Buy the DIP, and HODL!

[Silikiem]

If you expect to profit from Bitcoin by waiting for the price to drop and buying and selling, then I would say it will cause more loss for you, because since it is not possible to expect the price correctly, it is never possible to always profit as expected through buying and selling, rather most of the time due to market instability you have to sell at a loss due to fear and panic, which will ultimately cause big losses for you in the long run. And therefore a realistic strategy should be used for investment, use DCA, this is a much good investment strategy.

Buying when the price dip and selling when it surges is not actually a good investment strategy, and any one who engages him or herself in such practice is said to be a trader and not an investor because a real investor has nothing to look for in the short term knowing fully well that bitcoin investment is not a Short term investment but Long term. The thing is that a lot of people are proclaiming to be an investor when they are not, they just want to be address as Long term investors but we know Those who are real investors and Those who are just pretending to be one.

Buying during price dip and selling when price is appreciating  is simply trading and should not be regarded as an investment strategy, and just like  @ejikeme24 said "any one who engages him or herself in such practice is said to be a trader and not an investor"


If you.try to time the market you may wait for a lower price, and when it gets there, you start waiting for an even lower one. The same thing happens when the price starts going up that is why DCA makes more sense for a long term investor. Because you don't have to predict every move You just invest what you can afford regularly and give it time. Rather than risking your money in trying to predict the market.

Long term investors have DIP expectations so that they can aggressively buy Bitcoin at that time. Many investors do so while DCA is ongoing. Those who sell at a small profit during a price increase are in a risky trading mindset. There is a huge difference between traders and investors. Traders have their objective in how to withdraw profits, which leads to them making quick decisions and making mistakes, but an investor has a long term Bitcoin accumulation strategy to make profits.

DCA is a way to accumulate Bitcoin regularly, as the goal is to build a holding of Bitcoin and then sell part or all of it to make a profit. Always try to do DCA within discretionary income and keep cash flow available and buy Bitcoin lump sum in the DIP.

For sure, an investor whose initial strategy has been on long term bitcoin accumulation with the DCA method will have every opportunity to make use of other strategic method but it all depends on financial situation and individuals goals. When an investor is investing with a DCA method and if along the line, an extra money comes to the investor then the investor can decide to do lump sum buy with such amount regardless of what the price is because his focus is on long term investment. The dip isn’t just the only time an investor can decide to lump sum especially since he’s been regularly buying bitcoin with the DCA strategy, which we know that the DCA allows the investor to buy bitcoin at any market price. So waiting until its dip before choosing to lump sum buy isn’t really a true investors mindset but a trading mindset. Investors can lump sum anytime they have the financial capacity to do so without getting to wait until its dip before they buy.

You are right, this practice you mentioned is actually trading but it is not all the time someone buy at dip that they will be seen or consider as a trader because sometimes investors are also privilege to buy during the dip especially those that are prepared before the dip happens they can decide to be overly aggressive because they are prepared. People who says they are investor when they are not... Is deceiving himself or herself and they will learn the hard way.

You're missing the context @ sotelorene, of course I know there are investors who lock up funds for buying the dip at the same time doing their normal routine buying of bitcoin and I'm not against such practice, I was actually talking about those investors who are going with this method of buying the dip and wait for the price to increase to sell off their investment when they are supposed to be stacking more stash of bitcoin in their portfolio and HODL.

[Merit.s]

I don't know if you are mistaken aggressive buying to be over aggressive buying because there are two different things. Anyone buying aggressively is buying within his discretionary income and I don't like it when I'm piling up funds just to only buy aggressively when there's a dip and DCA in a whimpy way because that will slow down your bitcoin investment growth pace. What if the dip didn't come, you will be sitting on too much Fiat.

I love buying aggressively, when I can through DCA because that will give me a big relief since, I will just buy and see the increase  in my bitcoin portfolio immediately. Investors should get the mindset of buying aggressively only the dip out of their head because it's similar with waiting for the dip.

On the other hand, over aggressive buying is using more than your discretionary income to buy bitcoin which will later bite you on the ass because when your needs arises, you will sell those bitcoin at loss if the price is below your entry point. I see that as gambling. Long term investors shouldn't involve themselves in practices that will later become gambling because you will regret it.

