Experience in incesting matters

Before I began investing, I read a lot about the market. Bear markets, bull markets, technical analysis and fundamental analysis were all on my reading list.

I invested my money at a point I thought was good (mistake, I should've DCA'd) and let it sit.

I now see my mistake. But more importantly, I see why I learned from it. If I had put a smaller sum down, I would have learned the exact same lesson, but still had money to put in while the market moves sideways.

My takeaway from this is that you should definitely DCA slowly if your a first year crypto investor. Trust this advice from somebody who bought at the top.
