Dollar-Cost Averaging $200/Month for 20 Years
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) means investing a fixed amount at regular intervals, regardless of price. By putting $200 into Bitcoin every month for 20years, you'd invest a total of $48,000— buying more BTC when prices are low and less when they're high.
Under the Power Law model, this strategy could turn your $48,000 into $626K — a 13.0× return. Even the conservative CAGR 20% model projects $516K. For comparison, the same amount in an S&P 500 index fund at 10% annual returns would reach $169K.
You'd accumulate approximately 0.0639 BTC over the 20-year period. The exact amount depends on Bitcoin's price trajectory — DCA smooths out the volatility, buying more BTC during dips and less during rallies.
This is not financial advice. Bitcoin is highly volatile. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
