Use Dollar Cost Averaging to Handle Volatility

Dollar cost averaging (DCA) is a technique that aims to reduce the impact of market volatility by cutting up a big investment into several parts of equal value and staggering your entry over a longer period of time. For example, if you want to buy $1,000 worth of bitcoin cash you might elect to purchase $100 of BCH at the start of every month over a 10-month period. This way if the price goes down after you begin your entrance to the market, the next purchases will get you more cryptocurrency and if the market goes up over a period and then back down you will be less impacted because you bought part of your portfolio when prices were lower earlier. Obviously such an investment strategy will result in weaker performances under some market conditions, such as if the price skyrockets tomorrow and stays at a high level or if it just constantly increases. However, it will also prevent you from losing a major chunk of your investment if the market crashes right after you made a big move, which is a fear many people share. It additionally mitigates the risk of you panic selling when the price suddenly falls 10% or so if you bought most of your coins when the price was half of that a year before and so on average each coin you hold is still more valuable than it cost you.
