We are in a bear market, (granted, it's easing up a bit), but it's a huge dip, since we had the $20,000 ATH hit sometime in December 2017. So here are the Silver linings in the dark clouds..
More FUD resistance. Well consider this just like a vaccination. We all have that Fever that follows vaccines. But the good thing is it shoots up our resistance, our nerve. To handle bad news
Okay, at least with passing time, we are seeing less of useless forks. Why? I truly believe by next bull run, most useless forks will fail to gain use and market shares and would eventually drop off, and original ideas will dominate
No more shitcoin.  Coins like bitcoin gold, diamond, platinum, sapphire, ruby etc etc. If this market continues for a 1 more month, we would be rid of shitcoins.
No more moon-heads. This particular issue can really rankle me up. You won't read 2 posts without a 'when moon' or 'when lambo' post popping up somehow. Especially in Telegram threads
Mass adoption. Technology will advance. I With tech advance we will see adoption rates going up. Technology like Ripple, Nano would get some look-ins
The real HODLers would be shown. And this would show peeps that really believe in projects. Not just 'get-rich-quick' guys

I hope you are right with the forks... I find them really annoying to deal with since you are tax liable for something you may not even want.. and it's not like its free since it cooks in the price and then dumps. I hope you are also right about moon people.  If they'd just buy at the bottom like they should instead of buying near all-time highs, it wouldn't be so stressful for them so they wouldn't constantly need Adderall just looking at charts.  I don't believe in mindless holding since I'm a position trader and not all coins can be in a position to earn at all times... but it will definitely get rid of the weakest hands for sure.   New money can be a boon and a bane.. boon because they will hold bags at insane prices and scream "when Lambo as you take profits from them... a bane because they panic sell in a full blown out 60% retracement market thinking its going to zero making the market bear trend last longer.... this next run is going to be epic though. 50k btc on the table this year? :)

Correct from $20000 to $8000 damn that was a crashed.  ;D


FUD is here to stay, there are people specially newbies not immune though, the minute someone yells SELL, SELL, SELL because bitcoin is going down, without logical thinking, they immediately push the sell button. But for those who are really "hardened" by a lot of FUD in the past, we can all handle it with flying colors.


We really know what their intentions are. So if really won't make any sense to invest on them. Just get the free coins during the fork and dump it immediately..


LOL. moon-heads give us entertainment mate. Gives me a good chuckle here and there specially if the price is really surging up and you will see newbies calling like bitcoin will go on a parabolic rise forever. But they immediately rattled once the price falls down and then bitching around that they have lost this x amount of investment and asking for advise.  ;D

It probably is, for those people that wants to buy into bitcoins. But it was a life changing crash for those that bought at the highs of december. If you can imagine someone buying from $17,000 - $20,000 then suddenly crashing in February to $6,000. That would have been a nightmare for them. I guess it's an opportunity more than an misfortune. I believe today is still a good time to buy bitcoins or probably ETH or XRP.

A brief bear market is good for small investors to participate in crypto and we can buy crypto for cheaper price, but a very long bear market will decrease the trust from investors and people will become hesitate to buy again, I think there should be a balance between bull and bear market to make crypto a healthy investment, the range and the gap also mustn't be too far

Yes indeed we are in a bear market but we have been in this thread for quite some time now but I think a trend reversal is very near. With the forks I think most of them are shitcoins and with the current trend they might die.

No one can stop FUD even with regulations you can see it on all market. Bad news from a company may crash it stock price. Bad news regarding a commodity may crash its price in the world market. Crypto market will bot be immune to that.

I agree with the numerous unnecessary forks coming up now. I see it as a repetition of what we already have and I believe that those who truly worth will stand the test of time. New developers should try something new not following an already made thread. If developers have no outstanding idea, then don't set up an ICO to scam people!  Unfortunately,  it is these developers that encourage investors to invest in shit ICO for the sole interest of making money out of it.

Yes very good points, I kind of feel like almost every weak hand has already sold.  That's why i feel we have bounced off the market bottom.

Looking  at the bear market from your perspective is so refreshing. What irks me the most is the opportunist fork that was making mess of bitcoin and diluting the market. Real world use would not be achieve if we keep projecting bitcoin as something that can easily be manipulated.

Its good if you wanted to enter the picture before but you can't because the price is too steep. But during the bear season, every coins is at a discount so you have to take advantage of that situation to get it while they are all down.

Its also a good test, specially hands that are weak are totally eliminated and those left are strong hands that are not affected by the crisis. And for those it will really be a test and I hope that you all pass it with flying colors so to speak.

Another "good" you can get from this bear market is improving your trading strategy. It is a time to reflect and know what you have done wrong, what made you lose Bitcoins and what to improve for the next bull market.

We are not on the Bearish market anymore. Bearish and Bullish is not the situation of the price but it's the trend of price variation in my opinion. We are currently on the big dip we consider the peak price but do you consider the bubble when BTC price jump from 6000$ up to 20,000$? The price is normal and people are just too much expecting analyzing base on the peak price which is not the real basis of BTC price.

Bear is needed to create/ make open position if market always bull, it will crash and never comes up again, for this one check commodities product before bitcoin. I assume bitcoin is same like commodities and bear trend also needed to recovery asset ( piramida principal money management ) after get big looses. Bear or bull is good for us, just follow them and get out before too late.

with all happen in the crypto, I think it is better to wait and see what will go on and still do analyze on every time because the price will show the way. no matter how long the price will increase, if we still follow the way of bitcoin, in the end, we can get something better and of course, we can make a profit too. and I don't care about the negative news that happens to block bitcoin to increase, because I believe that bitcoin will increase higher more than in December last year.

Yeah that feels good after reading your post. Mostly the positive stuff in terms of ATH reaching. Yes your prediction is true that we are already in dip if we consider the point of reference as 20K USD which was also years ATH. We still need to grab huge market volume until we can reach the prices like that. This will happen but it will be very very slow process and might just take until the year end 2018. But isn't that is good thing as we can still buy more BTC's along the way and hope to see it increases many more folds as part of investment. I dont bother about other coins because somehow the BTC is getting more attention due to its sudden spike last week. So more eyes on it and thus more chances that it will rise faster from here.

If its the group consciousness that determines the price - then it will go up now. And its a serious joke by the way..

There are positives and negatives in the bearish market indeed. I know that we are still experiencing huge losses, but it is just a healthy correction and it is just temporary. I think we all need to know about the common bearish and bullish cycles every year, like the April tax deadline, etc. For me, it is a positive thing in the bearish market when you want to buy more coins or tokens at lower prices. Just my two satoshis.

The bear market is a must...especially when we are all at massive bullish last year. It is still above ico price if we see year on year return. People who bought at peak, just hold yout btc or good alt like eth,ltc,neo..they will make comeback. Crypto is not death. It is still the futures. Look at btc holder...they still believe in this. They invest a lot more then us.. and rich people always know what we dont know.

when the bear market came , many people were panicking . but it is also an opportunity . in the bull market , the neo price exceeded 150 dollars . i didn't have a chance to buy . bear market, its price is 50 dollars . i decisively buy some . this is what the bear market brings us .

