Buy the DIP, and HODL!

[Promocodeudo]

In fact it is never wise to buy a dip or wait for the right time. Those who wait to buy a dip will never find the right time, so they will fail to invest. There are many stories in the past, those who have waited for prices to fall have failed to invest and are currently regretting it. Now it is better to buy bitcoin at a low price but you should not wait for the price to fall, because if you buy bitcoins with DCA strategy you can buy bitcoins at an average price. So there's no need to wait to buy the dip, the longer you delay the more you fall behind. So if you have a long-term plan, don't wait but it's wise to start investing using DCA strategies. And if you continue to invest consistently in the DCA strategy and if the market goes down while investing, you can take advantage of the opportunity to buy dip.

Good understanding you got here, you know some are never serious with anything so the keep giving excuses as if there's a fixed period t buy Bitcoin, with my understanding about humans, some of those people that said they are waiting for the dip to buy Bitcoin, if we monitor them closely, we will be surprised to know that might not even buy anything, they just say all those things so that people will see them as intending investors that are preparing to buy, I get pissed with those silly talks, although I understand that everyone has there decisions to make but whats the need for anyone to wait till the dip before they can buy when they can actually start up by DCAing consistently with what they can afford and may be buy higher during the dip, this has been said here countless times, people should just think wise before they'll start saying had I known.

This should be the mindset of any serious investor that anywhere or any price you meet bitcoin is the dip and you should buy as you can afford, and not entertaining the thoughts of any further dips. If you continue with this mindset you are definitely going to have a good amount of bitcoin stash in your portfolio. And you will hardly miss out on opportunities. So anyone who is still waiting and not buying is not doing himself any good.

That is how it is supposed to be, and this is what people need to understand: you don't wait for dips; you buy immediately when you can afford to buy. If the price of Bitcoin goes down, it is an opportunity to buy more Bitcoin.
The ideal thing to do is to first buy, and since Bitcoin is a continuous investment, it is necessary to buy more. You will definitely meet the dip again; there is no need to wait for the dip when you haven't bought Bitcoin.

Those who wait for the dip don't invest long-term because they only make their decisions based on the volatility of Bitcoin. If the prices don't fall, they don't buy, and if they buy and the price of Bitcoin goes down, they sell their Bitcoin because of the fall in the price of Bitcoin.

That's fair. Direct ownership may indeed be very important to some people but not so much to others.  I think it likely depends on which country the person lives, their current wealth and debt, living standards and their job and income situation. For instance, some can easily withstand some inflation, while others may fear seizure of property or assets.      

What really matters is the investor identifying that he has discretionary income present and being practical about his involvement into Bitcoin by buying and holding.

Direct ownership should be important to everyone because when you hold y your coins in a centralized scheme, then you cannot lay total claim to such coins since it's at the behest of those managing it. Self custody is the best, that's the real intention of creating Bitcoin, to make us in charge of our finances and free from centralized control and it's very important to note that " Not your keys, Not your coins"

This thread is about bitcoin, and if you provide a link to some other thread, then no problem providing that here.. but we should not be getting into the weeds of comparing and/or contrasting the owning of bitcoin to various derivative products (including BTC ETF products) in this thread.

Getting into too much discussion of BTC ETFs and/or comparing them to bitcoin might be deserving of another thread, to the extent that threads already exist related to such topics.

JJG, here ya go (see below) with a link to a thread titled 'View about Investors of Spot Bitcoin ETFs' about spot Bitcoin ETFs!

You (and others) might want to start reading the above thread from the beginning (the original post) to grasp the full view of everyone that posted in the thread...as of now it only has 40 posts so it's easy to read it all.  Enjoy!  

Recently Blackrock bought 1,869 BTC. Those 1,869 BTC are to cover shares of their spot Bitcoin ETF (Ticker IBIT) that investors are eagerly adding to brokerage accounts.

The same thing is going on at Fidelity as investors buy their spot Bitcoin ETF (Ticker FBTC). These spot Bitcoin ETFs are helping to improve both retail and institutional adoption of Bitcoin and that increases the price of Bitcoin, which is exactly what all of us want!      

BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC exchange-traded-funds combined account for 2.5% of the total Bitcoin supply, representing over $30 billion. Recently, Blackrock held 347,766.96 BTC, worth $20.32 billion to cover their IBIT - and Fidelity held about half that much to cover their FBTC.  

