It is always the same in Bitcoinland. What matters in the end is if you have today more bitcoins than yesterday. Why can't people learn?
I doubt that the matter is the same for everyone.
Each person has different circumstances, and should be attempting to figure out his/her own circumstances in respect to bitcoin and how much of a stash to accumulate and then maintain.
Of course, the number of bitcoiners do seem to be growing, so a few years ago, I used to assume that the number of bitcoin HODLers was for sure less than 70 million people, so less than 1% of the world's population.
I have been hearing all kind of estimates that seem to double or triple the previous number, and so for sure, even if we go with the larger number of 210 million people (which would be 3% of the world's population), we are surely going to be arriving at average bitcoin stashes that are pretty damned low, so no way am I opposed to your assertion (becoin) that accumulating bitcoin is a damned great goal, especially for 97% or so of the world's population; however, those of us who have been in bitcoin for a decently long time may well either be overly allocated or have circumstances in which we are surely not harmed by shaving off some of our stash at various points.
If we go by your forum registration date, becoin, we should be able to assess that you are no newbie to bitcoin accumulation, so in that regard, I would not expect you to be feeling any kind of desperate need to accumulate more bitcoin on a daily basis and no matter what the BTC price actions.
And sure, don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with buying BTC on a price dip, and our being down 24% from $53k to $40,193 is no small amount down, and even if we calculate from our ATH ($64,895), we get a correction of around 38%, so sure maybe pick up some more sats, but would it not really be optional to pick up sats or not when your BTC holdings should be presumably already in decent profits... perhaps? perhaps?
If your average cost per coin happens to be $100, then maybe it would not matter if you are selling or shaving off some coin at 650x profits versus 470x profits or some lower amount of profits - even 286x profits when our BTC prices got down to $28,600. I even have those kinds of feelings when I am using my average cost per BTC to be around $1k per coin, so the profit levels will be greater for guys (and gal) who happen to have lower costs per coin.
Now if you happen to be like one of our regular WO members here who ONLY bought 20 BTC back in 2011 and you have been sitting on your stash the whole time and not sufficiently increasing it, then yeah, you might be in a situation where you should have bought more BTC along the way, even if it were to have brought up your cost per BTC and you would still be needing to feel urgency in buying on these dip levels and on a personal level needing to accumulate more BTC.
Even withe some one like me, I have spread my buy /sell intervals (and my spreads too) out quite a bit over the years, but my buy orders are still triggering - even though it takes greater percentages of BTC price moves for my buy orders to trigger.
