šØ The Shocking Math Behind "Buying the Dip" (Why Most Traders Go Broke)
Letās talk about the brutal truth that nobody tells youā¦
š» The Recovery Myth:
Down 10%? You need +11% to break even.
Down 50%? You need +100% (double your money).
Down 90%? You need +900% (10X ā just to get back to zero).
š” This is why blind DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) is risky advice.
š The Influencer Trap:
They yell "BUY THE DIP!" when itās down 90%.
Then as prices recover, they shout "DIAMOND HANDS!"
Reality?
They sell near your breakeven.
Whales dump on emotional dip-buyers.
ā How to Actually Win:
Measure gains from bottom to top ā not from the previous peak.
Never average down without a clear strategy.
Take profits aggressively ā 900% recoveries are rare.
š” The Golden Rule:
āIf you wouldnāt buy it at +900%, why are you holding it at -90%?ā
Drop a š if you've learned this lesson the hard way.
Protect your capital. Always.
