These dips are good for two reasons

It allows people who haven't invested yet to invest

It brings awareness to the market, growing the potential investors

3. It removes the panic sellers(or weak hands) that posts "omg is bitcoin dead??" or something along those lines on whatever websites from the markets. Seriously, those people. *sigh*

Yeah, those dips are good for the cryptos and the investors who are new to this world. But, those fall downs can sometimes make many of the current investors mad, as they might lose most of their coins worth. Some of them sell their coins very low due to such panics and that results for them in losing their whole fortune in a single dice.

Those dips are highly useful for the whales who invest some good amount of money into the cryptos. They are the ones who make higher percentages of profits in long run. These times are amazing if someone is to invest, they could really earn some good $$$ in profits within few months.

Sometimes, those dips might remain for longer duration, but that wont make them permanent. It is much better to be patient in those times rather than being scared of losing your whole money.

I would agree that dips are good, because it revitalizes cryptomarket. When prices are going all the time up it's basically inflation that is not good. Dips show the real value of particular cryptocurrency and as it was mentioned it gathers investor's interest, especially those who didn't have enough money.

Yeah, amazing awareness with all the news shouting Bitcoin is down 50%.
Wonderful.


How many weak hand are still left?
Cause we have removed them for year and year and there are still thousands if not tens of thousands of them.

I don't think we can blame it to the weak hands and far more on the lack of buyers.
There was nobody buying. All the support walls evaporated in a matter of seconds , most of them retreating by 1k each time.

These dips are one hell of an emotional rollercoaster dude. I hate em' :(

Criptocurrency market is volatile new market. Dumps and pumps we can see at any market and it is the way people/criptocurrency exchanges earn money

weak hands exist on every market and especially in crypto.
Uneducated people who jumped on the crypto train without knowledge and just for profit are losing a lot of money because, without trusting the project it's just a matter of money invested and lost.

I completely agree with op it does give people new to crypto to get a foothold at a lower point. Yeah it does worry people but once they been through a couple they know what to do when it does dip.

It is a great oppurtunity to buy more when the market is on dip, some panics but the experts celebrates.

Another plus is that it is much better to have smaller crashes rather than one huge crash that completely destroys everything. Bitcoin has a lot of obstacles to go through this year, but man will it be amazing once LN comes. I really hope that it makes Bitcoin boom again.

Dips are good it give us opportunity to buy more coins and have profit in return. I'll do invest before the market crash last few days, what
I do is invest my remaining money to buy more coins and luckily it gives me profit for now. I'm now recovering for some losses and hopes to have more profit when the market recovers all from the big crash.

This is something I have been saying for the past six months. These markets went parabolic and this was destined to happen, it always does and always will in these situations. "This time is different", never holds true.

You mean buying in at say $17,000 and being washed out at $12,000 like lots of new "Investors"
have seen this month is good for the currency  :D

Good job that i was not "Buying on the dip" when Dot.CON went bust in 2000 and back in them
days no one would had paid $30 just to process 250 bytes of data like we are having to pay
miners today so any "potential investors" are going to run for the hills when they learn that hidden
secret.

Sure the "Lightning Network" is going to save us and make us rich again
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2776719.0
but competition from other alt-coins won't wait six to nine months and even if we ourselves wait
then we are going to be in for a disappointment and shock

Sure, I never said the weak hands will go to zero. And I'm definitely not blaming them on the crash, I'm just saying that dips like this causes some of them to get out.

You need to embrace the dips, mate. If you're planning on staying for long in the crypto universe, expect dips once in a while.

Yes we could buy more. This is a healthy correction in the following days bitcoin will pump and altcoins will follow so buy more and hold.

dips are perfectly healthy for uptrends as it removes weak hands and replaces them with determined buyers.

This. Thats why we didnt fall to 5k cause now we have strong hands to 10k, next strong support will be on 20k.

