What Is DCA?

The concept

Dollar-cost averaging spreads entries over time. Some people use it to reduce emotional decisions, but it can still lose money if the asset goes down or if the plan is poorly researched.

What DCA does not do

• It does not guarantee profit.
• It does not make a risky asset safe.
• It does not replace research.
• It does not solve wallet security.

Useful context

If you study DCA, also study risk tolerance, time horizon, fees, custody, and how much volatility you can realistically handle.
