When influencers promote the "buying the dip" or "DCA" scam, stop for a moment and reflect on this picture.
If you've only lost 10% in the spot market, you only need to gain 11% to break even - which is entirely possible.
But once the stock price drops by 50%, you will need a +100% price movement to recover.
And if influencers proudly claim they "bought the dip" after a -90% crash - I have bad news for you:
You now need a massive increase of +900% to break even.
And here comes the next trick.
Once the asset miraculously returns to your original entry point, influencers start promoting a new narrative: "diamond hands."
But remember: your breakeven point is someone else's profit of +900% - that's a huge return.
Think broader: if your price is up by +900%, will you take profits... or will you keep waiting and hoping?
Don't fall for the traps of exchanges, influencers, or platforms that show losses only as a percentage from the top.
Open the chart and measure from the bottom to the top - this is the real loss percentage you should care about.