These dips for bitcoin is interesting knowing that it offers chance for new investors and additional investments as well. One thing is clear. After these dips is a big surge for bitcoin. Its just a matter of time when the demand rises.

These dips are only good for those who aren't holding any money in bitcoin. But as of now, bitcoin is regaining its momentum and ready to take the ride towards to uptrend once again.

How would you know this or is it just a gut feeling and have you seen BTC recover before now when the fees
have gone to the moon and are still 100 X too high

Yes it sure is different today and dropping 50% when the coin cost $0.50 is not the same market that is
being played today so just how do you know that the party is not over because unless you can answer
these questions then your puling it out of thin air.

Tulips kept going up until one day they didn't and i can see cracks in this theory of yours even if we ignore
miner fees and that is the network won't scale with a mere 7 transactions per second so you must be relying
on the lightning network to come to the rescue.

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2776719.0

Don't read if it upsets your religious believes that Bitcoin can only ever go upwards or take it that
I am just trying to help you and saw some hope in something you said.

Absolutely true. Dips gives opportunities to investors to invest in bitcoin. Also it gives lesson to those who are doing panic selling which they are now regretting because prices of coins are now pumping.  ;D

I liked your first reason that people who have not invested till now can invest now. Moreover, the people holding bitcoins can increase their holdings as well.

Exactly ..Its good for those who love to shop crypto coins during dip or red days.Then they will sell it during pump or green days.Decreasing its value sometimes just a bitcoin price correction.So buy low sell high.Thats how good dip days is.

A dip is good, volatility is not. All this does is provide an opportunity to make a profit on the ups and downs. It's the golden age for a trader.

Especially institutional investors. Hedge funds in particular like investments that are not correlated with their other investments (the essense of hedging) and only bitcoin appears to be moving independently, other assets like stocks and bonds have become correlated.

During dips in crypto, the market is being cleansed of those who have weak hands and panic sellers. Certain times like this, FUD will be all over mainstream media and raising awareness to some that crypto is dying. But, after all the bloodbath, market will recover stronger than ever, because crypto is here to stay and is shaping the future financial system.

As a newbie this is my first time experiencing the HODL during the dip instead of panic selling then carefully calculating when the best entry point is to come with new money. I am very glad I did, even though I did not hit the bottom. It was a learning experience - and I hope I will continue to learn the psychology of the market and have strong hands.

Yea dips or good and bad, bitcoin dips happen every
year I heard so far, when bitcoin gets low in price value
allot of users get the change to buy bitcoin at a low price.

It's all healthy and needed now sit back and watch it shoot up.. If you weren't one of those with weak hands and panic sold ;)

I think it is good for old bounty hunters. Because new ones moving away from this kind of small profits. So, the place is ours :) But for investors, new ones, this is good as you say.

dips are good, if you religiously believe, that prices will bounce back. BTC is a bit unique. 
It's still a growing technology. So there's still hope the prices would skyrocket.

Yes dips are good for crypto and those who missed the opportunity earlier when bitcoin price was less but market is giving chance again to invest. Certainly new investor will also be interested or excited now to invest in bitcoin or altcoin because it is the right time for investor to enter in the market and apart from this old players will also wait for such dip to invest more in crypto.

the decline in bitcoin prices is currently very profitable for investors.
many people are trying to invest in bitcoin because the price of bitcoin is falling dramatically, they hope one day bitcoin will rise even higher.

Dips make the balance of market. But everyone is just panic and dump their coin because FUD news. Every year bitcoin have a Dip either at the beginning of the year or middle, and give a chance to buy bitcoin for who doesn't have single bitcoin. Bank is afraid to Bitcoin because they don't want lose their costumer and go to Bitcoin and Bank doesn't have asset for give a loan for someone and get money. We need a freedom and Bitcoin is the answer In my Opinion

Yesterday/day before created one of the best dips in the market,and the recovery,need I mention about it? The markets were down by like 40% for all cryptos and today morning the markets had gone up by 40% and still rising. Bitcoin and Ripple were the best. Bitcoin dropped till ~9500$ and Ripple had dropped till ~0.90 $ and it went to like 1.65$ today. That's almost a 83% profit in a day.
Btw,growing the potential investors? Nah. It doesn't. More and more panic sellers and dumbasses appear in the markets nowadays,like it or not. You know who is buying bitcoin,its for one the whales,two are the users who trade in significant but not so great amounts and small petty investors who are new to the market. Others,they are just waiting for bitcoin to drop to $3,000 and are living in their own dreams.

