Bitcoin Forum

Hello bitcointalkers, I was wondering that When Bitcoin Evolved almost in 2009 when it was in cents and still it is only 13 years old, not even even adult if we compare it to the Human life etc. I know it sounds funny.
Also if we compare this to the Stock market, If I am gone wrong that might be at least 400 to 500 years old and still Woprd economy is around us..
So my point was that Bitcoin is evolving day by day with many bull and bear seasons, I want to say that Bitcoin first Bull market was almost in 2013 when it touched only 100 dollars and that was just big milestone and now Bitcoin is trading per second in only 100 dollars and that is just timing things.
So I am going to my main point and that is Bitcoin hit almost 70k dollars and that was just big and bigger milestone and currently it is just trading above 18k dollars. And in my opinion that is currently going in Bear Market. And that bear market will turn till Next halving and that might be in 2024 as per block data. So I was wondering that wether this bear market will be helpful for new people or not. Cause many people thoughts are different than old people in crypto. So I am preparing myself in Bear market so that I might be able to stand in next bull run that might be the biggest bull run for Bitcoin and that might be just all time high to almost 200k dollars as compared to 2021 Data.
I am writing this article so that big bitcointalk members that are since 2015 and have very very god knowledge in cryptocurrency and can advise me and many other people that are new.

Not sure exactly what you are getting at, but I think of it in long terms, don't worry about the short term markets. Take a look at what bitcoin is, and how it is evolving, and make your decision on whether or not you want to own some. For me, yes I like it in general, and I think it is worth having some, especially in light of how money in general is printed and invented out of thin air. And yes the merit system is weird, but unless you are doing sig campaigns, it doesn't really matter that much, so just post and have conversations, and hopefully you will eventually get some merits. But begging for some, even if you pretend you are not, isn't really a good look, and probably won't get you any merits.

Neither market sentiment is more important. Both are good opportunities for you though. You can buy cheap coins in a bear market & you can take profits in a bull market. We still have 4 year cycles in bitcoin now so you will have to be patient.

It’s impossible to time the exact bottom & exact top but anybody can tell when sentiment changes. Buy when low, sell when high. It doesn’t take a genius.

imagine there are 2 numbers to think about.. the market price that wiggles up and down.. which is speculation.. think of that as the ocean tide that has waves that go up and down

then imagine another metric of "value". this is the 'base sea level' which slowly over years goes up as more water stays in the oceans, and raises the base sea level slowly over the years

in 2010 the cheapest cost to get bitcoin on the entire planet(the base value) started at ~ $0.10 where it was CPU mining

in 2011 the cheapest cost to get bitcoin on the entire planet(the base value) started at ~ $0.20 where it was still CPU mining but more got involved..
then came GPU mining which was more efficient so it caused the difficulty to jump.. it also triggered the volatility of speculations.
the base value raised to about $2. but the speculation wave(tsunami) caused a $30.00 speculative price wave.
every ATH tsunami is a temporary event that causes the sea level to adjust and settle at a new level.. dont ever think of ATH tsunami waves as value or an amount the sea level should stay at, at that time..

so the CPU-GPU change sparked a movement of 100x price and a 8x base value change. so the price settled down nearer to the new value line again

the price in 2012 moved to $6 before the halving and $15 after the halving, where the base value beneath also raise, but not as much

but general sentiment of speculation pushed the price upto $100 due to media news about bitcoin. but the base value was ~$X0

in 2013 with more GPU mining brought the value up to $X0 and the price over $100..
then ASIC mining took over from GPU mining. causing the the base value to move to a couple hundred, but the speculative price moved to $1200 before settling down again

the base value moved slowly for a few years. as did the price.
where the 2016 halving moved the price form an average of $450 to $900.
then new gen asics which were more efficient cause and the development politics of an upgrade causing a win for big corporations wanting a feature, caused a speculative 2017 ATH

all im saying is
if you follow the history of big events/changes to bitcoin. and also calculated the most efficient mining costs on the planet

you can work out where the base sea level is.. and also calculate the most reasonable expensive mining costs on the planet you can work out the top limit of where the next ATH can possibly peak out at

in 2021 $70k was the top limit. there was no real chance of a $100k-$500k btc in 2021. because if everyone on the planet can mine for less.. why would they buy
but the base value waterline is no $0. its about $15k this year.

so by working out these things you can work out if your buying at a time of great value. or at a large premium of speculated large wave action

buying while cheap is always great time.. compared to this years $15k-$95k window of which the speculative wave action could have the price move within. you buying near to the base waterline amount is a great buy. dont expect $200k this year. the max is still only a bit under $100k but if you follow the history of the cycles of halving events and mining costs evolutions. you will see the potential future prices and value will be higher than previous years

If a newbie enters now and sees the BTC chart he will see that it has already been worth 70k and he will most certainly be scared. But in all this ups and downs, only the price has changed.

The fundamentals remain the same, the innovation behind it is the same, nothing has changed. Unfortunately the bear market is bad for newcomers to enter, but it is good for veterans to accumulate, as they know exactly this idea I said.

Is every thread that you'll publish next will be more or less mentioning merit? The behavior of creating threads and then leaving is honestly not liked by some members, you'll be ignored rather than merited.

Back to topic.
The bear and the bull season are equally important and very helpful on investment and trading strategies or evaluation. At times everyone gets bad results every season. Especially newcomers, their questions are almost like "why bear season?".People may try to avoid or get out of a bear market, but that must be in place so as not to create a market bubble, an opportunity for newcomers to enter, sessions where you may need a lot of rest from the monitor screen.

Contrary to what a lot of people think or expect, Bitcoins market value cannot keep
Increasing, there has to be "corrections".

The Bull and Bear markets are like Yin and Yang.

As mentioned above Bear markets are an opportune time to buy discounted Bitcoin, Bull
markets offer a chance to take profits, or spend Bitcoin.

If you're interested to have a good start with bitcoin then this current period is a good and advisable period to set in, buy the dip, hodl and sell when high, though you may need a little time to get this realised because the season is currently on dip and you meed enough patience to hodl enough to over one year advisably just in other to be close to a new ATH.


My advice for you is to ensure that you make use of the fund you could allow to spare sometimes and maybe you get another little fragments for frequent spendings on expenses, ensure you're decentralized also with your wallet used for security and privacy

Yes, both market conditions are very important in the crypto market. You can’t be profitable when there is bullish season if you never start buying and storing your coins during the bear market so both bring opportunities to be profitable in the market. Otherwise, if you are just eager for the bullish season to come without good preparation in the bear season and without high patience, you will never be successful in your investments.

Bear markets are important because they flush out those that are overleveraged and trying to get rich quick.  In Bitcoin, this happens quickly.  Bull markets tend to be inflated as people leverage up and take on more risk, thinking the market will go up forever.  Banks do this constantly, knowing that when it goes bad they'll get a government bailout.  This is actually what we're seeing now in the global finance world.  It's a major problem and it will only continue to get worse so long as the Fed thinks they can control interest rates.  The funny thing is that everyone knows the Fed does the wrong thing to enrich their friends and squash competition for their investments, but almost nobody talks about it or is willing to do anything.  

The behaviour of creating a thread and leaving it by newbies is not a new one and I am not offended by it. It is not done purposely most times. I have been a newbie and it also happened to me. During my newbie days, when I drop a post and replies start coming, I would be reading all, but trying to reply all at same time was a big problem to me. Before I will know, the thread is already in the 3rd page and I will feel like keeping mute was the best thing to do. It continued that way till I learnt how to multi-quote.

Op, you have to advice yourself here. The question is, do you truly believe that bitcoin will make a new ATH or has the tendency to rise again? If yes, buy bitcoin but if no, save your money.

