Exactly, the long-term thinking is the only thing that counts when it comes to Bitcoin. The people panic at each decline and they often lack the big picture. Voltiloity is only a part of the trip and DCA is a great method to iron out the ride. The fluctuations in the price over a period of time do not even bother you much when you invest your money slowly but steadily. With time, history has it that those who wait patiently and stick to their commitment are in most cases better placed. It is not market timing but application of time in the market.
Good point, cause one who thinks long-term has made up their mind to be patient and determined to hodl for as long as possible till they achieve their target, ònce someone has built such mindset then there's no need for panic or getting misled by obstacles like Fuds, Dip etc. Every investor should understand that there's no bitcoin investment journey without volatility, the market is moved by demand and supply so it would definitely occur and investors who already know that fact would use the volatility to their advantage, I mean seeing the dip as an opportunity to buy more. Those who trace back to the history of Bitcoin are bound to succeed while investing on it cause it would teach them to remain committed and apply the right steps and approach in building their portfolio.
We all have our different aims of buying Bitcoin and it will determine how and when everyone of us can be willing to sell. For the specific purpose of this thread and discussion we are focusing on buying and hodl, if this is the strategy of any holder it means that they should be thinking long term. The essence of hodling Bitcoin is for long term and that should be the focus of determined holders, they shouldn't have regrets when they buy and price dips, they should understand that Bitcoin has the potentials to recover, rally and reach ATH.
Let every dip be an opportunity to accumulate more Bitcoin, if any investor can boost their accumulation funds let them buy more, this is what smart investors do. In this regard pump and dump becomes a win win advantages to smart investors. When price dip they can increase their stash, when price pumps they're in profit.
