The “Buy the Dip” Trap No One Talks About 📉🔁

When influencers say “just DCA” or “buy the dip” after a massive crash… pause for a second. Let’s break down the math behind those losses — because it’s not as simple as they make it seem.

The Reality of Recovery:

• 🔻 Lose 10% → Need +11% to break even

• 🔻 Lose 50% → Need +100% to break even

• 🔻 Lose 90% → Need +900% to break even

Let that sink in.

If you’re holding a coin that dropped 90%, you now need a 10x rally just to get back to zero. Not profit — just break even.

Now the Mind Games Begin:

Right when your coin finally comes back to your original entry, influencers and CT voices start chanting:

“Don’t sell yet. Diamond hands 💎✋!”

“This is just the beginning!”

But here’s the catch:

👉 Your break-even point is someone else’s +900% profit.

Ask yourself:

If you were up 900% — would you take profits or keep holding and hoping?

The Hidden Trap:

Platforms and influencers often show losses from the top down (e.g., “down 80% from ATH”).

But the real pain comes when you zoom out and measure from bottom to peak:

• $1INCH

• $ICP

• Countless others…

They didn’t just dip — they imploded. And recovery requires miracles, not just patience.

Final Thought:

Buying the dip works in healthy trends — not in dying projects.

DCA works with fundamentally strong assets — not with coins that may never recover.

Before you press “Buy,” ask yourself:

Is this a temporary dip… or a long-term downfall?

Think in risk-to-recovery ratios — not just price.

Because what feels like a bargain might just be a value trap.