The importance provided to the bull market should also be given to the bear market. If the market doesn't have bear market, then we miss the opportunity to buy and experience the profit. No investment will have bull market alone and if you find something likewise, then it is complete manipulation and get out of such investment at the earliest.

just remember

buy the bear
    sell the bull

buy low
   sell high

buy the dip
   sell the hype

then when those thought stay in your mind. then work out the lows and the highs.
its not difficult

Both are equally important. It's just a matter of perspective that their importance probably varies. For somebody who really wants to buy more and wants to make the most of his limited funds, the bear market is more important than the bull market. The same goes for somebody who is waiting for cheap prices in order to buy his first Bitcoin. But for somebody who has already enough Bitcoin and wishes to build a project, say, a house for his family, the bull market is more important.

So to buyers, the bear market is more important. To sellers, the bull market is more important.

markets are somewhat part of the natural economic flow of things. If you take a long-term historical look
l realize that bull and bear markets are an unavoidable part of how

the stock market operates.

from 1957 to 2018, there were ten bull markets and ten bear markets. During that period,
the average bull market lasted 55 months and gained over 150%, and the average bear market lasted just under a year and lost around 34%.
The takeaway here is that major market drops tend to happen quickly and their dips pale in comparison to the steady march of economic growth and the longer bull markets that accompany it.

 That's why we here, at The Motley Fool,

take a long-term view and generally advise folks to keep money in the market unless they'll immediately need it in the next couple of years because timing buys and sells around market tops and bottoms is incredibly tough to do.

Both have a good role and function for us if we do it at the right time because we can only take advantage of bulls and bears to take advantage.
Investing is about taking advantage of fear and greed, and we like to buy when there is fear. In other words, when the market is down, we love being buyers.
and when the market goes up we love to be sellers, the main thing to understand in investing is that we move almost exactly the opposite of how most people move in the market.

Those are easy logics to remember but when someone's in a tough situation whether he's going to sell or not, he's choosing not to sell because of the thought that the price might go higher.
No matter how we memorize those logic the thing is, we all will face different situations and circumstances when we're about to sell or buy. Sometimes when you're determined to do both of it, something happens that requires you to delay the decision or stops you from doing so.

Both conditions will always occur in the Bitcoin market and advantage can be taken if we understand how it works, bullish it's time to sell and bearish it's time to buy and collect more.
We can't just focus on bulls or vice versa so all conditions must be learned so that no opportunity is wasted when any condition occurs.

Bear Market and Bull Market are important in their own ways and depending on the investor themselves.

For me, bull market is a time to sell and bear market is a time to accumulate. The problem is there are some investors who are doing the opposite. Investors are investing in a bull market because they are afraid not to ride on a train where all of the coins are pumping like crazy. On the other hand, investors are selling at a bear market because the afraid they might incur more losses that's why they will sell even at a loss.

Just remember, don't do what most of the people are doing. Another one is bear market is a time to accumulate and bull market is a time to sell.

It is impossible to say which is more important than the other, but both are necessary to establish financial markets. It takes a bear market to prove projects, what is real and what is a scam, scam projects die as soon as the bear market lasts. For investors, the bear market is an opportunity to buy good coins at a high discount. 

And once the bull market comes, there will be opportunities for real projects to develop and attract more investors. And for investors like us, the bull market is the time when we reap the fruits of our accumulation during bear season.

I find it a little bit funny that many people in the cryptocurrency market are focused on two things: the bears and the bulls. Now, if we can concentrate more on adoption of Bitcoin in particular and cryptocurrency in general then things will eventually be good for all. as far as the bears and the bulls are concerned, they are more in speculative in nature and while I see nothing wrong with them as they are hallmarks of a open trading market...Bitcoin is certainly more than those. And right now, there are many more issues surrounding Bitcoin aside from them.

If by "new people" you mean new investors then yes, bear markets would generally be more helpful since if we consider how Bitcoin has behaved in the long term, then times like these would be the perfect moments for them to enter the market and start hodling. If the bull market though, then I would suggest to only invest a part, or not at all since you might just get swept by the hype (which is what happens most of the time to newbie investors).
Nothing we can do about that, most people know or consider Bitcoin as an investment after all. Wouldn't blame them all, I started Bitcoin taking it as an investment opportunity as well anyway.

Both are important scenarios for everyone especially in the bull market because right now, most of the holders are waiting for it to happen because some of them might have bought some bitcoins when its price was over $30k and they wanted to at least wait for that price to hold it back or to hold it to wait for a good price when it increased more. Most likely everyone has already bought some bitcoins and they only waiting for a bull run to happen in the upcoming months to decide what they will gonna do about it.

Actually, in this bear market situation, there are also many advantages for beginners and seniors who have been in crypto for a long time, because then everyone new or old can buy cheaply, according to what they want to buy there. Indeed, in the crypto world there is always an opportunity for those who just want to intend to buy crypto at a low price and now is their opportunity to learn and understand the current market situation.

Many are now waiting for the bull market, but it cannot be ruled out that the fall may continue. And how then will those who bought at 30k feel if the price falls by 15k or 10k? I suppose that some of them will sell to save at least some of their money. This is how cycles work, only those who truly believe in bitcoin survive, those who can wait and survive the winter. You need to buy not for the entire deposit at once, but in parts, so that there is always a reserve that will allow you to buy more on falls.

Of course, bear market is more important than bull market because bear market is the best time to invest. In bear market all tokens have low price so everyone can buy tokens at low price and sell those tokens at 2x, 3x profit during bull market. So I think. Bear markets are more important than bull markets for investors.

I think both seasons (or cycles) are important for coin or asset. When Bitcoin develops its past through bull and bear markets following each other, and that "past" guides us into future. OP is right about one thing and that is Bitcoin is still a kid. That's why it's very very speculative in both negative and positive directions. Be aware that Bitcoiners are lucky kind of group in world observing birth of new thing.

not everyone does, those who are selling during bear season and buying back during bull season are mostly newbies. they are people who have no knowledge, have not experienced the ups and downs of the market, but refuse to learn and listen to anyone's advice

people who have gone through bear seasons before are just like you, they are trying to accumulate bitcoins daily, every time the price drops they keep buying and buying


everyone considers bitcoin to be a lucrative investment market so there is nothing left to discuss but price speculation. if you are not among them, you are one of the few, very rare

Both are very important even though the bear market and bull market, have very contradictory differences between the two, at least we can all learn the differences in these differences, so that's why many people today, learn to analyze from these two markets, then from the current conditions. we are currently experiencing, in recent months many people are more careful in trading and investing..

How on earth you can thought bear market is important? No one want Bitcoin price always decrease since most people buy Bitcoin to get profit by holding it. Only few groups are want Bitcoin price suffering bear market, it's government, country who ban Bitcoin, groups that say Bitcoin is haram, etc. If Bitcoin price always keep rising everyday, no one will afraid to buy Bitcoin and everyone will thank to Bitcoin since their investment always 100% successful.

You pretty much have to have both bear and bull market on an asset, that's just how it works so I don't think one can be more or less important than the other. Of course, you want the market to be bullish on the long run if you want to make profit, but the bear has to be there and it is a good chance to invest when it is, as most people do - buy low and sell high. Don't split it into two categories, it's better to look at the market as a whole with different opportunities.

Both bear and bull market are great opportunities in the space. We just have to change our perspective. Most people think that bear market is always in the losing end, but some of us are seeing it as an opportunity. I mean there are many opportunities out there if you know how to find it despite the bear market conditions.

I see that there are some who are making money in the bear market by shorting it on futures trading, finding great gigs as KOLs, ambassadors, influencers, etc., and so much more. In the world of Bitcoin and crypto, there are always opportunities within the opportunity.

Both bear and bull seasons are very important for the growth and sustainance of this asset called bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies in general.
Bear season is the time to build, and for the investors, it is the time to invest.
Bear season, though it is the best time for newbie investors to invest in bitcoin, but we discover this is not the case unfortunately, bull season is the time when most newbies join the cryptocurrency train and invest in bitcoin, this is because, as the price of bitcoin is skyrocketing, alot of people are talking about it, telling friends and family members, including those that have never invested in crypto before, this motivates them to want to seize the opportunity to make some money for themselves, so they end up FOMOing into buying bitcoin, some of this new comers get lucky and sell in profit before the bears hit, while the not so unlucky ones holds until the bear season meets their bitcoin investment, and that is when we begin seeing posts like "when will bitcoin go up again", "when will bitcoin reach its all time high again?", or " when will bitcoin hit a new all time high?" - and some of this newbies even end up selling at a loss, but the good news is that, at this stage, they've gathered some knowledge about bitcoin and crypto currencies in general and have become an active member of the crypto space.

