I was bored. Nothing in the news, nothing worth opening a chart for. Just that flat market fog where you click around without knowing why.
I ended up in the Overview tab and scrolled down a bit. Not that I’d never seen it before. That old function with the overly confident name, “Dollar-cost average and grow your portfolio,” had been sitting there forever. I just never bothered to look at it properly. But these days I’m not buying anything except USDC.
So I figured, maybe it’s worth poking around. Just to see what this thing actually does. Turns out, all it really needs is some stablecoin in the balance. You set how often it runs, what hour of the day, and that’s it. Feels simple. Clean. Maybe even decent.
I figured, whatever. I’m going on break anyway. Might as well set it up and leave it alone. I’ll check Binance again in December, when the balance starts drying up. Throw in some more, let it keep running. Quiet setup. The kind that doesn’t ask anything from you. Almost feels like retirement.
And yeah, Create your own Auto-Invest Plan. That’s the headline anyway.
Except you don’t really create anything. It just splits the funds evenly across ten coins. Some of them are fine (BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB), so no complaints there. But the rest? DOT, TRX, LINK, AVAX, ADA. Tokens I wouldn’t touch on my own.
And that’s the whole issue. I can’t tell it what not to buy. I can’t say I want fifty percent BTC, twenty-five BNB, ten ETH, or change the mix whenever I feel like it. No sliders, no exclusions, no control.
It’s either their allocation or nothing. All or none. Like a sampler box nobody asked for. So yeah. It could be good. Really good. But they built it to be automatic, not personal. And that’s exactly why I won’t use it.
