đ I canât tell if youâre shit stirring or if you think cherry picked hindsight is useful.
His âgold outcomeâ didnât outperform his Bitcoin unless he actually sells the dip.
Just like your house doesnât get smaller when the market dips - itâs just volatility.
What outperformed Bitcoin was a bad entry, not gold itself.
If he bought BTC:
- 1 year earlier
- 1 year later
- Or on literally any DCA schedule
- with any cash buffer
- with any kind of risk management
âŚhis outcome would be dramatically better than gold.
The problem isnât Bitcoin. The problem is
- trading in your house
- To buy near the exact top
- with a short time horizon
- without a plan for volatility
Gold cant save you from a move like that â it just hides it by being slow
And for the fella who bought at 61k â youâre not screwed. Its gonna be fine.
You only lock in the loss if you sell. Every past cycle shows that the worst entries eventually turn into strong positions, as long as you give bitcoin a long enough runway.
Even 2017 ATH buyers (who had worse timing and worse drawdown than you) ended up about 3.5 x up just by holding into the next full cycle.
Your job now isnât timing â itâs patience.
Stay solvent, zoom out, and donât let a bad entry turn into a bad exit.
