This question is for those that are here when bear market of 2018 stormed the crypto space, how doesn't it feel like? All those staking for perceive income makes sense at all? Or returns went so bad and makes staking looks like a bad idea? How does it felt like.

it feels so terrible, sometimes I even think crypto is over. I'm scared every time I look at the crypto market, I see that my portfolio is lose. If at that time I gave up and sold everything, I wouldn't be here today. maybe that choice will be the biggest regret of my whole life later. but if today the bear market starts, I won't be as pessimistic as I used to be. I will use this as another opportunity to build my portfolio. waiting for the next 2-3 years is no longer a problem for me, because I have experienced it in the past. the second time didn't scare me.

I heard it was so terrible that many left thinking it was over for crypto, mining and staking became a total joke as they aren't even near to making sense at all, I don't think the same thing will happen because crypto adoption of 2021-2022 is far different from 2017-2018.

The truth for me personally is that the losses persisted, and I could not continue to maintain the source of money to participate in the market. Indeed, it was one of the big lessons for me. I remember I made a lot of money before, but after a vicious cycle from the ICO, I was almost stuck with losses. Although not so heavy, it also made life cluttered. I think that newbies will not be able to avoid this problem when the background knowledge as well as maintaining the investments are not suitable for their finances. Over time, I have always loved this market and am satisfied with what I have got.

January 2018 to April 2019 was the hardest bear market for me. During that period of time, I almost stopped doing PoS mining and sold a lot of coins at a loss. I hope that the bear market of 2018 will not repeat itself in the near future, although I will be morally ready for it.
At the moment I am staking some tokens on the Binance exchange and I accept everything that comes with this risk.

It went down first. Then it went up. Everybody thought the bear market was over and then it went down again. Then it went sideways for a long time. People thought again, the bear market should be over by now and it went down even more. Then it went up and passed the last ATH.

^Basically every bear market there is in history^

I don't think this bear market is going to be an exception.

The last crypto bear market is not good. It's bad time for me especially when my bussiness went wrong.
I am forced to sell 80% of my crypto at much lower prices than now, just to keep the wheels spinning and now i'm still trying to get back up

I feel like that if you are riding the roller coaster that will bring you to the bottom and then to go up again. I have experienced whole of my assets worth nothing for temporary and a few years later all of my assets were reaching the ATH again. That's the worst time in the crypto industry when you are seeing your money gone for temporary and people with weak mental would cut loss their investment for sure.



For people who wanna earn more tokens or coins instead of seeing it from the fiat value and nothing wrong with it. that's why you must always try to put some as reserved funds when the crypto market face big bearish trend and you will have urgent money.

Honestly it depends are you long term or short term in crypto. If you are long term then it bear market is good chance to get some coins on discount. As metter of feeling it feels really bad but thats the nature of crypto.

When everyone starts to fear and panic and say that “the sky is starting to crack”, then it is the best opportunity to invest and buy more, but the problem is that most people think that the game is over and they should sell.

So, always when you invest in digital currencies, consider that your money has been stolen or disappeared, and then any profit, whatever it is, will be a good profit for you. As for the loss, it is not calculated, and therefore no matter how low the price is, you will not be afraid to sell.

I remember being a beginner and my purchases are still the best investment so far.

Yes it is but it will take years but when conditions & economy require you to sell it. you didn't have choice anymore.

I also have assets that go to zero after a few years. What do you think?

it's also depends how much money you want to put in and how is your economic condition

Maybe I can describe the bear market experience as a third world war like every other finance sectors ganged up to beat cryptos. Cryptos took a severe beating that most us newbies then thought that would be the end of cryptos. If anyone told me then that bitcoin falling from around $19,000 to below $3,200 was going to survive till date I would doubt it. But that is what bitcoin knows how to always do. It survives every beating. It was a horrible experience watching all my altcoins go to zero value. If that situation comes upon us now I will not panic to sell anything because I know bitcoin will survive it again.

It was the worst bear market because we were coming from a bull market and I was thinking bitcoin will collapse, but of course, I learn a lot from that situation that's why I don't easily panic now. If we will experience the worse now, I would not be surprised because I believe that it's just part of the market cycle.

last time, bitcoin almost hit $20k but drop $3k, so we are not seeing yet a very low price if we pattern the movement in 2018.

The bear market in the 2018 was become the worst bearish market that has ever happened before. So many people were feeling frustate with their portfolios. Bitcoin gone down so hard and this is also giving a very big impact to the another altcoin as well. This time bitcoin is far stronger than before and i hope that time will not come again. that's enough for me to see that everything were going down so hard. It's a very bad experience in my life so far with the bearish market.
People who stake their tokens already committed to earn tokens and they were not care about the price

2018 was the saddest bear market and it was my first time facing a bear market when it comes to cryptocurrencies. They said that cryptocurrencies will end soon because the bear market really damaged prices very badly at that time, thinking that cryptocurrencies will end made almost 80% choose to leave cryptocurrencies because they think they are not worth investing in. But we smile again when we know that 2021 we have another upside and cryptocurrencies are still growing well.

at that time in 2018 many people may have suffered losses due to the bear market that invaded crypto.
it certainly makes the holders panic and sell assets at a loss. but if they are patient in 2021 they should have experienced a very extraordinary advantage
because in that year the crypto bull market was very high and many made new ath.
I think if we invest in crypto, the point is that we have to be patient, because if we believe in the project or coin that we invest. although someday the bear market will definitely come back bull and make a new ath.
the point is to be patient and choose a coin that really has a good project in the future.

I don't think the 2022 market will be like the 2018 market. But it cannot be said that 2022 and 2023 will be a very good one. In fact, no one can predict the cryptocurrency market. But something can be understood by analysis. Currently Bitcoin is down about 42%. And if so, how much? Even so, we should take prepared for this.

You forget that we have staking stable token at that time. Mostly people have been converting their assets into the stable token to be used for staking purpose during the big dump that happened. This is the best strategy that already done by so many people to keep get the passive income even when the market is having very bad performance. I think that staking is not always related to the staking altcoins but you have so many choices like staking stable token. People who used this method able to avoid the bearish impact.

If you compare the APY of staking vs growth of altcoins from the last bear market its like 1 and 100 respectively, staking is for passive income and holding is the thing which can bring real returns which means even if you hold $100 at the peak of bear market then it will be over 10 or 20 times atleast in the peak of ATH.

So you are thinking those stakers were loosing a lot but if they are keep holding their staked tokens until 2021 and they may have been farmed bunch of money for sure. I just wanna say based on the reality if people who still staked during the bearish market are believe with the potential that owned by the token. These kind of investors are not only short term investors but these are long term investors that may hold their tokens for years or even more.
So you can't generalize that if staking at the time will always bring you to the bad result. it's not how crypto market works.

What is certain is that there were a lot of trader mentalities at that time who felt the crypto market was over. But in fact the market is naturally like this. This will bring excessive bearish momentum and then lead to a period of intolerable bullrun. So back to the short term or long term trading/investment criteria?

To be honest, most people will be very worried about the momentum of 2018 and don't want it to happen this year. Everyone remains vigilant as no one knows what will happen regarding the state of the crypto market. Always invest with money that you don't need in the near future.

I learned too much from the previous bear market, that's why I am very thankful lately, about how to take profits slowly during the bull run.
It will not always be Christmas in short, it will not always be "UP ONLY". Never marry your altcoins.
Once you experience a bear market, you will regret a lot of things, I admit that especially if you are full of hype or first time to experience it.

Yes, it made me feel bad for staying inside. It would have been very profitable for me if I had spent the bear season with no assets in my hands. After 2018, I made purchases piecemeal constantly, it was profitable for me when the time came. It would have been much better for me if I hadn't stayed inside. I got a little greedy in the 2017 upswing and couldn't sell my assets, the result for me was to wait 2-3 years.

when the bear market occurred in 2018, at that time I was new to blockchain, it felt so frustrating, assets fell with a value below 20 percent, but I am still optimistic that the bull run will come back again.

