I invested $1300 in Bitcoin this year. My portfolio is now worth $982. That is a 24.4% loss. Most people would call this a failure. I call it proof that time in market beats timing the market.
Here is the math. I bought $25 of BTC every single week for one year. No skipping. No trying to catch dips. Just automatic buys. The result is 24.4% down today.
But here is what the number does not show. My average entry price is now below the peak I would have bought if I tried to time. I built a position during a sideways and down year. That position will grow when the cycle turns. DCA does not prevent loss. It prevents emotional decisions that lead to bigger loss.
The people who panic sold at lows this year locked in losses. I kept buying. I added more sats at lower prices. That is the advantage. Loss is temporary. Absence from the market is permanent.
The real question is not whether you can predict the next top. The question is whether you can stay consistent during the red months.
Are you building your position or waiting for the perfect entry?
Rough session. BTC dropped -5.8%. Selling pressure was real today. Not what bulls wanted to see. ETH outperforming BTC today (-2.9% vs -5.8%). Worth watching.
Overnight: BTC testing $67.0K zone. Break or bounce will set the tone.
