Yeah, our endpoint is profit but only those without plan, target will get caught in this analogy of yours especially those who were present for immediate profit (gambling Bitcoin prices). Every financial market has time or seasons, let me say something have we considered why; Price sells from a particular point and why it buys from a point too, who were those involved, who bought at that higher price, who sold at that price, this are simple question we ought to clearify.
I always and will keep laying emphasis on the need for having a target and being discipline, DCAing with getting exhausted and allow the market do it thing and not being fretful because of pump or dumps in the market.
Sometimes new traders still find it difficult to carry out plans like that because usually they still use trading money from the money they use for their living needs so that when they are trapped at high prices they feel depressed and sometimes also consider cryptocurrency trading as gambling. As new traders they must get proper guidance.
Short-term trading has multiple psychological and socio-economic risks that will only increase over time as inflationary pressures add urgency. Every negative pressure can create a hindrance in your investment and even cause a downward trend in value which brings more depression. By well planned DCA management and long term investment in Bitcoin is a profitable system with high risk reduction. Many may think of starting their investment a bit late to buy on dips but Bitcoin tends to rise over time. New investors must DCA their deposit plan and have the necessary arrangements to manage for the long term. New investors can do more study in getting proper guidance about DCA strategy.