Agreed, dips alway give us the chance to buy more coins before the price go up again.

Sadly, people will never understand this.. They only expect to buy 0.01 bitcoins and then they expect to see it rising towards $100000000 in order to be extra-multi-millionaires with that amount of bitcoins.
And i am not the only one telling you this, this is the real fucking truth, everybody is in here only for money purposes, and everybody is trying to catch money in here.

If the price decreases = it is the end of the world.
If the price goes up = Bitcoin / the new world order + revolution + I love bitcoin.

Yeah good points there. Dip also make investors realize that bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme.

Yeah I would agree dips are really good for crypto currencies because it gives opportunity for investment and I think because of what is happening now surely many holders do panic selling which will result to availability of supply of bitcoin in the circulation with this distribution of crypto would be made much wider and probably a good preparation for upcoming pump in bitcoin value soon I would love seeing bitcoin value start to pump again and let people get good earnings.

More importantly it redistributes coins, which ultimately is only good for btc.

Old weak hands go, new weak hands come. This will continue until Bitcoin will mature and the market will get less volatile, so only professional traders will stay, while average users will just use it as money and enjoy some long-term deflationary gains.
The (temporary) lack of buyers is caused by the fact that the market is very uncertain - some people believe that Bitcoin is a bubble or overpriced, so they wait for it to go lower, but others, especially hodlers, believe that it will go to the moon, so they don't sell and the market doesn't crash do the ground. The result of this two opposing forces is huge volatility, since most of the traders are either speculators or noobs with weak hands.

I know it is not good to see that our investment is losing its value because of the dips. But let us think of it in positive way. Dip markets means opportunity. An opportunity to buy in dips those coins that we know have a potential in the coming years.

This is not dip, I think $10K is very high price, if you buy at $20K it is your problem. $5-10-20K all are high to me, btc can fluctuate between $5K- $20k

Just don't overdo it. When you buy on top and the price starts to fall down sharply you shouldn't hesitate to sell. Hodling is great once you got an established position that can't be undermined. For instance, I'm currently holding some BTC that costed me 700 USD per coin which makes it an easy job. I wouldn't hesitate to sell though if the price went below 800 USD. You can handle missing the train but you should never allow yourself to go broke.

Good points, I agree on these and I can't believe there are still people thinking that crypto is done already  :D
or maybe they are just spreading fuds to make it more dump, well for me it is a chance for everybody to have a sure profit for the future  ;D

It is necessary 100% because if there was no dips these markets would be rigged and therefore wouldn't be a proper market. Also lets not forget that we need to shake out the weak hands if we want to go higher and that is probably what happened these past few days we got rid of weaker hands and hopefully higher here we come  ;).

The dips are a good thing as it show that bitcoin is not just about price going up like some ponzi scheme. It's bound by the laws of supply and demand. That's why people still believe in it.

Dips makes you stop wishing for price to become low because the time has come. Make use of every dip effectively and you'd be glad you did in the long run.

Come on lets be honest - we hate dips and fear that each new big dip could be the one that destroys crypto. Then it recovers and we all become wise again!

yes I agree with you dips are an essential part of the market to get more people involved as well.

yes agree, give the opportunity for someone who has not bought and give patience to the holder, if bitcoin and altcoin price does not go down even strange, because the price will not always stable, this is normal, but the average person will feel frustrated

And yes along with that it also gives some serious heart attacks to the faint hearted people who had invested in cryptos :P :D  But on a serious note yes they do give up some good bump to the market. Like market fell down by 50% in these two days and today most of the coins are up by 50% already they will be back to break even within a day or two. So these dips give chance to coins to touch their new all time highs. As you remember last time when BTC went from 5k to 3k and then leaped over 10k and reached 19k in just a month.

