Why "Time in the Market" Beats "Timing the Market"
Crypto markets are notoriously volatile. Trying to buy the absolute bottom and sell the top is nearly impossible. DCA spreads your entry price over time, averaging out the highs and lows.
The Psychology of DCA
- Removes Emotion: You buy automatically, whether the market is fearful or greedy.
- Reduces Regret: You don't worry about "missing the boat" or "buying too high."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is DCA in Crypto?
Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is a strategy where you invest a fixed amount of money at regular intervals (e.g., weekly or monthly), regardless of the asset's price. This reduces the impact of volatility.
DCA vs Lump Sum?
Lump sum can yield higher returns if timed perfectly at the bottom. However, DCA lowers the risk of buying high/selling low and is psychologically easier to stick with.
