Cryptocurrencies during turbulent days and my strategy for the coming months
No one can say with certainty today which direction the cryptocurrency market will take after the recent very turbulent days. Volatility is extreme, sentiment shifts day to day, and emotions again play a huge role.
In my USD portfolio I have long-term holdings of $BTCUSD, $ETHUSD and $ADAUSD. Bitcoin holds the dominant position, making up roughly 8% of the portfolio, while ETH and ADA each account for about 1%.
In mid-November 2025 I decided that for one year I would regularly buy additional BTC—always on Wednesdays, always for the same amount. At the time I didn’t know this approach had an official name: DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging). It simply made sense to me for an asset I believe in and for which I want to systematically build a long-term position, without trying to time the market.
After the recent significant drops in ETH and ADA I decided to apply the same strategy to these two cryptocurrencies. So from now on I will buy BTC, ETH and ADA every Wednesday, with the following conditions:
- I will top up ETH and ADA each time for approximately 0.15% of the portfolio value,
- these purchases are not time-limited, as is the case with BTC,
- I will continue them only under the condition that:
ADA is below the level of 0.55 USD,
ETH is below the level of 2,800 USD.
The goal is not to catch the bottom, but to, in a disciplined way, use weaker prices to build positions in assets I trust for the long term, while keeping the crypto allocation in the portfolio under control.
God save the king, my investments, and cryptocurrencies.
What is your opinion on cryptocurrencies and the DCA strategy? Do you use it, or do you approach buying differently?
Are you buying more during these big drops now, or are you still buying the same amount?
I'm curious—what's the investment thesis behind buying ADA?
