You won't catch the bottom
When BTC was at 125k, this entire sub was bullish. The Fed had just cut rates, ETF inflows were solid, gold was rising, everything was screaming buy, targets as high as 200k! If you said BTC would drop below 100k, you would've been lynched.
2 months later, here we are.
Did anyone short at the very top?
The same will happen at the bottom. You won't realize it happened. It'll hit that price but you'll think it's going lower. The macros will scream sell, every post here will be about selling, and the bulls calling for 150k will be ridiculed.
Same pattern every cycle.
It's not market sentiment that drives price. It's price that drives sentiment.
BTC moves then everyone adjusts.
Therefore, DCA steadily.

More than 1.5 Million Customers Affected: A Brazilian Bank Just Went Bankrupt
In Brazil, a bank (Master) with over 1.5 million customers has just gone bankrupt due to corruption schemes, money laundering, and other crimes. The most downloaded app in the country right now is the FGC, a type of insurance fund that reimburses account holders up to a limit of about $50,000 if they had deposits or investments above that amount at the bank. In other words, if you had $200,000, you’d receive only $50,000 from Brazil’s Central Bank and absorb the rest of the loss. This is exactly why Bitcoin matters so much—it’s immune to situations like this.
