Your response shows both your hostility and your ongoing desire to underappreciate bitcoin's historical bullish performance that is likely continuing into the future.

A little bit of sarcasm doesn't help I guess. Also, I am also bullish for the long term, there is no problem trying to predict/guess a good buying spot in short term. Won't hurt anyone.

Where we are in our bitcoin accumulation journey is likely going to affect the various strategies that we might attempt to employ.

Even though I am a pretty big believer in BTC accumulation strategies that mostly emphasize DCAing, I have no problem when guys figure out various ways to buy on dips and also to lump sum invest (which might employ some combination of strategies of DCA'ing and buying on dips).. .and so even with the buying on dips and lump sum investing I consider them to be ways to supplement DCA'ing strategies - which is likely the best strategy in a lot of cases.

I am not much of an enthusiast towards the employment of a variety of BTC trading strategies if those are meant to be used to accumulate more BTC, absent if the trader might already have gotten to decently high BTC accumulation levels and/or profitability or that such trader is merely playing around with small portions of his/her BTC portfolio.

In other words, I am a pretty big advocate of attempting to employ more straight-forward means of merely buying BTC and HODL BTC in order to accumulate and preserve capital, and I don't really believe in selling BTC to buy back lower.. because it tends to be too risky and also has a lot of tendencies to not sufficiently emphasizing the preservation of BTC principle - however, once a person may well have gotten to pretty high BTC accumulation and/or profitability levels, I have no problem with selling small amounts on the way up as a means to provide a kind of insurance in case the BTC price falls back down, but those strategies emphasize a kind of insurance aspect rather than a primary means to accumulate more BTC...

By the way, another thing to consider once accumulating a good amount of BTC is just how much BTC to sell at various points on the way up.. There is a good thread about considering how to possibly skim off profits (referred to as raking).. which might be helpful for some members who want to consider how to think through and plan to establish their own mindset in the direction of when to sell, how much to sell and why to sell.

Another irritating angle can be when guys are seeming to talk their book rather than really attempting to be objective and to reasonably assess where they believe that the BTC price might go (of course this is more of a problem in terms of short term predictions). Sure, there can be some tendencies for any of us to talk a bit of our book, especially a lot of us are investing in BTC for a long time, so we have some tendencies to be biased towards the BTC price going up by the fact that we own a lot of BTC so our networth goes up more when the BTC price goes up as compared to when the BTC price goes down.

So, sure there can be some differences of opinion regard bitcoin's price direction, especially in the short-to-medium term - but also questions regarding how objective any of us might be in making our assessments of short-to-medium term BTC price dynamics..

I do believe that a lot of nocoiners, under invested in BTC folks, bitcoin naysayers and shitcoin pumpeners do readily like to accuse BTC HODLers as being biased by their BTC holdings.. sure there could be some amount of truth in some of that, but many times, those tend to be fallacious kinds of claims and frequently many of us bitcoin HODLers will consider that some of the BTC critiques do not own enough BTC which causes them to be biased in terms of not understanding BTC rather than that they are more objective because they are insufficiently invested in BTC.
