What do you think we should do with our investments in times of uncertainty?

[Oilacris]

The most important thing is to have an investment first, and if you have, in times of uncertainty, your investment is your sage haven. I always tell people that the essence of investments, business, works is to earn a living, live comfortably for the time being that you exist. One cannot be struggling to eat and at the same time want to buy a house. It is fine that during time of uncertainty, you take care of yourself and family with your investment.

It's already given. Can't you see the question? If you don't have an investment well you are exempted to this problem. You won't need to worry in times of crisis and other hardships in life. The uncertainty that the op mean is all about in our investments. You cannot say that your investment will save you if it's also affected. This is exactly what happening now here in cryptos.

People think before that it was a safe haven which can save them but they changed their minds after witnessing that cryptos dumps a lot and stays stagnant for a long time. This is why it's important to not confidently invest all your money onto something even if you think it's safe but you should keep some for yourself, in the banks and also put on other types of assets as well.

Whenever you do have those wrong mindset or beliefs then you would be surely be messing up with your financial plans or situations because you would be minding about assured profits which we know

that it cant really be that possible that it would be always resulting into positive or gains thats why it would really be always ideal if you do have other sources of income aside from crypto investments
which you do able to make yourself make out some adjustments on times like these.

We cant really be having a uprising market like forever because thats now how this market works and you should really bare that in mind.

There simply isn't a right or wrong way to do things when investments start going sideways.

Every person has different financial needs. It's easy to tell people don't sell your coins in a bear market and when the prices are falling, but we don't know what state they are in. We don't know what needs they have and how much they rely on those assets no matter their current value. Having a steady and secure source of income each month can make it easy for you to not be worried about the current market conditions and not look at the price. But what if your financial well-being greatly depends on the money you make from Bitcoin? It doesn't matter how you make that money. When money gets tight, you sell what you can to keep your head about water. Unfortunately, for many that also means selling bitcoin with a huge loss.     

I guess even if we sell our coins at the wrong time, the fact that we used that for our own benefit, that won't be considered a total loss. Yes, we missed a huge profit in the future, but sometimes its not the future that matters, but on how we can survive at the present. Hodling is good as its the best thing to do in times of uncertainty, but selling your bitcoin as well is not wrong either as long as you still intend to buy another bitcoin when your funds are already stable.

agree, it is a fact that happened. Everyone's financial needs are different, they cannot be the same. When a bear market occurs and we need money to use for investment, we inevitably have to sell it to survive.
But the mistake made when investing is using money that will be used for other necessities of life. If we can separate between investment money and money for needs, of course doing a cut loss will not happen. But it all depends on each person, because the risk will only be borne alone. Doing good management will save investment assets in the future.

It doesn't have to be the money you invested in Bitcoin. I wasn't referring to that specifically. Imagine that you work partially for bitcoin or you provide certain services in exchange for bitcoin. Let's say 70% of your monthly income is in fiat, and 30% is Bitcoin. Up until a few months ago, those 70% were enough to cover your needs, but with the rising prices of food, gas, petrol, the inflation, and everything else that has been going on, suddenly that's not enough. Even though Bitcoin is performing badly right now, you might have to dig into those reserves despite selling for a loss.

This called with how effective with money controlling when investing with cryptocurrency, we have different financial cases and some investor not really care when bear market happening because they still have income from other way. But we don't have other income need to control and manage great financial before investing with bitcoin or choose altcoin as investment assets. Example need to spent 40% from all our assets in fiat and use it for saving fund when some time bitcoin drop, we still have money for daily needed actually when you have family and children, every day you spent money but when market bear and not have saving fund will be panic what have to do.

[BobK71]

In my opinion, when investment is uncertain, what we have to do is to keep ourselves calm, don't panic quickly because when we panic, we are rash in making decisions, in the end we will suffer losses.

We know that cryptocurrency is the highest risk and uncertain investment platform. There are two seasons in crypto currency investment platform one is bull market and the other is bear market. Currently we are located in bearmarket and it's hard to say where this bearmarket will stabilize. Therefore, if investing in this uncertainty, the investor should understand the investment, different experts have suggested different ways to invest, especially at this time many are saying that 5-10% of total investment portfolio should be worthy. But it mainly depends on how much you can afford to lose. If the market is positive from here then those who will take the risk have the possibility of getting good amount.