I feel that you don't understand what JJG is saying above. This thread is about individual investors buying and hodli bitcoin for their future as the keep their buying purchases ongoing overtime.

You are here talking about Bitcoin ETFs who came into the game to make quick profits by trading or don't you know that they are the highest traders in history and this thread does not support trading but long-term investment and holdi.

ETFs are already big institutions who are buying and selling bitcoin every day and that shouldn't be a lifestyle to imitate. If you have not started your bitcoin investment, I expect you to learn a lot from this thread and make a proper plan to start your bitcoin investment whenever your discretionary income is available and build your bitcoin portfolio for the future through DCA regular weekly purchases for 4-10 years and above.

If you don't invest early, and choose to be waiting, you will regret your actions in future. ETFs are already rich and making more, so you need to eat your own bitcoin cake by investing and hodli for the future. If you are buying from ETF remember that you are only buying the value of bitcoin and not real bitcoin that should be in your noncustodial wallet.

Dividing your investment into 3 and invest one part of it into Bitcoin is very wrong and it is not advisable to do that, what is advisable to use for our Bitcoin investment is 5-10 percent of our income depending because some persons have several source of income and so they can decide to use more than 10 percent from one of their source of income to invest. This 5-10 percent I'm talking about should be what one can be able to let go because Bitcoin investment is a long term investment that is if you actually want to get a good result or outcome from your investment because if you hold for long, your output will always be greater than your input.

If not for the fate that it is be better more to be a low coiner than to be a no coiner allocating only 5-10% of your income to invest in Bitcoin is too poor for me it is assume that you are scared to invest in bitcoin.
Bitcoin is not shitcoins if it's shitcoins you want to invest then i will advise to only use 5-10 % of your income since they are not to be trusted for there is possiblity that it can dump to nothing but i don't believe that Bitcoin can go to zero or even go below 60$.

It is not wrong if an investor decides to allocate 5-10 percent of his/her income for Bitcoin investment because you do not know how big the income of the investor is, or the 5-10 percent the investor decides to allocate for Bitcoin investment could be what the investor can possibly afford to invest in Bitcoin so that he/she will not go out of the game. Even if Bitcoin isn't a shitcoin, since Bitcoin is a long term investment, it is always advisable and important for investors to accumulate Bitcoin within their discretionary income even if the discretionary income is $10 so they can hold their Bitcoin investment for a long term.

Exactly, the ability for an investor to invest with what they can afford or with a cent that is convenient for them which is been gotten from their income as a discretionary is cool. The reason why some investor sell off or have issues in their investment is because of inability to locate or figure out a cent that will be comfortable for them in accumulating Bitcoin and trust me once this mistake is been made, there investment will be in state of either selling or panicking so we should rush Bitcoin investment and we should not carry it out as if we are competing with someone by using what is beyond required.

Any investor that has discretionary income readily available to invest in Bitcoin, but choose to start accumulating Bitcoin when Bitcoin is in a dip, just know that investor is not ready to invest in Bitcoin, because i don't know why people will want to start accumulating Bitcoin in a price that's not realistic. Just as you said, it is better for people who think that Bitcoin is too high for them to accumulate to start accumulating Bitcoin by DCAing because they stand a good chance of accumulating good quantity of Bitcoin, and if a dip occur, they can still accumulating Bitcoin, which is a bonus to them.

@Sim_card - FYI, I have no intention of selling or trading the fairly sizable amount of spot Bitcoin ETF I currently own (that is equal in price to over 5BTC) for at least 15 years, and I will likely add more. I'm not a beginner investor with 8-digits of investment I self-manage! I don't need you trying to tell me what I should do. I'm fully capable of managing my finances and investments, I strongly suspect much better than you!  

Good luck to you investing your 'discretionary income' as you feel is best!

Waiting for the right dip can easily become a trap because no one can predict market levels with certainty. dollar averaging not only removes the stress of timing the market but also helps you build your position steadily, it is all about consistency and patience. starting early and sticking with the plan beats trying to time every move, as volatile Bitcoin is. great reminder  to focus on the long game rather than chasing dips

The truth is dips always sound easier in theory than in practice. When the price falls, fear usually grows, and many of the same people who said they were waiting for a dip still hesitate to act. That’s why building a habit through DCA is more reliable because it takes emotion out of the process. If the market gives you lower prices, you benefit by adding more, but if not, you’re still moving forward instead of standing on the sidelines.

