Seeking Advice: Is Investing via DCA in 80% Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) and 20% MSCI USA Small Cap Value Weighted (European ETF) sensible for Long-Term

Hey fellow Redditors,
I'm in my mid-twenties, adventurous when it comes to risks, and planning to invest for more than 20 years. I've been doing some research on investment strategies, and I'm considering using the Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) approach to build my portfolio.
I have a particular allocation in mind: 80% in Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) and 20% in MSCI USA Small Cap Value Weighted (European ETF).
My rationale behind this allocation is to have a significant portion in the tech sector, which has shown tremendous growth potential over the years. At the same time, I want to diversify my portfolio by including small-cap companies that have the potential for substantial growth in the long run.
Considering my risk appetite and long-term investment horizon, I believe this allocation could provide a good balance between potential returns and diversification. However, I wanted to reach out to the Reddit community to get your thoughts and insights on this investment strategy.
Do you think investing via DCA with an 80% allocation in Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) and 20% in MSCI USA Small Cap Value Weighted (European ETF) is a sensible approach for long-term growth? Are there any potential drawbacks or other considerations I should be aware of?
I greatly appreciate any advice, personal experiences, or alternative suggestions you might have. Let's have a fruitful discussion and help each other make informed investment decisions!
