  Any coin that survives this bear market will do well come the bull season

I think that the crypto market as a whole is so big and professional now in comparison to 3 years ago that basically every project that is in the top 200 in terms of marketcap is a multi million dollar company that should have no big problems to survive 2 or 3 years of bear market if the project is managed in a responsible way. My take on the bear market is, that it is of course a bad thing overall but at least we have a chance to invest into big and established projects with a massive discount.

You are wrong, some projects will survived the bear market but they will never go back to their old all time high again, so be careful which altcoin you invest some money on, once you make some profits from them move to another newer better projects.

ATH is not the point here but rather there's a great recovery for project that survives this bear market since investors will surely buying spree any token that still not moving to catch up some profit on a bull run market.

ATH is still very far since the current marketcap of crypto is just 1/3 of the marketcap during ATH but that doesn't mean that crypto won'thave a good recovery if it didn't reach the new ATH.

That’s the main point that many should focus on . But sadly no major altcoin other than ETH seems to be surviving. When the big boss Bitcoin is struggling, how can these even move up in the graph? People are afraid to buy Bitcoins in this bear market, so definitely they might have forgotten the altcoins. Nevertheless we should keep a watch on the top 10 coins at coinmarketcap. These coins have great marketcap and will definitely rise in the next bull run. Let’s hope for positivity in every aspects.

you can buy potential coins with high hype next year, NFT and Metaverse are candidates that I think will hype again,
especially now that Elon Musk has also bought Twitter and it is certain that NFT adoption will be very large there,
several metaverse and web 3 coins are also pumping now because of this news, so it can be said that there is great potential in the coin,
buying FLOW, OGN, MASK and TVK coins in my opinion can be safe in this bear market.

Lol, dude take a look at cmc and coingecko, it seems majority of the coins are still very much around even though their price has fallen.
Most certainly tons of them will survive and be around for the next bull season, but that does not indicate they are for the long term.

Your post doesn't make much sense, but I am assuming that you are trying to say that any coins that survived the bear season is going to do great in the bull market? Isn't that obvious? Most of the coins that are has good reputation, actively being developed, has good use cases and utilities has and will survive every bear market. Only coins that are meme coins (except for some), clone coins and shitcoins are the ones that gets wiped out during a bear market. Keep holding those top well known coins and invest more during a bear market. You will make some excellent profit in the long run. Avoid coins that are hyped or related to memes if you would like to take less risk.

Hard to find it with alts except ETH or XRP, but to make things sure put your money in Bitcoin, while the price is still very low.
Your description perfectly fits with Bitcoin btw. It is the only coin I know that survived a lot of bear market and it recovers a thousand times and even hit an ATH after every 3-4 years.

Your assertion is not completely true. Some project are just hype designed for the bear, they fade away with the bear. This was how I played with many ETH during the uniswap madness, when proper bull run came, they either rug or went dormant till date. It's important you carefully analyze projects before joining a deadly train.

Not all coin that survives the bear market will do well on the bull season.  It still depends on the community and new investors.  But I am sure Bitcoin, ETH, BNB, and those at top 50 of the market cap will definitely do well in the bull season.


There is two possible thought in this.  The first one is like what you think it is.  And the second one is like asking for advice for a coin that survives in this bear market and will do well in the bull season.

If you see risk in altcoins then you should focus only on the bitcoin it will also give you good profit if you buy now and hold till the next halving.

Could you name those projects? I want to know what they were.

Bro Alts are risky, and there is no doubt in it but alts are far more profitable then BTC we need to consider it as BTC 3x profit and alt can be 5x to 10x still point is Bitcoin is Consistent.

So on the second half I can say yes there are some projects that survived the bear of 2022 and one of them is TRX as many Alts moved with the market but TRX was so stable in all these pumps and dumps.

That cannot guaratee anything.
You can survive the bear market even at your lowest value but still you need to be good so investors can see your worth. This should not be the basis when you invest, it's still better to look at the price trend and the updates before you invest. This is a basic rule in investing regardless if it's a coin/token, you have to analyze.

Even most of the top 10 coins in the marketcap cannot give us an assurance that they will always be profitable and reach their new ATH when bull run comes. So probably, let’s just focus more on bitcoin and ethereum for long term hodling as they will eventually skyrocket again when bullish market is here. Although we can always invest with the rest of the coins but never expect too much price increase from them as they will just follow whatever the path of bitcoin takes.

still highly depends in their growth honestly, some coin might survive the current trend but if they bring no growth whatsoever, they might never get the flow of investments in the bullish season, if it's some of the high ranked coin I'm sure they are gonna recover back their value quite easily but it's the low value and market capitalization coin that's still full of doubt whether they could ever recover again.

