whether it's setting aside an emergency fund before buying BTC or saving for it at the same time as we buy BTC.
It's not a wise decision to set up your emergency funds of at least three months of your monthly income before starting your bitcoin investment because it will keep you waiting as a no coiner and you will miss out good opportunities in the market by stacking up fiat, instead of investing into bitcoin immediately your discretionary income is ready.
Emergency funds is to backup your bitcoin investment, so what are you setting it for when there is no bitcoin investment in the first place. The more that you are wasting time to buy bitcoin, the price is increasing and your days are drawing nearer to old age which is the main reason why you should set up your emergency funds along side with your bitcoin investment so that you can get the fuck out of the ball park waiting as a no coiner and become a low coiner.
If you split your discretionary income into two parts, you use on for your weekly DCA and the other to build up your emergency funds till its up to 3 months of your monthly income, you can then channel that money to set up your reserve funds and when that is done, you use the funds to add up to your DCA amount and invest aggressively.
