) Don’t try to “catch the bottom”

BTC often drops further even after it looks cheap. Many people lose money trying to guess the exact lowest point.

2) Use Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)

Instead of buying all at once, you buy small fixed amounts regularly (for example weekly or monthly).

This helps smooth out price swings and reduces risk.

3) Better times tend to be:

During strong market dips or corrections (when fear is high)

After long downtrends (not during hype phases)

When you have extra money you can afford to leave long-term

4) Avoid buying when:

Everyone is hyped and saying “it will only go up”

Prices are pumping very fast in a short time (FOMO zone)

5) Think long-term

Bitcoin is extremely volatile in the short term. Many people treat it as a multi-year investment, not something to trade daily.
