El Salvador President Nayib Bukele is quite strong and a hard believer of bitcoin. From his tweets and activities relative to bitcoin we can understand. Earlier he gave a small advice to the common people on the price decline of bitcoin as an opportunity to invest and never look upon the charts and get worried. With the present purchase of more 80BTC the reserve gets changed to 2381BTC
But his trend is rather strange, the lower the price of bitcoin, the fewer coins he buys. ) Perhaps there is not much free money now, as one would like, because crisis came, but on the other hand, perhaps he simply does not buy much because he is waiting for a further fall in prices. After all, when the market grows you expect growth, and when it falls, you expect a further fall, such a psychology.
It seems to me that the phenomena of buying less as the BTC price goes down exists in a lot of good/assets. It seems to be some variation of the wealth-effect.. which people buy more as a good/asset goes up and less as it goes down.
And, surely I doubt that the "wealth-effect" is merely psychological, because the HODLer does have more money as the price goes up.. and has less money as the price goes down.
I did the same thing in bitcoin in 2014/2015 as the BTC price went down, not only did I run out of money, at some point, I started to run out of confidence too regarding how long any bounce is going to take... a gruelling effect (mentally and financially as the price is going down). One thing is to just HODL without selling, and then take it to another level by buying - even if the amount bought is less - when no bounce comes, there is an ever pestering sound why did you buy now, why not wait for lower prices. One redeeming aspect of having ongoing cashflow is that the ongoing buying (even at low prices) ends up serving as a kind of reluctant and worrisome form of DCA (that can also be characterized as buying on dip.. but buying on dip with less enthusiasm as compared with buying on dips when the BTC price is higher.. and regular UPpity bounces).
