Whales are whales, and they use the market volatility to generate a profit. Of course, the bear season is also called as accumulating season, whales can never think of skipping it but rather grab the opportunity. In fact, they have been buying during the bull season, so never do we think they will never do it during this time. Well, as we know that whales are too influential, and with the help of these people we, therefore, see a glimpse of some price increase when they will take action (manipulate).

They are coming fast but ended fast as well.
In fact, I wasn't new to this kind of market motion, not only 1 or 2 but countless new projects created and roaming around. However, it was too unfortunate that the majority of them are even worthless, some have been used to scam innocent people. And those projects that you have mentioned are among them.

It may be you have an idea why many investors disregard new projects, it perhaps they are not worth trying during this time.

Actually, I was a little bit down seeing the situation but it never make me worried for the future of Bitcoin as I was truly believing that it has fortune. I was just thinking this is a normal scenario as not all the time we are a very healthy market, sometimes prices will fall. As I was in here for a few years, experiencing the last Bull season and long bear market, I'd really understand how this work and that is why I don't complain but rather accept the reality.

Ohh, well...
What I can say is that "Please stop thinking about when is the moon nor to think about ATH" this year as to whether you like it or not, that was really impossible. I may be wrong but as to see the market, we haven't found yet any significant pumps and market indicators for the rally. Perhaps, we can't say to have an instant recovery as it was known it takes years to fully recover.

We'd rather wait for the next halving as this will possibly save the market.

It is really stressful keeping on watching the market trend. It was advisable to take some break after buying as the situation was seemingly unhealthy.

Though I won't expect a huge drop again, however, we can't tell as well that we are into recovery. The price is just about to pump but it falls back down after a few days. That is why we can't simply think of earning easily. We need to learn how to hold as this was the best option for now.

For some reason, I won't say we are at the bottom already or even just about to come. Nothing could say we are in that situation, perhaps, the market is moving up and down. What we have to do is buy more if we can or just ignore if we are not. I couldn't be wise to hurry because of the big discount, We can't be all the time buying every drop we see, sometimes we also have to analyze the market become making a decision.

I guess OP, before we jump into assuming what happen with Shiba Inu by 2050, we go see first what is its performance in this bear season to test the capabilities of this project during the hard times. And to know if this really have the chance to stay long in the market and is competitive enough along with the market competition.

It was truly unpredictable - not even sure if this project will still exist 10 years from now.
Although we can't deny the amazing trend of Shiba Inu, we can't also neglect the possibility that one day this project will lose its value just like the other projects.

This is how I manage my money and I see this even working efficiently.
 - investment (40%)
 - holdings (20%)
 - necessities(30%)
 - others(10%)

I was focused more on investing and putting huge shares on there knowing that this is the only way to have financial freedom. I couldn't say this was beyond the limit, we could afford to risk more especially since we know that this could give us a passive return. I don't think this is like gambling that it needs luck, we endure this because we know ourselves that we can do it.

That's the point OP. We can't see the upcoming change nor do we have to underestimate the market. Of course, nothing wrong with waiting for the bottom price, however, the idea isn't really okay. If we can afford to buy coins during the bull season, we can't make an excuse not to buy at the current prices. Perhaps, we can still buy if the prices dump more. Being an investor, we simply take every opportunity given, to wait until the bottom come is actually a waste of time and sometimes we got tired of waiting for it.

Whether it was sports betting or in casinos, any form of gambling will give you losses if you are not in control already (addiction). We have to understand that before we got into this gambling, we already know that will possibly get after. It doesn't mean that we all gonna lose in gambling, of course, winning is possible but what went wrong is that we mostly chase our losses thinking we can get it back but sadly, we end up losing more. We have to correct this kind of mindset otherwise, this becomes the reason for emptying our bank accounts and properties.

Just to think that every drop is not totally reflecting negative as that is somehow a good time for investors.
Many had felt regrets last 2018 after missing the bottom price of Bitcoin but now, people are more optimistic. That's something to say that many had realized the situation and were able to understand the nature of the market and instead of getting into panic, the more getting strengthened their faith and trust as they once witness the capabilities of the market to rally despite the huge decrease.

It was their buying strategies that might differ and the amount spent. Real investors will take the risk in all market situations while casual investors sometimes do wait for the huge corrections before buying. However, their goal is to earn profit but in comparison, whales or huge investors are making more profit than the others.

Just to consider the current situation, whales are quite enough. Haven't heard any from them but we know they are too smart and wise enough not to miss this correction.

Perhaps, this was not new in the market. Many of these meme coins are turned dead, it was too lucky to see DOge and Shiba Inu gain some spot on the market making them still alive and kicking. But, it was not the factor to think that meme coins can be a great project someday as no longer possible. In fact, Dogecoin doesn't have that surge without the influence of Elong Musk and I'm worried that this person can still influence the mind of these newbies. Honestly, I can't afford to see people fall into the wrong investment because of him.

Perhaps, Bitcoin has been in the market for more than a decade and those who come earlier will tell that Bitcoin will never stay high or low forever as such volatility affects the trend changing its direction if very often. That is the reason why buying at a cheaper price is an opportunity but selling them because of seeing a declining trend is a big mistake. And besides, we come to invest in Bitcoin because of our positive hopes to earn some profit and multiply our money, not to become a reason for our losses.

On the other hand, as parents, we could be a perfect example to our kids. As to happen that kids are also encouraged to try gambling for this is what they saw from their parents, some had also been taught by them. But of course, the constant guidance of the parents helps to prevent this unwanted thing to happen, the earlier we stop them from having an interest in gambling and educate them is way better not to get into the point of addiction because it is really hard to stop.

We can't be precise about when to buy, yet it was the situation that could tell us and even encourage us to take the buy option. I'll go checking the market from time to time and it was going to see that the market is moving in an upward position. Nothing we could say it was late but sadly, we miss the chance while it dumps a few days before the surge. It was supposed to be the best entry but we just ignore it citing that there are more dumps to come. Well, this tells us that not all are able to risk, therefore, we can say that no matter what we do, missing the best time to buy/sell is still possible.

Ohh, those who think that Bitcoin is a scam are certainly in big regrets while seeing the price start to move high. It was too late for them to realize as they had already given the opportunity but unfortunately, they don't have the courage as they are being obsessed with negativity and doubts.

Honestly, I'd rather be scammed to the thing that I know(Bitcoin), rather than got fall into something that we have been promised but nothing happen in the end.

Yeah, I indeed become a victim to such false hopes buying cheap shitcoins thinking that I'll be earning huge money when it pumps (that was the year 2017) but unfortunately, even during the Bullrun, I'd never see it pump and much worse as it was delisted from the exchanges. However, this even help me to realize how important to have tools used to analyze the market, not just a simple research is enough to determine which coin or project is a good investment but must have to dig deeper and knows how to analyze their market performance.

Just like in the old days, Altcoins will tend to follow as Bitcoin will do the pump. This was the sentiment that we are looking for now and quiet to say that we are near to it (pump). This is the reason why we don't be negative about the downtrend as to know that the market isn't always on the high level, it will also dump to give an opportunity. Now, as the market loos good and moves high, it will prove that the market is alive, not dead as many says.

I don't see myself that I was relieved, it was just how the market moves, and expected moments.

Thank you as well @CryptopreneurBrainboss for the opportunity and for working 4 weeks with you as my CM is a great pleasure. Looking forward to be  a part if your campaign soon.