Definitely depends on your perspective as an investor; some are more excited with bearish market while some are looking more on the opposite end. It is quite a matter of choosing your own poison given that there's no assurance of profit eitherway, that will solely depend on your analysis of the market.
I do get your point, but as you've mentioned, some investor are holding and that is on purpose, especially during bearish season. They are willing to wait for that pump to harvest their profit. Most likely, they are 'bigger' investors who can afford seeing a red portfolio.

I think bear season can be considered important if we can take advantage of it, thus getting a low price. that way later it will be easier to make a profit if you make a purchase at a lower price. The most important thing is that we must be calm in dealing with market fluctuations and be able to take opportunities when bear season occurs, and can also take opportunities when the bullish season comes

bear market is not profitable, especially for people who buy crypto/bitcoin at high prices,
because they are afraid of losing.

but a bear market can also be an opportunity for someone who wants to buy or invest in crypto/bitcoin,
because buying or investing when the market is down is very likely to go up,

So in conclusion, the bear market can be profitable or detrimental,

as needed, if you want to invest when the bearish / market goes down, this is the right thing, in the sense that you also have to look at the crypto first, but if it's bitcoin, don't be afraid because the bitcoin market is the most stable,
but if it's another crypto, you have to be really careful,
because other crypto markets are not as stable as bitcoin.

but if you buy or invest and the market goes down, all you have to do is,
hold your crypto, don't sell it yet.

The bear market is always there. It's like a part of every cycle. Not always we go UP only. Not always we go DOWN only.
Even on non-crypto markets, there are different markets; bull market and bear market.
Bear market for me is important because that's the time the correction happened, and another thing is a lot of projects in cryptocurrency will be indetified during bear markets or their own quality, if they are legit or not or they are well established project.

The bear and bull both hold relevance and are important to the market. The bear market creates opportunities for new investors to enter the market while without the expectation of the bull, investors will never take advantage of the bear market. So they are both important to the relevance of one to another and to the market. A market that is only in the bull will not permit opportunities for investors to get into the market, and a market that is only bearish will not encourage new investors to join.

The both markets are important. In the bear Market you buy bitcoin has a lower price or rate while in the bull market you sell what you have bought from low in bear market with a high price or rate. Therefore, no one is bad but both are good. But some bitcoiners cry in the bear Market mostly the beginners. If it is only on bull market, those who has small amount of funds can invest in the market so this bear period is for those who has little to enter the market.  The movement of the market is also seen in the forex trading as well.

The prediction of bitcoin to climb up to 70k in 2024 is something I can not tell. Some predict 400k in 2030. We all pray that it should go up very well so that people who have bought a large quantities will sell in the time of high price.

many famous people predicted $100k in 2021 last year, but we didn't really go to that price and you believe that 2024 bitcoin price will touch $200k, that sounds like a joke to me, I'm not sure we will cross $100k in the year 2024 because in that year bitcoin will halving reducing block rewards, even though it has been predicted a lot but I'm still not sure we will be able to pass $100k, if asked at this time the bear market attracts new people or not the answer is yes, because people will take more cheap bitcoin for their long term investment, buying bitcoin at this time is a good way to recover the market

Both period comes with different benefits depending on how you are able to take advantage of each period. Bear period brings opportunity to buy btc and some top alts at cheap price while bull period gives an equal opportunity to sell at a peak. So to me, no period is better than the other. They compliment each other.

The beginners only be afraid of lost and they are not ready to make profit, i know quite well that the major concern of everyone in cryptocurrency investment is to make profit and continue to make profit. The bearish market don't capture the attention of newbies to invest in cryptocurrency, because what comes to their mind is that cryptocurrency is collapsing. So they only pick interest in cryptocurrency when the price is in bullish.

If you feel that Bitcoin is currently too late for newbies to come this year? then the answer is wrong. In Bitcoin, you always have the same opportunity, because those of us who were there first felt regret. Learn from it all the facts you will always be given the opportunity when the bear market arrives to buy as much as you want. Make it long-term, because in the future Bitcoin could be much bigger. As we thought in the past, and until now all proved Bitcoin continues to provide many benefits. Moreover, what are we waiting for to feel doubt that Bitcoin in a bear market is the point where we will not find the same price in the future.

Both markets are significant in any market, as you will see how a certain project evolved throughout its lifespan.
If you believe there is future for example in btc market, what you will do is accumulate while it is in bearish season.
Because you won't invest if you think there is no hope to recover or increase its price in the coming days.
You will also distinguish these 2 seasons, if you will compare their market performance, in this case, their history of prices.
But the fact is, no one is defining a bull or a bear market. Only people are giving it a certain distinction based on the prices.
So if it is all bull market, how can you distinguish a bear market? So yes, we do need both to identify which ones we are in right now.
And from that point, decide whether we invest or not in any type of market. It is on you how you will strategize to get profits later on.

Yes you are right but my point of view was that if you are pro trader and have good money than this bear market will be good for these people and can
Be game changer for you and it might make you millionaire too. And that is very very good thing that why I think bear market is good but not for all.

Yes you are right and my opinion was same cause bear market is not favorable for those people who wants quick rich schemes too. And that not good for those people are newbies. ]

I think the answer to your question is that the bear is as important as the bull.

The bear gives you the opportunity to buy cheap.
That's not to say that you can't buy cheap during a bull run. Sometimes you can get a token early during a bull run and make mad profit.

And also, there are people still making money from the bear.

So, on the long run, it depends on what kind of trader you are and you level of experience and expertise.

Or for newbies, they will be discourage to enter the market because it's not going to make them money like in a bull run. But they have to understand that in a bear market, yes the market will be down, but you can take advantage of it, the price is cheap at a a discount. Just in this situation, from $69k, now to $20k, so that is huge cut from the price and so you can invest and buy in this dip.

And so when the bull run arrives, you have enough bitcoin in your wallet already. So you just have to wait for the right time to sell and make a huge profit from all the years you are holding.

But of course, it's always different strokes for different folks. What makes meaning to one may not make to another. There are investors who get scared off by the experiences of the bear season while others firm up and learn from it. For me, I think the bear season is more didactic than the bull which is fraught with a hell of noise, excitement and merriment. If one doesn't learn a thing or two during a bear season, then one isn't observant and isn't likely to profit on the long run from this industry. The current bear run is affording many investors an opportunity to get onboard while there's still time for it.

That is something that "should" happen during bear times but unfortunately doesn't happen. It's a sad affair but when bitcoin price ends up being so low, people should be buying as much of it as possible and that would make it a lot more profitable for everyone and it would give a good return, but unfortunately people do not invest based on this, they get scared and get away from it during this period and that's a sad thing but a reality at the same time as well.

This causes the bear market to prolong itself and postpone the coming of bull run too. That is why it's a sad period, but eventually it will become something good one day.

This advice is very contradictory because i believe that bitcoin it self is a personal decision that you can take to start up your own kind of business. Someone that doesn't know about bitcoin like to seek the opinion of people further decision of either trading on cryptocurrency or neither bitcoin in particular.

Both are important really as we cannot reap and harvest good amount of profits if we never bought early when it’s still in bear market. Also, it’s useless to buy and store our bitcoin when we never intend to sell our coins when the price is high or when bull market is around. So both market conditions should be relevant and compliment with each other.

This question is a bit funny but I will answer base on my opinion, If it were before I would have said bull market , bull makes a whole lot of sense, reason is that all your portfolio increases in price and gives a lot of joy, but not until I understood that Bear market means an opportunity. However, I think bull market and bear market works hand in hand and both are very important in my opinion because bear market gives you the opportunity to accumulate your portfolio that later gives you those profit during the bull market. Therefore I love both.