Exactly right we need a bear market to buy a good amount of bitcoin in a discount price if you see the chart of bitcoin it hit $20k then down to $17k and continue falling down until the price touch $6k meaning all people that waiting for a right time are now buying bitcoin and holding in ther safe wallet.

I will not argue with your idealistic way of expressing your pints of view. Yes we have seen more drops and even more fud resistance since the start of this year, and what you have said is much accurate than those people saying that this will be the start of bitcoins price hike. it is much better if we only especulate what is happening in real time rather than predicting that next and the future value of Bitcoin.

For cryptocurrency there have many. Another "good" you can get from this bear market is improving your trading strategy. It is a time to reflect and know what you have done wrong, what made you lose Bitcoins and what to improve for the next bull market. It's better to learn.

Bear market is what the holder like me has waited,though its too bad to hear someones being happy while many are sad,but this is how the market goes someone need to loss for someones to gain..and if you think its unfair,then try to change route,try to hold than to panic then you'll find what i wanted to mean here

A sign of a good and working market is when it has bearish and bullish patterns. It is always a balance of both. And if many of you have noticed, before the bullish pattern; bearish market has to take place that's why there are corrections too to correct the prices of the coins and move on from there. So in a way, bear is good for the market and for trading as well.

I agree as I believe that it doesn't make any sense to artificially blowing the price and attract the investors (like we have experienced recently). I am happy that correction took place at the beginning of the year and it will help Bitcoin to grow in the long run. There is a huge number of people who have joined crypto in last few months and it will strengthen the user base resulting in a sustainable growth for the future.

I firmly agree with the sentiment you discuss OP, if this is happening right now I couldn't be happier. Listen I am not going to write this post and say I don't want to make money because I do for sure. But that isn't the first thing on my mind when finding a project and if it is I say good riddance to those individuals.

Nobody will say 100% that we have passed the bottom and the market is on the rise. I think that the trend is changing very closely. A red light can not burn for so long.

Reported to a mod. You copied my post.

Bear market maybe good for us because that's the time for most to enter in the market. Others are not good for this but since bearish market happens their is bullish market also. Yes you were right corrections always presents at times that price were down and it will moving up.

I agree, bear markets are also needed when it comes to investment like cryptocurrencies,  bear markets are therr in order to help us see what is the real value of our investments and what is the real number of investors that are really serious in holding such investments, it is also part of the correction process, since we had seen the ATH last year of most coins, and on of the reason is FOMO, we could never really tell up to what extent it will be bullish, and just what had happened it had breached 20k usd, the market fell down to its lowest months after. Another thing I see with a bearish market is it helps keep our investments alive, it means our investments are still there but with a lower price and will still have the power to gain more, in other words it only show that the cryptomarket is not a bubble like they are trying to show in the media, because if we do not have bear markets, it only means the value will become worthless and just like in the traditional stock market, investors are waiting for the bear market in order to have a good entry, to have more capital gains.

"Bear" is part of the trading market ecosystem even prior for crypto existence. There are lots of advantages that we can grab on a bearish season and that is an obvious thing so for those who aren't used to this kind of trend, better be educated on what "bearish" market can bring.

Yes others might be on loss, whether small or large, but during that trend, traders will be test their ability on how they can ride it and turned this "negative" scene into something that they can have a benefits.

Newcomers must also understand that there are no such thing as continous uptrend as even how good the growth is, always expect that a dip or crash may happened on the way.

yes,bear is very good for every one,the market will grow up to hight level,now the market is surround this point and I believe the market will take over this point and it will strong grow up in the summer,now we need buy more eth and btc

I think both of Bear and Bull is good, they are depending how to threat. That's all. Bearish trend and also Bullish can be said in certain interval time, now we can say the price in bullish since 3 years. But if we see the trend from 6 months ago, now is considered as Bearish trend. To threat when and how both Bullish and Bearish are good should be very simple. If Bullish on certain time, it is the chance to sell and vise versa if Bearish on certain time, it is the chance to buy.

Most people usually controlled by their expectation, this is not true. We should control our expectation, then if we see a chance to buy then expected some value so if that value has been reached then just sell.

A bear market for new users but not for the oldies.
It already went up and everything is in bull. Ethereum or bitcoin and even other cryptos. Those who are in a hurry are not really welcomed or they are forced to get out because of loss, thanks to their way of thinking thay is why they panic in an instant.

There isn’t much that happened this year, I believe 2017 was the most challenging year for Bitcoin. Just check it out– there were FUDs, there were lots of people and medias speaking against it trying to take  it down, and there were also lots of forks.

So last year was very challenging, but still after all that the price still got back to a higher rate. Everything I have seen this year is less than all that happened last year, so best thing is to keep calm. Even the price rate of $7000/$8000 is really good.

Yes the price is good when compared to last year price at the same month so this year also the price bump will happen so people need to wait for that until keep holding all your bitcoins soon the price will go to moon.For Immediate action create a thread on meta with the proofs. :D

He will get permaban sooner or later.

It sure is good for me as there are much more tradr opportunities in this bear market than the unsure bull market from December.

No one can really ascertain those forks, but last year was really the year of forks for bitcoin as a lot of scam coins were generated from those forks. However, people are no longer paying attention to forks which is the reason why we no longer hear anything about them again but it is not like there has not been some stupid forks underground going on, with some shitty exchanges listing them.

There is always some level of sanity during bear trend as most of the people you see making transactions in the market and those present in the market are the real believers of the usage of bitcoin, not just those who want to get rich quick overnight.

I really do not think that the correction is mainly because of FUD new, it is used as an excuse, the market cannot grow up all the time, we need to have a balance in the price growth and that is seen in the form of correction and the forks are just useless and let us see which ones will sustain in a few years time.

Indeed, this last drop that we had in prices really shows who are the people that are ture to the cause of the cryptocurrency, ever since bitcoin started going up and getting popular more and more people have invested in it, and some of them don't have any idea about how it works and what it is truly all about they just came for the money, so as soon as they see it drop they started complaining about it, and saying how it is dead, only the few who truly believe in it stayed.

It is getting hard to buy now with the expensive price. Maybe some of the investors are now scared that it might fall again after they bought. Happened before 20k dollars and it could always happen again.

But for new investors it may be a good chance to be a part of it and somehow manage to make a little profit with a bull market.

And for those people who stayed will surely be benefited when bitcoins price tends to rise up once again.I agree that there are lots of investors in the past where they do only get in just for the sake on making money and now the price had dropped which do cause on shaking off weak hands and short terms money earners without believing any tech and potential will surely panic sell no matter what.

agree with your opinion not only buy and sell at the time the price rises, but more to investment considering the crypto that just globally in 2017 makes people think this is a place to seek wealth, but this is technological progress, not just looking for profit only

The price surge last year makes people to be optimistic especially the newbies in cryptos, they think the value wont go down anytime and will continue to soar hence some invested their money which they cant afford to lose. Early this year is a bad scenario for those who bought btc in peak price, they cut their losses to avoid worse situation. We know its not a wise decision because if you are long position older the situation is understandable. Bear market is not that bad if you're a hodler for long term, its an opportunity if you believe there is more to look forward in crypto world.

