Bitcoin Forum

I fellas I have two questions to ask crypto experts and investors in this forum today

1. Is this a good time to build crypto portfolio?
2. Do you really think that bear market will be a dipping as 2018?

Now that crypto is gaining more investors day by day and crypto adoption is increasing massively I don't think that the next bear market will be crazily low like 2018/2019, what do you think?

1. Actually it's always the good time to build your portfolio. But to say currently, I would definitely say that it's a yes after the market plunged.

2. Not that really, the trend has changed anymore and I think it's not going to exceed if we take bitcoin as an example that have dropped to $28k.

1. Now is always the best time to build your crypto portfolio. The longer you put it off for the future, waiting for it to come down, the higher the crypto price will be, resulting to you not buying anything while other people are already enjoying the gains.

2. There is this thing that we call ‘higher lows’ if it makes sense to you. I don’t think that we’re heading towards 2018/2019 levels price-wise, though perhaps we might even see drops with the same gravity percentage-wise. We may not see bitcoin fall off to below $1k ever again, but we may see it fall down 80% from where it is right now.

I think that there is no way that we will be seeing the same dip level like in 2018. For going down that much, we will need a record decrease in the price like we have never seen so far. Bitcoin is a highly volatile cryptocurrency but I don't expect that much. After getting past a certain level, I believe that Bitcoin price won't go down that much unless most people stop demanding it one by one. Demand is a very affective factor in this.

In my opinion.
#1. Every time is good to build a crypto portfolio, there is no way to predict the market when to make a better shot to invest in crypto. But if bitcoin was made in a double amount in dollar value compared to last year, it will have the potential to double again the price in the future. Look around, bitcoin adoption was quickly spreading and for sure this has an effect on the price since it is a fixed amount in total in the market cap. So investing in the long term has a guarantee to make you a profit if you want to start your portfolio now and a friendly reminder, be careful with altcoins investment, it is better on bitcoin because it feels safe.

#2. No one knows if there is a bear market, so far there is no bear market. But as I said above, no one knows.
Adoption was going on and I think more and more countries that crypto becomes legal tender, so it is impossible to have a bear market again. As I said, look around.

If you believe and are willing to take a risk, just invest it of what you can afford, and welcome to the crypto world.

I think you should not wait for bear market if you are investing for long term as far as I know crypto industry is very new as compared to other industry so I think if you invest right now and leave it then you can see your portfolio 50x or more than this in coming years.

1. Do you have enough money to invest in crypto currencies? I mean, can you afford to lose all your money after investing in crypto currencies? If yes, then now is the perfect time for you to build your portfolio.

2. No one knows. No one can answer that for you. The dips are the risk that you have to take. As long as you don't sell during a bear market, you won't be making any loss.

The best time to buy crypto was yesterday, the second best is now.

Is this a good time to buy in? It definitely is. Now is absolutely a better time to get in than tomorrow.

Remember:

"Time in the markets beats timing the markets."

The more you spend time in the markets, the wiser you get.

You'll regret not buy now just like how people regretted selling at a loss in the dip during those 2018 huge crushes. Just invest as much as you can afford to lose and hold long term because that's how most cryptocurrency veterans are doing right now.

1. Anytime is a good time
2. There's no way because the support we are having right now is just too big for it to fail. There's already institutions accepting Bitcoin. Even a country made it legal. 2018 dip is not going to happen.

The time is good to invest and build your crypto portfolio but make sure to have proper allocation of your funds into potential coins like bitcoin or some good altcoins if you wish to have them.But don't go for any shitcoin that could ruin your portfolio and your funds will be lost forever and regretting later on is not going to work so be wise and go for bitcoin and you don't need to worry about any bearish trend and just hold for long term.

I have confidence that the market situation will remain different from 2017 or 2018. the upcoming bears may indeed disrupt the current market. but I'm sure the situation will not be like in 2018.
Market support conditions are also different for the time being. see many new projects developed from various existing ecosystems getting success. I guess too soon we'll see the bears.
a market that is experiencing a decline due to the trend created by bitcoin. while many altcoins continue to gain market strength after correction. I believe we are still in a safe market at this time to start or hold assets.

to build a healthy portfolio i think good time or bad time it's not matter if you able to researching and put with legitimate projects for future.
i agree crypto market is bigger day by day and beside it's adoption increased in some countries. but we don't predict about bear market.
 

1. If you're interested in long-term investments, particularities of the market's state shouldn't concern you. You might lose some money at first, but not really if you don't sell the coins. And if we're talking about solid coins and years of waiting, you can end up profiting even if the market crashes hard this month. Many coins on the top of the list by market capitalization are a bit down in comparison to their prices a week ago, so now seems to be an okay time to start.
2. I think we'll see around 60% loss, in contrast to around 80% loss that many altcoins faced the last time. But again, it shouldn't bother you if you're in it for the long run.

1. Timely it is clearly very appropriate to build your portfolio in some good coins, because opportunities like now will never come again in the future.

2. I myself never thought that the next bear market would be exactly like 2018/2019, because right now there is a lot of good support coming into cryptocurrency.

It is clear, many investors from various countries are now in cryptocurrency and this is certainly very good for the survival of cryptocurrency and its growth, because new investors who enter cryptocurrency are to invest in some good coins, especially Bitcoin.

Shitcoin or meme coin is not the right choice for investment besides the high risk shitcoin is also not promising,
indeed the most appropriate choice is bitcoin and potential altcoins as you said,
What is clear is that in choosing a coin, at least do research and analysis first so that we can get detailed information

1. With the current decline in the price of crypto assets it is a good time to rebuild the portfolio, buy at multiple prices so you don't miss the current cheapest price, don't wait too long for it to go down further.

2. For me personally, the current Bear market will not be like what happened in 2018/2019, maybe the percentage decline will approach but will not drop to the same price

I see these days as an opportunity. Everything was on sale over the past few days. I just took the opportunity to simultaneously purchase more of my favorite altcoins. My holdings include ETH, ADA, LTC, BNB, XRP, and Stakenet XSN. I'm pretty sure that the next bull run will be life changer for many people since the return of profits is going to be massive.

1. It's always a good time always to build a crypto portfolio. Don't hesitate.

2. No one knows. Why worried about that. What's the use of analysis and making strategies?

In any investment, there's not 100% perfect. There's always a challenge and difficulties along the way. Try to find the strategy that will be able to help you in the long run.

From the look of things I also don't think the bear market will be as severe as that of 2018, crypto has advance even more than previous years, more institutional investors, adoptions has increase more than before, everytime new investors are coming in, so yes I think now is the time to build your portfolio, am sure coming years will be more favourable to crypto.

First thing you need to know is there are actually no crypto 'experts' per se, and as a crypto enthusiast it's much better not to have the impression that one is a crypto expert, cause if you do, you may more or less stop doing your own research and just basically start copying whatever it is the person does.
In my opinion, it actually depends on the coin you want to make up your portfolio, for example, I believe in the Bitcoin network and it's a long term project as well, thus it's always a good time to buy Bitcoin, as for the bear market, quite a lot of things have changed about the network since then, so things may not pan out exactly the same way as it did in the past.
I second that.

Its always a good time to get in and buy some crypto and you always have the option to Dollar Cost Average which is the safest strategy.

I don't think we will be seeing similar levels because the crypto market is maturing every year and bitcoin has proven again and again that it recovers from every dip. This has created a trust among bitcoin holders and more people are just HODLing to their bitcoins which further creates a lesser dip.

1. Why be afraid that's how the crypto world works, If you are brave enough to take risks with the money you have this is the right thing to build your portfolio

2.if seen from history, it may be true that a bear market will happen but that only applies to the month of September, if you have enough technical analysis, it doesn't mean that a bear market will happen, it might turn out to be bullish. Maybe,  No one knows. what we must always understand in the crypto market is high risk high return

Long-term investments are investments that don't have to be waited on or seen every day because those who do that only look at market conditions which then make choices on good coins to hold them for a longer term, so actually this is very simple.

Seeing the growing enthusiasm in cryptos day by day, it does not seem that the market will repeat the 2018 dip again in the future it's just my opinion. It's not a bad time to build your crypto portfolio for example if we compare BTC and ETH value in the early stages when they are growing we will get the right answer.

The best time is when everyone starts to think that the market will continue to fall and will never progress to rise, all the people want either to sell or reduce losses and there is no greed in the market.

There is no confirmation that the price will follow the same thing that happened in 2018, but if what is happening in 2017 is repeated, the probability that corrections will occur with the same percentage is very high.

In general, investing in bitcoin at the moment may not be good for those who plan to profit in the medium term. It may be acceptable for the medium level and certainly good for the long term.

I believe it's a good time to buy crypto as most of the prominent coins are much lesser than their all time high and there is a great resistance due to institutional investment and coins frozen on the blockchain. With the rise of Fintech around blockchain, we can expect more and more adoption in the near future. The supply are limited for most prominent coins and with the rising popularity of DEFIs and crypto as a whole, the demand for crypto and utility tokens for fees are increasing.

All your questions have been answered.  Now it's your turn to decide the end result.
It's all clear that if you're sure that cryptocurrencies are becoming more and more enthusiasts, it's clear that your belief in cryptocurrencies is good enough to become an investor.
The most important thing before starting to buy coins, please do a reset first and observe the development of the coin.

1) Better wait for the bear market and buy the promising altcoins.
2) It can go as down as $20k per Bitcoin, IMHO.

Is it a good time for short-term speculation or long-term investment?
For long-term speculations, it may be better to choose a more appropriate moment for short-term speculations.
Just never need to buy to invest all the funds at once. Better to buy every month throughout the year.
I'm expecting a bear market, but first I'm expecting a bitcoin price of over $ 100,000 this year.

^ I don't know if this is a good suggestion, the problem is when until you will wait that there is a bear market? Do you mean you need to wait until the BTC price drop to $20k or lower than that is the sign that the market is bear? I probably disagree about your opinion and that is not good because there is no exact time when BTC hit that amount. For me, anytime you can build your own crypto and wait for it until your profit was there because I believe that the market price will increase and increase after years passed and probably there is no chance the price of BTC will back again in $20k. We have a lot of investors and it was known across the whole world, I don't think there is a massive drop beyond this price right now.

Yes, even if you are not ready yet better to enter into this market now and have a good chance to make profit. Bitcoin is cheaper compare to last week so this can be a good chance to fill up your portfolio though of course know the risk of this action since there's no guarantee in this market.

Bear market was already done and we dipped to $39k as far as I know, that was 4 months ago and now we are starting to recover so for me, we will not hit that much just like in 2018, we are on a different level now.

Whenever is the right time to build a portfolio, it all depends on how you manage the money

No one knows about it but if it's only according to personal predictions, then it's unlikely that events will be like in 2018 because now it is different from the past. now we get more support

In one word my answer would be no, you do not start building your portfolio when the market already rallied a lot. You need to make these decisions when the market is in a correction phase.

When it comes to percentage dip then you can expect the same percentage overall and that is what i am expecting during the bear run.

There is no debate about more investors coming into the market and so is the reason we saw the price rallying to crazy highs but the bear market will be brutal as far as i see because all these investors are here to make a profit and they will cash out one way or the other.

If you have capital and trust in crypto, why not?
You can be grateful someday as your investment will grow, not today but in the future. Just choose those coins that are potentially it gives you a profit. A long-term investment is ideal.

Just forget how we suffered a huge fallback last 2018 because it is seemingly different from what we've experienced this time. I'm so optimistic that it won't happen again today and in the future as the demand keeps on growing.

Investing in crypto has indeed been much in demand by the world community today, let alone investing in bitcoin and alltcoin is also no less interested because it both provides benefits if entered at the right time. But it is well known that the crypto market is not very predictable. So if you want to build a portfolio from now on, it doesn't matter. Hold your portfolio until the price goes up.

1. The real question is, are you willing to take the risk? Because you can buy anytime as long as you are ready. I just bough today with the good coins, I’m confident that the market will recover again and its already happening.

2. Bear market was different by that time, and this year we already experienced that bear trend now is the recovery phase of the market and if we are able to break the resistance, we can go further.

Don’t think too much about bear market, that is an opportunity to buy and actually many are waiting for that trend again.

this word crypto experts is something that makes me laugh because crypto experts always get their price predictions wrong, you mustn't believe these crypto experts


honestly speaking, we are in a dangerous zone that can make the price fall, but it is not a scenario like 2008, this will not happen like in 2008, don't worry, the maximum that can fall would be to fall to $42000 but then the price would go up again


like I said we won't see the same things from the past

I can't tell you exactly what the market will look like in the near term, whether a bull market has ended or a bear market has begun. But I can assure you, this is a good time to build your portfolio with crypto. Don't hesitate to join as soon as possible because the market is still young we will be the market leader. Crypto is gradually becoming a new trend in the world.

What do I think?

There is a dump and pump that happens in the market and it never has the chance to stop this. Nor, I was to think that history repeats itself as the market has been hugely changing its momentum from time to time. In fact, we can obviously see it by now. Perhaps, it wasn't a big deal for me if ever the market will dump too bad like 2018, I'm afraid that people will get crazy and rushing the market to buy more. If that going to happen, then recovery will get too fast as I can imagine.

I am not sure that now is the best time to start buying. I would rather you accumulated stable coins and maybe got rid of some risky altcoins (if you have them) and waited for a bigger dip. It is said among traders that we shouldn’t catch a falling knife. It means that it is better to wait for a full dip and rebound. So I think you should wait a bit and then start building your crypto portfolio.

