Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is a strategy where an investor invests a total sum of money in small increments over time instead of all at once. For example, if your yearly goal is to invest $1,500 into Bitcoin, you would contribute around $125 a month throughout the year.
The goal is to take advantage of market downturns without risking too much capital at any given time. It is a good strategy for investors with lower risk tolerance since putting a lump sum of money into the market all at once can run the risk of buying at a peak, which can be unsettling if prices fall.
