DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) is an investment strategy in which you invest a fixed amount of money in an asset periodically, regardless of whether the asset's price is high or low. The goal of DCA is to reduce the risk associated with investment timing, as you will buy more when prices are low and less when prices are high, thereby reducing your average purchase price over time.
How DCA works:
+ Determine the investment amount: You decide the specific amount you will invest each time, for example 100$ per month.
+ Choose investment assets: You choose the asset you want to invest in, for example BTC, ETH,...
+ Set up an investment schedule: You set up a periodic schedule, for example monthly or quarterly, to make investments.
+ Buy assets periodically: You make asset purchases at predetermined times, regardless of whether the asset's price is high or low.
Advantages of DCA:
+ Reduce timing risk: You don't need to worry about choosing the best time to invest.

+ Reduce the impact of price fluctuations: You will buy more when prices are low and less when prices are high, helping to reduce the average purchase price.
Disadvantages of DCA:
+ Possible missed opportunities: If the market is in a strong uptrend, you may not be able to take advantage of the best opportunity.
+ Can cause investors to neglect researching and monitoring the market.
+ Not suitable for all types of assets: Suitable for highly liquid assets, not for less liquid or highly volatile assets.
