that's why old folks in Bitcoin like sir JJG would always advise on buying the dip and holding.

I won't dispute that I might say something like that because I say a lot of things that include various ways that people (especially no coiners and low coiners) should consider buying bitcoin, and of course, buying bitcoin is more important for people who are either low coiners or no coiners, and it likely won't even take a lot of bitcoin, like you suggested Dr.Bitcoin_Strange, to be able to profit from some kind of an ongoing buying of bitcoin earlier rather than later.

So the punch line is to buy, and get off zero.. figure out your financial and psychological situation in order that you know how much BTC you can buy without getting forced to sell any of your BTC at a time that is not completely of your own choosing...so many times, in order to be a good and potentially aggressive buyer of bitcoin, you have to figure out your own financial and psychological circumstances,

...but if you are not ready, willing and able to be aggressive in regards to bitcoin and to look into your own specifics in regards to your finances and your psychology, you can still get off of zero by just buying small amounts of BTC.. and setting it aside.. so there surely are ways to not really get to know bitcoin, but still take some kind of a position in bitcoin, to study it along the way or just to defer studying it while still taking a position in bitcoin so that you get off zero..

It seems that in the coming 1-10 years, a lot of people are going to continue to fail/refuse to get off zero, so likely the next 1-10 years will still be early for those people who are taking a BTC position, getting off of zero, and maybe even better for those people who are being somewhat introspective about their finances and psychology in order that they would be able to be more aggressive in their BTC accumulation (without going overboard into overly aggressive status and then getting shook out of their BTC), but still we never know when the BTC price is going to fail to come back down.. so it seems better to get started in the bitcoin accumulation journey early, even though we know a lot of normies will continue to fail/refuse to do anything in regards to bitcoin beyond perhaps thinking about it (and perhaps thinking about it in various wrong kinds of ways and failing/refusing to do any research into their various misconceptions...).

Thank you op for the topic, I also have great love for bitcoin, I also discovered bitcoin in 2016, and that discovery was the beginning of a better live for me, but I am still not very much happy though, cus I still believe I missed to invest in bitcoin when I really should have, but this was due to lack of finance, coupled wit the fact I did not even expect bitcoin to become as big as it is today.

In the 2016, 2017, 2018, I was busy looking for ways to earn Bitcoin for free through faucets, and also chasing after airdrops, I really should have spent that time looking for how to save up from my little salary back then, to buy bitcoin, but I didn't, this is still one of my regrets even till date..

But generally though, I am still very much happy with all I've been able to achieve in my life through bitcoin, without bitcoin, I honestly can not tell what my life would be looking like right now.

Yep.... I know that a lot of people did not want to buy bitcoin, and they just wanted to earn it.. and some people still think like that.

So, part of the issue even back in 2016-2018 (and believe me the same thing was happening in 2013-2015), there could have been a variety of ways that people increased their income and reduced their expenses and used some amount of that extra money to buy bitcoin. which would have had caused considerable differences in their lives.. ..

...so many of us have made various kinds of mistakes, and so like you said, we have to figure out how to build/maintain our BTC stash from here.. rather than regretting the mistakes that we made...and we also likely have to be careful not to engage in risky/or gambling behaviors because we are trying to make up for our past mistakes.. Those mistakes are water under the bridge and we have to attempt to develop reasonable, prudent and maybe even aggressive (if we so decide) strategies from the place that we are at.. and to be careful not to be so aggressive that we are going to end up making mistakes in the opposite direction.
