§ The Method
Boring beats brilliant.
— An essay in three paragraphs
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is the practice of buying a fixed dollar amount of an asset on a fixed schedule, regardless of price. You buy more when it's cheap, less when it's expensive, and never have to guess the top or bottom.
For Bitcoin specifically, DCA has historically outperformed almost every form of active trading by retail investors. The reason is structural: BTC's drawdowns are brutal (–80% is common), and most people who try to time them sell at the lows and re-enter at the highs. A recurring buy bypasses the psychology entirely.
This tool runs your hypothetical buys against real historical daily closes and tells you the truth. The strategy isn't clever. It's just patient.
