Question 1

What is dollar cost averaging (DCA) in crypto?

Accepted Answer

DCA is investing a fixed dollar amount at regular intervals regardless of price. For example, buying $100 of Bitcoin every week. This strategy reduces the impact of volatility by averaging your entry price over time.

Question 2

Is DCA better than lump sum investing?

Accepted Answer

Studies show lump sum investing outperforms DCA about 66% of the time in rising markets. However, DCA reduces downside risk and emotional stress. In crypto's volatile markets, DCA can significantly reduce your average entry during drawdowns.
