Want to know how powerful the dollar-cost averaging strategy really is? Some data provides the answer. In this investment experiment from 2018 to now, investing $50 weekly for about 400 weeks, totaling $20,000. What was the result? Gold accumulated to $39,000, less than double; Bitcoin soared to $148,000, a return of 7.4 times. This is not about promoting anything, just the historical data speaking — long-term holding of Bitcoin indeed yields much higher returns than traditional safe-haven assets. The core of the dollar-cost averaging strategy is to focus on time and compound interest; regardless of market fluctuations, those who stick with it often see different results.

Buddy, 7.4 times? I feel like the data is a bit optimistic. How many times do we have to endure a 50% cut in the middle of this?

$148,000? Wait, there's a problem with this data. I didn't see any analysis of the impact of whale chip distribution on that pump.

This data is quite intense, 7.4 times versus 2 times, the gap is indeed noticeable.

Now I finally understand what time is money. I won't mention gold unless it doubles, but Bitcoin has directly increased sevenfold? Persistence is the real winner.

This data is so heartbreaking. Investing 20,000 yuan in Bitcoin can multiply seven times, while I'm still holding onto gold and sleeping soundly...

Invest 20,000 and multiply by 7.4 times. The words sound good, but have a few guys really stuck to the end?