Just follow the basic rule, buy low and sell high. If you want the right timing to buy, then always buy and accumulate more coins when there is bear market, and then you decide to sell for profits when the market is already bullish because that will be the start of seeing crypto prices consistently increasing. Otherwise, if you are doing the opposite, then prepare for losses anytime.

I really don't think that what KingsDen did in that question to OP was bad or wrong. It was rhetorical and only OP can figure that out. Again, come to think of it; why would anyone leave their investment decisions in the hands of complete strangers they meet online? Except you're in complete sync with someone offline before meeting them here online, I think you shouldn't rely completely on what they say to form your decision. OP shouldn't just rely on whatever

Do you know that newbies who don't know the rudiments of cryptocurrency and especially bitcoin do seek the opinion of any high rank member in the forum, and any information they come across they processed it as vital one. You don't have to know someone physically before you believe the person online, do you that so many of us find this community through online or social media pee say. So the world is a digital world, so you have the right to trust anyone that's you notice it's reputation in online.

Both the bear and bull market situations have advantages; we learn more during the bear market because when the price of coins drops significantly, it pushes us to learn how to identify a good project, as almost all of the price of coins drops, so we must learn before investing so that we do not invest in the wrong project.
While the market's bull run allows us to reap the benefits of our patience, now is the time to take our profits and gain more capital for future investments.

Lots of new and some old investors rely on other people's decision before investing, I have come across several people like that (especially on telegram) asking my opinion about some  projects.
Such people will take whatever you say to them as the focus point to invest. They don't seem to care if you are a total stranger they just meet in the internet or not.

When it the best time for you to go buy a new pair of shoes? When is the best time to go get a new car, or a new bed, or a new TV?....during sales times right?  That is no different when it comes to financial markets / cryptocurrency markets.  Right now you can consider yourself buying at a discount.  Savvy investors will increase their contributions during times like these knowing they are getting more bang for their buck.

Just DCA (dollar cost average) in and you'll set yourself down a good path.

The bear and bull markets are both important in the crypto space. Someone that invested in bitcoin during the bear market will like to sell in the bull market. Any successful investor in crypto has this logic at heart "buy low and sell high". Taking advantage of any given situation the market gives, to his or her benefit. Even if it is a bear market or a bull market.

Yes, both are indeed important because people cant really make profits if one of those things would really be in absence which means that if there's only bear then how people would make money?

If there would be only bullish then how people would buy cheaper? Both things are crucial or if we do speak about balance or something.Market cant really be called if we do only have one path

when it comes to price movement.Therefore, you should treat both things as important as you could really make out movement out of these conditions or situations
if you have done the right thing.

Bear and Bull market are both important. Bear is the time to accumulate and bull market is the time to sell and profit from what you invested. It's part of the cycle and investors who used to seeing these seasons are aware on how to take advantage it for their own gains. But if we're going to compare on what investors prefer between the two then it's probably the bull since everyone is active in trading and has their own strategy to maximize their profit.

For newbies, engaging themselves in crypto during bearish season is a good choice since it's the time to fill their bags. They just need to educate themselves on how crypto work, what to expect if they invest and the risk associated with it.

Summarizing the cycles in accumulating and selling is being too simplistic. There is no point in applying this idea if the fundamentals of the currency have changed.

You should delve deeper into this idea. In my view, you summarized too much and ended up forgetting literally fundamental details.

As far as I know bull and bear are very important. Because in a bear market, the market is always low for all coins or tokens, in a word, the market is down. On the other hand, the price of all coins or tokens increases in bull market. This means that the market is at its highest during this time. So I think both markets should be looked at equally. If you want to get a good amount of profit, you have to buy bear market and sell in bull market. Then you will get good profit. So I consider both important.

I want to believe that you have been able to see the market pattern, the Bull and the Bear market and obviously any investor that does not still understand that buying during a bear market is what best will obviously miss out. Both market circles are important, if not for the bear market, investors won't be able to accumulate more and if not for the Bull season, profits won't be as much but the only thing most investors worry about is went to get in even when it s clear that we are in a bear market so DCA comes in as the better investing option here. Just continue to buy most of the lows if there is the capital and you are good.

You cannot directly tell which is more important, coz both of that kind of market are essential to Bitcoin.
Newbies and weak hands might think the bearish season is an indication of a Bitcoin fall, which eventually did not happen even after the worst bear in 2018 that brough Bitcoin back to $3k level.
This market needs to consolidate especially if it just hit a new ATH. People can't continue to buy Bitcoin at an expensive price, coz traders and whales are also reaping their good profit.
So, let me just put it this way. Bear market is important for the people to accumulate more Btc, and bull market is important for Btc growth and global adoption.

Depending on what you are seeking or what is your position in your investments , there are people like me now that seeks for bear market as I wanted to see and take the opportunity to buy and Hold till the end of this year or at least till Halving season in the next 2-3 years from now.
so indeed that we can see the chance of Buying to profit? or selling to profit , this is how bear and bull market.

They are both important in the market (just for me).
If you just think that both of them give us the opportunity...
 - Bear market - accumulation period
 - Bull market - selling period

They actually exist on the market and this is how the market looks like. In fact, this is not only happening in the crypto market but also in others like in the stock market.

I can’t say that I was waiting for the bear market, but I understood that the bull market cannot last forever, and the onset of the bear market is just a matter of time. I always try to act according to the situation, if a bear market has come, then this is a sign in order to buy, you need to take advantage of this. I think that growth is not worth waiting for this autumn and winter, so there will still be time to accumulate positions. And then we will look at the situation...

Yes, they are both important and you can not have one and don't have another. They co-exist and support each other in a same market.

To talk about opportunity, we should start with two types of participant in the market: winners and losers.

Most of participants (90%) are losers who are ready to buy in bull market and exit in bear market, with huge loss.

The rest of participants (~ 10%) are the minority who are winners. They consider bear market as opportunity to accumulate (as you mentioned) and bull market as another opportunity to take profit.

An opportunity with winners is catastrophe with losers but the market needs to have both.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly by saying if the bearish market is more important or the bullish market, but we all know both are necessary for any market. The bearish market will supply the potential required for the bullish movements there is the same situation for the bitcoin market, many people are talking about the bearish market and they are not happy about it while that's a moment when experts usually gather assets and start buying, so that's pretty much important for any market but it doesn't mean the bullish market is not important.

The "healthiest" market is a volatile one, since only then can we make a profit, so both a bull and a bear market are equally important. I can't say I like bear market but it's not bad, because in bear market we have chance to buy coins at low price. But bear market is very risky as a lot of coins will die due to bear market so always be careful and do thorough research when deciding to buy any coin, bitcoin is the best option in bear market. A bull market is when you take profits and claim the rewards you have accumulated during bear season.

I find nothing interesting in asking these two market movement because while others is waiting for Increase? others are expecting decrease .

Some wanted to Buy, while others wanted to sell.


I myself had been in the situation that I wanted to buy so looking for bear market , but after several time I am seeking for Bull market because I badly needed funds and need to sell .

I wanted t o add bear market topic because everyone always talks about Bitcoin Bull Run. So with me I have seen two times bull run and that's 2nd time I have been able to see bear market. And this is opportunity to make fortune in next bull run.

By the way I joined platform now that's not means I am newbie  ::)

That's how the volatility of the market increases badly and it can no longer be changed just like how people think it will become stabilized.
Now that I was currently buying Bitcoin, then I just hoping for a price increase in order to make some profit but guess what, the market seems never to give me some favor, and maybe because many investors are also asking for the price to drop more.
That is the funny thing in crypto and we surely still see the market is moving up and down.

In other words, the presence of a bull and bear market is very important because it can make us buy when the price drops drastically and sell at the highest price. But not many people have the thought of buying more in a bear market because they are afraid to see the price will continue to change. However, it was a rare opportunity they might not see in the future.

If you are already on a platform, you should try collecting more bitcoins and keep them until the bull market returns.

