The lower the price goes, the less risky to buy Bitcoins

[GeorgeJohn]

It's very perfect to buy bitcoin during the dip time, but right now we can't say bitcoin is on the dip, due to the price is fluctuating....we dont know if the price will go more below in price than the current price

So the dip we are lamenting on, for the price of Bitcoin is not really assured for bitcoin investment...i suggest that, whenever you have the capital, neither on the bearish season or bullish season, invest and be accumulating it gradually...


Their's no perfect time to buy bitcoin, because the price of Bitcoin is not stable...you can miss opportunity why waiting for dip time to buy bitcoin...if you have capital, buy your bitcoin at anytime...Bitcoin investment is all about risk, take a decision and take the risk that's involve in bitcoin investment.

Op, you’ve made a dropped a reasonable point, waiting for the dip is skeptical because no one really know which is the perfect dip, that price which you might have come to conclusion that it has reached a perfect dip, the price may still go dipper like the scenario the OP illustrated. For an investor, the lower the price, less risky to it is to accumulate more Bitcoin based on their analysis, but for someone who is new to the system, without proper background knowledge, to them it’s a dead trap. When Bitcoin was as low as $2, they didn’t see the potential in it, they saw it as a shit project, but then it exceed their expectations.

that's a good point about not knowing the 'perfect dip'. I've been thinking about this too, and it seems like a bit of a gamble either way - buying too early or waiting too long. for me, dollar-cost averaging takes some of that risk off the table.

This is true and has been true for a long time and I really wish that people saw this more easily. Some people sell because it is going down (in fact that is the reason it keeps going down on bear period) and that is as wrong as it gets. You should not be selling when it is going down, if you do that then you are the reason why it is going down and you are going to lose money and a chance to profit. If you are buying when it is going down then you are going to do a better job and profit a lot more.

I think for long term holding, Bitcoin is always a good buy - because its entire history shows that over any period of a few years, it yields a better ROI (return on investment ) than almost any other asset available, using a buy and hold strategy.
And it’s a very important however: in relatively small, relatively volatile, relatively new markets, like Bitcoin’s - short term price actions are very hard to predict. And so, if you are investing for any period of less than several years it makes sense to “buy the dips”.

It is, but at this point it's for those who are whales that probably gonna take it for not a huge gain but probably for stability of gains and it's really getting a store of value to a great level. Probably at this point the volatility has somewhat decrease and over time it will even decrease as it tends to be pushed by institutions and even banks.

I don't care much about the dip it makes more sense when you focus on using the DCA than the buy the dip, you don't talk about the buy the dip like you know when it is going to happen, for those using DCA can have a lot of dips on their consistency of using the DCA. The buy dip is good but you don't have to be waiting for it, when it happens and you have money to buy them you buy and when it doesn't you still keep buying with the DCA strategy dips are not guarantee to happen and even if does for how long will it last? DCA make more sense.

I agree with you here on your sentiment, buying the dip only makes sense when you are are not waiting for it, but you are already accumulating through the dca accumulating strategy, and because their is a dip then, you can buy aggressively with your reserve funds, but if you don't have it, their is no need to worry because with the dca accumulating strategy, you can buy at any price interval, even the lowest part of the dip.most dip buyers may miss out on, thinking that they bought at the lowest price. So dca accumulating strategy remains the best accumulating strategy when it comes to Bitcoin investment, not buying and waiting for a dip that may not  come.

On a normal day, we are expected to buy when the market falls and then hold, this is best for those that wish to invest and have it on a long time duration, while some traders may not stay in position for this, because of the kind of position they are taking for the future traders, because they are mostly precision traders and don't have to wait till the market falls, they can invest to trade even at the rise of the market, just to be able to take either a short or long position trade, therefore, how it applies on us all depends on trading or investment we are opting in for,

it is mostly traders that love to enter the market when the price is low since they don't plan to hold for long. For long term holders, there is no time that isn't right for them to buy bitcoin especially when they are using DCA strategy. The reason why most people prefer to enter the market when the price of bitcoin is low is to make quick profit because if they buy when the price is high they may find it difficult to take profits from there investment within the short period they are planning to hold.

It is less risky for but waiting for a dip is a waste of time and manly for a short-term investors,when it comes to long term investors dip is not their concern but if it happens still fine , they're more concerned about the future of the market their investing in and everyone who is a bit enlighten about cryptocurrency will testify on how reliable bitcoin is when it comes to investing in long-term basis while using DCA .

Bitcoin is a safe zone in crypto market where is 90% guaranteed, bitcoin is proven to be reliable without any doubt and most investors in vest in it knowing there money is secured

It makes absolute sense and is the smartest thing to do as a Bitcoin investor, but practically people are forced to sell or liquidate their portfolio when there's a major  price decrease. But this is what the smart money guys do: they buy when the market is bleeding. Before now, when I hadn't understood this concept, as of 2017, when I first witnessed the very first bear market crash, and also in March 2020, the COVID-19 dump, I used to think, Who are those even buying Bitcoin when the market is hugely crashing?, until I came to realize that it was even the smartest thing ever to do as a Bitcoin investor.

