limited insight and knowledge about the market.  Wink
Of course the most striking difference is the ability to buy. Some investors buy when the price drops which they think is the right time and buy in large quantities and hold it for the long term, but sometimes they also indirectly do DCA only at certain times because Bitcoin always gives them the opportunity to buy and buy it back when there is an opportunity and believe that long-term goals are the best choice to get big profits when reaching the desired target and buying once when the price drops will not be felt when seeing the potential of Bitcoin which is indeed extraordinary they will do it again like MicroStrategy and several other large companies that do not make purchases once when the price drops or even when it does not drop they do it. DCA is the best way for all investors, it's just that DCA is the best way and is the choice of many investors who have limited abilities but they can do it by buying periodically according to their abilities and buying it every week or every few weeks and also every month the amount of ownership will accumulate to be large in the long term without thinking or caring about market conditions and what they do is buy routinely and consistently to generate big profits in the long term.
