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

[romero121]

It is true that crypto market is completely uncertain. We all move over the trust, that the market will progress with time. Being volatile is the characteristics of bitcoin. People also love the volatility, because without this there is no earning access. When we think about the risks, there is risk with every form of investment. With cryptocurrency this is found little above other form of investment. For the risk, there is profiting access.

Fear should not accompany cryptocurrency investors, because if they fear automatically the decision goes wrong. I would suggest the long term users just leave the holding unlike the market variations. For short term holders and users who make unexpected selling it is good to hold partial investment in terms of stablecoins and partial in the form of bitcoin. This will help to maintain the portfolio without much disturbance caused due to the market crash.

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.

Bitcoin reaching hundred thousand is good but can investors be patient until the time reach. Is not all investors that have the mind of leaving their bitcoin to stay to the bull market that will give bitcoin price another shape. People do sell their bitcoin when they have both minor problem and larger problem and they will not look after if the price is in bear market or in bull market and what they are interested is to Fitch the money and solve the problem at hand. People does not sell bitcoin un the time if bearish because they are afraid of invaluable regulations of Bitcoin price

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.

It's time to buy more at the dip, many already waited too long to finally be able to buy some bitcoin again at a lower price, it's an opportunity to take if we only plan to hold our bitcoin. Worry will depend on what plans we have in our investment but we know how volatile the market is, so we should learn how to adapt and react based on possible benefits we can take from certain situations. We already see the market in bear even before so for now many already learned and can apply today their past realization. So for newbies, worrying is part of it, and getting used to markets with too much volatility should be known, soon it will be an experience that can help in making crypto decisions.

Easy to say but when you are on that certain condition or situation then its something that cant really be done so easily because you would really be hesitating on proceeding on which you are in fear that the price might

plummet even more which is really a very common reaction or behavior thats why lots of times we do really miss out opportunities on making profits due into this one.Basing up on real experience

and ideas then its not really bad to make out such action or consideration on these kind of particular times.

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".

Your example of two types of investor is limited and not applicable in the broad idea. What you rightly described above is an early investor and a late investor. Anyone that bought bitcoin at $62k would have panic and some sold off. But this cannot be said about people that bought at $26k. When you talk a wrong and false position, you cannot be comfortable with the market, that's it.
The only way out is that, if you are holding a shit coin, you can sell off because it might not revert again. But if you have bitcoin and still has spare cash to maintain yourself, hodl your btc.

If you are a good investor, you should be prepared for times of uncertainty, and don't act as if they will never happen and catch you by surprise. The latter is more typical of retail investors who invest following the advice of their friend/the banker/the trendy youtuber, etc.

Good investors know that bad times will come, and are prepared for it, managing liquidity well to buy cheap.

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.

Indeed, the need for information will increase and at that time, false information will also circulate which can lead us to get wrong information about the state of the market and we can make wrong decisions. That's why it's better if we can be patient for a while and maybe taking some time off as you say would be better for us. With that leave, we can refresh our minds and enjoy more time for us to use for other things.

It is very useful for all of us because I have done it many times, especially when the market is volatile or uncertain. At least, I can come back well and can analyze with ease and not rush.

It is better not to deal with dubious alts at all, this is always a very big risk. If the bear market has started now and it lasts for several years, then many shitcoins may not survive, that is, bottom out and stay there. Bitcoin is a reliable investment, no matter how much its price falls, it always returns its positions and reaches new ATH. Those who bought bitcoin at 60k and more may be worried now, but what's the point of selling now when the price has fallen so much? The best option now would be only hold.

The best thing to do is to hold onto your investments in times of uncertainty. You never know what may happen. It’s best to be prepared to face any situation and convert it into a potential opportunity to receive returns.

What would you do in uncertain times?

What is happening in recent days with the main asset of cryptocurrencies is not something new, since it was created it has had certain falls that have caused uncertainty and fear in investors, especially those new to this area, leading them to take certain decisions that in one way or another affect them. However, it is estimated that this year bitcoin is having the worst relapse in history which happened from one moment to another to have losses of 15% to 19%, it is for this reason that I am not surprised by the tension that is currently being experienced , but as always nothing is written, anything can happen, so you should think intelligently, because if you decide to sell everything just for the terror of having losses with this currency you could regret it later. Personally, and knowing its great volatility I would risk investing a certain part.

