DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)
Buying a fixed amount on a schedule — the anti-timing strategy.
Dollar-cost averaging means buying a fixed fiat amount of bitcoin on a fixed schedule — weekly, monthly — regardless of price. You buy more sats when the price is low and fewer when high, removing timing decisions and emotions from the process.
It is the most recommended accumulation strategy for a volatile asset, and even nation-states have used it (El Salvador’s bitcoin-a-day). Whether it beat lump-sum in any period is checkable, not arguable.
