    DCA can help you in reducing the risk involved in Bitcoin investment. Bitcoin investment has its own risks and we have to manage these risks.
    DCA helps you eliminate the pressure of having to invest large discretionary income into bitcoin at once by allowing you to buy with any amount from your discretionary income, over a long period of time, hence you must not buy 1BTC at once, but can invest even if it is $100 weekly consistently over a longer period of time and still stand a chance of meeting your target of same 1BTC, and the best part is that you don't feel the financial pressure you would've been through if you were to buy it all at once.

    Like if you have a capital and you invest all that capital in Bitcoin in last October when Bitcoin price was at 120,000$ then your invested money will still be at loss but if you invest that capital through DCA strategy then you can have a reasonable average buying price.
    You are thinking of short-term and it is not a good thought process for an investor, if such an investor had planned to hold for long, then they would be in a good position in the future if bitcoin continues doing well. if such an investor lump summed in October and followed up his investment journey with regular DCA and would not sell in a short-term, then he is still in a good practice since he is still adding to his stash and getting closer to his accumulation target.

    The chances seem quite low that even a person investing $200 per week into bitcoin over the next 10 years would accumulate a whole BTC, $200 per week would be $10,400 over 1 year and $104k over 10 years. 

    Even though it is possible, it is quite unlikely that the average cost per BTC would be $104k or less over the next 10 years.. so it seems pie in the sky even with $200 per week to expect to accumulate 1 bitcoin in the next 10 years.

    Over time, we need to increase our investment budget, because as time goes by, the value of money decreases, and the value of our domestic fiat currency decreases. So we must also increase our discretionary income and increase the amount of Bitcoin we invest in weekly. If we are investing in Bitcoin for the long term, then we must increase our Bitcoin investment over time so that we can eventually buy one Bitcoin.
