Every time there's a major dip, most people choose to buy the dip, while a few increase their positions. My idea is actually very simple— the colder the market, the greater the opportunity.

In other words, when others are panicking, we position ourselves and build positions batch by batch, accumulating chips. What's the benefit of doing this? Costs are spread out, and risks are diversified. When the market reverses and prices rise, those latecomers who chase the rally will enter, giving us the chance to cash out at high levels.

This isn't a complicated strategy; it's contrarian thinking— the most desperate times in the market often signal a turning point. By accumulating more cheap chips, it may look like we're just hoarding coins, but in reality, we're waiting for that moment of reversal. What do you think of this logic?

That's right, it's about quietly building positions when others are taking losses. I actually get excited when panic selling occurs—buying cheap chips, what better time? This kind of contrarian thinking has long been second nature, but the key is whether you can maintain the right mindset. To be honest, most people simply can't do it; their mentality collapses at the sight of a daily limit hit.

That's right, it's about quietly picking up bargains when others are taking losses. Reverse thinking really works; the key is to stay calm. This wave of decline, I would say, is actually filtering out those who truly have patience. How can so many people really stick with it? Most have already lost their composure. It's really a psychological game of betting, seeing who can hold on longer.

Reverse thinking is correct, but it depends on your mental resilience. The worse you fall, the easier it is to bounce back.

That's right. By adding positions batch after batch, the average cost decreases, which makes me feel more secure. After all, my faith is still here.

Sounds great, but in reality, most people can't hold out until that reversal moment and have already cut their losses. To be honest, averaging down sounds good, but in practice, it really depends on mental resilience and having enough bullets. Reverse thinking isn't wrong; the problem is how do you know the bottom is really there, or is the risk of continuing to fall greater? What is the fundamental difference between adding positions and bottom fishing? Isn't it just different mindsets—one optimistic, one pessimistic? I just want to ask, how many times have you predicted this wave correctly... Be honest.

Basically, it's about patience and mindset. I used to think the same way, but ended up being stuck for three years.

That's right, it's about quietly getting in when others are cutting losses. I've understood this logic after playing with it for so long; the key is to have patience. Accumulating coins, it sounds simple but actually tests your mentality... really. But on the other hand, how do you determine the bottom? That's the tricky part. Buy in batches at low levels, sell in batches at high levels. It sounds easy, but actually sticking to it is really tough. Wait, are you trying to get us to buy the dip so you can harvest the gains? Haha. Contrarian thinking isn't wrong, but I'm afraid if it backfires, you'll become the chives.

That's right, I'm just worried that I might not have the mental resilience to dare to buy when the price really crashes to the floor. The greedy at the bottom have already made a fortune, while those chasing the rise are still crying. Honestly, the hardest part isn't the logic, but truly enduring that period of mental breakdown. I've been using this strategy for a long time; the key is not to be shaken out. The more panic sell-offs there are, the more peacefully I sleep, indicating that chips are being accumulated cheaply.
