The offering, as per a release, calls out Revolut users to smash the ‘recurring buy’ feature for Bitcoin on…you guessed it…Revolut’s app! It does come with a caution, however, “Remember to consider your personal circumstances before purchasing, as the price of crypto can be extremely volatile.”Cautions aside, the recurring buy feature allows users to automate buying crypto worth a fixed amount of fiat currency on a fixed schedule. For example, buying €200 worth of Bitcoin every week.Dollar-cost averaging as a Bitcoin strategyIn popular culture (such as graduate classes and the /biz section on 4chan), this is also referred to as ‘Dollar Cost Averaging’ and is popular with a lot of users as it averages out the daily volatility. “Most of our current users opt for a weekly recurring buy,” claims Revolut.To be eligible, users must purchase €10 worth of Bitcoin on the set-it-and-forget-it recurring buy feature. Then, there’s gonna be a magic draw (one that doesn’t use Chainlink’s verifiable randomness to ensure the pick is actually random) to pick a winner and award them the free Bitcoin.Meanwhile, Bitcoin, on its part, is seeing somewhat of a holiday fall. The asset fell 11% from over $19,300 to nearly $16,000 today, and is trading around $16,700 as of press time.
