My tentative recommendation would be to keep accumulating bitcoin until maybe the timeline for starting to withdraw from your bitcoin stash is less than 4 years from that time that you stop accumulating, which largely means no bitcoin sales (except spend and replace) until reaching overaccumulation status and if you feel like not continuing to accumulate then you could stop up to 4 years prior to your starting to withdraw, even though you could still be advantaged by continuing to accumulate.
Since the possibility of accumulating more even when one might want to stop and and hold for 4 years prior when he or she stop accumulating it’s very much likely that one with such a discipline of accumulating to such an extent would probably not stop accumulating even when they might have the feeling of reaching an overaccumulation stage hence it’s most likely to be seen in the actions of calibers in the WO from my observations however after 4 years of consistent accumulation will probably see myself in the WO being able to sustain the DCA over the years.
If you were to have 4 years of consistent accumulation, then the coins that you bought at the beginning of such accumulation would be reaching their 4 year minimum status, yet the coins that you bought in the last 1-2 years would still haver 2-3 years more that they needed to mature in order to have an age of at least 4 years of HODLing status.
I know many guys do not think about their later purchased coins causing them a need to HODL for at least 4 years, and they might be having difficulties getting out of a trading rather than an investing mentality... If any of us are considering ourselves as investors we need to have intentions to hold for 4 years for any coin that we buy.
Of course, some thing could come up that causes us to need to break our investment and to put it into a trade, meaning that we sell before 4 years, yet it seems to me that an investor is not coming to bitcoin with a HODL period of anything less than a 4 year intention, and more likely their intention would be to HODL 10 years or more, absent some age and/or health concerns that would contribute to their entertaining timeline ideas of less then 10 years but at least 4 years.
You are free to think about your bitcoin differently from me, yet I consider 4-10 years or longer to really be the way each new BTC purchase should be considered in order to maintain an investment perspective.
Of course if a person had already been in bitcoin for more than 2 cycles, he may well not be buying as much BTC as he had done historically, unless he had been in a position in which he could not buy bitcoin.. so yeah, there are possibilities that guys might invest in bitcoin for many years in relatively whimpy ways, and really ONLY be able to increase their level of aggressiveness at later points in their lives, which may well be the case for young people who might not have much of an income and who also might be ongoingly taking on expenses that relate to their training and/or their education while they are in their teens and/or 20s..
I find your perspective on investing in Bitcoin with a long term hold strategy to be very much agreeable and spot on. When investors approach Bitcoin investment with a long term perspective, this significantly impacts their mindset as well as their strategy, as they're automatically placed in a better position to choose a much better plan and strategy that'll help them effectively navigate through the complexities of investing in Bitcoin and also avoid much distractions and overreactions due to the short term reactions of the market, as they can potentially ride out these short term market fluctuations and also avoid making impulsive decisions.
When investors develop and maintain a long term approach, their focus automatically shifts from seeking for short term gains to the potentials for Bitcoin's value to grow and increase in the long term. And very importantly, individuals should also at all times consider their unique financial situations, their investment goals, as well as their risk tolerance level as these would help them choose a more suitable investment strategy that'll align with their set goals. And for younger investors, or those investors that have a limited income, it'll be more feasible for them to start investing with a small amount with a flexible strategy, and then with time, gradually increase their investment amount as their income increases. This is a great way to build a more stable foundation for long term investment.
