Why Everyone Who Said "I'll Buy When $BTC Hits $X Never Actually Does
We've all been there. Bitcoin's at $70k and you think, "Way too high, I'll wait for the dip.
It drops to $50k. Perfect, right? Wrong. Now you're thinking, "What if it goes to $40k? I'll wait a bit more."
Then it happens. Bitcoin hits $40k. But instead of buying, you freeze. The charts are blood red. Twitter's filled with "crypto is dead" posts. Your gut screams that it might drop to $30k, $20k, or lower.
So you wait. And wait. And wait.
Next thing you know, #Bitcoin 's back at $65k. "I missed it," you tell yourself. "I'll buy on the next dip."
Here's the brutal truth: the price you're comfortable buying at when Bitcoin is rising feels terrifying when it's actually there during a crash. That $40k you wanted? It felt like $40k too much when everything was falling apart.
The psychology is simple: our brains are wired to buy what's going up (#FOMO ) and avoid what's going down (fear). We think we're being smart and strategic, but we're really just slaves to emotion.
The people who actually win? They set their buy orders and execute them mechanically, emotions be damned. They buy when they said they would, not when it "feels right."
Because in crypto, if it feels right, you're probably already too late.
