Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency introduced in 2008 and launched in 2009. It lets people send value over the internet without relying on a central bank or payment company. Transactions are recorded on a public blockchain, which helps prevent double spending and lets the network verify ownership and balances. Bitcoins supply is capped at 21 million coins, which is one reason many people view it as scarce digital money. It is widely used as both a payment network and a long-term store-of-value asset, although its price can be very volatile.

Normal DCA invests your money in BTC on a regular schedule. Based on your amount and plan duration, the system selects a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule that meets the minimum purchase requirements. It does not wait for a market dip, helping spread purchases across different prices over time.
Smart DCA is an annual BTC accumulation plan. Users pre-register for the next calendar year, and the plan runs from January 1 through December 31. The investment budget is released gradually each month instead of becoming available all at once.
The plan combines smaller scheduled purchases with larger purchases when qualifying market dips occur. During an unusually sharp decline, it may use a limited portion of the next monthly Smart Buy budget. There is no fixed five-purchase limit, and unused funds remain protected until they are released or settled at the end of the plan.
Smart DCA reacts to market conditions but cannot guarantee a profit or a lower average purchase price.
A simple market sentiment indicator that helps show whether crypto traders are fearful or greedy.
The Fear & Greed Index shows crypto market sentiment on a 0 to 100 scale. Low numbers point to fear or uncertainty; high numbers point to greed or hype. It does not predict the future, but it helps frame a DCA decision.