This market is very volatile and unpredictable so even such a fall like it was in 2018 is possible. But on the other hand, there was no bad news, there is still a hype around NFT-gaming and NFT-projects, so people don’t leave this market now. So the decrease that we see now is caused just by overheating so maybe it will not be so protracted.

Always have and always will be.
It's still in its early stage in my opinion. There's so much room for improvement and adoption is just starting. It may look slow but the important thing is, its there.
No, I don't think so. News about cryptocurrencies had been coming out one after another and with investors' numbers going up I don't think the value of top cryptocurrencies will decline just like what happened in 2017-2018. Although, you should always be ready for unexpected events.

It's not the best time historically to buy into crypto but a good strategy is to buy a small amount each month and buy in gradually. If you see a large dip, buy in then too. You can't real time the market, you need time in the market.

There will always be a bear market sooner or later. The best way to avoid losing money in a bear market is to stake cryptos like Ethereum, Celo, and NEAR or to farm somewhere like Ref Finance or Pancakeswap. I'm getting great returns on Ref Finance right now because not many people know about it yet.

In this market condition right now, it's best to build your own portfolio wherein the dip market is on going. You can have best deals in the market right now and soon the profit is imminent for long term goal. Crypto investment is taking risk that's why it's still advisable to DYOR always and just invest what you can afford to lose.

Now is a still good time to be in a crypto indeed. We're still pretty early here. A lot of things are awaits and a lot of ATHs to hit. BTC went up through the years and no doubt that it's gonna go up further.

You should build your portfolio right away when you have funds to buy there are coins worth holding now even if we are in a bull run, the market has full of uncertainty we really never know when the bear or the bull market starts, buy the coin because of their potential whether we are in a bull or bear trend and always invest what you can afford to lose.

For question number 1 I will try to answer it, first understand what the key factors are in Building a Cryptocurrency Portfolio, both long-term and short-term, some of which are Market Capitalization, Utilities Daily Volume (USD) and Transactions, Continuous Development, and Market News and Sentiment and the fact now that the majority of crypto traders and investors' mindsets have been formed if Bitcoin falls = other cryptos fall.

Second, In my opinion, there are many analytical theories that state that. In the world of the money market, nothing is 100% certain and one more negative market sentiment and media have their own influence, for example, https://prnt.sc/1rx396b FUD in the past is similar to bitcoin FUD now.

I am sure that in the future the prices of top cryptocurrencies will certainly be even higher than now, but now not everyone will be able to invest in many top cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, since not a lot of people now have 45k$, and in general, you can still invest in top cryptocurrencies now for a long term, since in a couple of years the prices of top cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum will be much higher than at the moment, but about the bear market it is difficult to say when it will be and how long it will take and how this bear market will affect the cryptocurrency market, so for now we can only guess.

1. For most investors it's really important because usually a good crypto investors are splitting their investment into several coins and they have to build a portofolio to control their total assets so it will make they manage their investment easier
2. No one know this but for me personally it will, because this year hype is already over and as we can see from the history, every all time high in a year there will be no more all time high in the whole year. We will see new big bull run in years ahead and it's the best time to invest.

Pump and dump give us chance how to get it buy back and sell after pump, maybe many investor keep holding their assets although raise much profit, they keep mind will have new all time high again and never sell coin. I think is big mistake made by many investor, always have moment for bitcoin and altcoin with pump and dump, if get great chance when assets have higher price I think worth for selling, waiting when bitcoin dump to buy back. If you did like that you can take chance with every time to increase much profit and keep got daily or weekly profit with pump and dump for bitcoin and altcoin price moment.

1. Is this a good time to build crypto portfolio?

It's a good idea to build a portfolio opportunity from now on, why is that, because now is a good opportunity for us to build a very appropriate portfolio, because the market is cheap, the decline in crypto asset prices is currently extraordinary, this is the right time to rebuild the portfolio, buy at several kinds of coin prices so that we don't miss the cheapest prices, don't wait too long, because crypto can just go up again without prior notification

1. This year is still a good time to build a crypto portfolio. Although the many coins price is already hit the new ATH, you can buy many coins.
2. The bear market is hard to be the same as in 2018 because many investors already joined the crypto market and do not want to see their investment drops too deep.

Maybe the price can drop but not dropping so deep as the previous years. If the price is dropping too far, maybe that is just a pump and dump that always happens, but the price will be back to the current price.

If you want to invest in crypto, you need to make sure you analyze each coin so you do not buy the wrong coin.

if you used to read some news about the situation of the market after the bull run perhaps you know already that some experts really saying that the history of bearish will not repeat on this point. Whrein probably just mild or a correction.. So if i were you start to build your portfolio for the upcoming new trend of the market on this mid of the year.. Indeed winter is coming so expect there will be a maneuver without any sign just be ready mate.

I also think that we don't see a bear market like the one from 2018 and 2019 again with very low prices of almost every coin and a total market cap of below 200 Billion $, because that would mean that we would see a dump to only 1/10th of the current marketcap and i can not imagine any reason or event, that could trigger a dump like that. I do think though that it is possible that we go close to or even below 1 Trillion $ of total market cap again, but this would still mean that we would be above the highest market cap of the last bullrun of 2018. We also have to consider though that we now have many more crypto projects out there than back in 2018 so the total market cap is spread between many thousands of projects.

Yes it is a good time . Start by observing the market.
nope , i dont think btc will ever fall to 2000$ anymore, perhaps 20k range.
I will give you a good piece of advice tho.
When a currency such as bitcoin is falling / dipping then wait it out. Wait untill you see some real growth untill you invest. You might miss out on making a few quick %, but aswell you wont take the risk of dipping half your investment.

As for me, I could personally advise you to buy during this dip. It isn't late for you to build your own portfolio yet but you have to be skeptical in picking a coin because not all altcoins could recover during the dip. Top coins would be the best choice especially for those who have a strong foundation already.

In my opinion, the decline in crypto prices every year is not always at the same level, even I think the bear market is also not so dominant, due to the volatility of crypto prices which makes more and more investors adopt crypto, therefore I am very sure that the crypto market will  recover soon.

The same way crypto are gaining adoption on a dailies are the same way critics keeps spreading. But those who spread critics got no idea of how crypto helps both the individuals and communities.

1. To answer your first question, one of the best time to invest and build portfolio is now that the market has dip little.

2. I personally don't care if 2018 bear season repeat itself because I've learnt to understand the term "crypto" to my best understanding, I mean it surely would always get back up if/when it dips again.

The Crypto industry is growing day by day and new investors and projects increasing day by day, you can buy good and low price altcoins for your portfolio and you will see in the coming months the market will grow more.
The situation in 2017/2019 was different but now most of the institutions entered the crypto industry so the market will not crash again, I hope will grow more.

The best time to build a portfolio is when the market is dipping, but anytime when you have the fund is always a good idea, and on your second question, we cannot tell with certainty that the bear market will be dipping as what happens in 2018, market crash with bad news and go up if there are adoptions and good news, the market depends on what the news is bringing to the community, and how the investors react.

a crash in the crypto market could happen. even for this year. we won't know what the plans will be.
but as you said the number of institutions entering the crypto industry can make the market stronger. because they don't go in and then sell them when they make a profit. Most of the big people and institutions are targeting the benefits of crypto itself that can be implemented on their platform.
we are in market conditions that are clearly different from the past. but crashes, it could happen.

The bear market is the best time to be in. As for the top altcoins worth holding for the long term are ETH, LTC, ADA & XRP. My bags are now packed with these incredible coins.
I also acquired some of Stakenet's XSN along the way. I'm extra bullish on this one. With the amount of developments currently taking place on this project, I've got a feeling it will going to soar big time in the coming months.

I think you should build portfolio when market is dipping. If you have enough money then you can buy now some profitable and good volumes coin cz market is little dipping. I think This year December Altcoin price will be more increase. 2018 and 2021 crypto market and price huge different cz Crypto price increase day by day.I hope it will be continue 2021 and next year.

Yeah, It's true you never see like bear market in 2018!  If you want to invest here just wait for deep and when you find better entry than pick your favorite coin or token

It is obvious there are more billionaire in Cryptocurrency market unlike it was before.  Bitcoin may not be crazy low like it was in 2018/2019. And at the same time, we are gradually entering into bear market and bear market is the best time to build your portfolio with potential coin for the next circle of Bull market!

what to think?? my advice you don't have to wait for a bear market or a good one to make a trade. If you invest, invest now and leave it for months or even years because you will be able to see your portfolio multiply in the years to come.

Bear markets will indeed continue to occur, but not for now. Because the bullrun will continue in the next few months. Maybe we just need to be careful with market conditions like this. Losses in the crypto market are certain, but we must be able to turn them into profits. Please print your portfolio, but you have to remember that dumps are bound to happen. So you will not be careless in investing.

1. In building a portfolio there is no right time, but it is the readiness of each individual who knows when to enter, where if the crypto value has reached ATH, we are required to increase the existing capital before reaching ATH and be prepared to accept the risk if the crypto value weakens

2. For the bear market itself, I think, there is no similarity in 2018, where this year the movement is too fast but in recovering the price of bitcoin does not take too long to fall, it always rises within 2-3 days although slowly

1. You don't need expert advice here as building a crypto portfolio is always good. The challenge now is, what coins should be part of that list so test your research skills regarding that.

2. No one has a crystal ball to see the future. The answer probably is yes or no as everything is always possible to happen. The question is, is that really important to know? What matters here is, you are prepared for whatever happened.

You are right about that. The bear market this time is not going to be as low as the one we experienced in 2018 and 2019. If you check so far this year the price hasn’t gone as low as it was last year, it has maintained the $40,000 value for a long time now. The lowest it has been this year is $30,000 after it reached the all time high price. So if you’re planning to invest your money now would be a good time to start doing that, and the price has gone back to around $40,000. Now we’ll be looking forward to another increase.

The community keeps on growing, but I can’t tell you now that there is going to be another bull run. I have seen a lot of people predicting there will be another bull run  this year but I think it will only happen once which is what we have experienced already.

Need brave for investor and trader if want to be success in cryptocurrency, I see many trader or investor always doubt when try to entry with some potential coins have good chance with lower price, they are waiting when dip price coming again and miss most wonderful chance, few hours later price up and we know how much disappointed when not to entry when have lower price. I think you need really brave if want to be success in cryptocurrency and never worry when you entry with good price how ever if bitcoin back to higher price your assets altcoin will be more profitable.

Predicting the price is very hard so I would say that any time is a good time to build your own portfolio. Just choose temhe solid coins if you want a long term and other coins for short term.

For me it is always good time to invest every correction. The decline is another opportunity to buy the potential tokens. Buy low and wait for the market to increase and then sell. I observe that the market now are full of NFT games. Choosing the best among the rest would be good to invest the most promising token and have good return of profit.

The bear market is the best time to be in. As for the top altcoins worth holding for the long term are ETH, LTC, ADA & XRP. My bags are now packed with these incredible coins.
I also acquired some of Stakenet's XSN along the way. I'm extra bullish on this one. With the amount of developments currently taking place on this project, I've got a feeling it will going to soar big time in the coming months.

When the bull run was going on in 2017, many of us thought that maybe the market will not be so down. But our ideas have been proven wrong. So it is difficult to predict how low the bear market will be after this bull run. If you follow the right strategy, you can build up your crypto portfolio at any time.

I have noticed so far many new projects being developed from various existing ecosystems are getting more successful and improving, so I believe we are still in a safe market at the moment to start or hold investment assets, so we don't have to worry about the bearish trend and keep assets us for the long term

#1. It really depends. Do you have stable income right now? Keep in mind that we're still in the middle of pandemic, and there are many unemployed right now. If you don't have a stable job right now, don't think that crypto will be your "stable job". It is a nice icing in the cake but that's it.

#2. Well surely we're getting a lot of dips, but still too early to declare that it is bear market.

Well most of us cannot predict the market well so maybe we are mostly non-expert here. But starting to build a portfolio with this current market situation is never a bad idea but make sure you are into coins with high potentials so that once the market dumps, they will have all the chances to recover again.

And looking at the previous events in the market, i don't think we will have the same dip scenario from 2018 because crypto at that time was never really that popular and its adoption is still very slim but seeing the market now has improved a lot then maybe it will be very different now. Of course dips is still inevitable but the market won't really fall that dip as before.

In the short term it seems like a good time to build some portfolio in crypto as I am still optimistic this hype will happen again later this year.
if we look at the 4 year chart everything could have happened like 2018 but maybe the price fell not too deep and if that happened then build a portfolio on this momentum.

I don't think there's a stipulation on when to build a portfolio. if you really believe in crypto then every time is the right time to build a portfolio, it's just that if we have decided to build it then we also have to maximize it well so that the results are also maximized. bear market can happen at any time and we must be able to handle it well. certainly don't be afraid to try because if we have entered into it then all the risks that exist must also be accepted by us. there is no such thing as getting continuous wins, so we have to be able to react to it well.

yes you are right, at that time I never thought that the price would fall very deeply and at that time maybe I was a little late to get out but from past experience I have a lot of experience so I can build a better portfolio

I think, now is the best time to begin investing in crypto... again :)
I hope we will see a nice rally in October-December and maybe even further, in Winter.

if you look at historical benchmarks, then it should have happened no matter how many investors came in and out, but if it did happen as you said then history would change and its movements would be difficult to predict, so I still believe it's still on track.

Of course, coins that have good potential with a good level of confidence should be included in the portfolio despite current market conditions.
The market does not tell us that this year or next year the conditions will be good and that has been proven in 2017 and 2018, including 2021. All need rhythm as a strategy in trading.

i don't think the crypto market will go down like 2018. now the market is recovering and even though it's down but the price will still be higher than 2018. look at the market cap in 2021 it has a big increase.

