Long-termism is never outdated in the crypto market; patience often yields the sweetest fruits.

I know an investor who has been steadily buying BNB since 2022. Back then, the market was volatile, and he experienced psychological fluctuations. But after several years of persistence, his returns have allowed him to let go of worries about the future. This story keeps recurring around me—different details, but similar endings—those who survive and continue to participate almost always profit.

People often ask me: Is it still worth holding BNB now? My view is that BNB is not a tool for "gambling," but an asset that can be "held long-term." True gains are not from a lucky bottom-fishing moment but from sticking to a seemingly simple strategy—dollar-cost averaging.

Today, I want to discuss three dollar-cost averaging strategies I personally use to help you get rid of anxiety over short-term fluctuations and focus on the long-term.

**Why BNB? First, you need to understand the logic**

Before starting dollar-cost averaging, you must know what you are investing in. BNB is no longer just a simple platform token.

Its core competitive advantage lies in its deflationary design. Regular buybacks and burn mechanisms directly affect the supply side—since its issuance in 2017, BNB's circulating supply has shrunk from 200 million to 139 million, with a final target of 100 million. The supply is decreasing, while the ecosystem on the demand side continues to expand—this logic is enough to support its value.

BNB's prospects are also tied to the growth of the entire ecosystem. From DeFi application support to participation mechanisms like Launchpool, holding it can unlock multiple additional income channels.

It is worth noting that traditional capital is also starting to take this kind of asset seriously. Some listed companies have already included it in their financial reserves, and participation from large asset management institutions is increasing. This institutional-level recognition has changed the nature of the market.

DCA BNB is indeed a way to make money if you stick with it for a long time. --- Honestly, it's a game of endurance. Whoever can last wins... I was also involved in the 2022 wave, and it was truly exhausting. --- I understand the deflationary logic, but we also need to be cautious about institutional entry—another new way to cut leeks. --- Diligently investing regularly sounds simple, but actually doing it is much harder... You really need a good mindset. --- This wave of BNB is indeed different, but don't idolize it—risks are still there. --- My friend bought in 2022, now he's bragging to me. I just want to ask, how long can he keep it up? --- Reducing the supply to 100 million tokens is a brilliant logic; the fundamentals can support it. --- Long-termism? Just listen; most people won't last that long. --- Is it still okay to enter now? Feels a bit late... --- Recognition from institutions definitely adds points, but retail investors still need to do their homework.

The logic of dollar-cost averaging sounds appealing, but sticking to it for three years is quite a test... However, the deflationary design does seem interesting; compressing the supply side while demand continues to rise is mathematically sound.

Hmm, the deflation mechanism needs to be examined carefully. Does the destruction volume truly change supply and demand? Let's look at the data—200 million to 139 million. Theoretically, there is indeed room for demand to grow, but this assumes that the ecosystem activity level keeps up.

Sounds good, but the key is whether you can make it to that day. Many people lose their mindset along the way due to losses.

Honestly, I've long understood the logic of dollar-cost averaging, but the problem is that most people simply can't stick to it and can't endure those days of sharp declines. Holding BNB over the past few years has been really satisfying, but it also depends on whether you can truly ignore the market. Many people talk about long-term holding, but as soon as there's a 20% drop, they start panicking. That's no fun. Deflationary design sounds good, but the supply side is always secondary. The key is whether there is a continuous inflow of funds; without new buyers, everything else is pointless. Institutional entry is definitely a plus, but don't take it as a guarantee of price increase. Institutions will also run away; no one is naive. I think there's nothing wrong with dollar-cost averaging into BNB, just be mentally prepared. Don't expect the price to skyrocket overnight; a steady and stable channel is the real way to make money.

Dollar-cost averaging is basically gambling on time... However, the deflationary logic of BNB this time is indeed somewhat solid, more reliable than simply betting on the price. Really, as long as you survive, you win. Too many people around me lost due to their mindset; the turmoil in 2022 was deadly.

Don't think about getting rich overnight by investing in BNB; you need to be patient and lay the foundation. Honestly, the guys who bought during that wave in 2022 are now the happiest. Supply has been decreasing, and demand is still increasing. This logic indeed holds up. BNB is no longer just a simple platform token; its ecosystem is so extensive, and institutions are stacking up, so not taking action now would be truly foolish. Hang in there, and you'll profit; there's nothing new about that. Long-term holding can indeed relieve the anxiety of watching the market every day, making it much easier. With this deflationary design, BNB plays it most authentically. There's still a chance to reach the 100 million token goal.