The market corrected really good for a day and it recovered really fast ,I expected the market to go down further but the market is recovering pretty fast when ever the entire market goes down completely ,I would like to see the correction to last for some time  ;D the fact remains that if you are able to take risk you can make gòod profits .

It's good for people who is just getting in crypto, so they can buy cheap. But for overall market it's good to be adjusted. It make epople believe in certain coin if value helf for few months rather than going up and down.

Dips are good for those who intends to add more from what they already have.  It's always good to buy low and sell high.

yes of course, deep are good because after that the value is more organic.

Yes more less when all the numbers go red, is only good thing. time to buy, opportunity to buy again
if the numbers kept going up then that be an issue
balance is key

I do not think it is good or bad it just is, we cannot change the way the market works, any market goes up and down and bitcoin is a new emergent market and it is also a currency with a limited supply so when you add all of that together then you the recipe for something that is really unstable, so there is not much we can do but to try to take advantage of this the best we can.

Dips are good for crypto but we never know in bloodbath which is dip when u buy still it fall

At the same time stocks that are in the market dropped 50% in the past two days and today most of the coins are up by 50% in the market will already be split in a day or two. Thus, this decrease allows coins to touch the highest price levels for their coins. As you remember last time when BTC went from 5k to 3k and then went up more than 10k and reached 19k in just a month. From that too you benefit for something that's really unstable, so there's not much we can do but try to make the best of it.

Volatility is welcome because it allows more investors to enter the market when it is low and consequently the market will also rise again later. In addition, no asset can go up indefinitely, it is healthy for it to fall a little, test supports and resistances so that it rises harder and so that a bubble is not formed.

If you have a lot invested already then dips are not good for you but they are good for a newbie.

Yes, dips is very good for crypto. It attracts more investors both older and new investors.

Another drop is good because it showed that the cryptocurrency is not an infinite growth and that you need to make your investments smart and carefully. I think after such a sufficiently deep fall from the market will leave superfluous people.

Well yes. For example December was too good month, everything was rising, but this kind of situation always brings correction. It is like lifecycle but moneycycle :D

Yes, price crash during the specific intervals of time helps the commodity to grow in a more sustainable manner. When it comes to the wild world of cryptocurrency, it becomes much more necessary to stabilize the chaotic environment in the market. Believe me on this but the artificial rise in the market price is dangerous for Bitcoin itself. It acts against the growth of it in in the long run.

I like the dips, I just wish I had more money I could invest, so many coins I want to buy right now while they’re cheap, I’ve set my limit though so I need to stick to it, can easily get out of hand if not.

In the place of panic-workers, new panic-strikers will come. But similar jumps of courses allow to earn money to other traders and holding companies. Perhaps the miners will reflect on the implementation of Segweet that at a low cost of bitcoin it is quite possible.

Dips are good for crypto because it is an avenue for investment by new investors and also re investment for old  investors. The price as at last year  December 2017, before the  price came down the dip, have been considered by many new investors as been high, and in a situation where it is now  low in Price value, investment opportunity should be taken as an  advantage and invest into Bitcoin maximally. As this  type of opportunity may never occur again. The holders of bitcoins can also add to the number of Bitcoin they have.This will erase panic and cause many holders to know that dips are good for Crypto. and also prepare the minds of others for investment during this period.

Oh you mean the none believing heathens I'm with you in that. I'm not even worried. It's not even a thing.

You have to be patient and that who are not will never win. It is scary and fear does Sino in but we must not out it take control. My faith in bitcoin out weighs my fears.

Bitcoin forever!!!

