📉 The “Buy the Dip” Trap No One Warns You About...
Ever heard influencers say:
“Just DCA!”
“Buy the dip, easy!”
Hold up — let’s talk about the math they don’t show you.
Here’s the brutal reality of losses:
• 📉 Lose 10% → Need +11% to break even
• 📉 Lose 50% → Need +100% to break even
• 📉 Lose 90% → Need +900% to break even
Read that again:
If your coin crashes 90%, you need a 10x rally just to get back to square one. No profit. Just even.
And here’s where the mind games start:
As your coin finally claws back to your entry, the same influencers will tell you:
💎 “Hold tight! Don’t sell!”
🚀 “This is only the beginning!”
But think about it:
👉 Your break-even is someone else’s 900% profit.
If you were up 900%, would you hold... or take profits?
💡 Here’s the hidden trap:
Everyone loves to say “it’s down 80% from ATH”...
But they never talk about what it takes to recover.
Look at coins like:
• $1INCH
• $ICP
• (Insert your bag here)
These didn’t just dip — they collapsed.
🚫 Recovery isn’t just about waiting — it’s about whether the project can recover.

Key Takeaways:
✅ DCA works only with strong fundamentals.
✅ Buying dips works only in healthy trends.
✅ Not every low price is a “bargain” — some are traps.
Before you “buy the dip,” ask:
Is this a real dip... or a death spiral?
Are you risking for a potential reward... or throwing good money into a value trap?

Be smart. Trade wisely. Don’t let hopium blind you. 💯
