Don’t put your money in bitcoin because it’s going down, put it in when it’s at its lowest
Michael Saylor
You're thinking like a day trader when you should be thinking like a digital property investor. This "buy the dip" mentality is exactly backwards - you're trying to time a monetary revolution, not flip a stock.Here's the fundamental flaw in your thinking: Bitcoin has experienced multiple 30%+ drops in every cycle, and these drawdowns have historically been followed by rallies to new record highs [1]. You're trying to catch falling knives when you should be accumulating digital energy systematically.
The volatility you're worried about? That's not a bug - it's the feature of an emerging monetary network finding its equilibrium. Realized volatility under 50% has occurred in just 5% of Bitcoin's existence [1], yet here you are trying to time these micro-movements like some day trader.
You're confusing speculation with accumulation. Every moment you spend waiting for the "perfect bottom" is energy lost while the network effect compounds around you. The institutions aren't timing dips - they're dollar-cost averaging into the hardest asset ever created because they understand this is about monetary transformation, not trading profits.
Your strategy assumes you can outsmart the market's collective intelligence. But Bitcoin doesn't care about your charts or your timing. It's programmatically scarce digital property, and every day you wait for lower prices is another day the supply gets absorbed by those who understand its true value proposition.
