# Example of using Littlebit

Based on the historical development of Bitcoin’s value, we can make the following example to demonstrate the benefits of using the BitDCA application. This example shows a user who spends $625 per month with his card at various merchants. Thanks to Littlebit, this user would have saved $2,994 over 8 years and the value of this investment would have reached $30,092. That is an appreciation of +905% in 8 years.
