Frequently asked questions

What is Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)?

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is an investment strategy where you invest a fixed amount of money at regular intervals (like daily, weekly, or monthly) regardless of the asset's price. This approach reduces the impact of volatility and removes the stress of trying to 'time the market'.

Why is DCA popular in Crypto?

Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, meaning their prices can swing wildly from day to day. A DCA strategy averages out your purchase price over time, meaning you buy more tokens when prices are low and fewer when prices are high. It's often recommended as the safest strategy for long-term crypto investors.

How do I calculate my Average Purchase Price?

Your average purchase price is the total amount of money you have invested divided by the total number of tokens you own. For example, if you bought $1,000 worth of Bitcoin at $20,000 and another $1,000 at $40,000, you spent $2,000 for 0.075 BTC. Your average price is $2,000 / 0.075 = $26,666.
