A long-term investment of 4 years to 15 years or more, an investor is not boarded about how the market goes either up or down,all he his focused on is how to buy more Bitcoin into his portfolio that will be beneficial to him in future .
You don't really have to wait for the dip before you invest more, just keep buying and accumulating in respective of how much Bitcoin is, and when the dip comes ,it gives you the opportunity to buy more and aggressively if you have reasonable amount of cash with you, it is not adviceable to wait for the dip, continuous investment is the best and the wright thing to do.
With people who join Bitcoin market and are in their first year in this market, going through one full market cycle that last about 4 years is already a long time. I believe that the Bitcoin market is volatile and wild enough to fear many newbies and no matter how confident they are at beginnings of their investment adventures here, first months inside this market would be very fearful and uncertain for most of them.

One market cycle is stressful with a lot of market fud news, and regulatory news and policy changes from governments globally. It is especially uncertain and more stressful in bearish months so before experiencing four years in this market, a full market cycle, there is not enough market tests from price to psychology on newbie investors here.

Before going through and surviving in all phases of a psychological market cycle, you are still a newbie here.

Actually, newbies will always be scared of their investments when it starts experiencing the real volatility that brings about the ups and down movements but it only makes those newbies become stronger because after they have experienced all these fluctuations they now begin to understand how the market works which can make them become stronger to finish a whole circle without thinking of selling their Bitcoins. Of course, one market cycle is 4 years, it will be so stressful for a newbie as they will think it's a lot of time but by then their portfolio might have started becoming huge already depending on the amount they have DCA in those years.
it is really funny for people to always think that it is only or mostly newbies that panic over market correction this is a very wrong mindset.Any investor with low risk tolerance will definitely panic and option for sale when ever there is a correction in the price of bitcoin whether newbie or not so I believe it is wrong to think that it is only newbies that panic over market correction.Those who has been fucking around trading bitcoin with the intense of making quick profit,that is short term investors they do panic when ever there is downtrend and as such most time sale at loss.

I think you are correct the truth is by default newbie are the people who panic the most because most of them don't have the basic knowledge of Bitcoin investment and secondly sometimes the reason why newbie panics is because of misconception, someone who has been in Bitcoin investment for long won't be having misconception unless there is a mental problem so normally newbie panic the most. Some newbie start Bitcoin investment without asking questions to know all the basic knowledge about Bitcoin investment they just jumped into it even in this forum some newbie who were refered by someone didn't ask for the basic things to know about the forum and then later they will be asking questions that they would have asked someone that refered them or bring them onboard and sometimes it can result to a lot.
I think most Bitcoin investors will not be alarmed by the price fluctuations as they have a long-term mindset. I also think that investors who are just beginners and started with $10 or $20 a week and are committed to holding on to Bitcoin for a point and moving forward will continue to accumulation regardless of the price and regardless of the price. The alarm should be for any newbie who is gambling with their wealth in the hope of getting rich in a short time.
In fact, an example of people who have been investing in Bitcoin for a long time is that they are confident that an asset will give them financial freedom in the future. By continuously accumulate to grow their holdings. The fact that I have been on the forum for over a year and have gained confidence in my ability to save Bitcoin is actually not a long time for me to accumulate for the long term, but I am confident that it would be easy for me to consider accumulation regularly for at least three cycles or more because I am not afraid of price fluctuations and I can grow myself financially through discretionary income.
