I doubt that Wind_FURY feels sad.  He still thinks (at least that is what he says) that waiting for the dip is a better strategy instead of buying bitcoin regularly, persistently, consistently ongoingly and/or even aggresssively.  Historically he missed out on a lot of bitcoin buys and he also believes that what he is doing is best.  From my perspective, he seems to be in denial.

Well, the mindset of waiting to buy only when the dips occur is not a better strategy to invest in bitcoin for someone who really wants to go far in bitcoin investment. As a matter of fact, I think that the only thing that will make someone to have such mindset is simply because the individual is focusing on trading for quick gains and not really investing for the long term goal, meaning that the individual is not seeing bitcoin investment as a long term investment which is a very wrong mindset . The moment an individual  sees bitcoin as a long term investment, then the individual wouldn’t wait to buy only when the dips occurs in the sense that you won’t only be denied of some investment opportunities, rather it will also make you a very lazy and unserious investor who might end up not even continuing with your accumulation or investment because you’re waiting for the dip which may never occur and you will just give up on the process. Instead of waiting for the dip to occur, that time you’re waiting would have been used to accumulate little by little and gradually build up your portfolio, and along the line as you progresses and if the time to buy the dip presents itself, it would only be  an added advantage. So for me I do not support the mindset of waiting to buy in the dip, is never the better strategy for an investor whose initial strategy is focused on the long term goal of accumulating and holding, rather it will only be an added advantage to the investor to accumulate when the opportunity to buy in the dip presents itself.
Instead of waiting for dip before you buy why not use DCA method to accumulate and store your assets to grow and appreciate in due course,because i see most investors adopting buying bitcoin in dip as a strategy,though,it is not the best form of investment strategy if only you really want to stay active and make a difference during the investment process.

 Bitcoin is a store of value an as such it doesn’t lose value irrespective of the market system and you can be guarantee with profits at the end of the market.
To me i will always advise any investors to use a discretionary income and adopt DCA method to buy bitcoin,then hodl it for longer time cos is an investment so you shouldn’t expect high returns for a short period of time.It need time to grow,build and gain momentum for proper maximization of profits.
Most persons tends to lose more funds from buying in dip strategy compare to DCA method due to its volatility nature and market conditions as well.
