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

[salad daging]

I don't like meme coins though, higher risk, so for me if I will do altcoins DCA, I will choose those in the top 10-20.

Do not on memecoin it does have a high risk and I have lost capital several times on memecoin, not to scare but in reality you will lose a lot.
DCA on top altcoins will be very good considering some narratives say the altcoin season will occur in 2025 I think this could be the case.

Until now, I have been doing DCA on several altcoins that I have been saving, because it is an effective tool and many other crypto believers are also using it.
If institutional investors are doing it, how much more should we who are not institutional investors, right?

As long as there is no take-off in the price of bitcoin, continue to implement DCA on crypto assets, but when it starts to rally, stop it because it might just stress you out even more and affect your emotions.

I am still DCAing, whether Id sell them on this year or for the next cycle, I do not mind. I have taken some profits and I am happy with that. And that is why I am going take more into accumulation to recover how much I have sold. It is not too late to DCA btc and stop thinking that it is already expensive because that will give us the delay in accumulation and will believe our thoughts that we should have stopped already and go elsewhere to accumulate alts instead.

Considering the fundamental analysis of Bitcoin, it is really more appropriate to always buy than altcoins. You will not lose if you have a long-term projection, because we all know that Bitcoin price really keeps going up for a yearly time frame... need a lot of spare cash too so we can be calm in holding and DCA...

However, I see the peak of BTC price will happen in the near future, before there will be a bearish moment... so maybe not buying BTC until June is a good move so that our average purchase can be a little lower.... yes this is just a prediction, so there is also a possibility of being wrong. Just adjust it to your risk profile... if you want to find something a little riskier, altcoins are very good to consider.

While that makes sense to wait for the time it goes low before buying again. I just cannot do that because instead of buying, I might be able to spend the money I have on other things if I wont be buying any amount of bitcoin with that money. And that is why I want to spend it in buying bitcoin and simply do the actual DCA no matter what is the real situation of the market for this year.

there is the dca where you wait and buy but there is dca where you just buy it on the scheduled time periodically

what you decide to do should be entirely up to your own preference if you are a little tight on budget then waiting might be the best idea but like you said if you struggle with saving the money then you should just buy it right away some people are too indecisive that if they wait they will eventually lose the chance to buy and that is what we do not want to happen

You are the diamond hands we always talk about. As I understand, you are continuing to DCA in the long term regardless of any price that BTC might reach. Perhaps your target for BTC is extremely high, or you want to dedicate these BTC to the next generations because you have no plans to take profits for yourself.

I'm quite curious about your plans for the BTC you have been accumulating. I just want to take 100% profit this year because I think 2025 is the best year of this uptrend, after that the crypto winter will come and we will talk about reasonable price ranges to buy back BTC. Are you not concerned about the crypto winter of 2026?

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 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
  Note:
  
  • My opinion has been presented in a topic, on BitcoinTalk forum.
  • This topic on AltcoinsTalks forum has included a minor change in the way my opinion is presented.
  • This statement is to avoid accusations of plagiarism.

I would say historically you have made more losses because you have not had enough Bitcoin in your portfolio.

So I would suggest to DCA into Bitcoin above Altcoins.

I also would have thought that there is no need to DCA into Altcoins because they are all so affordable you can just buy whole Altcoins.

I think DCA is suited more to Bitcoin because its almost impossible to buy whole Bitcoins now.

I don't care about the number of tokens, I just want to get a percentage return on investment. I DCA BTC not because BTC is too expensive to buy 1 BTC with 100K USD immediately, DCA helps me minimize risk during the crypto winter.

Similarly, altcoins are neither expensive nor cheap, as long as they can increase in value significantly, they are all worth investing in. I think DCA is also suitable for them if investors want to diversify risk and want to accumulate in the long term with monthly salary.

Do not on memecoin it does have a high risk and I have lost capital several times on memecoin, not to scare but in reality you will lose a lot.

Indeed. Meme coins are riskier because they have no clear fundamentals. If we want to have safe investment, it is better to focus on fundamental coins. Especially those top coins with clear fundamentals. ETH, BNB, ADA, DOT, POL, XLM, and SOL are some examples of top coins with strong fundamental coins. Only focus on these coins if we want to avoid too high risks.

DCA on top altcoins will be very good considering some narratives say the altcoin season will occur in 2025 I think this could be the case.

We only do DCA on top coins. There is no need to do DCA on random coins. Moreover for those new coins, it is not recommended to do DCA. Personally, I only do DCA for BTC and ETH. I only think these coins that deserve to be the priority for my crypto asset.

DCA helps us reduce investment risk: we always have the opportunity to buy potential tokens at the bottom during long crypto winters. DCA is not for unstable tokens like memecoins, at least I have not seen anyone DCA PEPE or BONK. DOGE and SHIB are exceptions because they have already established their own positions in the market.

Investors should be cautious when choosing altcoins for DCA: top coins and native coins should be prioritized as they are supported by a healthy ecosystem. If investors make the wrong choice, DCA will not bring peace of mind and profits to their accounts.

If we want to take the risk on making investment on altcoins, then we should never attempt on making a long one with altcoins, because some of them fall over time and still go more dip to the extent of not reaching the last high the got and stated falling, some traders will go short on some altcoins because they know that it's likely for bear to come than bull over the coin in future trade.

wrong choice if you do the DCa system on meme coins, not the profit that is obtained but the ongoing loss where meme coins are flash coins to seek profit when the market is up and can be used to cover losses when the market was sluggish before

For most memecoins, DCA is not a suitable strategy. I also only consider memecoins as lottery tickets, which I buy a small amount of for fun during the hottest phase of the uptrend after taking profits from BTC and many other altcoins.

Investors should apply DCA to BTC and top altcoins to maintain the highest level of safety for their accounts. Memecoins are for playing and having fun, not for investment. However, some memecoins have actually become valuable and deserve to be DCA like DOGE and SHIB. They don't have the x10 price increase as quickly as many other memecoins in the market, but they may recover and create new ATHs this season.

You choose the wrong memecoin and it will just be thrown in the trash because the devs are just farming and then doing a rug pull very quickly.
The top memecoins with a strong community are better, but of course the main portfolio should have the top altcoin fund BTC, I now have it all and try to survive in times when the market is not doing well and do DCA with the money that is left.
