The "Buy the dip" trap that nobody talks about 📉🔁
When influencers say "just DCA" or "buy the dip" after a big collapse... stop 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:
• 🔻 Loses 10% → You need +11% to break even
• 🔻 Loses 50% → You need +100% to break even
• 🔻 Loses 90% → You need +900% to break even
Let that sink in.
If you have a coin that dropped 90%, you now need a 10x rebound just to get back to zero. No profit — just break even.
Now the mind games begin:
Just when your coin finally returns to your original entry, influencers and voices from CT start to sing:
"Don't sell yet. Diamond hands 💎✋!"
"This is just the beginning!"
But here's the trick:
👉 Your break-even point is the +900% profit of someone else.
Ask yourself:
If you were up 900% — would you take profits or keep holding and waiting?
The hidden trap:
Platforms and influencers often show losses from top to bottom (for example, "down 80% from ATH").
But the real pain comes when you zoom in and measure from bottom to top:
• $1INCH
• $ICP
• Countless others...
They didn't just fall — 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 hitting "Buy", ask yourself:
Is this a temporary drop... or a long-term decline?
Think about risk-to-reward ratios — not just price.
Because what looks like a bargain could just be a value trap.
