If you're someone like me who's job is not the regular 9-5 but occasionally, I will continue to DCA monthly, weekly or daily as long as I get paid, since bitcoin is not yet going down instead for the next cycle it will keep upping them DCA is still a thing to me.
If I get bigger pay, I will lump sum and if I meet any dips while I have extra cash I will buy the dips, it's just best to use all of the strategies in accumulation.
That’s a smart and adaptable mindset. A lot of people get discouraged when their income isn’t consistent, but you have shown that discipline can still be maintained through flexible DCA. Whether it's weekly, monthly, or opportunistically, what matters is staying committed to the bigger picture.......
Your approach of combining DCA with lump sum investing and buying dips when possible is actually quite powerful. It shows you are not just throwing money at Bitcoin blindly, you are observing market conditions and using strategy. That's the kind of thinking that helps small paychecks grow into big portfolios over time.
Keep stacking with intention. The cycle rewards the consistent and the prepared. 👏💪
Thanks for you kind words, however I will add that if you're determined to have a thing, you device means of achieving such goal regardless of your paycheck, some people do not realise how small drops could form a might ocean hence the idea of buying consistently is only left for those who are 9-5 works as salaries are expected monthly. While in real sense whenever you get paid that's when you got to buy, it doesn't matter how the pay varies all you need is to stay in your course.
You are absolutely right, and I really like the way you highlighted the mindset aspect. Sticking to a goal doesn't always depend on how much you earn, but on how intentional and disciplined you are with whatever comes in. Many people wait for a perfect salary structure before they start, not realizing that it's the consistency and conviction, not the amount, that builds the stack over time.
Whether it is a 9–5, freelance gig, business hustle, or even irregular income, the moment money hits your hand is a signal to act. No amount is too small, and no timing is too odd. What matters is staying committed to the goal, adjusting as needed, and trusting the long term vision. The ocean wasn’t formed in a day but the drops never stopped coming.
I would say, right in this market, buying the dip would be better than DCA. Plus, DCA isn't exactly "buy whenever" thing, it's "dollar cost averaging" meaning if you bought high, you buy lower to average it down. So if you bought at 20, then you buy at 10, that way, you need just 50% increase to break even, and not a 100% one, that is how you move.
Right now the market is super high, and while I do agree that it will go up more, buying the dip is a better strategy for someone who can wait. Wait one more year, just save as much money as you humanly can, literally meaning like eat ramens and potatoes for a year level of misery for a whole year, and if you can do that, then next year, I guarantee you, the price will be MUCH lower, around the same time (2026 summer) and if you buy then, and wait for 2 years (2028 summer) you will have more money than you have ever seen.
Your perspective is valid and it is clear you are trying to time your entry for maximum gains, which can work for some. But I will say this, not everyone can confidently predict dips, and most who wait for that perfect entry often end up missing it entirely or second guessing when it finally comes. Bitcoin doesn’t usually give obvious entry points, it punishes hesitation just as much as it does recklessness.
DCA is not about buying randomly, it’s about building discipline and removing emotion from investing. Yes, buying lower averages your cost, but the beauty of DCA is it makes sure you are in the market, rather than watching from the sidelines hoping for a crash that may never come as deep as you expected.
Waiting for a deep dip and saving aggressively for a whole year might work if the dip plays out, but if the market runs instead, you could be left chasing higher prices with regrets..... That is why many still prefer a hybrid, DCA with dry powder on the side to buy dips. It’s a more balanced way to benefit from both approaches without betting the farm on timing the market........In the end, no strategy is perfect but the worst one is doing nothing while waiting for the stars to align.
