Introducing the Bamboo DCA Report
We’re proud to introduce something we’ve been working towards for a long time: the first-ever Bamboo Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Report.
This isn’t a market wrap filled with hype. It’s a considered, long-form look at how everyday Australians are actually engaging with crypto and why slow, consistent investing continues to be one of the most effective ways to build long-term wealth.
Because after years of helping people start (and stick with) investing, one thing is clear: the best strategy is the one that fits into real life.
Why we created this report
Crypto has matured. The technology, the infrastructure, the conversations have all moved forward. But for everyday people, investing can still feel overwhelming as noisy headlines and complicated tools, instill a sense that you’ve either “missed it” or need to know everything before you begin.
But we believe differently.
At Bamboo, we witness first-hand the progress that comes from small, consistent actions repeated over time, which is why we've focused on Dollar Cost Averaging from day one and it’s why we wanted to create a report that reflects how investing actually works for real people.
This report exists to slow the conversation down, zoom out, and focus on what matters most.
What makes this report different
The Bamboo DCA Report is designed to be an easy read.
Inside, we explore:
How Australians are approaching crypto investing today
Why DCA mirrors behaviours many of us already use in daily life
The emotional drivers behind getting started (and staying consistent)
What long-term investing means when you think in years not weeks
Why future generations benefit most from steady, automated habits
Most of us already use forms of DCA without realising it:
Paying into super every pay cycle
Keeping a subscription you barely notice but use every day
Building routines that compound over time
DCA works for the same reason: it removes friction, emotion, and decision fatigue. It’s designed to run quietly in the background while you live your life.
That’s why this report repeatedly comes back to one idea: the best investing strategy is the one you don’t have to think about.
Built for beginners. Valuable for everyone.
Whether you’re brand new to crypto or someone who’s been watching from the sidelines, this report is meant to meet you where you are.
There’s no jargon, no assumption of prior knowledge, and no pressure to “time” anything perfectly. Just clear explanations, grounded data, and relatable examples that show how investing can be approachable, sustainable, and human.
It’s also a reflection of what we’ve learned after years of conversations through the Bamboo app, our community, and four years of hosting Australia’s #1 crypto news podcast 🌱
