────faq
? what is dollar cost averaging
DCA means investing a fixed amount on a recurring schedule, regardless of price. For Polkadot, that could be $100 every month or $25 every week.
? how much should I invest into polkadot
Use an amount you can repeat comfortably. The useful habit is consistency, not heroically sizing one perfect buy.
? is DCA better than lump-sum
Lump sum often wins statistically, but DCA wins on repeatability. It reduces timing risk and makes volatile assets easier to hold through.
? what does the break-even price mean
The price DOT needs to reach so the dollar value of the bag equals total dollars invested. Korean pages also show a 22%-tax-adjusted scenario.
