Everyone loses money when the market is down right?

[mejalipat]

most people have lost their money when the market goes down because they panic and sell coins they have at a low price, but not everyone loses, there are some who still think clearly and can even get money when the price goes down

Not everyone loses when the market goes down, usually when the market signals to go down the traders are converted to usdt and wait to buy at lower prices. You need to monitor and stoploss when necessary.

[Windmoney@1]

Not everyone because it also serve as opportunity for many people to buy and make cool money... In the other way Rand some people do lost money when market is a little bit down

[Winston Tate]

No, the people who do shorts don't lose, they earn.

Although Bitcoin may increase by several hundred million dollars a year, it should not blindly invest in this virtual currency. Anything that fluctuates 20-30% in a day is unstable. Therefore, investing in Bitcoin can lost all your possessions or you may be able to make a million dollars from it.

Yes it can make you lose a lot of your possessions but that is also the reason why you only need to invest a value that you can lose in this bear market, so keep on holding your coins today while the price is still low.

[Tran Dinh Nam]

Definitely yes! But we can prevent of getting lose by just holding our coins in our wallet. In that scenario, we can say that we will avoid of getting lose. However, holding of coins are always risking our capital and many investors are fear for their assets to be fade away. Therefore, only few investors succeed of holding from entire bear market

[jiniyaakter]

I bought some coin when price up but now price down so I hold my coin but now this is the good time to buy coin because market is down

[Cassidyblaze55]

Virtually, if you are a Cryptocurrency investor, its a must that you would lose money if market is going down except you know technical analysis so that you would know when price is going down

[Holucoin10]

Not everyone. I have heard the saying that many loose for many to gain and vice versa, and this seems true most times. When you buy something, you loose money for the other person to gain. The other person loose the something for you to gain. so, if the something eventually worth more, days later, the seller just lost some values, and if otherwise, the buyer incurred two losses.  Market analysis is crazy really, but I'm sure some people even prefer market downtrend, cause of what they stand to gain after the market goes up.

Most crypto investors are in the rush to join the bullish market as a result of FOMO while they haven’t figured out why they are investing. This is often done on impulse or based on speculations that highly predict the value of cryptocurrencies. Just like holding a portfolio of bonds or stocks one needs to have goals they seek to achieve using funds from the Return on the investments. This is why they are loosing, and others that know have an investment plan are gaining.

It is so important for any investor to have a set of objectives they plan to meet and alternative strategies they can take if they do not meet targets. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile which makes it necessary for any investor to be disciplined by setting goals. For example, one can do fundamental analysis and evaluate which projects might take a longer time to gain profits and which projects are currently at their peak for quick profits

Anyways, with how much all the coins are dropping, is it even possible for any trader to make money on days or weeks like this?

Indeed, at that time all traders may not be able to make a profit, but there are still better ways to do this, in the face of this critical decline situation, namely by buying (for those who have money) or holding it, in a few hours, day and month. Even though we cannot make a profit, at least we can avoid losses, and will benefit in the future.

[minime0105]

When the market is in down, yes, there are ways to make money. In crypto as far as I observed when the market starts going down it will continue to do so and it won't stop so if you catch a period like this in the market like how BTC collapsed from 7k to 6,4000 region today one could have sold then and then bought at the lower price

[BitSat]

Bitcoin and altcoins keep dropping every single hour but then this doesn't happen for a long time at the end the price gets stable or at least it recovers a bit. It never happens that a coin is keeping on going down continuously unless it is a shitcoin which is about to get trashed. The only time to make profit in such situations is when the coin recovers slightly sometimes price declines and sometimes price grows it is on this you can earn. It's just a short term trade. There is nothing complicated in it if you understand everything. Moreover, there are strategies for earning in the bear market.

[West0813]

Only those people who bought cryptos in its all time high is really loosing their money. Down market does not mean all people lose their money. In fact there are some people who are buying cryptos in this down market.

Yes obviously, everyone will be losing money but then it was also the time when you can invest a huge amount of coins in order to earn more profit when the market prices will go back to normal.

[Bakemat]

Only those people who bought cryptos in its all time high is really loosing their money. Down market does not mean all people lose their money. In fact there are some people who are buying cryptos in this down market.

Most of the people will lose money, those who are holding a huge amount, but for those people that wants to join the industry then it was the right time to invest since the market is currently dropping.

[Omega Weapon]

In fact, not all of them experience losses, maybe only people who sell their assets at very cheap prices suffer losses, but some people will still be able to hold their assets because they do not sell the assets they have at cheap prices.

This is something that people forget, you do not lose money until to sell your coins, when the market is down you only have potential losses it is not only until you actually sell when those losses materialize, so as you can see it doesn't make a lot of sense to sell your coins but still people are not acting in a rational way when they do that because they are afraid that the coins in which they invested go to zero.

