Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)
An investment strategy where you buy a fixed dollar amount of crypto at regular intervals.
Explained Simply
Dollar-cost averaging means investing the same amount on a regular schedule regardless of price — for example, $100 in Bitcoin every week. This removes the stress of trying to time the market. When prices are high, you buy less crypto; when prices are low, you buy more. Over time, this smooths your average purchase price. Many exchanges offer automatic recurring purchases for DCA.
Example
Investing $200 per month in Bitcoin over 5 years, regardless of price, is a DCA strategy.
