> Everything is on sale.

Such meaningless phrasing. If something wasn't on sale, nobody could buy it. The crypto meme of dips in the price being 'a sale' is key to hooking the uniformed new fish into the great ponzi scheme.

It's not just crypto buyers with this mindset.. it's been part of stock market investing for a while. Buy low when everyone else is selling

I made no claim that it was a purely crypto mindset, they've flogged this phrase to death, and continue to do so in their echo chamber communities.

It's not just a crypto meme to call price dips a sale. Same language has been used on stocks prior to the existence of crypto.

Exactly, and is a little ironic because when it really does go on sale, people become afraid to buy meanwhile deep pockets accumulate.

"on sale" and "for sale" have different meanings.

Since bitcoin has no RRP, what is the context in which a retail "sale" makes sense?
