Bear Market Can Be A Waste Of Time or Useful Depending on How We Approach It

[FlamingFingers]

I don't think that we are totally in a bear market, there are still coins that are doing x5 - x10, I could remember vividly the last bear season, there is no such coin that can do x10 or more, the panic was huge then as compared to now, CT influencers still calling 9k BTC even when it's trying to hold this range. Lol. Just get the good coin to hold and in few months time profit is kinda certain

[Jackl87]

During a bear market, almost every new project is going to fail immediately.

Besides the new cryptocurrencies, from my perspective, I'd look more at cryptocurrencies that hold utility, keep developing and have a serious community.

My general take on investing in bear or bull markets within the whole crypto space is, that during a bull market you can achieve the highest potential profit when you invest into new and upcoming projects that have a strong team, a real use case, a roadmap that makes sense and of course also fair tokenomics. Of course even if a new projects is fulfilling all of those requirements then there is still a chance that it will fail and that the money you invested is lost, but that is just the nature of the game in the crypto space.
During a bear market though we have the chance to invest into projects that are already big and established for a discounted price. For my personal taste those price ranges have not been reached yet but if we are in for another few months of bear market i might invest into projects like ETH or BNB.

During a bear market, almost every new project is going to fail immediately.
The funds required for the startup to begin will not be there, investors will not fill the presales, and scams will rule.
What could have a small chance to succeed, now has zero.
It takes backing from big exchanges and connections with investors for a project to succeed.

Having said that, I never stopped looking and will keep investing during the bear market appropriately.

But for anyone that considers leaving, know that this market will reward those that stayed. It is the time to educate yourselves.
I've seen even silly spammers changing their ways and realizing there is a lot more everyone can offer by changing their ways.
For now, it is the time we count losses, but also we strengthen and rise to the challenges we face.

Bear market brings a lot of great opportunities but not everyone sees its worth, as most of the newbies prefer bear market as something that create panic selling and losses on their investments. However, i believe that both bear and bull market will be susceptible to losses if you manage your investments the wrong way, but if you know how to take advantage and ride with the current bear or bull market, you will always be a gainer, than a loser because you see it the wrong way.

Bear times are really a hard time for all the coins including bitcoin but bitcoin and few established coin will later increase leaving the new projects down. For now as we see the market is in red and every coin is in red, it is a survival for the project soon when bull will come. Investment in projects that has utility purposes is better because they will always be needed and they have to increase again after falling.

Bear times is a battle of those new and old coins who will tend to survive when the market starts to recover. But mostly, those old and established coins will have higher chances of survival because of their utility cases and that they become valuable in the crypto community. However, with new coins arising in the market today, its hard to trust them as majority of them have no originality and would end up as scams.

[Sanitough]

Although, ideally in a bear market, you should keep funds in a project that has already proved to stand its time and has been battle-tested. I won't be taking much a greater risk if the whole market sentiment is bad.

It would be foolish at this point to pour money into new projects. During a bear market, established projects also struggle to survive and overcome, let alone new project released during bear season. I think at this point we should not spend too much time learning about new projects, focus on projects that have a long history of achievements and reputation in the market to avoid risks and multiply opportunities double your future wealth. When the bull market comes we will have a lot of new projects created and we will have no shortage of opportunities to invest, so just try not to lose money in the bear market and get through it.

What is more important in a bear market is that you should always have good bases which coins you are going to invest your money, otherwise your money will only go into waste. The reason why wise investors do not trust new projects anymore as they mostly won't survive in this bear market but only those coins who have real utility cases and those who have been making successful achievements in the past will mostly survive. This bear market should never be a threat if only majority of us will only learn how and where to invest during this difficult times.

Lack of funding shouldn't be the reason why some brand new project fails in an immediate manner.

It is actually one of the major reasons why a project fails.  Imagine, you have great developers but you don't have the funds to keep them working for the project.  It is like a sports car without fuel.  I don't know why you don't consider funds as one of the essentials in a project building.  This is also the reason why projects create an initial offering so that they can initiate the activities of a project.

If the project or the founders believe and built their ideas/concepts thoroughly, they won't stop only because of that.

Remember Cars are made to move but they can't move if they run out of fuel.  The same goes for projects.  Funds are the fuel that keeps it running.

I don't think so.

In a scenario, where new ideas/concepts are being built, funding surely helps, it is rather a spectacle thing to have for the founders. Nevertheless, the fact that if they don't have early attention, from whomever including investor money, and then it immediately fails, meaning the team and/or the founder itself gives up. Well, I presume there is a lack of temptation from them which may conclude the whole project itself is doubtful.

Besides, a truly innovative project will earn its own merits. If the project truly solves the masses' problems and offers something that is worth keeping an eye on, the project itself will sustain with the community.

How can it deliver the road map if it does not have funds for materials, expenses, salaries, and bills?  Merit can't buy you a drink, money does.  And the project won't have merit if they fail to deliver their roadmap.

When in the first place the idea and/or concept itself is truly profound, I'm sure they will keep up.

Look, I don't discredit money/funding isn't a nice thing to have. I rather point out that if in a short span of time the project couldn't continue only because of lack of funding, it could mean that there is no point to keep an eye on it in the first place or it might the time isn't just right.

This is mostly what's happening in the past and there's no difference whether it's new or old projects since once the bear market started. Most of the investors won't hold that much when it comes to altcoins because some of them will just dump all of it it may be panic selling or taking profit. However, we have to always do and he responsible to do some research if we want to make sure our investment won't just go away for nothing.