Yeah, probably 90% of the project that survived the crypto winter might do good in the bull run. But it's going to be tough, I mean we still have a whole year in 2023, so they will be tested. I think not only projects but mid to lower exchanges (that does not scam), will have a low rate of survival.

And the thing with this coins is, if you have been lucky to invest in bearish market, hold and then in the bull run they become of the hottest projects and investors pouring their money on it, for sure it's going to be a big windfall for you. So let's continue to find those gems right now,  ;D

Agreed, the ability to survive during the bearish market shows that if the token has enough capability to face the bearish market. that means there are even demands during the bearish market. It's unlike majority of shit tokens that were doing dead during the bearish market happened.
Bitcoin is showing a good sign caused by the FED has been stopping to raise the interest even higher. US has been confirmed to avoid the recession. This gives so many hope for crypto to make its comeback for the next season.
Im still waiting for another good news that may come very soon about crypto especially bitcoin. The good news about bitcoin may be able to pump the price of all crypto that is still survive right now.

When in terms of survived, what do you mean here? Their market price?

What if these coins still not performed well once the bull run commences?

That's not the key basis for choosing altcoins. There are other good factors you have to look at.

No, you are oversimplifying things, even if some shitcoins avoid disappearing that does not mean they will succeed once a new bull market emerges, and the reason for this is that at that point we will see many developers releasing their coins, so we will have a lot of projects which will do the same as the coins which survived the bear market, with the difference the hype will be way more recent and as such new investor will prefer to invest in them than in a bunch of coins which have not moved up for years.

All the coins are surviving the bear market even though the prices of the coins are dropping sharply. But later, we will see which coin will be able to increase its price step by step when the bull market comes. And we will also see coins that will disappear from the market due to the lack of support from people who have already moved to other coins that have more potential to increase in the future.

And it looks like the coins in the top 50 list will have a chance to stay in the market and maybe the top coin list position will change in the next altcoin season. So you better analyze the coins and buy them now so that you are not too late to buy them.

Yeah, probably in the top 50, maybe it is safe that they will survived this bear market and then it's one of them will position themselves or at least improved their rankings. And there are a lot of good coins in the top 50 that has the potential to let's say break into the top 20 in the next bull run, specially those project that are in the metaverse. I think it will be big in the future.

For the rest, maybe they will just die, I remember I have a couple of them in 2018, and much touted projects. But they didn't last long, not sure if they are still in the ecosystem. But I haven't heard any update on them so I might think they are gone now.

Truth is they might actually survive the bear season but they might never go back to their ATH

haha it actually very true. The best project till this date is bitcoin which can survive in a bear market eth as the queen maybe included as well.

---

for my opinion we need to constant see what is project doing is the development going is the community still active and many more

What do you mean survive? Many altcoins will survive, but they may not have the funds for further development and they will continue to exist, but they will not show much growth. They may have some small periodic pumps, but it will be difficult to call it growth. If you want to invest in altcoins, then at least look at who has good pumps now, this will increase the chances of them repeating in a bull market, but remember alts are always big risks.

What do you mean by "survives"? In the top100, top200 on coinmarketcap there are many projects that have survived on the market for many years, have survived more than one bear and bull run and are still developing, but they will probably never come close to their ATHs again. See for example on DASH - on the market for about 10 years, one of the best cryptos for daily payments, work on the project is still ongoing, but currently the price fluctuates around $40, and ATH is over $1600.

I guess, there are some projects that will survival in this bear season and collapse in the future because they lack standard team. Any projects that will survival in this bear season and still remain strong for their customers to earn well in the future, can be determine by their team because it is through their team you can be able to determine the project that will stand well in the future. If you can invest in Ethereum in this bear season, you will surely have something good to earn in the future because their team are capable to make their customers happy in the future.

What survives doesn't mean it can be profitable, maybe that's how it is. There are many coins that can survive in a bear market, but not all of them have great potential. It's a good idea to be more selective in deciding which coins we will invest in. Or even the same koion we expect will show a significant increase in the bull market later. There are many choices of altcoins, we can indeed invest anywhere, but not all of them will provide benefits.

Bear market does have some benefits, not just being “one-sided” or being “negative” with it. The best time to build projects in the crypto and Web3 space is when things are going quiet like what we have experienced right now in the bear market. It is all about planting seeds before the “big rain” comes.

We’ve already survived so many bear market events in the past (even the long ones and the 2018 great Bitcoin crash). No doubt that we can do the same if we just have to think outside of the box and grabbing more money making opportunities on the side.

