Don’t lump sum into this dip. This is probably not the bottom and you’ll just be catching a falling knife, DCA in!

Every time I see a recommendation on this subreddit to ‘buy the dip’, I remind people that we don’t know if this is the bottom, and that you should be patient – don’t invest all your money at once, do it gradually. I’ve gained quite a few downvotes for commenting this, but I think it is solid advice.

Now, another dip has presented itself to us. The same advice holds true, we don’t know if the invasion will get worse, and so don’t invest all your money at once.

Here are some of the previous dips:

In November, BTC dipped from $65k to $57k, a 12% dip. If you had lump summed in then, **you’d be down 39% today.**

In December, BTC dipped from $57k to $49k, a 14% dip. If you had lump summed in then, **you’d be down 29% today.**

In January, BTC dipped from $47k to $41k, a 13% dip. If you had lump summed in then, **you’d be down 15% today.**

​

Now, I am not saying that you shouldn’t buy the dip, but do it gradually. Every dip seems like the bottom, but it most likely isn’t, especially with this geopolitical turmoil. Do not spend all your money on this dip, keep a good chunk of money to invest if the market falls further.

Lump summing now could be catching a falling knife – don’t get hurt.

  1. Don’t lump sum, but carefully make the most of an opportunity you have to decrease your average buy price. You’d be foolish not to.

  2. I will now do the opposite of what this reddit post tells me. It works for me to go against what people on reddit post for some reason

  4. Nobody knows shit about fuck and nobody can even predict one minute into the future.

    DCA should be default strategy no matter the market conditions.

  6. If I’ve 1000$, I would buy 200$ worth of coins Iwas targeting now. Next dip, next 200$ until I run out of cash.

    I have already run out!!

  7. That’s right, I see 10-12 dollar a gallon gasoline, Dow industrial of 28,000 and a 20 K Bitcoin before things begin to settle.

  8. Every week I just take whatever random money I have and throw it into crypto.

    I’m not doing MATH. I’m not looking at whether I’m UP or DOWN.

    I have NOT THE SLIGHTEST CLUE what my entry is to anything and/or whether I’m in the green or red. I just know I have more saved than my peers.

    I’ve learned this is the only way I can invest: by being COMPLETELY unaware of whether I’m up or down.
