Maybe you will see that I'm new in this forum, but that doesn't make me a newbie. Read the topic I wrote called "Backbone analogy for BTC current & future price movements" where I predicted that this dip would happen.
And of course this is only my personal view. Make your own responsible choices.
Good luck!
It's still recommended to buy not yet late but the biggest opportunity was last year when Bitcoin was trading at $6000 to $7000 level, but like what I said it's not yet late as long as you are buying before halving you are in a good profit after the halving, that is if you can hodl your portfolio and sell it at the right time.
We can't argue more on bitcoin as recommended, but it should include some of the promising altcoins. They're not less valuable unless it totally goes down of its price, which eventually became one of those shitcoins. What the op tried to say here was Bitcoin opportunity of buying while we're in the dip, because every opportunity to comes after price declination.
