If one can save fiat for emergency or unforseen circumstances then BTC too can play that role. BTC is money so it can play a lot of role in someone's journey to freedom from the shackles of poverty. Keep investing in BTC or hold the one's you have,if you are scared of the dip in price then sell some and keep some. BTC is here to stay though the market is unpredictable.
This is a very bad advice in both ways. Saving your emergency funds in bitcoin is not the right thing if you don't want to run at losses. Most times we realise that you may save up to $300 worth of bitcoin for emergency purposes. Due to Volatility, the say Bitcoinay no longer worth up to that amount when you want to make use of it and you know that major hospitals don't collect bills in bitcoin. This would make you sell more bitcoin than you would have spent on such emergency. Saving fiats for emergency situation is the best way to avert the losses that could come with Volatility at the point of need.
You don't have to sell your bitcoin stash because you are faint hearted. Instead, when you already discovered that you are faint hearted, deal with it, check the records, reach out for the cycle. Don't allow fear lure you into selling off your bitcoin with panic. Investing with only your Discretionary income will also help you not to get into financial stress that could lead you into selling off your bitcoin sooner than necessary.

According to you guys, if the reason for selling some of there investment is due to saving there bitcoin because this fbtye correction that may happen in every circle and then later it grows as you have explained, then what is the real essence of selling in the first place, because according to you guys, after the drop of about 50-70% in each circle, it will later pump high, creating another ATH record, so if this is true, why not just wait till the season is over and then experience the new ATH with all your portfolio still intact? Don't you think it will he a lot of gain if one was consistently buying in this period of DIP you mentioned and then HODL till the DiP season is over?
Realistically, even though fear and greed may set in the DIP era, it is best for an investor who believes in the appreciating power of bitcoin to HODL into his portfolio and yet keep adding consistently, since its growth can also happen anytime, even greater than it declined previously Bitcoin has gone through several years of existence with a corresponding pump and dump and has also proven that it's Volatility is sacrosanct to the success of every bitcoin investor. Buying bitcoin rightly is good because it eases off the pressure from Dip. Selling at dips is a total waste of investment and this is a result of fear.
Yeah sure, if you want to get the best from bitcoin, instead of complaining at dips, you make more buys HODL and wait for at least 4 to 10 years time during which you would easily sell and make your gain even though the longer you HODL the better.