Most people want to enjoy the bear market by relaxing and vacationing but that will only be a regret in the future. Because this is the best chance to get coins at a low price and hold them for the long term. Unfortunately, some people think that this negative market actually has to be patient and wait for the positive market to return without making the most of this opportunity.

Many people choose to relax and rest in a bear market because they could have made a big profit in the last bull market and now is the time for them to rest and enjoy. The bear market is not going to end anytime soon and i think they will have their own plans.

that's right, can't do much in a bearish market, after all it's just market correction one after another, so there's just no point in trading in the middle of the bearish market, instead someone could just make entry at great position with heavily discounted altcoin value and then leave it, maybe by vacationing and the likes, and afterwards come back if the market is getting any better and then get all the great return of the investment.
thats like the best decision you could ever make right now.

[Silberman]

Yes, it depends on how we look at the market. If we are afraid of the bear market we can not make good money. The bear market is the best time or opportunity to make some good money in the long term. In the bear market generally, new projects are affected mostly because investors stop investing in new projects and we all know most of us believe in old and tested and trusted coins to make an investment.

This is why many traders never get any success at all, instead of looking at the bear market as an opportunity they look at it as something undesirable, which does not make a lot of sense, after all if people were willing to buy bitcoin for 69k then why they are afraid of buying bitcoin for less than 30k? You are being given more than a 50% discount, and if we take into account its potential during the next bull run then the price can be considered to be even cheaper than that.

Projects don’t exactly fail in the bear market they just get devalued as compare to their launching value. This is very common and investors also get scared and start converting their assets into stable coins or fiat sometimes. The problem is this causes even stronger panic into projects because coins are liquidated at alarming rate. The whole process is chaotic and could really make project go into dormant stages. This makes project struggle a lot before it can reach to the highest level one more time.

I believe that there are some that fail, not just go down or anything but literally fail. Sure, many coins usually do not fail and only go down and that is understandable but at the same time and that means we are not going to see zero fails, we are going to see some that will go down so much and will not recover when the bull period comes.

This is usually a situation where those horrible coins end up doing absolutely nothing at all, and that means we are going to end up seeing plenty of projects that will fail because they provided nothing and they did nothing. Crypto is a hyped place where a project doing nothing means terrible things for its future.

But still there are some meme and shitcoin that will eventually fail in the bear market. Maybe it's a way for the market to somewhat clean, but we al know that another one will replace it. Terra Luna has started the precedence now, and as hard as they wanted to revived the project and recover, it's not going to happen in the bear market and I will not be surprised that we can all consider them dead (maybe except those who wanted to believed that they can recover the money they've lost). S

o it's either those new projects are really solid in order to survived at the current situation, or wait it out, launched it when everything has settled down, or take the risk right now and has released in a bear market and see how will they do.

It is what happened.

Every bear market, too many projects that are failing and that's because of the devaluation and they're being left by most investors. The reason for it is that they don't see the value anymore for those projects, most of them are new.

Bear market being useful is all about being an investor and you accumulate at this time because everything is cheaper than before. Until you see the bulls again or until the price of these projects bump up and you're lucky that you've chosen good projects.

I've seen the highest returns investing in projects that launch during a bear market. Yes, these projects raise less funds but the upside is greater than older projects with a lot of bag holders looking to dump on new investors. CNDL is one L1 project that I am looking to invest in but I'm also looking at Layer 0 projects.

Good luck with that.

If you know how it goes and you know what's with the projects, you have an idea of how you'll make money in this bear market.

Many don't want to do that because afraid of looking into the market as it could dip for more. But if you have seen that there's greater return and you believe on that project, go ahead.

it's always hard going against the wave, although we already know and understand the principle of trading and investing, there is always some kind of doubt in ourselves that thinks maybe the value gonna go down again.
we all know that investing in the middle of the bearish market is always great, having such great discounted investment but most of people always can't help themselves but to think that maybe the bearish gonna lasts forever.
so that's it, it's the psychology that affects us the most in the bearish market so that we are doubtful in investing.

I fully agree with you. This is what each bear market is characterized by. Unfortunately, he would have to come to terms with the fact that the cryptocurrency market is very volatile and losses are part of this business. We also know from history that in long term is a profitable investment, so we just have to wait out the bad moment. We can use the waiting time to look for new gems. I think I found one - take a look on www.pussdao.com

[Lubcub62]

I myself also think not to leave the market even though it is bearish. because I don't want to lose the opportunity to buy at a lower price. with the DCA method. so I need to continue to monitor the market regularly so I don't miss a good opportunity to buy gradually. and also to maintain my portfolio so as not to suffer further losses if the market seems to be going down deeper.

And indeed fraud is becoming more common in new projects that emerge. so I myself chose not to enter the presale on a new project during a bear market like now. because the risk is too high.

Without a doubt it is something hard to do but at the same time it is something that has to be done, after all we know the majority of the traders will lose money in the markets, which means that if you follow the majority then you are bound to lose money anyway, so once you recognize this fact then you can more easily take decisions that go against the wishes of the majority as you know that is the only path which can generate profits for you.

[Outhue]

I've read about a few projects raising millions of dollars since this bear market started, are you sure that projects will find it hard to raise funds because of a bear market? That's not so true mate because presale investors also make huge amounts of money too, many projects will fail in a bear market but few new projects will stand strong.
