Does it feel good when bitcoin drops?

[Furball808]

We all have different strategies while investing in bitcoin. We all invest in different times with different amounts based on what we can afford and our goals in a specific time. I saw people discussing how it feels good when bitcoin drops and it’s time for their usual DCA routine. DCA means buying when bitcoin is down and buying when bitcoin is up. It might be a little painful when one buys and the market is at the top because maybe they would want to buy more or they are fighting off the temptation of having to sell their bitcoins whe it’s doing so well. If you are doing DCA, how satisfying it is to buy bitcoin when it’s decling in price? Are you guys the success stories arter all?

If you've got a plan and some dry powder, red candles feel like a discount coupon, and if you don't, they feel like a fire alarm. DCA helps because it turns "should I buy now?" into "I buy on Fridays and don't care" and your mood stops steering the wheel.

What really saved me was splitting my coins: a cold stash I don't touch for years and a tiny "mess around" pile so I don't sabotage the plan.

If a 20-30% dip wrecks your week, your position's too big or your timeline's too short.

DCA means buying when bitcoin is down and buying when bitcoin is up. It might be a little painful when one buys and the market is at the top because maybe they would want to buy more or they are fighting off the temptation of having to sell their bitcoins whe it’s doing so well.

There are two things that are involved when bitcoin price drops. on the one hand, buying at the DIP helps you to buy at a cheaper rate while on the other hand, there is an emotional issue that is associated with buying during the DIP which is the fact that there is the fear that bitcoin might not recover easily during the DIP.

Buying with the DCA method keeps one invested both at the DIP and at the bull and while others might fret out when there is a DIP, doing DCA keeps you feeling good because you are at an advantage even at the time that the market is coming down.

If you apply DCA strategy rightly, you are well-prepared to buy bitcoin regularly as your accumulation habit, and you don't mind too much about price. It's more likely when you have money each week or each month, for example, from your weekly or monthly salary, you will use it for purchasing bitcoins.

You don't mind about price, as you are DCAing bitcoins, but who prohibit you to feel satisfied and more happy by taking dips and buying bitcoins at cheaper and discount price?

You are free to feel more happily than other DCA rounds when prices don't dip.

And we have a famous "Buy the *ucking dips"

Buying Bitcoin when the price drops is a very satisfying moment for investors, especially those with long-term investment plans. The feeling is certainly like getting a discount and being able to increase the number of assets at a cheaper price.

DCA is a great strategy for everyone, especially those who are just starting to invest or want to reduce the risk of price fluctuations. This strategy really helps investors to not think about market conditions constantly and focus on long-term investment goals. Successful investors with the DCA strategy have the discipline to accumulate a certain amount of Bitcoin without being tempted to time the market.

You would just need to think how much it would be when the price rises where it was and beyond, that's all.

If the change in the value would affect how bitcoin works this could be the end of a project. It could be possible to influence many aspects... and it would be not far comparable to any store of value.
Actually we have the ATH (a costant ATH) for the network-computing rate.
Did the price matter something? Sure if you are looking for quick cash and after few months there is a (-) sign....

(my 2 sats) For each dip I see just " I can still buy bitcoin" .  As we know, has always been "hard and expensive to buy".
But years after years, each coin has reached an amount in FIAT that would require a huge amount of time (if not a life) to save 1 entire coin.

Answering the title: It depends.

I want to clarify:

DCA means buying when bitcoin is down and buying when bitcoin is up.

DCA is buying at a predetermined time. A price dip shouldn't influence you to move up your purchase schedule, as it would mess up your DCA. Unless you have other funds and don't include them in your DCA portfolio.

[BABY SHOES]

Traders may not be happy if bitcoin goes down, at a time when the market is highly volatile.

When bitcoin goes down you make purchases by DCA means the sats you get more and more because BTC goes down, but it should not affect any price because DCA is a routine purchase every week or month.

Just buy dip and HODL

Only people with streams income or large capital do DCA. An average Bitcoin buyer just buy Bitcoin and lockin, they don't have money in another place to do DCA which is why when Bitcoin price crash, they seems to be angry about it, they want the market to continue to go up from where they buy instead of the down movement. The real truth about past Bitcoin market is the increase in price has never been linear for once, it has always been this way.