Staking stablecoins is one of the right choices to deal with a bear market. At least by staking stablecoins, our money is safe and its value is not affected by the decline in crypto prices. There are various options for staking stablecoins with varying returns, depending on which stablecoin we choose.

We have seen evidence of bitcoin price recovering since its bearish breakdown in 2018, many people were frustrated because the impact of the price plunge was so significant that it cut-loss to minimize losses, but lucky for them to buy at that time because they already pocketed high profits.

Although I wasn’t here but you should also know the answer, all bear market are always bad for everyone in crypto-currency. But from my history of since I join Crypto I have come to see that after a great bear market not to long from then a great pump follows and sometimes leads to a new all time high. Although I think now Bitcoin has gotten a better adoption than it had then so we may not see severe bearish market.

Those who say it's terrible and all that sort of thing don't know how to make the best out of such market cycles. Most people during such periods simply sell off their valuable cryptocurrencies when they should, on the contrary, be buying them. Buy when there is fear in the market. The bear market that started in 2018 and continued through early 2019 was a great reason to build your crypto portfolios. ETH at $60, BTC at $3,500. It was a golden time to invest.

You have no idea of how awful it was, the price went from being close to 20k to 3k, it was without a doubt one of the most difficult things that I have ever experienced and as an investor without a doubt it was the most difficult one, anyone using any kind of leverage basically lost everything, those that sold their houses or cars to invest were ruined and only those that were 100% convinced about the future of this market remained in it while the rest left and most likely never comeback, however for the few that survived this brought them a lot of benefits, as for example the current decrease in the price is nothing for those which went through such a brutal crash.

Many people invest not from cold funds so they are not prepared to lose it, besides that many novice investors do not understand market cycles and do not understand managing portfolios well. I still remember the time when the prices of ETH and BTC were the cheapest since 2018, will the next bear market reach its lowest values like 2018 again?

With me, until the end of 2018, I did not believe that the bear market could last so long. Then I was sure that it would last 3-4 months at the longest and prices would start to rise again. With the bull run lasting so many months, it seems impossible for the market to collapse so badly. Fortunately, we do not have such sharp drops in prices now, so even if we enter the bear market, the losses will not be as large as they were in 2018. Back then, I really thought it was the end of cryptocurrencies.

that's the horrible moment in my life.  I thought that if i will be loosing everything caused by that. I were holding so many altcoins. that makes me feel that if i need even to stay away from the crypto from sometimes until the market will recover again.
That's the worst experience in my life. The crypto bearish market was really affecting people's mentalism when it came to the big bearish trend and this is also destroying so many people in the market.
I remember that so well when that happened.

Looking at the bear market of 2018, it seemed that there would never be a bull run in the market again. I remember that I sold 1 ETH for $88.
OP has highlighted staking in his question. Those who staked at that time were definitely at a loss but those who staked and forgot about it. And those who forgot have now made huge profit.

That was one of my worst experience but I’ve learned a lot from it and what I did in the last dumped I was able to buy at the bottom because I already have the knowledge on what to do if the market crashes again. If you see dumped price, that can be a good opportunity to buy so don’t panic and stay focus on your goal because the market will always rise especially with Bitcoin and good altcoins.

Majority of the shit projects also allows staking options, so if you are planning to invest in a project you need to think about the long term feasibility and how long they will built the project and if you think that the project will survive for the next 5 years then you can invest in them and start staking them. It has its own risk and whatever you do follow the project updates all the time.

Of course, the bear market experience that occurred in 2018 will not be forgotten, because at that time I had no experience in the crypto world.
So the drastic price drop when it made me panic and stressed, imagine the assets that I own the estimate drops very much. Especially when I used
capital from a bank loan, you can imagine how scary it was at that time. But slowly I started to understand how the crypto world works, so if this year
there is another bear market like in 2018, I'm much more ready to face it. Although I'm pretty sure what happened in 2018 won't happen again this year,
because many institutions have started to enter the crypto world, this makes the market less volatile as happened in 2018. My advice if there is
a bear market, don't panic, all we need to do is stay calm and just hold the potential coins we have. Don't even think about selling the coins we have
at a low price, I even suggest buying more potential coins during a bear market. So if the bull market finally comes, we can make big profits.

Bear market was a very bad thing for sure. Full with FUD, FEAR, PANIC sell , DUMP everywhere. the last time i have seen that bunch of FUD happened to the market at the same time. I hope that time will never come back again soon. this makes so many newbies are feeling distrust with the crypto market. They are feeling that if the whales are only eating their money. This is the worst time to think about that. The last time of big bearish market was around first quarter of 2020.
We will not see that again soon.

The bear market that I am currently facing is not as bad as it seems, even though the price cannot fly high, at least the trust of the people and the cryptocurrency community has increased quite high compared to the bear market in 2018. Even though after 2018 we are back facing a bear market as it is today, it does not make us afraid of losing. cryptocurrencies forever, because we believe cryptocurrencies can continue to grow under negative market pressures, this has been proven in the past few years.

What I felt when 2018 was very bad, I really believe in those who think that this condition is the end of the cryptocurrency market. I withdrew all my existing assets in the market with a fairly high minus, after that started looking for a new job, but sadly everything they say that bitcoin is doomed is just a thing to be used to scare. They are very lucky to get cheap prices, whereas we have to sell cheap. it was the first and last time I wanted to experience it, I don't want this to happen again in the future.

Isn't this already happening right now? Slowly the bears are gaining power and you can see that BTC loses is strength over time, ETH is back under 3000$, my chart says we are heading for a new bear market but I have confidence because of mass adoption rate, whales and millionaires around the world are taking advantage of every dips, which is a good thing.

November 2018 - April 2019 precisely was the time when FUD was raining down as if it will never end.
You will feel dreadful to the point of selling out because of the negativity being fed all over the internet and that includes social media and streamers.
I had to sell some Bitcoin back then to pay for bills even though it was against my will. If you need it, sell it and just get over it. But it does hurt.  :D
That includes other coins that I pulled out because I don't want to sell that much of my Bitcoin with high expectation for a bull to happen.

Just like this time when bitcoin is dropping a lot from 60k to the 33k drastically. The same story may come again when bitcoin will be going down so fast. People are selling more and more bitcoin and panic sellers will be following it. This time bitcoin gets another dump again which was a very bad for the crypto market. In my opinion that if altcoins must leave from the bitcoin domination and stand by itself but it's quite impossible to do that. Staking was profitable when you are not care so much about the price in fiat value.
You will be earning more tokens instead of fiat money.

a very bad experience considering what happened in 2018, as if I was facing a bear market for the first time of course I panicked and couldn't make decisions properly, I almost left cryptocurrency, but I think here is my path, I finally survived until now it feels relaxed facing the current bear market. even I think they are quite ready to face the bear market, this year's panic with 2018 is very different.

hopefully the experience in 2018 will not repeat itself lately crypto is getting better, we hope that in the future crypto will be even better and can be accepted all over the world, amen.

Knowledge is gained only from bitter experience, I also had a chance to conduct a bear market with some alts, I will not make such a mistake again. As soon as I see signs that the market is going down, I go into stablecoins, this always works well for me, because I can always buy at a lower price later. Do not be greedy, do not believe in one coin, and not wait for it to make you rich, these are all illusions. Take profits when you have the opportunity to do so, and a bear market will always provide you with great earning opportunities when you have stablecoins available.

2017 Bitcoin experienced a Fomo and there was a Pump from $ 1000 to $ 20000 more,
of course it was a great achievement of Bitcoin, but unfortunately many people bought at the price of $ 20000 and that was the peak,
2018 Bitcoin experienced a tragic dump, many holders who feeling frustrated and not strong.

Strategies in a bear market need to be really clear. If you are just looking at the trends that are taking place, and they are almost dead products, the risk of the investment is inevitable. Personally, when I was going through 2018-2019, I also made a lot of mistakes when I only looked at others to make decisions without researching and evaluating them myself. So I think newcomers always need to improve their knowledge of the market to be able to adapt to the daily changes. At this stage, I think staking stablecoins also brings good returns for the investment.

