Not a bad strategy, but even a scheduled buy every week is a good idea so you dont have to watch the charts all the time. This of course is dollar cost averaging.

I mean, the post itself is pretty poor quality, but that doesn't mean that the sentiment behind it is necessarily bad advice. Dollar cost averaging is a perfectly legitimate investment plan, and over a long enough time period with bitcoin would always have made you a profit so far.

Merits is a nice helpful sign of good posts but don't forget that in some rare cases merits are given by the poster's alts or given based on the presentation when it's well designed.

Merits should absolutely not be seen as an indication of agreement of the post's contents, or as a user saying "I think this prediction is correct/accurate/will come true". Merits should be awarded to posts which are objectively high quality, and I regularly merit high quality posts I disagree with, or am even arguing against.

Users are not basicly posting their attitudes based on objectif analysis, some of them are just posting to reach the weekly posting quota exiged by sig campaigns they joined or to reach a certain number of activity in order to rank-up .

This is the main reason you shouldn't trust price predictions on here. Posting price predictions is the absolute easiest way to hit a post quote. There are hundreds of threads speculating about price, you don't have to read any of the posts which came before, your post can be completely baseless and require zero thought, and yet it will still be on topic.
