We who do not understand the Bitcoin strategy properly are afraid. Many people sell during market uncertainty, fearing market volatility, but experienced investors rather buy DIP. When the price drops, they invest according to the opportunity and hold it patiently. DIP does not just mean holding, it teaches us an economic lesson. Start small with Bitcoin every week, DCA consistently and hold patiently.
I think you've said things that are in line with Bitcoin investment which means you understand somethings about Bitcoin investment to your level of exposure in the investment, you don't have to be afraid of anything, at least you are aware of DCA method which helps you to buy Bitcoin segment by segment graduallly with what you can afford to maintain continuoussly without pressure of any kind, those that sell during the dips because of fear or volatility as you said aren't meant for long-term because I believe that every bitcoiner that has been in this space for atleast two cycles will understand that Bitcoin is a volatile asset as such volatility or dips can not make him or her to sell off his bitcoin when he knows that this volatility doesn't stay permanently on the dip and as a matter of fact volatility is what keeps the market going, I know we have our decisions to make differently but as newbie you can buy at anytime and my be intensify your buying during the dip but an OG here that has acquired a lot of Bitcoin can decide to keep buying during any available dip I think it is insta sable this way.
