The โBuy the Dipโ Trap No One Talks About ๐๐
When influencers say โjust DCAโ or โbuy the dipโ after a massive crashโฆ pause for a second. Letโs break down the math behind those losses โ because itโs not as simple as they make it seem.
The Reality of Recovery:
โข ๐ป Lose 10% โ Need +11% to break even
โข ๐ป Lose 50% โ Need +100% to break even
โข ๐ป Lose 90% โ Need +900% to break even
Let that sink in.
If youโre holding a coin that dropped 90%, you now need a 10x rally just to get back to zero. Not profit โ 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:
โDonโt sell yet. Diamond hands ๐โ!โ
โThis is just the beginning!โ
But hereโs the catch:
๐ Your break-even point is someone elseโs +900% profit.
Ask yourself:
If you were up 900% โ would you take profits or keep holding and hoping?
The Hidden Trap:
Platforms and influencers often show losses from the top down (e.g., โdown 80% from ATHโ).
But the real pain comes when you zoom out and measure from bottom to peak:
โข $1INCH
โข $ICP
โข Countless othersโฆ
They didnโt just dip โ they imploded. And recovery requires miracles, not just patience.
Final Thought:
Buying the dip works in healthy trends โ not in dying projects.
DCA works with fundamentally strong assets โ not with coins that may never recover.
Before you press โBuy,โ ask yourself:
Is this a temporary dipโฆ or a long-term downfall?
Think in risk-to-recovery ratios โ not just price.
Because what feels like a bargain might just be a value trap.
