Regular investment of small amounts turns into big savings in the future. I agree with you that consistency is more important than quantity. In this case, investing small amounts regularly through DCA maintains our long-term mindset. It is a safe, effective and proven strategy for both new and experienced investors. Consistency and patience are the keys to success, not the amount of investment.
You guys are laying too much emphasis on investing small amount per time forgetting that there are different approach to bitcoin investment. If I have $10,000 as my discretionary income to invest in bitcoin in a time like now that the market is making some corrections, why should I stress myself investing $500 regularly when all the money is meant for investment and I have good buying opportunities? So long as you have discretionary income and have set up emergency funds, you can use any method to enter the market since the goal is to hold for a long time. I will even feel comfortable buying bitcoin anytime I have the opportunity to that I will not be tempted to use the money for something else.
I'm not saying that the DCA method is bad, but when you have the opportunity to buy the dip and the money is there, an entry at discounted price is not a bad decision. You can even make such entry while still continuing your DCA method.
The reason why people are laying too much emphasis on investing small amount per time is because it is not every investor that has good discretionary income to accumulate bitcoin with a big amount at once, and for them not to be left out from bitcoin investment, they can invest small amount per time, and if they are consistent with their investment, they will build up a good quantity of bitcoin. If you have a source of income that gives you $10,000 as discretionary income after you have solved your monthly expenses, there's nothing wrong if you decide to accumulate Bitcoin with the $10,000 with a lump sum strategy because it will even help you to frontload your investment.