Good thoughts, that's true I think, dip disqualified fast players and opened space to holders.

market bull run will come ,, and at the time it happens this will be a very fast market .. because at the time bitrcoin prices grow .. altcoin will follow the price increase ,, and when the price fluctuations are very visible ,, competition between coins will be something very profitable ,, and it is indeed we are all waiting

In some point yes, to get rid of those shit coins and those who just want to be rich quickly. Those who just buy cryptos because they think that it will rise up immediately because of bear month would come to realize that it needs patience,strategy and knowledge when it comes to hodling cryptos and that it is not just a blink of you eyes you will get rich instead hard for since we are in a risky and volatile cryto world.

Yeah, pretty good ones. I have never had any problem with a bear market anyway. The idea has always been to remove weak hands from the market and it is usually a short term thing compared to how we have had bear markets in the past and how huge the market still has grown till date anyway. Even just last year till date with the current bear market is still looking good and if we have gotten to this stage and the weak hands have been fully shed off, then we are really in a very strong market and that is all that matters.

I really think that this bear market has some how has an advantage because most weak hands or those who really are into crypto for just profit would have most likely incurred a lot of lost and might become skeptical and might even force themselves to be more experienced on crypto. This is also good for most investors to get more moon bags at cheaper price. Somehow the bear market taught a lot of people how to be patient and how to be wise during this kind of situation.

Yeah this bear market trend seems to be good news for every hodler after so many months of loss or dump market.This is the right time to invest in btc,ETH,LTC or any othet good alt and sail on the boat of profits in long run.But past few months prove worse for those who buy at peak level of $19000 and then suddenly prices crashed to $7000 and they suffer huge losses and some sold out of panic at dips and correction period.But wise and earlier traders know that it was a normal situation in market and hodling will give profits.The prices of bitcoin will surge soon in coming months so just wait and hodl.

Things happen so rapidly and spontaneously in the world of the crypto market that you never know which thing will work in your favor and which thing will go against you. You just need to handle the situation accordingly and that you should now make any such choice which can then lead you to the loss of money. You need to stay active all the time and that you need to keep on observing the things.

I think that those people who do not have the dare to bear lose then they should do some regular business instead of holding or trading in bitcoin, because it is a coin business and one should prepare himself for any conditions. Happy with profits and dad with lose is not fare. Be patient when the price drops because it will happen again and again. So you should have the courage to bear the loss.

I agree the bears are really good for us, but most of the people now are weak hands so they always want bulls, there is not many people defending bears.

To an extent, bear market is good for emotions of the traders. During bear run, it gives everyone the opportunity to better see the volatile crypto market for what it really is. This period helps filter out the weak from the strong as the strong hodlers always win. The bear market transfer wealth from  the weak to the strong.

This is the main thing in cryptocurrency world. Before entering in this world one should have the courage to bear the fall in the price. It is fact that the price will not increase all the time. Some times as we see in the last couple of weeks the price dropped and most people lost their investment. Gaining and losing is a part of business and this is very crucial business.

Obviously, we should be seeing some trend reversal very soon and being in a bear market is not actually the problem, the people who panic in the short term while seeing their investments going down are the ones who always make the worst decisions in the market and end up blaming the cryptocurrency market for their predicament.

Bear is always good for us in the long term as the market gets stronger over time, and FUD should always be affected as part of any market and as long as stocks have been, FUD still affects it, so if anyone thinks that we are going to see the end of FUD one day, they are expecting too much.

Well fuds contribute a lot though to a correction and to how long the market will stay under a correction stage. It's a given with the market's volatility it will go up and down and whether we like it or not, bears balances and make the marker healthy

There is one thing I love most in your article which is the part where you said it shoots up our resistance to handle bad news.
If we have always noticed that the more we have a bear phase most times, the stronger the market gets.

This is because at that stage, weaker hands are shed off the market, the little bit of weak ones that got to stay strong based on advise, after seeing the recovery and the outcome of the market gets stronger to even hint the newer investors what to do and what not to do during trends like this and this is the reason why we do not see old community members shaken at times like this.

Yes, and also the bear market shows us an opportunity to buy the coins we'd love to cheaply! The market will rise, I'm sure, but it's the time for choosing the "survivers" anf buying them for long-term!

For Bitcoin long term investment is much better. In the past, the price was rising by 500 USD for 1 day, but this may not be happen today and for the days ahead.
But, you should try a long term investment, so you should try this with a any potential altcoin, not with Bitcoin. If you want to earn money, this might help.

I strongly believed that it was wrong but who knows what will going to happen in the future, right? All you have to do is to let their hopes up by saying something nice so they won't get dissatisfied in the process. The market is always unpredictable to know what will be going so i might have to do something in order to know about something in the future.

No one can really predict the future or the things that might really happen ahead thats why when we do see opportunities specially on bear market we should take advantage into that matter where we can really accumulate cheaper coins as much as we can. Bearish trends do really have significant benefits and its always been part of the cycle of a healthy market.If we dont see bearish scenario then how we would buyback cheaper coins?

The bear is also very good for us when the market is in bull cycle. The bear bile period will give us the opportunity to collect more cheap coins and will help us to collect more profits. I believe that if you trade or keep the bear is beneficial if the market is bullish. Market capitalization is pushed up and will allow altcoin to raise prices.

Bears don’t need anyone to defend them. These are the ones who control the performance of whole digital market and it is only due to these guys that bitcoin and altcoin have been able to survive till the present day and will make progress in the future. Whatsoever but there is no doubt that they understand technology a way better than others and are great minds doing great business?

Bear market or low price levels are good only for the people who look to buy more and not for the people who have already invested. So, where you are standing will be deciding that bears ate good or not. Bear may be good for OP and not for heavy investors like me !

Trading is indeed a great business which they can really able to make money. Bears would be suddenly Bulls when the trend tends to reverse which means there would be always connection and main purpose.If there would be no sellers then how the market would circulate? We cant able to say that a healthy market would only shows upward trend which is impossible and can really be considered as manipulated.

Bear can be good if we just want to start a new buy order. It will be hard time for holders. Both bear and bull are indeed necessary to make the trade more alive.

I think that bears are good for us, you can see that for a coin to grow and grow in the long run, it must go through a price increase, so the bear will help the price. Coin adjusts and helps us to trade and make more profit. Walls are constantly changing and difficult to guess so you must have a specific loss plan to minimize risk.

I think bear markets are a good way to make people realize that they arent invincible and that they can lose what they gained just as quickly or even quicker than they gained it.  It definitely helped me come to this realization and now i'll be aiming for more realistic gains next time a bull run occurs. 

A very good thesis. That's just absolutely like this, I'm very happy that easy-guys were filtered by the bear market.

Simply bear may good for all of us to be more trading platform be lively. When in bearish trends a good chances for those who will set an order to buy. Yes exactly because this affect the hodlers and at the same time who expect a return of profit.

Good luck trying to get rid of those people. They exist and because some of them have had success the Chads of the world will make sure other Chads join. That will slow down the progression of the technology but we will progress nonetheless.

