According to your suggestion, you're implying that it's way more better to invest in Bitcoin, even if it's actually whimpily or sluggishly done, than not investing at all, and I find this to be very true and agreeable. You know, there are a lot of investors or should I say those who plan to invest, but they've not been able to make any step towards getting started, maybe because their idea of Bitcoin accumulation is being aggressive, so they can reach their long term goals faster, and since they currently do not have the resources to invest in that pace,
I would think in the majority of cases it is not good to start out investing into bitcoin aggressively unless you already have a lot of investing experience and/or you are a fast learner when it comes to what would be a good approach to quickly getting a decently large position in bitcoin.
Most people are better off to hold back a bit in the very beginning and put some kind of a reasonable bitcoin accumulation plan into practice, so for example, a guy with $100k investment portfolio might want to get his bitcoin allocation to 15%, which would be $15k, so maybe he decides to invest around $1k per week for the next 15 weeks (3.5 months), and then to reassess at that time. There are other ways to exercise some conservativism in the beginning and surely a lot of folks might not be sure about what is their total budget and/or their discretionary income, so a guy who pretty much knows that he could invest $100 per week without having any problems, he might purposefully decide to start out at $30 per week while he is assessing the situation and then when he becomes more comfortable, he might increase his weekly investment amounts... maybe after a few weeks of studying the matter.
Your perspective is absolutely spot on. Getting started with Bitcoin accumulation aggressively isn't quite a great idea, except of course the investor involved is quick learner and is able to understand and quickly grab the basic rules and concepts of investing in Bitcoin after getting started and as they proceed. More people who come into Bitcoin are way more better getting started with a more measured approach, just like having to set a preferable accumulation plan. I like your example of the guy with a $100k portfolio and was aiming for a 15% Bitcoin allocation and investing $1k at a weekly interval for 15 weeks, I feel this is a very solid strategy because by sticking to this accumulation plan, he'll get the plan to access the market and also be able to adjust his strategy or plan if/when needed and/or necessary.
I also love the fact that you mentioned starting small and then gradually increasing your investment amount overtime. If a guy knows for sure that he can comfortably invest $100 every week without having a issues or being financially strained, then getting started with $30 per week to get comfortable and then gradually stepping up the investment amount makes a lot of sense. In the long run, it's just all about finding a balance and a plan that works for you and aligns perfectly with your own unique financial situation. It's one thing to have a plan and another to stick to those plans, but if you're able to develop a solid plan and also stick to those plans, especially in beginning of your accumulation journey, it'll definitely help you build some level of confidence and potentially reduce your chances of making impulsive decisions. And yeah, the key to determining and choosing how much you can realistically invest in Bitcoin without having to put yourself in touch position still remains figuring out your personal budget and of course your discretionary income, having a solid plan and also being disciplined enough to stick to those plans.