It is true that buying Bitcoin during  dip does not make someone a trader because the real point of trading is that you are selling Bitcoin in a certain way. you should not buy Bitcoin overly aggressively when you see some price drops in the short term while accumulating regularly. Suppose you are buying $100 Bitcoin every week. The market suddenly corrected by 25%. But you only have that $100 to invest this week. Then many people want to make a decision like buying $300 just because the price has dropped a little and taking $200 from the reserve fund. And making such over aggressive decisions is more harmful. And during the same dip, if you got a $2,000 bonus. Necessary expenses are okay, backup funds are also at a comfortable level and a part of that bonus is really discretionary fund. Then the situation is completely different. You can immediately put some amount in Bitcoin, do some DCA, and even set aside some funds to buy during dip according to the circumstances for experimental purpose .

But the problem arises when a new investor who has just started accumulation waits for a future lower price instead of putting available money in Bitcoin today. It is easy to say that dip will definitely come, but it is not known whether the exact price the market will give you at the price you think its dip. Meanwhile, if Bitcoin goes up, then you will regret it even more. just this reason, consistent and ongoing buying is more important in the bitcoin accumulation.

Yes investors shouldn't allow the mindset of buying the dip to affect their long term investment strategy. For an investor that has been using DCA strategy to accumulate bitcoin, whenever an extra cash is available they can always do lump sum to increase the bitcoin they have in their portfolio provided it won't affect their expenses. The idea of waiting for a perfect dip will only leads to timing the market and at the end the price may not dip to the point the person wants. For long term investors the most important thing is being consistent in accumulating and not trying to buy bitcoin at a desired dip that may not happen

When an investor start accumulating Bitcoin over aggressively he is already putting his investment into danger and such person is indirectly gambling, there is absolutely nothing wrong investing in Bitcoin aggressively without overly doing it because when overly do it means you are no longer investing with your discretionary income but with funds you can be needing in a short time.

Investors can be regularly accumulating Bitcoin using the DCA strategy using there discretionary income weekly or monthly instead of waiting some Dip that might not still come and there by missing some good better buying opportunity and eventually accumulate more aggressively without overly doing it either with your reserve funds which also help you in accumulating more Bitcoin at a more low price and hodl for long, investing over aggressively above what you can afford to lose can cause a disaster in the future.

[Sulegzy39]

Actually every entrepreneur whose original initial plan was investing in long-term cryptocurrency accumulation via the DCA approach will have every chance to use another strategic method, depending on their financial condition and ambitions. When an investor is making investments with a DCA approach, and if along the way, an excess money comes to the investor, the investor can elect to perform a one-time buy with such amount no matter what the price is simply because his concentration is on investment for the future.

The downturn isn't the only time a shareholder can elect to take a one-time investment, especially if he's been buying bitcoin on an ongoing basis using the DCA approach, which allows him to acquire bitcoin at any given market rate. So waiting for a dip before buying in bulk is more of a trading mindset than a true investor approach. Investors can buy in bulk whenever they have the financial capacity to do so, rather than waiting for a dip in the marketplace as a whole.

Basically, buying Bitcoin when the price is falling is not bad. But one should not wait for its price to fall. And it is not a good strategy for an investor to create a mentality to buy Bitcoin during a price drop. As a result, the opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin in front is lost. Instead of waiting for the price to fall, investors should use discretionary income to accumulate Bitcoin consistently through the DCA strategy. And an investor should always keep his plan in mind and continue to invest Bitcoin using the DCA method.

Personally,as long as what you are using to accumulate bitcoin over aggressively is your discretionary income and you can sustained it over the long term,you are not doing anything wrong. I think it is when you are accumulating over aggressive with money that is not your discretionary income that's when you're doing it wrongly because at some point in time you will likely tamper with your bitcoin portfolio prematurely and sometimes at a loss. For example, if you are accumulating bitcoin from your income over aggressively you might not be able to maintain that consistency for a long time because you have bills to pay and other basics needs to cover, you will likely sell your bitcoin portfolio at a loss to sort out your basic needs.

The more you invest in a volatile asset like Bitcoin, the more important it is to know how much that money is necessary for your daily life. If someone aggressively accumulates Bitcoin with discretionary income, then even if the price temporarily drops significantly, the likelihood that he will be forced to sell it is relatively low. Because that money was already left over after meeting his essential expenses. As a result, he has the opportunity to maintain his plan in the long term.

But the problem starts when someone also pours money for basic needs into Bitcoin. Then the amount of investment may be growing rapidly. But the financial foundation is weakening. After a few months, if an emergency arises, he may have to sell Bitcoin without considering the market situation. The important thing is to accumulate as much as you can hold on to in the long term without any financial stress. The strength of long-term holding does not depend only on how much Bitcoin you have accumulated. Whether you have the financial capacity and patience to hold it is equally important.

