DCA calculators do not tell you how much you will make in the future. They ONLY show past performance, which that does not mean that you would profit in the future.
I think that it is it better to figure out your own formula in terms of investing as much as you feel comfortable, while realizing that you might not gain any money and you also might lose all of it.
For beginners going into bitcoin, you should at least consider the below 9 factors:. .and DCA with small amounts while you are learning is also o.k. in order that you can determine if you would like to become more aggressive, and at the same time it is important to get started sooner rather than later in order that you can get some kind of a start and even getting set up with how you are going to source your buys can take a bit of time to figure out and maybe to adapt along the way, too.
This is very much correct that DCA calculators does not give idea of how Bitcoin will behave in the future. But to learn the real essence of DCA for long term there is no better tool then DCA calculator. They give you idea of what benefit Bitcoin gave to people who keep investing in Bitcoin continuously over a period of time. You can give different parameters to these calculators and see the results.
Once you have data from past then it can help you in making your own formula for future investment.
If you are new then start with small amount and one can increase it once he get to know about how the market behave. Anyone new to crypto market won't immediately understand about benefits of DCA, LUMP SUM and on Dips unless he start investing with his own money. Apart from these 9 points, there are few Hypo's that can also guide you about your position if you are long term investor into Bitcoin.
The point is we don't know what will happen in future but we can figure out our way forward by studying the historical data available.
