Yes.. Sure. I have largely been proclaiming that it is up to each one of us to determine how aggressive or whimpy that we want to be within our budget, and even within an attempt to follow a more straight-forward DCA'ing approach guys are able to figure out their level of aggressiveness within such DCAing approach.

So there could be situations to compare guys who largely have similar levels of discretionary income.. let's say $200 per week.

1) a guy might choose to invest fairly aggressively and consistently at $180 per week (90%) into BTC.

2) a second guy might choose to invest fairly whimpily and consistently at $20 per week (10%) into BTC.

3) a third guy might choose to vary his investment between whimpy and aggressive , so maybe minimally he is investing $20 per week no matter what, but some weeks he might invest up to $180 into bitcoin depending on other things going on in his life.

These allocation styles are somewhat personal choices, and they may relate to other kinds of things going on in their lives.. and perhaps even how much they prioritize bitcoin over the other things going on in their lives. Each of these guys are likely going to do better 10 years down the road as compared with the guy who did not accumulate any bitcoin.

Not waiting for the dip or not investing is the biggest risk. Small investments in a consistent manner can give us real results at some point. Fall is in everything, so the most important thing for the newbie is to start now and invest regularly without stopping it in this mindset. Excessive caution will often become an additional risk. Small investments at a time, keeping up with time, risk-taking mentality, and being patient for the right time can bring success. It is impossible to determine the right time for the market. If we dip in the form of DCA, we can get our assets as real assets in the future.

It seems like you wanted to say that waiting for the dip and not investing is the biggest risk, and honestly speaking you are right, because by waiting you may miss a whole lot of buying opportunities which at the end, if care is not taken, you might not even buy it, so waiting for a dip before making a purchase is never a good idea.
I feel like we are very lucky to be in the era when Bitcoin is still pretty cheap, because in years to come, the current value of Bitcoin might be a bargain.

It will be dangerous advice to tell a newbie to just invest anytime or not have a clear understanding before jumping into a dip or to even tell them not to wait for a dip. When you're giving advices like this, you must also give a caveat which states that an individual must go into any form of investment with full knowledge and a personal strategic plan towards success. You don't just jump into an investment because you're waiting for it to dip, when it is till going to get dipper and you probably losing your funds. You also don't go into an investment because it's rising without analyzing the market. The ultimate goal here is to pay attention to your preferred assets in the market, analyse properly and patently, then don't hesitate to immediately jump into the investment once you're convinced with your personal strategy.

I posted an op post yesterday on the Bitcoin board where an investor was feeling regretful for not investing in Bitcoin when he had the chance,The regret of early Investors or the regret you get for procrastinating so not investing or taking action when we should, comes with the biggest regret, than the ones we took.

About the thread you attached here. Procrastination was what killed the spirit of the potential investor in the screenshot by not taking taking the right decision and allowing the coin to elevate without investing a dime. It could also suggest the guy didn't have enough experience and knowledge of what the future of thecoin holds at the time. It happens to many people and you have the case of those who also said, how we wish, we would have invested more but those are incidents that happen among people who are not so sure of their investments and do not have the confidence to enter investments as a result

I also want to talk about those who fall for what we call the false signals. Those who engage in FOMO. Those who invest because their friends are investing and do not want to miss out and many more including people who invest in buying every tiny green candle because theythink its another bull run and may be their last chance. These set of people invest too quickly once they see bitcoin rising even in the smallest bounce and are victims of failed investments especially related to those who fall for market manipulations by bigger investors.

My advice instead is invest in the asset you know and have studied carefully. Adopt the DCA strategy of investing small amount of money consistently like on weekly or monthly basis. this will enable you to buy when the price of your assets are low as well as when the prices are high allowing you to leverage an average out of a good or fair price. This makes it easier and stress free for you as you don't have to deal with the anxiety of the market speculation over time.