[Gadhoh]

Not everyone, people who doesn't analyze the market will encounter loss. In detail on analysis it is possible to find whether the price fall will continue or will get stopped. Based on this it is good to go with further buying or selling, this way can stay away from losses even when the market is down. Other options were trading and holding for the price pump.

some of them are really panicked so they sell their bitcoins whether it's just a few or even everything. A very risky mistake when this happened even though it was enough with patience, holding it back until the price actually recovered.

So with how much bitcoin and all the altcoins are down, is it even possible for any trader to make any money?  Example let say this.  You buy btc at a very low price due to these dips.  Now you could either keep btc or buy altcoins with it.  Now the market goes down every single day.  First off, does anyone know if btc or any altcoins ever have a day where the prices drop every single hour?  Or is that impossible?


Anyways, with how much all the coins are dropping, is it even possible for any trader to make money on days or weeks like this?  Im thinking its only possible if they make sure they sell it at the right hour and minute etc in order to profit.  But of course if they are down almost all day, how is it even possible for anyone to make any money?  Sure when the market goes back up in a while, and the price gets higher than they bought it at and now they sell, the profit.  However, the same ppl who hold the coins will profit as well.


Because doesn't it seem like there is no skill involved at all it seems?  Because if the market is down for a long time, what percentage of traders are even making any money when the market is down?  Of course if you got a coin at like 10 cents a long time ago and then it went to 5 dollars... and now because of this.. its now down to say 1 dollar, well you are still up money if you sell it now.  But the same ppl who got this coin probably got it at over 3 dollars and lost a huge percentage of its value.


So is it true almost everyone loses money when the market is down?  And almost everyone makes money when the market is up?  Because if btc goes up, the alts follow.  BTC drops, everything follows.  Its like there is zero skill at all almost.   Such that yes when it goes up, some altcoins might go up higher than others.  Also why do certain very good altcoins drop when btc drop if that project is very good etc?  Yes i know you need btc to get that coin and vice versa but its like its either everyone wins or everyone loses.


So right now market is down a lot especially for those who bought not that long ago.  So where is the skill here?  Its basically when to sell and when to buy right?  However, when market is down like this, who is damn making any money?  Because isn't almost everyone losing money?  The only ppl that i could see that likes this huge dip are those that have usd/usdt ready and picking when to buy.  Of course they could have waited till btc was 8k and thought great i buy now or buy alts and each of these already lost a lot already.


Who is making any money now when the market is down?  The ppl who are selling?  Surely not since the price they sell now is much less than before.  Also just curious but does this apply to stocks and forex trading as well?  I know that well stock market goes up, doesn't almost all the stocks all go up it seems?  The same can be said of forex or am i wrong here?  I only know forex is money trading with different currencies etc.  Because when you look at other things like poker or sportsbetting... someone is winning and someone is losing.  Also to anyone that bets sports or knows about sports, you might hear how all the wise guys are losing money.  Wise guys are sophisticated sharp bettors that are much smarter than your average joe.   That average joe most likely bets very square picks... meaning like obvious public teams etc.  However, the thing is the public does win.  And when they do that, sportsbook would lose money.  But usually they get it back and the average joe loses it back betting very public plays and the sophisticated bettors aka sharps win again.  However, i heard of sharps having really bad seasons etc.



So based on that, doesn't it seem like crypto trading is basically everyone wins or everyone loses?  Because in sportsbetting, yes the house does win and they house could also have a losing streak.  But eventually they win back the average joes money.  But if the average joe gets lucky and goes on a huge run whether betting favorites or underdogs or whatnot, its possible for him to win for a long time or lose for a long time.  Also let say you have a few players who are sharp sportsbettors and a few average joes.  Well if the sharp guys are winning, most likely the average joes are losing.  If the sharp guys are losing, average joes are most likely winning.  I say this because they usually play opposite plays most of the time.  But no matter what, someone has to win.  Whether its the sportsbook or the bettor.  Also in sportsbetting, there is something called live betting where its like trading.  Basically you can bet on either side while the game is going on when odds change always etc.  But when you live bet, if one player bets this team while another player bets another team... remember each of these players are betting against the sportsbook, one player will win... the other loses.  Thus that is where the skill comes in.  So does anyone here feel like the market dictating winning or losing is just stupid?  I mean if market is down, who is making any money?  Its like ppl say when there is a bull market, everyone thinks they are a genius.  Well if its a bull market, the only thing you have to think about is okay i will buy btc but should i exchange it for altcoin or not and which one.



Anyone here have thoughts or opinions on this?  I got excited about cryptocurrency and trading and wanted to do it.  But now when i look at it, its basically look at the market.  There doesn't seem to be any skill in it.  Can anyone here correct me with any of my statements especially if i made any especially in sportsbetting?  Thanks.

When everything is going down well its best to HODL! If you dont feel pretty confident on trading on a daily basis HODL will secure the mark to gain more profits when bull market starts. Its just a matter of analysis and decision making during hard times. If you feel safe to trade then go ahead buy them back later to save yourself from losing. Not everyone is losing when market is down and you should appreciate it to fill your bags and thank me later.
