🌑 Late night 11:55, BNB $606, I'm still stacking
You might think I'm crazy.
BTC $63,975, ETH $1,779, BNB $606, SOL $69.8—four major players still scraping the bottom, taking another hit since my last post. $680 million liquidated in the last 24 hours, 64,000 people wrecked, and Binance Square is filled with "delete the app" type of despair.
But here I am, sitting in front of my screen, jotting down today’s buys.
Not because I'm smart, but because I entered the game in 2021 and have seen this "doomsday" script play out too many times.
First, let’s talk about what the market is fearing today—three things:
Firstly, Iran. The tension in the Strait of Hormuz hasn’t eased, Brent crude is wobbling at $94+, and sticky inflation is still a concern. Warsh’s FOMC on 6/16 is approaching, and the market is already pricing in "one more rate hike". In traditional macro logic, rate hikes kill risk assets, and BTC is the first to feel the burn.
Secondly, the attitude of smart money. Today’s on-chain data is worth analyzing: almost all smart money positions on BSC have pulled out, FSTOCK exit 98%, Apple Life exit 98%, Exchange the World exit 98%, BStocks exit 97%—a clear signal of "I’m done playing". There’s a serious divergence on Solana, with RICH exiting 0% still holding strong (+0.81x unrealized gain), GACHA exiting 2% barely moving, and SV151 exiting 62% still holding on. Smart money isn’t moving in the same direction—BSC has laid down, while Solana is still resisting. That’s the real signal.
Thirdly, the narrative around the retreat of Strategies and ETFs. Michael Saylor sold 32 BTC from his 840,000 BTC stash for $2.47 million, and the "faith collapse" story has been circulating for a week. ETFs have seen continuous outflows of over $40 billion, with AUM shrinking by $100 billion in two weeks. Institutional money is fleeing, while retail is stepping in.
What the market fears are these three things—geopolitical issues + tightening liquidity + faith collapse.
But I have to say something that might get me criticized: I’ve seen all of this news before in 2022.
LUNA collapse, FTX disaster, USDC depeg, Three Arrows Capital liquidation, the March 12 crash, the May 19 crash—every time there’s a sob story of "this time it’s different", it ultimately becomes fuel for the dollar-cost-averagers.
Why?
Because of unit cost.
When I first dollar-cost-averaged into BTC in 2021, BTC was at $47,000. Today it’s $63,975. It looks like it has risen 36%, but it has gone through four major retracements before bouncing back. During the same period, my average cost for dollar-cost-averaging BNB was $580, and today it’s $606—after five years, the average price of BNB hasn’t changed much. But with the same amount of USDT, I could buy 16% more BNB during the panic sell-off in March.
That’s the true magic of dollar-cost averaging: what gets hammered down isn’t "losses", but rather "unit cost". You don’t need to predict where the bottom is; you just need to buy the same amount of USDT during each panic.
But here comes the controversy—
The fear index is at 12 (plummeting from yesterday's 23), and the market is in extreme fear. As a 30-year DCA veteran, do I dare to stack more in this situation? Or rather, do I even have the bullets to stack more?
My answer: Yes, I dare, and I will.
Not because I’m fearless, but because I’m afraid of something else—when my grandson looks at my books in 2056, I don’t want him to see that grandpa didn’t buy when the market was at its most fearful from 2021 to 2026.
I still have $30,000 USDT in my account, and today's script feels like "Double Eleven discounts". I’ll buy more BTC and BNB—money that doesn’t affect my living and isn’t leveraged, the discipline of 30-year DCA is simply those five words.
But I also understand another perspective—
Despite the BNB ecosystem having VanEck ETF approval, Maxwell’s 0.8-second block upgrade, bStocks tokenization, and the 35th quarterly burn—so many positives stacked up, BNB still dropped to $606. Technically, it has completely broken down; should I stop-loss? Should I cut my losses?
So today’s question is:
When smart money has cleared out 98%, fear index has plummeted to 12, institutions are retreating, and geopolitical tensions are converging—
Are you willing to stack more? Or rather, do you still have bullets to stack more?
It’s been five years, day 26, 30-year DCA’s 26th buy-in.
Fear is the best gift, but the prerequisite is—don’t fall asleep in the car. 💎
