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

[TheGhostMan]

While it is true that no one is a fortune teller, the investor has no choice but to invest with an expectation. From analyzes and appraisals, assumptions arise. And, then, from the assumptions, the purchases or the sales arise. The optimist thinks that the price of his favorite asset will rise in the future. And the pessimist thinks exactly the opposite. The strategist instead prepares for both scenarios. What if the price goes down? What happens if the price goes up? What you want is to grow financially with the greatest possible stability.

In my opinion when we talk about cryptocurrencies it is not known what can happen, it is really uncertain that prices fluctuate day by day, since in addition to being very high one day it can be very low, it should be noted that there may be crypto assets that people tend to follow , which have a lot of movement in the market (this almost always remains at a resistance) but in the same way these markets remain in a very inconstant ups and downs.

From my point of view there are two types of investors, the first is here that when they realize that the cryptocurrency is in a bearish state, they feel fear and prefer to sell their investment completely, this either generates little profit than expected or at worst the cases lose what was invested, and the second is the visionary who, when the cryptocurrency is in a bearish state, buys and waits for a bullish state to sell at a high price and obtain very good profits…. In my case it would be the second since I consider myself a winner and as they say "he who does not risk does not win".

A few days ago I talked about this a bit but I didn't go into depth as such and I wanted to see what you guys thought. What would you do in uncertain times?

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.

I was about to say when I read the title of this: find something else to do or find something new in crypto to research. If you came for the technology or invested because you were interested in it, you can probably reignite that quite easily.

There are a few different types of investors too: ones that want stability and ones that want growth. If you're after stability, you're probably better off waiting to exit at break even or a bit of profit and then leaving. If you're after growth or you're interested in the technology you should already have some resilience and expectation you might be down at the start of your investment (eg exchange fees).

Position yourself in a way that you can take advantage of how the markets end up moving — regardless if it's up or down.

For some reason some people think that they should always go all in on one position — like all in on bitcoin/stocks, or all in on cash. You can always do 50-50!

Check the brand you favorite. Invest in that.

Kellogs? If you don't use mac donalds then don't boost it.

[DaveF]

Keep buying BTC.
If you think it's going to be a bull run and go up get in now.
If you think it's going to be a bear market and go down, well buy some now and buy some later and you can cost average down if needed and if you are wrong and it goes up you are ahead.

Buy cheap sell high.

What's the issue?

-Dave

[uchegod-21]

Are there other new rules?

I believe there are no other new rules apart from;

Buy low sell high.

If there is another rule, it is "Invest what you can afford to lose"

If you buy low and it is going lower, don't panic, relax and it will revert.
But if you buy high and it is going lower low, please panic.

[fiulpro]

Well an investment is an investment you do have two choices here considering you are able to take the loss of the amount then you usually try and keep your crypto on , which means that you can make much more profits in the future as well, but if you cannot afford to loose then you usually try and sell it does not matter what the price. The market is preety volatile at the moment, the price is crashing and pumping up and down in a matter of seconds, people think that it's honestly due to fed interest changes but I don't think so since it can be attributed to other factors might as easily. If you are investing in Bitcoins or getting paid in Bitcoins you always need to make sure to keep checking the exchange rate, it's quite important.

[mk4]

Check the brand you favorite. Invest in that.

Actually liking the brand/service is definitely one factor that I'd consider when investing in (and/or just looking up) stocks, but honestly this is really oversimplifying it and can end up catastrophically if you make investment decisions willy-nilly.

[qwertyup23]

In times of uncertainty, what you need is to have a clear goal on your investments. Even if it is difficult to actually predict the market, your goal should be clear enough to at least provide you some support on what road you are planning on the future.

It is recommend that you diversify your investments and assign each whether you should be focusing more on short or long-term investments. Cryptocurrencies, in general, are volatile in nature- that is why you should clearly categorize which investment you should withdraw.

It depends on the coin you invested on, if it is a new project then I wouldn't mind selling it all to avoid loses, even it doesn't give profits. Furthermore if you buy more at times of uncertainty, then you must be sure that the coin you are following can recover itself in due time. Bitcoin is an example, as we knew that it has gone to almost 3k USD after hitting ATH, but then look at it now, it is still on top traded and held by most people who are here in the crypto industry.

Leaving everything on for a while is a good thing for me because otherwise, I'll be thinking about it all day, and it can be stressful. I prefer to do something else instead of monitoring the market around the clock. I never forget to set the alarm on my cell phone if the price starts to move up so I can get back to the market as soon as possible or just watch the market conditions.

