    How is DCA passive income?
    Do you know DCA well at all?
    DCA itself is not a source of income, rather DCA is an investment method. We do not get income from DCA, but rather we invest by deducting expenses from our income and following the DCA method with investable money. Apart from DCA, there are other investment methods, but since DCA averages our purchase price over the long term and provides the opportunity to invest small amounts, it is a very popular method, but it is not a source of income.

    Yeahhhh..... I agree DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) is not a source of income or a means of passive income, it is essentially a risk management investment strategy.

    From my experience, I have seen that lump-sum investments in highly volatile markets like Bitcoin are quite risky. DCA keeps us away from those emotional decisions (FOMO) and averages out the market fluctuations over the long term.

    It's good that you agree with me. But you called aggressive investing directly risky. That means that according to your statement, we should not invest aggressively in huge amounts. But the reality is a little different. In fact, investing in large amounts is not always wrong, if that amount comes from discretionary income. If someone has a really large amount of investable money, emergency funds, no debt pressure and has a mindset of holding it for the long term, then aggressive investing can be reasonable. We just have to take care that in case of aggressive investing, we understand our cash flow properly.
    You can actually DCA in bulk if you have the means to and that's how to take advantage of the DCA method when you know that you have the financial power to buy in bulk. The only down side of buying in bulk happens when you're buying with everything you've got without proper provision for other things that helps you remain invested till you've attained your investment goal.

    The people that dare to invest aggressively are the ones that ends in profit when there's a bull but you've got to also note that not everyone has what it takes for aggressive investment in bitcoin. Depending on your income, you can DCA with $200, $400, $500 and even more than a thousand dollar at a go. While these amount can be an individual daily DCA budget, some investors that are not that financially bouyant might tag it an amount for bulk purchase which just goes to show the how different investors views a particular amount used in bitcoin investment. What's a bulk amount for you might be my regular DCA budget.
