When a bear market arrives, many people feel anxious about whether to enter the market. The answer is actually simple—buy in batches. Why not buy all at once? Because no one can precisely hit the lowest point. Buying in parts can help you average down your cost. During a bull market cycle, sell in batches as well to lock in profits. This is the basic rule for surviving long-term in the secondary market.



To put it simply, the secret to making money in the crypto world is not complicated—it's four words: control your desires. When prices surge, wanting to buy the dip; when prices plummet, wanting to go all-in; the result is often the worst losses. Steady traders never do this. They understand that only through the accumulation of volume can a qualitative leap occur. This is similar to doing business in real life—be patient, plan carefully, and progress step by step, ultimately leading to exponential gains. Bear markets are not scary; what’s frightening is losing control of your mindset.

actually... nobody talks about the real trust assumptions baked into dca strategies. like, you're assuming market efficiency, but what's your information set? most retail traders don't even know what data they're blind to 🤔

That's correct, you just need to stay calm and not be scared by the market to make reckless moves.

Haha, you're right. I was doing this three years ago, now just lying flat and waiting for the returns.

That's right, you just have to hold back. I was tempted to go all in during the big dip before, and now I'm still stuck in it. DCA in batches has really saved me many times. Now I do it monthly, and my sleep quality has improved. Everyone understands this principle, but the key is to actually do it. Watching others go all-in and tenfold their investment, who wouldn't be tempted? The bear market is the time to position yourself, brother. Don't wait for the rebound and then regret it. Controlling desires sounds simple, but when the market dips, your mind becomes unclear. Bitcoin has dropped again this wave, so I have to continue DCA. Anyway, long-term it’s still going up. Buying all at once is not true wisdom. Now I set aside some every week to buy, and it feels much better.

That's right, but I'm worried that some people talk about staggering their investments, only to go all-in as soon as they hit the limit down...

Hearing the phrase "batch by batch" so many times, the key is still to have discipline; otherwise, even the best strategy is useless.

Smiling, I lost everything on this trade, and now I finally understand: controlling desires is even harder than controlling the price of a coin.
