I DCA'd $25 into Bitcoin every week for 1 year. Total invested: $1,300. Current value: $1,041. That is a -19.9% loss.
Most people would call this a failure. I call it a discount.
Here is the math. 52 purchases at different prices. Some at peaks. Some at lows. The average cost sits above the current price. That is painful. But I did not buy to sell in 12 months. I bought to own Bitcoin over years. The same $25 weekly over the next 12 months buys 20% more BTC at these prices. That flips the math.
DCA success stories often cherry-pick bull runs. The real test is a bearish year. You either panic stop or you accumulate harder. Every down week lowers your average. Every dip becomes a gift for future you.
The insight: DCA works best when it looks worst. Nobody posts screenshots of a -19.9% ROI for clout. But that is exactly when the next +50% leg is being built.
So would you keep dropping $25 every week into a red chart or would you hit pause after a year like this?
