By my experience, Riding the wave is the easier one, but is also riskier since you never know when the wave will stopped. But Buying the dip mostly turn your investment into profit slowly but its sure.
Going with experience is very good but still going with riding is never been good idea because this can go anyway, and it's really riskier for funds specially newbies never try to do things like this recently we have some very bad things in crypto which started by Elon Musk so must chances many will follow them, and they will manipulate and give big after shocks. The most important thing is that we can be patient waiting for the price to go up, and don't panic if after we buy the price goes down. It will be back, and we stuck in high price.
