EDUCATION
Understanding Dollar-Cost Averaging
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is an investment strategy where you invest a fixed dollar amount at regular intervals, regardless of the asset's current price. When prices are low you buy more units, and when prices are high you buy fewer. Over time, this tends to result in a lower average cost per unit than trying to time the market.
DCA is particularly popular with Bitcoin investors because it removes the emotional pressure of timing volatile markets. By committing to a consistent schedule, you build your position gradually and reduce the risk of making a large purchase right before a significant price drop.