[Lembo69]

You can always buy Bitcoin deep using only the DCA strategy. There are enough opportunities and enough suitable times to invest in Bitcoin, but those who are waiting for the purpose of buying deep and are waiting, I think they are definitely doing something stupid. Because to be financially independent in the future, you should invest in Bitcoin quickly enough, because you will have thoughts on how to make more money in Bitcoin investment.

In fact it is never wise to buy a dip or wait for the right time. Those who wait to buy a dip will never find the right time, so they will fail to invest. There are many stories in the past, those who have waited for prices to fall have failed to invest and are currently regretting it. Now it is better to buy bitcoin at a low price but you should not wait for the price to fall, because if you buy bitcoins with DCA strategy you can buy bitcoins at an average price. So there's no need to wait to buy the dip, the longer you delay the more you fall behind. So if you have a long-term plan, don't wait but it's wise to start investing using DCA strategies. And if you continue to invest consistently in the DCA strategy and if the market goes down while investing, you can take advantage of the opportunity to buy dip.

Currently, most investors wait for the dip. And by doing this, they lose the opportunity to buy investments. You have to buy whatever the market price is, whether it is low or high. But if you wait for the dip only once, then maybe you will not invest while waiting for the dip. Currently, Bitcoin is known as the best currency in the world. Many companies are investing in Bitcoin through shares. Again, ordinary people like us are also investing. There is almost competition to catch up. So if you wait for the dip, you may not get the opportunity to buy anymore.

So if you have the will to invest, start now. Keep buying investments weekly or monthly through the DCA strategy. And invest for the long term. Don't lose the opportunity to buy by waiting for the dip

That is the important point because, in the end, when someone prefers bitcoin and uses it as a longterm investment, we should not feel that this is the end of everything because, after all, what is happening now is only a correction, and it is quite natural for it to bounce back to a higher value because it would not be reasonable if we only expected an increase without considering the risks because this kind of thing is difficult to predict. to happen.

Bitcoin volatility is normal, and we must be prepared for it if we want to be in bitcoin because it is a natural process of bitcoin, where volatility is a unique feature of bitcoin itself, and there is no need to be afraid of it when our goal is longterm. Unless, as we discussed earlier, you are a trader or someone who monitors the daily candles, then this might be a cause for concern. Therefore, I would recommend that if you are focused on longterm goals, avoid looking too closely at daily candles or even hourly candles, as this will only lead to overthinking.

Because corrections are part of every cycle, it makes little sense to treat them as the end of the story. If someone chooses Bitcoin as a long term investment, then what we are seeing now is simply a phase that has repeated many times before. Expecting only upward movement without any pullbacks would ignore the very nature of a scarce and free market asset.

Volatility has always been part of Bitcoin, and instead of being a weakness, it is a feature that shakes out short term thinkers and rewards those who can hold through uncertainty. Even if the price moves sharply in the short run, history shows that those who looked beyond the daily noise ended up in a stronger position than those who reacted emotionally.

Perhaps the healthier approach for long term investors is to step back from constant chart watching. Hourly and daily candles invite unnecessary stress, while focusing on the bigger picture makes volatility easier to handle. In the end, the mindset of patience and conviction is what separates hodlers from traders, and that is why corrections are better seen as natural pauses rather than threats.

But in reality, there are still many people who are quite confused about their investments because, looking at what is happening, there are many who say that they are investing for the long term but instead appear panicked and fearful when faced with corrections that are not significant, such as when yesterday's decline occurred, where $124k corrected to $110k. Sometimes, not a few of them say that this is the end, even though we have often experienced things like this. and it shouldn't be a big deal if we don't overreact.

Worry is a normal condition because it is natural for us, but we need to realize that excessive worry will only make you inconsistent in determining your attitude, which in turn weakens your self-defense in your beliefs. I think there are many examples of people who left Bitcoin due to panic, which ended in regret because when we let go of our assets, they will definitely be lost and we can no longer regain them.