I feel bad remembering that time, the day was crypto is in doomed and many people become hopeless. But I was then feeling regrets for not thinking about the future of crypto as I was influenced by my emotions and selling my asset rather than buying more.

However, I wasn't going to compare it now. The market even looks better even during the bear season as prices never are that bad and worse trend than before. Honestly, I was glad to see the changes.

Being greedy is a normal thing for humans and you are not the only one that missed the selling opportunity so don't down yourself too much. If you have only waited for one more year, it would be a blessing in disguise because on the year 2021, there was a new bull run that comes. You could have earned better than the 2017 bull but it's nice to hear that you are still profitable despite what happened.

It's only not acceptable if you have sold at a loss. Op ask if how does a bear feel. I would be lying if I say that it feels so good. Common sense op, bear means prices are falling down. It feels really bad when your in this situation.

Anything in cryptospace that includes investing was a bad idea back then.  ;D It's all FUD north and south and you will have a hard time to buy anything, what more with staking. It took a year before it became a normal volatile movement again, it's too stagnant that you will doubt anything even trading.
Another impact of that slow straight movement was the urge to look for new projects. I doubt something survived that was released on that time.

The 2018 cryptocurrency market cannot be compared to the current situation. Over the past few years, capitalization has increased enormously and the market has stabilized strongly. The 2018 bear market was much more brutal, at least at the beginning of the year. At the moment, everything is a lot milder because we have many more big players in the market like Tesla and Microstrategy. I think the current bear market will be much smoother and shorter.

There is such a possibility. I'm not sure that these values will be extremely low. For example, people expect bitcoin at $10,000 and ETH at $1,000. I'm not sure we'll ever see such prices again, at least I'd like to hope so. In any case, the investment portfolio has to be ready for any development. If it goes up, we take profit, if it goes down, we buy and wait for growth.

Free money should always be available. Many newbies use all their money to buy a particular set of coins and wait for growth, and when the fall comes, they can do nothing, because they spent all their money to buy assets. They would love to buy cheap coins, but they just don't have the money to do it.

Another mistake follows from this. When newcomers buy coins during the bull run, they start to get cheaper. These investors then sell these coins at a loss and use the money to buy other coins that they think will go up.

I doubt that we could have that type of fall again. I am not saying that we will never have that kind of fall, but not from this price. We had a huge fall like that only because we also had a huge increase and that makes sense, if you go from 10k levels to 68k levels for a long year, then eventually it will come down.

Right now, we haven't gone up at all and doing alright, in order for us to go down 50% or so, we need to also have a big increase. The current situation is stable, it goes up a little bit and goes down a little bit and that will continue to happen for sure, I am not expecting anything else to happen for the time being, at least not for a while.

That's true and for sure we all wish the best for cryptocurrencies,
when talking about cryptocurrencies as a whole it is getting better in the sense of experiencing good development,
but for the current crypto market conditions, I think it's still not really stable, it's still up and down

The current market is very different even though market correction zones are inevitable, but I agree that many differences make a bear market tragedy like 2018 impossible to repeat. The crypto market has received support from the great whales and the Russian invasion has adopted Bitcoin widely in some parts of the country.

It really felt bad. Real bad. A lot of people lost a good some of money considering the then All Time High bitcoin attained. It was a terrible feeling I tell you

2017/2018 was a year so unbearable for cryptocurrency at large leading to failures and unachievable desires for many projects even with the ICO strategies.. well personally it was a hell to me in way that I sold all my ETH, BTC at a very cheap rates without knowing that the market will survive the situation at the moment. But today take a look at the market fully recovered and gain more strength than before.

The bear market has taught me a lesson never to take strong decisions at the wrong time but exercise patient.

I won't be afraid anymore if I face the next bear market because I already felt stupid when I faced a bear market in 2018. The bear market I experienced in 2018 was terrible they even thought cryptocurrencies would be wiped out, I also had the same thought, I had time to leave cryptocurrencies at least I've been trying to find a new business for more than 6 months, and the results are nothing like cryptocurrency, I'm back here, because everything they say is just a lie.

You would have made more if you refused to sell those tokens at a loss, the perfect way of becoming a winner in the crypto space is through holding, there was a time when Cardano was just 0.02$, its not easy to know which project will perform so well in future but using diversification will safe the day.

You don't have to worry about the next bear market, there are so many investors waiting and waiting to keep grabbing every opportunity that comes around through dips and corrections, there will never be another bear market as bad as 2018 again so simply because crypto adoption is now higher than that of 2018/2019 days.

i actually witnessed it but not that familiar with platform due to i was recently introduced to platform and cryptocurrency discussions. with my little experienced then it was so bad whereby there were lot of cries all over include someone who introduced me to the cryptospace people lamenting here and there.

I will always remember the bear market in 2018 because after all it will be a very important lesson for me. The lesson is that in the world of cryptocurrencies we all can't trust anything completely always read the news from a careful and trusted source. 2018 we were so easy to fool for people who say the end of cryptocurrencies has become a much bigger era of cryptocurrencies. I hope this will not happen again, because surely many people will regret being like me.

experiencing bear market is one of the things that makes you appreciate every profits you see in bear and how you should take profits. for people who experienced it i believe its so much of an experience that will help in the  bulls and bears times. the sad thing is those that didnt take profits.

I was not on this forum then, but I was well aware of the 2018 market crash which affected almost the entire cryptocurrency market. It was a devastating moment for most investors back then in 2018 staking was not so popular so not many coins were stocked in staking but a lot of heavy investors were holding large amounts of different coins which went from all-time to near zero within a couple of days.

Beside all that the level of understanding and investment in crypto has changed. I have a feeling people now know much more then in 2018. Staking in 2018 was kinda a new thing but know is something that most people of crypto know or use.

A bear market is always painful. No one loved the bear market because no one wanted to see their assets in the loss section. No matter if it is the 2018 bear market or the last bear market in 2021, no matter the time or even today, when our portfolio becomes red in a day, it could be 1% or even 10%. No one will like to see that, even if I am also not. But for a holder like me who loved to hold his money for the long term, they didn't care that much about the bear market. Just remember that the bear market is the time to keep patience. So just be patient and wait for the magical moment when you'll receive your desired profit. my overall opinion; others can be different. Thank you.

Yah i remember those days when bitcoin goes to 3800$ also eth and bch also was in 70$ and 80$ what a memorable day was that and i also hold some of those and now its all perfect for everyone will never see this tokens in this price anymore!

Yes, it was an unforgettable day. back then we don't know how much pressure we take to look at our portfolio.
many bitcoin where sold out around 20k$ area and keep rising but many altcoins die and never come back up

I have been in the crypto world since 2017 and at the end of 2017 I felt tremendous happiness because the price of bitcoin rose drastically in a short time, another thing that made me happy was that the money generated from the bounty was very large (very different from the following year). but the happiness didn't last long because the bull market was going very fast and it wasn't long before a terrible bear market hit the crypto market. Honestly at the time I thought the bull market wouldn't happen again and the bitcoin price wouldn't create any new ATH again, but 2021 made my mind change.

Last crypto market bear was almost 2-3 years ago and I then entered the crypto market as a newcomer. Also, the response to the eco was overwhelming but since i was new so i was unable to make a profit that year. However, the bear market could not be more sustainable as it collapsed very quickly due to a lot of scam schemes.

It was really a very sad day to see bitcoin drop drastically to touch $3800 but it was also a good moment for us to buy more bitcoins. But unfortunately, many of us are stuck and don't have more money to buy bitcoins and other coins. But luckily, after that, bitcoin rose again and slowly but surely, the price started to break through higher prices. Our portfolio that had fallen can rise again and we can start selling little by little because some coins are starting to rise high and make a new ATH.

It feels very bad, it's not something i want to ever repeat again if i can help it, but i know i can't and i also know it will happen over and over again but i still wish it doesn't. How will you feel when your portfolio is divided into 4 and you have just a quarter of it left. That is what the bearish season has to offer. Its a period where you feel crypto space is dieing and you have no power to help it

Staking returns might be affected when looking at the USD value side but your tokens won't stop growing in numbers, this is where many are wrong about staking, if you are earning a thousand tokens from a staking platform it doesn't matter if its 100$ in value or 1000$ what should matter is your real token grows higher in quantities.

