Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) is an investment strategy that is considered by many as a good and simple strategy, and widely in use by investors. It entails investing a given amount of money in a particular security for a given period of time regardless of price. Why most investors consider this strategy is a thing of curiosity.
You may want to know, it helps you develop self discipline (esp as a newbie) while considering the market and your tolerance to risk. Emotion can play a substantial trick in disadvantaging investment decisions. DCA can counter this impact.
Another good thing is that it lessens the impact of volatility as the total investment sum is spread over multiple purchases of the security. This strategy can be very effective if employed during bearish market.
Lastly, the strategy can be applied in any crypto investment, bonds, stocks or any commodities. It's a fine choice! However, you can always stick to what is best for you as an individual.
Yes, this is a great strategy, especially for bitcoin, which rises in price over time, and any long correction can be used by the investor as another chance to buy cheap coins, thereby lowering the cost basis of his investment.
I have also used this strategy in trading, although for some this may seem like an exotic solution. Although, over time, I realized that it is better to use averaging and lowering the entry point into an asset than to use a stop loss and take losses. In general, it is unreasonable to use stop losses in bitcoin, if you understand that the asset will grow anyway, you just need to wait. I understand that for short-term speculation, such a strategy may not be profitable, but if you use sufficient collateral, then the DCA strategy can be used even in margin scalping with a 5M timeframe for trading (yes, I didn’t mix anything up).
