Quick lesson...
DCA is easy when prices are going up. The real test is when they drop.
Here is a real example: one investor put $25 into BTC every week for one year.
Total invested: $1,300.
Current value: $911.
ROI: -29.9%.
That is a 30% loss on paper. But here is what changed: they accumulated more BTC at lower prices than if they had bought all at once. Their average cost per coin is lower than the peak. They now hold a position that only needs a 43% price increase from today to break even. Without DCA, they might have bought at the top and needed a much higher bounce.
The point is not that DCA always wins. The point is that it removes the guesswork of timing. You show up every week. You buy when it feels good and when it feels bad. Over years, that consistency often beats trying to catch the bottom.
One year is a short window. Crypto cycles run longer.
Would you keep DCA'ing through a 30% loss or pause until the market looks better?