[Jostern]

I don’t think there is so much difference, when comparing buying bitcoin on a low price and when you’re buying when the price of bitcoin is high, the only difference are for traders who are more interested in buying and trading bitcoin instead of buying for a long term investment.

However if you’re buying bitcoin for a very long term and you’re buying through the DCA technique you wouldn’t have to worry about anything like price or Bitcoin dropping and price of bitcoin going up and downs because you should be well aware that bitcoin is a volatile asset and it will continue to drop and goes up, which shows that there is so many uncertainty about Bitcoin.

Perhaps we can consider buying the dip in a different dimension of buying bitcoin consistently, and still keep some money aside for the future should I’m case there is an opportunity for buying the unprecedented price dip that might come and we wouldn’t know anything about it yet until we come across the unprecedented dip, have a right strategy is more important when buying bitcoin consistently.

I strongly agree that there is no right time to buy Bitcoin because we should do it whenever we have the funds. I remember when Bitcoin was priced at $300, $600 and $2000 there were many questions about whether it was still possible to buy Bitcoin at that price, and it turns out there really is no right time because if we wait for the time we think is right, we might already have missed the train.
Buy based on our ability to bear losses so we won’t panic during downturns and can patiently wait for prices to rise.

You can buy Bitcoin at any price if you plan to and put your mind to it. Can hold for a long time, which will bring profit for every investor. But those who invest in short term, they usually love to trade. And desperate to make a quick and easy profit. And I think this is the biggest mistake for short term investors. Because they lose patience very easily and some market declines actually sell at a loss. However, if you buy while the price of Bitcoin is low, there will be less chance of loss. Because Bitcoin can recover very quickly.

The key on here is that you should be only investing into the amount that you can afford to lose so that you wont be finding yourself freaking out when the market goes down or you would be able to see your investment is on negative. Most of the time or lets say on which OP been saying that the price goes down the less risky to buy bitcoins on which it is actually true since you do able to buyback at the bottom and considering on whats the potential of Bitcoin to make out such recovery, but cant be able to deny that whenever the price dips then we are thinking that the price will be going down even more on which this will be creating that kind of fear on which for those who are just that new into this market will definitely be freaking out but for those who do have that sufficient experience or awareness on how this market behaves then they would be seeing these dives to be an opportunity to accumulate more.

Liquidate when there is major price decrease? I think it only happens to futures traders not spot trader. There are a lot of people who prefer to hold than to make their losses real by selling their bitcoin after major dump.
On the other hand, When Covid-19 crisis was happening and market crash. Buying at that time feels like you're burning your money because there are lows after lows, but the result after 2 to 3 years wait is worth it.

Bitcoin is still at pretty good price, buying it won't as anxiety inducing as it was when Covid-19 happen. Right now is pretty good time to add into our DCA.

[Webetcoins]

When you buy bitcoin at a lower price, things are decent and not a big deal, you are not going to face that many challenges and you are going to handle this without much issues. Obviously it is not going to be easy and we can figure out some stuff but the reality is that if we can handle the market volatility then we would have been rich, it's common that most people can't handle it. They see the price falling and that is what they do, they end up making a mistake and fail out of their trouble.

[DeeppRockk]

The lower the price goes, the less risky it is to buy Bitcoins. Is this phrase true?

I dont believe this is true. I witnessed the opposite. Bitcoin at $2 was a shit show of hot potato where nobody wanted to get caught with BTC overnight for fear of a crash. The massive liquidity in the market and large scale adoption has strengthened Bitcoins case immensely. The more Bitcoins price falls, the more likely it is to crash. We are headed towards too big to fail territory. A step back would be catastrophic, not a blessing.

You make a solid point about those wild price swings back in the $2 days-that was pure chaos. But the game has changed a lot since then. Institutional money and ETFs have really shifted Bitcoin's risk profile. It's not the same playground anymore.

Dips below $100k? Yeah, they stir up some uncertainty, but they also hand long-term holders a chance to stack. Scarcity's the real story here. When supply's capped and demand grows, prices tend to climb over time. It's basic economics, not just hype. Those early days were a different beast-today's market's got way more depth and maturity.

The DCA strategy is a very effective one that helps investors to make decisions without waiting for the price of Bitcoin to either go down or go up. When the price of Bitcoin goes down they buy and when it also go up they keep buying without timing the market to know when to buy Bitcoin and when to forget about buying Bitcoin. If investors can always take a off ear out of the market, they will not be bothered about those things happening in the market. The obvious part is that the DCA strategy can be used by anyone wheyher you are rich or you don't have sufficient funds as an investor.