If it is investing in crypto, we use a certain period to hold the coins and only sell them if the price can go up very high in the future. But indeed, most investors can turn into a panic if they see the price drop drastically. So it's better to regulate your emotions and leave the market for a while.

There have been some studies in the past that show that in times of uncertainty the need for information goes up dramatically, this in return raises your stress levels and it could lead you to make some mistakes.

Since the markets are not something that we can control and they are going to move independently of what we want then in times of uncertainty it is better to take some time off and do something else with your time and try to avoid thinking too much about the markets, then after you have calmed down a little bit and you kept your distance from this market then you can begin to monitor it again.

In times of panic you hold what you have & buy more. That’s what the smart money does, that’s what winners do.
You do the opposite to what the majority does, that’s how you make money.

[Jody.Drummer]

What I do in times of uncertainty don't really care. We are in Bitcoin and have experienced conditions that are said to be uncertain thousands of times. But the fact is it is only time or conditions where we are tested by crypto prices in the market. We are taught not only when the market is bullish, but when the market is bearish there are opinions saying that investing or trading in crypto does not guarantee profits. we already know that from the start of investing or trading there will be 2 pleasant and painful moments.

It's just a glimpse, if we believe in the long term why should we worry about the short-term momentum?
 
Excessive worry is always felt by short-term traders. While long term holders are used as momentum to take more Bitcoins and go back to sleep.

[franky1]

no matter if bitcoin is $370, or $3.7k or $37k
at each era there is always a known 'value window' the price is sitting in at that time..

work out that value window of the time you are deciding what to do.
EG right now the value window is roughly $30k-$70k

meaning bitcoin right now to some might seem like 'bear' or 'doom' but to others seem like cheap/discount/good value

if you are in the fear state. dont sell all your investment. instead calculate how much money you actually NEED out. but leave some in to take advantage of future bull market returns

i personally would look at the window of $30k-$70k
and segment that value window into 4 quarters
and if the prices were in the top quarter ($60k-$70k) then id be more happy to exit 100%..
next quarter of window down($50k-$60k) 75% exit
next quarter of window down($40k-$50k) 50% exit
next quarter of window down($30k-$40k) 25% exit

if in the hype hapy state wanting to invest. the opoosite is true
deciding how much of your fiat to invest

and if the prices were
in the top quarter ($60k-$70k) then enter upto 25%(or very little)
next quarter of window down($50k-$60k) enter upto 50%
next quarter of window down($40k-$50k) enter upto 75%
next quarter of window down($30k-$40k) enter upto 100%

"Nothing ventured nothing gained."
That is a well-known phrase, it is also one of the situations that is most put into practice.
In this bearish time I would buy more bitcoin because I am one of the investors who see bitcoin as a long-term investment as a reserve or as a treasure.
I would also invest in an altcoin that can give me short-term profits to continue buying bitcoin.
The world crisis that is affecting the markets makes us look at bitcoin as a hope to overcome the imbalance that we may suffer as a result of it.

[boyptc]

What would you do in uncertain times?

Do not panic.

When bitcoin drops 5% to 10%, this is the uncertainty becomes the thought of everyone specially the newbies. They think that it's the end and bitcoin won't recover anymore but they're all wrong.

Based on the experiences that me and the others have, it will gradually recover and go up again. So if you're uncertain on these times and you see the bloody market, you either buy while it's there or just do nothing which is better.

But if you're firmed in selling at losses, that's your decision.

In crypto, when the market becomes bearish, you should take advantage buy buying  those cheap coins with great potentials, and hold until you see their prices recovering. For bullish season, take the chance of selling what you have bought last season, as this bring huge profits if you start selling them more than the amount they were purchased. However, if you aim for profits regardless of the market's condition, then you should learn to take advantage both sides, because the truth is both bullish and bearish state of the market brings different opportunities to be profitable.

Volatility is one of the characteristics of cryptocurrency (except the stablecoins).
But, why people are still investing in cryptocurrency although they are so volatile and uncertain?
For me, the reason is:
- Depend on what cryptocurrencies we are investing in. If that is Bitcoin, we are sure that even if the price drops, it can rise up again moreover if we are holding for the long term.
- If they are top altcoins with strong and interesting fundamentals, we also believe that they may have bigger chances to survive and rise up again in the future in certain period.
- It is about the trust on some cryptocurrency
- We can utilize the volatility to earn some profits, volatility may be bad for us, but sometimes, it will also work well so much on us.
- That's the beauty also of the diversity
