I try to keep 5 billion of DC at all times. Whenever I drop below 5, I stop leveling dragons until I get my reserves built back up. You never know when Island #13 will appear.....
Do the rest of you try to always keep a minimum amount of DC at all times? If so, how much?

It depends. Due to my levelling up (finally nearly lvl 70!) and events and dragon levelling, at different points in time it's been different. At one time my min was just 100 million, but recently I've just been rising and rising. I've also been hoarding gems, and have reached 1100 now after only having about 50 at any time previously...

My gems have gone to near zero. Three breeding grounds and twins seem to nickel and dime you to death to keep breeding going.
Next Goal: Twin Dragons 114 of 284 Twin Pedestals 65 of 284
Maintenance Mode: Crowned - 100% (+10 Elders) Pedestals - 100% Unless a new dragon, then catchup mode
My min was 4B, but I'm not sure the next island will be so cheap. I'm back up to 5.25B from my last post on June 9th where I went to near 0. I'm guessing I'll keep accumulating until I'm at 10, although as I near 8 I may go back to crowning. Not sure, the treats gifts have also brought my treats up from ~30M to 70M during that same time frame, and that was not without leveling dragons. I've mostly been growing cheap and almost ineffective crops like blushrooms and pumpermellons.
What is interesting is I had upgraded my treat farms to Huge treat farms. I found i never used the options for the Huge treat farm. I sold them and replaced them with the Large Treat Farms. Now, I only use Beanstalks and Pumpermellons. If I have 55 million over my 5 billion reserve, I get the Beanstalks. If it is under, I get the pumpermellons. First time a DV upgrade was not necessary and got rid of it.

Sitting around $5.8B, with 620M treats. Trying to build my DC buffer up a bit before I purchase the last two islands. All the while, trying to scrape together enough food to level all non-twin dragons to 19. Only 137M treats to go!
Then only another 1.5B treats to get everything from 19->20. Sigh.

Made it to 8 billion this a.m., So Since June 9th (say 3 1/2 months-ish) 8 bill. Should be up to 10 and done w/ all this miserliness by the end of the Halloween event

How funny. I was at 10 billion something yesterday, and I'm trying to go down to 7 billion by growing beanstalks, sarjin peppers and the 10 minute one whose name I've forgotten. I am currently working on a new goal involving treats. I only wanted 7 billion in the bank, but I hadn't been growing enough expensive treats so I have a bunch of extra DC. We'll see how long it takes to reach this new goal...
I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...

Was just about to 9 and blew 900M on treats, hovering at 8 while I level up my 10 elders (5 so far, light and dark will require switching out from the HC and leveling up what I've got to 15 so I get the shrines to animate, too). So, new plan, stick to 8 for a bit, then back towards the march to 10 lol!

Did you get mgmt approval for this expensive expenditure?

Funny thing about management - he'll be more upset that I didn't spend MORE gems going for Omen. But, mathematically, all the gems is all the gems and there aint no more. He gives me a wide birth for things like this, (and a slightly less wide birth for Omen) - especially when seeing the animation of the shrines. He and I will discuss tonight... he's more the type of leader who, after reading a magazine on an airplane, comes up with 'an amazing and grand new idea' than he is about the day to day operations
There's a caveat, of course - paths. Sometimes, it's just wrong and he's the only one who knows how to lay them correctly and which type to use
Oh, and Kairos - that's HIS and HIS ALONE to call and instigate the timey-wimey routine I ask permission most every time.

After the treat event ended, I started growing lots of dragon fruit to rebuild my billions. (I like to keep 7 billion and was down to 3, although I am now getting close to 7 again.) When this event started, I switched to pumpermelons for the iceberries. I decided to use my stockpiles to make a bunch of pumpermelon pies and fresh dragonade for my fellow club members. I also grew a special batch of zazzberries the other day so that I could make some zazzberry tarts just for you Buffy since you miss them so much. You can decide if you want to share or eat all of them yourself. I hope everyone enjoys the treats and that everyone had a Merry Christmas.

Hehhh hehhh, sorry folks, but I will save and eat them all. I am willing to share my dragons but not wapa's tarts and dragonade.
No one bakes or makes dragonade around here so when she goes in hibernation there is a sharp decline in treats.

OK - finished up the Winter Frostival event with 10B (my goal), 140,000-ish treats (ahead of goal) and a sparkling dragonarium!! This is after having gotten all 10 elder dragons and a stop over for huge eating during the Om-Nom event where I really stocked up on treats.
Happy New Year!

My DC is back up over 4B again after spending a ton to get all 10 elders. My treats are well over 20 million now. Glad this last event helped me stock up!

I had my DC up to 8.2B....then island #14 arrived. Back down to 2.2B and we start working it back up. I do have 440M treats so I should be able to bank some money for awhile.

Alas, I must leave you all for a while... I was keeping a reserve of 2-3B, but I bought the 6B island this morning and went down to 36M.
