When the market throws volatility at you, DCA—dollar-cost averaging—becomes your best friend. Set up regular buys across market cycles, whether prices spike or dip. That's the real move.

Market cycles are predictable in one way: red candles always give way to green ones. The key isn't timing every dip perfectly; it's consistency and conviction. Those who stuck with their strategy through downturns built serious positions when others panicked.

That's right, you just have to endure. I really dislike those who try to catch the bottom precisely, only to cut their losses when there's a limit-down. DCA has really saved me many times; just treat it as regular savings, anyway, sooner or later you'll get your money back. Wait, are you oversimplifying the market cycle? Green candles can also fall for three years... Nonsense, the more people insist during a decline, the fewer who end up laughing last. But on the other hand, compared to staring at the market and making reckless moves every day, lying flat and investing regularly is definitely much more comfortable.

Yeah, that's right. DCA has really saved me several times. Every time I try to catch the bottom, I get trapped. Now I just invest steadily and honestly. DCA sounds simple, but not many people can stick with it. Most people get scared out. The idea of red and green candles is a bit naive, but it is indeed correct from a certain cycle perspective. Those who shout panic end up regretting it. I've seen too many such stories. The best part of dollar-cost averaging is having a good mindset. No need to watch the market or worry about prices, just wait patiently. Basically, it's about who can endure more. People with poor mental resilience simply can't handle this. During last year's halving, those who kept buying are now laughing.

It's easy to say, but how many can really survive several rounds of crashes... I did stick with it, but my mindset is almost breaking down haha

To be honest, I've heard the DCA approach so many times, but only a few people can really stick with it. Most people lose their composure when the market drops by 20%.
