What you should do in this type of market

[Fivestar4everMVP]

I agree with op, there are currently alot of altcoins in the market right now that will never see their all time high again, it is a crucial time and investors are adviced to be very selective of which project to invest in, it is true that most project are down right now and now is the best time to get in, but do not invest in a project because it's prove is cheap now compared to what it used to be, do a proper research and be sure of what's in the road map that will guarantee a price increase in the future, like i said before, many projects will never see their all time high again.
Am currently holding an altcoin that it's market cap has dropped from $188m to $2m, but after doing some research, I decided to still hold and even buy more due to what is currently being developed, it's time to research properly before investing.

Yeah, it's going to be survival of the fittest now for the majority of the altcoins in the market. Some of them might live, but majority I think will die in this bear market. Not only that, there could be exchanges that are going to closed in this bearish trend just like in 2018. So it's going to be very tough for everyone, but for those who have seen this in 2018-2020 sure knows what's coming and how to adjust in this cycle.

Exchanges dont just close in the bear market if there is no hack,I feel most of the hacks either in bear and bull market are more of inside jobs. I also think decentralized exchanges will survive any bear market, more so DEXs rarely get hacked. The best advice is to reallocate in stable coin and get a job to save fund. Some feel the bear market will not be like previous market although nobody know how it will differ.

It was found to be at risk of putting our money in a single investment (Bitcoin) but I think it was riskier if we spread it like investing in non-potential altcoins. Bitcoin has been known for its potential and choosing this coin for long-term investment serves as an assurance that once the market bounces back high, Bitcoin will soar again.

Of course, some altcoins still have that kind of market characteristic but then, we have to choose wisely and consider some of these things;
 * transparency
 * previous market performance
 * well-established and has a working product

Or just go with Bitcoin if people wanted to play it safe. The risk of also starting a new project this bearish market is quite.....moderate, considering that people would expect a lot of coins/tokens/shitcoins to be at its cheapest ones and of course scammers would take advantage of this bearish trend to run away with a lot of money causing investors to either just stop buying during these times or risk it.

Begin learning and researching on which projects will survive this bear market. It is very clear that a bullish argument for good projects with good development teams have been made stronger today. After more dumps on the market are made, the investors will move more to seek value projects for holding than seek projects for short term and midterm trading and speculation.

Much of the projects in the market will never pump and never reach all time high again. However, there might be 5% of altcoin projects that are presently being prepared to create their all time highs when the market recovers. This is a market for investing in good development teams. The time of marketers and shills are over.

I think now is the right time to buy altcoins that have strong fundamentals and are able to survive the current market conditions, and now that many altcoins are down so we should take advantage of this situation to buy some altcoins as a long term investment because I believe in a few months in the future market conditions will recover and altcoin prices will find ath highs again.

[Rengga Jati]

Commonly, new projects that are released before this market crash or even during the market crash will be hard enough to pump up again moreover in the next bullish era, many new projects will end as shit projects and never pump. This is the most fact that we commonly find so far for most new projects.
But, let's see if there is something different and there are some new projects that are exactly promising and legit with strong and great fundamentals, done by the great teams.

However, there might be 5% of altcoin projects that are presently being prepared to create their all time highs when the market recovers. This is a market for investing in good development teams. The time of marketers and shills are over.

Even if there is a small chance, I personally will prefer to avoid this kind of project because it's like gambling, not sure which one will survive and pump.

Unless you think, this is not dip point don't buy at this market price since there is a room for a further drop on prices. The recovery will be slow but steady for many altcoins that have fallen down from the ATH price, the bull market cycle will happen right after the end of the bear market cycle. Since we don't know when the bear cycle ends, it is too early to invest. My suggestion is making investment in small steps and get a better average $ cost.

Not sure when is the recovery though, so it won't be steady in my opinion. On the contrary, if bitcoin is to suffer for sure majority of the altcoins too and who knows some of them might not exist in the next bull run. So I will still be very cautious on what altcoins I'm going to invest. And consider to invest what you can afford to lose and then be patience because the recovery might take years.

No one is sure about the next recovery, and only those who are risk takers can have a good win. If you are still afraid, better to just invest on the top altcoins so by this you can have a small assurance that those altcoins will rise again. The best thing to do during this time is to wait patiently, wait for the best price to buy and while waiting, learn how this market works so in the next pump, you know what to do already.

Bitcoin is the right choice for the current bear market conditions because bitcoin will provide great returns in the bull market later. For an altcoin project, I guess it won't be easy to find it because there are so many altcoin projects each of which could rise after a bear market. But maybe the top 25 altcoins can be an option to invest in because the price can go up again following the development of bitcoin prices which will rise later. But researching altcoin projects is a must to find what we want and so that we don't go wrong in choosing the coin.