The difference is very visible as you said if we look at the market capitalization this year is very much different and shows a sharp increase and is likely to happen like 2018 is impossible and difficult to happen again.

Instead, the forecast is that a bigger increase at the end of this year will occur and this will be much larger than 2017 ATH, because the difference between 2017 ATH and 2013 ATH is quite significant, so predictions above $100K can happen or not. impossible.

Is it a good time? Yes and I think that it is nearly always a good time to invest into a credible cryptocurrency. But I'm saying this considering you are thinking of making a long-term investment. Let's say that you invested into top coins like Ethereum, BNB etc.. You can make a really decent profit in the long run. However you should be patient as you would need a long time period. When it comes to dip price in 2018, I don't think that the price will go down to that low levels from now on. But it is your choice to wait or take an action in the end.

Exactly.Even if we see a dip it is not going to be as big as 2018 and most probably it won't happen at all because we are waiting for that 100.000 dollars price for a Bitcoin and of course when Bitcoin reaches 100.000 surely the altcoins will be higher to reflect the new correlation between them.I am waiting for a 8000 dollars Ethereum price in December 2021 to February 2022 and I think if we don't hit 8000 then 5000 it is almost a sure thing.I don't think about a dip at all for the moment,I am waiting for history to repeat itself,end of 2013 big price increase after first halving in 2012,end of 2017 big price increase after halving in 2016 and hopefully we see a big price increase in end of 2021 when last halving happened in mid 2020.

Of course we don't expect that to happen again and if we look at 2018 the market really went down badly,
it was a nightmare and looking at the current market conditions I'm sure it won't go down as badly as in 2018,
what is certain for now is to monitor market developments

I just recently read an article about how crypto investors can effectively manage their crypto portfolio in 2021. It is quite obvious that the popularity of cryptocurrencies is growing rapidly.

Actually, you will always have a good time building your own portfolio as long as you know the right coins to buy. Sometimes, there are many coins that are likely legit, but in fact, they are only hype and will only utilize pump and dump. I think that building a portfolio in this kind of market will be better to start with top coins, that have good and strong fundamentals and also don't reach their ATH yet. It may still have a chance later.
But, once more, DYOR, none will guarantee.

There will be always a cycle where a bullish and bearish market will be changing due to a certain period of years. And every period has its own dip price at the breakout.
For later bearish, hopefully, there will be not as dip as in 2018. And if seen from the highest rate of Bitcoin so far, it should not be as dip as in 2018.

If you want to build, its a good time before another pumps come. Search project that able you to stake and earn more coins while u keep building your portfolio, it will adss more value to your portfolio from that earning.
My suggestion is do farming on Pancakeswap or Apeswap, search only project that you trust. When staking, u also have opportunity to compounds it for adds more earning percentage.

We wont know either it will go dipping or pumping in the future, my advice is keep accumulated, its like stock market, which long-term investor usually won profit at the ends of the day.

The bolded one will something have to implies that prices may not be going dipper again just like before. As the market pushing to its adoption, that was clear enough to see those huge corrections haven't a thing to experience this time but instead, we are able to expect a market rally.

Well, some people will think about "history repeats itself", maybe in other places but in this kind of market that is impossible. I was too optimistic for the incoming, though corrections still exist, ain't a thing to worried about as the market will surely recover once done.

I still believe that it will repeat its history but I think the 2018 bear market was already done just these past few months. Yes, that quick and that's likely the bear market that usually we need to come for the market to be bullish again. But it could also not happen again because it's already different this time and whoever is interested in investing, don't wait until you see another bull season again.

1.  Anytime could always be the best time as long you do know on what projects you do see that has potential in long term aspect.

2. Nothing is assured and we cant really just ignore the possibilities of crashes and dumps.

Adoption is on the move but doesnt mean that we wont be experiencing those dumps.This is why you should be wise on when to take profits and when to get in.

Everyone who has experienced what happened in 2018, would not want it to happen again. But no one can guarantee that the events of 2018 will not
happen again, because as we all know the crypto market is very volatile. So anything can happen, we really have to be vigilant when deciding to invest
in crypto and continue to monitor market developments. But if we look at the top crypto performance which still looks bullish, I am optimistic that
the events of 2018 will not be repeated this year. Moreover, more and more institutions are starting to invest long-term in crypto, this is a sign that
crypto has experienced a very drastic development. So now is the right time if we want to start building a crypto portfolio.

I don't feel that we're going towards 2018/2019 levels value shrewd, however maybe we may even see drops with a similar gravity rate savvy. In the wake of moving beyond a specific level, I accept that Bitcoin cost will not go down that amount except if the vast majority quit requesting it individually. Request is an extremely emotional factor in this.

Well I guess this is a good time to build your crypto portfolio just make sure it's a good project that worth to invest, not just pump and dump coins better to research the project first. Currently the market is in good condition I don't think this year will experience a big dip just like the year 2018 maybe it will increase in this ber months in my opinion.

With my personal experience I am pretty sure of one thing in the crypto: there is no right or wrong time to enter into crypto space. You will always see peeps arguing that I wish I had invested back then and this conversation is going on since decade now. So imagine you asking the same question today and if you do not enter today you will be asking the same question decade after this. Believe me crypto investment is full of surprises and there is no limit on how much you can put in and how much you can grab from it.

The only thing you need to take care is, what kinda investment you are making? Whether you are going to trade, stake, hodl, gamble etc. you need to be sure of the plans, and targets.

- the portfolio that you build at least has strong fundamentals, don't be easily attracted by what the developer has to offer sometimes it doesn't match reality.

- the crypto market is unpredictable but what I know for now is that most people understand before investing. unlike 2018 which only invests blindly. for now investors have more mature knowledge about crypto.

Of course this is a great time to build a portfolio. we don't know when the price of the crypto we hold will rise, so we better prepare for that before the price goes up. because it would be very irrelevant if we try to build a portfolio when the price of crypto is rising high.
no one knows about the future price situation, but we need to be prepared for all eventualities. however, I believe that prices will pump at the end of this year, and it will be a different year than 2018. even now the situation is very much different.

I think it's a bad idea to build crypto portfolio when there is good pump in the market, a friend of mine is already at loss here and all I can tell him is to have patience, he bought BTC at 65000$, ETH at 4000+ too, I did warn him to always buy when there is dip but he thought BTC is going 100k as many predicted, now he may have to hold for long term

Due to the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies, with the experience in 2018 today many people are more careful before deciding to invest. Therefore, we can see the panic sell event this time as a healthy correction from investors, so dumps like 2018 do not occur at this time, although yesterday there was a correction, but it is still within normal limits.

It's true, of course, if you look back, precisely in 2018, market conditions really went down badly,
many people have suffered considerable losses, therefore now many have also learned from previous experiences,
The important thing is to just keep up with the developments

This is apparent that many people from different nations are already investing in blockchain, which is undoubtedly beneficial to the cryptocurrency's sustenance and development, since new buyers who embrace bitcoin are more ready to spend in high-quality coins, particularly Bitcoin.

Whenever is the time for permutation and combination, you may only look at price fluctuations or trends in the previous time period, but also look at future market trends. Otherwise, in a few years you will regret that you are just waiting and watching now. Now that more and more people have noticed cryptocurrency, I don't think the price of cryptocurrency will become lower and lower in the future. I will wait for the opportunity and don't want to miss any opportunities.

I am new in Bitcointalk thread, but I know few about Crypto. I think if anybody wants to buy any coin for long-term then he/she can buy in parts at every dip. For short term it is risky to Invest. Because today market is full green.

1. Anytime is always time to build a crypto portfolio but the best time is when the market is going down by huge percentages every single day. March 2020, Start of 2018, Bitcoin @$30,000 this year. These are just 3 of the times that investor have the time to buy crypto at a discounted price but unfortunately, most of them are afraid to buy because they believe that it will go down even further. Those brave ones who bought Bitcoin at that time are the ones who are happy right now.

2. Many speculated that it will happen but I don't think that it will happen. We've seen Bitcoin went to $30,000 months ago and many thought including me that it will touch the $20,000 price but it didn't happen. I don't think so that it will happen again although there is still a chance.

The cryptocurrency market has recently begun to develop actively. This is evidenced, among other things, by the number of new people who came to it to succeed. And the appearance of new people is always new ideas and projects that can really qualitatively improve the situation of cryptocurrencies. Most likely, this positive trend will continue in the future.

This recent market dip helped to acquire an abundant of promising gems for my portfolio. But my favorite one is a sleeping giant called #Stakenet #XSN. This coin's fundamental and its innovative technology provides a potential to soar to the top and be the most exceptional in the cryptoverse. https://stakenet.io

1. Yes, this is the perfect time to build your own crypto portfolio, and pick some of the top 10 coins from CMC.
2. Even if the bear market is not as big as in 2018,I don't think it will be down by around 20%.

Yes, I think so, seeing the global enthusiasm this year in the world of cryptocurrencies will make the market not the same as it was in 2018.

It is very difficult for one coin to become the next bitcoin or ETH. Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only coins in the cryptocurrency market and no one can replace them. Among the coins chasing ETH I think XLM is a very good coin, it has a strong development team and it is trusted by many projects.

For me anytime is the best time to invest in crypto especially in bitcoin but of course it is and always advisable to do it while the market price is in corrections. Actually we are not so sure that a massive price dropped happened on crypto space way back year 2018 couldn't happen again, there is no assurance to that but one thing I am sure, a crypto is a volatile and anything could happen, maybe the history may repeat itself but investors today are well organize how to deal with the price correction and it become a healthy balance to the economy of the crypto.

Right or not depends on each of us. For me, this is the right time to build a portfolio. It's a good opportunity to buy coins now, especially coins that have a good future in the market. If investors continue to increase from day to day, then the market opportunity will be good again through conditions like 2018 will occur.

IMO the perfect time to build a crypto portfolio is during a correction because in this moment majority of coins are declining, it means a timing to accumulate. Though you can build a portfolio at anytime you want as long as you have the budget to fill your bags.

The situation before is different from what is happening now. Crypto market survived the covid crisis and even return bullish thats why most coins reached their new ath. Crypto is more popular now and gain more users thus even the market might plunged, it wont be as bad as year 2018.

People do not see "discounted price" they see a dropped price and they get scared. Unfortunately there are way too many people who are afraid of investing into something that is a very rare situation and all because at the end of the day we are talking about something that is hard to do. Just keeping calm when everything went down 50% is not simple, you can't just keep calm, I mean maybe you and I can because I have seen this happen a thousand times so I am fine, but I do understand others who are newer to crypto world.

This is why I honestly believe that we should be not judging people who are failing at keeping calm when it goes down and start buying. Plus there are automatic situations as well, stop losses, leverage liquidating and many other stuff that end up dropping the price of it as well. Which is why I honestly believe that there is a good chance we could see it drop.

In establish a strong inventory, I believe that it doesn't care if that's a nice scene or a poor time as long as you're willing to examine and engage with genuine ideas for the present. I believe that the crypto sector is expanding each day, and that acceptance is increasing in several nations. Nevertheless, they need not forecast a selloff

yesterday's correction is indeed an opportunity to buy coins that we have analyzed and have potential, especially for trusted coins, on the other hand we can set aside a little money to buy coins in new projects, thus providing an opportunity to earn more profit, but still the main investment in major coin

Any investor, even the weakest investor in investing, will tell you.
Any movement in the market is a wave going up, down, up, up, down, down. And there is no such thing as an endless uptrend, this is a term coined by scam brokers. I am sure that soon there will be a correction at what level I will not say, but I think it will be very unpleasant for raising a large amount of money and psychological pressure on the masses.

If we notice that the development of the crypto world is quite drastic, it is not only that many people are starting to join to invest in cryptocurrencies.
But there are also many new projects that keep popping up, even more and more countries are legalizing cryptocurrencies, this is a pretty
massive development. I hope that this positive trend will continue, so that in the future cryptocurrencies are increasingly recognized by many people.
If the future of crypto gets brighter, I believe that human economic life will also improve, I believe that crypto can help the world economy.

to be honest you are too narrow-minded. in the crypto market, it is not only people who hope for a profit. This is related to the development of bitcoin for the future. trust to create the digital finance of the future. most believe that bitcoin will be the solution for better world finance.
at this time there may still be many who only have bitcoin as their valuable asset. but in the future, a payment transaction with bitcoin in the real world will be very fun.

I don't think it's a problem for you to build a crypto portfolio because this has happened in many world banks, and I don't think the crypto market will fall as it did in 2018, because many countries have legalized crypto as a legal currency for trading and many also trading companies that allow consumers to pay for their goods with these crypto coins, but digital currencies have high volatility and change every second so investors should always monitor them.

it's never too late to plan something!, if you want to build your crypto portfolio now is the right time in my opinion.
The last few months we have seen very big developments in the crypto industry, I think for the coming years Crypto will be more and more favored by many people so that it will have a greater increase and will not return to the way it was in 2018.

When I look at the market developments, it must be a good time to build a crypto portfolio because almost all coins are in a downturn in price including the top coins.
No one can predict for sure whether it will be like 2018. In 2021, the crypto market is very varied. It's hard to guess with various analyses.

In my opinion, the current trend of the major cryptocurrencies in the market right now, is that the bear market this year will not be as bad and certainly will not emulate that of 2018. The consensus of the many investors and many traders right now is that cryptocurrencies will experience a good stable price range for the rest of the year and will have good price increase for the next years. Be cool because the best days are yet to come.

