It's that simple. What you think of future prices could be bullish or bearish.

If you have problem remembering the difference: a bull throws things up in a fight, a bear uses his claws in a downward movement.

In other words:
At this moment, BULLS suck hard, whereas BEARS kill it.

Bulls tend to be irrational, bears are more grounded and analytical and as a result make more money.  8)

Bull Vs. Bear is all about the price swing

if you think the price will go up you buy (bullish) and sell for high price then get a profit
if you think the price will go down you sell (bearish) and buy for lower price then get a profit


ps-> hodl , is the guy who get a bitcoin and keeps it. Hodlers don't give a shit to the blood trend. Its virtualy impossible arguing with then, or try to convince then to change their believes. The ultimate level hodl destroys the private key.  8) ;D

You just sent fiat to Gox. Being flippant just makes you look like an asshole now, we already know how dumb you are.

Bulls Bears tend to be irrational, daydreaming about buying at unrealistically low prices while bears bulls are more grounded and analytical and as a result make more money by researching how Bitcoin works and gaining an understanding of its value as a long-term investment to hold.

This goes on for infinity and ones opinions oscillates between the two.

A simple  bear strategy is sell while the price going down to buy back at a lower price.
A simple bull strategy is  buy while the price is going up to sell at a higher price.

Both in there simple form are equally floored.

Sentiment is relative, if you go back just 3 months in Bitcoin history Bulls have nailed it. But Bears are always in vogue, and many have been killed hung up and weighed in the meme speculation thread. And some fiew in fact make a killing by predicting market sentiment.

In short bulls bears and pigs get slaughtered or hunted, only honey badgers don't give a s#!£.
Honey badgers buy and hold.

Edit LOL at the image above.

Sending money to gox has nothing to do with me looking like an asshole. That comes naturally. Looks like you still need practice.
