Why're we doing this?

This is from my recent comment. I'm too busy building features for yall to refine this with Grok, so why not just quote it as it is?

-This is the reply regarding question about risk management in crypto-

I think you're on the right track.

Crypto is still new compare to stock so majority still be tempted by making large profit from its volatility. But sooner or later, they're gonna realize their winning trade depends heavily on luck. Whether they can preserve their portfolio overtime is the main question ones need to ask.

So yeah, learn about boring strategies from traditional finance actually is the most practical path to survive the long run. Risk management like you said can be done through rebalance, diversify, DCA, yield and so on.

That's why I'm working on a service to democratize traditional finance service to the crypto world. It's crazy how people to expect big altcoin season just so they can re-done their mistakes in the previous season, while the market is more mature everyday with institutional involvement and Clarity Act in coming.

We will launch our Beta very soon, by the end of this month. And we will be posting updates on r/HodlyCrypto.

Lump Sum vs DCA for BTC & ETH from 2020–2026: LS wins… or does it?

I ran a test comparing Lump Sum vs DCA for Bitcoin and Ethereum, using price data from Jan 1, 2020 to May 16, 2026.

(Full test result in second image)

Strategies tested:

  • LS = invest all capital immediately
  • DCA(1) = split investment over yearly intervals
  • DCA(6) = split investment over 6 periods per year
  • DCA(12) = monthly DCA

How to read the table:

  • Mean Terminal = average final portfolio value. Higher is better.
  • Std Terminal = how spread out the final outcomes are. Higher means more uncertainty around the result.
  • Sharpe = return per unit of volatility. Higher is better.
  • Avg Max DD = average maximum drawdown. Lower is better.
  • Avg Days Below Initial = average percent of time the strategy stayed below the starting capital. Lower is better.
  • Avg Max Days Below Initial = average longest stretch spent below starting capital. Lower is better.
  • Avg Days to Breakeven = average time needed to recover back to starting capital after falling below it. Lower is better.
  • Worst 10% Terminal Avg = average final result from the worst 10% of starting periods. Higher is better.
  • CVaR95 Loss = average loss in the worst 5% of outcomes. Lower is better.

Simplified result:

  • LS wins big on return for both BTC and ETH 
  • LS generally fails on remaining metrics, except for Avg Days Below Initial
  • More frequent DCA is not always automatically better.

"Do we need an accumulation strategy that improves long-run survivability without giving up too much return?"

Deeper analysis coming…

probably ran out of money, guys. There’s a good chance he speeds up selling more STRC this week.