Seeing such a bad market situation always makes me sad, but it never makes me panic sell. I'd rather take a loan and use it to cover my expenses than give my coins away for cheap.

You started at 2014 and now a legendary. With that long years of stay, you seem to be not used of the market but anyway it is not wrong to be emotional sometimes because at the end of the day, we are still a human, not robots which don't have an emotion.

Just don't over do it tho because it seems not right when someone sees you like that especially to the newbies. Taking a loan can give us a headache and why take a loan when you still have a money to be pulled out? Our coins must be used sometimes and not just for display purposes only. I think that answer of mine suits best on the op's question as people invest in crypto so that they can get something in times of uncertainty.

We are just humans where emotions could really be that common and even how experienced we are we do still ending up on making bad decisions due to emotion which is something inevitable sometimes.

We do make out decisions which we do see that it would really be good for us and basing up on what he had mentioned on taking a loan rather than on panic sell then i would do the same thing
as long that investment is involved then it would be a good call rather than doing decisions which you cant really turn it back once losses had been realized.

Times of uncertainty do commonly happens on a market decline which cant really be avoided even if you are fully aware.

Emotions don't equal panic. I have emotions, I'm not a robot, but I never panic, be it a car accident or a market crash. I get scared, sure, but I'm somehow able to keep it steady and think before I act.
We are all different, I 'm not telling you what you should do, but what I'd do in this situation.

What's there to overdo? Overhold bitcoin? I'll be honest here, I'll probably do it. I believe in bitcoin so much that if it came crashing down to 1k USD right now I wouldn't sell, I'd buy more. Time will tell if it's the right decision, but that's my way to go, you don't have to follow me.

If I run out of cash I'll try to get another job to cover my expenses and if that's not enough I'll take a loan. Why? Because I feel like sub 20k is a level that I'll never sell my bitcoins. That price doesn't satisfy me and it doesn't matter that I could get money this way. There are other ways to make them too.

[coinerer]

If it's Bitcoin just HODL. It would be a stupid thing to sell in a bear market. BTC will still reach 100K one day if Putin won't drop the rocket and/or we won't have another COVID, there is always hope in this world.

As soon as the big powers calm down and the wars stop, crypto will start roaring. In this case, it will surpass any previous high value. It is believed that the upcoming bull run may add new dimensions to cryptocurrencies. It can break all records so far and set a new all-time high. In this case it can exceed $100000 dollars.

[Davidvictorson]

In my opinion, holding onto money during uncertain times is a losing tactic. Holding cash "guarantees losing purchasing power," says Buffet. You do not want to be hoarding cash in the current situation, when central banks are continuously printing money. I believe that certain assets that everyone should hold in their portfolio are bitcoin, gold, and real estate. I firmly believe that it serves as insurance, if nothing else. You can never make a mistake with this investment. They protect investors from the market and are effective insurance policies.

Indeed, the current market movements are very difficult to predict, in my opinion, this is because the world's economic conditions are unstable and in addition to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and Covid 19, it has not been resolved because it is still on this earth. That's why the current market conditions are difficult to predict. but in my opinion, if we invest before there is a profit, we should not sell it, just hold on. because later the price will come back. that's why I think it's safer to invest in bitcoin. because bitcoin is a good future asset, maybe at this time the price of bitcoin is going down, but in my opinion if the world economy has recovered and is up, I think the price of bitcoin will be high again.

The economy could be looking bleak and terrible right now but that doesn't change the fact that when it is low is the best time to invest.

The prices of all this current situation would be a bit of a terrible situation no matter what, pandemic caused a lot of financial trouble with inflation and printing of money, so money is less valuable right now and that less valuable money also resulted with bitcoin going down, so you should be earning more, and could buy more bitcoins and wait for it to go even higher. That way we could end up with a little bit of a profit and I understand that it would be easier to wait instead of just worry about what is going to happen. This is the better path for sure.
