Frequently asked questions
What is dollar-cost averaging (DCA)?
DCA is a strategy where you invest the same amount at regular intervals, for example every week. You buy more coins when the price is low and fewer when it is high, which smooths out your average purchase price.
Is DCA better than investing a lump sum?
It depends on how the market moves. In a steadily rising market a lump sum at the start usually wins, while in a volatile or falling market DCA reduces the risk of buying at the top. The calculator shows both results for comparison. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
