This May Be the Final Year to DCA Your Way to One Bitcoin in a Decade
If you want to own a full bitcoin through dollar-cost averaging (DCA), 2025 may be your last realistic chance.

Holding Bitcoin according to the DCA method is very enjoyable, you can definitely see it if you enter this link. Because it is easy to earn one Bitcoin in a decade and the DCA method plays the most important role in making yourself financially independent.
The more you hold Bitcoin according to the DCA method, the longer your investment will be in the long term. Keeping Bitcoin aside for a decade and continuing to hold it is the most modern and plays a sure role in becoming financially independent.
I wasn't sure how to react to  this until I read the article myself, and after reading it I noticed that it actually made a lot of sense for people who want to a full bitcoin and not fractions of it taking into consideration tha fact that the price of bitcoin will keep appreciating with the coming years, so while DCA will still work to accumulate bitcoin, it will become difficult to own 1 bitcoin unless the amount of money invested weekly is increased to match the growth of bitcoin's price, for me this is good news, articles like this only shows how much more growth bitcoin is expected to make and that investors should keep investing if they want to be a part of bitcoin's future
It is true that Bitcoin will keep on growing as years goes by but that doesn't mean that  using a certain amount to be accumulating Bitcoin without increasing the amount will make an investor not to be able to get 1 Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a volatile asset and so the chance or tendency that the price will keep going up without a dipping and stayed in that position is not known or certain. Regardless of the amount someone is using to accumulate Bitcoin, with consistency they will surely acquire 1 or more Bitcoin in years time and it is not possible for an investor to stay through his years or time of accumulating Bitcoin without doubling or Invest aggressively when there will be a dip.
I did not say it was going to become impossible to buy 1 bitcoin, but with the coming years and judging with the track record bitcoin had set it will be much harder to buy one bitcoin in the future with the same amount used in DCA now, if it took 10 years to buy now it might take 15 years in the future so the only to keep at at 10 years would be to increase your weekly investment as was stated in the article.

Sure it is a matter of time and also a matter of quantity, including front loading.  A guy from 10 years ago could have bought $5 of bitcoin per week and invested $2,600 by now (over the past 10 years) and he would have accumulated more than 1 bitcoin.

From the article, the guy suggests $250 per week, yet I question if $250 per week would be enough to get to 1 BTC in 10 years.. and so if someone wants to assure to get to 1 bitcoin in 10 years, he probably needs to invest more than $250 per week.. perhaps more than $500 per week, and even that might not be enough.  $500 per week would get right around $26k per year, which would be $260k over 10 years. Such a guy with $500 per week might be able to get to 1 BTC in 10 years or less.  Perhaps?  I would not have a lot of confidence that $250 per week would get a person to that level, yet at the same time, surely people have to work with what they got rather than fantasizing about what they do not have, in terms of discretionary income that they are able to invest in bitcoin in a sufficiently aggressive way, yet at the same time, without overdoing it and wrecking themselves in the process of trying to reach such a goal of getting to 1 BTC in 10 years.