At the recent time I think Dogechain coin will do well in the bull market and it's surviving in this bear market. We can buy it now in a very cheap price. It will surely pump hard in the bull market.

That's true because there will always be changes in market positions, especially in the top 10, 20, 50, and 100 lists. Perhaps the position of the coins that currently occupy the top list can be replaced in the future because of the latest technology that can provide advantages over coins -old coins. But old coins that already have advantages may still survive in the future.

I also have coins that have been around since 2018 but even though the coins seem to be suspended, I can see that some are still trading their coins. But I don't think the coin can go back to its prime, but if it could, it might be one of the hidden gems. I hope so ;D

That's how it is and that's what makes crypto difficult to predict because anything can happen,
regarding the bear market will definitely change in the future although we never know for sure when the bull market will come,
but for now i think we have to be realistic and i don't see bull market coming soon

As I can see the market is still in the bear phase, and some big players are manipulating the price of each altcoin since they can gain a lot of profit. It would be much better to always analyze the market before taking action to prevent getting huge losses.

If it is still traded and is able to maintain its volume and the project continues, it may still be able to return to its heyday. But the problem is whether the project is still managed by the developer or not, try to look at the exchange that trades the coin, how much volume is there or is it only run by bots. Some of my past project coins that were originally still very valuable, but are now just dust in my wallet.

There's nothing much in this bear market that can be compared with the previous, I have seen some projects which I thought may not stand till date are actively doing well and still maintaining trading volume. So saying if any coin or crypto could survive this will do well to me is understatement because no much project folded this bear market from my views.

I think by survive they mean that something that will not go down too much, like if the market goes down 60% then it should continue to go down with that much and not more. Just to give an example, the whole market is down but Luna is even more down because of the problem they had right? That's a good example, it's more down than everyone else. That's what people mean when they talk about this.

I believe that not all coins would go down the same amount, but the reality is that not all coins will go up as much as the other ones during the bull run neither. That will be the decisive factor, the ones that go up more than the others will profit you a ton.

Well, it was not a new question raised by newcomers because if you are here and have experienced the previous bear season, certainly you can say that these potential coins and those who have a working product will definitely survive this market condition. But, of course, the recovery couldn't be fast, it takes time to fully come to it like 1 year or 2, which can be expected.

And if you are buying any of the top 10 or 20 coins, you can have peace of mind. What just you need is to be patient as the bull season will come sooner.

From hundreds of scams to hundreds of good projects, there's no way of telling how many projects will survive the Bear market. However, there are always a few ones you can almost be certain that will survive and will possibly hand out some awesome profits on the next bull run. As secrecy is the mother of all business, of course, I'm not going to tell you what coins will still be around and what coins will not live to see the next bull run, but what I can tell you is that most possibly the classical cryptos will still be around...

that's for sure. It's a common thing that already known by majority of people for coins that able to survive right now can do even well during the bullish season. It's cuased by these coins can hodl the value during the bearish season. that means if investors are not even leaving all of them.
They have liquidity. that proves that if investors are still interesting to see these coins to go up massively during the bearish trend in the market. That's why im thinking that if investing in a project with good fundamental is a must right now.
It's the main choice rather than blindly investing in the new project that doesn't have future.

This may be one of the best times to accumulate or bag some low cap gems to maximize the profits for the upcoming market reversal. It's still high risk but the rewards should be able to recover your losses from the last two to three years. BTC and other major alts will start the rally then you have mid and low caps follow.

Not all coins that can survive from this bear market can grow and rise up significantly in the next bullrun. SOme may be able to, but others may not be able to. We have seen so many examples from previous altcoins in the previous Bullrun. Many altcoins couldn't pass their previous ATH, moreover, the price is still really worse and not rising up again. This is normal because a new bullish market will commonly includes many new comers that may be more popular and potential to trade and invest. But for some other coins that have really big value like Bitcoin,Etheruem, and maybe BNB, they may have higher chance to ris eup much more.

Hopefully, it can return to its heyday but that is not easy because of the competition with other new coins or tokens with almost the same or even greater support. When viewed from the community, there may be some that the developer still manages because the project is still running even though there have been no updates like other projects. I might not be okay if the coins haven't been able to go up high because the money I used wasn't too big when I bought the coins. I even have coins that turn to dust, as you said and maybe it will be an eternal stash hahaha.

