For example, just last week, I realized I had a bunch of money sitting in my crypto exchange that I thought was in Bitcoin, so I traded it for Bitcoin. Now it's worth 80% as much.

If you buy a little every pay cheque automatically, without looking whether things are up or down, how much are you really "timing" versus simply investing? (Especially if you buy a globally diversified fund like VT.)
