The biggest feature of the cryptocurrency market is its extreme volatility or constant huge price fluctuations. The price of a coin that has reached the sky today may fall to the ground tomorrow. The biggest challenge for ordinary and new investors in this market is 'market timing' or determining the exact time when you will make the most profit by buying coins. To avoid this mental stress and the risk of losing money by investing a large sum of money at the wrong time (lump-sum), a very popular and tested strategy is used worldwide, which is called Dollar-Cost Averaging or DCA strategy for short. In simple terms, DCA is an investment method where, without worrying about the current market price, a certain amount of money is invested in a good cryptocurrency regularly at a certain time. This specific time can be once a week, once a month or every 15 days. For example, if you have a lump sum of 120,000 taka, instead of buying Bitcoin all at once today, you can buy 10,000 taka every month for the next year. When the market is very high, you will buy a small amount of Bitcoin for 10,000 taka; again, when the price drops very low in a bear market, you will get a lot of Bitcoin for the same 10,000 taka. In the long run, the combination of these two makes your average purchase price or average cost of coins a great and profitable position. The biggest advantage of the DCA strategy is that it completely removes 'emotion' and 'fear' from the mind of the investor. When there is a big fall in the crypto market, the common man stops buying coins in panic or sells them at a loss. But a DCA practitioner knows that a fall means a great opportunity for him to accumulate more coins at a discount or at a lower price. This eliminates the need to look at charts every day, do technical analysis, or lose sleep over the market’s ups and downs. It’s essentially a ‘set and forget’ strategy, which can now be enabled automatically on many exchanges through automatic investment or recurring buy options. In short, the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy is the tortoise-like principle of the crypto world, which in the long run delivers much higher and safer returns than overzealous traders who run like rabbits. For those looking to build a large fund or portfolio for three to five years in a powerful blue-chip cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or Ethereum, there is no more effective and simple strategy than DCA to use market ups and downs to their advantage without any added stress.
