What you do in bear market? what you do when your coin price down, or bounty payment is far below your expectation?
many ppl will HODL their coin until pamp, but when? when pamp? when lambo?

that's not smart way to survive in red market. this is smart way to survive in red market:
1. cash out to fiat (if your loss is huge, skip this)
2. trade your coin/scalping (if you are nub or just simply lazy reading chart everyday, skip)
3. hold coin/token which give you airdrop (if you are impatient or don't know what coin to hold, skip)
4. hold top coin (btc and its childrens) and token with extraordinary project ex. Pundi X (i sold all mine 5 day ago) (not surprising way)
5. staking

i've tried ^this all, and for now staking is best way to get more money in red market. i have real job so trading is not suitable, i also can't just hold, that's not productive and give you nothing. by staking, you can grow your coin by doing nothing, and can give you decent profit if you stake coin with big return (always stake good coin).

(improved post, thanks to Dancing_Lion)

Edit September 2022:
- i know those are obvious

- removed masternode

- always stake in your own wallet! Do not use 3rd party staking service, like exchange

- you can do day trading even if you can not see/read chart everyday. Just use trading bot in exchange. Each exchange may have different names but be sure to use ONLY SPOT TRADING BOT and choose pair with high volume and coin with lower price than your balance. I gained $3.5 in 1.5 day with $40 in trading balance. 9% for a day, not bad.
For muslim, futures trading is haram, my brother. Spot still give you good earning

- Nowadays dapps like social media type can get you free cryptocurrency. Like steemit or hive.blog and many more.

- nft is scam

- blockchain game is scam unless free to play. But that is usually not worth the time.

Good luck all 🙂

Such high staking masternode/Poss coins are far from guaranteed profit given how unstable the circulating supply is. Massive returns are possible but more likely is that your coins will dump in value at the same rate as you accumulate more.

How do you survive in the red market? I'm having a lot of problems: the electronic money goes down, the bonuses involved are not paid. What should I do? Is there a way to solve the deadlock?

I do day trading. The basic rule is just buy the dips and then sell them if there is an up. Though profits are not that high in day trading but still there are. You just need to monitor the prices moat the time.

I really admire your strategy here. I believe anyone that adopts this strategy may not easily run into loss in cryptocurrency.

yes personally i'll avoid that ROI with more than 1k%, mostly not stable and no volume, or shitcoin. but i know good coin with good project and sweet return, i'll keep it for my self  ;D but that masternodes site is really useful tool

And that's the point, when we will get the passive income from masternode coin but the price went down and that will be the same or useless. The only possible thing to keep survive in the market by try to buy more and more and then we can try to recover our amount through use another rebounce of the coin itself. I have been doing it and it's much better rather than pegged to the masternode coin.

Good advices and strategy you've come up with to survive the red market.

What are the coins you are staking now? in masternodes, it's hard to stick with those low capital coins as said above it also depends on the market condition.

Read the post, it gave a lot of advices that you can try.

yes different people different method. i'm impatient person so masternode is better way for me. also i have no money left to buy more

Honestly, I don't know how masternodes work to earn the profits. But I think the high of ROI looks like a bait to fishing the investors. And they always make me feel anxious. Maybe each person will pay a litter of tokens to participate, but it will reach to big asset which is required to masternode working ?!? (I am not sure about that). So we always be scammed. If it's not true, kindly enlighten me.

100% agree with number one, exchange coin with fiat is good to prevent loss investment so much. But no profit

These are great tips to survive the bears market. A combination of scalping and masternodes ownership would suffice for me. I'll definitely be into how to secure some masternodes with the link provided. This I think will be a good way to average down on my losses so far. Thanks a lot poster

Whatever you do, it is not easy to stay afloat under market conditions. You either have to be very lucky or very knowledgeable. The measures taken may not be very useful.

Glad to help

You get paid by validating blocks, just like mining but hardware is replaced by required coins. and profit is determined by coin price in market.
But yes many project claim they have high ROI to atract more investor, but this is no problem if they have real project. research always first thing, that's why i put that link

Staking.
Yeah done that too but it really takes a while to have a large amount of coins since you will need to have to invest first of if ever it did came to the airdrop.
But its free so what the hell. I'd take it and try to make something out of it.

Holding I guess will be the best idea up until now which is a snail movement. Trading wont effect much since you need a lot of volatility.