I agree with you. This is a good chance for new people to invest, and I also think that it is specially done so that the right people can buy even more currency.

Yeah dips are good and bad as well for crypto.
good in the scenes that new investors will come Keeping these ups and down in mind and invest so Crypto will expand.
now keeping in mind that many of people are holding their money in crypto so dips are realy bad for them and for crypto too.

dips are good only if you lan on buying cryptocurrency using fiat money. As bitcoin value goes down, all other coins follow, so it makes absolutely no change at all if the market dips and you just want to trade some BTC for an altcoin or vice versa

Dips are normal in any market whether it is crypto or stock or forex. It gives you opportunity to buy or enter a market at a lower price.

But others sees this differently, that is why it creates fud not an opportunity.

The dips are breathing space for investors who yet to invest in crypto since they can buy low and wait for the price to go high in order to sell or hold a bit longer for better profit.

Yes, In general I agree, that corrections are good.
But oneof my speculations are that this crrection could be just a shoulder of buuble bursting if one compares them charts of silver bubble / dot.com bubble bursting it is clear that our bubble has bursted.

In the same time I hope that this is not true.

Seems to happen this way at the beginning of each year.

I think there will be another bitcoin and alt surge within the next couple months. Maybe even sooner considering all the new money that has been entering the market.

I encouraged some of my friends to invest in btc and they did, looking forward for a good result days or weeks from now. Well they prefer to be a long term hodler.

True and its good because it has something to do with the value.

Yes, those who dont have guts when the value is in dips are better invest their money in something else.

That is true. Dips like the last one really did show the difference between those who have "knowledge" about cryptocurrencies ability to bounce back, from amateurs with weak hands and weak heart. A lot of panic sellers sold their coins at a very low price in fear of losing all their money, when in fact that it is the time that they should hold it tighter. The market is a huge casino and only if you had played before will you be able to see the pattern of the game and decide when to hold and to sell.

If you understand the fundamentals for the coins you're investing in, you should be able to separate the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) claims against the truth, and that the Cryptos should continue to march forward regardless of what's thrown its way. There will be speed bumps along the way which may slow progression, but in the long run, the Blockchain technology will prevail. So buy the dips.

Yes, dips are good if you are not a weak hand. I have seen many people who invested money in crypto for first time in December- January losing their money and panicking spreading even more FUD. It depends on what boat you are on. But overall dips are good and necessary in any market. Not all people make money in cryptos.

This is my most-watched event in crypto. I'm glad I had easily catched some fish in the latest dip and now that the market is recovering, I wonder how are those panic-sellers feeling right now?

I agree with if you look it in a positive way, you can make a profit out of it, this is the best time to buy when there is a dip especially if the coin is good and had a good roadmap ahead, I always look for a dip in a good coin, it's like investing in their ico stage.

It's really an opportunity but the dips give other people or possible investors a perception that its price going to dive more or it's over so very less people will do and most are seasoned traders.

Dip is 10%-20%
60% it's crash

But sometimes it also scares people as the price is dropping.

Yep. I agree with you.

With the DIP people can easily invest in some coins which they haven't. And also help some people to buy more the same coins as they hold.

And for the awarness, It can also help the panic-seller to learn their mistakes about the coins they sold when it was on the DIP.

You are definitely right, mate. Its okay for the investor to hold it for long term but in trading we should always put some stop or cut loss to prevent more losses.

For me it is indeed an advantage to people, just like what you have said.  Because of these dips, people have the opportunity to invest in bitcoin.  It likewise gives us more time to reflect and at the same time gives more attention to people.

I find dips good even if I have invested a lot already. Even though my portfolio value decreases I still invest and buy more since I know coin price will boom ultimately. I only invest in good coins only. Also, I only buy when there is a flash crash or something like that. Usually, have bids placed at lower values to catch the coin in dip. Never been wrong till now.

But many times the dips are big and it takes time for good coins value to rise. Many investors get scared because of this.