I'm not a crypto expert, but here I also learn and get information to choose my new portfolio.
If I look at the current market situation, of course the trend is still good, you can see BTv is priced at $48k in september 2021 and if you compare it to 2018, then you can see the current BTC price is under $10k. whether the current situation is the same as in 2018, of course not friends, Bitcoin's current market capitalization is bigger than 2018.

May I try to give an opinion on the question
1. In my opinion there is always an opportunity to build a crypto portfolio in the world of money market now or later;

2. If I'm not mistaken, Now Bitcoin is in the MA confusion zone of the range of MA 30 to 50. If bitcoin manages to break above the 200 MA, it means a golden cross. But if Bitcoin fails to survive and falls below the 200 MA, there will be another decline.

The point is if bitcoin could go back above $50,000 again and MA 50 jump above MA 200 it would be a euphoric market.

Conditions like 2018 will never happen again in the crypto space because now so many new and big investors have entered the crypto space and coupled with several companies who already believe in Bitcoin, so in general the condition of the crypto space is better than 2018.

point 1 : you can build a portfolio at any time according to your wishes and your analysis.
point 2 : I don't think crypto can imitate 2018, because now the crypto market is on the rise. so even though crypto has decreased the price is still high from 2018.

There are so many projects going on these days. When it comes to buying coins in new projects, you need to find some real ones. Having the ability to interpret charts will truly liberate you and empower you to make your own decisions without relying on others' opinions. Are there risks associated with BTC, ETH, BNB or other major coins? No, of course not. Apart from bitcoin, any project has higher risks. Fact. At the moment, I feel safest with bitcoin and ethereum.

the current situation is very much different from 2018, for now the digital currency conditions continue to compete and are getting better in the market, and I think this is a good time to build your crypto portfolio. for the survival and growth of cryptocurrencies continue to be pursued with the presence of many investors from all over the world so that it will have a good impact for years to come

Yes. I think the question is a bit late from the work you have to do. Because 2021 is the year of crypto that was predicted two years earlier. If you print your current crypto asset portfolio, then you still have a great opportunity to make a profit. I think this year's bull run is not over yet, there will be a higher price increase than the current price. But on the investor's note, the estimated Bitcoin price this year is $50k, but the ATH this year is $64k+. That is, ATH exceeds the target that has been set.

No. Although crypto price fluctuations are a sure thing, this year's bear market will run normally. And crypto prices will be well controlled because many companies are already implementing blockchain systems. No massive dumping in this bull run.

Actually there is no right word if you want to put all your portfolio. This is quite the right time, especially yesterday's price correction, it shows your opportunity to start investing where the price is much lower than before. But this decline can not be equated with the largest decline at that time .

I think there is no bad time to build a crypto porfloio. What's stopping you?
Now the market is in stagnation, everything has fallen in price, it is possible that it will fall even more, but many coins fell by 30-50% from previous positions, and by 40-60 from ATX. This means that you can easily make money from the current ones.

You should never postpone the decision to create a crypto portfolio. Now the market is showing a significant decline, and this is a good time to make a well-considered investment decision quietly.

Can't agree more, postponing the decision to begin with crypto can be a bad call! I say can be a bad call because maybe now is the dip we are all waiting for, and maybe the price will not go lower! But if someone thinks it will go lower then wait your perfect moment to get into crypto! I guess all this is not even necessary if someone plans to get in the long run with crypto, buying now and whenever price drops is a good strategy for securing a future!
I strongly believe it's far from late to join the crypto revolution, but the profit you can make will differ from the time you entered, earlier or later!

1. not good as before when the time where top cryptos are valued at a cent but you should start now . dont wait till the cryptos grow evenly  .
2.  are you planning to wait for it before you invest ? but what if it will not occur anymore or it will take a long time for it to occur ? your only going to waste time but if you invest now , this is more surer that you can earn something once we get back in the bull phase .

I think if your only mindset is buying high and selling low instead of long term hodling, then you might lose a lot of money by double guessing yourself and squandering your profits during crashes. Here is what I think: If you find several good investment-worthy coins, you divide your eggs and put them in your lucky baskets. Leave them for a few years and don't let the price influence your decision making.

Don't let the price shake you, and likewise, better to find good quality asset and leave it for some time, the market have cycles and
if you managed to let them passed it will help you to maximize your profits.
It's hard though but if you did your homework by dealing with your research everything is managable, it's up to your good judgement
to pick the right coin for both long and short term investment.

I don't think it's possible that we should see the same level of decline as in 2018, we need a record price decline that we haven't seen so far. Bitcoin is a very volatile cryptocurrency but I didn't expect much. I believe that the price of Bitcoin won't drop that much unless most people stop demanding it individually, so I think if you invest now and leave then you could see your portfolio 50x or more of this in the years to come.

First and foremost, to build a crypto portfolio might not really have a season or time, although bear market gives more better chances to start cheap. However, you can still take your time to lookout for those low cap coins with good use case and every other thing, keep them in your tabs and wait for a better time to buy; one thing that is certain is, don't chase after a moving coin however be patient with it and you will get a good entry. To add to this, most people might prefer to wait till bear market to buy, and when it comes they will keep waiting while thinking the market will dump more and at the end are left out.
Lastly, bear market like that of 2018 will be hard to come by or experienced, my reason is, the level of adoption today with that of 2018 is quite different and the gap between them is huge, nowadays we keep hearing of many organisations and platforms adopting crypto, we keep seeing many innovations taking place, all these points to a growing market and a growing market like crypto will have it ups and downs but won't get bad like that of previous years.

There is an adage that says, the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago and the second best time is now. likewise, now is always a good time to build a good portfolio.

As regards the bear market, nobody can really predict the market, so it is best to eangage the market with caution and only invest what you are willing to lose.

I have no thoughts at the moment because I have nothing to do but endure and wait for a long time. The amount of losses I have suffered may take some time for the market to recover. So waiting and patience is my only concern.

I will answer according to my analysis of the current market

1. Yes, this is the right time to enter a bear market because you can buy coins at low prices

2. Pumps and dumps are crypto works in the crypto world, compared to 2018 of course, historically different levels and algorithms might happen but we never know what will happen next in the crypto market so don't be afraid to try

1.You and all those who have not yet invested in crypto still have the opportunity to build a portfolio. Crypto is a long-term investment market and it's never too late for anyone. crypto-friendly and suitable for all walks of life. Build yourself an investment portfolio right now.
2.There must be volatility in the market, that is the nature of investing. So it's hard to answer that, there is a decrease, there is an increase.

1. of course. whenever you are ready with the risks that exist in the crypto world, then now, or anytime will be the right time to create a portfolio, especially now that the price is falling, so you can have it in large quantities.

2. no one will ever know about it. for now, the development of cryptocurrencies is very different from 2018. IMO, we are currently not going to get a crash like 2018. even if it does go down, it will not be far from the current price. Yeah, but that's just an opinion, you need to make your own decision.

Yes it is, you might think the price is really high. But still the hype is not over and you could get decent amount of profit if you choose your coins wisely.
From NFTs, staking, IEO and any similar investment you could use to maximize your potential profit.

Don't think so, at least for this year. The hype has been exist since 9 month ago and still going until today. So, it's better than what we had in 2018.
Still, there is a chance that the crash could happen unexpected. So invest with caution.

The Crypto industry is growing day by day and new investors and projects increasing day by day, you can buy good and low price altcoins for your portfolio and you will see in the coming months the market will grow more.
The situation in 2017-2020 was different but now most of the institutions entered the crypto industry so the market will not crash again, I hope will grow more.and buy 1pool token for futures

The wisest strategy is always conduct your own research to inform yourself about the coin's history, use case, project affiliations, listings, core team, and its community.
ETH, ADA, BNB & LTC are among the few that I can recommend. These are well-established coins that have been around in the crypto business for several years already. You might also want to check this promising gem I'm holding right now called Stakenet XSN. It got impressive technology, use case and white paper. Definitely a valuable addition to your portfolio.

In recent years, Bitcoin is receiving great attention from the Vietnamese market and the world. The Bitcoin community is always seething with the problems that Bitcoin is facing. Both positive and negative, but in general, all reviews and views help contribute to making Bitcoin develop into a popular cryptocurrency in the future. Although currently cryptocurrencies in Vietnam still have certain barriers. But in the near future, the market is more and more open, hopefully the cryptocurrency playground will become more secure and popular.

There is no good or bad time to build your portfolio because the market would never look favorable at any point even in the dip many wouldn't still afford to buy. Many exclaims that taking advantage of the dip is a good approach towards building a strong portfolio but what if there are no funds at that point you will still miss out on opportunity so it's better you invest now have a target profit get paid when achieved and then you can wait to take advantage of the dip if it ever comes again

-In my opinion, crypto could be ATH by the end of this year so to build a portfolio at this time is still very feasible if you want.
-A bear market can happen like 2018 after ATH will take effect if this year Crypto experiences ATH, the possibility of a correction market can occur next year.

I think everytime dip is a good point to entry, because you never know what happen next.
But dont make only a single point for entrying the market, left some fund to make another entry if the dip comes, or using it to try catch the wave if pump comes.

Using all the funds on a few good coins is also not a wrong strategy, because many disappointed people are more waiting for a correction when the market starts to pump, even though it is an opportunity to make a profit before the correction arrives back into the market, so it's too long to wait too not good when the market is improving.

We all hope for a long bearish trend, but it will end and then all coins will go down, only the strongest will hold. Just look how TOP 100 of coins has changed, where are all Monero and other Dash? No one needs them, new ideas are popping up now. Graph, Solana, DOT, etc. portfolio must consist of new projects, but you have to keep part of it in USDT and BTC - naked chips.

If you sort all those coins and you are convinced that it's the best assets to invest your money, it's not bad to put your investment on it, the kind of trust to the projects will allow you to enjoy your profits when the market start to pump back.

Don't be afraid, as long as you are doing your homework and you did well doing your research, the outcome will favor
you most of the time.

Be furious and never to put your hands down, that's the surest thing to do when dealing with crypto.

My answer to this question is:
1. any time is the right time for you to invest in the project no need to choose any time because you can always invest at a lower price than you and wait for the right time to open for sale.
2. Bear market will happen all the time we cannot speculate and avoid, risk is something you have to accept in this volatile market.

It's going to be a bad news for all those waiting for crypto market to crash hard like 2018 so they can buy many top coins and wait for next bitcoin halving, the sad truth is crypto have leave that weak hands behind the next bear market isn't going to be like what we've seen in the past anymore, all eye are on crypto now even more than stock market

Actually September is perfect for building our crypto portfolio because at that time almost all coins experienced a decline in price including good coins ranging from Ethereum, Binance and other coins. If at this time it is no longer suitable because the price of coins has started to increase in price. If you have a lot of capital, for this month you can still do it but I don't recommend it.

1. Personally, I think that cryptocurrency is very strongly embedded in everyday life and requires special attention. And it is never too late to create a crypto portfolio, as the world of cryptocurrencies is in a state of immense development. And many investors prefer to invest in the most current cryptocurrency.

2. Personally, I can never predict what will happen in a bear market. So for a more detailed forecast, you need to be an expert in this area. So the forecast can be anything and the price will either fall or rise. We just have to watch the market and if we are lucky we can predict and get a positive result.

The cryptocurrency market is now very different from the cryptocurrency market in the past so that a big correction in the long term will not happen again and if someone waits for it, then the time will be wasted because other people always take advantage of the time to continue to look for profits under various conditions.

I believe that it is not too late to study cryptocurrency and in particular all its advantages. If you just want to buy bitcoin so that later it will sell at a higher price then this is also a good plan. I believe that you should not buy other coins since it is far from the fact that they will have a higher value after a while. The main thing is to figure out what you want to buy and do not do it simply because they advise you so on the Internet.

yes of course still good time to build a crypto portfolio just find a good project that has use cases of a coin or better to pick in the top coins because they can still increasing in the future. Bearish market will still happenings but in this year I don't think bear market will occur, I feel positive this year.   

Very good advice, my friend, but it will be more complete if everyone who wants to learn about cryptocurrency wants to learn about it in all things and stages including the drawbacks so that they can better understand the risks, because if you only learn about the advantages, then the things you need to know there was a high risk of being forgotten that he would cry when destruction came upon him.

Investing is something that you alone should decide, never to participate with this kind of business just because someone told you.

You only leading your money a big risk if you are just following someone's advise, what is best for your
investment is to do your research and sort all the project, rinse well and pick the right asset that you believe
will perform after delivering the promise usages.

Good hint to buy solid coins from the top list, those projects already have community trust.

I think the price of bitcoin will go up more than that because I went to catch a few days ago what the price of bitcoin was two years ago and what has happened now. I hope the price of bitcoin will be higher than it is two years from now.

Not just September even when it's a bear market or a bull market, it's a great time to build a portfolio. When it's a bear market, sometimes people take advantage of the bounce from falling prices, or they believe that the price of the coin will rise again because the developments never stop. people also sometimes take advantage of the bull market to get short profits, or think that the rise is the start of higher prices. whenever it will be the right time, what needs to be prepared is the mentality of someone who will enter the crypto world, because it is a high-risk world.

I don't think we will get as low as that cause the world is already developed and many countries is now accepting crypto currencies as a means of payment so the marketcap of BTC currently can't be compared to as 2018 much more people are into crypto already I don't just see bitcoin going as low as $5k again

When the market conditions that make almost all coins experience an increase in price like this month, I think it's still right if you want to build a crypto portfolio. However, it would be a very good move if in September or last month we started to build a crypto portfolio because the profit ratio is greater compared to the market conditions which have improved and this is also the beginning of the month, so to build is still good.