My strategy to survive is always keep up to date with the news.
I always holding fiat after get a profit from a trade, and wait for the good news for next trade.
Just getting like 2-4% profit, but it's okay in this market condition

In my own opinion, for you to survive the red market, you must know how to hold you coin until the right time that the value of it becomes high. with that idea, you can avoid losing profit.

to conduct the defence against the Red market is necessary to strengthen and render more support to generate more profits that bring progress to improve its development.

For me I'll check the situation, if it possible to cash out my coins then i'll do it, but if it's not worth it, then I'll keep my coins and wait patiently until the price is at the level that i desired.

If you think that that style of trading will work then keep doing that and make little but profitable earnings, I'm not good with shorting so I keep
holding even things is not working well with my investment and my bounties, wait till it go high and meet my expectations not unless I really needed
some money to use for my emergency but until then I will just wait and hold as my new way with this unpredictable market.

There is some statistics that the holders are at the top of earnings on cryptocurrencies. So if there is a main job, it is better to keep your tokens and coins until better times.

There are different ways to increase the  number of your coins in bearish market. All the mentioned ways work. The only problem
is that they may  lose in value  more than that you can earn by staking, scalping. Anyway it is active and much better  way to protect
your investment during  bearish market.

you know staking also require you to hold coin, so you will get double profit if you stake good coin (dash, etc) and market start to green. hold=profit, hold by staking=profit++
i hope ppl not just blindly hold until their coin price becoming ash

I buy dividend based coin during the red to ensure  cashflow. Trading is anoher thingI do of which I found to be equally profitable. Trading in bear market gives unfair advantage to the savvy traders and the best mouth watering offers are during this period!

Indeed all altcoins will become ash, but not the right decision if we sell them to get or cut losses. It's better to keep holding and look for opportunities to sell if the pump happens.

This can be used as the motivation for us all, to avoid doing a panic selling that could cause loss on ourself and also making the price of altcoin to drop even more.

could you please explain what staking and masternode further? And what kind of coin do you mostly trade? Because most of the time when the market is red, all the coins are actually red and decrease in significant price.

That's right. Changing it to Fiat money is a good choice and you don't need to worry if the token/bitcoin will go down.

As far as i know that having masternode is like a passive income and you're gaining profit even you are sleeping but it will depends on the token and its value, if its decreasing then you might lose.

masternodes promises higher returns over shorter period of time.  but don't depend your profits based on the report.  as everybody sees the high gain of certain masternode coin, a lot will go invest into the masternode, making the profit smaller as the number of masternode increases.  over time, the extreme high return cannot sustain and there would be correction.  A good strategy is to look for NEW masternode with fewer nodes, this way you can gain more shares from the network.  just have to be lucky the coins will be a profitable one in the future.

for now it will be able to survive by holding and supporting its development through support for coins.
 I see the development of the market will be very able to increase by holding coins to improve the existing market development.

The only thing we can do is to wait. In which wait for the bull to come. For the coins to rise up and such. We cannot really do something for the numbers in the statistics to rise immediately but rather we can encourage other people to invest in crypto currency for better market population that will increase the market's value.

Yes, you are right we need to be very careful when the market is moving in the downtrend and it is impossible to trade when the market is going and which we can not able to sell them. The only choice we have is to hold the coins instead of selling them for low prices until the price starts increasing.

How to find that good coin to bring us better profit?Lol do you think that easy you can get one?Since its only once i a thousand if not millions lol.stop dreaming because even you cannot find that daily

And about masternodes that promise %1,180 return of investments?Only stupid people here will trust your stupid idea.because if thats reality all the investors now are millionaires and richer lol

Indeed, one thing that is safe when the market is exchanging with fiat, so the risk of loss is very small.
Besides that, coins can be held and wait patiently.

when the dumps come you should not be trying to go against the market. it would be like trying to swim against the river near a waterfall! you can try but eventually the water will carry you down the waterfall and crush you at the bottom.
what you should do is either staying away or trying to go with the flow and making profit from it by doing thins like shorting or buying the dips and selling the dead cat bounces.

things such as #4. staking and masternode are also the same thing as going against the market flow. specially in coins that are giving you a lot of reward for staking,... because they have a lot more supply which will be dumped and their crashes are usually much bigger.

Best recommendation to survive in a red market is to stop panic and be patient.

Psychologically, the best strategy is not to maximize your wins, but minimize your losses. Treat trading like a business. A business always seeks to minimize losses and liabilities first, before going into maximizing profits. That doesn't mean don't take risks! but make sure the rewards are huge relative to the risk you are taking.

