It should be noted that I am not saying that buying strategies are not important. However, I am saying that all buying strategies are the same (good) if the funds used to invest in bitcoin are discretionary income.
On the contrary not all buying strategy are good, you spoke of lump sum strategy and DCA accumulating strategy, but you never spoke of dip buying, and I can confidently say that those investors that focus only on dip buying aren't doing it the right way, because by waiting for the dip they are going to miss a whole lot of buying opportunities that may present itself in the market, so it's not a good strategy.
The best way to invest is to use either the DCA accumulating strategy or the lumps sum strategy, then if their is a dip in the market, you may decide to buy aggressively then, only if you have the reserve funds to do so, but waiting for the dip only as a strategy is a terrible way to invest in Bitcoin.
I agree with you because many investors didn't even have this in mind that, what if preventualy the dip doesn't happen or comes what should be the faith of those investors that are yet to buy aggressively all in the name of waiting for the happen, it is buying and accumulating your Bitcoin investments with DCA strategy, that always gives you the assurance of not losing all you invested on.

I do not agree with your conclusion about the DCA strategy of accumulating bitcoin saying that it always gives you the assurance of not losing all you invested on because generally if you talk about bitcoin investment, there’s always an excitement as we dream about winning, but we should also not forget that loses are possible. There’s always a certain risk associated with bitcoin investment and what I know that  the DCA strategy of accumulation helps an investor to lessen the severity of the risk of losing money in bitcoin as you are spreading out your purchases over time irrespective of the fluctuations in prices. Here, instead of investing with a huge sum all at once, you chose to invest little by little with a regular amount at intervals, with this you’re only trying to lessen the severity of the risk of losing and not to give you a full assurance of not losing.
