Are we all talk?

[Hamza2424]

The real ones know that the best time to buy bitcoin is when it is cheap and not when it is at its peak. Because of this there are people who go against the masses and instead buy even when the market is glaringly red. But are we all just talk? I think some people are actually quite nervous when the market starts declining no matter what they say since they overthink whether bitcoin's starting to crash. If bitcoin reached $10k, there will be a huge chunk of investors that will not buy but instead will start to get scared.

But know that at this point where a lot of people had already anticipated a bear market, the price being around $70k is not that abnormal. If anything, I am wishing for it to drop some more so I can buy more sats. 

Fear is real bro, I think you have not seen bitcoin going to $15k after it hit new all time high of $69k approximately. Imagine the situation where you have bought at all time high and now bitcoin has reached $15k what would you do.

You will pray to god even if you are an atheist.

But would you buy more? I doubt because many rehearse the same mistake, they stop they don't buy, that is where they make huge loss because if they will buy in that dip they can easily recover their previous loss and the can make the profit too because it is bitcoin we are talking here.

The point is that when the price of Bitcoin drops, some people know how to make use of the opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin, but some believe it will continue dropping to their price target, not knowing that it is very possible that Bitcoin may not drop to their price target.This is one of the reasons why the DCA strategy is one of the best ways to accumulate Bitcoin, as it gives us the opportunity to buy Bitcoin at different price levels and prevents someone from waiting endlessly for a dip they may never see again.Despite the fact that Bitcoin is unpredictable, I don’t think Bitcoin will drop to $10k. If anyone decides to wait for Bitcoin until it drops to $10k, it is very possible that person may just be deceiving themself.

100 % we are all talk as soon as something happens to affect bitcoin globally people get scared and pull their money from Bitcoin invest in something safter and more stable. the recent dip in Bitcoin get the majority of individual's scared which affect the value of the coin even more as when people start to pull out the price falls even more. However their are people that take this to there advantage to buy in while the price is at a low these people are risk takers. all talk i will leave that one up to you to decide

[buwaytress]

Arguably, the "real" ones have always ignored price and continued to use Bitcoin in all and any circumstances. Was I there using Bitcoin when it wasn't even $500? Yeah. Was I using Bitcoin at $123,000? Yep. Did I send when average fees were 200k sats/byte? Yep.

The real question is: if you don't use Bitcoin, are you really just talk? (sorry to stray somewhat from your speculation-related question)

lol @Furball808 you new here
this same talk goes on every cycle
everyone says they'll buy the dip till the dip comes then they fud out or get rekt
people been calling for 10k btc since it was 1k
the real ones don't care about 10k or 70k they just stack sats
stop watching the charts so much and go live your life
it's all just noise for the newbs

The 70k range was what was expected, I don't think the market will go any lower, if it does, maybe it is jut a liquidity sweep. Now is a good time for investors to buy, it is an opportunity for those looking for a good time to get investing in bitcoins, or to increase the amount of bitcoin that they have.

I know that I am one of many persons who are not very concerned about the drop, because we know it will be back up.

[nakamura12]

It is true that you can buy more Bitcoin when its price decrease but even during the price where it's mostly stable is that you can still buy more bitcoin when it drops from it's stable price before going back up. I agree with the others that it's all talk when not using Bitcoin no matter what the price is. I also know someone who said the same thing where they buy at low price and wanted to sell high but didn't even last long before selling due to others doing panic selling.

[passwordnow]

That is a normal reaction of a person if the market suddenly drops a lot and the price nosedives. We don't want that to be honest and we want the price of Bitcoin to be more expensive because that's the advantage of buyers who'd done that earlier. But if the price gets lower, why not? we can only react and do it or not.

If people are either new in this market or don't have knowledge, experience, and good strategies, they will lose their control in this market very easily when the market is volatile. Emotion, psychology and actions will all be affected very severely in most chaotic times in the market.

