Frequently Asked Questions
▶What is Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)?
DCA is an investment strategy where you invest a fixed amount at regular intervals, regardless of price. For example, buying $100 of Chainlink every month means you buy at both highs and lows, averaging out your cost basis over time.
▶How much should I invest in Chainlink per month?
The right amount depends on your financial situation. Start with an amount you can afford to lose. Many investors start with $50-$500 per month. Consistency matters more than the amount.
▶Is DCA better than lump sum investing?
Statistically, lump sum investing outperforms DCA about 66% of the time. However, DCA is psychologically easier, requires no large upfront capital, and reduces timing risk in volatile markets like crypto.
▶When is the best time to start DCA?
The best time to start was yesterday. The second best time is today. DCA removes the need to time the market, so there is no "perfect" entry point. Start with a comfortable amount and stay consistent.
▶What does the break-even price mean?
The break-even price is the minimum price LINK needs to reach for you to recover your total investment. If you see a break-even with tax (Korean pages), that accounts for the 22% capital gains tax.
