......If your income is irregular like a contractor, freelancer, or small business owner, you simply work with percentages. Every time money comes in, you carve out a set portion for your Bitcoin fund before anything else.
As long as the amount that you are carving out is within your discretionary income, then no problem, yet it is probably better to make sure that you are accounting for your basic expenses first, before you carve out your bitcoin amount.
Of course stacking Bitcoin is great, but it should never come at the expense of your essentials. Rent, food, bills, emergency savings must always come first, no question. If you have e got some discretionary income left over after covering the basics, then yeah, carve out a portion for BTC and stack away. That’s smart and sustainable.
The timing and amount might vary, but the principle stays the same, that is keep topping up your discretionary allocation whenever you have inflow. Whether it is from a salary, a one iff project payment, or a business profit, the habit of setting something aside is what makes DCA work over the long term.
Sure. There is an importance towards prioritizing the bitcoin DCA that surely helps for the amounts to really start to add up over the passage of time... especially if one might be ongoingly DCAing for 1 or 2 cycles, he is likely going to really start to see results, and surely at some various points along the way, the guy may have to assess his level of aggressiveness in terms of his ongoing bitcoin accumulation and determine if he wants to tweak his level upwards or downwards or not..
Yeah, I agree, sticking with DCA over a couple of cycles really does the heavy lifting. It’s funny how slow it feels at first, but then all of a sudden those little buys start looking pretty big when the price runs....Tweaking the pace depending on cash flow or how you feel about the market makes sense too. The main thing is just keeping the habit going so you are always building, whether it’s a big week or a small one.
Yes, it is true that if we can buy the dip, then we will have a chance to profit from it. After the dip comes, it gives us a chance to corner. However, I will advise everyone to try to buy the dip, because you can get it at any price. It is very important to know that it is difficult to buy the dip all the time. To buy it, you must try and place an order. You don't have to wait long after buying it, there is a chance to profit within two to three hours. You don't have to wait long to profit from it. I always try to buy the dip.
Bro, I get the hype around buying the dip. Everyone wants to catch that sweet bounce. But honestly, your strategy sounds way too simplistic and risky if you are not factoring in the bigger picture. Not every dip is a buy. Sometimes it's just the start of a deeper dump, and if you jump in too early, you end up holding a bag while the price keeps bleeding. You have got to know the difference between a healthy correction and a full blown trend reversal......Also, saying you can get it at any price is kinda reckless. Price matters, especially in crypto where volatility is wild. If Bitcoin drops from $70k to $60k, sure, that’s a dip, but if it’s dropping because of bad macro news, whale sell offs, or regulatory Fud, you might be buying into a trap. Context is everything. Blindly buying just because the price is lower doesn’t mean it’s a good entry.
Expecting profits within two to three hours is overly optimistic. That kind of thinking works for scalpers who live on the charts, but for most traders, it’s unrealistic. Sometimes the bounce comes fast, but other times you’re stuck in sideways chop or it keeps sliding. There are no guarantees in this game, and short term gains are never promised....What is really missing from your approach is risk management. No mention of stop losses, position sizing, or even checking volume and momentum indicators. Buying dips without a plan is how people get rekt. And saying i always buy the dip sounds like tunnel vision. The best traders know when to sit on their hands and wait for confirmation. Sometimes the smartest move is no move at all.
That said, one thing I do agree with is steady accumulation. Buying small amounts regularly, no matter what the price is, can be a solid long term strategy. It smooths out volatility and keeps you in the game without stressing over perfect timing. But even then, it works best when paired with patience and a clear goal.