Certainly right! Bitcoin will remain as is and it won't lose its fraction of importance or value just because its market is experiencing a downward trend, just like what you said, only the numbers are moving. Whether if the market is bearish or bullish, newcomers still won't survive long enough if they won't equip themselves with knowledge because even if they acquire some coins in the bullish market, they will eventually sell it when the market becomes bearish they don't have the fundamentals.

Yes. Both are very important as you can never be profitable if you never start buying from a bear market and decide to sell at a bullish market. So each market condition brings different opportunities, it’s up for us how to take advantage on them and become profitable in the future. However, some may misunderstand and consider doing things in the opposite way. Instead, they start buying when there is bull market and ends up panic selling when bear market comes. That way, they will end up incurring losses, not profits.

Why are you trying to compare the bear market and the bull market? Both are equally important, each market has its own role. So, comparing them is something useless, surely unnecessary because get nothing.

And you don't need to compare Bitcoin or altcoins with stocks, they are different. Bitcoin and altcoins are volatile, the values change significantly. While stocks price changes seem not too significant and can be easier to predict. With the different in nature, the market characteristics should be a bit different.

Be it a bear market or a bull market, both have an important role. so that both can be considered important.
The Bear market will be very important for people who are accumulating bitcoin or it can be said that it is time for shopping. although there are some people who are even afraid of the bear market and they easily panic and rush to sell. whereas bear market is an important market to start accumulating bitcoins.
and when the bull market comes then it will be important for some people who have accumulated from the bear market. because some of them must have wanted to take advantage. but then again there are always people who panic when the bull market comes. i.e. those who are in a rush to sell or those who are exposed to FOMO. I hope beginners who enter the bear market now can learn more before the bull market comes.

Maybe he was confused about when the bear market and bull market would come so he tried to compare them. We are now entering a bear market because the price has dropped drastically since the year's beginning. So now is a good time to buy bitcoin or altcoins.

But maybe he should invest in bitcoin and not focus on altcoins because that could confuse him even more. But that's up to him because the final decision is in his hands. We can only give him advice.

Bear markets always tell opportunities for those who are late. For me, that is how it's supposed to be.
If by any chance you pull some courage to purchase then do so. There are investors who now regret they didn't buy at this stage or the other timelines where Bitcoin was cheap. I won't be a hypocrite because I am part of that regretful people.
We might not know where Bitcoin will go in the next year or a couple but I am sure it always goes back and more.

What is it that we are trying to say here? Bitcoin began its bull run in 2013, and that was when it began to gain attention, and it broke $1k by flash and not $100, but after that, the price crashed because there was little liquidity around bitcoin at the time, and we only had a few exchanges where bitcoin was trading. Comparing its development now to that time, I will say it has come a long way, but as you said, timing is everything.



I'm going to assume that you're saying that now is the ideal moment for people who haven't tried bitcoin to try and buy since the price is low, but your writing style will deter a lot of the readers you're trying to reach with your message. Speculate and anticipate positive outcomes so that people will be interested and, regardless of what happens, they won't only look at the price alone but also be fascinated by the bitcoin ecosystem. If you put price first for people, they will get bored easily. We will definitely see another bull run, but it is not a guarantee that we will see $200k.

You are posting to disseminate information and also looking for others to chip in their opinion and in return they are been merited, why are you complaining.

Actually, it is not about which one is important between the bear market and bull market, but about how we are during the bull and bear market. For, our decision, condition, and also strategy during the bear market and bull market will exactly give certain influence for whatever our goal and results. Do we know that many people are able to utilize the bear market to collect more Bitcoin and save them for long-term holding The result? It's awesome because most have proved that long-term investment in Bitcoin is exactly very promising. The down price during a bear market then will change to be very high price during a bull market. Many people can earn profits from this.

But on the other hand, many people failed even during the bear and bull markets. Who are they?
They are the panic people even during the bear and bull run. In the bull run, people are panicking enough to buy Bitcoin at the top price, and then they suddenly face that the price drops down because of a market correction. If they panic enough, they may sell their coin in cheaper price and get lost. That also happened in the bear market where many more people panics because the price keeps droping.

From this side, we can learn about how ours strategy and preparation during the bear and bull market so that we wil not panic in whatever the situation, still under control and careful enough tomake certain decision.

While we understand the importance of bear market and what action we must do, the others won't think about what you've been doing about investing at that time. It's actually the right time to buy during the bear market as we'll see the lowest at that point and it might not been seen again when the bull run comes.

While for taking profit, the more important is during the bull run. We all want to sell at a higher price and that's during that time and it's the most exciting season because that's where people are too positive to the market and then eventually when bear market comes, they all get discouraged.

The right choice if you take some of these coins because they have a large volume. Currently I only trade Matic and Solana. Although the results are very little compared to last year's bull market, but it is sufficient for daily needs. But I also added stable coin stake option to increase income. During the correction period that has been running for months, we must endure and cannot be wrong in making decisions, especially buying new coins that are uncertain is not very good.

I think the two are related and I can say that they are related because the bear market will determine the bull market later on
It can be said that investors are competing to charge in a bear market, and sell in a bull market
but the thing that is often confusing is when we have to enter during this bear market, especially now that the price is still unstable and is still rotating in the same circle.

Bear markets and bull should be equally important for trading. The fact is that volatility will give you the opportunity to profit on both trades and investments, so both market sentiments should be expected. Without price volatility I don't know how traders and investors can profit in the market, so yes both things are needed.

For long-term investment needs, of course I hope this bear market will continue to occur in the future. I want to buy bitcoin at a lower price than now, but that doesn't mean now isn't the right time to do it. Actually many people are willing to wait for a cheaper price, but it is not uncommon for us to miss the train because the price does not reach the expected lowest target.

Pro traders are disciplined in both markets and they can get profit from both market but they are very little on the market.

In bull market, it is easily to get profit but the challenge is will you be able to save your profit when bear market comes.
In bear market, most traders are in pain. Sometimes they get profit from bounces but if they are inexperienced and can not disciplined, they will get loss at the end.

Investment is better than trading and if you choose a good one, invest in it long term, you will get profit. You will not be affected by market volatility, corrections, crashes along the way.

Indeed. Both bear and bull market have important roles for crypto market. Without bear and bull market, there will be no significant change in crypto prices. If we have no bear market, people can't buy crypto coins at cheap prices. While if there is no bull market, people can't sell their coins at expensive prices. Bear and bull market creates high volatility in crypto, it is what makes every investor to join crypto investment. Of course, investors won't be interested in crypto without the high volalitily caused by the bear and bull market.

Usually the ones who wait for the price to increase are the long term investors because they are not yet contented on the current price but short term goers can sell now and after it, they are waiting again for the price to decline.

If you are into longer terms, you can also buy without really needing to wait for the the price to decline. I think there is no way for us to know if when will the bear market occur so waiting for it could be hard but congrats to you if you manage to do so. That simply means that you have lots of patience. Doing a dca right after some dip is also better than completely waiting for the lowest. Have you try that already?

Majority of the new investors are here not just because we are highly volatile or they are impressed with the tech side of things as a decentralized currency but the majority of the investors are viewing the entire cryptocurrency market as a quick rich scheme and make money when you can as majority of the new investors does not even believe that the market would last till the next decade.

Agree on this one which is totally on point!

Majority of people who had stepped in into this market does really have that kind of belief that they could really make theirselves rich overnight which is really a very wrong mindset or wrong thing to believe on.
Making out comparison in between Bear and Bull doesnt have any point.

Both things are important and does play a major role or position when it comes to normal market conditions.You cant really called it a market on the first place
if these things doesnt really exist.We do need bear to buy cheap and we do need bull for us to sell for profits.As simple as that.

OP, to respond to you - I think bulls and bears are equally important for us to have in the market. I don't expect bitcoin to go up relentlessly and never go down all the way, so that means I also expect a decline that is in line with the existing trend.

Of course the experience shared by most of the old users here will really help beginners to gain a lot of knowledge and also confidence about the potential long-term price of bitcoin. I have no doubts about that, so the main thing is is we have to make good use of those market conditions. Maximum profit can be generated in the long term, so it will only be obtained if you are willing to hold it in the long term.

