### 📌 What is Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)?
DCA is an investment strategy where you invest a fixed amount of money into an asset (such as Bitcoin or Ethereum) at regular intervals, regardless of whether the price is high or low. Its main goal is to reduce the impact of volatility by averaging the purchase cost over time.

### 📈 5 Steps to Implement DCA in Cryptocurrencies
1. Choose the Asset and Define your Objective
- Example: If you want to accumulate $BTC o $ETH, decide which one to prioritize (you can diversify).
- Important: Choose projects with solid fundamentals and high liquidity.
2. Set a Fixed Amount and Frequency
- Amount: Decide how much you will invest per period (eg: $100 weekly or $500 monthly).
- Frequency: Daily, weekly or monthly. Recommended: Short frequencies (weekly) in very volatile markets.
3. Automate Purchases
- Use tools like Binance Recurring Buy or trading bots to schedule automatic purchases.
- Example: Set up a recurring order for $50 worth of $ETH every Monday at 9 AM.
4. Monitor and Adjust (Without Emotions)
- Review your strategy every 3-6 months. If the market drops by 30%, you can temporarily increase the amount.
- Don't do: Impulse purchases outside of your initial plan.
5. Maintain Discipline Over the Long Term
- DCA works best on 1-5 year horizons. Historical example:
- If you invested $100 per month in $BTC since 2018, you would have a +400% ROI today despite the 80% declines in 2022.

### 💡 Practical Example: DCA vs. Lump Sum Investment
Suppose you invest $1,200 in $SOL in two ways:
- DCA: $100 per month for 12 months.
- Lump sum: All money invested in January.
| Month | Price of $SOL | DCA (Purchased Units) | Lump Sum (Purchased Units) |
|-------|----------------|--------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| January | $150 | 0.66 | 8.00 |
| Feb | $90 | 1.11 | - |
| March | $120 | 0.83 | - |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
| Total | Average price: $118 | 12.5 units | 8 units |
Result: With DCA, you would average a lower cost and get more units.

### 🔥 When to Use DCA?
- Bearish or volatile markets: Avoid buying everything at a peak.
- Conservative profile: You minimize the stress of "timing" the market.
- Stable income: If you receive a fixed salary, you adapt the DCA to your cash flow.
---
### ⚠️ Common Errors When Applying DCA
- Abandon the strategy on dips: If $BTC drops to $50K and you stop buying, you lose the opportunity to average.
- Do not adjust the amount: In bullish markets, you can reduce the frequency; in bearish markets, increase it.
- Ignore fees: Use exchanges with low fees (eg: Binance Spot with 0.1% fee).
