buying the dips still make sense however I will wait until the condition getting better and things become clearer first before doing any investment right now.
too much risk investing at uncertain time like this.
When you say 'is this for real' , I'm not sure if you are referring on the pic you attached, or on what the OP have said, but if it's about what the OP have said, I think that's not true. To become rich through investing on them is not easy.
The only difference is that when you invest in non-meme coins, you will earn slowly/small but consistent profits and many people can still enjoy a scenario like this, while for those meme coin investors, the chance for us to earn on them is only slim but if in case we do and get lucky, the returns that we can get can also be massive that can be enough for one to become rich. If it's about the pic that you've attached, I think it was legit, since the source of it is Forbes and you can also go on Forbes and find the news/article there for confirmation.
Meanwhile, Wars and News related to it are not a new thing anymore, though yeah that it can affect the decision of some people. It's not that they are afraid or what but some uses this as an indication in order to gain an advantage on their investments. Speaking of investments, the act of ' buying at lows ' ( and selling at highs ) is always the golden rule when investing, so it always make sense even if in this era where DCA is now gaining a momentum.
