This dire altcoin permabear and bitcoin secular bear move reiterates more than ever that dollar cost averaging is one of the worst things most retail investors can do in our opinion. Not financial advice. The number of morons, bots perhaps, screaming that bitcoin was cheap at $90k, and they were buying the dip, are the same morons that bought it at $120k. No different to the silver stackers still buying at $115. Some very big influencers, for example, have been extolling the virtues of Ripple, claiming the price will have to go to $10,000 just to cover replacing fiat payment rails. If you had bought XRP at the July 2025 high, the price has dropped to almost a third, $1.33. Personally, I can see it hitting $0.85. Once you have put whatever money you put into cryptocurrency, the first thing to do is to get that money out by swing trading and gain coins. Continue to swing trade and over time, you will end up with more coins. It is not sexy and it takes time. We have built automated trading software to do this, soon to be released but you can do this manually. You can read more about swing trading principles here. https://www.cryptostatto.com/article/Guides/About the platform/How-do-I-swing-trade-and-make-profit----Guide-to-Crypto-Statto-11-APR-2025
