Why you just opened this question when few hours ago we were @ $9,100. This is one problem of some buyers, they tend to buy only when they see the price starts to rise and when it's on the bottom, they wouldn't ask such question or act accordingly to buy.
I'm a holder and basically that's all I do but when we see some dips, buying without hesitation is what I do. Corrections? just expect that it will come most of the time. It's an unending cycle when we see it pumps.
I sincerely don't get why is that question repeating, obviously I haven't chosen to buy higher on purpose. I opened the question when I knew about btc world/thing + had my money available in the exchange.
The same reason why everybody didn't bought at $3000. And $200. And $5. I guess everybody would prefer buying before and at a better price than how they did.
All of you learn about btc and/or got some money at some point, and there was other people before you who entered in a better moment than you that could make the same question.
I'm sorry if that bothers you but it's the usual question that you'll get from people because just few hours ago the price was lesser by $500. I see the point of your justification and I have heard of that before because there's a motion for the market.
And with that said, it's better to buy when there's a movement not that when it's too stagnant because it seems too unstable and the direction isn't sure where it will go.
