Dollar-Cost Averaging Bitcoin Since 2017
These are actual historical results — not projections or models. Every number uses real BTC prices from 2017 to today. The S&P 500 column assumes a 10% annual return with monthly compounding for comparison.
DCA works because it removes the pressure of timing the market. Even investors who started at cycle peaks eventually accumulated significant returns by staying consistent through bear markets.
