How to win in Crypto without timing the market
Everyone wants to make money from crypto, but most people don’t know how. You’ve probably heard someone say, “If only I bought Bitcoin when it was cheap.” That line comes up every time the price goes up. But the truth is, nobody ever really knows when it’s cheap or expensive until it’s too late.
Crypto prices move up and down. Sometimes they climb like a rocket, and other times they fall without warning. Between 2011 and 2015, Bitcoin dropped by over 90% twice. In 2022, it lost more than half its value again. Trying to predict these movements is like guessing the exact moment lightning will strike. You might get lucky once or twice, but you can’t depend on luck forever.
That’s where Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) comes in, a simple investing strategy that helps you grow your crypto over time without worrying about price swings.
What Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) means
Dollar Cost Averaging is an investing strategy in which you buy crypto regularly with a fixed amount of money, regardless of the price at that moment. It could be $2 every week, $4 every two weeks, or $10 every month.
The goal isn’t to catch the lowest price. The goal is to keep buying steadily, so you reduce the effect of market ups and downs on your overall returns.
Here’s how it works: when the price of Bitcoin drops, your $10 buys more units. When the price rises, the same $10 buys fewer. Over time, the average cost of your total Bitcoin holdings is lower than if you had bought it all at once.
You don’t need to be a trading expert. You don’t need to watch the charts or time the market. You just need to be consistent.
Why DCA works
Let’s say you had $667 to invest back in 2017 and you put it all into Bitcoin at once. Today, that $667 would be worth about $10,000. That’s solid growth.
But here’s where it gets interesting: if you had instead invested $7 every month since 2017, your total investment would be about $640. Yet, that smaller, steady approach would be worth about $17,000 today.
You didn’t invest more money. You simply spread it out over time.
That’s the magic of DCA. It helps you buy more when prices are low, less when they’re high, and grow steadily without stress.
It’s also easier on your pocket. You don’t have to save up a big amount to start investing. You can begin small, stay consistent, and build over time.
Why you need DCA more than ever
Let’s be honest, crypto can be emotional. You see prices jump and feel the urge to buy. Then it drops, and you start to panic. That cycle of excitement and fear keeps repeating, and many people end up losing money because they react instead of plan.
DCA changes that. It gives you a steady plan that works in any market. Instead of chasing prices, you focus on your habit. Instead of worrying about timing, you focus on progress.
Even better, you can do it automatically now. You don’t have to remember when to buy or set reminders every week. You can set it once and let the system handle the rest.
And that’s precisely what the Busha Stack Race is about.
What the Busha Stack Race is
The Busha Stack Race is a challenge designed to help you build the DCA habit while rewarding you for being consistent. From October 6 to December 28, 2025, Busha users across Nigeria and Kenya are automating their crypto buys and competing for weekly rewards.
It’s not a trading competition. It’s a savings movement, one that helps everyday people like you grow their crypto safely and steadily.
All you need to do is set up a Recurring Buy on Busha. Pick your preferred crypto, choose how often you want to buy, and set the amount. It could be $2, $4, or $7. Once that’s done, Busha will automatically buy for you on schedule, every time.
Each week, Busha tracks your consistency and rewards active participants. The earlier you start and the more consistent you are, the better your chances of winning.
But even beyond the prizes, the true reward is the habit you build. You’re teaching yourself to invest with discipline, not emotion.
Why This Matters
Crypto has changed many lives, but most people only see the headlines of people who turned $33 into $3,333. They don’t see the quiet consistency behind the real success stories.
DCA reminds you that small steps matter. $5 today, $5 next week, and before long, you’ve built something solid. It’s the kind of strategy that turns patience into profit.
And that’s the whole spirit of the Busha Stack Race: helping people stack smarter, not harder.