For situation market like this, exchange to fiat is best way to make our asset safe, bitcoin to fiat, even dumped is not much than altcoin to bitcoin. If be patient, even only exchange to fiat, can give us good profit.

In down market, there are many way help you to survive, trade to increase coin that you are holding, do airdrop/bounty as a part time job, hold fiat and wait better chance to join market  8)

In bear market, you will experiencing more losses if you keep holding it. You will need to holding very long time to wait the recover of the market.
What i can do in bear market is by selling the coins if a certain price hit, so you can cut the losses in short time.

Really? r u just suffered great loss?

i put link not without purpose. Lol i get more bucks while you trolling me

Nope. sometime cutloss is best decision

I want to learn how to run a masternode but i think it needs a superfast internet which is none in our country. How do you run your masternode OP?

Do you have some recommended staking coins?

short the market, hold as much as possible.

Oh, it looks like we invest and they will buy devices to mine coins, right? Thank you for the information, I will take a look myself when I have a small asset.

For now the proper way is to hodl, not to trading and selling, The most profit you will get if you you will sell when bul run will back.

The red market can survive just as well as the growing one. You just need to be able to trade. And then you even in the sidewall will be able to make a profit. There are many different auxiliary indicators to help

How does it possible? Looks like good at first. How about people buying more coins to make more profit by staking their coins? i'm sure you're promoting this coin so beginners will likely to buy coins to stake coin. Stay away from this kind of scheme. If you can't handle risk people don't buy!

No that's cloud mining. MN is you hold and lock ex. 1000 coins in your wallet to create masternode which purpose is validating block. you can do it in your own wallet or join shared masternode service in both sites which require less coins

No i'm not promoting any of those coins, nor i have their MN. Just for example

if you really need a cut loss, what is wrong ... all depends on our decision - each, if afraid of experiencing a bigger loss, cut loss is indeed the solution

Thanks for the idea and links of the sites for staking, honestly im kind of tired on how to survive in this bear market, ive lost almost 80% of my assets and nothing change for about 2 months, and now i read this thread so i get more ways of idea to survive the bear market, i want to try this.

For me trading is still the best because in my case, gaining good profits even in the bear market is possible. But I didn't tried staking so far. May I know where do you put your coins for staking? My fear about this staking is the assurance that the platform will not be closed for some reasons. I know there are unsuccessful sites out there.

How can you choose a good masternode ? i've bad experience with masternode. Good at start, but in 1 month price dump af. My investment almost -100%

The way you survive in a flushed market situation is very good. Obviously I don't understand to try your way. I still hold a few coins waiting for the price to rise on the market. Hope the green light is on at the end of the year.

Don't choose coins with incredible ROI (that's why i don't have smartfox. i put there just for example). and other is normal research, like checking github, discord/telegram if active, and check if it have real project, not just another MN coin

I've done few of what you mentioned above, and it is proven able to help me stand still when market is entering the red zone.
Right not i've tried to expand my wings on the trade, hopefully it will got even better than just doing a bounty campaign.

always monitor the market and if the pump starts you can sell and buy back when a dump occurs. profit from the trade you can invest for the long term.

Lol what makes you take it so easily? Have you considered about the difficulty before try to mine it? with only a small rig and then it would be impossible to do. They mine it because they have been joining it from the start.
You sound like need to get more knowledge about that.

That is actually not a smart way to survive in red market, when the market is read the best way is to buy some more and hold, trading could be an option if the chart show that the price going to fall down further, investing in master node take too many capital to start and the ROI also quite long unless you are investing on infamous coin, making a bad movement in red market could end up losing huge money, so everything need to be calculated carefully

His way is very simple, don't worry about the market when it is falling, sell your coins as soon as possible to get back your investment. If you can accept the losing, do nothing and waiting for another pump. Don't sell your free coin if its price is too low.

if I always survive when the market is red again. By buying coins at prices below. and I always try to find additional capital not from the loan proceeds from the bank or other people ..

Crypto should make our world simpler, especially financial problems, I think that is the main purpose of crypto, which is to make our lives easier.

Alright, thanks for sharing, I think i will be trying masternode and staking one of this days because that's what I've not been doing

This strategy has been used by many people but still there is a possibility that you will experience a loss.

Staking is an old idea. Those who got in early of course made a lot of profits during the bull run but if you look long term at POS coins,,, you almost see that mainly their value slowly erodes over time, because of course people will sell their interest from staked coins, just until they gain back their investment. Many will continue to stake until they have 2x or 3x compounded coins, before selling again. Seems like a good idea at first until you see everything drop.

