I personally think that if any of us are able to establish how much income we are going to need per year in order to maintain our lifestyle, then that is a good way of measuring if we have enough or more than enough BTC.... which will help us with our transition from accumulation stage to maintenance stage and then to sustainable withdrawal stage.
Perhaps to an extent I would also want to see a good number of us here figure out how much we want to keep accumulating in order to reach the over accumulation phase however, with a good amount one can and/or would be able to reach such goal before and/or after 3 cycles hence, perhaps most of us here excluding you and few others, have not been able to stay accumulating for 2 cycles judging from our registration dates yet in due time and if consistent enough sooner or later some of use would be reach that stage of sustainable withdrawal yet not me either as perhaps I would still have to keep accumulating.
Yep. Unless guys say differently, we might need to use their forum registration as a way to approximately guess when they might have had gotten involved in bitcoin.
Also, it seems that with the passage of time, the slope of the BTC price appreciation curve is becoming less steep too, yet still bitcoin still seems to be amongst the best of risk/reward bets that any normal person could make, and so it still helps to concentrate on accumulating bitcoin, and surely even fairly aggressive investors might need to take 2 to 3 or even more time to really build up their bitcoin stash and other aspects of their cash flow management.
There are also some guys who are fairly young, and they likely might not be in a position to go straight into working and earning and income, and they might well want to consider the extent to which they might want to invest in college and/or their own self training and getting experiences that may or may not distract from their abilities to either continue to invest into bitcoin or to be able to continue to hold onto their stash without overly depleting it. Sometimes certain training can help their income so that they can continue to either hold their bitcoin or to accumulate more bitcoin until whether either time passes and/or they build up their stash more.
I disagree with you mate, you don't need or have to get an additional source of income before you can be aggressive in your investment, aggressiveness is a function of how big your discretionary is or aggressiveness is as a result of strong discretionary income. Remember when you are Investing aggressively you don't need to touch any other funds than your discretionary and anything that makes you touch other funds is a wrong thing or wrong approach because it's only our discretionary that is meant to be touched while we carry out Bitcoin investment whether aggressive or not. All an investor need to do before investing aggressively is to build up a good and huge discretionary and everything is settled.
With same investment capital, you can invest gradually or aggressively, it's my thinking, that means I disagree with you.
Investment aggressively or not, it does not require to have extra (additional) source of income or investment capital. It's only matter that whether you want to DCA gradually or want to purchase bitcoins aggressively. Assuming with same investment capital as $1,000, you can gradually DCA in 10 months or your can purchase bitcoins more aggressively in 5 months or 3 months or 2 months.
Of course with DCA strategy, it's always better if you can have regular investment purchases and can have new investment capital with time rather than 100% rely on your investment capital at beginning and plan how to use it with time. Like you can start with $1,000 investment capital, plan to use it for purchasing bitcoins in 10 months, but it's better if with time, each month you can save part of your income and have like $50 or $100 more new investment capital. That will sum up your investment capital to bigger than $1,000 with months.
If a person has lump sum available, such as $1k to get started, and maybe he has an income in which he can buy $100 per week in bitcoin, then with the extra $1k, he does not need to invest through DCA, he could buy right away and/or he could buy at the dip (if the dip happens), so he has choices of the three different styles, and DCA is not always better if you already have a lump sum of cash come available to you. One of the reasons that so many people use DCA is because it is much easier to tailor some kind of a buying amount that goes along with their regular income coming in and their expenses, and so DCA also will allow an adjustment every week or whatever period that a person chooses to buy bitcoin under that kind of an approach/practice.
