"Buy the DIP and HODL, Buy low sell high"... Okay what's the high and the low, when do they ever happen, please somebody should tell me now
this is another instance where a newbie bumps on a topic and reads a wrong meaning to the context of the title of the topic because it somehow appears to send a different message from the context it's actually serving. Although we've talk about the fact that when an average newbie visits this thread, the first impression they get is that the thread is about buying Bitcoin only when it's at the DIP and then holding it till it's high and then sell it out. It's the same thing @solodoski might have misunderstood from having a glance at the topic without going through it content.
The thread title is provocative in that regard, so surely there is some need to go beyond the superficial - and some forum members do not even try.. they don't even read the OP or alternatively some of the recent discussion.
We cannot really expect any member to read 483 pages of this thread, but at least read a few of the posts might help to post something that is in the ballpark of on topic and relevant to the actual thread topic.... or at least relevant to some other post that might have brought up some other topic... but yeah, whatever, Solodoski seemed to have been shooting in the dark with his nonsense post.
For some time now I have been silently engaged in reading through this thread and without actually posting my thoughts, I have just scrolled through a few of the pages here in a bid to grasp as much of the content as I could.
That is the best way of learning, atleast no matter how difficult it is for you to grasp everything, surely there are some important things you have learnt but might not know how far you have understood it. Sometimes you give yourself a benefit of doubt to express yourself by quoting some people when you feel that what they said is not in the right track, irrespective of there rank. because here is a free place of learning and contributing and you don't put yourself in a situation of self doubt. actions they said speaks louder than words. Everyone is prone to making mistakes but that shouldn't mean you shouldn't test your knowledge by contributing, contribution positively to the thread by following up others will make you understand more, and don't get angry or get bullied when people respond to you in an ukward manner, you must grow thick skin to learn. as what make a man is frequent disappointment and challenges that propelled to a greater person. your contribution here is welcome expecially when you are on the right track.
Honestly, I still haven’t a clue as to what I’d even add to the discussion yet since I’m also struggling just to understand what is being talked about. It is already inside my lifin my mind that, before I begin to share my opinion or give my inputs, I want to be well informed on these things and the discussions that surround them.
You don't need to be well informed before you will Start contributing like I say above. All what you need is the basic understanding and start from somewhere otherwise you may get tired because most times The thread is not only one sided, it may digress and yet come back to its original stage due to complex observations and some misleeding contribution but when you know what the thread entails you do t really need to be confused. So my advice is just to start with the little knowledge you have otherwise here will look Boring to you. Your advice may be helpful to someone even if you haven't contributed all what you need is to
bring it on.
