THE BASICS/DCA
DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)
DCA is an investment strategy that involves buying an asset at regular intervals with a fixed amount, regardless of price.
This approach smooths out the purchase cost, reducing the impact of volatility and avoiding the temptation to time the market.

- Ideal for beginners and long-term investing.
