Is this a good time to stop DCA BTC and focus on DCA altcoins?

[KryptoBull]

I've been in the crypto market since 2017 and have had more losses than gains from my investments. I've been able to stay in this market thanks to my freelance income from translating documents and news updates for various projects. The losses I experienced during the 2017 and 2021 bear markets motivated me to start DCA crypto throughout 2022, 2023, and 2024.

I’ve chosen BTC for weekly DCA and have accumulated a few thousand USD worth of BTC until BTC hits 100K USD after Trump officially wins the heated US election. I’ve officially stopped DCA and activated RDCA: selling a portion of my BTC at different targets. I’ve also shared this on the forum for community feedback.

Today I read an article on Cointelegraph stating that the BTC DCA strategy will soon end and investors should switch to DCA altcoins to achieve higher returns during the altseason in 2025. Personally, I believe it officially ended when BTC reached 100K USD, but I haven't planned to buy more altcoins right now, although I also believe the altseason will happen soon. I activated the DCA altcoins strategy with 50% of my capital right after the halving, but unfortunately, it yielded lower returns compared to the DCA BTC strategy, the reason being that I skipped memecoins and only focused on some top coins in the market.

I'm not buying any crypto every week right now. The remaining stablecoins from the initial capital and profits from BTC RDCA will be held to wait for the opportunity to buy the dip in case the market has a big correction of -20-30% due to a black swan event next year. If the market grows favorably, I'm also happy with the profits from the price increase of the tokens in my portfolio.

I would like to know your opinion on this issue:

• Have you ever applied the DCA strategy in the crypto market?
• Do you think investors should stop DCA BTC to DCA altcoins with the expectation of making bigger profits in the 2025 altseason?
• Do you often refer to the opinions of experienced traders on the internet to adjust your crypto investment strategy?

• Is the Bitcoin DCA opportunity over? Here’s what traders are thinking

Only if they know the risk and already does research on specific altcoin they plan to perform DCA. I think average cryptocurrency investor better stick with DCA Bitcoin.

• Do you often refer to the opinions of experienced traders on the internet to adjust your crypto investment strategy?

Not really, since it's hard to know which trader actually is experienced or skilled.

Often and even continue I do for coins that I believe in today other than Bitcoin.

Do you think investors should stop DCA BTC to DCA altcoins with the expectation of making bigger profits in the 2025 altseason?

Not always, investment is an option, if someone wants to choose Bitcoin may be the main asset in DCA, but for potential altcoins it is also necessary to get an allocation for DCA and this will be a double benefit.

Do you often refer to the opinions of experienced traders on the internet to adjust your crypto investment strategy?

Not always, because every reference from someone else cannot be trusted, it is better to do your own research and it will be much better, but of course with basic knowledge that can be held accountable.

1. I have been applying the DCA strategy for BTC and top coins since 2023 and am still continuing to do so. The rewards from the signature campaign on AltcoinsTalks can also be considered a part of the DCA strategy, around $40 per week.

2. BTC and ALTs are two sides of the same coin: there is a bitseason, there will be an altseason, so investors can diversify their portfolios with ALTs. I have also stopped actively DCA BTC to save capital for DCA ALTs, I focus on ETH and some other top coins like ADA, DOT, AVAX, NEAR... because they are quite safe.

3. I have gone through a phase of referring to other people trading opinions to imitate or adjust my strategy. Now I proactively analyze the market and share my views on AltcoinsTalks, then I receive feedback from the community to perfect my analysis and prediction.

I also noticed that you no longer try to understand the basis and meaning of predictions from other KOLs or analysts in the market like you did in 2021. You also participate less in supplementing other people's opinions. You have created a new approach based on big data analysis to analyze BTC, and from there, you can broadly infer the general state of the entire market.

I'm not very familiar with technical analysis, I just hope that your insights will continue to be correct and we will have the safest and most reasonable exit point from the market in 2025 after BTC reaches 150K USD.

You have been DCAing since 2022. Do you still ill have more loses now that BTC is more than 90k?
I just kept my alt coins as is since 2023 after buying some of them. If the bears win this market I think I will also start selling before I lose them all. Keeping doesn't make sense when prices are falling.

Altcoins prices are still not too high which we still can buy a lot with $1k. DCAing I think hink will only make sense on expensive tokens lik ETH. But sure buy some more if your plans are for long term holding.

