Some people need to balance growth with safety..... Taking a bit of profit during key moments is not necessarily weakness, it is strategy. What matters most is staying in the game and not getting shaken out entirely. For some, small profit taking is what keeps them sane and committed for the long haul......
Since everyone doesn't have the same financial flexibility is the main reason why you should figure out how much from your discretionary income that you will use to DCA weekly/monthly that you can afford to lose. So that, you don't give a fuck about touching your bitcoin or think of selling part of it when you have reach your bitcoin target.
If you are plan to buy and hodli for long term and you take little profits gradually when you're still in your accumulation phase, you are acting like a trader and that will make you lose focus on only accumulating without selling. This will slow down your bitcoin journey and you might only be able to accumulate little bitcoin in the long run, because you are selling. You finally turn into a trader. Don't invest more than your financial capacity from your discretionary income to.
I completely agree with you. The longer you can invest in Bitcoin, the more profit you can make. You should set a target for at least 4 to 10 years and invest an amount that comes from your discretionary income by following the DCA method regularly. Now the thing is maximum people are hoping to get rich very quickly. That's why they stay away from what actual profit they could make . One thing should always be understood Bitcoin is for investors, not for traders. Bitcoin is for those who want to invest for the long term, for the safety of their lives, for the safety of their assets. Because the profit that can be obtained by investing in Bitcoin is not possible by investing in any other place .Bitcoin has proven this time and again.
There is another type of people who buy when the price is at a DIP but that is for a long timer. For them, I want to say if the price goes down, it is okay to buy and hold. But if you can follow the DCA method and invest regularly, then the mental instability will be ok even the price going up and down. But you can do one thing if your discretionary income is $50, spend $40 of it regularly to buy Bitcoin and keep the remaining $10 as funding. When according to your mentality or thinking, it seems that the BTC value dip is now , then invest that saved fund in BTC. Although it is better to invest in full discretionary income. I always prefer that.
