So I think those who really want to invest in Bitcoin and create a security for their lives for the future should follow DCA and invest for the long term. I myself also thought that if there is a dip should buy more Bitcoin. But actually I was wrong then. Those who want to get real profit from Bitcoin should invest without thinking about the price being high or low. We who lead a middle class or upper middle class life. Those who have 20% to 30% discretionary income from regular income. It is not possible to buy much more Bitcoin from this little amount of money. For ordinary people like us, following DCA is the best way to secure our future.

Let's agree to disagree, regardless of whether your strategy of choice is DCA, buying the DIP, lump sum or any other strategy of your choice, the primary determinant of your investment is your discretionary income, let's say an investor is DCAing on a weekly basis and the investor is a salary earning who gets paid weekly too, and coincidentally he receives a bonus one week and there is a price dip that same week, the bonus income would have increased his discretionary income by a significant percentage meaning that on this particular week with a bitcoin price dip this investor has more discretionary income to buy bitcoin, there is absolutely nothing wrong if this investor decides to buy more than he usually does this time around and if he buys then he would have done so through DCA, buying the DIP and lump sum purchase at the same time since the purchase was done on a regular interval, during a dip and with more money then usual.
For me a situation like this works as a win and should be taken advantage of because at the end of the day the whole investment would have still been done with the investor's discretionary funds with no harm done to his usual way of life.

You are absolutely correct, scanerio like this can occur or happen but in as much as we are being positive we should also consider the negative aspect of things, for something to be in equilibrium both factor or condition have to be consider. Now what if after getting or receiving the bonus from your place of work, don't you think sometimes challenges or needs can arise at same time? And these challenges and needs are the reason why some investors don't double up even when they receive bonus and there is Dip. Considering both factor will help an investor or business person stand firm because they expecting anything ( positive or negative).

Exactly, not all of the bonus will go into discretionary income, that's why I said 'a significant percentage' so you don't use your entire bonus to invest in bitcoin since it would also help in easing some other responsibilities you might have, but the presense of a bonus will most likely increase your discretionary income which will also lead to you having more money to invest in bitcoin with
Plus this is also why emergency funds exist in the first place, to take care of emergency situations that might arise along the way in order to make sure an investor doesn't sell too early.
So you use a part of the bonus to increase your investment and use the rest for cater for your other needs, you were given the bonus for a reason after all, it might be a Christmas bonus or it could be for some other reason but at the end of the day a bonus means an increase in that week's income which can also mean an increase in that week's discretionary income as well.
