DCA has proven to be better to use if we have planned a long-term investment in Bitcoin. If I choose a budget of 50,000 dollars, of course I will set it to buy every week as much as $126 per week and will spend 7 years buying regularly with 395 planned weeks. Such purchases will increase btc ownership more than buying at once because in 7 years we will buy bitcoin at any price.
that's just an example, but with the initial budget we will not feel burdened by our daily income if we have plotted it in general. But it can be adjusted to be more aggressive or faster and it only requires adjustments in the accumulation stage that is carried out.
If you can manage or allocate funds from the initial stage, of course our steps are only to execute routinely or directly set the automatic DCA on the exchange.
The advantage of DCA does not look at the price, up or down we still buy it and there is no worry about the decline because the decline is a better opportunity.
What you are comparing is Lump Sum vs DCA. To see which one is better we have to see historic prices of Bitcoin. I have done a little research on it previously and came up with conclusion that Lump Sum gives more profit over DCA in the long run. Of course for Lump Sum we need capital in hand which is not possible for everyone and those who don't have huge capital in hand can go for DCA.
Below is comparison of investing Lump Sum and DCA. If we start investing 126$ per week from Jan 24, 2018 to Jan 24, 2025 then after 7 seven years we have invested 46120$ and we have 3.39 Bitcoins in hand with
ROI of +681.64%On the other hand, investing 46.12k USD on 01/24/2018 would have given us 4.09 Bitcoin today with
ROI of +841.57%