But what is clear, in the current bear market conditions, doing research or just looking at the price movements of each coin can also be an option, especially if we are confused about which coin to choose. But bitcoin is a good choice for now.

Should choose Bitcoin or we can add Ethereum to the portfolio. During the bear market, all altcoins have dropped a lot in price and can be seen as a cheap buying opportunity but there is no guarantee that they will rise again after the bear market is over. There are only a few that do that and choosing those altcoins at the moment is really hard.

Looking at 2018, we can see that only bitcoin and eth are still holding their ground, most altcoins have been overtaken or replaced by better new ones.

Maybe the two coins, bitcoin and ethereum can be our choice in investing in crypto and don't have to try to invest in other coins to minimize the risk we can face. All of the current altcoins continue to follow the movement of bitcoin and only a few can increase when the bitcoin price increases.

That's why if we only have bitcoin and ethereum, we can more easily observe price movements and we have more time to learn to analyze. For now, we can only be patient and wait.

If we look in broader terms outside crypto, the sentiment of economic downturn and recession are arising lately. Which I believe it will also do affect cryptocurrencies. Selectively choosing which project will stand its time is surely essential, but for those new projects who are newly arising, I doubt good even good development is enough for it in this kind of market. I mean, developing a project must be done thoroughly but if many investors are having a hard time putting money into the project, the project may have a slowdown in the development.

In addition to potential Coins it is very rare that there are projects that can provide a suitable return, the Altcoin market is also in an abnormal condition, this shows a cycle of change in an indefinite period of time, no project can generate profits in the current market conditions, even in class the same one. Bitcoin also has not shown any change for price recovery for now, so it is very difficult to identify a good project in this condition, if this cycle does not return to normal then it is difficult to enter the market to trade

[junmisakiro]

there is not much that can be done in a bear market like today, and not many Altcoins are able to survive / rise faster. The choice of ALtcoin is indeed difficult to determine at a time like this even though there are some who will return to the top and recover faster, but to minimize the risk I think waiting by holding Stablecoins is the right choice or choosing to bet on the top coins with strong fundamentals.

in this case everyone who is in the crypto world will definitely understand when to buy and hold their altcoins, judging by the current market it is difficult to choose which altcoin will give the best value, it takes in-depth research to make a choice but if you don't want to lose a lot we can stick to BTC for investment

[cryptoaddictchie]

Its hard to predict what would happened in the next cycle but were definitely sure that it will go back again to its ATH but we dont know when. Its always the same market got hyped and got downfall too. So were in that scenario now, so doing a dca is the best option we could do to avoid being burnt on dip and average our buys. Who knows at current level is the time we could see another ATH again above 64k.

If you are confused by so many investment options, then choosing BTC again for investment is a very feasible and not wrong thing because BTC always gives surprises and unexpected pumps in the market. And BTC is also still an important reference in looking at current market conditions.

But for those who don't have the courage to take the risk, this will be a difficult decision. Honestly, I am part of those who don't want high-risk investing with new projects that will enter the market during the dump. I guess it's because of bad experiences during the ICO hype.
I'd rather stay with the old ones who have a history of being pumped when this market goes back to normal. But, it's a matter of patience while resisting selling in short-span pumps and panic of short dumps.

Projects that have a good foundation will be able to regain their positions, and this will give us a good opportunity to earn. But I think that there will also be quite a few projects, that will have a very hard time in this cycle of decline and will remain with a low price, so it is important to be very careful when choosing a project. A bear market is always a good opportunity to buy coins at a low price, the most important thing is not to buy too early.

This is perfect timing to buy and I agree that those who goes down will eventually rise again especially if they are a good project. Buying them can be your good investment, averaging is a good strategy as well. If you feel like learning new things while waiting for the bottom then do it, that can help you a lot. This market is not over yet, we will see its uptrend again, vert soon.

Fall of the market is the good time to buy the tokens of new and prospective products for the best price. But not all the projects will be able to survive during the fall of the market.
A lot depends how useful is a project and what tools it offers like that https://twitter.com/gofundmeinu/status/1527889421516668929

During the fall of the market it is possible to buy tokens for the best price. But not all the tokens will be able to survive during the fall of the market.
That is why it is necessary to check everything before investing not to lose money because cryptocurrency market is very risky.

Of course it isnt. But the question is when would it come back. It could take again years or maybe few months, as people come and go. Sadly some of those who earned big might not be trying to go back since they already got what they want. But lets just hope that many will likely to go back and attract new investors since the crypto space has a lot of potential. What I dont like here are those scumbags who keep printing money out of scam which degrade the potential of crypto itno good things.
