DCA reduces timing risk; it does not remove market risk. Bitcoin has had multi-year drawdowns exceeding 75%, and past accumulation results do not predict future ones. Educational tool — not investment advice.

Frequently asked questions
What if I'd bought $50 of bitcoin every month since 2020?
You'd have invested about $3,850 and accumulated roughly 0.1232 BTC, worth $7,833 at the current price — 2.03× the money put in. The simulation uses documented yearly average prices; exact monthly execution would vary somewhat.
Does dollar-cost averaging into bitcoin work?
DCA spreads your cost basis across the entire price history, automatically buying more when prices crash. From most historical start years it produced strong results — but it does not guarantee profit, and several start periods spent years underwater first. Its real value is behavioural: it removes the need to time an extremely volatile asset.
What about fees and taxes?
This simulation excludes them. Recurring-buy fees range from ~0.1% to several percent per purchase depending on the venue — material over years. And every future sale owes capital gains tax measured against each purchase's cost basis, so keep records from the first buy.
