What is Bitcoin..
August 10, 2019
Cryptocurrency prices fell Thursday after Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the automaker will stop accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment.
But before we dive in to the topic, let's find out what "DIP" is.
A dip is when a cryptocurrency experiences a decline in price
Buy the dip stands for the process of buying an asset after it has declined in value.
When it comes to the cryptocurrency market, “buy the dip” is used to describe the opportunity of investing in a coin or token that has experienced a short or long-term decline in its price.
By doing so, investors hope to profit from a potential future price increase, at which point they hope to “sell the top”.
Most cryptocurrency investors became familiar with the term after the downtrend of the cryptocurrency market in 2018. It was during that year that most investors learned how risky and speculative the crypto market really is.
But buying a coin or token in a downtrend does not necessarily mean that its price is guaranteed to increase.

As of Thursday morning, the prices of top cryptocurrencies such as bitcoins and ethers fell more than 10% over the last 24 hours, according to crypto market data site CoinGecko.
However, it appears both are recovering some of those losses. Ethereum, the system behind ethers, was back up by 2% over the last hour, while Bitcoin rose 0.8%.
Wednesday afternoon, Musk tweeted Tesla would no longer accept Bitcoin as payment over concerns with "the rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels" for mining and transactions.
"Cryptocurrency is a good idea on many levels and we believe it has a promising future, but this cannot come at great cost to the environment," wrote Musk in his statement.
Last month, Bitcoin was coming off a record high topping $64,000, as interest in cryptocurrencies has surged. The hype even fueled a surge in Dogecoin, a form of cryptocurrency initially created to poke fun at digital coins.
The Doge price fell sharply as Elon was performing, hitting $0.49 before buyers steadied the ship above 50 cents. Death of Doge chants didn’t last long as Elon Musk announced the next day that SpaceX will accept Dogecoin payments. Buy orders flowed back in, and the buy/sell order price of Doge hit $0.59 on Kucoin, whose DOGE market has witnessed unprecedented volume in recent weeks.

Cause of the DIP
We believe the root cause of the sell-off had to do with investor positioning rather than fundamental news. Simply put, traders were overleveraged and positioned long, resulting in forced liquidations.