Drawdown that we saw several days ago was caused just by new Chinese restrictions, but as we see, market copes with them easily every time (chinese government have attacked crypto for 20 times). While there are no other serious bad news, I don't think that it will be a new bear market, so news is a decisive thing in this market. According to one very experienced trader, we are to expect continued growth so far.

1. Almost every single day is indeed a good time to build crypto portfolio, yes there will be always a risk but it's so low than the previous years. Build now while you can and enjoy the profit later rather than just thinking when. Time is money my friend!

2. I don't think that the market would dip that much just like in 2018. Given that the price is extremly volatile, still it can't be as lower than $3,000 - $4,000. I think that dip was caused by the negative remarks of some big investors and also by China's banning on btc.

If you need my short answer then i believe that it is still not too late to form your crypto portfolio. Before deciding to buy an asset you should find out about the project that you want to buy otherwise you may get losses.

Crypto development is currently growing very rapidly, and is able to develop well.
1.at this time if you want to build a crypto portfolio because crypto is always growing and always growing new coins that are potential and suitable for investment use.
2. Bearish is natural, a good investment will definitely be bullish and bearish because this is normal for asset development in the crypto world.
The decline that occurred in 2018 might happen but the possibility is very small considering that currently many people understand crypto and it is not easy
provoked by bad news.
if you want to invest in the crypto world, you should choose a coin that is in the top 10 on coinmarketcap
because it is a superior coin that already has a large market cap and a strong community.

The first
As far as I know, building the right portfolio doesn't have to wait for the right time, because the opportunity for portfolio revival doesn't have to wait for time because every time you create a portfolio you have to work hard in building the project.
And the second
This is the time to take the right decision and the bear market will rise higher in the masses to come as we analyze in late 2021 BTC could reach 1 billion rupiah per BTC

To make it easy:

1. Yes
2. No

I think it's a good time to buy crypto currencies at the moment because inflation is rising and I don't want to be stuck on fiat money without getting any return. The problem is that saving money at the bank doesn't work anymore. Inflation and Bank fees will slowly eat away all the value of our saving account. Same goes for bonds, the low interest rates doesn't make it attractive anymore to buy them.  The only option to escape inflation is to invest in stocks, funds or cryptos. I don't want to make investment managers rich, so I don't buy funds. And stocks is already part of my retirement fund. To diversify money the only real option is to keep buying crypto currencies in my opinion.

If someone is lazy in researching new projects, then just choose projects that are already popular like ETH, BNB, Solana and Cardano, because even though they are still risky, the security side is still very strong when compared to others.

1. Yes, you can start now if you are ready with your decision, capital, and good analytical science.

2. It won't happen, the difference between 2018 and now is. This year very many famous people and giant companies began researching cryptocurrencies. In 2018 we are only introduced to the hardfork and sergwit trends. Now we have many trends, DeFi, AMM Exchange, NFT, payments, dapps and many more.

2018 been a testing period wherein we can know whether the projects who became successful in ICO will be able to make their projects work, unfortunately many projects that time lose their value and some do exit scam. Investors were wiser now that’s why many platforms and ideas evolve to ensuring that crypto projects will have enough resources or capability to make their project works. Investing anytime is better as long as we know what investment we are putting and the market is able to recover due to institutional companies who are investing in crypto nowadays.

For me the best time to build up my crypto-portfolio is whenever I see that we are in the correction and retracement because for me its the best time to buy and accumulate crypto-hodlings. For the second question, I guess that the 2018 bearish cycle will no longer be happening very soon knowing that mass adaptation of cryptocurrencies is happening as of this time.

The first answer For me to Build a crypto portfolio is a personal decision that depends on investment objectives, risk tolerance and knowledge of the market Do your own research and invest wisely. Henceforth it may be a bit difficult to predict the future of the crypto market with certainty, but it is always prudent to prepare for volatility by staying informed, investment diversification and HODL for the long term may be preferable.

Bear market will not be like the past history as crypto is getting popular day by day and investors are increasing. So we can say bear market is the best time to build portfolio and also it will not go too dip like 2018 if we don't face any bad news.

Building a crypto portfolio is always a good time. Taking risk on investment should take place when you are properly equipped of a lot of knowledge in crypto currency. If you are confident enough in making new investment then that is the time you can build up your portfolio. Everyone who are in investing experienced a trial and error stage, that should be anticipated by any investor because of it's volatility. 

If the bear market could be dipping same as 2018 it will be an advantage to all investors because they could buy at a lower price. But unfortunately no one can really tell the status of the market if it is bullish or bearish. The market is so tricky to all investors. Just to be safe keep your investment for a long term for a better profit.

bear market of the recent unfortunately just like in the past it was rather massive mainly because there are collapse of many exchange companies and also so many failing investments.
but it just opens up opportunity for accumulation so certainly it helps for new investor to start and make entry.

We are so close dude. But to keep it safe. Try to wait for the next bitcoin halving. After that I will try to get ALL-in in crypto. There might have another bear season before the halving.
Note: This is not a financial advice.

Yes. Subsequent Bitcoin halvings may be a good strategy for minimizing risk, as such events have historically been followed by periods of price appreciation. I like these words "We are so close dude" but I think right now there are no perfect moments in crypto, It's like trying to time the perfect wave on the beach that you can never catch.

Well, the best time was the period where it was below $20k (BTC). But it’s still looking pretty damn good before the next halving. But you need to remember to invest only on top coins. Don't go chasing new shitcoins. You'll get burned.

we can see that currently bitcoin is still moving in one area, and the price is still below $ 30k, that means for me the price is still worth investing in, and worrying that the price will fall again is humane, but to anticipate that, we must have a purchasing plan in advance gradually, so that if there is a crash again we can buy it again, or even we buy it for now and let it go, later it will also go up by itself, as long as we can be patient in waiting for it

Investing in a new shitcoin I think it's just a waste of time and it's a shame for sure,
for now the price movement of Bitcoin is still unstable so take this opportunity to buy,
investing in Bitcoin will be profitable and safer.

no one can predict the crypto world, maybe history will repeat itself like in 2018, or even the market will make new history with a very high ATH, we never know, but what is certain is that the crypto world continues to change with the times and crypto is getting better. widely known by the public, this is a positive impact

Right on, I came to say this. We can't time or predict the market, only insiders, exchanges, and whales can do that. Oh, and regulators. The best we can do is stake it till we make it: NEAR, Internet Computer, Q Blockchain, Polygon all have good staking rewards.

the bear market this time is not as bad as in 2018, this happens because there are already many smart investors, on the other hand the trust in bitcoin is getting higher and the adoption of bitcoin is also getting higher, therefore the excessive panic in the bear season this time is not as bad as in 2018, so when bitcoin crashed, more and more investors saw it as an opportunity to start investing, or buy back to wait until the bull season comes. and of course the next bullish season will be even busier because it will increase the confidence of new investors in cryptocurrencies

The effects weren't up to the 2018 or so but I know is serious though. Naturally we always think of utilizing every given opportunities but without having a rethink of what would come after jumping into that opportunities, as a crypto investors and a trader they should look at the risk aspect maybe if they would be able to bear it then they may venture into it.

The bearish market this time is indeed very different from 2018, because the level of volatility is reduced compared to 2018,
and it is a good opportunity for us investors to enter safely in Bitcoin, but for altcoins it seems that the volatility is still the same,
because seen from the decline in altcoins that are almost - 90% makes no difference from a bear market that has already passed.

Somehow people never invested that much as it's nowadays, the wide spread and adoption of bitcoin in some country has made bitcoin gain much popularity. Whatever that triggers bitcoin also affects altcoin as well so currently we may not witness so much bear till after the bitcoin halving.

I agree with you, bear market is an opportunity to fill your bags and get ready for the next bull run, during bull run, the people that makes the most profit are the ones that fill their bags during bear market.

However, it is just in the bear market that it is difficult to understand which Altcoin will have the largest APY% at the next steer. I would not risk forming my portfolio precisely during the decline in the market, especially as happened in the past. It is better to start creating a portfolio just at the early stage of the bullish trend. But how to correctly recognize this moment is the question and ability of a crypto expert.

Preparing for the possible pump is more accurately done during the bear market. If you can add more with your bag holds, you will
earn a lot when bull run takeover.

It's more on how you believe the project that you are supporting and how much willing you are to wait till it reached your target amount before selling
your holdings.

Take time to DYOR and make sure that you have that patience to wait if long-term is needed.

I don't think that even big or rich investors wait for the bull run if they want to buy, they do it when the price is pretty low, though they might not care if the price isn't too low they don't buy when the market is already up because even rich investors do it for money and they also love high profit so they make sure that they earn as much profit as possible with their money.

Trading should only be done if you have enough knowledge and experience about the market and you understand the moves of the market and different cryptocurrencies, otherwise, you will only make your assets go into loss if you don't know how to trade properly.

In the fast-paced world of blockchain, it's important to remember that building and shaping a project takes time. Patience is crucial when investing in projects, as meaningful developments often require months or even years to materialize. It's essential to have a long-term perspective, considering the project's roadmap, team capabilities, and market conditions. Rushing for quick gains may lead to impulsive decisions and missed opportunities for sustainable growth. By understanding the importance of patience, investors can make more informed decisions and support projects that have the potential to deliver substantial value over time.

Yes now almost people of all countries know about Bitcoin. When people of all countries start using Bitcoin, the public demand of Bitcoin will increase. Through Bitcoin, money is being used in many countries now. Hopefully there will come a time when Bitcoin will be used instead of money. .Bitcoin is now banned in several countries.

Good question to be bright and clear because Investing in crypto carries inherent risks. and answer Is this the right time to build a crypto portfolio? I think, Timing is very important in investing. Evaluate market conditions, project fundamentals and your risk tolerance before making a decision.

Will the next bear market be like 2018? Predicting the future market is challenging. Increased adoption can influence a bear market, but consider a variety of factors and seek professional guidance. case example, look at today's market conditions and synthesis, which means making decisions based on information.

No matter all it takes fiat will still be over bitcoin but if there are some cases were delay of payment is then such people or individual may decide to pay using bitcoin. But one thing for sure is that both bitcoin and Fiat will be in full usage non will be left behind, as a matter of consideration bitcoin can't fully function without fiat they both function together. Let say, for one to acquire bitcoin they needs dollars or fiat then sell to bitcoin same it's to when someone have a bitcoin wanting to sell to fiat.

Bitcoin is never created to counter fiat rather was created to support and ease payment for people where will be delay for fiat to scale through then bitcoin is being use to ease the payment and break every limitations.

Bitcoin will be legalized in friendly countries like Singapore, Japan, Korea, Thailand, China, Elsalvador and Russia,
I'm sure other countries will also follow including countries in ASIA maybe India which will legalize bitcoin in the future.

Elsalvador is one of the country that is currently more friendly with bitcoin, somehow a country like Nigeria is another place that was more friendly with bitcoin but the government start acting against bitcoin due to the fails of eNaira they achieved of implementing smoothly, I think this contributed to restrictions of bitcoin transactions between our citizens.

At bitcoin trading became believed and user friendly chosen is most important to  Coin base, Binance, Kraken. These platforms offer a range of features, including real-time price charts, order placement, and access to liquidity.By additional action taken belong to take a decision and given first priority given to them.

It is necessary to believe in projects that really try to implement specific ideas. However, the formation of such projects does not occur in one month. Therefore, to say exactly how to relate to the Blockchain.

In my view, now is an important moment to observe cryptocurrency market conditions. Like unforeseen forces of nature, price movements, market sentiment and trends can open doors to attractive investment opportunities. However, like the unpredictable ocean, market conditions can change quickly, reminding us to remain vigilant and prudent in making investment steps.

Building crypto portfolio this time of bear market is the best opportunity by far and of course doing DCA is also guaranteed to have a good portfolio that comes a a promising profit in the next bull run market season. Crypto market has cycles that why you should have the idea when to time the market conditions, by that it will give you a great accumulation period.

The altcoin that you choose to be in the portfolio is of course not just any altcoin,
because there are lots of scam altcoins out there and of course before you buy it and put it in the portfolio,
analyzing it first fundamentally and technically is very important,
especially if you intend to buy memecoin of course you have to do this if don't want to get scam or rugpull.

a bear market will always occur in every phase but the market will continue to grow, so each phase will always experience an increase from the previous phase.
for example in 2018 and 2022 yesterday.

It's always a need to do your DYOR before placing assets inside your portfolio. There are many available coins that you can choose from. What is
important is knowing what are the reason why the project will continue to grow.

Not just a simple pump and dump but more on the usages that will attract more investors to buy and hold, with that characteristic you can expect
that the project will continue to move forward. Even in some instances, the value may fall. There's always a chance that it will bounce back.

If you enter during the current bear season, it will be more profitable. As far as I'm concerned, I've gotten into Bitcoin and some of the top altcoins to start holding long term. Doing DCA is also a good suggestion, but you have to use good fund management. DCA will work when the market continues to fall and it gives us the opportunity to enter at a lower price and increase in assets. The cycle will change and hold for the long term until the bull market comes back.

Obviously this is the best time to build your kept portfolio. Because now actually the bear market is running and almost every altoins are in a very lower price. So now you can build a good portfolio for the future and surely you will get a high return. Before building portfolio always try to do DCA (Dollar Cost Average).

It depends on your risk level, there is no time you can't build your portfolio. I know some people that start adding Gold back crypto tokens during the bull market and when the market dumps their portfolio was protected. There are some people they just keep buying DCA during the bear market, so it depends on you, if you know the upside is very high and BTC is going to $100k why are you scared to add BTC to your portfolio at this moment in time. Building a portfolio requires a lot of factors and need to be considered very well in short, medium and long term.