The bear market feels absolutely terrible but you can't time the market. The best thing you can do is invest long term. Also, it helps if the coins you invest in have staking. I like staking Celo, NEAR, and ICP. All three of these are promising L1s that have superior tech than Ethereum and Polygon.

That was likely the first experience of a bear market and that was very shocking, panicking and also making us stressful enough. Moreover, I still held several coins and tokens that are supposed to rise up, but in fact vice versa, the token price keeps decreasing and touches the earth to the bottom and then become dead coins.
Yeah, there are many new projects that failed and then become dead coins.
However, for those who have experienced this bear market, I am sure that we are wiser enough right now and not following our ego. the last bear market becomes a lesson for us all to be more careful and smarter after that, moreover in holding the coins or tokens, deciding the target of price, and many others.

Back then EOS was a promising coin in their era. Around mid 2018 reach all time high above 20$ each but from 2020 till now the coin never break all time high. Unlike another major altcoin like ada,eth,bnb,doge,xrp,trx. The price of EOS never goes up again, it's really sad for investors who bought & hold till now

Without a doubt anyone that was part of the market back then will never forget the feeling of desperation as you watched your investment going down day by day and then once it seemed the bear market was over then the price began to go down once again, this demoralized a lot of people to the point I am sure the majority of the people that invested near the ATH never came back as their losses were so massive that they could simply not resist such a brutal bear market for long.

That was the worst situation in my life ever. I believe, anyone who experienced that situation, wouldn’t able to forget it in whole life. I was newbie and failed to decided what step should i take. Situation made me helpless as i was seeing my assets are losing price gradually. Those people are lucky who able to converted their fund into usdt and enjoying the dip later after bitcoin reached of its All time low.

Last 2018 - we really feel the bearish season and see the market is down badly which in fact, many opinions and speculations arises that was the end of crypto. Panic selling is too high.

But this 2022 - even me, I can't just tell that we are in a bearish market because the market is still healthy and prices keep on high. Totally different from what I'd felt before, and I believe that everyone feels the same as well. We can see that people are still calm and a reason why we never see the market drops badly.

It was so bad, but at the same time it was somehow a great opportunity for me to buy more Bitcoin. I did not panic that much, but of course kind of scared cause that was the lowest of Bitcoin since I invested the first one in 2017.
It is just another "crash" or another opportunity to buy more. It was a risky move for me to buy more, but it was worth it.

In fact, it seems very scary.No one person can be 100% successful in crypto market.Looking at the crypto market is really scary That market seems to be coming to an end.I bought BNB in 2020 at a very low price till now I am holding on to when the market of BNB was at 697$ and I did not sell it.I wonder why I didn't sell it. Since then I have been looking at the market to see when it will rise to the top. It is very difficult to be patient for so long.

Well, I believe most of us had felt worried and selling our coins as the majority have been thinking that this was the end of crypto. Fortunately, we were still given the chance and it recovers. But I'd never see this thing happen again as many people have been educated already and learned the past.
The year 2017 is proof to say that crypto is growing and it continues spread globally. Market TRUST has been developed already and we could assume that the market will be going better and better.

Last crypto bear market i feel sock and no hope at all, when i look at my altcoins i really have a big regret for not selling it, but for now i slowly recovering and i also do bounty hunting even if the payment allocation is low, i will hold because i still believe that crypto will become more great or popular in the future.

Crypto will never die and products such as good cryptocurrencies will continue to exist forever, except when the world has ended because cryptocurrency has been very well received by some people in this world and it is likely that everyone in this world will also like cryptocurrency if there is continuous news which is good for the crypto space.

at that time i thought it was all over.
i was desperate, but i persisted. if at that time i gave up then i would be sorry for not celebrating the party in 2022.

i was an ethereum holder at that time, you also know the price of ethereum at that time. and see now, i am satisfied with the result of my patience.

It was the scary time. Coz of the Greed, I wasted the opportunity to lie on Cash rich Crypto ecosystem in the Bull Market and finally I trapped into the scary web of Bear. Hopefully it should not come now and we should march with the Good pace.

The last bear market I faced was very ordinary, they are still developing, growing and running their project as if a bear market is not something to be feared anymore. Terrible things did happen to the bear market 2018 I think many of those who experienced the bear market for the first time in 2018 panicked and immediately left cryptocurrency. I think this happened because we just entered ATH in 2017 at the same time as the altseason, so we forgot that the negative market was also coming, which was something not many people expected at the time.

Not all be success with cryptocurrency actually some one panic bough doge coin on higher price and now back to lower price, I think many people reach much profit with BNB trough 2020 still lower price and wake up last years and reach almost $697 and fantastic profit earn by investor and holder, but always have trader or other investor loss with panic buying because they really trusted with BNB will reach higher price like ETH but just stuck on $697. I think still ability with BNB can up again after several time burning coin and looks effective how to make price keep stable on the top.

Patience is indeed one of the important things to have when we are in crypto,
I think at that time maybe many people started to give up and resigned to the conditions of the crypto market,
only people who have patience will get happiness

The reality is that many people don't have patience when investing in crypto, even though patience is the key to successful investing in crypto.
It's true when the bear market that occurred in 2018 more people gave up at that time, than people who are patient holding until the price
goes up again. I was one of those who gave up at that time, because when the bear market occurred in 2018, the market actually fell very low,
I thought everything would end. Turns out I was wrong at the time and I learned from the mistakes I made in 2018.

Entering 2022, the bear market is back, although not as bad as it was in 2018, but still there are people who panic and sell their coins at low prices.
Even though we can learn from the events in 2018, no matter how low the price of crypto goes down, it will always go up again. But this only applies
to potential coins, therefore now I am also more patient with bear markets. And holding some coins that I consider potential, because I don't want
to regret it a second time.

Many people can't forget the drastic decline in 2018 because the decline was beyond expectations, but the fact that the decline did not have any impact after the market recovered to reach ATH from the lowest candle, so we are prepared to face any market conditions even if it returns in a bear condition because for recovery purposes following.

that's right, i also lost my temper several times and as a result i lost some of my coins to save.
if only i was a little more patient, then the results i got would be greater than at the moment.

however i am still grateful, although there is a little sense of regret but i can still celebrate it.

It's not only patience we need but knowledge about which crypto we want to invest and ready to lose if we wrong.
I think that's the most important aspect about investing in cryptocurrency

more precisely the party is celebrated in 2021 because in 2021 ethereum is able to reach ATH, even if you can take advantage of the moment of price increases that occur twice a year in 2021 of course the party you feel will be more lively. but whatever happens there is no need to regret it because the most important thing is that we must continue to invest in order to get the maximum profit in the next phase of the bull market.

2018 bear market was awful for me, prior to that I have invested in many ICOs and most of them just use the opportunity to fold up. I learnt a lot from that experience and I am currently being cautious so I don't get a repeat.

It was without a doubt an unforgettable experience, and while it was terrible at the time it has also helped us in our development, and what better example than the decrease in the price we have seen since bitcoin reached its ATH of 69k? While those that are new to the market are worried about the decrease in the price, for those that went through the 2018 crash this is nothing, and if anything we are optimistic about a speedy recovery as the market is in a relatively good shape now compared to the state it happened to have back then.

At that time in 2018 was when I learned the most about the markets, because I dedicated myself to reading a lot about market speculators and how they did to face bearish movements and trends, at that time for many investors they believed that the BTC was going to rise for December, in fact many bought BTC to sell in December and at that time the market did not rise, the market remained in a cool zone and what it did was go down a little more, however the lesson of this is that the movements of BTC they usually occur in around 4-5 years to see a fluctuation either in a bullish or bearish sense, this is what I have understood so far, it should be noted that I have not yet been able to predict at this time what may be happening in the BTC market.