If we were given the option to have a bear market or a bull market we would have chosen the bull market to stay forever.
But this is not actually the case as in the financial markets both bear and bull markets exist.

In my opinion, the bull market is more important than the bear market as in the bull market the hype of bitcoin is on the rise and more people come and invest in cryptocurrencies.

It's great to have lows in all markets. Otherwise it would be unsustainable. Corrections on a rally are bad in the short term, but in the long term it ends up being a way to stop, breathe and move on.

Neither one is more important than the other, if there is no bear market, how can we buy bitcoin at low prices? If there was only a bull market where the price just went up and never went down then no one would sell their bitcoin and no one would be able to buy BTC. A market cannot exist without either one of these factors, in order for the market to be formed and exist, they need volatility.

Personally, I like the bear market, because the bear market is a time for us to clean up the market, remove the weak, unnecessary things and only real projects will survive. This is something the bull market cannot do.

The problem right now is that there are still people who can't be patient for the long term so choose to give up what they have at the moment in these very bad rally conditions. But it is the right of each person to make a decision, although in the end it may be regretful for being too satisfied with releasing assets in current conditions.

Such a bullish trend would not be expected if there was no bear market in cryptocurrencies. As you can buy cheap in bear market similarly bullish market will give you profit. And in between you have to be patient. After all we have learned to understand that Bitcoin follows its 4 year cycle so we can expect a big movement. In that case, we have to give maximum importance to the bearish market.

That is true and this cycle of bull bear bull bear bull bear, has to continue because it would actually make sense to keep growing and making profit, then going down and buying again to profit later on and keep repeating that, it would be so much profitable for people who would buy from the lows, and sell from the highs and I know that not that many people do it right now but the reality is that buying at the bottom and selling at the top and repeating that would make you super wealthy within just a few years, and even in a year if you have some money and also come in at the right moment. It is very very important and we should be happy that we get bear markets.

Bear market and bull market bring out different opportunities that will make us all profitable in the long run. Just always buy when there is bear market and take time to sell when there is bull market, that way you will never end up losing. However, the sad part is we don’t know actually the bottom price to buy and the peak price to sell, that some end up selling and buying at a wrong timing. But one thing is certain, we may commit mistakes and losses for some time, but eventually we learned from it and get through it.

As mentioned above Bear markets are an opportune time to buy discounted Bitcoin, Bull
markets offer a chance to take profits, or spend Bitcoin.

Only a novice person would choose a bullish run forever, this does not reflect the dynamism of the market itself. Bullish and Bearish moments make any market interesting and there can't be a perfect slope in the market so that the buyers and sellers could always have their fair share at their different seasons irrespective of the side that owns the sentiment at that time. Specifically, Bitcoin will always be bullish or bearish at times, and traders/holders could make their money on both sides. They could hold it while it is rising and use spot trading to sell it while it is bearish in trend.

The markets work more like a seesaw, there will be times markets will be bullish and times when markets will be bearish & sometimes balanced(consolidation) and all this happens because of the tag of war between buyers and sellers and not necessarily that one of them is more superior than the other. By the way crypto being crypto we can never have a one sided bias of the market as we treasure these crypto assets differently.

Both things will be important depending on the situation in which we position ourselves. like me, who is still in a position to collect bitcoins by continuing to buy and install entries using the DCA method. so for me this bear market is very important because it continues to provide opportunities for me to collect more bitcoins.

But when my position is at the stage of stopping collecting or has reached the target amount of BTC that I planned. then of course I would expect the bullrun market to come back. because of course at that time I will wait for new ATH to appear to take advantage of the BTC that I have collected so far. but because right now I'm still in collecting mode and haven't reached the planned amount target then this bear market is very important to me. because I can only buy in stages because I have not been able to buy in large quantities at once. I can only rely on making money from my daily trading profits little by little. and I was also helped in collecting btc from signature campaign payments on this forum. so the conclusion is that both become important in time.

During the bear market like this, you just use it to learn new skills and study the market movement and trends. In bull market just don't carried away by new altcoin hypes as they are out to steal your precious BTC and give you worthless shitcoins. Many years from now, many altcoin projects would be dead but BTC will still be here. If you have the money as per spare fund, you can be accumulating BTC in trenches.

Both are important aspects that makes BTC an investable cryptocurrency. Without experiencing any bear or bull market, neither profit would be possible. Unfortunately, another person's lost is another person's gain- and that what the stock/cryptocurrency market is all about.

But in all honesty, there can never be an absolute bull/bearish market. Those two (2) kinds of market system will always be present as the price of BTC is very volatile in nature. Like inflation, it is definitely helpful but too much of it can cause serious economic problems if left unsolved.

Bear market and bull market are very important in the crypto market, because many bitcoiners used bear season to buy a lot of potential coins and hold for bull market to come in the community before they can sell and smile. Bear season allow both long term traders and short term traders to prepare ahead of a brighter future because is the best season right from time for traders to buy bitcoins in the bear market and hold until the bull market appear before they can sell.

Do not forget to make money whether we're in bear or bulls. Those that are getting carried away by the bull run, won't make themselves satisfied with the profit that they're about to make. And that is because they want to earn more from it and they end up not selling.
The important thing is ourselves and how we deal with both market situations. An inexperienced investor is okay to lose that much as it's his first try with the market but if you've been here and you've missed it again. Then, there's something wrong that you have to make up on yourself.

I think also that we shouldn't buy altcoins at the time of bear market. Whatever the price of Bitcoin, it will be growing rapidly all over the world. Bitcoin price is not fixed and it can be down, it is normal. But price will be increasing and for this we should wait patiently. We should use bearish time properly by investing on Bitcoin which can give us good amount of profit.

Why not?

You cant stop people on buying considering that in terms of diversification then altcoins would be the one of the options aside on getting all in with Bitcoin.
It do matters on someones self interest since not all would really be that having this kind of option.Speaking about bears and bulls then both are entirely
important and you cant call it a market if you cant really see these two.It does only depend on how long each trend would be lasting up
but on general sense which both things could really be seen on a market.

I support what Fatunad said.
Yes, Bitcoin is the safe-haven in the cryptocurrency market but that doesn't mean there's no altcoin in the market that is not built solid fundamental concept. Besides, the bear market is the best time to know the altcoin that's good for the next bullish market.
Having said that, if we considered the number of funds it requires to hold a while BTC, adding ETH, SOL, BNB, and others to your portfolio at a cheap price now is never a stupid decision.

Bear and Bull season is somewhat what we called a market cycle and it adds interest to the market. We consider both of them have a different market roles as the bear market is for the accumulation period while the bull market is for the selling. And those who can understand and adapt to the situation will never complain but instead, they are happy doing this.

Let us say it was important but on the other hand, this is how the market looks like. In fact, this condition also exists in the stock market which I say it is normal.

I think each Market season is important it just depends on each trader.
For those who wants to accumulate then they would certainly enjoy the Bear Market , But for those who wants to take profit those people surely enjoys the Bull Market.
So for us traders each market season is important it just depends on our goals.

Cant really be called a market if it doesn't really have that cycle which i do agree on what Fatunad said that both things or situations are important.

Bear = Buying time
Bull = Selling time
Stable? == You cant make money
Sideways? == Creates confusion on what decision would be made of.

As a trader or investor then you should really be that versatile on which you could easily adapt
out on whats happening on the market.

For a balance or equilibrium market structure there must be a bear market however, the time or period in which the bearish runs will last is unpredictable, both bearish and bullish market are very important for experience traders who capitalizes on a trending market to Short in a very bearish market and Long in a bullish market, but an investor will only buy and hodl in this present market sentiment with the anticipation that in the nearest future there is the tendency that the price sentiment will change from the bearish to bullish runs, invariably partial or full profits will taken, of course such investors will have to persevere with patience.

The bear market is one of the things that cannot be separated from the investment world, especially bitcoin. It becomes important to see how strong the commodity is to withstand the pressure caused. This is also a reminder for investors to always be careful, because it is not uncommon for people who are full of confidence to be trapped by their own confidence. I'm not saying it's a disservice, but they'll have to wait longer than they intended.