If the market gives you lower prices, you benefit by adding more, but if not, you’re still moving forward instead of standing on the sidelines.

That is why instead of always waiting to buy, just buy without worrying about the price, the result of waiting will always be negative, so instead of such thoughts, if you can only maintain a consistent buying tendency, then you will be able to profit. Those who can buy regularly never worry about market fluctuations, and due to this tendency they can grow their holdings at an average price, so do not worry too much about this natural volatility and just keep buying consistently, this consistency ultimately makes the investment more stable and effective.

First of all may I inform you that there is nothing like the right dips in Bitcoin and so waiting for it, is an absolute waste of time and will lead to continuous procrastination because the dip won't get to the point they will wish it to get to. If someone can actually accumulate little by little and prepare for dip what is now the essence of not investing and waiting for dip first?  It is total ignorant because someone who understands that Bitcoin is not an asset you can monitor or wait for a perfect time will keep on investing.

I think if you want to approach the dip it’s quite easy considering that you are not waiting for an unprecedented dip, we know that it’s quite simple to buy bitcoin through DCA with as little money that we have available, and from my experience of buying bitcoin sometimes I’ve also tried to front load my bitcoin by buying through the lump sum when I have some more discretionary available, and I’m not just constant with accumulating only through the DCA, like I always say if we have more money available and I want to buy during a dip, I have to make an approach by saving some money aside considering when the dip comes so I can buy massively and that still doesn’t stop me from buying on a regular basis.

Considering your statement, I’m a little bit confused because I don’t think there is anything such as the right dip, because from my understanding and experience of buying and investing in bitcoin a dip is a dip, and the most annoying part of this conversation is that it gets horribly bad when an investor tends to be waiting for an unprecedented price drop, because in the bitcoin market there is so much uncertainty, which is why I would so much love to buy bitcoin through the DCA mostly on a consistent cycle, and if at anytime a dip happens well I can still take advantage of the situation and even buy more bitcoin into my portfolio.

What other asset is worth investing into that you can use very little amount of to buy that is promising in future if not only bitcoin. This is what I keep on asking myself which is the reason to why I don't see why anyone should panic if the price of bitcoin is below their entry point. When you panic and sell, what will you use the money for that will give you good profit like bitcoin in the long term. A lot of people that panic and sell are not investing with the right mentality and concepts which is why they're making the wrong moves at the wrong time.

Whoever doesn't have the confidence in bitcoin should invest with very little amount of money from his discretionary income as low as $10 and above for the first two years while he learn along side as his invest. I believe that as he continue investing, he will learn more and have experience on how bitcoin works and that will increase his confidence in bitcoin. When he has gotten the full confidence, he can decide to increase his DCA amount and invest aggressively.

So there's no need to wait to buy the dip, the longer you delay the more you fall behind. So if you have a long-term plan, don't wait but it's wise to start investing using DCA strategies. And if you continue to invest consistently in the DCA strategy and if the market goes down while investing, you can take advantage of the opportunity to buy dip.

Good understanding you got here, you know some are never serious with anything so the keep giving excuses as if there's a fixed period t buy Bitcoin, with my understanding about humans, some of those people that said they are waiting for the dip to buy Bitcoin, if we monitor them closely, we will be surprised to know that might not even buy anything, they just say all those things so that people will see them as intending investors that are preparing to buy, I get pissed with those silly talks, although I understand that everyone has there decisions to make but whats the need for anyone to wait till the dip before they can buy when they can actually start up by DCAing consistently with what they can afford and may be buy higher during the dip, this has been said here countless times, people should just think wise before they'll start saying had I known.

Exactly, the most used trap is waiting until one gets a perfect dip and it usually becomes a self fulfilling obstacle. In unstable markets like Bitcoin there is almost always an excuse to wait until prices fall, someone sees a bad news storey, or they become convinced that the market will collapse further. The thing is that there could be hardly any perfect time, and making efforts to seek it may mean losing years of development.
Psychologically, individuals who say they are waiting on the dip simply talk with themselves into not doing anything. Looking at the market, you will find that a great number of them do not follow through. DCA is action-oriented, habit forming, and guarantees the exposure with time. Actual cases of early adopters who did not wait to get to the bottom of the perfect list and are now reaping huge rewards.

