What is DCA?
Start small, and keep it steady.
What is DCA, and how would it have worked for Bitcoin Cash?
DCA stands for dollar-cost averaging. You buy a fixed amount at regular times, like €25 every week, whatever the price is. When the price is low the same money buys more, and when it's high it buys less, so you don't have to guess the right moment.
- Why people use itIt takes out the guesswork, and small regular amounts are easier to keep up.
- What it can't doIt doesn't guarantee a profit. If the price keeps falling, you can still lose money.
- Set it and let it runA recurring buy in the app repeats on its own. Check in now and then, and change the amount if your plans change.
A quick example
€100 a month for 3 months, with made-up prices
| Month | You put in | Price | You get (BTC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | €100 | €50,000 | 0.00200 |
| February | €100 | €40,000 | 0.00250 |
| March | €100 | €60,000 | 0.00167 |
| Total | €300 | 0.00617 |
Same €100 each month: the lower the price, the more BCH you get.
Your average price: €48,649
That's lower than the €50,000 average of the three prices, because the same €100 bought more when the price was low.

Is Bitcoin Cash a good investment for beginners?
No one can promise that — BCH's price can rise or fall sharply, and past performance is never a guarantee. What you can control is how you invest: many beginners buy a small amount on a regular schedule (called dollar-cost averaging) instead of trying to time the market, and only invest what they can afford to lose. Treat Bitcoin Cash as a long-term way to learn, not a get-rich-quick bet.
Can I buy a small amount?
Yes. You don't need to buy a whole BCH. Coins are divisible to many decimal places, so you can buy a small part of one.