Trading market is just a cycle of ups and down or bullish and bearish and it is necessary for the market to be bearish to eliminate bubbles of price same here in crypto with so many fork coming out you are now confused if where is really working fir improvement or just a copycat scam fork thay will just victimized investor. besrish market is an opportunity to add more if you have some extra funds

Truth. It will still happen no matter what. FuD and everything that they do just to bring down the crypto technology will just be trashed at some way.
If it  is to gain profit then they can do it all the time. In the end, there will still be a change in this world. That will not be stopped from happening.

Let us just say the bear market will just give opportunity to the new buyers for cheaper goods.

Everybody is getting their suit on. The world of Cryptocurrency may be a a green pasture to those who really understand it and getting a hang of it. But it can be a lion's den to those who failed to educate themselves. They will be eaten alive by wrong decisions they will make.
I can see that this year, many investors will now be more careful which project to invest on. Unique projects will truly rise above the rest. Many people will benefit form the bear market and see this event as a good opportunity to invest more.
I really hope that useless coins will go down the drain, they are just buffing up the system and cluding those who really want to invest.

If we can choose the right coin to buy then I think bearish trend is always good for us.
That time the price is at it's lowest so once the market can recover we can easily sell it with a good profit if we can do the right timing.

Bear market is always the catalyst for Bull market, without Bear market there can not be Bull market. This two are interrelated. Bear market is not fun though but the experience trader knows that bear market is great time to accumulate.

In the short term, it may be a life changing crash, considering what some of them may be thinking or going through now, but it would be a very huge one for those who probably got greedy and were busy going all in during the FOMO despite all that was said for people to only invest what they can afford to lose, considering how short term can be after a FOMO, but no one would listen.

Some who just bought little would be less worried and would even use this dip to buy more which is what a lot of people do not always get. Making use of bear market is good but we cannot expect that to happen always because then we can enjoy the bull market ?

You have a point when it comes to the bearish market. While some of us think that bearish market is bad, others think of it as a good opportunity to buy during the dip. If only I had enough assets to trade for better coins or tokens to buy in the bear market, I could have earned a lot right now as the bullish season has started.

It is getting hard to buy now with the expensive price. Maybe some of the investors are now scared that it might fall again after they bought. Happened before 20k dollars and it could always happen again.

This is a test of real crypto fanatics. Hodl or to Trade are the only 2 that should matter with the true enthusiast or evangelist as they say. In this times, we need to be as solid in terms of making sure we bag in the bargain and ride with the bull with our own biases. Now that the trend is reversing we must rejoice as cryptoverse is making it's toughness tested.

It has pros and cons to the people who are holding, trading, buying and selling most especially for those newbies who will gonna enter the crypto market, bull market pros are obviously the big return of investments and lots of opportunities, cons would the price of cryptocurrencies are going to be expensive and when you entered on a wrong timing you would lose tons of percentage to your capital, while bear has the opportunity to buy cheap coins.

Absolutely right! When the market is down (the bearish trend), it means that you are given the coolest opportunity to buy more coins that you like for cheap.

Good point of view. I really think the the recent bear market had shook off some weak hands and taught a big lesson for people who invest in crypto just for quick profit. It is also a good opportunity to buy some altcoin and even bitcoin since the market dipped.

yes it is now and yesterday a lot of Shitcoin made by the developer and in the waste just like that, there is no function of any of the coins are worth his trash from our household.

hopefully in the future developers create Bitcoin do not get that way again and make Bitcoin be green again.

The bear market is always good for us but it is the weak hands who make it look like worse. With bear market comes the low rates or discounted rates of the crypto currencies. You can always add up those coins which you thought would have been great investment but you missed the chance to buy them. With the crypto currencies going down the up surge chances rises a lot as more and more people always enter the market in such situation. So its not worrying thing at all and I always keep spreading positive words whenever there is drop in the value. Good hypotheses and everyone should follow this for the better profits.

Agreeing that Bear market has some benefits as well. One of them are low prices, good for new investors to jump in.
With the same contribution they can get more coins. Bear market is good as an experience as well to learn how to control our emotions as many people are panicking and buying high and selling low and it is an opportunity as well for experienced traders.
My takeaway is that during Bear market the  best You could do is stick to Your investment plan and do not panic.

There would always a bear, i dont know why people not calling theirselves as bears too? when we do sell a particular coins which means traders or investors can be called out either way depending on our actions been made but sadly big players would always have the edge compared to smaller ones which we can really make a decisions basing on market movement.If you go with the flow then you will able to get the opportunity to buy cheap coins and selling it later on when theres already a reversal.

I think it is a Yes , that the bear may be good for us because the increase of demands  are lead or indicates a rise of price too, simple as that the statement or concept that stated ,
so dont over think about something cant help you. This is normal scenario.

Nice and clear points here. I have to agree, except I can add that such a long dip tests the bottom line and it seems to be much higher then haters could think

There is no doubt that bear market is good near people who are new and did not invest before and also for old investors, people can buy Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies in a bear market easily.

The advantages of investment in a bear market are many as you will get coins on low price which is the first benefit, secondly you will get more number of coins or large quantity coins, thirdly you will get maximum profit if invest with huge amount and many more advantages are there.

All those who buy when the market is going down continuously are the really smart players of the market. We all should keep in mind that we can make money only if we are investing at low rates, selling off at high rates and again buying back at cheap prices. If you are not going to follow this three stepped cycle, you are not going to make money here at all. Definitely you will be losing then which is going to make you hate it.

the decrease of the price is always good for us because we can buy many coins at a cheap price and then we can wait for the price to increase back. but sometimes, if the price decreases for a little, many people getting panic for this and they do sell instant their coins because they think that the price will go down deeper. we need to be careful with this because this will push the price to go lower but we have time to buy another amount in the lower price.

When the market is bleeding, you get the best opportunity to buy the cryptocurrency for cheap. When the bull run time comes, you will make the profit.

Inexperienced and new traders will do like this, experienced people will never get panic when the market goes red. you want to use the advantage of the bear market then you must sell your coins when the market turns green, hold your profit in stable coin then only bear market will help you to make a profit.

There should be a limit also to HODL, not just HODL I think. The Risk Management is important to manage the risk such as cut loss or averaging if in trading. Perhaps the most suitable term to HODL a crash market from ICO is averaging, to buy again in the lowest value to be sold in middle of ICO price for quick compensation or let the transaction open until reach the highest price to double your profit.

If you got to analyzed the market and you got to sell before the dip,then the Bear is perfectly good on that.all of those who hate bearish market are those bought coin ATH and didn't get tl sell and even in cutting loss so what happen bitterness is what they felt upon big losses.

But in general bear wasnt good for investors instead what is better to invest when the season is like now,pumling and dumping prices

I think  Yes, the bear may be good for us because I can’t see any threats or circumstances that it will not favorable to us, so there’s no reason for doubting or over thinking hat so ever.

It's only during bear time that we can e able to buy some our favorite coins in a lower prices. Many of these coins have potential to grow in long term but their prices are presently hindered by bitcoin downtrend which is now below $6000. Bearish market is also hodl time for those who want to recover their investments.

yes you are right, bears are very good for us all, with moments like that you can get a lot of profits ayng very much you just need to understand how coin performance to be able to get a lot of profit.