There is no trick and no secret. Everything stops working after a while.

All these steps are unproductive in such conditions. Only day trading is possible, and tokens will not give any hope, as all alt falls in value. So grab the pumps and constant corrections.

I stopped and retired my entire Altcoin to FIAT if the market started to show signs of going down. There is not anything in Crypto. We need to have plans when the market begins to fall, or we will lose money because the big waves start to go crazy.

Oh great, i guest i bet for the first dump after the ICO to first to earn before it will drop into the deep. I mean the price of the fresh ICO projects is good at the start but after distribution the price of it will drastically drop so you need to be first to dump before it goes to dip. And statking is also good if you have much coins inside it, but if you dont the stakes you will get is small, but can survive in the reds.

Don't skip to buy and hold, but make sure that the coins you want to buy is good and has a ability to grow more in the future. Red market advantage is to buy more and hold.

we just need to grab and manage any good chances and opportunities.
no drop in value if you get a coin with real project which bring real demand, not only from stakers

Nothing guaranteed, sir

It mean that I can use the my own wallets to join masternode? So is it safe? Can you tell me how to join masternode?



Thank you for your advice. I have still learnd more about masternode here. If you have more information, kindly send me this. Thanks in advance.

When the market is falling down so much, then i'll stop to sell my coins, after that I will try to analyze the market and start to purchase coins when i feel the market reach it's lowest price.

it is true that the four ways that you suggest along with the reasons too, I am more focused on the second and third points, because I am currently using that method to get profit when the price of coins decreases, I will not be lazy to analyze coin price changes, because it is very important to know lowest price and highest price if you want to trade

The down trend of crypto can be considered as the buy time, and try to sell them all when they are getting another rebound again. this is a speculation market and anything depends on the demand and supply. i just try to take an opportunity to buy more and more dude. It can be considered as a good strategy.

I sold some of my Ethereum to take part in several legitimate ICOs, and it proved that it gave me many advantages. I also trade crypto daily. The basic rule is just buy the dips and then sell them if there is an up. but that made my time run out to check the development of the market, this strategy was effective enough for me to survive the bear market.

You should sell your coins when the market start red cycle, and buy later in the bottom. But its hard to find the bottom.

So basically, what you are saying is if a person has a day job and unable to trade or study trading, just look for coins/tokens with POS and masternode. Not a bad idea but you have to be very careful also because there are those that offer lucrative returns but with no real use case.

The most important thing to keep in mind during slowdown is that it's normal for the crypto market to have negative years—it's part of the cycle.By staying calm and not making any sudden moves, you'll save yourself from becoming a bear's lunch. Like do not sell and do not buy. just be patient and wait till it will grow

if I personally prefer to retain a portion of the potential coins even though it has got profit, for example eth yesterday I bought eth at a price of $ 170 and when it was sold but I chose to keep it. and I also do scalping for even though the profit is a little but if we can be consistent it is enough. lastly I like to arbitrate if I see the difference in altcoin prices between markets is quite large.

Thanks for sharing your tips. In this bear market, I mainly hold my coins, host masternode coins and staking coins to earn passive income. Same here, I have a day job and can’t really do day trading.

This is a safe way to market a flame and not notice a sign of prosperity. But in the long run the money is the money we all want it to grow, if the market forever like this will make people give up it

You lines are good planning well one can come of a red market. Where I am not too comfortable is the staking area cause I know some coins dump so hard one won't get his/her initial deposit . 

A bear market is a big challenge for most merchants. Newbies who are not ready for this usually do not understand that the trend has already changed And continue to increase losses. Such people have the greatest losses in the end.

The method of trading with scalping in my opinion is the most effective way to survive in the midst of crypto currency prices that continue to fall, and it proved to keep me going until now, hopefully other friends can still survive and keep trying to be better at in the world of crypto currency

but it is better to fix a 10-20% loss of the deposit than to continue to keep and lose even more. You can also beat off the loss on other coins that are growing in such a heavy market, and such opportunities are missed when holding. Now the market has stopped falling and is more in the flat. maybe a little now and you can start buying.

I think 10-20% is too big in trading, because the market is now very bleak and not much change in day and week. I think it should be about 5-7% is appropriate

How would I live in the red market ??!

What to do is sit tight for the bull , and watch the costs all an opportunity to get higher benefits , and all the more beyond any doubt. this isn't simple yet you have persistence.

I think that the red market would need to buy cheap but promising coins. And hold out until the coin grows up that's the whole strategy.

