Dollar-Cost-Averaging:

Dollar cost averaging is a super simple method for both beginner and seasoned investors to regularly grow their investments over time. How? By investing small, incremental amounts on a regular, consistent basis. (Such as every day, week, or month – automation is your friend here!)

‍
Dollar cost averaging involves investing slowly – spreading your investments out at different price points. For example, if you get paid weekly, you can invest $20 into crypto each week when you get your paycheck – regardless of how low or high the market is on that day. Consistency is key here -- think of dollar cost averaging as investing on auto pilot. This means that over time, you’ll be buying through bear markets -- when the prices are low -- and bull markets -- when the prices are high. Your DCA is the average of all your investments – from your bear market dippity dips to your peakity peak bull market moments. And because you’re investing consistently, your purchases average out. It’s a win/win.

‍
Dollar cost averaging is a popular way to combat bear markets – because it makes it easy to keep you invested and on-track! We recommend utilizing dollar cost averaging if you’re an emotional investor, get nervous during dips, or tend to invest less during bear markets. (It’s human, we get it!)

It's hard to predict the bottom of a bear market or the top of the bull market. Save yourself some stress and DCA your way through it with these helpful hints to make DCA to be the most effective:

• Consistency is key! To dollar cost average successfully, you must be contributing in regular intervals – daily, weekly, or monthly
• Automate it! This makes it easy to ensure you’re staying disciplined about your investing. Put it on autopilot so emotions don’t get in the way
• Hold long term. Blockchain is still a new technology and crypto can be very volatile – the longer you hold and more consistently you invest through DCA, the greater your gains will be. (This applies to the stock market too!)
• Don’t sweat it. Live your life. Get rewarded for your investments