Yes, I believe that an investor, bear or whale angle is good for us and helps increase the profitability of the community. On the other hand, this also has certain risks. This may be the best example. That is not desirable but the connection is broken.

We are like in worst bull run currently and I dont see any up surges real soon. The bear market is always no matter what because they give us chances to enter into the crypto currencies. Buy more and more coins that we always wanted to buy and hence it is good occasional way but again and again it should not be followed. I mean too long and big bear market can be unhealthy for the economic system. Low values also disappoint many investors around the globe as they would have already invested when the prices were high. So its all about the what situation we are in and how it works.

It is about the double profit thing. Bitcoin is amazing in this regard. Any other source of income, whenever prices gets down, you are just sad because it would become a bad impression and you can’t just do anything. But here, scenario is totally different. You can have a better step to take. In bear scene, you are good to go for buying bitcoin. They are low in bear so don’t wait your time.

all created in it will not be in vain, depending on us take their instincts well and have the right feeling for profit.

if you understand when the bearish will come then ready to buy coin at the bottom price.
if you know when it will be bullish then you are ready to sell at the top price.
unfortunately we will not know what market prices. aha LOL

It is about the twofold benefit thing. Bitcoin is astounding in such manner. Some other wellspring of wage, at whatever point costs gets down, you are simply pitiful on the grounds that it would turn into a terrible impression and you can't simply do anything. Be that as it may, here, situation is very surprising. You can have a superior advance to take. In bear scene, you are ready for purchasing bitcoin. They are low in bear so don't hold up your opportunity.

I believe the bears market is a good one, it makes us more difficult to trade, more successful, if the transaction fails, the damage will be huge. You can see that the market is still in a bear market in the long run and with a market without it it is hard to know where the price will fall.

So I'm looking forward to the bull market so that we can trade successfully and easily and earn a lot of profit.

The bear market is good in long-term projects why because it tests the patience for all the investors with no price growth and long-term results

The patience of "investors" is being tested all the time. If the price doesn't move much for a week, people get annoyed and start complaining about how boring the market is. It has been like that for years.

Some idiots even dare to blame Bitcoin for that due to the firmly correlated price action. It's not Bitcoin's problem that altcoins don't move without Bitcoin guiding them. If altcoins can't move on their own they are shit.

Look at the actually genuine projects offering a product solving a problem, they are extremely undervalued because of how there is no hype around them. Fraudulent projects are worth a lot where genuine projects aint worth shit.

Welcome in crypto land.

Most of the things that you have said is senseless. Yes, there are not so much forked coins but there are still a lot of shitcoins getting listed into the market. There are still idiots in telegram who says when moon and lambo. Accept that they are part of this system, like it or not.

Definitely. People don't understand that ~75% of the value altcoins currently have is donated to them by Bitcoin due to their tie.

People also don't understand that without Bitcoin's tie there is no way to value an altoin or token. Tokens are priced in Ether, which is based on Ether's value against Bitcoin. It's impossible to value an altcoin or token without people comparing its relative value to Bitcoin in order to determine whether or not it's expensive or not expensive. All the spoiled altcoin brats should show a little more respect to big daddy Bitcoin.

A bear market is good for new crypto investors, the peoples who are investing right now have less loss risk
then who bought at 20000$ btc price. But due to this bear market a lot of traders are gone from market so we cannot say that bear market is good.

Exactly that's why most of ICOs use the USD value to show the value of their tokens and shy away from BTC and ETH values on their websites. While BTC and ETH move up, so does their USD value while their BTC or ETH value may have declined. It's a shady behaviour but almost all of them get away while doing this.

Basically whenever bitcoin is under rated, there are equal chances for everyone to make money. Contrary to other sources of income that when they are under Godzilla, they just drop everyone down just to make it stable. People just get huge losses from it. But bitcoin makes you profitable person even it is barring under heavy storms. So yeah trust in it for your own good.

True: I can say that I managed to buy the coins that I wanted when the market was down. It was very cool as I knew (and know still) that in future they are all supposed to gain a lot. Wish to get a profit.

I am sure that if you can manage your coins after you buy, it will give you a big profit in the future. this down of the price will not stay for a long time and I am sure that it will back to increase again. and in that time, you can sell your coins at the high price and even there will be an increase in the price so you can make a lot of profit.

A concise bear showcase is useful for little financial specialists to partake in crypto and we can purchase crypto for less expensive cost, however a long bear market will diminish the trust from speculators and individuals will move toward becoming waver to purchase once more, I think there ought to be a harmony amongst bull and bear market to make crypto a sound venture, the range and the hole likewise mustn't be too far.

When the market grew to a tremendous height as at last year,everyone was excited and many newbies came into the space. The market is full of ups and downs. High and lows. What this means is that, when everyone is too anxious to buy, its time to pull out and now that the market is low, its time to buy.

I do not think that bear market is good for us because the number of people selling will only make it worse and I'm afraid that this scale offsets any new investors into the market.

I would have a look at this situation from another point of view. As we all know market is bearish now but it is impossible that market will be bearish forever. Well, it means that bearish market will be over sometime so we should observe the market to catch this situation of changing direction from the downtrend to the uptrend. Bearish market gives us excellent possibilities to buy cons on lows before a new uptrend happens.

What make you think the bear may be good for us? In what ways do you think this is a good omen for the crypto ecosystem? Where do day traders, ICOs , Startups and others come into your equation?

Perhaps experience wise, bears will give us a expensive and hard lessons. Specially with the way bitcoin was in 2017 and everyone thought that the rise will go on parabolic or at at least the price will not go below 5 digits (I'm one of them). So for us, its a big wake up call and it has tested a lot of traders, old and new on how to survived in this bearish market. So I hope everyone here has make the necessary adjustments and not cry because of what the market has turn out to be this 2018.

Personally I expect that Bitcoin price will bounce from 6800$ and growth up to 9000$ during this month. But then it will crash again. We just should use this opportunity.

Absolutely a good chance for traders to buy more coins cause it surely others will follow when btc price goes down.  Not exactly we want this to happen(dumping) but since we don't have any control on market, we totally experience this trend and we shall do things that could help to rise again.

I think there is no something new.I really expect this bear trend to happen again since we are dealing with a very volatile investment.Let's grab this chance again to buy more cheap and potential coins because for sure months from now,they will also give us good returns after they had gained new peaks again.

A endure marketplace is ideal for brand spanking new crypto buyers, the peoples who are making an investment proper now have less loss riskthen who sold at 20000$ btc fee. however because of this undergo market a lot of investors are gone from marketplace so we cannot say that endure market is good.

Of course we should use opportunities which appear during bear market. We have a chance to buy cheap coins. But we also have to remember that trying to catch falling knifes are very dangerous. That's why I prefer to enter in the market according to technical analysis and when the market a little bit stabilized.

