When setting up multiple lines in crontab, repeating $(command -v docker) run --rm --env-file=/home/bob/.bitcoin-dca ghcr.io/jorijn/bitcoin-dca:latest [arguments...] is annoying and error prone.

Proposed solution
I'd recommend to add to the Tips section of the docs file cron examples how to create a shell script file to reference in the crontab and pass the arguments from the crontab to this shellscript.

I'm liking this idea. Thanks! I will pick it up when I have some time. If anyone wants to do this in the meantime, please! :)
