I understand your confusion. However leet me try to break it down in the simplest way I can..... There are different methods people use to accumulate Bitcoin, some of this methods includes
- DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging): When you buy a fixed amount of Bitcoin at regular intervals, no matter the price.
- Buying the Dip: Here you wait for price drops and then buy more when Bitcoin is more cheaper.
- Lump Sum: You invest a large amount into Bitcoin all at once.
- Earning of Bitcoin: Through work or services( like earning through the signature campaigns and so on) or any other means instead of buying.......etc.
Your whole point is very well put. But you said "Buying dips: Here you have to wait for the price to drop and then buy more when Bitcoin is cheaper." I feel a little confused about this sentence.
As far as I know, buying dips is not for an investor but for a trader.
You are Very funny mate. I know you are a newbie and may never understand everybit of this but Buying the dip is not for only traders but for all. Infact buying the dip is one method or strategy that investors use to mitigate by buying more Bitcoin when the market is bearish.
The three strategy to buy Bitcoin by investor has been listed which are
1. Buying the dip
2. lump sum
3. DCA
All This three strategy are perfect strategy to build a better portfolio. An investor mostly capitalize on DCA which is investing every week or month. Provided they have discretion inc. they can also lump sum at ago when their is a bonus recieved from a place of work. And they can buy the dip from their discretion when Bitcoin is dip and it does not mean that they are traders since they are not buying the dip for taking quick profit.
Let me throw more light on this in a more simpler way and easier understanding to Rhow, from what I understood, buying the dip is not a problem rather it can be problematic when it becomes a primary strategy where by you have to wait for a dip before executing buying Bitcoin, but those who has considered buying the dip as a secondary strategy and not their primary strategy they are still called investors and not traders, as you said and you also need to understand that an investor who has been long gone in their accumulation process maybe some where close to an over accumulation can decide to be buying the dips and may not be buying as frequently as before, to back you up I will say that a no or low coiner who has the conception of waiting for a dip before buying Bitcoin we can called them traders because their interest is only to buy low and sell high.
