If your capital is only $200 and you think that you have no other capital than this $200 that you will invest in Bitcoin, then you do not need to invest in Bitcoin.
Rather, you can buy Bitcoin with your ability every week or month. By doing this, you will see that your Bitcoin portfolio has become very long, which will provide you with financial security later.
Now, in order to achieve the desired profit from Bitcoin, you will have to invest on a weekly/monthly/annual basis.
Not all people have so much money that they can buy many Bitcoins at once and hold them for a long time, but if people buy Bitcoin from the income they earn every day, even if it is a small amount, then in time they will see that they have a good amount of sales.
Therefore, you should invest in the DCA method.
I think Bd officer was just giving an instance of an investor already having a $200 worth of investment then banking on a sudden profit within a short period of time, it then means that person is not an investor but a trader, an investor should be long term minded, He also was emphasize the need not to panic hence there is market fluctuation. However your assertion with the DCA method is nearly contrary to the context with which he was emphasizing on, this is not to say what your saying is wrong but it's quiet contrary to what Bd officer is talking about.
Yes, I also understand that he used $200 as an example. I also wanted to point out that not everyone has that kind of accumulated capital (even $200 or more), so those who want to invest in Bitcoin with their accumulated money and profit from it are not doing well.
I wanted to point out that instead of saving $200 or $2,000 and buying Bitcoin, it would be profitable for him if he directly invested $200 or $2,000 in Bitcoin.
For example, suppose an investor invested $2,000 in total but it took him five months to accumulate $2,000. He accumulated fiat currency in these five months, but if he had invested the same amount of dollars in Bitcoin in the month in which he accumulated them during those five months, he could have been more profitable than he is now.
Yes, I agree with the BD officer, I wanted to explain what he said.
Bluedrem It’s difficult to understand what you’re trying to explain, you have to try to make your points simpler and clearer. Your example was intended to explain your point further but because of the words you chose to use, makes it unclear and hard to follow.
From what I gather or what I think your intention is; you’re saying instead of an investor to wait to gather or save a lump sum to invest it’s better to DCA and invest regularly such as weekly. If that’s what you mean, you’re absolutely right.
There’s no need waiting, if you have discretionary funds available you should do well to invest now(which is the best time or second best time to invest) instead of waiting for later to buy lump sum, the time you spent in waiting is time wasted in which you could have potentially accumulated more.