For altcoins, it would be a hell of a time and I am not surprised that people would feel the same back in those days. Although I am more of a rational person than emotional, it still hurts to think that my portfolio is not doing great lately.
Good thing I remember I was investing in Bitcoin and not another shitcoin in the market.
God, those losses that day...

The bearish market in 2018-2019 is because there was a bullish market before that.
I remember at the end of 2017, bitcoin price was skyrocketing and that was the sign of the beginning of bullish market.
In 2021 happened as well, and now in 2022 we may expect the bearish market.
Staking when the market bearish is not profiting because the price of the coin will going down, better to hold it in stable coin like USDT or BUSD.

For me, the most important thing is if you are willing to HODL out through it all regardless of what your wallet $ balance is reading because you believe that the market will return and you must have accumulated more from your staking overtime plus your initial balance which will make a good profit. The 2017-'18 bear market was different for me cos I was just knowing crypto but this time, I know better and will go all the way HODLing.

Seriously the near market was not really funny because people really lost money, but also it gave some people opportunity. Like me now during the bear market I was able to accumulate lot's of coins because I was having extral funds with me then, which I used to buy bitcoin and some other altcoins which uptill now am still holding some of the coin I bought with it so to me the bear market was at my advantage because it gave me opportunity to buy coins at a very cheap price.

Staking tokens with a high APR. Depending on if the project is legit or not a scam you either keep the tokens or ditch them right away.
A couple of good ones that I'd keep are LOOKS, SOLACE, and BEETS.

In that case, I don't think bitcoin will be hit at a low price, crypto in general is experiencing a major correction, but bitcoin can't be reached to a low hit, this indicates that bitcoin's journey in the market has surpassed any major trouble points, even if seen at the beginning of the emergence of bitcoin, they are really considered trash, but the subsequent development of bitcoin really proved itself to be a role model coin for others, and now the reaction that occurs to bitcoin, will be automatically followed by other coins on the market, both positive and negative reactions

As a newbie at that time, I felt that it would be the end for cryptocurrency.
Started in 2017, I saw what happened to 2018 as a newbie. Now I'm calling that year "A year of Hell". Right now, it is the worst year that I've seen in crypto.

Coins going down, investors lacking confidence in investing at that time. People are panicking and a negative news that is being spread in the internet will make Bitcoin even go lower and altcoins will follow it. Market can be manipulated easily at that time. If you are there and you are a newbie, you will feel the feeling that this might be the time that cryptocurrency will end. On the other hand though, I know that those experts and has been in crypto for a long time see that 2018 crash as an opportunity for them to accumulate more. Now they are the ones who are happy because they are the ones who got the most profit.

I don't know if there are but if you bought Bitcoin in the peak of 2017 at $20,000, tried to held it until now then you doubled your money in 5 years. In crypto, this is very long considering how volatile crypto is but still doubling your money is better than losing some of your capital after 5 years.

those have with the identification of variable of crypto token generation and the duration of partisanship. as considering aspects or factors of level of affluencies as investors growth on returns with the positive consequence on decision as managing uses of capital with the plan on investment as entrance into the field of business of the crypto finance.
those leads with the phenomenon as might the uses of option shifted with the frame field of center-periphery as showing of difference between those of early adopter choice of option then becoming ones of uses with the expends later of laggard investors as lives within the periphery domestic as request with the repetitiveness on consequence as the decision on expending limit of frequency within distance following formulation of the earlier investors strategy.

wasn't a pleasant experience. some friends sharing their experiences with me, i felt i should not invest in crypto. experiencing some bearish market myself, raises some level of doubt. but for the fact that the bitcoin market survive it, gave some level of hope. hope of investing in the future. i believe this is the falling and rising of any investment. it has its deep moment that will define if it will withstand the test of time. seeing the value of some coin drop to nothing is scaring. but their rising is hopeful.

The long HoDL is great but you need to understand that the coins you are holding will survive the bear market. I have seen projects that drops their project half way once the bear movement is in full flow because they know that it is impossible to make a recovery. So make sure you follow the project carefully if you are planning for the long term.

The rest of the major coins, there is nothing to worry as you will be able to hold them for the long term and with POS being the trend even though i am not a huge fan of it, you can stake the coins during the bear market and then reap the benefits later.

2018 is considered the worst year in crypto history, I still get scared every time I think about it. I had to sell most of my assets at the time because I thought the market was over and the bitcoin bubble had burst. And now we're in a bear market again, I don't know if history repeats itself but the past taught me a big lesson so if 2018 repeats I wont sell any assets and determined to hold them to the end.
History has shown me crypto and bitcoin will bounce back in the long time as long as you hold the potential coins you don't need to fear.

In 2018 is a bear market that is quite difficult for me, during the decade the period many trade that I did just sold, because the bear market came very quickly and came out so long in the market, even I personally almost left Crypto at that time, was The hardest year for me at that time, for now I chose a potential dikoin bet such as Ethereum, BNB and other potential coins

I think it's terrible like the crypto market is over. For me, who's new to the crypto world, I'm just waiting for a miracle until the bull market arrives

I was also in the bear market at that time, almost all the coins I had could not be used, strangely at that time we did not feel how the ATH achievement was after the bear market had fully recovered, fortunately at that time I took quick steps when market conditions were almost stable, worst experience of everyone who has been in crypto at that time, even a lot of people leave crypto when things don't go according to expectations, that's when crypto is abandoned by many

Yeah this could come anytime but we have experienced that the last bearish market that happened in the 2018 has been making crypto dumped so hard and it takes years for the crypto to recover again from the bearish market. I would like to know how long we are in the bearish market like that. This was happening since last year but if we are still always doing this performance and 30k for bitcoin is not impossible anymore. The crypto market looks so weak at this time without any strong support.
So many people intend to sell their tokens to the market

I think no one will forget that time.It was really hard and important not to sell off your assets.Those who managed to wait out remained in a good plus, but many, unfortunately, began to accumulate their capital from the beginning.

Bearish market repeat itself, every four years. if you are to keep coins intact you should not allow the bear market to affect the time you for keeping your coins. When time goes up and we learn how to manage. 2018 experience in cryptocurrency and this year experience is quite different from other years because we have experience more time of bear market. The fear you will have is when you are dealing with coin of little potential and bear market will affect it potential

When a bear market occurs of course we must feel panic, especially we invest in new altcoins of course this is a big mistake, but for altcoins of course we are a little safe even though we have to wait until the market stabilizes again, but at this time such things we have often felt and took advantage of this moment to hold some of the top altcoins that are currently experiencing a decline, and later the big profits we will definitely feel.

The last bearish market for me was when BTC reached almost $2k, it was after the $20k ATH, which was expected to happen in December 2018, 2019 to finally reach a new ATH but it did not happen, in that period what happened in that market was a big buildup and we were all hoping that it would at least get back to $20k or a little more. However, at the moment I feel that there is still an uncertainty in the market, and with the fundamentals of Covid-19 and the war between Russia and Ukraine, since the movements of the markets usually stagnate and sometimes tend to fall due to panic .

I can never forget that time, everything was so bullish when bitcoin hit $20k but after that, the market is slowly going into a bearish mode. So now, I would not be surprised if bitcoin will continue to dump and maybe $10k will come again, I'll be glad to welcome it so I could accumulate.

Their is no prove for that and no body knows when bear market wants to happen the bear market is something can see any time the market it flowing well and when we have lost alot, some reasoning is not acceptable for the time and how many bear time that makes bull time, let us know that this crypto of thing no body is perfect

Thinking back to what happened in 2018, I think it was the end of crypto. When bitcoin hit 20k, everyone expected bitcoin to hit 25k before turning down, but no, bitcoin kept falling below 3k and causing the whole market to crash. I was in a panic at that time, that year I lost everything.

For those who have gone through 2018, what is happening now is nothing too scary and they are willing to wait for bitcoin to drop below 10k as you would expect. It will be a rare chance that we can own bitcoin at the lowest price, I think if that happens then this will be the last time we see bitcoin at 10k$ .

I hope it won't happen again, the crypto market is more mature now, never had a reason to fall for a long time except what happened recently to luna and ust.
It's ironic but it's not impossible that we can see a bear market in a long time like 2018.

