I have known about Bitcoin for a long time, I did not want to give importance to it. I thought that maybe the price of Bitcoin would go down further and I would be able to buy from the dip. But after waiting, now in 2025, I understand that maybe if I could have bought Bitcoin at that time in 2024, I would have been able to buy it for 70 thousand per Bitcoin. But as time goes by, the price of Bitcoin is increasing. Moreover, the money that I had put aside has decreased slightly due to inflation. That is why I have now been able to realize that if I buy Bitcoin and hold it, then even if the price of Bitcoin decreases, I am safe because I want to accumulate Bitcoin there for a long time. If I make a bank or any other investment, my chances of loss may increase rather than profit. But Bitcoin is now becoming more attractive than other valuable assets. If i want to keep myself in this competition, I think it is better to accumulate it without waiting any longer.
First of all you acted like a fool because dips in bitcoin market are unpredictable, many people miss their investment by waiting for the dip time. Second, you made the wrong decision because you didn't buy Bitcoin even though you had the opportunity to buy Bitcoin. A person who has money should always think that the price of Bitcoin is low in the market right now so that he is interested in buying Bitcoin immediately, this means he should never wait for a specific dip time. Waiting for the dip period means later regret for not being able to invest, as per your mentioned statement you regret now because you missed the opportunity to buy bitcoins and miss the opportunity to invest. So maybe you still have enough time, i.e. still enough opportunity to invest in Bitcoin.
There are still many people who have done stupid things. They do not trust people outside the forum and give bad advice on Bitcoin. People only think about their own success. That is why they wait for the dip every time. But while waiting for the dip, they forget that no one can predict the Bitcoin market accurately. I have been involved in the Bitcoin market since the price of a Bitcoin was $29k. I have seen many big dips. Whenever there is a recovery after the dip, people's regret increases. But everyone should remember this.
There is no time required to invest in Bitcoin. You cannot wait for a dip. By following the DCA method, you can start investing as soon as possible and become a long-term investor.
