We are not talking about crypto (shitcoins) in this thread, and we are also not talking about trading in this thread. Some guys get mislead by the title of the thread to think that we are talking about trading, when really we are talking about investing.. which is different from trading (gambling).
Bitcoin is an investment and not a trade, and it is not a shitcoin, either so we need not talk about shitcoins when we are talking about bitcoin. Anyone in their earliest years of accumulating bitcoin should be focusing on just buying bitcoin through DCA, lump sum and buying on dips... those are the three ways to accumulate bitcoin. Trading (or selling) is not a good way to accumulate bitcoin, since if you sell you have less bitcoin and then you take the risk of having even less bitcoin if the BTC price does not end up going down. So buying BTC on an ongoing, persistent, consistent, regular and perhaps even regular basis is the best way to assure that you are continuing to grow your bitcoin stash while you are still in your accumulation journey. Once you get to a status of overaccumuation then at that point you might consider selling, but that could take 4-10 years or longer depending on how much a person is able to invest in bitcoin and/or if a person is able to front load his bitcoin investment.
You are right when I first came to this thread I was actually mislead by the tittle as I thinking it was some kind of trading and buying when it is low and sell when it is high until I begin to understand it was not actually trading and buying when there is dip, with the rank Z_MBFM in this forum he should have been able to know that this is not a trading thread or where to advice newbies to go into trading and also to buy shitcoins instead of accumulating Bitcoin but think he is new comer to this thread I believe he has learnt something today newbies who has also seen it now will not adhere to his misleading advises.
I think that we will continue to need to remind newbies to the thread, since there are so many people who get the impression of trading as soon as they see "buy the dip," yet at the same time, I think that the thread has a history in which "buy the dip" is the premise, and it even took the OP author (Wind_FURY) several years before he even began to realize that DCA is a better strategy than buy the dip....and that is o.k. too.. since it seems to me that so many folks get lured into thinking that they need to start investing in bitcoin with "a good entry point," and so they do not even realize that waiting for a good entry point is not as good of strategy as getting the fuck started and start buying as soon as they can figure out if they have discretionary income.
In the end, some newbies are going to learn, and some will continue with a trading kind of mindset that they have difficulties to shake...and if we are in bitcoin and if we are wanting to continue to talk to newbies, then we likely have to realize that many of them are going to gravitate towards wanting to talk about trading, gambling and even shitcoins, and so some of them will come around and others will take time to figure out that trading, gambling and shitcoins are either inferior ways to treat bitcoin or to think about bitcoin in those kinds of distracted (and lack of focus) ways.
