Spoke with someone who started a daily DCA into bitcoin recently.

"I was sitting there waiting for the right time to get in. Looking for a dip or an influx of cash to make a sizable buy and eventually I looked up and six moths went by. So I decided to just start buying a little every day."

This is the right mentality. Get off zero.

Too many people wait for an "opportune time" to get into bitcoin and miss out on massive runs. Bitcoin is a game of "time in the market" not "timing the market". If you miss the best 10-15 days of bitcoin performance in a year you'll miss out on most of the purchasing power increases.

Do you think there was an "opportune time" to adopt the internet when it came out?

Was there a "best" time to adopt gun powder when it hit the market?

Did you have an advantage if you waited a few cycles to take advantage of electricity?

No. In every case, the most opportune time to adopt these technologies was "as soon as humanly possible".

Bitcoin is no different. The best time to adopt better money is as soon as possible.

Discussion

It doesn't matter when you buy because it will go up.

I just talked to a friend, this week, who said, ‘things are crazy right now. Maybe I should drop $10k into bitcoin?’

‘Maybe you should start by dropping $10-$20 a day.’

I kindly didn’t remind him we’ve had this discussion at least 12 times since he got me into ‘crypto’ (been clean around 3 years) in 2020.

Great RHR this week, btw, nostr:nprofile1qqsywt6ypu57lxtwj2scdwxnyrl3sry9typcstje65x7rw9a2e5nq8spramhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmndv9uxjmtpd35hxarn9ehkumrfdejsz9rhwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2asp5v6s8

Hah, I love the "been clean around 3 years". Anyway, at some point you must forgive your friend and get him clean too...

(By the way, when I saw the name Ryan Reynolds, I thought to myself that the Deadpool dude is talking about Bitcoin on Nostr.)

Ha ha! I do get that a lot, but unfortunately just a boring sales guy in the midwest.

He is one of the only ones I still try on. He is a banker, has tons of money, and other than his small XRP/XLM stack is a 100% tradfi type.

it was only 3 times I went off my weekly DCA in favor of one big purchase for the rest of the month, it was 3 mistakes

I like the electricity comparison. Get lit or HFSP

"I was sitting there waiting for the right time to read mandibles. Looking for some free time or motivation to make a sizable commitment to read and eventually I looked up and 9 years went by. So I decided to just start reading a little every day."

we should stop bullying him so he uses nostr more

The other mentality I see is people say it's "too late" because they believe the 10x or 100x gains are a thing of the past. Many will dispute this of course, but even assuming this is true what the hell is wrong with 2x or 3x over the course of a handful of years?

I’m thinking DCA must be the way. Timing buys continues to fuck with my head. I’ve bought at all levels for years but still find myself holding out for lower levels and feeling regret when i don’t buy or buy more. I’ve had a lump sum that I’ve been waiting to deploy and missed the boat when it dipped in the 70’s. Buying tops is no fun tho either. I don’t trade, I hodl, so my long term thinking tends to be stack as many sats as I can but if we’re mid cycle than maybe I’m better off waiting till the next bottom. See? Fucks with my head😁

Smash buy > DCA

So accurate! This was me at first until I finally just said fuck it and started a daily DCA into BTC.

Love hearing the stories of everyday people beginning their stack.

My business DCAs and is building a treasury based on what you and Odell say about every business should stack as much sats as possible.

Stack cash flows via our operating business. Feels good.

Timing is very hard. There are some friends of mine with sophisticated technical expertise, who can do the right analysis to figure out better times to buy or sell vs others

But on the whole, I totally agree, it's all about "get-off-zero", indeed, the worst allocation to have is no exposure to Bitcoin at all

DCA is very suitable for many people

What I especially like, is people who've been wage earners, and done this consistently for 5 years, and are now making big decisions to quit their jobs, or take a sabbatical

Ie there is now plenty of real world proof that a steady DCA is an incredible tool for future financial freedom

Truth bomb right here 🧡

This reminds me of the Scripture, "Behold, now is the accepted time, behold now is the day with of salvation."

DCA is the way to go—stack those sats consistently and stop trying to outsmart the market. Bitcoin doesn’t care about your perfect entry point; it rewards those who show up and stay in the game. The “time in the market” point is spot-on—missing those key days can tank your gains, and history shows it’s the HODLers who win big. Comparing it to the internet, gunpowder, or electricity is chef’s kiss! The sooner you’re in, the sooner you’re riding the wave of a paradigm shift. Bitcoin’s the hardest money ever—get in early, stack relentlessly, and let the fiat clowns keep waiting for their “dip.”

Early gunpowder experimenters sometimes died in accidents, and pioneers of now-obsolete tech like Betamax, HD-DVD, and LaserDisc backed the wrong horse, too.

That said, on Bitcoin you're right. Don't time the market.

You just gotta be careful.

The best moment was yesterday. If you missed it, it's today! Bitcoin price ~~> 0.1 M
