You’ve been told to keep throwing in more money on your crashing asset to reduce the average purchase price. Saylor bought over 20k bitcoins at an average price of about $34,000. Considering the difference between the highest and lowest prices he bought them; that’s a long journey and a whole lot of Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA). Dollar Cost Averaging?

What does that even mean? Well, if you have the habit of buying more of a particular asset even as its price keeps falling down the cliff, then you’re DCAing, without even knowing the general term for what you are doing. A majority of cryptocurrency investors do this a lot, myself too. A pure show of belief and dedication…or just greed.

Even your favorite Twitter influencer told you at least once to “fill your bags at these prices”. Even as the price goes lower, you still fill ‘those bags’. DCAing and hoping for better days. Sometimes they come, other times…well, bagholding is also part of the game. If you are an active DeFi participant or a meme token connoisseur, you probably have tons of tokens you might never sell again. You kept buying down the molehill and now there is no way back up the dark pits. It happens.

The advice to keep buying the dip and HODLing is a popular one, but there’s something you’re not being told…yet.
