Talking about buying the dip and holding it in long term, we should consider this word "patient"  because any investors that is patient enough can't never wait for a long term investment than going for short term investment, some investors didn't have have self discipline when it comes to wait for a long term, that is why many are going for a short term investment, assuming Bitcoin can invent or program their way of investments from like 5 years up, so that many investors will not being using Bitcoin as a betting opportunity, since many make use of short term instead of long term investment.
I won't blame those who don't have patience to hodl bitcoin because it impossible to have patience on something you don't understand  and it takes only good understanding for one to have patience in hodling bitcoin.  One thing about hodling if you don't have understanding about it you can do anything to invest bitcoin for long. The understanding of bitcoin hodling is the reason why people can really exercise patience to hodl bitcoin because they really understand what they are doing.  Bitcoin is a longterm investment with good understanding you don't have to struggle or to so desperate to make money from it quick.

It is not only those who do not understand Bitcoin that are sometimes impatient holding for long term .However, even those who understand it can sometimes become impatient due to certain reasons. Even individuals with knowledge about Bitcoin may decide to become traders for aim of making quick profits, and once they do, it means they lack the patience to hold Bitcoin for a long time.

Another reason is that those with good knowledge of Bitcoin often want to take advantage of it by investing money they cannot afford to lose. When someone invests money they can't afford to lose, they are unlikely to hold for the long term.As for me, I would definitely blame those who lack the patience to hold Bitcoin. They fail to achieve success because of their actions, and they must be held responsible for their losses.
I disagree with you, I don't understand how someone who has good knowledge about Bitcoin can make decisions like a newbie? He already has good knowledge about Bitcoin, and he knows about the benefits and risks of Bitcoin. In my opinion, an investor who knows the essentials and is well-versed in Bitcoin will never decide to invest an amount of money that he cannot afford to lose. This kind of behavior is only for new investors who want to make a quick profit and take irrational risks due to greed. An investor who knows the real long-term potential of Bitcoin will never worry about short-term profits, even if Bitcoin dumps a lot or pumps a lot while continuing his holding, he will still continue his long-term investment and holding according to his goal.
It is possible that people with bitcoin knowledge acts more like traders than long-term investors, because they are after profit and they got the whole concept of investing run. Take for example, some people are in this forum that are still trading despite knowing that long-term investment is the best.

If you ask many of them how to go about you bitcoin investment, they will say buy at the bear market and sell at the bull run. If they buy bitcoin, two years before the bull run, they will sell when they see a new ATH regardless the timeline. I wouldn't call anyone that cannot hodli his bitcoin investment for a circle as an investor. These set of people are short sighted and fail to see what the future has for bitcoin because they feel is best to sell at high price and will miss out the compounding effect of your bitcoin portfolio.
