I would not consider holding aside money to buy on the dip to be a variant to DCA, even though buying on dips could be a way to supplement DCA.

Buying on dips is not a variant of DCA because it is different. It does not guarantee buying right away and as soon as you have money, but instead it conditions the buys for if the price dips.

Buying on the dip may or may not happen, since in order for buying on dip to take place the BTC price has to go down to the targeted price level in order for the buy(s) to execute. If the BTC price does not go down enough to reach the targeted amount(s), then the buy(s) do not execute.

DCA can be designed to buy as soon as you have money coming in, and it is not conditioned on price changes.

Waiting for dips is like doing technical analysis and wait for good time and price for entries. It's very different and opposite with core purposes of Dollar Cost Averaging strategy: To eliminate all technical analysis; to get rid of emotional and psychological effects on timing the market, finding good or best price for entry.

You can still buy dips without necessarily waiting, I believe DCA and dip buying can co-exist without stopping your regular buys. You can always share your DCA amount into 5 parts and maintain your consistency with 4 parts and continue saving the 1 party consistently until your desired dip surfaces and you lump sum on the dip with already accumulated funds for it and if the desired dip doesn't come by, you buy up with the saved funds or use it to increase your aggressiveness for a while.

Always not a good idea if they think that way. Knowing that the market is unpredictable so for sure that those people cannot able to track on when those dips would really happen.

They don't need to track anything, simply setting buy orders in exchanges can help them keep track of it and execute when the price cuts across such price.

They are wasting their time for waiting for that what they called perfect timing they think and most provably that they are just slowing down their accumulation then provably doing that thing is unsustainable especially if they see something scary scenario on market that can possibly affect their decision to buy some Bitcoins.

I'd choose not to take any technical situations since for me buying Bitcoin directly at whatever price show up is ideal especially if you are doing DCA with Bitcoin.

You're missing the point here and I'm doubting that you really read the write-up you quoted. There was no indication of stopping your consistent DCA buys in it, instead the suggestion there was to invest 4/5 of your buy amounts and save up 1/5 separately for buying the dip when they occur and if they don't, put the saved funds back to work by using it to increase your aggressiveness in buying Bitcoin for as long as it can last
