Zcash DCA path

Historical context for Zcash DCA

2016 is a privacy-coin scenario, where historical returns can be shaped by market cycles, liquidity and regulatory sentiment. It is especially important to compare the result with more liquid assets.

DCA pages are different from single-buy pages because the user is asking about repeated behavior over time. The important outputs are total invested, token amount, average buy price, latest estimated value and whether the path reduced timing concentration.

Best and worst moments

At the final accumulated token amount, the highest cached value in this window was about $323,494 on 2016-10-31. The deepest peak-to-trough drawdown in the underlying ZEC price path was roughly -98.7% around 2024-06-30.

How this DCA result is calculated

Lamppoli divides each monthly contribution by the monthly close price, sums the estimated token amount and values it at the latest cached price.

value today = sum(monthly contribution / monthly price) * latest price

average buy price = total invested / token amount

The calculation does not include taxes, fees, spreads, slippage, wallet costs or staking yield.
