{"content":"When influencers promote the magic pill of “buy the dip” or “DCA,” take a moment to look at this picture.
If you lose just 10% on spot, you only need an 11% gain to break even — quite doable.
But once you're down 50%, you’ll need a +100% move just to recover.
And if influencers proudly claim they’ve “bought the dip” after a -90% crash — I’ve got bad news for you:
You now need a massive +900% rally just to break even.
And here comes the next trick.
Once — miraculously — the asset returns to your original entry point, influencers start pushing a new narrative: “diamond hands.”
But remember: your breakeven point is someone else’s +900% profit — that’s a massive return.
Think bigger: if you were up +900%, would you take profit… or keep holding and praying?
Don’t fall for the traps of exchanges, influencers, or platforms that only show losses as a percentage from the top.
Open the chart and measure from the bottom to the peak — that’s the real percentage loss you should care about.
