You may be correct that there are always chances that some kind of substantial and meaningful correction could take place, and in this particular price rise we are likely measuring since about mid-October 2023 when the Blackrock's ETF application was clearly announced.. and so the upwards BTC price action has been pretty much ongoing and relentless ever since.
Personally, I believe that is it not really necessary to know if it is fake or not, because I doubt that we are having a blow off top right now or having a couple more years of down or sideways, but hey guys can believe what they like, and for you, probably you should make sure that you are ongoingly stacking rather than waiting for dips that might not happen, and sure you are likely at a disadvantage if you are coming to bitcoin at any time around your forum registration, and surely there could be scenarios that you are just forced to continue to buy as the BTC price is going up.. and maybe the BTC price will come back down to these levels, and maybe it won't.
Another problem that newbies have is cashflow.. so the cash only comes in so rapidly, and maybe they are in a worse situation if they are in college or some kind of status in which they are not earning much if any income that goes beyond their living expenses (also known as discretionary/disposable income that they would be able to use for investing in something like bitcoin).
I ended my most robust bitcoin purchases in December 2022, made my entire equity allocation in BTC during 2022 (yes, I'm all-in and know the risks), and have only been making small weekly purchases since then. Fractions to accumulate as much as you can.
In fact, I am in the process of building wealth despite not being so young (almost 4 decades of life), after truly getting to know bitcoin I built an investment theory that will take around 8 years to complete (so far it has been 2,5 years) and I have been faithful to what I understood to be best for me. Will it work? I don't know, why there's no way to guarantee anything, but the probability of it working is very high.
These 9 principle individual factors that influence your decision whether to invest into bitcoin and how to invest into bitcoin have financial, skills and psychological components that include:
1) your cashflow,
2) how much bitcoin you have already accumulated,
3) your other investments (including an emergency fund and/or other purposes that cash reserves might be held),
4) your view of bitcoin as compared with other investments,
5) your timeline,
6) your risk tolerance,
7) your time, skills, goals (investment/lifestyle targets, which includes figuring out the extent that you are in BTC accumulation, maintenance or liquidation stage),
8 ) your abilities to strategize, plan, research and learn along the way including tweaking strategies from time to time,
9) your considering your time, your abilities and whether to trade, reallocate from time to time, to use of leverage and/or to use financial instruments... (and for sure the use of financial instruments, leverage and margin trading involve higher level skills and are not even necessary to still become richie in bitcoin's already existing asymmetric bet.)
These are ongoing areas in which anyone should be working upon without necessarily concluding that they need to perfect all of them or even to perfect any one category prior to being ready to start investing into bitcoin.. whether that is investing with their time, their energies and/or their finances.
These factors are very, very important for any investor, I have been dealing with this financial world for much less time than practically everyone who writes here in the topic, I need to make adjustments to the route more frequently, I have not yet experienced a bull run completely.
But what I imagine to be the most viable is to be able to educate myself enough to identify the best times for settlement to finally do the magic of multiplying capital.
I continue to study and follow the things written here, this topic and reading the things written here is a A true lesson for those seeking knowledge.