Yeah i think this is the time we should look at the market to take this advantage. With the dominance BTC is over than 47% we should enter the market with technical analysis and if it  still down we can took with averaging down..so when it bounce we can get more

That's true, we need something to happen before being able to throw prices like this around. It's gone down a bit from that jump up to 8500 but we cannot know for sure when it will go back up there again. I'd say that the 6800 level is also a good place to bounce, but Bitcoin doesn't listen to us when we say these things.

Like the OP said, this drop isn't necessarily a bad thing because it weeds out those who aren't into Bitcoin for the actual value itself. The ones who are short term speculators or just coming to catch some waves won't find those waves anymore and will move on to the next shore.

This crypto market is very much unexpected and that you can’t be sure that this will happen next as volatility is something which can make anything happen and that too at any moment. It is better to stay positive while keeping your nerves under your control and not to make any decision in panic situation and to wait for the right time before making any kind of move.

buying and selling market is just a cycle of u.s.a.and down or bullish and bearish and it's miles necessary for the market to be bearish to cast off bubbles of price same right here in crypto with so many fork popping out you're now careworn if wherein is sincerely operating fir development or only a copycat rip-off fork thay will simply victimized investor. besrish marketplace is an opportunity to feature extra when you have a few more price range

A short bear advertise is useful for little financial specialists to take an interest in crypto and we can purchase crypto for less expensive cost, yet a long bear market will diminish the trust from speculators and individuals will progress toward becoming waver to purchase once more, I think there ought to be a harmony amongst bull and bear market to make crypto a solid venture, the range and the hole likewise mustn't be too far.

here we go again. after the price reaches $7310 in yesterday, right now, the price is down again and now reach $6930 and I wonder if this will keep continuing to down because I see that the price still going to down. besides that, the percentage in the market keeps changing and now, it still on the way to get down. and for some people, this will be a great time to buy more bitcoin because the price is lower than yesterday so they can expect to sell in tomorrow if the price is up again.

Everything that is now in groom and top position, will definitely have to come down. Every top has hath, we all know this statement. Don’t just use your little mind over things that aren’t that much important. If you know bitcoin, it means you definitely have learning about its nature. They never stay low, not forever. Things are to come in good mood so soon.

this bear does not only apply to bitcoin but actually all of the cryptos are affected  and majority of us ( including me ) are already aware that this bear is totally normal and wont last forever . so worrying too much wont help you or  the cryptos to get out of this bear state .

yes . the bear is good for us because we can now have the oppurtunity to buy crypto coins at a lower rates but i dont also think that anyone is using this oppurtunity to buy more because if they are , then why the value of cryptos are still struggling to go up ?

The bearish trend lets a newbie enter the market even if the guy has less than 200 dollars. When the altcoins are cheap, it is always profitable to buy them. Meanwhile, the traders that are in this business for a long time hate this period.

As I see it, the guy simply wanted to tell us that the bearish trend is the best period to enter the market and buy altcoins for those ones who are in crypto already. Now, you can start even when you have less than $100.

Bearish market make us sober and develop us to be more discipline in our trade. When market is bullish, everyone is a pro. When the market is bearish, it seperate men from the boys

Yes, I still hope one day that the bear will enter the market and we will see the market rebound, now the cows are running so the market is constantly falling.

Bear is a natural market cycle. It's good for those who are interested in investing because they have some great bargains at the moment.

Well obviously dude you don't know what you're talking about. Cows? Lol. Most of this year has been about bears so what are you talking about bears entering? They've dominated 2018 so far.

I like your thought as many forks are just copy cat of original and it seems there is no real intentions to fix some flaws that they saw in bitcoin blockchain and all this developer want is to get quick investment from newbie investor and they would vanish anytime. so far bear market is good for those who want t accumulate more coins as prices are very low. but for those who want to liquidate some cash this would not be a good time for them

I go along with your words! I always say it doesn't matter if the market is growing or falling cause a person with half a brain in his head will manage to get profit anyway. The falling market, especially the cryptocurrency market, is also full of wonderful opportunities!

I think, like many people on here, that this bear market can benefit some to a certain extend especially those who want to either enter the crypto market space or simply increase their portfolio, but hopefully this trend doesn't continue for much longer.

I think this is good for me as a newbie since I can at least buy bitcoin at a cheaper price. Even though it's only a fraction of it but it is a good start to begin an investment little by little to learn how cryptocurrency works.

Indeed true. This should be taken as an opportunity to invest and earn huge profit once the market value starts to rise eventually. But the problem is that, pumps which have been long waited has no assurance of happening any month on this year which a bit scares many people. So to make sure nothing would be a loss, hold into your tokens and see it for ourselve what following months would bring to the cryptomarket.

I do not think like you, the bear will make us lose and the transaction becomes much harder, you can see that the market is constantly falling and bitcoin prices are constantly decreasing in recent years and has hit $ 6000 mark. The price of altcoin is also drastically reduced and more than bitcoin, with a market capitalization of only $ 200 billion so I think the resilience is very low.

Bear market is the right time to buy and hold our token and cryptocurrency. If we are eager to buy more and more crypto during bear season, we can have lots of profit when bull run market goes on. But buyers during a crash are those who are brave and risk taker because no one will pursue to buy during the decline of market specially that there is no assurance at all.

I don’t think so, because controlling or manipulating the prices and anything in cryptocurrency for their own sake is a bad thing which leads to a unfair business for the investors,
it should be better without them in this journey.

Again, they are really fraudulent activity but we can't stop them for doing it because there's no regulation. We have those whales, but they can really move the market anytime and influence others to sell and panic. Yes I agree that it would be better without them but we don't have any control whatsover, because its a free market.

We all know that taking advantage from the other for our own gain is really a bad thing, but this is reality in crypto space. Infact, this whole manipulation in the market was being considered as a normal thing to happen forgetting it is fraud. That's because not everyone has lost, there are those who knows how to ride and gained good returns.
It would be better without them, but first we need to went through general reguations in order to protect us from this kind of activities and anything like that.

Make no mistake — The recent downturn is bad news for most of our cryptocurrency portfolios. Unless you are an expert trader, you probably are not comfortable with shorting markets. With that being said, it is truly believed that a significant correction in prices is positive for the cryptocurrency ecosystem in the long run. After months of what seems like prices in freefall, it is easy to understand why spirits are broken and holders are skeptical; however, the common refrain that “corrections are actually good” is not merely opium. Let’s try further to take an in-depth look at significant flaws in the crypto market, how they originated, and ultimately how a bear market couldnhelo eradicate them.

Just like speculation is not inherently pure evil, neither is a team’s focus on their coin’s price. However, you usually will not read about the necessity of having an expensive coin to function in whitepapers. When a project generates more users, the natural effect should be an increase in price. This is where the bull market went awry. Projects ignored the long term goal of growing their user base, and instead they took shortcuts in the form of marketing fluff and hype. In bear markets, the same type of hype-driven news has almost no effect on price.

This attribute is exactly what makes bear markets healthy.

I think the bear market is not good at all, you can see that bitcoin and altcoin prices have been dropping dramatically over the past 7 months and there is no sign of recovery, if recovery is restored. Very light and can be reduced at any time. Therefore, trading at this time is very risky and can be very damaging if you invest long term.