Even though it can be done and sometimes it is considered the right choice for some people but DCA for altcoins I think is a little risky because in this case I have the thought that their condition will be much more difficult if they do it that way.
I also did DCA on this but admittedly only for bitcoins but not altcoins. As for altcoins, I still find it a bit difficult to do, especially since I haven't done much like investing there, so instead of DCA, I prefer to take advantage of the momentum that occurs there, as long as there isn't anything like that, I won't get into altcoins.
But regardless of anything, everyone has their own conditions and principles and I quite like and will not prohibit what other people are doing about DCA altcoins too, even though they are doing things that are much riskier.

1. There is always a good time to build your portfolio. I suggest you to put in some baskets. This means that you can divide your investment funds into several types of cryptocurrencies.

2. There are no trends that make a crypto market a bear market or a bull market. All depends on very many factors. Several times I missed the train because when we feel we have seen the trend of a market, it is no longer in its early stages.

I am not afraid to trade on Binance because I know all kinds of facilities are available from Binance. But when I first started trading I started from Binance. Now I do all kinds of trades and transactions through Binance.Binance is a very popular exchange so I like it more.

Building portfolio is not always an easy task compared with the high volatility of the market, a trader requires trading strategy and good risk management if he or she wants to survives in the market. It's filled with setbacks and our expectations are always scattered, good time to initiate new plans for the upcoming bull season, I wouldn’t want to missed out, time to grab lay our foundations for reaping gigantic profits when the bull season finally comes. The market is going nowhere, we have enough time to do our research, not backing out on solid projects in the market.

The risk will be borne by themselves, so it will not be a burden on others. Unless they get signals or suggestions from other people who make promises about profits. DCA Altcoin or Bitcoin both have advantages and make us have more assets at a lower price. Selecting only the top altcoins for DCA will provide faster and greater returns than selecting altcoins that are no longer in demand.

The cryptocurrency market has session, which is Bitcoin is the driving force in the cryptocurrency industries, and the session of feeling up portfolios for future return investment and the time is now to buy, and market is really in good position to buy.

in the 30K area it is still relatively low and you can still enter for long-term investment to get to a new ATH later in the bullrun season, but all returns to risk and patience to achieve all goals in achieving profits

As far as buying now, you are right that this is the best time to buy, but the conflict between Binance and the SEC has made everyone afraid to buy. In the current situation there are many people who are selling their altcoins,because the SEC has declared more than sixty coins as securities, and objected to them. Which includes the top and best coins of the market.

In such a situation only investors and those people who control their emotions are successful. Instead of selling their coins, buying more at a lower price will be a great investment for the future. It is also possible that the altcoin prices will fall further but experienced investors will take full advantage of this opportunity and try to get more return on their investment by buying more.

 Do you really think that bear market will be a dipping as 2018?

Now that crypto is gaining more investors day by day and crypto adoption is increasing massively I don't think that the next bear market will be crazily low like 2018/2019, what do you think?
[/quote]

I hope it doesn't happen again. However, nothing is impossible in crypto. Because cryptocurrencies are so volatile, so no one knows when it will come.

I think rich investors can wait for bull market but small investors can't because they have less amount of money. So if we want make money from crypto then trade is the best policy for making money. If i have million Asset then i could buy more token and wait for bull market.

Yes you are right. There are some people who sell the invested coins when they need their money after investing. But we always have to remember one thing if we want to trade we have to be patient. If we lose patience after investing.  If we sell the coins, we will not make a profit but face a loss. So we always have to think and then buy and sell the coins.

There are bot good time or bad time to build an portfolio. Only thing is the consider when to enter and when to exit.  8)

Always do your DYOR and make sure you are well convinced with whatever decision you'll going to make, investment
inside trading can bring you benefits but also accompany by risk.

Without the right knowledge, chances of losing your money are always behind. With proper understanding, you can manage to decide things
the right way, you can save your money and you can deal with the transactions without any problem.

IMO, I think this is the best time to invest on Bitcoin in particular and other strong altcoins like Ethereum, etc. Basically, investment of any time involves some level of risk, despite the timing. Having observed the performance of Bitcoin for a couple of months, I think it not a bad idea to start buying Bitcoin and other altcoins that you have researched on. To continue to postpone building your portfolio is equally a risk because price of some of your target crypto assets could go up and get to a level that you may not be able to buy the crypto asset, and you will start to regret. However, as a good investor, you should not rule out a dip occurring in the market. As a result, it is important to buy only what you can afford to loose. Also don't put all your eggs in one basket.

In the end, everything cannot be separated from the situation where the funds are available to make investments. For small investors, with the current situation, they will experience a dilemma, whether to continue to hold in a situation where funds are needed to continue to be rotated so that their needs can also be met. So what you said is true, investors with large funds will be able to hold on and wait for a bull market to reach it, not for investors with small funds, they must always trade so that their existing funds can be rotated even though they are full of risks.

No one knows when the right time for us to invest. Just do it if you really believe with the project you want to invest in. About your question number 2 it could be happen if binance lose against SEC, it's gonna be a nightmare for all crypto holders.

We've seen record inflation and the collapse of a few lending platforms and a major exchange so I don't know it could be worse than 2018-2019.
Btw, My portfolio was 80% down in December 2018.

Its been around more than 1.5 years old from your post and still no bull run is seen. That means if anyone wanted to build up their portfolio that time, that person still need to hold thier assets as bull is still.missing from crypto industry and yes! If Once bull seassion start, everything will raise up heavily, for altcoins that could be 4x-5x or more. So for now its time to build up portfolio, tokens are still available with cheap but set in mind that, you may need to hold those altcoins for another one year or more for bull session.

I'm just underlining what you said, that it still takes time [1 year to 2 years] to be able to reach a bullish market, because the era of the halving period will only occur in 2024. Your prediction is the same as my estimate that it will increase sharp for altcoins that can survive but not all altoins only altcoins can contribute until the bull market comes. there will be many altoins that fall at the end of this year due to their inability to develop properly.

In 2024 it will be a halving on bitcoin and according to statistics new maximums will be only in 2025. Before it the market can rise but not so much.

It's always a good time to start building your own crypto portfolio, nobody can predict the future trend of the market or the duration of the bull/bear phases so i recommend a portfolio of altcoins that have an almost certain possibility of future growth like eth, bnb, matic

1. Anytime is a good time to buy your assets. You can do as Ratimov did at this link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5454830.0

Although I can't fully replicate what he has done, I am amazed at the concept and the way he invests in cryptocurrencies.

2. Secondly, I don't think that way. It's not like 2018 where there have been a lot of scams and frauds from projects with borrowed concepts like REgal and Davor. I believe the market will go down but it won't be as severe as 2018.

I'm trying to answer question number 1. Is this a good time to build a crypto portfolio? If you yourself, of course, you must answer with the answer "yes" just like me too. I think this question is very general and simple, but it's not that simple if we don't have extra funds to buy it. Of course. No one who already knows the crypto world wants to be a spectator when BTC will exceed its ATH to $ 70K but, what can you do there is a limit to the ability of each individual and means they cannot afford to buy but there are other needs that need to be prioritized.

Firstly i think so. Cause now potential altcoins are offering you with discount price i mean 30/40% down from previous bull run. So you can buy much amount of altcoins with the fund you have while if you want to build your portfolio during bull market, then amount will be less but you can also profit then. But if you buy now, you can see your portfolio more growing. Secondly, dont worry. That Won't be happened as you already said, crypto spreading day by day and reaching  to more people and getting lot of investment. So i expect, we Won't face that dipper that we faced in 2018

I don't think the 2023 market has anything in common with the 2018 market. The way the market went down in 2018 and 19 and the volatility in the market, I don't think the market will see that in 2023 or 24. Right now investors are investing more in Bitcoin and people are planning to hold Bitcoin for a long time. And the market is not going down now, the market is now all-time close to $30000. From such a situation the market will never come to such a bad state rather we can expect a good growth of the market from here. I am quite optimistic about the market in 2023 and 24 and expect the market to be in good condition by this time.

I wonder how this 2021 long thread is still making any sense at this time!

Like, what are you guys responding to at the time when the bear market seems come and gone and it had dipped at $17k. From all indication available, it seems that’s all we are going to get as, what’s in expectancy is the probability of a bullrun to follow the next halving so, what bear market or dip are we still talking about given that this thread is been since 2021. It’s 2023 and we’ve had our bear market that dipped at $17k from an ATH at $69k.

We don’t need to think or speculate on it no more. The thread is done for. The bear market dipped at $17k and that ends it.

If you are afraid to buy because it might go for more dips, then you must apply a DCA strategy so that you will have a peace of mind and not stressing out when is the right time to buy crypto assets. Yes, bear market is the best time to buy and it's already considered as a golden opportunity that's why never hesitate to buy when everything are low.

I will try to answer your question,

1. every time is the right time to build a crypto portfolio, because the price of cryptocurrencies will definitely continue to increase, but of course not all cryptocurrencies whose price will increase, therefore you are better to investing in projects that are already popular and have a high volume, so you can get a big profit in the future.

2. the market will not experience a bear run like in 2018, because currently many investors and large companies are starting to invest in cryptocurrency, then besides that USA also announced if USA will never ban cryptocurrency, so that makes people start choosing to invest in cryptocurrency and make cryptocurrency as a long-term investment, therefore I believe if there is a correction in cryptocurrency market, then of course the price will not fall as badly as in 2018 and the market conditions will recover quickly than before (increase again).

yes I agree, but I want to add my opinion, Before building a crypto portfolio, it's crucial to research and understand the different cryptocurrencies available, their use cases, and their potential for growth and Don't put all your investments into a single cryptocurrency; consider spreading your investments across different assets.

I will answer about "crypto bear market will be a dipping as 2018" While past trends can offer some insights, it's important to note that each market cycle is unique and can be influenced by different circumstances. The bear market of 2018 was characterized by a significant decrease in cryptocurrency prices after the rapid price increases of the preceding bull market in 2017. Whether a future bear market in the cryptocurrency space will be similar to the one in 2018 or exhibit different dynamics is uncertain. If you are considering investing in cryptocurrencies, it's important to conduct thorough research, assess your risk tolerance, and make informed decisions based on your individual financial goals and circumstances. Additionally, consider consulting with financial professionals who have expertise in cryptocurrency markets and investment strategies.

Your first question answer is: yes! This is the proper time to build up your portfolio. You'll find lots of potential altcoins from top with low price altgough those were Super high by their price during bull run of 2021. So you can collect those altcoins for next bull run. Your second question answer is complex. Cause nobody can predict what will going to happen in next. I believe there will be a dump soon cause crypto Market always dump before pump. Low chnace but You need to stay fit mentally to face if it even go dipper like 2018.

Don't think it is a good time to build one crypto portfolio now ,The cryptocurrency market is dipping and prices are going lower day by day. One can easily lose all his funds during this kind of market situation better to wait and see if Btc can be able to break its weekly 30-32 resistance on the charts if that does happen then I don't think it is a good idea to buy any altcoin at the moment.

1.) In building a portfolio there is no right time, but it is the readiness of each individual who knows when to enter, where if the crypto value has reached ATH, we are required to increase the existing capital before reaching ATH and be prepared to accept the risk if the crypto value weakens.
2.) For the bear market itself, I think, there is no similarity in 2018, where this year the movement is too fast but in recovering the price of bitcoin does not take too long to fall, it always rises within 2-3 days although slowly.

Investing small amount of money does not give good profit and the more money one can pour into crypto, the more gainer one will be. But my opinion only means independent investors who are more expert in crypto. If you are looking for someone else to invest in crypto then there will be risk because you have less experience for this type of investment.

It is true that investment should never be completely dependent on others, it is like putting your own fund in a threat. However, I think it is good to take suggestions, but do not invest blindly according to the suggestions. And in the case of investment, in the beginning I would say small investment is the best, then step by step you should go to big investment.

Small and keep adding if you feel that you already catching things on how to grow your investment, it's a tough call if you make an investment
without a knowledge and you are just doing it as same with dealing into gambling.

Learn the process and allow yourself to adopt this kind of mindset will generate good interpretations to how the business works.

From that, chances to grow your investment and succeed from this venue is possible to take place.

Currently the price of Bitcoin is still under $30k, I think if Bitcoin has the potential to double its dollar value in 2024 compared to last year then now is the perfect time to build a crypto portfolio, as it will likely double again in the future.  I am confident that market conditions will be different in 2024 from 2017 or 2018.  The market is still in a bear market but in 2024 the bear market will definitely change and we will see a bull market very soon.  Build this opportunity portfolio now to profit well in the next bull run.

Since this thread is old from two years ago, I will not comment on the second question, "Do you really think that the bear market will be a dipping as 2018?".
Regarding the first question on building the portfolio, from my point of view, building the portfolio is never too late. When we say we need to or we are building the portfolio, it means it's an investment and that to for long term. I see every bear market is the opportunity to accumulate (with respect to the top coins).

Firstly, yes, this is the right to invest.

Secondly, I don’t think the market will go as deep as it goes in 2018, because Bitcoin price gains, recognition and adoption every year, as a result of that, I don’t think it will go backward because we are targeting a new All Time High soon.

We cannot predict what the market will brings next, but with hopes, bitcoin will grow above our expectations and it will gain more adoption globally.