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

it's true as you said, buying cheap selling high will definitely be a very extraordinary profit, when there is an opportunity then take advantage of every opportunity that comes into a big opportunity in the future, when uncertainty is sure most people will back down, so I will take the opportunity when people retreat, and I try to enter, indeed the risk is right in front of my eyes, but the risk I take will be a sweet dream in the future.

[amishmanish]

I feel very bad for Ukrainians and I feel they must have pondered on this point in last 2 months on this. I would like to hear prospective of any Ukrainian here how they managed their investments in these times of war.

Also if bitcoin really helped them in any way during the war. Personally I believe invest in technology, no matter in what form.
Its technology which is going to reward for sure. Invest in future tech like AI, Smart car companies,  Vaccine research firms and yes fir sure crypto

A good crypto investor isn't the one who worries about his holdings at times of uncertainty. A good crypto investor prepares for such times when the market is flourishing. Start preparing for the worst when everyone is ecstatic like they were at the dawn of 2021. Always think, analyze, predict, and act, or exercise patience, when needed. And then there won't be any "times of uncertainty."

And what are the steps for the "good crypto investor" must take? As a preparation for the correction?
If for example you're a long term hodler, what specific action would they make as a preparation for the bearish season?
Coz I believe the only preparation you will make when you're a long term hodler is your patience and knowledge. Once you sell on the dip, you'll probably going to lose big time eventually.

Patience is easier to say btw, but when your portfolio is down like 80%, it will actually cause you a worry lol.

[Imran232]

Honestly speaking, I am not going to speak from others' points of view because I don't have any idea about others' opinions regarding this. But if I say about my point of view, then this is simple. I believe in the crypto space that if my choice is a good company, then I don't need to worry about ups and downs. I will just hold it for life time and when I need it, I will just cash out my profit. Because I believe the best things might take time but will definitely give results. And good company means real coins like bitcoin, ethereum, ltc, bnb, sol, luna, just buy and hold. That's my opinion and I hold others' opinions might be different. Thank you.

Your response is meaningful from my perspective.. it's nice to think before responding to comment, actually when you experience a loophole via investment, what you to do is to observe the length and time frame you may think the uncertainty time will consume,and you make your decision.. holding until it normalize is at safer side.. because irrespective the challenges provided you are still holding you most regain.

[bitcrystal]

its all about doing whats best for you because in uncertainty times no one knows what will happen next, anyone who seems to know is just being hopeful maybe base on previous history. if you are buying during uncertain its a huge risk because things can go worse and at some point you might run out funds to buy especially if you dont plan well to DCA. personally if its about bitcoin then i can hodl and buy more at different levels and wait patiently for profits when it moons.

Yes, good investors don't panic whenever the price of bitcoin is decreasing in the market than to understand, that it will not last forever. Now that the price has decreased to $30k for those that missed the opportunity to buy more of bitcoin to use this period to buy and hold to wait for the price to move higher to make a good profit at the end of the market.  I think patience is the major instrument professional traders used to make a suitable profit from their trading.

[Alisha FR]

those who dare to hold on indefinitely certainly have no risk and do not win. crypto is not always at the same price, if talking up or down, I would say that crypto over the last ten years has made enormous progress. with the percentage of prices up hundreds of percent. crypto is a long term investment, if we have taken a long term decision, I am sure it will not disappoint our patience in waiting.

Bitcoin and crypto investment is not a daily business. Every investment be it in a centralized or decentralized setting requires this high level of patience to Hodl no matter how bad the investment turns out to be mostly for reliable projects. I my few years hoarding is just the trick behind bitcoin investment. Getting multiple streams of income in a way can help distract your attention from constantly paying close watch at your coin. Allow the market do it's thing is a best investment plan

This is true, if you will have no other sources of income and you are only relying like for example in crypto, you will for sure have a headache when you see the market is in red position. So for me, you need to look outside the crypto market also, maybe start investing on tangible assets like precious metals or real-estate that you think will assist you when for example you totally lost your crypto investments, because we have no idea what will happen next in this market. Don't rely your income from only one, you can always look for other jobs that you think can be your added sources of income. Being prepared is always welcome as you won't regret when an unexpected circumstances happen.