DCA will not end when Bitcoin reaches a certain price, otherwise it would have ended when Bitcoin was $10,000. It will continue to exist even if Bitcoin was $10 million, provided that there is price volatility and the general trend is increasing. In short, this strategy does not depend on a specific price, but on volatility. Bitcoin's volatility is actually decreasing, but it has not reached a stable level. If Bitcoin's price stabilizes at $1,000/$10,000/$100,000 for several years, then DCA will fail.

1. Yeah I do DCA strategy from both Bitcoin and Altcoins in the crypto market.
2. This is actually depends on the investors own preferences those smart ones prefer to do both especially if they do have better capital. I prefer to do this on Altcoins because I have limited funds though sold all my holdings but still I have plans to buy when I have enough funds.
3. I personally did refer other experts opinion before but it doesn't work with me maybe I have something that needs to improve so maybe I'll be making this happen.

Wait till we see the impact of Mica and how much the EU wants to enforce it.

There are two things in those regulations one about market integrity which meme coins and most pup and dumps will fail it in one second, so everything that was the hype in autumn can consider itself banned and then there is the consumer protection which can be enforced on exchnges providing them, so you allowed a rugpull, you'll be held liable.
Whatever trouble the $#^%$@$ girl or Hawk Tuah is in now is nothing compared to what might happen if MICA is enforced.

[yhiaali3]

Yes, I have applied the DCA strategy to Bitcoin before, I invested since Bitcoin was around 30K and I got almost more than three times as much.

As for your question: "Is the Bitcoin DCA opportunity over?" I think it is no longer very profitable this cycle, but it is certain that it is not over and will be very profitable in the following cycles, so I advise everyone to continue.

As for the current cycle, I think it would be appropriate for the time being to stop DCA BTC in favor of DCA altcoins, because the altcoin season has not really started yet and is expected to start up significantly at any moment.

• Have you ever applied the DCA strategy in the crypto market?

Yes, DCA is a strategy that almost all investors in the crypto market must have used when accumulating bitcoin because of its simplicity and bigger advantage in the market in the long term.

• Do you think investors should stop DCA BTC to DCA altcoins with the expectation of making bigger profits in the 2025 altseason?

Investors who wants to take profit during this cycles bull run may relax in accumulating more bitcoins, because the price may not go so high again from now and their latest investment in bitcoin may short fall in profit when added together. So the DCA might stop for now but if you’re investing and looking for several more years to go, to continue DCAing now is also a good idea.

• Do you often refer to the opinions of experienced traders on the internet to adjust your crypto investment strategy?

Their opinion doesn’t really matter in my investment strategy. It is better not to depend on anyone and take decisions by yourself to boost your confidence. If you fail, you’ll learn a lesson and when you’re right, accolades will be given when due.

For the short term, I might also prefer Altcoins, at least until altseason arrives... but for the long term, BTC remains the best asset to accumulate for a 10+ year projection.... we know that Bitcoin is currently doing really well, because it has received attention from some influential people in the world.

DOGE might get a little more surprise from Elon Musk because of his success in bringing Trump to victory in the recent presidential election. While other altcoin assets will also be affected by short-term growth when the altcoin season arrives.

It's a great time to buy IMO because a lot of coins are now in the discounted range. I am hoping that there will be more people who can get something in the cryptocurrency space and profit from it. I believe it's with AI agents now, and a lot of coins are now hyping up. It's important to see the future of what they can do and see the results once the market increases.

Before you know it, it will be AI season.

I always put money in altcoins for profits, there is not much profit to be made in BTC and possibly Ethereum as well. BTC/ETH are good to secure money that you make in altcoins.

I activated the DCA altcoins strategy with 50% of my capital right after the halving, but unfortunately, it yielded lower returns compared to the DCA BTC strategy, the reason being that I skipped memecoins and only focused on some top coins in the market.

I think that was wise, you could have lost money in memecoins altogether. Regarding lower returns, give it some time, altseason is yet to come.

The use of DCA does not have a specific time, in fact, it is one of the main good tools for us to save bitcoin or other top crypto assets. This also means that whether it is a bull run or a bear season, DCA is always there to give us a view to save.

Therefore, DCA is very useful for all traders, whether you are old or newbie in the crypto trading business. Even institutional investors use this as their main
tool in this regard.