Yes.I think everybody here are already aware that the market is not really doing good these past few months.But there is nothing we can do but to keep on holding our coins until we see good price increase in the market.For now,let's try to be more patient and calm because that's what most of us here are already doing.

We never get rid of fuds lead to panic sell esp to newbies, and yes bear season may be good for us only when you buy huge amount during this season this is the best time to buy from dumpers.. but its kinda frustrating when you loss almost 50% of your investment with this bloody market its either you cut it or hodl it..

Yeah that's what I sometimes do while waiting for the price to recover. it's really sad to see the bear trend hasn't ended but that
doesn't mean you can't make a profit. You can take advantage of price increases that sometimes occur to reduce your losses

for us at this time do not invest and do not trade in the trade market, because the market price of bitcoin is having problems regarding the price of coins, we have to wait for the stable price of coins.

You can only do that if you really have a good understanding about this business, the market keeps on fluctuating and most of the time shorting is really risky moves when you are just playing with the market, only experienced traders can benefits and those who knows how to hold and wait, good analysis and big nerve facing the risk of this market.

It depends on how much resilience you have and how patient you are. If you have a total trust on your coins, Which I rarely see in this market, you will survive.

The beginners might feel happy when the bearish trend comes. For them it means the following: now they can pay less money for the same amount of tokens and Bitcoins.

The bear market is good but not for everyone. You can make quick profit in a bear market if coins are recovering. Will continue to do this till the whales stop manipulating the market.

If the intention of those bears are goods then it will be beneficial to us but I doubt if that will happen because there are lots of selfish people exist in this world and don’t have any care for others.

I see that the bear market is an opportunity. So it is really good for us. Bear market is an opportunity of buying and only the strong hands can earn. If we are going to buy on dip we need to be sure that we can hold it until the time that come that the huge pump occur.

I believe the bear market is not good at all, you can see that bitcoin prices are constantly fluctuating and falling sharply over the past few months, the market is in a bear market in the long term and the bitcoat price will drop. anytime . Therefore, the transaction becomes very difficult and you will be very difficult to be able to trade successfully, the risk is very high.

For traders and holders who bought at a higher price value, its a big loss but if you are entering the market, its a good opportunity especially now. Prices are low, and if you bough  a coin on ts dip, there a big chance that you gain more profit once it recovers.

Its just a correction period which will take some time to blow over.

Look brother although the prices aren’t good enough right now and most of you people are now getting out-interested in bitcoin. But for sure, we all know bitcoin is going to jump to highest of its price in coming months or so. Probably at the end of this year, like the last one, we would be seeing amazing price jumps from bitcoin. Hence, don’t lose your heart now and keep on holding and trading.

In my opinion, cryptocurrency there are many other good things that we can get from this market is improving our trading strategy. This is the time to reflect and know what mistakes we have made. At the moment, we must be solid in terms of ensuring that we are bargaining and riding with an elephant with our own bias. Now this trend is turning we have to be convincing as cryptoverse makes toughness.

One thing I think bearish trend is doing for the cryptocurrency market is the pruning of the bad actors in cryptocurrency sphere.  You can see a lots of influx of people who just want to cheat, scam and create instability in the system.  The decline in price will make cryptocurrency less attractive for these people!

If you are just to believe on what the market may become for like there is some chances of this market that it may ever be taking on the highest price of it and the chances of this lowest price are no to be exact if this can happen.

I think the greatest good that I can appreciate from the Bear market is that many coins become ripe enough to be bought and to be invested upon. As more and more coins are decreasing in prices, this gives the true-blue investors, especially those seeking for long-term investments, to buy some good coins to be held and to be disposed for profit after some times. I know that it's too difficult to have a hopeful view that despite everything crumbling that it will soon rise back up, but that's how the cryptocurrency market is. If you are a real investor, you really have to keep your faith.

I know that it's too difficult to have a hopeful view that despite everything crumbling that it will soon rise back up, but that's how the cryptocurrency market is. If you are a real investor, you really have to keep your faith.

Of course bear is really good for us. Because that we can buy at a low price. And this is a great opportunity to buy. In bull we cannot buy a lot of coins because of the high price.

If you're long term investor bear markets shouldn't affect you negatively. I've never seen anyone in real life who would rather pay more of the product that they want, than less. Exactly the same thing with Bitcoin. 10 out of 10 times i would rather pay less for my investment.

Think bear markets as "sales", makes you feel much better about the situation.

People who are investing for long term investment are in a good situation right now because they will just be waiting for the price to pump up again, while people who are using cryptocurrency to use for living are really having a hard time right now.

Looking into its history,  we can find how crypto is becoming great.  It's huge inclining chart  may show us how it gradually moving high and this dips we have today is gonna be a serious event happen into crypto. I know it won't give attractive into investors right now but we can't leave such thing that it will make another turn in the coming days. 

Excellent observation! You said in April and it's almost happening now! Only real hodlers are shown up otherwise shitcoins is dying already. Many coins have no new update since many days, for the longtime bear market, people stopped asking when the moon, when Lambo type shit questions! I agree with you that the bear market is good for us, at this moment only real crypto lovers are active! Real investors are still investing in ICO  and coins! 

until recently, the market ico of the company was considered very promising, but also for the presence of a large number of scams This market has lost its investment appeal. This has a negative impact on most promising projects.

yes you are right at this time there is a lot of bad news and even good news about just forks is not very useful anymore for the condition of rising prices, there is nothing you can do anymore just hold what you can do right now.

Yes, the bear market will always good for the investors to grab the coins because every time it is not possible to run the bull market. The market will always give chance to investors to buy them when the prices are decreasing, before increasing the price, almost all coin prices will start decreasing in the market.

Major coins are dropping so this opens an opportunity to buy and
hodl long-term some altcoins, or you can hodl and trade short-term
to some alts

Judging by the state of today's level of the crypto-currency market, you will not earn big money. Although in reality there are good chances to buy a crypto currency at a cheap price. This is only if you are really confident of a particular project.

There might very well be some positives to take from the current dip.
It gives investors with limited capital the opportunity to purchase assets at a reduced rate.
It would also get rid of weak hands, and attract investors who believe in the long-term potential in digital currencies.

I don't think that it is any good for us because less is less and more is more. More hype and more money in market - better for us, that's my position.

I don't think bear market good for us at all. It creates panic, people got mad about losing their investment. You are talking for the investor's way, right? But every time traders and investors can't make a profit! The total crypto market is like bleeding! How can it good for us? In my view, it is not good at all.

Right.The bear market will always be good for all investors and holders because it gives us opportunity to buy more potential coins with their affordable prices.Then hold them for long to make a good profit when we see the prices increasing again.

Yes  maybe it's good to us to experience the bear market to buy more in a affordable price. But we need too to make a good profit and it's important to is that market will have move up if we stay in this kind of situation I think many people will move out in crypto that maybe will be cause of crash of crypto.

The bear market might be considered very bad for those who, at the time, were eager to sell their coins, but not for those who think brilliantly. Precisely such a situation is the best time to buy and accommodate cryptocurrency as much as possible. Not only does it stop there the bear market can also trigger the growth of new adopters or beginners to learn about its performance.

