Bitcoin Is Now Officially In Its Longest Bear Market Ever

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I don't know that we've been in a bear market for the last few months, as bitcoin's price has been just flat.  It's been more of a stretch of price stability.  Bear markets are defined as something like a drop of 10% over the course of a year, but it seems like that already happened quite a while ago--the drop from $20k to where bitcoin is today happened relatively quickly, and it's been stalled for what seems like forever.

If bitcoin stayed in the $3500-4000 range for all of 2019, I don't think that would qualify as a bear market.  Nevertheless I'm hoping that btc doesn't remain in that rangr all year, that it can at least hit $5000 by year's end.  A stable price might be great if you're using btc as a currency, but I rarely do.  And new investors generally won't be attracted to an asset that isn't doing anything.

Worrying too much wouldn't solve anything. The fact is, if you bought high and "lost money" there's nothing you can do to recoup that unless you stay and wait this out. Brace yourselves, it can get even lower. I just try to tell my self that whales are in hoarding phase and we'd get better news in 2020.

And thats your fault, it's your fault when buying ATH, and now you have to bear it all, after the price skyrocketed there will definitely be bearish in a period that cannot be determined, so if you have already bought, then you must be prepared with all the risks . of course there are things you can do like cutlose, a lot of people do that, to save their assets. some others hold back, maybe it's only for people who are patient

We can't have success without experiencing failures and this long crypto dips will just simply one of it.
If why tried to recall Bitcoin's history since existence, there is a lot of dumps happen but it surprise everyone when it suddenly flown high more that of what the people thinks. It is likely to happen again, we are struggling long dips for more than year but it will be sure that there will be great returns after.

Its nothing really to worry no matter what. If you are just going to consider how much price bitcoin had gone up, you would not have wondered why it was the longest bear market. People are so stock at waiting for the price to go up when its utility did not go even further. So this kind of situation naturally occurs and is expected.

For us who are here longer and still trusted this does not matter to us but for newbie, this is big for them, it will affect negatively.

We are waiting and that's the right thing to do, who would sell at the current price now, selling is not what we should do not, instead we keep buying.
Hopefully this kind of thinking will influence others so they will be started in facing the bear times of our journey.

The situation now is making us stronger, so let's be thankful we see the bad side of the market.

Well me personally, I didn't lose anything. I remember seeing someone mention in a thread that he lost 90% though and I doubt that guy bought during the ath. That's still a HUGE sunk cost. Might as well keep those bitcoins and try not to think about it much.

Even if the market is terrible, traders still have chance to make profit day by day. If that bull comes one day, it will be perfect for us.

[futile-resistance]

Bitcoin has officially entered the longest stretch of declining prices in its 10-year history.

I don’t think you’re right, it is not up to two years that the price has been on low price. But whatever, I think that the next bull market is going to be a huge, and it’s not just going to be a bull run, but a monster. There have been a lot of experts talking about it and I’m looking forward to the end of this year or in 2020.

yeah   it is so pity that new investors that bought last year lost very big money. they are very unlucky. but it is good for the ones that will join nowadays. the prices are mostly at deepest points.

Some of these people are those who bought out of FOMO. Some of them never really expected the pride of Bitcoin to go as high as it did the last time and when it did , they all started rushing in cause they don’t want to miss out on the profit they will make from it, but unfortunately for them, while they believed that the price will continue upwards , it failed them.

We cannot deny that the current crypto market condition is a long decline in all crypto, especially bitcoin. With the current market conditions, we must be smarter in managing the coins that we have in order to be able to benefit.

This because many are earning when ATH was happening. This is why it could possibly could never recover and cryptocurrency will going to end. I am holding personally bitcoin and other altcoins but seeing the market price drop I am now just imagining that I am already losing the money and never get to have a return on it. Sad but I could not do anything but to accept it.

They are really in the wrong timing but somehow, those events might give learning's to them and for everyone.
That's all a part of crypto journey as we are in volatile market. Anyways, we can still have to recover those losses if we continue to work in crypto and start new investment again. Just forget the past and move on, and face for another days of crypto journey.

Don't just stop in being smarter when managing, we should also have other strategies and plans to make money with bitcoin and crypto because this longest bear market has helped us learn more about bitcoin, knowing that everything is possible with it. It is not always good and has a strong growth trend, it still has such stages, and therefore, what we need to prepare is that we should work harder and harder, earn more profits with bitcoin and crypto before the frequency of bear market becomes more and longer.

Yes, good management will keep profits slowly when compared to just panicking because the situation continues to deteriorate. Making good use of moments and self-control is the most important for now if we really do not want to lose, this situation requires us to think again and plan something new so that we can take advantage of what is happening.

[gowobonyok]

yes, even though the value of bitcoin is still relatively high compared to the year when the first time bitcoin was released, but if calculated from the decline in prices to date, bitcoin has experienced a delay long enough to go back up. It's been 1 year since Bitcoin hasn't gone up significantly, at least to return to the same value in 2017 before Bitcoin finally falls.

Indeed bitcoin is experiencing price corrections from very expensive when December 2017 approached USD 20000, continues to decline to USD3500 and lasts long enough that many bitcoin owners are desperate and sold at a loss because they are impatient and affected by negative information about bitcoin.
Bitcoin owner are patient and optimistic  have benefited from a gradual increase to this day of USD 5,200 in my country. Of course this is a good sign because it will activate transactions for bitcoin owners who have slept while waiting for prices to improve.

well, thinking of a bear market only makes us panic, and doesn't focus. managing finances we have today is a very important factor before a bull market occurs. Isn't it good enough to collect assets when it's the longest bear market. besides, I'm sure when a bull market occurs, only a few people save their assets to be used at such times.

[Adriano2010]

I think this month the bear market end, and the grow will continue over next months i think, even if we see some drop we will have again a price grow, so better hold coins and get more for a higher profit.

[okala]

The bitcoin market have suffered it greatest decline in history and at that it recovery in the year 2019/is a remarkable one in 2018 and early 2019 it price have suffered it greatest decline and at that the percent price is a recovery face and the bull is about to start running.

[Sithara007]

I though that the 2013-15 correction lasted for more than 2 years... or perhaps I was wrong. Back then, it started with the Mt Gox robbery. The prices suddenly plummeted to less than $200 per coin, before recovering to around $600 within two months. Anyway... if this is true, then I would say that it is very encouraging news for us. It means that we can expect a spike very soon.