Bear market is the best time to hold any cryptocurrency in crypto market place and keep it for future bull market when the market will be bull you will be very profitable because you bought the tokens at very low price in bear market so I think bear market is the best time to get them money For those who have because bear markets offer opportunities and buy coins at no other time.

Depending on who you are and what you do will impact the market condition for you. To make it more clear, If you are a day trader and want to trade small to large amount of crypto then bear, or bull market won't have that much effect on you. As you are only trading on the basis of daily chart and market movements. As for newbies with less knowledge they tend to make money quickly and not see the bigger picture. Trend traders and whales are looking for some new projects to launch which will give them good profits.
This becomes interesting when we are talking about long term holders and investors. If you enter the market in a wrong position, then you will lose value but those investors knows that it will go up again.
So they tend to invest in different positions and market conditions. Thus making their assets more valuable and not lose value in the long run.
Wise investors search for these kind of bear market to fill up their bags and wait for the next bull run.
so bear and bull market both are like yin and yang. They both are important if you see from a good investor's perspective.
And also you mentioned the fact that new users to join in as the price goes low. Yes many will join after seeing the low price point and on the other hand those people with less knowledge in crypto will say that the value is less compared to previous value and will ignore it.

So i think you statements are somewhat correct and there's more to it from different peoples perspective.

That’s true, each of them have their advantages and disadvantages. If you are in a bear market, that means you have the chance to buy bitcoin for cheap, and that’s a great thing and you need to do that, but if you stay too long then it’s going to be like "alright I already bought as much as I can, let’s go up already!" and that’s understandable.

If you are in a bull market you could go up to a point where you profit a lot and that’s good part, but then you will crash hard so if you miss the exit you are going to lose profit a lot and that’s very risky. So, each side has its own advantages and disadvantages like I said, you just have to time them very well.

Exactly, we cannot say or call each of them more important and anotehr is less important. The importance is that we can utilize and optimize every chance that we can in both bears and bull markets. So we can take the advantage and also avoid the disadvantages. We have been here for certain time periods and we have been experiencing both bear and bull markets. For me, those are the cycles that we must pass every time. So, this will be our turn to take every advanatge of each market period.

The important thing is that you do know on how to utilize these movements for you to make money.Make yourself that aware on how these trends do behave or move out
so that you do already have the idea on what you should gonna do.
Its hard and its not something simple as you do hear of but its not impossible for you to get familiar or get a hold of it.
Both trends are important because you cant really make out money if you dont know on what you are doing.

Bear Market is important for investors and newcomers because it opens a window for entry and reentry.  But the Bull market is as important as the Bear market because it keeps the attraction of an asset to the maximum.  It also fuels the speculation of the market making investors think that the price will surge when they invest in the bear market and the proof is @OP's statement.  


Obviously, if we track the Bitcoin market history, every bear market gives us a chance to buy Bitcoin at a discounted price wherein we can take profit when the market transitioned to Bull Market.  It is also observed that every cycle, Bitcoin always gets to new heights after the bear market, even records new ATH after halving when the Bull sentiment dominate the market.

I would say, accumulate Bitcoin and continue to DCA during the bear market.  It has been proven many several times that Bitcoin has the tendency to break ATH after Bitcoin halving.

Markets behave like this. Bull or bear, you can cease the opportunity to benefit. But patience is what is required. Many traders act out of greed and lose good opportunities. Buy at dips and hold till the price rises is still the best strategy

There is no way bullish and bearish times would cease from the market, you have to know that, and also know that opportunities are present in the two. I emphasised on that because you seem sentimental here, you claim that one should buy the dip, but you didn't add the opportunity in the bullish market where one could sell the peak.

Both buy and sell buttons are there for reasons, and any true market would have their both buy and sell moments for profit earning.

Both have their own needs. A bear market is a good opportunity to buy, while a bull market gives you an opportunity to make profits. Patience is required in both. 

Yes! I don't know how many of you think like me, according to my observation there is nothing above the peak if we are already on peek and we are standing still means we are worthless now as per the rules of the nature when you fall you raise better to setup a new ATH there is an obvious need of ATL as bottoms decide how far you can goo ...

Yes I do think bear markets are more important than bull markets. There are a few benefits a bear markets gives us which we can't get during bull markets. The biggest advantage we have when the market is down is that it's the best opportunity to reinvest money and buy more coins. I am sure many investors at the end of 2021 were reluctant to buy more bitcoins. When prices are trading near ATHs we should not be buying. To really buy low we need a bear market, bull markets are for taking profits. Identifying the cycles in an asset is important for traders who are using technicals indicators and trends. Being in a bear market also means that the next bull market is around a corner. Another important aspect in investing is that it's much easier to lose money than to make money, avoiding bear markets can save us a lot if money. I would rather save all my money without making a profit, then having a chance to make 10% but lose half my money in half the cases because of a bear market. Preserving capital is more important than getting the highest return in my opinion.

To make it simple, bear market is a good opportunity to buy Bitcoin and the bull market is a good opportunity to sell Bitcoin, so yes, it is good for beginners, as long as they know exactly what they are getting into. It is normal for its price to go up and down because of what's so called volatility. Bear market is really important because this is where most of us will be tested, patient is a must.

It is important also to know what bear market is so that you will not panic and will just patiently wait while other are doing panic selling.

I don't think so, Bear Markets are no more important than bull markets. A Bear Market is an opportunity for new investors to enter the market and buy coins at low prices. When the price of the coin will rise again, these new investors will sell their coins for profit. Investors with experience in crypto will hold the coin even the price drops. That was the main reason why they made a profit after a while.

If we are early adopters or end users, this is an opportunity for us to buy more Bitcoins at discounted prices. It may take years or decades for people like us to see results, but the greatest thing about Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology is that it will still be here.

I don't think a bear market is better than a bull market, and conversely, a complete market is one that has both of these elements. The bear market gives us the opportunity to buy cheap but if the bull market does not come, we cannot sell to take profits with our coin so I'd say both are of equal importance. And I agree with you that if we want to make money we must first preserve our capital, just do it in the right order, bear market is accumulation, bull market is profit taking, don't rush or be greedy and make wrong decisions. As long as we have money, opportunities will still come to us.

There's no market that is not important. Both bear and bull run are quite interesting for the blockchain/ Crypto industry and holders. As we all know, bear market are major down trends are as a smart trader it is expected that it is the time for filling up of bags for the next bull season. I personally have come to learn alot  from the bear market as it has thought me a whole lot of lessons on perseverance and consistency. I learnt to be patient in trading and investing. I learnt to do proper research before engaging in anything for fact finding and authenticity . This have guided me through my time as a blockchain Enthusiast.

So therefore, neither bull nor bear market is important than each other. The both works hand in hand for a smooth scaling. Remember the bear market comes before the bull so it invariably means that both depends on each other for a successful season. As a Crypto investor you know  what is obtainable in the system so nobody should tell you what to do when it's time.

Every market trend has its own usefulness but to a crypto enthusiast who is looking for a better opportunity to invest at the bottom price, the bearish market is the most important while to an investor who's looking for a chance of making a profit through the market outstanding multiplier the bullish market is the most important.

Come to think that what if there's no bear market? How you would consider on buying up? We cant really be having a market or not be totally called a market if we do move only going up
or on continuous process which we know that its impossible.This is why both trends are really indeed helpful and beneficial for you to make money.

You cant really be able to buy cheap if bear isnt there, you cant able to sell if bull isnt there.Both things are important because it is the main components
of a market.
This is why you should be wise on making  decisions on whatever things you do encounter on.

You don't need to totally wait for the bull run before you can sell because there are small recoveries along the way so it's always possible for us to profit there unless if you are too ambitious about earning big amount in one go but if you will only save up the small amount that you get in short term trades then I think it will still look big and can be close or can be higher to what will you earn in the future if you wait for the bull run.

If you don't have a money or a capital then it's still possible for the opportunities to come. A job is still considered to as an opportunities. There are jobs online or on this forum which can help you get a crypto directly. There's no need for you to buy it.