Any shitcoin that survives the bear market will do well in the next bull run. How about coins created during the bear that has not experienced bull before. They will definitely survive the bear, maybe if they were created few months to exit the bear. During the bull they can cash out and dump the project. The crypto industry is so wide and the wider it becomes, the more confused investors will be. But top 10 coins will not disappoint, not until the next bitcoin halving.

altcoins are always risky including the top 10 coins. do you remember the top coins from previous bear seasons?, iOTA, EOS, BCH... and many more. when bear season arrives, people still expect them to be coins that can help them weather the bear season and profit in the next bull season. but after that, all could not return to the old ATH level and were gradually replaced by other emerging coins such as Sol, Near, Atom…the market altcoins is complex and unpredictable, topcoins will not die but there is no guarantee that they will recover and grow while new and better altcoins prepare to launch.

Bear market is the moment where weak projects quenched to liquadation and it's the major cause of people assets loss. I don't trust all these shitcoins out there, because they're versatile and can do the unthinkable. Just check when Luna dumps heavily, it was frustrating for traders and investors who were keeping hope on the coin. Although I'm positive that most coins will survive the bear season and will definitely pump during the bull season. Is time to study the market and knows how it operates because crypto is becoming more difficult by the day.

Now that is also good indicator to a project survival and credibility index. Right now many projects are biting the dust left , right and center. Even new ones are finding it hard to take off. The older experienced ones are stagnating, and are finding it difficult to keep to their roadmap and thus promises

The world are facing economies challenges in one way or the other, which effect the cryptocurrency market as well, the bear session is a just a matter of time, the Bull run start, which is a gradually process for bull run to come and is not something that can come overnight, but the survivals holders is to keep feeling up your bags, by investing at a cheaper rate, while waiting for pump session.

Altcoins that survive the bear market won't guarantee success in the future(bull market).

Thousands of altcoins will survive if that's the case but the issue is whether will they continue to grow in price or remain stagnant at their lowest price if the bull market starts. I have heard stories of altcoins that survive the bear market, which leads to the end of those altcoins. No continuity and promotions of the project.

I agree with @OP because many coins are trying to hold on hard, let alone trying to keep their price from falling too deep in this bear market. Each project team strives to continue providing full support for the coin or token to survive the bear market. So we'll see later which coin will manage to survive in this bear market and will increase its price again in the bull season. Most importantly, just prepare yourself to hold your coins and hope that your coins can rise again in the bull season.

You need to spend longer time if you really want to understand how the market works, it's not just an easy journey where you can always rely with the current sentiments, if you wanted to have a better view on how to expect with the coin/asset that you are holding or supporting you needed to work with the team in terms of doing your research and following the development of the said project.

Surviving is possible for those who know the drill and are capable of adjusting in each market directions, bear is a good opportunity for every trader who takes their time observing and waiting for the asset to fall.

But the chance of bouncing back is very possible in the coming days or even years of holding.

It is true that the top 10 coins are not safe haven, they can also be heavily affected by the market. Some top 10 coins we see today were not there somewhere 2018. But comparing top 10 to some shit projects makes top 10 safer. But it does not mean it is as safe as bitcoin. There is to an extent a coin will reduce anf it will no longer return to normalcy, no matter how long you may wait in vain.

Then I belive that any top 10 coin that has survived the bear till now, will definitely survive till the next bull. Gradually the industry has gotten used to the bear and we are patiently waiting for the greener days.

You have a lot of time to prepare in this bear adventure, that's why I love this time slot. For the most suitable basket, of course, I usually prefer CMC top 100 coins. I think the current prices are suitable for choosing altcoins. However, it would be more ideal to prefer Major altcoins. It won't be successful because there will be thousands of altcoins, you just don't want to sit back and watch it.

Shitcoins are where the problem begins during the bull run as well and that’s why I hate them so much. I mean in reality, we are talking about a situation where it would be idiotic to invest, but people see them as a way to make quick profit and during the bull run it does become a quick way to make money and they all invest into it.

Of course when the bear starts, these shitcoins are the ones that drop a ton, and that’s a problem, we shouldn't really have something like that in the long run. I personally hope that it would end in the next bull run, but there is a big possibility that it won't and people would still invest into them.

Retail investors who have survived the bear market will also be wiser in the next bull market. Of course, excellent encryption projects are not afraid of the conversion of bulls and bears.

People who loves taking the short run believing that the promises coming from the scam developers are legit, they will continue to patronize this kind of investment, whatever the outcome there are always people who will think that shit coins still have the good chance of bringing them the target profits that they were aiming, might sometimes it can fulfil that dream but most of the times are not,

the chance is too slim while being a scam is widely broadcast after the sudden downfall of each scam project.

100 coins are huge, it is better to lower your criteria in choosing coins like the top 20 or the top 10. Because I could assume that many coins from the top 100 are still worthless to invest in and a waste of time either. Like if we just make a choice from the top 20 or 10, we are sure that these coins will survive the bear season.

