#Bitcoin has started to decline again recently, and many people are asking me if it's time to buy.
My answer remains the same: I am still waiting.
It's not that I don't believe in Bitcoin; on the contrary, one of the assets I am most optimistic about in the long term is BTC.
But after experiencing several bull and bear cycles, I am increasingly convinced of one thing:
The real turning point to change your fate is often not when everyone is still hopeful, but when the market is silent, no one dares to buy, and some even think "Bitcoin is over."
Buying Bitcoin in a bull market earns you trend profits.
Buying Bitcoin at the bottom of a bear market earns you the money from cycle mispricing.
I'm not in a rush to catch the rebound now, nor do I want to prove I can buy at the lowest point.
I prefer to wait for a position that makes me confident to hold heavy, to hold for years, and that I can sleep well at night.
Investing doesn't mean you have to act every day.
Sometimes, the most important move is:
Keep cash in hand, patiently wait for the bear market to truly present opportunities.
A sharper version:
Bitcoin has fallen, and I am even more calm.
Many people shout "buy the dip" at the drop, and fear missing out when it rises.
But my attitude toward BTC now is very simple:
Long-term optimistic, short-term not in a hurry.
The real big opportunity doesn't appear when everyone still believes the bull market hasn't ended, but when everyone is cursing, afraid, and no longer willing to touch it.
I don't want to use up my bullets for a rebound and deplete my resources for the future bear market bottom.
Bitcoin won't disappear just because I buy a few months late.
But if I open my position too early, when the bottom truly arrives, I might have no ammunition left.
So my strategy now is very simple:
Don't chase, don't rush, don't predict the bottom.
Wait for the sentiment to cool down, wait for the price to be thoroughly shaken out, wait for the odds to truly favor me.
