We all agree that knowledge is power and that it gives us freedom from being enslaved to our past ignorant lifestyle and that there had been things we once took seriously in the past that looking at it now you can just beat your chaste and laugh at your level of ignorance.
True, the good thing is that information depreciates with time, fashion and technological advancements. Funny enough, the information you've today will be obsolete in the near future as there are tendencies that things will be done differently to match the future demands.
Most of us can relate to our parents doing weekly meetings during which they regularly deposit a set amount in a box and do it week by week until the end of the year when the money would be gathered and shared amongst them. To the best of there knowledge and due to what was predominant at the time, that was the best way to preserve there earnings for future purpose but from our current knowledge on bitcoin and what we've come to know about accumulating Bitcoin using the DCA methord, buying Bitcoin on a weekly bases would have been the best decision they should have taken but ignorant and lack of exposure would make them enslave thier funds in a box.
Your knowledge of bitcoin is incomplete if you use funds that you'll be needing in a short while to invest in the precious coin. Bitcoin investment is for a long term and isn't supposed to replace such contributions.
Those contributions aren't obsolete even as at now, our mothers then were wise enough to find a means of gathering funds in bits, these funds wouldn't have been gathered properly to solve the supposed needs if its in sight and there's this saying that out of sight is out of mind. So they gather it in bits until its enough for the solve bigger needs within the shortest periods necessary.
There are so many individuals at the moment that are still tied down to this system of enslaving their money all in the name of saving. All thanks to growth and knowledge that has liberated some of us.
Its not enslaving, its actually saving. I get your point of trying to promote bitcoin investment through DCA and other valid means, but you're missing a point here. Bitcoin investment isn't supposed to be a short term investment, you get good profits when you're able to hold for a much longer time. These pattern of savings you mentioned are for short terms and aren't related to proper bitcoin investment. You don't invest in bitcoin with funds you'll be needing in a short while.
