Bitcoin is not something we might buy now and expect to become rich tomorrow. It is a long term investment, and anyone who wants to profit from it must be patient and not panic when the market falls. The fact is that Bitcoin price changes all the time, and this is normal. However, if you panic and sell quickly, you might lose more than you gain. Real investors realize this and remain calm when prices fall.
Now i would not ask anyone to accumulate bitcoin near the all time highs (specially those who do not have extra money) and in times where we know the cycle may end in a few months. For fresh investments, maybe one can wait for a year or so and then he can get better prices to get into bitcoin. For those holding bitcoin, they should keep holding and shouldn't sell early there is still chance that bitcoin may 1.2x to 1.5x from the current prices.
Time waits for no man likewise bitcoin price, which is the main reason why a new investor shouldn't wait for the bear market and should start buying right away if he has his discretionary income ready. Waiting for the bear market is not a guarantee that you will buy bitcoin cheaper because nobody knows what price will be the bottom line of the bear neither does anyone know when the bear market will start. Therefore, waiting for the bear market is a blind decision and strategy to think of.
There are a loy6of disadvantage of waiting for the bear market. Firstly, you can spend the available funds when an emergency plays out that needs urgent attention and you don't have funds on ground to tackle it. You will use the money and might not be able to buy bitcoin when they bear market arrives. Secondly, it leads to procrastination and keep you as a no coiner while others are busy building up their bitcoin investment and piling up wealth for their future but you will just be stagnant financially.
Lastly, you will regret in future for waiting when bitcoin price will have reached $1m because, you could have started buying now and accumulate a good size of bitcoin stash before that time. You will end up with little bitcoin. See bitcoin as a store of value to save your funds from losing value overtime and start investing right away. Instead, of keeping fiat that depreciates in value overtime.
