It may seem obvious to some more experienced traders and bitcoiners, but I've just fully realized how good of a thing it is for prices to go down as the result of correction (even a long-term correction) or manipulation.

Helps to get cheap coins, especially when other people are panicking.

It was pretty surprising how my parents, who bought at a pretty high price to begin with, made back some of their losses by keeping calm and buying at the dips the last few nights.

If you know that the price is up long-term, you can just measure your wealth in coins, not spendable fiat.
