BTFD
BTFD stands for 'Buy The F*cking Dip' — an emphatic and colorful version of the BTD (Buy The Dip) mantra that expresses strong conviction that a price decline is a buying opportunity. The phrase originated in crypto and meme stock communities where aggressive dip-buying is celebrated. While BTFD reflects extreme bullish sentiment, blindly applying this approach can lead to significant losses if the dip turns into a sustained downtrend or bear market.
Example
“After Ethereum crashed 20% in a single day, BTFD trended across social media as aggressive traders rushed to buy the discounted price.”
