I was very happy to buy Bitcoin today . Since I am new in the crypto ecosystem I used $5.41 to purchase Bitcoin which is equivalent to 0.00032258 BTC and I am planning to buy more. And I am investing for a long term investment. Happy first purchase.
It is not easy for someone to buy bitcoin because of the bear market at this time but I picked courage and bought it.
When it comes to bears and bulls, especially for newbie investors and even experienced investors is the fact that, weak hands or investors tends to shy away from any Bitcoin investment despite the fact that, its in a bear market and your supposed to buy low, most people just be reluctant. Given the uncertainty of bear markets as either, your dip might just turn put to be you to have bought early and you can't really place it when the bulls would come. Also, most people expects a crash and so they keep off, while observing on the sidelines.
Others just wait for the bulls, buys highs and still get to hodl if they could or perhaps sell after making some profits. The bulls sends a signal that eliminates the possibility of lose and that's what people want.
Having you @OP take this stand, I would say your doing a good thing for your investment, it might might seem small but mega things are built out of small things and besides, you just might be sticking to the policy of using spare cash. Its good, keep it up.
