Yes, but past performance does not guarantee future performance. I do DCA and I don't care if there is war in Ukraine, Russia bans cryptocurrencies or we just broke ATH. I continue to ride along.
But we cannot trust that the returns that Bitcoin had in the first cycles will continue indefinitely. To the extent that an asset increases in price and market cap, it is more difficult for it to continue to have spectacular returns. I would like to see us reach $400K this cycle, but given what we have seen, it looks like it will be difficult.
Same here. DCA feels really difficult to do at first as a newcomer, can't help but keep looking at total price, and if you happen to have the "bad luck" of starting at the decline of a cycle, it can feel particularly hopeless to keep seeing total value drop even after many consecutive periods of DCA.
The thing I tell people who do worry about war in Ukraine, China trade wars, Pandemic, etc... is that these would anyway affect whatever asset it is you'd be holding. Black Monday in March 2020 proved this. Even in the most conservative of approaches, having Bitcoin spreads out the risk.
So for me, it's less about being in Bitcoin because we're going to keep getting supercycles, but because it's long-term pay off for the dollars you'll keep putting in.