Whales can manipulate the market, Someone that have big funds, very large funds. They are not Investors but have the power to make the price goes up or down.

yes at this time we can only hope that the bear market will end soon, but as we all know the market is getting worse, where most cryptos have experienced a significant decline, like what happened to terra luna recently, but I think the  currently this can be fixed by manipulating the market where several people who have large funds work together to be able to increase the purchase value of coins in crypto, with many requests the selling value will automatically increase.

How about those people who wanted to buy more coins though. It is not just all about those strong holders. If Bitcoin was like around millions back in 2017, I might not have been able to buy my first few coins.
Sure there are plenty of coins in the market, but I ain't wasting my time for some another shitcoin that would not even last for another 24 hours.

After the bear market will come a bull market and only the best projects will be able to survive which are really necessary for people which bring something new like https://twitter.com/GulfCoin_/status/1526498887376183298 which provides digital payment solutions, and financial inclusion to the world and is useful for people.

Honestly, many can't appreciate how the last crypto bear market went by. We can say that many had lost due to panic selling, many become hopeless while seeing the market going down badly, and many had quit.  But if we compared it by now, it looks like people had realized already and controlled their emotions. The price won't go deep because there is no panic selling being made, people had learn to hold as they believe that the market will bounce back high. They are actually buying now, not selling, unlike in the past where there are more selling scenarios than buying.

it was bad, evreybody cried like babies, altcoins dropped %90 then dropped %90 again, some of them not recovered

staking has always been a bad idea if it locks your altcoins for too long anyone should avoid that, i’m sure that any veteran when having any idea for staking they gonna see the locking period first and then make decision of staking afterwards.
honestly holding will suffice, staking sometimes could turn around your supposed profit into some unrealized lose just because it has really bad timing that it locks your altcoins when you needed to sell it, staking could always become such a disaster if not planned properly

2018 was the real deal that made people today the strong hands ever and that made a sentiments that everything gonna be alright hence everyone survived that market crashed and moved forwards towards the bull seasons after. This month market crashed as well give people new to this industry on how really market works and that it will give life lessons about crypto.

The cryptocurrency hey market will never be lost it will gain popularity as it goes on but I wonder what kind of questions that will last forever in the world The stingy currency has gained popularity in all countries. I hope people have accepted it very soon and everyone in the world likes it.

We have seen worse bear markets than the present one. That 2008 crypto winter was the worse and became a marker and benchmark for bearish markets. So every other one pales in its sight

To be honest, bear markets are the best time for staking. You get much more coins or shares by staking than in bull times. When the next bull market starts, your staking rewards become really valuable. To be successful in the crypto market you have to think countercyclically, the last 10 years in crypto have shown me that. This is exactly the time, like now, when the foundation is laid for big profits in 1-2 years.

During the fall of the market it is the best time to buy toknes. But the problem is that nobody knows how long will be a fall and what will be a bottom of the market.
Also during the fall of the market not all the projects will be able to survive.

yes I agree with you if now is the right time to buy some coins that have potential, but I think if you buy and hold altcoins that have strong fundamentals such as ethereum, binance, solana and polka dots, then you don't  to worry about when the market is crypto will improve, because the coin that I recommend has a great opportunity to grow in higher in the long run,

Same here mate. I thought that my investments in crypto will be over already and that there's no way to make profits anymore. But when i realized that the market is not just being bullish, but also bearish, so i learned to hold my coins despite of the continuous price fall backs. That made me a better investor right now. Bearish season is just temporary, the market will return to be bullish after a couple of months. I've learned a lot from those, the reason why i'm still very optimistic with the current bear market these days.

It was indeed a roller coaster ride. The market reaches its new ATH all of a sudden, and then drop the market value in the next few days. Those who were not prepared have totally lose their funds, and were not able to take advantage of the opportunities during bear season. Mine was definitely like that, i was able to take profits, and lose somehow. But no worries as i come to understand that the crypto market is like that. We just need to be prepare what circumstances this unpredictable market will bring. In the end, those who can endure the losses in the ling run will always be the winner in the end.

Here but they can't prove that no Saran here knows what happened at that time from here but going to the feather market here can be from any direction in RRB state but here anytime the market will flow well again some time the market will be very No one can say when the market will go down, but the currency is gaining popularity as the days go

If 2018 repeats itself, I'm sure we'll just focus on bitcoin and bitcoin. But I think it won't happen again, very difficult. The luna crash sent the market into a state of panic, but the market couldn't fall any further. Now everyone is waiting for bitcoin to drop to 10k to buy, surely nothing will happen.

Now it is very important to buy coins with potential. But the most important is to evaluate this potential to find the right coin for investment which will be able to survive during the fall of the market.

The most important is to find the future potential of the coin. During the fall of the market people lose their attention to the coin and stop investments.
It means that many new coins do not have enough funds for development and are not able to realize all planned ideas.

I agree with you even though so far the market is still in a down condition but the downtrend is not as drastic as some time ago,
so I don't think conditions like 2018 can happen again,
We'd better see what happens to the market in the future

although so far the crypto market is still in a bearish zone, but I don't think the price of crypto will go down like last 2018 I predict the price of BTC will drop below $30k and above $25k, which means bitcoin's decline  not occur below $25 k, but whatever everyone's predictions let's see together where the price of crypto will go in the next few months.

Most of the people in the crypto market enjoy only the moment when its already a bullish season, as they can sell and make profits. And some even make wrong decisions to buy more coins hoping that the value of those coins will still keep on surging. But here comes the bearish season where everyone thinks the moment of losing, when in fact this is the best time to build our wealth trough buying and hodling those high potential coins.

I think the last bear market was definitely hard for me as it comes from a very bullish trend and ends the market very bearish unexpectedly. But i never thought that crypto will be over, as i see new opportunities to earn when i started buying again at their very affordable prices. That made me realized that every season in crypto brings a lot of opportunities to earn.

To be in demand for a long time the coin must be useful for people.
That is why it is important to check what products the coin offers for people and for what benefits it can be used.

well many so called market analyst has projected that maybe the market gonna be down further again until btc reaches $12K considering its cycle of having correction as massive as 82% in the past.
although I just don't wish that to happen but that sometimes makes sense since it just seems that bitcoin is repeating its cycle again and again, although the most disastrous thing definitely the chance that altcoins are gonna be naturally eliminated by the market allowing only 15% left kept alive just like in the past .

I'm very sorry, if I remember 2018, at that time why didn't I think of saving some Bitcoin value until now, Of course I hope this year can repeat itself where Bitcoin reaches its lowest point like it ever happened.

Now cryptocurrency is actively developing offering new tools and products for people.
Cryptocurrency becomes more popular and in demand in adoption of digital assets grow.

It is good that cryptocurrency is actively developing during the fall of the market. Cryptocurrency becomes more simple and comfortable to use.
But not all the projects will be able to survive during the fall of the market. Project must be useful for people to survive.

Not all the projects are actively developing. Especially it is difficult to develop the project during the fall of the market.
Not many project will be able to survive during the fall of the market.
That is why investments are very risky and many people stop investing.

The huge panic of course we certainly feel, although we already have experience but if the sharp decline continues to occur then we cannot feel comfortable with the current situation, because all the assets we invest will definitely experience a decline and we do not know fully that when this bear market will end, if there is no bet that we do at this time of course it is still safe and wait until the bull run occurs again.

The fall of the cryptocurrency market depends on economic situation in the world.
Now all the market falls and many peopole stop investing at all.

Now all markets are unstable.
Many people stop investing and lose their money. And now it is very difficult to say how long this fall will last.

In my opinion, if the crypto market has started to increase and the price of coins has started to rise, that's where the bear market will end, but for now it has not materialized because the crypto market is still very concerned, where almost all coins are still experiencing a decline, and until now it hasn't there are signs that the market will recover,

The price of cryptocurrency depends a lot from the economic situation in the world.
When all markets falls many people stop investing at all and sell all their assets in panic.