I totally agree with what you said but some people don't understand that both the up and down in the price of the market has their own benefit I consider those people to be selfish or not willing to accept the fact that every market or institution is prone to bullish and bearish and what's important is the decision make when the market throw an event at them

I started learning how to trade in bitcoin when it is still in the bull run. I started researching day trading and entered the market without knowledge. Even if my trades are mostly lost, I'm still persistent. I am more focused on what ways of trading should I use and didn't mind learning technical analysis as I believe it's just about the timing. Yet, here comes the bear market I started studying technical analysis and how connected is bitcoin between news and the market. I literally spent my time learning deeper as it is so hard to trade in the bear market.

I conclude that both bull and bear markets provide different learnings. Which makes it more important to provide a strategic plan on how you handle the market. The most important thing you should consider is yourself. Enter the market at your own pace and make sure to back up your trades with a proper mindset and knowledge.

Both of them is important on circulation because we cannot earn profits if no bull run will came and we can't buy cheap bitcoins if there's no bear market will disturb the market. Its equal and not debatable matters but maybe there are some thinking that one of them is important since they look at the angle base on some certain situations.

actually this is not what people to believe now , price to become stabilized as the market is volatile and will change each time , to grow or to fall? both may happen of course.

with year to wait? of course this will happen mate as you are buying now in dumping market and will sell once increase starts to flow, though we have a small climb now yet this is not enough to call as growth.

you are right man both market are both important. Bear market allow us to buy while the bulk market allow us to sell. The cannot just be in a single trend .

Well to me, bear market is as important as the bull market. Because we need some correction of price, structures, some solid supports. Imagine if all we have is a bull market. Everyone would want to hop into it. But the bear market teaches patience, Trust,learning from mistakes and a whole lot. So Bear market is as Important as Bull market

Both of them are different. Everyone is focusing on the bull market. But if you really want to win big, you can win big money during the bear market. Because the values of coins are very low in the bear market; if you want to earn more money, you can buy so many coins.

Both the market are different and both are must in a potential market. If something is found to be growing/bullish forever, then it is manipulated. Real growth have bullish and bearish market. Bear market gives way to invest good on the trusted assets that is predicted to give assured return when the market turns bullish. At the same time we should have the learning to predict the market transition only then we were able to invest in the right way.

both between the bullish and bearish markets are important in certain situations and conditions. like for people who still want to accumulate more bitcoins. then of course the bear market is very important because we can accumulate bitcoin at a low price. but for people who have finished accumulating bitcoin then of course they expect a bullrun market to come soon. because of the bull market it becomes important to get benefit and profit from their investment in bitcoin. so these both become important at certain times and situations.

Yes, the bear market is also important. The environment free from bull market speculation encourages genuine innovation. It also suggests that most of people as well as VC investors conduct due diligence more thoroughly, and that's why we need to have more razor-sharp eyes because the bear market is when real innovation occurs and cult projects are built.

If you can hold, you wont be Rich by Cz, CEO of Binance Exchange parable on his tweet, the word make me to realized my passed mistake of Bull run, which i did not invest much on Bitcoin, like wise other Alt-coin, that i was left behind last bull run. which i have learn my a lot from this forum in times of like sharing information and discussion respect to Bull and Bear market time circle of every 4years of Bitcoin having normally occur that skyrocket the price, therefore, the best time to invest is now, while holding for next Bull Run.    

Right, in other words, bear season and bullish season are there for a reason and both of them is important, no one is more important than the other one and they are not seriously existing with a sole reason to make our lives difficult.

Just imagine a bear season as a planting season and a season for the cryptocurrencies to be tested if they are truly worth it or not, while the bull season as season to harvest what we sow. Aside from that, there are also some investors who still accumulate coins in the height of bullish season because they believe that they are still buying those specific coins at a much cheaper price as they envisioned that it will be much more expensive in the future.

If I understand you correctly, you are asking if the bear market is more important than the bull market.

Simply put, the bear market is as important as the bull market. Without the bear, then cryptocurrency will be totally out of control. So, in a way, the bear market allows some level of calmness.

Bear market and bull market are both important and should be complimenting each other. The reason why after a bearish market, a bullish market is expected to come, and vice versa. If you will just ignore the bear market, then you will never be very profitable when the bull market comes as bear market comes with accumulation and long term hodling of promising coins. And with bull market, that’s the perfect time to reap all what you have been planting during bearish market.

We can never expect people to understand it because what is in their minds is to keep on profit every day. Like, if they are investing now, they expect profit tomorrow. But for us who have been here for quite a long time in the market, we value each situation knowing that both of them places an important role and of course, as an opportunity. It is just we need and look deeper into what these two conditions could give us as they are somehow giving us benefits in return.

Bear market - buying opportunity
Bull market -  selling opportunity

The financial market cannot always move up. So bear and bull markets are equally important.
In a bear market, no doubt people can buy bitcoin cheap. The prices are so attractive to buy and invest in bitcoins in a bear market. However, there is a hope for the bull market all the time and that is the reason people wait in the bear market for bitcoin to move into a bull market and the investor can gain a lot of profit. It is the bull season when you will find bitcoin all over social media and the hype for bitcoin will be at its peak.

yes, it is. but sometimes I often see people who buy during the bull market even though it is very risky, but during the bear market they are even afraid to buy, but uniquely I have also experienced something like that. and I feel like I want to laugh at my behavior in the past. because in the past I was always afraid to buy when the market was bear. for fear the price will fall further down. when in fact a bear market is a golden opportunity to buy.

The bear market is a big opportunity that always remind us to keep buying for these that really have the fund and understand tge market movement. I so much like bear market because it build us to learn how to be very patient and endure for long. The market is not always going upward which we know but many times greed and fear will not allow us to buy now and hold for the future bull market that could give us many profits that will change our story. Let's not miss this bear market and see it as an opportunity of buying and accumulating.

Generally both markets are equally important but I also prefer a bear market because in a bear market I can buy a lot of bitcoins or potential coins cheaply. In addition, the bear market is extremely necessary, it will help us remove garbage projects, useless projects from the market, the market needs to be cleaned regularly. The bear market is also a screening space to find out who are the real investors and who are the weak hands, the rewards are not distributed equally to everyone but only to the most deserving.

You don't have to rely or depend on bear and bull market. None of them are bad. We need both for a healthy market growth. Bear market helps more investors to join the crypto market. The more the price goes down, the more new and existing investors will be willing to invest and hold for long term. When the bull market takes place, old investors will likely exit by selling their coins and taking the profit and wait for the next bear market to maximize the profit. But none of them is actually important. The most important thing is you making the decision when to invest. Doesn't matter if it is a bear or the bull  market, if you have money lying around and you can afford to invest (and lose everything), then just go ahead, invest and hold.

In my opinion, I think both markets are important. It all depends on which side of the divide you are. I mean they help maintain balance in the market. Shake off weak hands, bring in new entrants and ensure a sort of level playing field for all at each point in time. 

Some people argue that the bear market is a correction, but things are not going well. But trading currency, you can always have a profit.
For example, wait for a significant drop in bitcoin price, usually by 5% or more. Buying during such dips almost always guarantees a profit when the rise follows.

both are important in certain conditions and in certain positions. so nothing is more important between the two. because the bear market becomes important for those who are accumulating and bringing in new investors. as of now even the BTC Holders continue to grow and has reached its new ATH for addresses with holders of 1 bitcoin more. ie it has reached 921,578 maybe even more now.

In a bear market, the enthusiasm of some people will be reduced, and a small number of people will be lost. But only ups and downs can attract people. Accumulate slowly in a bear market and start to break out in a bull market.

In fact, for good projects, the bear market opportunity is better, because only bear market users can truly learn with peace of mind and improve themselves,At this time, everyone does not have such a big utilitarian heart, and is more likely to sink their hearts to understand the essence of a project.

It depends on what currency you buy. If the altcoin market sentiment is not important, you can buy it at a low price in a bear market, and wait until the bull market is a good time to harvest, but you have to make sure you can hold it.
