I would really love to hear what y’ll think about this, do you separate your funds like this? Have you ever made the mistake of using your emergency savings to invest in Bitcoin? Let us learn from each other. Drop your thoughts.

To sustain a Bitcoin investment, you definitely need both discretionary income and emergency funds. Because you are not following the Bitcoin investment DCA method for a short period of time, it is a long-term package that will protect your Bitcoin investment so that you do not face danger for a long time.
In daily life, dangers are surrounding people, so the emergency fund will guard your investment every moment. Because the more your income increases, the more Bitcoin you can collect according to the DCA method.


The truth is, nobody can really hold Bitcoin long term if they do not have their basics covered.. If you don’t have free cash to invest and some emergency savings on the side, life will always find a way to push you into selling your Bitcoin too early. That is why people who plan properly last longer in the game, they are not pressured to touch their BTC when small problems come up.

DCA only works well when you are not investing with shaky hands. If you know your rent, bills, and daily needs are sorted, then every bit of Bitcoin you buy becomes untouchable, and you can let it sit there for years. That is where the real magic happens.. As your income grows, you can increase your contributions and build a stronger position without feeling stressed. It is just about patience, planning, and protecting your future bag….
Yes long term investment is only possible when an investor is investing using his or her discretionary income. Making use money that is meant for our expenses or money that we may be needing soon to invest in bitcoin with the plan of holding for a long term it won't really be possible since we will be left with no other options but to option for sale whenever the need for the money invested arise. So the best way is to invest from our discretionary income, this is the only way we can be able to hold for a longer term while dcaing without being pressured to temper with our bitcoin.

In light of this it implies that no matter how small it can be provided that the intention is for long term plans it is important to be positive, consistence and with passage of time when put together will definitely make a reasonable amount, this is one thing most people forget by thinking that they must have a larger amount before they can start investment in Bitcoin, I alw found investing from discretionary income as a calculated risk since your basic needs has been taken care of before investing from the remaining money and without this it can be difficult to hold for long and that is where the treasure is.
