When influencers promote the magic pill of "buying the dip" or "DCA," take a moment to look at this image.

If you lose only 10% in the spot market, you only need an 11% gain to recover — quite feasible.

But once you're down 50%, you'll need a +100% move just to recover.

And if influencers proudly claim they've "bought the dip" after a -90% crash — I have bad news for you:

Now you need a huge rally of +900% just to recover.

And here comes the next trick.

Once — miraculously — the asset returns to your original entry point, influencers start pushing a new narrative: "diamond hands."

But remember: your breakeven point is someone else's +900% gain — that's a massive return.

Think big: if you were up +900%, would you take profits… or would you keep holding and praying?

Don't fall into the traps of exchanges, influencers, or platforms that only show losses as a percentage from the top.

Open the chart and measure from the bottom to the peak — that's the true percentage of loss you should consider.
