Re: Buy Bitcoin, and HODL!

The only people who's probably very happy with the current Bitcoin price movement are the DCA buyers and Buy the DIP bidders, because they are currently getting more units in Bitcoin for the same amount of fiat that they will be using/have available.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If in doubt, then always zoom out. Sit on your hands/don't panic.

still struggling with topic name change, still feels wrong

True dat. Me too.

It seems to me that there was no reason to change the title of a thread like this that had been running for more than 5 years and had "buy the dip in the title" from the start.

I personally believe that "buy the dip" is not as good of a technique as DCA (especially for beginners), but buy the dip is still both a valid talking point, a valid practice, it can be especially employed during situations of lump sum buying and front-loading of an investment, and buy the dip is something that a lot of those in their BTC accumulating stages will weigh and question what they should be doing and whether or not to wait for dips before buying.. and in the last two weeks, there surely has been some decently sized dips that could be taken advantage of.. even though none of us are really going to know how deep the dips are going to go or how long the dips are going to end up lasting.

The original title was "Buy EVERY DIP, and HODL". That was during 2019 when it was absolutely obvious that it was safe to buy all DIPs with everything that you had - leave just enough money in the bank account for bill payments of course. I changed it to "Buy the DIP, and HODL" - because DIPs were not the 2019 DIPs, then to simply "Buy Bitcoin, and HODL" because I was convinced by you, and other posters, that DCA is a good buying strategy to have mixed in with buy the DIP.

Plus it's merely a title, it's not that important compared to the things we learn from each other in the topic.

I stick with my original comments. I see no reason to change the title...... at least taking out the buy the dip part of it, since that is a contrasting idea. Your earliest edition was merely buy the dip, and then you added HODL. later.. yet I also don't see much difference between buy the dip and buy every dip.. and the inclusion of the idea of HODL .. does not interfere with the overall sentiment, since there surely can be reasons to just reverting to HODL (which is don't sell, and maybe even don't buy more since you are running out of money).. so sometimes HODL does come into play whether we are talking about the BTC price going up or down or sideways, there can be various reasons for HODL to be triggered... including sometimes loss of confidence during extended sideways periods.

Also, even though DCA has been talked about a lot in this thread and also lump sum versus DCA, I don't consider those to be conflicting ideas or even needing to be stated in the thread topic, which you had already gotten correct with your wanting to push the idea of buying the dip.. especially in the beginning, and there is nothing wrong with having that idea continue to be contained in the motivation of the topic since so many folks are still going to be weighing what they should do.. should they buy BTC right now or should they buy on the dip (that may or may not end up happening)...

I was a bit confused when I want to check the buy the dip and hold thread, I discovered that the original name has changed, it took me some time to confirm that it's the actual thread. Sometimes before people should do something they should consider the effect of such before doing it. Apart from being confused of the original thread, the other one is that it can be misleeding by changing the content of the thread even if it looks almost thesame, but it can still be misleeding expecially when most places has the coment buy the dip and checking some place buy every dip and so on. I am also using this medium as a plead to wind fury that this thread has gone so far to be tampered with otherwise it will make people confused from the intended meaning which has started some months or years back. Let me show you the changes you have made in this thread over time@wind fury

Re: Buy Bitcoin, and HODL!
So you can take a look at it for yourself @wind fury, I just think you return this thread to buy the dip and HODl which has created a popularity and dominated in the forum and has captivated the minds of people here.

You are right @Samlucky O, continuous change of the heading in the OP wasn't necessary at all but however, sometimes a thread can be moving away from it's original contents in the OP or from the topic of discussion then the OP can decide to change the topic as times goes depending if users making replies are starting to digress from the initial topic of the OP but in this regard, the numerous editing of the OP are all in line with the discussions in this thread even though it wasn't necessary, hence there is no cause for an alam inasmuch as our discussions here is not deviated from each changes made by the Original poster therefore i move the motion that the debate of OP changing the topic of discussion should be put to an abrupt end so that it doesn't distract people from making further discussions on the purpose in which this thread was created. My humble opinion

That your motion should not be granted and that motion should be put one side. Yes the Op created the thread and no one is disputing that fact, but don't forget that the thread was created for the public and because of that the community has a say when they feel that something is going in the direction that they don't like. If this thread remain the way it is and the people are losing interest in it do you think it will benefit anyone? The leaders of every organization, be it private or public are there to serve their community, if they bring any policy that the people think is not okay with them they will voice out their concerns and seek for redress. It is very obvious that majority of the active users of this thread are kicking against the change of name of the thread.

The Op has to look at the complaints of the users and act accordingly, provided that what the people are asking for doesn't go against the rules of the forum or goes against the principles of bitcoin investment. We just want to have a sense of belonging where our voices are heard. Even bitcoin belong to the masses and the masses use it the way they want, let us not feel as if we are in a centralized system were the leaders can just do things on their own without considering the feedback from their community.