1) Now is the best time to build your crypto potfolio not only cryto, bitcoin potfolio precisely.no time is too late because the more people becomes more awear about bitcoin and it inportant the more the adoption. The price you see today might never be possible to see again in the future. Just like some people who never take bitcoin serious around 2010 to 2015 not until dey see the significance of bitcoin growth befor they started investment. Now they regret of not being an early accumulators. So shall people also complain when bitcoin will have atain to $150000k or above them will they the current price of $37k as a missed opportunity.

2)I don't really think so. As a matter of fact I see bitcoin not falling anything below#20k anymore.

I think the market has experienced its maximum decline when BTC fell to 15k$ and Solana to 8$, maybe later there will still be another decline but it won't be as deep as at the end of last year. maybe btc at the beginning of the year will fall to 30k$ or slightly below that is the last drop before the halving.

Talking about the time to invest in cryptocurrency, now isn't a bad time at all because the prices of most crypto assets are currently at a fair price now and the bull run is just by the Conner probably in a year from.now , so if you buy any crypto asset now you could hold for the long term max two years and then take your profit just before a new bear market starts again. But if you wait any further, your may not be amongst the early birds and sometime you may most likely rush into buying and make decisions that may be detrimental due to FOMO, o it usually advised you always buy when the market is low so you can be swept in on the bull run and not buying when the markets are already going up as you may not be able to catch up with the trend well enough to get the best out of the trend.

You should know that there was a bull run in 2017 and investors made a lot of money during that time. Don't rush to invest in crypto because this market will give you good results as well as bad results. Have the ability to sense the downside because there will be a loss of your money. If you just look for low price then you can never buy good project token so you need to do proper research and buy at right time.

And what's your take on the right time to buy? For me buying the right coins is actually the real case because most people tend to make the mistake of actually purchasing shitcoins which dump in no time because of the short pump some these coin have. For me if you want to want to invest or buy any altcoins you should remove greed because that would be the start of your downfall.

I doubt the increase in 2021 will not be a good thing for entry, because it is already very high.
so if the time is now that's a good thing.
and it is better to accumulate than to buy all at once, because there will still be fuds such as cpi and fed interest rate, and there may still be other new fuds.

The optimal time to enter the market is after your approach has been implemented. The market is constantly available for traders and investors to trigger beneficial points of entry, but not all of these traders rejoice at the end of their trades but with full concentration; they tend to lose an enormous amount of money, and some don't even reach their anticipated primary objectives. Everyone is looking for massive gains; what can prevent us from accomplishing this goal is if the market does not move according to our plans and instead moves sideways, undermining our steps and methods in the market.

I don't know if you have seen the market or actually know what the market was design for ? Because it was design for these so called loses to occur because it's like a business trade and in every business, loses is bound to happen and the need and want to get back this loses is what makes the trade interesting. Traders tend to try to get a better half of the market everytime but the issue is that these losses are bound to happen always.

Old thread but the question is still suitable for the current situation. And i believe this is the time to build up your portfolio. Although it could be more effective if anyone can do it little earlier. When op if you done that that time, then that would be more profitable cause that time price fall more down then now. The fact is time duration only. And i think now anyone shouldn't worry about the action of bear cause we are assuming that, bear period is kind of end and bull era will be start soon.

Building a crypto portfolio isn't the problem but I think the problem lies in been able to hold long enough to be profitable, the basics concept of investing in cryptocurrency is buying low and selling higher, the high of today maybe the low of tomorrow so almost anytime is good but been patient enough for your assets to appreciate well about your points of entry is a key factor as to how well your investment decision would play out.

Good point, it's best to learn how to timing yourself in buying your assets, it's not easy but doable as there are successful traders
who manage to make money out of this revenue of investment.

The more on skills, knowledge and patients, the more you know what you are doing the better chance of making success.

All you need to do is position yourself and take time learning more different patterns and factors that affect how the market will move to make good assessments.

It isn't the time to think of the market getting down as what we experienced back in 2028. Opportunities need to be utilised, maybe tomorrow the market can go high or it can go downward, however reaching the level as 2018 is really hard. Whether you're long term focused on short term, just find the right coins and keep on accumulating through the DCA strategy or other ways. Maybe after few years we'll think of the price during the year 2023 is lesser.

1. Yes, now is the time to build our portfolio and be ready for the next bullrun, don't keep timing the market because it's better for us to pay in installments and be consistent with the coins we buy, like I buy bitcoin consistently every month, that's our goal of investing and making money. In investing, we have to find the money in our business
2. I don't think it will happen in 2018 because big companies like Blackrock are already looking at Bitcoin too and several countries also support Bitcoin, this is my opinion

the answer is,
1. yes, now is the right time to invest in cryptocurrency, because market conditions have not experienced a bullrun
2. bear market situation will not be like 2018, because you will never see cryptocurrency prices as cheap as in 2018, then in the next 3-5 years, you will also not see cryptocurrency prices (especially Bitcoin) as cheap as this year (2023).

Market condition is now not stable and not so higher therefore one who will invest even this time then he will be profitable in Bull season as 2024 will be that year in which wishes of all holders will come true. Make good decisions of coins and don't be too calm in buying coins that you skip the chance of achievement in coming months.



Market condition cannot be examined in advance so we cannot say that the condition will be same as that of 2018 or worse than it or perhaps better than it. Actually Market condition are invisible therefore assumption can be made but reality is hidden for everyone. We assume that future will be bright for all bitcoin holders because now bitcoin price is much more better than past.

Mr kevinzxz you have answered correctly, there is no better time to invest into bitcoin or other crypto than now. The best decision a newbie can take in his crypto journey is to get into accumulation as soon as possible, even if you'll not be able to purchase a full coin, with the help of DCA it will be possible. Just like the example you cited, in 2018 we experienced a drastic decrease in price but today, the current price is better and so will price also appreciate in the coming years also. For Bitcoin I am sure the price will continue to increase due to the idea of only 21million coins in supply. As adoption increases with limited supply, this will bring about scarcity and from the law of demand and supply, when there is scarcity with increase in demand or the demand remains constant, there will be an increase in price. I believe Bitcoin or the crypto system is not an exception to this theory, so let invest now and see our portfolio grow.

The thread was posted two years ago and that's the time during the bull run. So if we're going to look at the timeframe again, next year halving will takes place, actually it's just within the next few months and it won't take any longer and less than a year.
Basically, this is the time and it's the best to make your portfolios setup before the bull run and that's how you're going to make it even better. Prepare ye the portfolio that you have and buy the necessary cryptos that shall go up IYO.

Sure this is the best time to build a cryptocurrency portfolio for yourself against the coming year since in 2024 there will be a major event in the industry which is Bitcoin halving and this is going to make a significant change in the value and markets demands of most coins in the market and that is undoubtedly a sure point as to why this is the best time to assemble your portfolio that can help you to prove and increase your chances of making good profits.

Most especially if you are able to divide your portfolio according to their preference and market behaviours and what their possibilities are to make a good market moves when the time comes. 

You may consider to put up your portfolio I a percentage manner by aligning higher percent for Bitcoin and other lower percentage also to few potential altcoins also.

It's true that patience is the main key in investing in crypto, so at any time we can invest in crypto, it's the right time when the market is at its lowest value, but now is the right time, you could say it's the last chance to buy before the price goes up even more. In 2024 it is said that the market will experience an increase, but all still predictions . Just be sure.  friends, to invest in crypto.

What does the OP actually mean? what needs to be discussed, what are the problems with the crypto market, or altcoins that have the potential to produce results, right?
OK, I'll just discuss the ups and downs of the market, because currently the crypto market is changing for the better, where almost all altcoins are starting to experience an increase, of course we have to prepare ourselves to start investing in altcoins that have great potential to provide profit.

You can check before week the price of bitcoin was low and now almost lot of up so that's means already you has missing profits. This type for crypto market so Don't thinking investment step for all time. Just check all top coin cheap price then buy and hold even it will be successful investment.

Future market forecasts are uncertain and carry inherent risks. Although it is true that the market is witnessing significant growth and stability towards the end of 2023 and it is impossible to accurately predict how the market will perform in 2024. Various factors such as geopolitical events, economic conditions, and technological advancements can all affect everything. Today can help diversify the investment portfolio and potentially improve your investment results. Increased awareness and adoption of Bitcoin may further increase the price. While it is certainly possible for the price of Bitcoin to continue to rise and potentially reach $100,000 or more, it is important to consider the volatility and unpredictability of the market.

You can think of a lot, but now is the time to make a decision. Many cryptocurrencies have started to grow, for those who did not manage to invest their assets earlier, I think that not all is lost. There will be a correction, but overall we are still going up. Corrections allow for more favorable entry points.

If you know how to anticipate but I guess things will be differentiate by each trader to make their entry, there's always opportunity
for people who are seeking on it.

But then it will be on the investors and traders' side if how they will see those chances, if you are seeking for venturing to this venue of investment.

Better to take your time not just to step inside right away but to study and do your research before taking your call.

There’s no specific time to build your cryptocurrency portfolio, though one is advised to get in as soon as they can. Now is a very good time, even before now, and even after now. But you should also be very conscious of what cryptocurrencies that make your portfolio, because if the tokens/coins aren’t good ones, the effect your portfolio will suffer is on a different level. Don’t buy tokens/coins because they said it’s good. Do your own research and invest and amount you can afford to lose.

Nothing is too late, the important thing is to have big intentions. If not, only hear corrections, you'll be afraid of losing money and this for the Altcoins market in particular. If BTC still has time to, it's not yet at 50K in price.

But even so, don't rush either. Look at the good ones, at least consult with friends who are experts in choosing coins/tokens, especially Altcoints for newbies in particular. If it's already there, you don't need to contact it anymore.

There is no doubt that the cryptocurrency market, especially Bitcoin, is a place where chance and anticipation meet! There is no one way to trade like a fingerprint, but there is a twist: its not just about the entry; its the way you think about it. In this digital gold rush, how successful someone is depends on how they see and act on these chances.

The interesting part is that rushing in without doing any study is what makes you crazy. Your point is very well made; patience is the unsung star. You have to be smart about how you dive in as well as how you jump in. How to get it? To understand Bitcoin's subtleties, like its fluctuations and trends. Like chess, every move and plan needs to be carefully thought out. Find out more, think about it, and then act. For people who believe in Bitcoin, this is more than just investment tips.

I think it getting late to start building any portfolio now,  it should have done around last year November when the price of Bitcoin and almost all altcoins had experience a bearish sentiment buying and accumulating altcoins that period would have started earning some reasonable reward by now till next year when the halving of Bitcoin is expected to build or earn more rewards, I think bearish run had come to an end so the opportunity to building a portfolio now is to wait for any price pullback or reversal and starting building portfolio using DCA to be on a safer side though a little research on the altcoins to invest on is very necessary and important.

September is the last decline this year so far, because in October and November Bitcoin and the market continued to rise, but at the end of this month there are still more than 20 days left, we will not know whether Bitcoin will continue to rise or will fall.
buying now and building your portfolio is not a bad thing.

If the bitcoin market had any intention to be bearish in December, it would have already happened. Previous year of halving the market usually shows bullishness and this is what we are seeing right now. But don't be overconfident that this will be the same until the bitcoin halving as there are still a few months left before the halving. Many expert predicts that there will be a bitcoin ETF approval in January next year and many people are excited about it and opened their long positions with high leverage but if you think carefully, you will understand that there can be a correction before the halving only to liquidate this long position. This is what whales do to make profits.

and currently bitcoin is experiencing a decline, I think this is normal because it has been almost 1 quarter that bitcoin has continued to rise, there is news that microstrategy sold some of their btc before the halving and other things that caused bitcoin to fall.

Just another cycle that holders and traders needs to overcome, with the current decline those who are hoping to hold more can now buy more
coins and store it in their safe wallet.

Not easy though as the market keep declining and for sure there are panics that put more pressure inside the market.

It's more on how you react and decide when you see something like this, opportunity for those believers while for those short term players
it's something that they needed to work and re-assess.

As you can see the difference between 2018 and 2023 Bear market is quite different, and we are all expecting Bull Run market 2024 after Bitcoin halving has been take place. The best time to invest on Bitcoin is now, while holding for the next bull run session to start.

I feel that the crypto market of 2018 will not bounce back and from the current position we may have a bull market show. Now is the best time to build a crypto portfolio so you should buy the best altcoins and accumulate them in your bag. In fact the more investors grow the easier the bull market will be. Nowadays crypto market is more popular than in the past and the investor position is spread all over the world so you can see bright changes in the crypto market.

There is no better time in building a crypto portfolio than now. All these while I've in crypto holding, I discovered that the more you procrastinate, is the more you miss opportunities that might be the lowest dip before the bull run. Some one once said, yesterday was the best time to buy Bitcoin, and today is the second best. There is no room for thinking about investing tomorrow because,  the variance in price might become a problem for you tomorrow. We are about to experience the halving this year probably by April, and after that come the bull run which might give us a new ATH upto  $80k.

Yes rightly said now is the best time to build a crypto portfolio or investment portfolio. Because now almost all coins are low in price especially Bitcoin price is now at 40 thousand dollars which will allow many people to buy more Bitcoins and even increase their investment portfolio.

We may be only two months away from Bitcoin halving from now. I think When bitcoin halving starts then bullrun in cryptocurrency market starts then prices of other coins including bitcoin will increase.

In my opinion, the bear market is actually a great opportunity to build your portfolio. Its the time when you can snag Bitcoin and altcoins at more affordable prices. You know what they say, "the time to buy is when there's blood in the streets." Currently, I foresee more price drops in Bitcoin until the halving is over. So, it seems like the perfect time for accumulation. Its smart to start preparing now, ensuring you have the funds ready to buy in during the upcoming dip.