I've been there and done that, it's true. If someone is new and doesn't have enough knowledge on how to overcome it, they're going to sell almost if not everything they own in the crypto market. Emotions are high when it's about this scenario that's hard to control.

Especially if they began with not good financial management, like using all money for investment, bet that investment will bring profit consistently so that they can withdraw profit weekly or monthly to use, or most severely when they leverage from initial capital that will put them under loan expiration or worse market liquidations.

The worse situation is they're going to sell in losses, blame the market, and never go back. That's because when they have started, they lack of knowledge, they invested all that they have and yet they happen to not understand that this is what volatility is.

[Vaculin]

If we can check history, only few have taken the risk to trust and buy bitcoin when the price is absolutely low. And they will start buying only when they have seen that bitcoin price is starting to grow and prosper in the market.

Now history may repeat itself, and people will still be hesitant to trust bitcoin because they have seen how its price has fallen sharply. But when its already in the peak again, they will rush again to buy bitcoin.

This kind of mindset is never changing, especially to those who have no concrete faith to bitcoin.

[Majestic-milf]

Ignore the outside noise, and stack your bitcoins. There will always be weak hands in the market who will fold at every dip. Those who know better (long term hodlers) take advantage of dips to buy what they can afford. Ar this point in my bitcoin journey, the market doesn’t matter to me I just want to stack up to 1 bitcoin.

Just as the Op said, there are people who would still get nervous, already predicting that a particular decline in price means that Bitcoin is on the verge of crashing soon so there's no amount of motivational speech you want to give them, those who should use this opportunity to stack would be looking to pull out the little they've amassed, since it's better to lose a little than all of it.
 Right from time, Bitcoin investment hasn't been for the weak or those who sleep on opportunities or whiners, so yeah, it could be there are those who are just talk and no real work.
Personally, I prefer to add to my collection, little by little and when ever there is a dip like this, I give it time cause I know there's always going to be a calm.

[Ziskinberg]

Different investors come with different mindset and perspective, but share the common goal which is to be profitable in the end.

If others are scared when bitcoin price is bloody, that's because they have not understood well how volatility works for bitcoin. But for those who have tracked how bitcoin price moves, from bearish to bullish, from bullish to bearish, they won't hesitate at all. They've known already that bitcoin won't stay low-priced for long.

You are right, those who are currently in the market and have some money invested in it will definitely be scared to buy more even if Bitcoin drops to $10k or lower, because they had their money invested in it that they believe is now lost if they were holding and now the market has totally crashed. However, there will be another force that will be ready to invest in Bitcoin if something like that happens, it's the force that have never yet invested in Bitcoin but are ready to invest as soon as they get an opportunity, but still, even they could get scared if they see that Bitcoin crashed from $126k to $10k.

People who have balanced everything will be the ones who will make the most of declines or crashes, because if you are invested in Bitcoin, but you have also taken profit and have already recovered your initial investment, but still hold some assets, when the market drops, you will surely be willing to buy more because you have already seen the benefits of doing that. This is why it's important for everyone to manage their investments properly.

True investors prepare well from their knowledge on the maket, differences between investment and trading, available good investment strategies to use, and the psychology of market cycles so that they are able to do the right things while at the same time to avoid risky trading or short term speculations in this volatile and unpredictable market.

By being knowledgeable, well-prepared for their investment in this market, they truly prepare their mentality and investment capital for DCA Bitcoin and if possible dip purchases. They are people who are never panic with market crashes, dips as they patiently wait for such times which in their mindset are great investment opportunities.

DCA vs Smart DCA, what do you choose?
Which DCA strategy, it's personal choice and this one is only my introduction.

Some might get scared, and will have thoughts of Bitcoin dying already especially if we see it going down from around $125,000 to $10,000? Some might not buy it anymore. What are the chances that it will happen though? Zero percent.

