OK, at first I told myself that why is changing the title of the topic so unpopular - it's merely a title. I felt there was some pressure towards me to change it back to "Buy the DIP, and HODL". But why would I be pressured if it's merely a title?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Changed.
Even if you reluctantly changed it back, I am glad that you did it.... and as I already mentioned, it seems better to stick with the original title, even if your personal thoughts have evolved on the topic.
As far as other members go? Yep. it seems that more and more members participating in this thread see the value of DCA.. especially when they are beginners who are in the earlier of stages of building their BTC stash.. ... and so many times, there are going to be thoughts about whether buying the dip is a good idea or even whether any money should be kept on the side for buying the dip rather than buying right away, and surely there are tradeoffs in regards to those kinds of decisions.
The answer of what to do is not completely clear but likely is somewhat personally dependent on a variety of individual considerations, even though guys are going to continue to bat around the ideas of whether to hold money aside for buying on dip or to buy right away and even employ various compromise methods that attempt to balance their considerations and hold some value in each category.
Surely the discussion, the disagreements and the batting around of ideas about whether it might be better to buy right away or hold some value back for buying on dips has been done in the last 5 years of this thread - and who is going to go back and read 5 years worth of posts in order to figure out what they might want to do at the time that they are considering posting in this thread, when either new guys or returning guys are going to want to discuss the ideas within the context of what is happening at the time of their post and not necessarily within a historical context - so in that sense, the topic of buying on dip versus other BTC accumulation strategies remains live, even if the answer might still sometimes end up coming out similar as it had come out earlier - which is for guys to focus on getting their own finances/psychology in order so that whatever BTC accumulation techniques they employ to their own finances is largely tailored to their own personal financial and psychological circumstances rather than concluding that there is only one answer... even though some approaches might end up paying off better than others.. as we also have historically argued about those kinds of ideas in this thread.