In fact, you can build a portfolio at any time, as long as the market is experiencing a decline and you are sure that the coins can provide profits, in the short or long term according to your wishes.
that's just my opinion, not to be applied because I usually do that


I hope 2018 will not happen again, even if it does, the grades will definitely be better than 2018

There is a difference between the bear market of 2018 and 2023 because every year there is an increase in the price of a bitcoin so if bitcoin is getting increase then every other coin will repeat the same pattern. Now it is 2024 and presently the price is lower but this is all about the preparation for halving which will take place in the month of April.

Now everyone can invest in bitcoin and some best altcoins as market is facing slight dump so if someone wants to become an investor then he should choose certain coin presently without any delay. We cannot predict about bear and bull market based on current worth because this decrease can also be a sign of correction and later we will see more upward movement.

It has been two years since the question was asked and the answer to it is still the same. It's the right time to accumulate crypto before they becomes too expensive and you miss out on the train or the rocket. Prices of some coins were much lower in 2021 that what they are today as we already had a small bull and we are on process of consolidating that rise. Coins like bitcoin has doubled while solana increased by 5 times. The prices are trying to stabilize around this range. When a lot of people have bought crypto and current average price, they won't be willing to sell it at current price that would make way for another price jump.

Yes, I agree with you, in my opinion 2018 was a crypto crash where almost all cryptocurrencies experienced a tremendous decline, including Bitcoin, so at that time many people experienced a breakdown and left crypto, but in 2019 Bitcoin and other coins gradually made progress.  , so that until now the growth of crypto is very calculated,

I agree with you, I think the best time to build a portfolio in various altcoins, including Bitcoin, has already begun. The crypto market was bullish at the beginning of this month but for quite some time the prices of various coins, including Bitcoin, have been trending lower in the market, especially after the approval of Bitcoin ETFs. Bitcoin halving is very close, expect to see a huge bullrun in the crypto market ahead, even BTC enter maybe its ATH. I am trying to grow my crypto portfolio and have already started investing in some of the top alt coins including Bitcoin.

op I agree with you. There are many people who do not have enough knowledge about investing. Due to lack of investment knowledge, they rush to sell the money they invest very quickly  When we trade in something, we must be patient with the trade. If we do not trade patiently, then we will not be successful in this trade. The most important role in trading is patience We have to trade with patience and time. We always have to have a long term plan in trading. If we don't have a long term plan and don't check the market then we will never be successful.

Experiencing the heavy crash of crypto was outrageous, one couldn't believe with his eyes about the shocking results generated from the crash. I couldn't sleep for days because I was upset with the market and my coin couldn't pump into a good spot, rather it followed the dip and liquidated my portfolio. Cryptocurrency is not for the weak, it's built for the strong and only them can withstand the pressure from the space. I know it's not easy to adapt to the system as a newbie but with consistent decision making, one can grow to become a professional in the market.

I don't know why people will keep waiting for a massive dip before they invest. DCA has solve this problem already. No one knows the real dip of any project. So getting into the market now should be something one should consider as we are getting close to the bullrun as day go by.

This question, I think, torments all participants in cryptocurrency trading, and the answer will always be ambiguous. Trading cryptocurrencies is a complex process and the crypto industry is constantly evolving, making it impossible to predict price changes. Try to be prepared for such uncertainty, but still this year may turn out to be bullish.

I build my portfolio by participating in airdrops and bounties, in other words every time for me is the right time to build a portfolio. Moreover I am a long-term investor, so what I have to do is continue to work to add investment to the portfolio before it is bullish and Bitcoin reaches ATH.

That's right, I agree with your opinion in February 2024, build your portfolio from now, if you start today, build your portfolio before the impact of the halving arrives, in installments from now on, don't ever wait or time the market in altcoin installments that according to your research have the potential to rise, remember based on your own research so that your portfolio growth grows rapidly

The crypto market is currently no longer in a bearish phase. Although I see that current market conditions are not very bullish. This can be seen from the Bitcoin price movement which has experienced another price increase where the Bitcoin price is currently above $41k. Therefore, I believe the bearish phase has ended and now the market is heading into a bullish phase.

indeed the bearish phase have ended, and what we have seen now in the market for the past few days is just a sideway movment, whereas the market is not on a bullish trend or a bearish trend. however now is the perfect time to buy more coins in your portfolio and wait patiently for the the halving and bull run to take place. though history does repeats itself but I'm not sure if the market will dip any further like that of 2018.

The market is in the bullish state with a slow movement because for the past few days bitcoin has been hovering around 51-52k which we have practically seen, the thing is that discovering the crypto that appreciate at this stage is almost impossible unless we are talking about existing altcoin that are working with the lead of bitcoin, buying dip has always being the idea of most crypto minded people because of it's appreciation tendency though altcoin are not like Bitcoin so I will concur to that opinion but waiting for this to decline further as you said may result to trying in futility, ETF approval, halving and bullrun will not allow this trend to stop but in other to remain relevant in the market we have to be smart.

It's always the best time to build some assets into your bag, you can just pick whatever in top 20 of coinmarketcap and you can call it a day, just make sure to do research first because even though it's a top rank altcoin on coinmarketcap it doesn't mean you can always jump right into it, you have a risk to jump into wrong times and losing your money.

It's possible, but rather difficult to make it dip like 2018. It was a disaster and make more people have negative impact to Crypto in general and made the price continuously decreased for quite long time. Since we are close to halving, I think we won't see that happen in quite long period of time.

Some people still are not certain we have completely entered the bullish  phase due to how the bullish trend isn't moving in the speed they had pictured in their mind towards the bullish market and with the approval of the ETF yet nothing close to a $100k range as was widely speculated by many before the bitcoin spot ETF approval. The bullish season has already started, look at the chart today and bitcoin price, it is rumoured the price might equally reach to the price of the last ATH before the next halving sets in.

The thread was made on 2021 and we're now on 2024. The same moments when it was made that it's during the bull run and this time, we're about to enter the bull run.
The clue is there, if you want to have a good portfolio and want to build it now, do it before you're left behind by this bull. If not yet decided, take your time quicker because many of the altcoins now have pumped a lot so as Bitcoin.

More precisely currently the price of bitcoin is in the range of $50k, only $15k away from ATH 2021. I think this is very clear confirmation that the bear market has ended and now we just need to buy as much bitcoin as possible in preparation for the bullish this year. The current price increase is not too fast because this price increase is not a true halving but rather a positive trend because the halving is getting closer.

This time the market is totally bullish because we are visualising regular increase in price and also we know that Bull season is not very far so we will soon see another ATH. Bitcoin is now more enhanced than 41k$ and may be that was the initiation of Bull season and now the price is almost 63k$.

Bearish phase has come to end but is not finish for all the time but whenever halving take place people will rushes to sell their bitcoin at higher price as a result of which once again we will see bearish phase. Not only bitcoin but all the coins are getting increase in its price and these are all the effects of Bull season.

I think after the halving Bitcoin will experience a correction because people will sell their BTC to make a profit. But that didn't last long. If we look at the history of Bitcoin prices after the halving, there will be a significant increase after the halving. I think the narrative that says BTC will hit $100,000 this year is actually going to happen. Currently the halving and hype of altcoins has attracted the attention of many people around the world and even several world financial institutions have also begun to enter the crypto market. I think right now we're going to see the biggest bull run in cryptocurrency history.

Yes, this is actually the best time to build your portfolio because this happens once in a while the bull run, and it always good to buy crypto this time which ever crypto you wish to buy keep a lot to boost it will definitely grow currently, but are boosting people are making profit, I can say portfolio if you are looking forward to withdraw or making money via crypto, this is the best time to take the risk to store, no risk on buying crypto this time, every bull run is always the best time to buy crypto. and also, this is the best time to minimize your wallet out flow to enable you enjoy decision. Sometimes I call this particular season on cryptocurrency as enjoyment season that is to see most people usually double their money during the season and it is amazing so you can proceed on buying crypto and store in your wallet until the bull run is over and you can now make your decision. if you are seeking for an advice, it’s truly the best time to buy crypto yes this is the best time to buy crypto and try not to make some withdraw so you can enjoy decision as much as everyone that is participating do

Indeed, if the target is to reach the next halving, then now is the right time to buy while the price is still not too high. Moreover, the halving period is getting closer. So we must not miss the opportunities that exist. Take advantage of opportunities as much as possible so you don't miss out on reaping profits. We will never know in the future whether the events of 2018 will be repeated or not. but what is certain is that while there is an opportunity to make a profit, use it as much as possible.

It is not too clear what the next halving will bring but we hope it leads to higher prices for Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies.  Even when I understand that the prices are not too high if one imagine that Bitcoin has not happened yet, we must admit that the market have moved up significantly thereby making now a little bit buying high.

The all time high of Bitcoin is around the corner, by right entering at the all time high is not the best entry. Bitcoin retraced so much from the all time high and that would have been the best time to buy. Those who missed entry at the low can still do so now while we wait to see how the Bitcoin halving will go.

1. it's always good to have different investments, you don't have to bet on just one horse, cryptocurrencies are a safe haven comparable to gold 2. hey there's little to say here, finally we're in a bull phase of the market

I don't agree with you on that, cryptocurrencies are not comparable with gold when it comes to the safety of your funds because gold has been around for centuries and it has a physical existence which means that it can't lose its value just like how some cryptocurrencies do. I agree that the price of gold fluctuates as well over time, but it isn't as volatile and risky as cryptocurrencies.

Even if we are talking about Bitcoin, we know that Bitcoin has a cyclical movement pattern in which there is a bear run as well when Bitcoin loses value, but if we talk about gold, it doesn't have bear markets where its price dips as much as Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

1. Before the halving occurs is the right time to buy or build a portfolio.
2. definitely. because when the halving occurs the price of bitcoin will rise drastically in a very fast time. This price increase will trigger investors to sell with the aim of securing profits and this causes prices to fall drastically or is called bearish.

Well, whatsoever answer you will get concerning this question is what that person feel or think will happen base on his/her analysis and that is like a guess or prediction because they are not 100 percent sure and again people who invested long ago will not pray for it to go as low as 2018 while people that haven't invest or did not invest, may be praying for it to go down so that they can invest. If you have the money and you wish to invest now no problem but if you don't also have no problem, carry out your analysis and make a choice and decision yourself.

1. The time to build a portfolio is when the bearish market happens. It should be in 2022-2023.
2. There is no significant increase in Bitcoin price. You must monitor the market, right?  ::)  I think investors prefer to keep their Bitcoin for now. It is not the right time to sell the Bitcoins. We also still have a long time for bullish season, it is predicted to last until 2025.

Bitcoin now is $63k Ethereum is $3k and Solana is $100+. With the above prices in the market I don't think this is the best time to invest in the cryptocurrency market though according to experts, Bitcoin price will reach $150k so if you like to invest now, then it is your choice but as for me if you can wait for the dip, or you apply the DCA method to buy. Cryptocurrency portfolio can be build at anytime and all-time.

Then the second question is. No bear market has reduced below the previous one although I didn't see the 2018 and 19 bear market and I believed that the 2022 bear market was not below the previous ones. And the 2022 which I also witness was $15k. So this coming one will not below that of 2022 bear market of $15k

It's a known thing that the more you invest, the more you gained although altcoins selection is important otherwise you’ll lose rather than gain anything. So better minimize your invest if you are new or unsure about the future of altcoins that you are going to buy. And agreed that never depends on others advise blindly, you also need to analysis before taking step investing on anything. That is a little trick to be safe. Besides the waves of bull is noticeable in market , opportunity is good if it can be utilized in best way

You are very correct about this, although a lot of forks find it very difficult to understand that very logic , it is better to be on time in the market rather than timing the market conditions, and there are pretty best difference between Bitcoin and other coins especially viewing them of term approaching then, in Bitcoin if only you have long plans in mind it not necessary to time the market but rather you take advantage of every buying opportunities in oder to a good size of Bitcoin by not missing anything buying opportunities that shows it's self in the market.

The Dip is evaluated based on the mining utilities and by the halving with the determinat of the ATH.
So I bet it wouldn't be as that because as we escalates to withness new ATH, so also the Dip pumps up but the good news about it is that tmas the Dip goes higher, so also the bear and the bull would surge to maximize your invest proefficiently so the Dip of the different circles would never be the same as much the ATH has its breaking records.

Your investment in the Bitcoin market, it is important that you have enough time and money to analyze the market and its infrastructure. You should be better satisfied, and not disappointed by buying bitcoins today because the market for satisfaction is very limited. Before investing in Bitcoin, it is better to try to stabilize it by buying at your convenient Dips price because the market price swings can make you unstable. Motivated to quit or not sell. You may not get the opportunity to buy at the Dips price tomorrow you should buy today. so I would say it is better not to focus on price again and again.

The decision to build a crypto portfolio depends on your investment goals, risk tolerance and knowledge of the crypto market. Forecasting crypto market movements, including potential bear markets, is a very difficult task and no one can predict exactly what will happen in the future. Referring to the 2018 bear market, it should be noted that each market cycle has unique characteristics and is influenced by various factors. So it's important to pay attention to trends, perform fundamental and technical analysis, and weigh the risks as well as the potential rewards when making investment decisions.

In my opinion, Yes. it is and will not be the same as the phase of 2018. at this moment if see the market conditions are indeed correcting again and even if BTC rises it is not too strong. Those who trade BTC are quite decent and those who trade altcoins are quite noticeably declining assets, especially if BTC is slightly corrected.

I think this is the right moment to increase the load, but if we intend to hold and wait for a higher increase in the future, it will be worth it and even if you want to sell it when it is already in the profit category.
