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

[LodisMcguire]

In difficult periods when the market is falling, it is worth using this opportunity to buy bitcoin at a low price. The fall was predictable, the only question was when it would come. After a bull market, a bear market always comes, this is normal, it has always been like this and so far everything is repeating itself without changes. It's always an opportunity, it's just a matter of whether you take advantage of it or not.

This is the general strategy for any crypto investor,the question is,do you have the capital to incease your investment now?
Don't use your life saving and necessary money to buy crypto,because we don't know what will happen in the future.

Bitcoin uncertainty means nothing to me. I hope many people don't think that bitcoin is an uncertain investment.
I used to think like that, but after I think and use a sincere heart to invest or own bitcoin, I must have a strong belief. Therefore I never fear or doubt about bitcoin even in bearish situations I am not worried, because I believe all traces of bitcoin will repeat itself, and this is where our patience is tested.
so owning bitcoins requires a lot of patience and also a strong belief not to judge them with uncertainty because bitcoin is for them as i mentioned and also for the long term, and now is the right time to buy and grow ownership and Hodl.

But the dilemma when it comes to stablecoins is that the ultimate truth about the assets they are pegged to. We are just relying on the third party audit results about their assets. This is the reason that if there will be a catastrophe that is about to come, we won't know it. Because we don't know the actual truth. Are we confident that these audit companies are indeed 100% trustworthy? Most of the time, it is already too late for the holders to recover their losses. So for me, we should not go all in in crypto, set aside some for tangible assets, whether in real -estate, precious metals or whatever you can afford to. So long it is outside of this market, if that's possible.

I concur to this, to the fact that one cannot be confident enough in these audit companies to be 100% trustworthy but, most have been been on course with preservation of coin values and haven't raised much of a flag for we not to trust them except for the questions on how many of these coins are actually pegged to a real dollar. You never can be so sure and  have to accept the risk factor in using there services still. You can't do business without risk.

Speaking of which, about diversifying from cryptos to some physical entity assets, yeah it might seem the right way and still it rises and falls and supposedly, it was on the down side when  crypto started rising, you still get to lose a little in selling to buy and the idea behind diversifying was to preserve value. In that, you've failed.

I think the right thing here isn't about swapping between investments but, having a portfolio that accommodates several streams and utilises the instruments that exists within the field through the rises and falls of the field. A back and forth swap could result in some loses as well and I think it's actually the more risky.

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?

Hodling our investments would be the best thing to do in times of uncertainties. However, if we are hodling shitcoins, i don't think they are still worth hodling as they won't grow their value anyways but for bitcoin and with the rest of potential and established altcoins, we should hodl them instead of panic selling because once we do that, we are selling them in exchange for a loss as its like we only sell them when their prices are low and dropping.

When I have controversial points, I try to work out my strategy on a demo account. I work with a broker from AMarkets. So far I can say that this option is quite helpful.

Basing up on your post history then you are simply trying to shill out or recommend that AMArkets which i do make out some research that this was a FX broker where reputation isnt really that bad either.

Demo accounts is good for back testing as long you do make out some analysis whether it goes through live or demo then its up to you rather than doing nothing at all.
Uncertainty or doubts could really put you up on a situation where you do really hesitate on taking such action because fear would really be on mind.

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?

Exactly what I am doing now. Doing the old school DCA method with my extra “not beer” money in these uncertain times. I just don’t care where BTC goes right now. Last month I have bought BTC when it was above $30k. Now at $31.5k, I am still gonna buy every month with only an amount that I can afford to lose.

[jaberwock]

Not selling is the best we can do during those times. If you have been into the crypto space for some years now then you should get used to it. Market will always not go up the way we want. Erase all crypto related apps during bear or capitulation season where too much fuds are happening scaring more people to sell their cryptos. You are just giving the whales a to buy at the bottom by selling at loss.

Apart from hodling, buying is more recommended when others are feeling uncertain, that is because people are likely going to sell making the market more dumped but if you are wise and you are well experienced, you will take the opportunity because you know that the market can recover sooner or later. I don't recommend erasing your crypto apps because that's hassle and what if you have lots of them?

You will be needing to install them again one by one and erasing them is also risky because what if you didn't backed up your access to those apps or you simply forget it? If you have a self control, you can always survive the temptation.

Firstly what made you invest in what you invested/Holding? Also what was your agenda/goal/target when you invested in it. I don’t think I can advice you on an investment you made that I am not aware of, so I would tell you nonetheless that you should still to your believe most especially if it’s Bitcoin or any top coins, and if not then the decision is totally yours, I know people who had cut their loss and saw that was the right decision and some discovered the opposite.

For long term investment? Of course what you have done is the best way to earn bitcoins. Doing a DCA, always considering the amount you can afford to lose and waiting for the payoff is something new investors here who don't have much experience are hoping to do. But there are concerns that they may find it difficult to make a decision mainly due to price uncertainty. It is difficult to get confirmation that the bearish have passed and the market is starting to rise, but of course it is best to accumulate bitcoin with the suggested strategy.

[Penelope Wheeler]

Those who dare to hold on indefinitely face little risk and are unlikely to win. Although crypto may not constantly trade at the same price, I believe it has made tremendous growth in the last ten years. With pricing percentages rising by hundreds of percent Crypto is a long-term investment, and if we've made the decision to wait, I'm confident it will not disappoint us.

[lenaza2022]

It is question about what is better small piece of gold in the wallet, a roadside rock with potentially high quantity of gold (another crypto), or small risk investments.  It is about personal feeling because it is a sort of game.

[bitcrystal]

Your actions depends on how much you have seen, read, known about the crypto pattern. To be honest, the second scenario is more better but its technical. For me it's the best bet and one need to pick and choose wisely. I feel we are close to bottom and reversal at this stage except we are going to see the unimaginable.

[Scaterbrainn]

You need to be ready to face any kind of uncertainty in this market. It takes time to understand how to make the right moves.

[Mauser]

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?

It is hard to predict the future during such uncertain times we have right now. Everything seems possible, the Bitcoin price could remain on the 20,000 USD level and only fluctuate around it for the next several month, it could also be that the price finally recovers and we see much higher price during autumn, or the worst case scenario where price would fall even lower. For me all of these possible outcomes are fine and won't change much of my actions. I am not going to sell any coins this year, it doesn't matter how low price would fall I am investing long term. So if prices rise again, I am happy and hold, if prices stay the same I will hold and keep buying more and if prices drop more I will buy more. In the end all of the possible outcomes this year have some positive effects.  We need to stay calm and focus on our goals during uncertain times.

[Nicholas Schaefer]

It is better to HODL at such moments when you are not sure about the market,.rather than selling or buying.

[Docnaster]

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.

[nicolerichardson]

In times of uncertainty, it is better to hold on to your current investments. Changing the course of events will only bring you loss. Just hold on, be patient. Watch the market and spot the right time to make a move. Mistakes are normal, but repetition just increases chances of risk. There is hope.

[Pmalek]

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.     

[darkangel11]

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.

So, I say there's no uncertainty. I'm certain bitcoin will do good in the coming years. If you have confidence in your investments like me, you can ignore the market conditions because you're not a market participant. My coins aren't going to exchanges anytime soon so I choose not to participate and market conditions don't bother me.

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.
