Who told you that a good bitcoiner will first wait for bitcoin to dip before buying? That person is a gambler and not a good bitcoiner because a good bitcoiner will always buy bitcoin at all time using the dca method to buy bitcoin because with the dca method you can buy constantly regardless of the price, while waiting will slow down your bitcoin process you won't have enough bitcoin to your portfolio so you should stop using the buy the dip method and go to dca method so you that you can be buying regularly with your discretionary Income and hodl bitcoin for 4-10 years without selling.
A real investor will never wait for a fall to buy DIP. If you are waiting for a fall to buy DIP, then you are probably short-term investing. Because a real investor will never wait for a fall. He will buy continuously by relying on his net income or his money.

In as much as am not a fan of waiting for the value of Bitcoin to dip before making a purchase, that doesn't mean that buying the dip makes you a short term investor, don't you know that their are so many Investors out there that are very close to the end of their accumulation journey, they no longer buy on a regular basis again, because they have that leverage of waiting to buy during the dip.
Where it's really wrong waiting for the dip before buying is when you have no Bitcoin or less stash of Bitcoin in your possession, at that instant, you don't wait, you just buy it regardless of it current price in other to increase your stash as much as possible, then if their is a dip in the market, you might decide to buy aggressively only if you have the financial leverage to do so, but waiting as a low or no coiner is actually a terrible mistake in my own opinion.
So what am trying to say is that you should take note that buying only the dip doesn't make you a short term investor, the only wrong thing about buying only the dip is that you may lose a whole lot of buying opportunities which is very bad for a low or no coiner.
