Frequently asked questions
What is dollar-cost averaging (DCA) in crypto?
Dollar-cost averaging means investing a fixed amount at regular intervals, regardless of price. It smooths out volatility by buying more when prices are low and less when high, avoiding the risk of investing everything at a peak.
Does DCA guarantee profit in crypto?
No. DCA reduces timing risk but doesn't guarantee profit — if the asset's long-term price falls, so does your investment. Crypto is highly volatile and speculative. This calculator shows projections based on an assumed growth rate, not a promise.
How often should I invest with DCA?
Common intervals are weekly or monthly. More frequent buys smooth volatility slightly more but the difference is usually small. What matters most is consistency over time, not the exact frequency.