You're making a good point, aggressive accumulation aside, i doubt if it would be possible for an investor to consistenly maintain an investment with funds that's not the discretionary funds, we all have important things to settle asides investment, essential things that can't be overlooked and if money meant for them is used for investment then selling at lose would definitely occur on the long run.
 There are certain things investors should keep off doing and using money meant for essentials to invest is one of them. Many people don't understand the important of using the discretionary funds for investment until they're forced to sell very early and ruin the investment.

It's quite late for those who haven't set aside an emergency fund before they invest to Bitcoin.
While they can see how profitable it is, there's no way for them to prolong that when they have to spend it for those expenses that they'll encounter.
That situation will be a cycle for them if they won't consider to have a back up fund that shall be needed so that their bitcoin holdings won't be used.
IMO, everyone gets to learn that when they have experienced such situations like what you exampled.

There are different strategies that we can use to buy and accumulate Bitcoin on a consistent basis, you have to find a strategy that fit you perfectly, personally I prefer to buy Bitcoin through the DCA method which is more efficient for a long term plans and sustainable, I don’t see any reason why I should be waiting for a price to come down before I can start buying Bitcoin, probably is working for other people but it’s actually not working for me because it will make me to loose opportunities of buying bitcoin, there are people who appreciate buying the dip, well I guess it’s also working for them perfectly.

I agree with this view. Especially in the case of long term accumulation, waiting for a specific entry point or perfect dip can often lead to missed opportunities. So regular DCA is a good base strategy for me accumulating Bitcoin consistently over a specific period of time not trying to predict the market's short term movement.

However if at some point you have extra money or money to invest one time then without closing the DCa a part of that extra money can be used as an additional entry according to the situation. On the one hand this maintains the consistency of the DCA and on the other hand there is also an opportunity to use the capital in the long term but it is a completely personal decision.

In the end it is more important to know how to accumulate Bitcoin regularly and in the long term according to your financial capacity than to predict when to buy at the lowest price

Plus it depends more in the sophistication of the investor. But usually, people with more money to invest are more inclined to be more sophisticated. Therefore they use other methods of accumulation other than DCA, which might be better suited for their background and the amount of capital they have.

For PLEBS, and especially those PLEBS who have responsibilities in life, DCA is easier and easier for their financial situation.

DCA method works equally well for investors of all incomes. You may not have the same income or expenses as others, and the areas you need to spend on may not be the same areas for others. It is almost certain that just as there are differences between the rich and the poor, each investor will have different preferences and strategies when it comes to investment strategies. DCA method is the best and most suitable method for investors of all incomes to Bitcoin because no one is pressured to buy Bitcoin with a specific amount of funds. Investors will prioritize their earned funds to meet daily expenses for their families. Accumulation Bitcoin from the amount of funds left over/discretionary funds that you have after all your needs are met.

You used the word cryptocurrency instead of Bitcoin, crypto can mean any other coin including the ones that are shitty and they're never a good advice for investment so next time you ought to be specific in noting that Bitcoin is tbe most suitable digital currency that can be invested with using the DCA strategy.

That's what makes the DCA looks more special than others, an investor won't have to wait and buy when the market is down but can choose to allocate more funds to buy during that period while maintaining consistency, consistent buying keep investors in positions whereby they'll have the opportunity to buy at different volatility trends so waiting for the dip before buying becomes unnecessary.

That right, every Strategy have it own designed customers. The DCA is commonly used by every one because of it comfortability and durability. You know DCA have made it very easy for everyone to be a holder of bitcoin, and you don’t even have to have much funds before starting your investment.

There are others who don’t really prefer the DCA, these are people who go for Buy the Dip, these set of people makes sure they are financially buoyant everytime, so immediately there is a Dip they just buy and hold, then they begin to wait for another Dip.

Not that Buy the Dip is a bad strategy too, but for DCA really help to be an investor even with the little you have, it keeps you away from waiting for the market to drop before starting your investment. DCA saves you from a lot of stress.

A true investor would not look for short term profits over the long term benefits, like you mentioned, they are traders posing as investors. A true investor would not panic when the price of bitcoin drops and would not have the mindset to sell after a little pump, it's considered scalping bitcoin which is seen to be the wrong approach for long term assured profits.

With the current bitcoin market movement, many so called "investors" would have placed their target for "TP", and wait for a reversal to buy back more bitcoin. This could be seen as a smart profit making scheme but it's not the safest especially for newbies new to bitcoin.
