lets say someone wins a million dollar and wants to dca 50k weekly into bitcoin.
What is the smartest way to do so?
I know nothing and would send 50k to binance each week and set a limit order every monday. Is there a better way?
Thx
If you win a million dollars and decide to DCA 50k, It will take a lot of weeks before you will be able to DCA enough. And because of how quickly money can go as it comes, it will better for me to just budget what I need money for, then invest what is left in bitcoins and then continue by the DCA strategy to continue to accumulate more.
Keeping that amount of money for weeks is dangerous not just because it can get missing, but due to fact that it can be spent on somethings that suddenly come up when you have some money. You do not always need to buy bitcoins by DCA.
Indeed, in your words there is a certain common sense. There were many cases when people who won big sums of money in the lottery spent everything very quickly, lost their previous savings, property, became debtors and simply ended badly. Therefore, if you have a lot of money, there may be temptations for rash spending on unnecessary junk and extra trash. Perhaps the strategy of buying bitcoin immediately with some of that money doesn't sound stupid at all. Of course, if desired, btc can be exchanged back for fiat and spent (of course, with losses during conversion), but spending it will be a little more difficult, because this is already an investment and extra actions during the exchange will slow it down a bit. But you can do it differently (roughly as OP described): draw up an action plan, allocate an amount for investment in btc, buy btc once a week for a certain amount. I don’t think that someone, having become a millionaire, will spend time on daily purchases bitcoin, so 1 time per week or per month is quite acceptable. The amount of 50k also seems quite acceptable to me, although it can be divided by two. Should also take into account the current trend in the cryptomarket: in a bearish market, as it is now, it is better to buy at 50k, because bicoin is cheap, and in a bullish one, it is better to stretch over time and for a smaller amount, like 25k.