After bullish sure will change to bearish and then will change again to bullish, and this is natural market. The bear market is good so many new investor and trader will interesting to buy the coins because the price is very cheap. Now we should be promote the crypto to many people around the world to increase the demand.

Will if you asking the total impact of bearish market,i could definetly say that its negative to the investor on there thought and create a loosing to the part of the investor,otherwise for those who are  beginner  of this crypto investment and want to buy a crypto coins in a low price this is good and you can buy a lot of  different profitabledigital coins in a low volume price and holds it for a certain period of time,to wait those moment thats market will growth.

It can be good for us, but it can also bring risks to investors. You can see Bitcoin pumped up to $ 8k3 and suddenly it dropped to $ 6k1 now. We can not predict anything in the Crypto market so the risk is pretty much. Whatever, I agree with your point of view because now I have bought a lot of cheap EOS and I am profitable at it now. ;D

All trader and investor loss much money in this bearish market, i dont see any good thing on this. The price of all altcoin was back to the price like in the beginning of last year so for the hodler now also in loss.  FUD and price manipulation should be stop because they been make bad thing in crypto ecosystem and the price of crypto in big crash.

it is difficult to stop fud and price manipulation because we know that it's already happening in the market. but I am sure that this will get over soon because people are waiting too long to see the market in the bottom so I think the market will increase in the next months and starting from this month, there will be many coins that trying to break the price and increase higher. so we need to wait for a while and make more buy in any coins if necessary so we can get a lower price for each coin and sell it when the higher price comes.

One great benefit we have in the bear market is to start buying or getting Bitcoin on low price so we will have more savings in this market and we can proceed for further to get more Bitcoins with out savings. This large collection of coins will surprise you in the bull market so do not miss this opportunity if you have savings then go ahead, you will get your profit at the soon.

I agree.This bear season may have take a long time already but still i believe that this is a great opportunity to earn and save more bitcoins while the price is still cheap.We don't know what will happen next so we should grab what is at the present.We will gain huge profits in time if we will learn how to keep them and hold patiently.

Bearish market can not be avoided and this is will good thing for trader who was sell the coin when all the times high and wait patient for the bottomed price to rebuy it, so they will make others profit. From this market crash, now we have more experience how to handle and manage the risk with better strategy. Never be greedy and never FOMO is should be to make profit from in this high fluctuacion market. There are always top and bottom price so never FOMO and never be greedy.

Bear market open the eyes of the people that expects the prices to always go up and then borrow money just to invest on it. It makes people realize that there are always risk involved when it comes to investing and trading and they should always have a strategy to minimize the risk because if you don't have one then probably, you will be out of the market in just a short while because it is not what you expected.

We know that when the bear trend occurs in the long term as it did from 2012 until a few months later the price skyrocketed and
recovered, first we don't have to panic with this, and it's also good for us to be able to collect and buy as many coins as possible

Most of us are thinking that bear market will not be good for us that is causes for us to lose some funds in our investments but not most of the time it will be. There are still times that the bear market will be good for us, it can be a good time to buy more coins and tokens while the prices are lower that it's normal price. We can hold it for a while and just sell it when the market had recovered and bull will run.

Yes, it is good to buy more coin when the prices are very low in the market which we can make more money in longterm holding. Once the price decreases it is very good to buy new coins in the market in order to hold them.

Bear market is only good for those who want to hold long. They are patience and have a passion for crypto. Low prices are one of the long-term investors aiming for.

I hope that every one of us has another plan in the down of price so we can try to search for profitable coins to make money. but the problem is we cannot hold for a long time because we need to make money from crypto and this is why many people were desperate with the market right now. they still holding the coins while they are losing their money too. only some of us that still making the profit because they can get the very low price in the past and now they can sell it at any price.

Wait until end of this month,bear market is the opportunity for us

  We have to wait for high market price appearance and should get updated with the market anytime the value can go high so we have to be alert anytime. This bear market has a benefit for us which are also great benefit to get a lot of Bitcoins using less money so this low price availability of Bitcoin is a rich opportunity for us and we should not miss it for we know not whether it will come again or not.

You think this way, but I don’t think the same. The bearish situation is lasting for long time and such a huge time is not good for investors and cryptocurrency as well, because people will discourage with this market and they will withdraw their money and invest in some regular business, because looking for far future is very hard and many people cannot wait for long time.

I agree with massive adaption and less forks going to happen this late 2018. Cryptocurrency will show its true form and potential investors will campaign on efficient technology like most alts build on before 2017 such as  Eth, Nano, Ripple and Stellar

If an investor is sure about the growth in the price in the future he will wait for long time and will bear this worst situation of the market, but if there is no sign of growth in the price then why one should wait for such a long time? I think it is just a waste of time and money. Investors want quick response about their investment, that’s why they bear this situation.

This is perfect for those of you who are trying to take short-term profits or trade because the prices there are very large and investment can be done in a short time

This bear market is only a big oppurtunity to investors because they have the ability to buy coins at lower rates while some of us , specifically hodlers didnt really like this kind of market because we are also impatient when it comes to waiting for the right time on when will the coins will pump . workers are the one that is totally affected by this dip because their salary will be lesser , which means they cant provide suficient support to their families .

Bearish can be bad and can be a profitable thing for you, it can be a bad thing if you don't know when the lowest price will happen and you buy before the lowest price occurs, it can be a good thing if you can buy at the bottom price come. and for current condition the price has stopped and not dropped below $6k, from that I believe that the lowest price is at $6k and I think you should use it by buying it

Our portfolio is almost 4X to 6X down as compare January 2018, if we didn’t sell our coin in February or March 2018 then I don’t think we have to sell now in more dip. Now it’s better to wait for some good time, market will re bounce but when??? No one can tell exactly but it will pump.
In other words we can take advantage from this bear of market…we can buy coin at dump & after we can sell them in pump.

I think some people don't always think that bear market is good and I think Bear Market can be considered good if they understand how to trade well and correctly because the bear market is the right time to buy as much coins as you can while cheap.

The Bear is not really good but I agree it has also good sides! It will show us which coins come out of the crisis stronger, and which coins or tokens are just a kind of pumped rubbish.

What does not kill me, makes me stronger! (Nietzsche)

There has been very little FUD in the air in my opinion, quite the contrary.

Good news keep on coming every day and more institutions are getting onboard in offering cryptocurrencies and presenting them to the public.

Treat the bear like you treat sales in a normal shop, and i've never been worried about paying less money for same product.

I am of the opinion that every situation do present an opportunity. The current bear market present an opportunity for investors to invest in cryptocurrency. It actually gives opportunity to those who were unable to invest when the market price was high.

Though it took a long time to recover but it is not so far to have a high market of high value for which we have to well prepare ourselves that is to start buying coins and make a large collection of it to count your profit of maximum value. So this current market which is an opportunity for us to get Bitcoin on low price that is why we say that bear is good for us in order to make a large collection of Bitcoins.

Yes, every condition whether bear or bull will give an opportunity. Holders will benefit when a bull happens and new investors will have a good starting point whenever the bear occur. These two possibilities are what I hope will be able to keep bitcoin alive for a long period of time.
