You have probably heard it hundreds of times:
'Buying when it drops is a golden opportunity!'
'The more it drops, the more you should accumulate!'
'Just DCA regularly, you will profit no matter what!'
It sounds sweet as sugarcane. But in reality?
It's as bitter as an altcoin chart in the crypto winter.
This is the problem that people often... deliberately overlook:
• Coin drops 20% → needs to increase 25% to break even
• Coin drops 50% → needs to increase 100% to return to the old point
• Coin drops 90% → needs to increase 900% to break even
Do you see the problem yet?
The more you DCA at a false bottom, the more you tie your capital to a dying project. No profit, no way out.
And when the coin starts to struggle a bit, the 'anonymous experts' reappear:
📢 'Hold tight! Don't sell quickly, there's still more to go up!'
📢 'The drop is just to test your confidence, my friend!'
Sorry, but the mentality of 'a draw is a win' is a dead end for losers.
When you're celebrating returning to shore, the sharks have pulled all the money out, inviting you to chase the new peak.
Any specific examples?
$CEL, $FTT, $LUNA — everyone has once been the 'cheapest in history' before... becoming history.
You think you're investing in value. But in reality, you're nurturing hope for a zombie that can't be revived.
So...
⛔ Not every coin that drops is worth DCAing
⛔ Not everything that is '-90%' is a 'bargain'
⛔ Not every influencer trades as they say.
Before investing, ask yourself:
• Is this project still alive?
• Is there cash flow coming back yet?
• Where is the overall trend?
Just buy by instinct, without analysis — you're playing the lottery, not investing.
