The phrase “buy the dip” gets thrown around a lot in Bitcoin circles. But what does it actually mean in practice? Most people think it means waiting around with dry powder, watching charts, hoping to time a perfect entry. The truth is, that strategy rarely works. Dips don’t send calendar invites.

That’s why I believe in stacking sats relentlessly—through bull markets, bear markets, sideways markets. Just stack. Because when you stack consistently, you're not timing the market—you’re building a position. You’re dollar-cost averaging into the hardest money ever created. That’s the real foundation.

But here's where it gets interesting: when Bitcoin crashes, and I mean those “Bitcoin is dead” moments—the catastrophic, headline-worthy collapses—that’s when you do more than stack.

That’s when you go tactical.

If you’ve already stacked aggressively over time, you're sitting on a solid base of BTC. That gives you the opportunity to take a loan—not to buy coffee or chase altcoins, but to strike when the world panics. I'm talking about borrowing against your Bitcoin at reasonable rates (say 10% APR), at a conservative LTV like 60%, and buying more Bitcoin during full-blown crashes.

And no, this isn’t about overleveraging yourself into oblivion. This isn’t about gambling. It’s about waiting for asymmetric moments—when Bitcoin drops 40–70% in a flash, sentiment is broken, fear is everywhere, and people are selling at a loss.

It’s about stepping in when no one else can think clearly.

Here’s the deeper layer: each time these moments happen, they occur at higher nominal prices. In 2015, a catastrophic dip might’ve meant $200. In 2018, it was $3K. In 2020, it was $4K. In 2022, it was $15K. One day, we’ll see a million-dollar Bitcoin drop to $600K and people will call it “dead” again. You see the pattern.

That’s why trying to keep fiat on the sidelines to “buy dips” can actually cost you more in opportunity than you realize. You might never catch the perfect dip. But if you stack fast and early, and keep your BTC in a state where it can be used as collateral, you can wait patiently for chaos—and strike hard when it comes.

So forget about trying to outsmart the market with short-term fiat games. Stack sats like your future depends on it—and when the world panics, be the one with clarity and conviction.

Because Bitcoin rewards the prepared.