Market is unpredictable ,making sure to buy a popular one to survive in long lasting and able to hodl until it bounceback price . Though it changes price from time to time and it's not good idea to trade due to volatile market in order to secured making sure we're willing to wait to survive and not to regrets.

I will try a little solution that you offer about trading, if it is true I am very grateful to you, for the solution you offer. and congratulations on working again

I can survive in red market with my passion about blockchain and cryptocurrencies.I know crypto will reach huge number of marketcap in the future because of that i am not feeling bad about current situation.The most important thing is you need to some money outside of crypto for your real life necessarities. 

There are so many coins that stake and that could actually be the best thing to do for whoever has less free time for activities, but it is not the best way to get the best for yourself, perhaps financially. Trading could be the most effective for those who have the time.

What causes many investors to lose and lose in a market is the calm and careful in times when the market fluctuates most. For example when I saw the price of a coin I was investing drastically, I would sell it out, however then it rose sharply. That is a mistake

I dont  believe staking is the best way to survive,trade in marginal trading in bitmex and make a short trade when the market is going down so you will still be able to make money while you arent doing too much.I have been trading alts but this margin trading is much better faster income you could make 1btc from your 0.1 in just few hours it just take a lot of practice to make a lot of money in cryptocurrencies.

And when you buy masternode you are married to her! I remember when people bought 1000 chaincoin at 6$ price to make a masternode, and they locked it. After few days it was obvious that was pump and dump, and they were stuck. Now that masternode is 45$.

This guide consistst of obvious descisions. In addition, I cannot get what do you understand under terms of survival in this case? And why cashing is not an option, when your loss is huge? If you do not cash out in the right time, you may loose even more. Please, improve it.

Basically, for me, I just try to distract myself with other things when I see that I'm becoming a bit too worried or anxious about the market. I do other things to keep my mind busy, or other times, I just buy more coins, and hodl them because I see this market as a good opportunity to stock up my wallets.

Your tutorial may work for people with large stacks, but most of users do not have such budgets. In addition, you should write a little tutorial about patience, because it seems to be one of the most imortant values for surviving the red market. But remember that very patient people may loose a lot too!

Stacking may be a good option for people, who have enough expririence, but if you are not as good as your wish to be, it may cause a lot of consequences, most of which will make you upset. By the way, exprienced traders manage to survive even without such great guides.

What is the point of posting your "guide" right now? Market is becoming greener every day, and I hope that it will not go back to the red in nearest future. In my opinion, hoddling migh also work in some cases. For example, people, who hodled XRP got their benefits of chosing this strategy.

masternods with such percentages depreciate very quickly and their coins are not worth anything so I can say that you won’t earn money from it

Masternode is though good to invest in but the ones given unreasonable amount of returns are not to be trusted with all your capital since it might not be sustainable. Dash and other reliable masternode that has been in the system for long time is best to invest in.

I agree with this, as it mostly happens to everyone. If the price is dropping people will panic and start selling which will drown the coin value. There is a proverb that patience always prevails.

If we are on bloody market you will also sell it immediately to avoid losing a huge money of your funds. If the price of your cryptocoins will continue dropping for its price.

My way of surviving the red market is by ignoring it. I buy those coins which I wanted to buy for a long time and then I begin to wait. It seems to me that this is the best and most profitable way. Other don't even expect

When the bear market comes to an end as for example now I can say that buying and holding a digital asset is very profitable !

I do not have much experience in cryptocurrency, so thanks for sharing that knowledge. I will study and apply in different circumstances.

Most people here in crypto industry are being annoyed when the markets turned down in red charts, some loss their funds and some are  thinking how to get advantage to make pŕofits when the markets are bleeding. In order for us to survive or overcome this situation, we must have contŕol on ourselves to trade wisely and have patience to wait for the market full recovery.

The red market even frightens many. But I don't see anything wrong with him. It's just temporary difficulties that are easy enough to cope with and I do not understand why try to do something hard. Waiting is the best tactic

Ofcourse, this reddish market disappoints most of the investors but people who are planning for long-term investment can take this opportunity as advantage. Yes if you overcome this tough situation I am sure you will become a champion, I am still upset after seeing the coin market cap today. But still I believe it will recover slowly and pump again in upcoming days.

why cashout is not an option when your portfolio is in huge loss because you will get real loss! your portfolio can go up again sometime. in this case hold is better, or use number 2

I am using margin trading to survive. It is very risky but can give you a high profit. I also do bounties and hodl these coins for the better times. One day, the market will turn bullish and all coins will pump really hard.
