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.
Yes, if a person has $1,000, he does not need to follow the DCA method, he can buy from the depths of the market if he wants. DCA will be a good method for those who will invest using the equivalent of $100 every week, but it will not be very effective for those who will buy from the depths. If I have a large amount of money at one time, then I will definitely reflect that when the market falls, and it goes down a lot, I will invest with all my money. If I can buy deep, it can show profits in a very short time, but if I use DCA every week with my money, it will not give much profit. So if you have cash, it is better not to practice the DCA method in investing, but it is better to buy when there is instability in the market.
I think that even if someone has $1000, they should invest in Bitcoin step by step. If I have $1000 and I invest all the money at once, then I will not have an investment at every level of Bitcoin's price and investing in Bitcoin will seem boring to me, but when I buy Bitcoin continuously from that $1000, my attraction to investment will increase, which will make it easier for me to maintain this continuity of investment later.
Although everyone can start investing, not everyone can plan properly and maintain their investment according to the plan, so after investing, we have to ensure that we can maintain our investment for a long time. Because if we buy Bitcoin and sell Bitcoin immediately or sell Bitcoin after a few months, then we will not get a good amount of profit from that investment, so we have to be patient and wait for a long time, only then we will get the desired results from the investment.