You have to study the influence of the crypto market only from supply and demand, so whatever happens in the economy doesn't mean it will affect crypto, just look at the time when covid-19 didn't have a significant impact on crypto even though at that time gold and stock prices had fallen, but crypto survive in all circumstances of the country economy.

I think if the crypto market has increased again and the price of coins has grown again I think that the bear market has ended, and has entered the bullmarket zone, and this is the moment that crypto holders are waiting for the most because they can sell the assets they already hold at the moment,

Now there is a bear market but nobody knows how long it will last.
Bear market is the best time to start investments and buy the tokens for the best price.

I remember that the last bearish trend of BTC was in 2018 when it was almost $20k, and from there it went down, then it reached $12k and then 10k, then the lowest that BTC fell at that time was almost $2k, but it was because there was a previous bullish trend and a very fast Market Distribution stage, where many fell into the trap of selling very high and then had to sell out of panic to lose everything, but of course many expected the price of btc to fall very low, then after that the accumulation stage happened again until what we are seeing now, of course it is my way of seeing the market.

Not all the projects will be able to survive during the fall of the market. It is very difficult time for the development of the project because people lose their interest to the industry and investing.

Bear markets can last a long time. I know, it’s tough, watching your investment continuously drop in value. If you’re holding onto positions now and are waiting for them to go up, forget about them. Focus on building something or learning a new skill - it’s a better use of your time. If the market is destined to go back up, it’ll happen once the remaining bits of enthusiasm in the space have evaporated.

; Nobody knows how long the bear market will last.

Checking out the market every now and then could really be that stressful or something that could really give out some anxiety or bothering up yourself thats why it would really be wise on having some

break on seeing the market once in a while but the urge of checking it out is something that cant really be avoided and i do know the feels thats why we do keep on checking out it out despite of the
feeling that it do gives.Bear market could neither be long or short depending on the market condition or within the community which are the main ones who do make out significant
movement of the market and this is something that cant really be determined on when reversal will happen.

For the matter of how long it will last, I think that kind of thing is always difficult for anyone to know because it is more about predicting the future whose certainty is always difficult to predict. So as long as the market is still bearish, I think it's always better to take advantage of it in terms of investing or buying as many good coins as possible before the next pump happens because the dump and pump is always closer now.

Bear markets are devastating for traders because of the dumps of coins. It's also one of the best time to buy coins, whales can bagged as much coins as possible during the bear market and they make sure not to lose their assets in the bear market. Like the last bear market that happen this month, were we witness the sudden dump in price of Terra Luna which dumps from $114 to a $0. Those that invested in Luna for the purpose of long term are in big lose and some even got their trading account ls liquidated. So a trader should have patience in the bear market and also invest what he or she can afford to lose.

Without development it is impossible to survive. During the fall of the market many investors are desapointed and there are not enough investment funds for developing.

That is why everything is difficult during the fall of the market.

Sprry for delete

I think there is a point in taking advantage of market conditions like this, or the bear market is a very good time to invest and at this stage you need to be very careful so that people don't choose Altcoins that will make them lose their money completely.

The fall of the market is the best time to buy the tokens of new and prospective projects for the best price.
But it is necessary to have a big experience to evaluate the future potential of the coin because many projects will not be able to survive during the fall of the market.

Now many people are looking for new and prospective for investment projects.
But not all the projects will be able to survive during the fall of the market that is why it is necessary to have experience to evaluate the potential of the coin.

It's very frustrating hodling coin in a bearish market, the dump in the price of cryptocurrencies in 2018 was indeed was discouraging then, though it's inevitable based on the price attaining a new ATH in 2017 the aftermath of the massive pump resulted to the bearish market condition  however the present bearish market is taking too much time, a temporary pump was experience by crypto this week I taught it will be the era of a massive pump unfortunately the price had dumped.

You said it right but the problem starts when the investor is too emotional and thinks that this is still not the right time to buy. And that is because there will be a lower price than they have to wait before everything increases.
The bear market is there to give us the chance to buy as many altcoins as we can but people do forget that it's also the time to get more bitcoins while it's cheaper than what it has achieved for its all time high. That's always being forgotten because everyone seems to be focused on alts gain.

The bear market is the most awaited moment to buy cheap altcoins but we have to buy them at different prices and we have to order at the lowest price compared to the current market price, because the market can go down at any time if it hasn't reached the time for a bullish moment.

Bear market is the best time to buy tokens of new and prospective projects for the best price.
The most important is to evaluate the future potential of the project and find the best project for investment.
To do this it is necessary to constantly monitor the market.

The bear market made many traders to started panicking in 2018, because the price increased higher at a moment and decreased within few days in the market. Last crypto bear market really made many traders to understand the bear market very well, and whenever the price is decreasing in the market than to hold and start watching the market price to increase higher before he or she can supply to achieve a good income from the market. I think what happened in 2018 in crypto bear market is about to happen in this 2022 because the price is rising and falling in the market, which is a sign that we are about to enter bullish market soon.

Yes, DCA also suits it if you buy at a different price. Actually, it is, and people who have seen the low price would probably think that there's a need for them to wait for some more because they've got a very low price to wait before buying.
You just buy whenever it suits your decision and if the price is right, you all gonna do is buy it and much better in different price because if it's low now, possible that it could be lower by tomorrow or so.

It is true here but although the market is still in a downward trend here, the downward trend is not so much here as it was some time ago, but here it is thought that a situation like 2018 could turn around again.  But no one knows what is going to happen in the market in the future but hopefully it will be very good in the future.

Been through 2014-2016 as well and I can tell you no matter what people tell you about staking is that in bear markets most coins just completely dissappear.  Whats the sense of trying to earn 10% when you lose 100% of your principle.  Don't worry so much about staking vs trying to retain capital.

The 2018 crash was terrible but shortly after I was unable to keep my little mining plot (not possible to call it a farm) I was summoned to start working on a crazy bitcoin fork project called parallelcoin, and in the two years or so that went on, I learned so much about proof of work and the bitcoin consensus, cryptographic, network, peer to peer and multicast protocols that I am now in hot demand in early stage startups and contractor stables... I am the most senior blockchain and systems dev in a company of 100 now.

I'm gladly buying bitcoins at 25% of my now quite generous income and I anticipate a slow but steady price movement back up past the 60k range over the next year and stacking popcorn and gas to cook it on as Davos Man stumbles in slow motion like the guy putting a stick in his front wheels meme.

CDBCs are going to be as successful as Continental Scrip and yes there is going to be a lot of war in the next two years while we are in a slow reversal from here, but brass and iron are going to be going cheap in some places too, for those times when one might need to shoot one's way out of a siege.

There will be a big shakeout in the "cryptocurrency" and DeFi markets and uses beyond collectibles will start to be applied by businesses.

Things may look bad right now but that's cos we all just got kicked in the nuts. The response to the nut kicking will be what makes the next round even more epically awesome. I personally am seeing a very high probability of even more local area sovereignty projects getting further than the last round, and for the reason that people realise that you can't have a government without a military.

Blockchains are part of the network munitions. It doesn't change anything that the USG had to walk back that classification of cryptography. It's a fact. Cryptography and game theory are both wholly military disciplines. "blockchains" are defensive network systems.

When William Gibson described "ice" his metaphor was based on neural jacks and back channel control of nervous systems. The real world equivalent is a blockchain, and you just can't hack it. That's been proven. The big myth that is being busted in this bear market is ungoverned introduction of smart contracts, and hopefully the death of "pegged assets" for a few decades, hopefully. It's pretty ironic that a man who broke a government peg that was not based on redemption is now trying to eliminate commodities from financials, and I bet that idiot is funding every moron like Do Kwon who dreams of algorithmic stablecoins and National Socialist Price Controls, and is about to get pie in the face as he has completely fallen on the other side of what made him so wealthy in the first place.

Fall of the market is very difficult time for all cryptocurrency industry.
Many people stopped investing because of the fall of the market.
Now economical situation in the world is difficult and all market falls but inflation continue to grow.