The overall lesson is that time shows that long-term investors are better off with regular and disciplined investments than with timing the market. Biding time until the dip seems like a clever approach to things, but in reality, more opportunities are usually missed. DCA converts uncertainty to a pragmatic approach.

Waiting for the right dip can easily become a trap because no one can predict market levels with certainty. dollar averaging not only removes the stress of timing the market but also helps you build your position steadily, it is all about consistency and patience. starting early and sticking with the plan beats trying to time every move, as volatile Bitcoin is. great reminder  to focus on the long game rather than chasing dips

Did you just say the right, does such exist anywhere, dude I think you shouldn't get things twisted, dip is dip and waiting for it has to be frown at, I concur to the very point where you single out the benefits of DCA, well said on that spot but why did you get it wrong from the very statement you made? Since I understand that we are all learning and you're a newbie also I won't blame you much because you might missing some point, however, I want you to stick to the point that right dip has no place in Bitcoin investment I will only give you heads up that alone, am ok with other statements you made but hope you have started doing the needful? If you've not then you should, it is very nice for us to practice what we teach you never can tel, it might trigger other people to start doing the needful too

I feel that you don't understand what JJG is saying above. This thread is about individual investors buying and hodli bitcoin for their future as the keep their buying purchases ongoing overtime.

You are here talking about Bitcoin ETFs who came into the game to make quick profits by trading or don't you know that they are the highest traders in history and this thread does not support trading but long-term investment and holdi.

ETFs are already big institutions who are buying and selling bitcoin every day and that shouldn't be a lifestyle to imitate. If you have not started your bitcoin investment, I expect you to learn a lot from this thread and make a proper plan to start your bitcoin investment whenever your discretionary income is available and build your bitcoin portfolio for the future through DCA regular weekly purchases for 4-10 years and above.

If you don't invest early, and choose to be waiting, you will regret your actions in future. ETFs are already rich and making more, so you need to eat your own bitcoin cake by investing and hodli for the future. If you are buying from ETF remember that you are only buying the value of bitcoin and not real bitcoin that should be in your noncustodial wallet.

@Sim_card - To show you I don't need your advice:  

I currently own 5,950 shares of Fidelity's spot Bitcoin ETF (Ticker: FBTC) which is equal to the price of about 5.2BTC. My cost basis is about $95/share x 5,950 = $565,000 invested.  

The current price right now (9/12/2025) of BTC is $116,500 and the current price of FBTC right now is $101.75.  1,145 shares of FBTC equals the price of 1BTC and my 5,950 shares / 1,145 = 5.2BTC.

I purposely bought Fidelity's spot Bitcoin ETF (Ticker: FTBC) to parallel track the price of BTC. I fully expect Bitcoin's price to soar in the coming years. I have no intention of selling or trading. I am an investor, not a trader! 

Today (9/12/2025) at market open FBTC was $100.00/share. FBTC is right now $101.75. My 5,950 shares have gained about 1.85% or about $10,400 today as I look at my brokerage account right now. FYI, my total gain with my position of FBTC as of today is $6.75/share x 5,950 = $40,150.  

As time moves forward I fully expect the gain from my position of spot Bitcoin ETF to be well over $5 million by 2031 or 2032 as I expect BTC to be $1 million per coin in 6-7 years.  

I have no intention of selling or trading for at least 15 years and maybe longer. Chances are I will add to my current position.

BTW, my annual 'discretionary income' is well over $1 million. I don't need your fucking advice!

It's good you've some investments and yes you can do whatever you want with your funds including buying shares rather than directly investing into Bitcoin and being in charge of your finances and yes you can think it's a smart approach to investing into Bitcoin by using a centralized scheme.

My main concern is that you plan to hold for long and you're using a centralized scheme. What is the guarantee that the ETF continues managing your funds properly and there would be no hack or collapse that might lead to losing your funds or even changes in policy? Of course there is none and not to mention that you'll be paying a certain percentage of your shares yearly as management fees.

It's best you take charge of your investment and store your coins in a hardware wallet or an air gapped device while you store your keys securely offline. That way you're sure your funds remain intact for as long as you intend holding and you'll have all the profits from your investment to yourself and not sharing with a third party nor entrusting your funds to them for safe keeping