The way the market is looking, we may have more correction henceforth, according to some traders for now it looks over bought, a correction is needed because there is no new trend to make the price move forward. We don't see actions of Bitcoin reserve some countries has promises, it's just empty talk perhaps they were just propaganda to make Bitcoin pump, if it's as such then we are been lied too about the news and fake news don't win in the long, there are consequences.

The most important thing is to continue doing it and have funds and stable income for it. All the rest will be done by the BTC itself, basically

It feels good only if you understand what's going on in the market.
Institutions will be happy on every dumps because it is a buying opportunity for them.
They have the money around them waiting patiently for any buying opportunity.
It is always those who don't have a lot on money to risk that panic to every Bitcoin moves.
Big whales understand the market more and what's scary is people who are just like pigs waiting to be slaughtered in the slaughter house, either it is Bitcoin or not it doesn't sound right to invest in something you don't understand.
DCA with sense, I won't say more than that, it is possible that we are sliding into a bear market already, while many people are waiting for 150k Bitcoin it might be already too late, always have some dry powder just in case.

[john_egbert]

If you understand BTC, you would get why people do it at any price, dip or spike.

DCA adores patience and consistence.

Strategically speaking yes since this is actually what those people do DCA want. Since they could buy the dip as many volume as they want.

But we can't deny that somehow it can make us sad. Since we could see that supposed to be good growth has been stopped and we have seen those dumps which could bother lots of people especially that those easy to get scared where there's quick changes on the movements happening with Bitcoin. But for sure they can get over with all of those things especially if their belief is so high that they are doing the right thing with Bitcoin lots of volume because they believe that after the storm happen there's always a great recovery will come in future.

We can't see green without red, especially if we go long-term with BTC.

It's part of the process and we should trust it.

After a few years in the Market, it is simply another day.  And to the less experienced, the first few Market drops are perfect opportunities to purchase.  Until the Price drops even more.  And then it is an opportunity to panic.

It is a good idea when there are negative changes to the Chart to put more Money in to Bitcoin.  Particularly if your average cost is higher than the spot Price.  But other wise, Dollar Cost Averaging should continue just like before.

[TheUltraElite]

Good thing is that I get a discounted price to buy at. It is because of these ups and downs that people stay in the market and make money from it. If such things never happened then we would not be able to make profits off it.

There are many people who are waiting to buy and so many other people who are going to accidentally sell into the FUD.

Hence the trading mindset needs to be created, you have to have confidence in the asset and bitcoin is an easy asset to put confidence in. That asset whenever it drops, buy.

[MusaPk]

DCA strategy helps you in averaging your all purchase. Those who have bought Bitcoin when it was near 120k and 110k may continue to buy Bitcoin if it went below 100k. What we have seen so far is that Bitcoin price might go down but in the long run it always goes up. Bitcoin price is coming down after touching 126k$, it may go bearish for sometime but due to investment of big companies it's very certain that Bitcoin price will surly go up. Take full use of this drop in price and buy as much as you can.

Answer from the title of this post, I will say yes, it feels very good. This feels good because I could not buy at the early time when the price was at this range, and knowing the peak at which the price has gotten to, buying now will be more profiting when Bitcoin gets back to its ATH.

In the part of DCA, it works on both ups and downs of the market, what matters most in DCA is to buy at all time there is funds at hand. When you DCA when the price is down, compare it when same thing is done on the price when its up, you'll find out why it is feels good when the price is down most time.

While this is not good for investors is mostly when they just came in and the market faces a downside, this keeps them on the losing side.

[Apocollapse]

It's not people feel good when the price drops, but it's a way for someone to get benefit over price drops.

If Bitcoin price keep rising, regardless you're buying Bitcoin using DCA, lump sum, daily trade etc, everyone won't loss because after you buy Bitcoin, the price will rise. Despite you the number of coins you can buy will getting smaller, if in the end you're in profit, I don't think you will regret or blame yourself for just having x coins.