When it comes to investing, for me wishing is pretty much useless. Hoping is pretty much useless as well, and even though there are some times where I really do hope that it will happen, it will all depend on how the market will move. You said that the best time to buy Bitcoin when it is cheap? The question for you is this. At what price will you consider Bitcoin as cheap? $50,000? $40,000? $30,000? That's the problem. We have different prices when we look at Bitcoin being at the "cheap" area, and we don't even know what's the peak price of Bitcoin at 100% certainty.

As for investors being scared, well we can't blame them because I've experienced it as well. Most newbies do have this feeling, and it's part of the learning curve. Overtime, they will understand that being scared will not help them make more money thus, they'll do the opposite. Experience, knowledge, and skill. That would make them a better investor.

Althoughh it would be a dream to have fall to $10,000 and buy small bits, it has been found that company buy walls by ETFs and business holdings have provided solid floor of around $70,000 and huge crash would not be likely unless world is in money crisis.
Although price is currently very high, the Fear and Greed Index stands at a cautious 18, which proves that most regular buyers are over thinking crash as large companies are buying more through these drops. I think old 80 percent bad market falls are out of date since big funds are now set to buy lows automatically so that waiting to see unreal cheap price may only leave them behind. So, most successful investors in 2026 will see that $80,000 represents new 20,000 and when they wait until the market crashes and it never happens will end up buying it at top of market at later time after being hopeless.

It's always easy to say that you should buy bitcoin when it's falling, but in reality, when your own money is at stake, it can be difficult not to succumb to panic and act contrary to what's happening. Yes, the brain understands that this is a temporary drop and bitcoin will rise again (later), but emotions interfere with a sober assessment of the situation and "scream" about danger. It's like a conflict between long-term and short-term forecasts (and in general, both options are correct), because bitcoin may indeed fall in the short term, but rise in the long term.

Those who can cope with this and "act against the crypt market" are rewarded for their unconventionality, while others can only envy their composure.

But know that at this point where a lot of people had already anticipated a bear market, the price being around $70k is not that abnormal. If anything, I am wishing for it to drop some more so I can buy more sats. 

Of course it will fall, this is only the beginning of BTC-winter and this is a good reason to start accumulating bitcoin.

To overcome our fear when price of Bitcoin has gone down, we need to see price history of Bitcoin. In first week of Oct 2025, Bitcoin was at its ATH and four months later it has gone down almost 50k. Anyone who has bought Bitcoin at around 120k must be in stress at the moment. Why I always say that to look at price history of Bitcoin because this is not the first time Bitcoin has shown such massive downfall. You have given an instance of such downfall in past and Bitcoin made a great recovery after that downfall. Bitcoin is down right now but it will surely make a recovery from this, just don't panic and HODL your Bitcoins.  

[Minor Miner]

If bitcoin reached $10k, there will be a huge chunk of investors that will not buy but instead will start to get scared.

I agree. If Bitcoin falls to $10k, a large number of investors will flee the market instead of rushing to buy Bitcoin. However, I bet you will be among them too, you will also dump your bitcoin and leave the market.

Because that is a huge drop, equivalent to more than 90% from the peak. Not everyone can withstand such major upheavals and shocks. Easier said than done.

As for me, I will not be in a hurry to buy. Instead, I will carefully consider the market situation at the time before making a final decision.

Can you make Bitcoin DIP to its 200-Weekly SMA price point?

I think some people are actually quite nervous when the market starts declining no matter what they say since they overthink whether bitcoin's starting to crash. If bitcoin reached $10k, there will be a huge chunk of investors that will not buy but instead will start to get scared.

But there will also be a good amount of SMART investors who will take advantage of that GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY. I am VERY confident of that. Can you make it crash to $10,000? That's actually when you start to use MOST of your savings to purchase Bitcoin.

The Federal Reserve and the Central Banks will keep printing money, which WILL make asset price surge, including Bitcoin.

[hmbdofficial]

In as Much as everyone has their way and idea of stacking bitcoin DCA strategy is goated for a reason that which the next dip might not affect your investment but rather keep you in profit and keep stacking when its still dip and when the price bulls.