When I choose coins, it doesn't matter to me the price but the potentiality of the particular project. I've experience buying cheap coins before but sadly, I haven't a chance to sell them, and it was one of the top 100 coins in the CMC.

Definitely there is nothing hidden in the cryptocurrency industry there have been wave of bear affecting the market and many altcoin seems not to withstand the market pressure while others already dead, so possible any coin or project that could lead after the bear would definitely became a gem in the next bull run and such altcoin are good to have some investment tied over there. The question is how do you determines those altcoin presently?

Not necessarily mate, there are coins that do well in one bear run only to recover a little in the next bull run and then get abandoned in the next bear run, because the developers become tired of the constant "crypto winters". Most altcoins are anyway going to be like that because this sector is niche and has a very small group to market on. Such altcoins will only come to make money for their own advisors and teams but then run away before you know it.

While mainstream markets survive bear runs because of a lot of supporters out there and because they already have a working product/service, such solid evidence is lacking in crypto where many vaporware projects run like anything.

Don't be confused about which altcoin you must have when a bear market occurs. The top 10 altcoins on coinmarketcap can be an option, especially if choosing Ethereum will be the best choice of all altcoins. put some money to invest in Ethereum when the market is bearish like this and hold it until the bull market arrives. this will give a good return or profit. there is no doubt on Ethereum as the top altcoin, and also buying bitcoin at its current low price would be great too. buy and hold the top coins that have good potential, it becomes a workable suggestion.

Altcoins are no longer very relevant these days except for the topmost coins in the marketcap as most of them have turned out scams and some just gone easily since they struggle hard from bear market survival. So it’s either you go into bitcoin and ethereum, or just leave the market quietly just because of the fears to take the risk.

It's looking more like it as time goes on, honestly. Many projects are folding up as the bear season bites harder and deeper. I was reading in another thread where that OP was asking about Litecoin and the silence that has greeted it. I had a look and found out it's not really doing badly at $68 and ranked 21 on the list. I remember when it competed strongly and was among the top 10. Now, many of these coins seem forgotten. It's often the pattern during a bear season. Those that survive it become better for it.

When it comes to survival of these projects then it would really be always end up or pertain about its demand whether on a bear market or bull market.Its really hard to pinpoint on what project would be able to survive
and which is not.You cant always determine that it could always have that kind of rebound or bounceback whenever the market would tend out to recover.Its true that the one who do survive the bear and didnt die
along the process then are the ones who do able to withstand it but doesnt automatically says that it would be pumping on the next trend.We've seen there are projects who do just simply
move sideways or didnt rise up at all even though its already the start of green market which does simply signifies that it wont really be that a guarantee.

When they give you 100x return during the bull run, you are going to end up risking it for the next one as well. There are a lot of people who invested in silly stuff, stuff that they shouldn't have invested into and they made 10x or more profit from it by luck.

This means they will have enough money to risk, because their 1k turned into 10k or even maybe 50k who knows, and that means they can spare 10k and put it in 10 other coins as 1k each. That’s what happens during bull run, but the moment bear run starts the first place people will withdraw their money from will be the risky shitcoins they invested into, so they will drop even faster and sharper than other trustworthy coins too.

I could agree more, and the moment they experienced that kind of luck they will think that they can simply duplicate it and made another good run when investing to silly projects, they are not afraid of taking the risk whenever they see a project that making some hypes, but once the bear run hit them out, that the time they will realize that crypto is not an easy venue to earn but a business that needed to learn for you to succeed.


Just like how I explained it and that's what the reality in most cases, People who tend to invest and make some good money during the bull will continue to be greedy, I'm not generalizing but there are people or trader who have this kind of mentality, instead of reassessing, they will proceed and continue trying to make more money but ending it up by losing more, worse, making them empty-handed with lots of regrets with their trading experienced.

I'm going straight - a lot of coins to survive at this bear season but if we talk about shitcoins, doubted any of them will do that as possible they will turn dead. So make sure that you are free from having any of them but rather buy and keep those potential coins that we believe that it will survive in any kind of market condition and we know that gives us profit.

Some people are talking about luck but this is not what we needed, research is very important and of course, choosing the right coin.

I disagree.

Any coin that will survive the bear market might really survive the bear market, but they might not do well when bull market comes. I mean there are some coins that might survive but might not reach their past ATH. I remember EOS back in 2017 when it reaches its ATH of nearly 21$ IIRC and then it went back down. In the recent bull run, the highest price EOS has ever reached was only ~15$ I think. Many altcoins suffered the same while there are some who luckily surpassed their past ATH.
