People form emergency funds when they see that a bad situation will arise. Because in the present time, people do not want to expose their investments to any danger, so they give the most importance to prudent income and emergency funds and follow the DCA method every week. As a result of regular Bitcoin purchases, they are ready to earn more financially so that they can make more money with Bitcoin investments. An investor never neglects his investment, because Bitcoin investment is long-term, so it is most important to form an emergency fund to manage it.
Speaking of emergency funds, what's the best way to make sure I don't spend my Bitcoin prematurely?
My idea is to diversify my savings. I shouldn't invest all my money into Bitcoin. I can put some funds into other profitable investments that aren't as strictly a "hold" as BTC. If I use this strategy, I might not need a dedicated emergency fund because I'll have other readily available assets. This means I can use these other funds instead of touching my Bitcoin.
It's simple; the best way for you not to sell your Bitcoin investment too early is to invest in Bitcoin with your discretionary income, which is your leftover money after you have solved your weekly or monthly expenses, and after you have done that, you can start building your emergency funds gradually along your accumulation process should the case you have an emergency, you can easily solve the emergency without having to sell your Bitcoin investment too early to solve it. Since you are a no coiner or a low coiner, it's not appropriate for you to diverfy your Bitcoin investment at your early stage of your investment because it will serve as a distraction to you, and you won't accumulate a good quantity of Bitcoin, and it can eventually take you out of the game; you should be thinking of diversifying your investment when you have reached your over accumulation stage, but for now your focus should be on how you can accumulate Bitcoin consistently and persistently and gradually build your emergency funds so that you can accumulate a good quantity of Bitcoin and hold it for the long term.
From my own experience, the best protection against touching your Bitcoin too early is to make sure you’re only buying with money you can truly spare. I treat BTC as something I won’t touch for years, so bills, savings and an emergency fund come first. That way, when life happens, I’m not forced to sell at a loss.
Diversification can help later on, but at the early stage it often just slows down your stack. When I was starting out, I focused on building a small emergency fund on the side and at the same time stacking sats regularly with whatever was left over. Over time that gave me both peace of mind and a growing Bitcoin balance. Emergency fund is like building your safety net first, before accumulating BTC consistently with your discretionary income. Yea I know it’s slower but a lot less stressful, and you’ll thank yourself during market dips.