And anything that involves an inflexible, flat or deflationary supply rate is interesting :) That's how so many maxis are being minted in this last month. I'm not strictly a bitcoin maxi because I think the protocol can be improved but I also don't think there is many projects that actually achieve improvements and I'm not a lightning fan.

It was very bad. As far as I can remember all the coins went really bearish almost everything was just down to rock bottom it was only when bitcoin started to rise above 15-20k was when alts started to rise and people started making money. It always happens like this people make 20-30x when market becomes bullish and those same people lose 20-30x when market becomes bearish as well so this is a two way street and most of the weak hands leave the market in such times

I am not sure the entirety of the last bearish market, it was couple of months. The take home from the last bearish run  was that only the strong projects will survive, so many altcoins will die and never bounce back. While new projects introduced during the new bull session will thrive and give investors profits if they take due advantage. Do you know the biggest lesson? Nobody knows the next bull nor bear

The year 2018 was full of challenges for investors, as there was a sharp dump in the prices of currencies in the market and there were many scam projects, but this situation did not last long as the market began to recover in about a year or less, the good investor is the one who exploits the bear market period In investing promising currencies and making additional income from them during holding in the long term, staking is not a bad idea, although the income that you will get is not great at all, but it is better than losing.

I agree that now it is very difficult economic situation in the world but in such situation only the best and most useful for people projects will be able to survive.

It depends if you hold it for the long term then one should not worry but if you calculate it at the rate of the current market then it must be bad. I saw the last bear market but even I have not expected the market moves up again so aggressively so I am assured we should not be worried about the current bear market sooner or later market will also recover and boom so wait for it patiently. I must say staking is not a bad idea if you are planning for the long-term.

I think that condition of cryptocurrency market depends on economic situation in the world. When economic situation in the wold will recove the cryptocurrency market will recover too.

The economic situation in the world now is very difficult. More and more people lose their jobs. That is why bear market will continue because many people simple do not have money for investment.

If the comments I have read so far, from the people that experienced the bearish markets of 2017-2018 were so true, that means no cause for me to shiver from the coins I have in my portfolio. Am only thinking that this present bear market has hit the crypto market so hard not knowing that the crypto market has experienced and witnessed way more than this, which got everyone to question the existence of crypto

If economical crysis will continue the fall of the markets will last a long time.
Many people lost their jobs and inflation is very big. It is very difficult to say how long it will continue.

Most of the investors surely feel like its very terrible and everyone who has no patience will surely suffer from a big loss that time of bear market, but i tell you those who survive and hold thier crypto from year 2018 to year 2021 are having a big return or profits from thier holdings, so before its too late take time to realized and also take time to think back those time when you feel like hope is gone in crypto during bear market and also think about the people who are now millionaire because they hold.

In my opinion there may be some things we can work around during a bear market to make your investment more stable during a bull run but as long as we find a cryptocurrency project that has good fundamentals and a strong development team, then there is no need to worry/sell everything just because of the market. extended bear.

Yes. We all know that difficult times are ahead, but we also know that this is the time to be here. This is when the stake needs their stand, and now is when we need it. Together, we will get through this. And together, we will make sure that everything goes well.

I am into crypto since 2014, thing about staking is, it's so fragile, I used to stake several coins, in hope that they would provide autopilot income. Today that don't exist. Even these defi platforms, they get hacked all the time. I don't think there is anything surefire here.

Many people lost a lot of money because all market falls and economic situation in the world falls too.
People are waiting for the rise of the market because they want to continue to earn money on cryptocurrency.

Now economic situation in the world is very difficult and there is a big economic crysis.
Nobody knows how long the crysis will last but all markets continue to fall.

2018 was a bad year, just like 2022, but don't worry if you hold altcoins that have strong fundamentals,
then you won't lose, you just have to be patient and accumulate every time the price drops,
don't worry, we'll all go through the year of the bears.

It was like, this is end of my life as i lost a heavy amount of money then and i recognized that I'll never get them back. Still i can feel it as like a terrible nightmare. I didn’t have proper idea about what is bear market. After bitcoin pumped, i thought all is okey but then dumped again. Such thing keep repeated and bitcoin had been going more lower and hit ATL for that year. That's why never invest all money in crypto, you Should always have fiat besides, so that you can buy dip and take advantage

Now all market falls, even the price of the gold falls. It is necessary to wait till the recover of economy when markets will start to grow.

Even the price of gold falls. Now many investors lose their money and stoped investing.
Many people lost their jobs.

Many people stopped investing and many projects do not have enough funding.
In such situation it is very difficult to continue to develop and survive.

Quite expected considering that there are a lot of crypto coins out there that do not even have a single utility at all.
Some just are purely copy-paste of the previous ones for quick bucks of course and would just die out after time.
Top coins are mostly the safe plays right now.

During the last bear market this was all about ICO and this time the market is shed with NFT, play to earn tokens, Defi, and memecoins. Very few are real-time projects that have got a minimum viable product. It looks similar to the previous bear market, almost every coin have dropped drastically and the bounce of bitcoin will cause mutual growth forward. So people are into diversified buying a different altcoins.

The main problem now is that nobody knows how long will be a fall of the market.
Now the economic and political situation in the world is very difficult and nobody knows when everything will change.

Many people predict stagnation of the market which will last for a long time.
It means that market will continue to fall if economic situation will not change.

Now all market falls. The govements want to solve this problem and stablize the market. But still now no success. The fall of all economy continue.

Bitcoin reached the all time high of around $17,000 and crashed to as low as $4,000 which was around 23% of the the ATH. If we're to use that equation to determine what the ongoing bottom might be, it means we're going below $15,000 which is 23%, of the current $65,000 ATH at the moment. I hope it doesn't go down to that before we're good again.

Well, I think it's worth noting that BTC is currently trading at  21113$  which is much higher than it was in 2018, 2019 and even 2020. And to some extent, this is driven by fears of future regulation of cryptocurrencies. In fact, some people are so anti-cryptocurrency by the time they actually buy BTC in hopes of collapsing completely. So in a sense, it bears some resemblance to what we saw in 2018—the crypto bubble burst and the price plunged to much lower levels. But as you said, there isn't as much hysteria or panic involved here as before.

Maybe it can go below or maybe not, there are chances but still depends from how the investors and the traders will react to this current

market, if there are more risky traders and holders who likely buy this cheap coins, all those dumped coins will be hold and create good barrier.

though the chance also that fear will move weak holders to sell out and turn their back away from the market, you have to learn more before

concluding your investment decisions.

don't focus on the last bear market, focus on the bear market right now, and we know the Bitcoin price is really bottoming or determining,
because $19k to $20k is psychological support, and if it goes down, it will be much worse, focus and keep calm, hopefully Bitcoin can improve this month

I think that when you refer to the world economy it is due to the high inflation that the USA and Europe are currently suffering, in some way this has greatly influenced the BTC economy, for this reason it is one of the possibilities that has affected the BTC.

Another reason why I think that the BTC could have fallen to that point is because of the old whales that are from the BTC market that have not manifested themselves, in 2019 a large number of shorts emerged for the whales to enter the market buying cheap. The last reason I think it may be going down is because of the war in Ukraine and RUSSIA, many investors are scared and sell.

Fell like very good which is dream back on 2017 year! If i can got 2017 year buying opportunity then i would like to invest most to currency like btc and bnb. What was a profitable year 2017 because bounty, airdrop, new project investment everything was profitable. Maybe you miss the year 2017? Even now market goes to sleeping.

The problem is we cannot go back anymore, unless if you have a time machine, LOL.
2017 was year of buying opportunity but 2018 onwards before the recent bull run was a better year of buying because prices are cheap especially the coins you mentioned which is the btc and BNB.

Bounty isn't as profitable already like in the past, but you can still make money from bounty if you choose the right project and you are also patient enough.

Unlike back when the bounty era still giving a huge amount of profits, now you can still gain from those new projects

but the chance is very slim, there are many available bounty still, but the chance of those projects to pay is not the same with how
it works from the time bounties are really a good profitable ways to earn inside this market.

More on taking your time sorting out every opportunity and find the best qualified project to participate and hope that
the project will succeed.
