Well I can not wait for getting my next salary check this week. After I pay off some of my expenses and spend some money on a birthday gift for my dear friend, I know am going to add more sats to my portfolio.

We can see this correction in price for a bad thing or for a good thing. If you are 'bullish' like I am well then you can take advantage of these cheap coins like I am going to do. We must make the best out of this bad position and just HODL.
The dip is only for people who are prepared for it and not for those who don't bother about it because it comes like a thief in the night when no one is expecting it. It might be that before you will take your paycheck this week, you might not see this current price and that is why a new investor does not need to bother about the dip because it will come and go when you don't expect it.

People who are planning for the dip are those bitcoin investors who have kept their reserve funds for the dip and those investors who are on their regular DCA buying every week or monthly because they are in their early stage in bitcoin and will surely buy bitcoin at different market price.
You are right and that has now made it paramount to know by all investors that the dip will not always come when you expect it, you don’t have to be waiting for it because it may or may never come your way or when you’re ready for it. Those that always take advantage of the dip are those that have enough money reserved for it before it even comes. The DCA method is a good way to accumulate a lot of bitcoin in your savings but if you’re able to also buy the dip when it is at its peak, you’ll gather enough that someone that does DCA wouldn’t have.

The DCA strategy is always proposed for those that have a lot of time to to accumulate bitcoin and don’t have the funds all at once to put in them, it is also encouraged to not buy all at once and do DCA in order to accumulate and get the average buy of bitcoin at a very much lower price. The times of the downtrend in the market is always the longest time and if you’ve been taking advantage of it through the DCA method, you would have had enough now and a much lower average price for a buy of bitcoin and the dip won’t scare you off.

DCA does not give you lower prices, and also holding back money waiting for the dip does not guarantee that you will end up geting more BTC or even getting the BTC that you get at lower prices.  In the whole scheme of things, those waiting for dips may well end up being disadvantaged by employing that tactic, unless they are merely using a buying the dip tactic to supplement an already existing DCA strategy while realizing that their buy the dips may or may not end up getting executed and the buying the dips might not even make enough of a difference to make it worth it to employ buy the dip strategies.

Once a person has accumulated a lot of bitcoin and becomes a bit indifferent about whether he has enough or not, such person might have more luxury to wait to buy on dips since he already has a decently good sized stash of bitcoin in light of his overall financial circumstances.

Overall, you should prioritise your DCA strategy while not hoping to get to buy at the dip when a dip comes in the market. Since nothing is certain in the market and you can’t tell when you can always see a dip in the market, you should focus on continuing your DCA strategy to reach your target. Before reaching that target or even after reaching that target, you can get an opportunity that the dip comes around and you can stack as much bitcoin as possible depending on the finance at hand. What I understand in the context of this all is that, follow your DCA strategy and when you’re able to reach your target quickly before the dips comes or after a dip, you can take advantage of the dip if you’re not satisfy with what you have yet in your portfolio or take advantage of it to reach your portfolio target quickly. Supplementing them both is good, DCA is always available to employ but the dip comes once in a while.
Those that wait for a dip to happen first before they can invest really don't understand how Bitcoin works and maybe didn't get a good education about Bitcoin and how the investment works, why wait for a dip that may never happen, I know of someone that always wait for a dip to happen first before he buys Bitcoin right now as I'm speaking to you he has not gotten anywhere in his Bitcoin accumulation.
Buying in the dip should be seen as an opportunity to accumulate more and not as a strategy of Bitcoin accumulation.
One may wait for a dip and it will be in vain this time around falls in Bitcoin always has a very small margin.
