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

[diminizio]

yes that's right. For some beginners, they think that the bear market is a terrible market, even if they always hope that the bear market will never return after leaving. But for experienced people this will actually be the best moment to create bigger profit opportunities because there is a bear market all markets are cheap. Here is a great opportunity to buy as many coins as we want. The hardest thing in dealing with all market conditions is when we hold them back.

I can't even blame them for why some people are too worried about the bear season. Why? You can't really imagine losing your money because you bought coins during the Bullrun and then the market went declining. That is definitely a hard time for them, I'm sure.
However, for some people, this bear market gives a buying opportunity for them.

Buy the dip, and sell it at ATH.
Investors are preferred having this. And to see that this kind of mindset gives them room for success.

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

True, it's caused by when a token or coin has utility and this can sustain for long term rather than the token that only peg with the hype that can gone anytime. The utility can make the platform has sustain income and this will make the project can sustain for long term as well unlike the project that has no utility usage. Im also prefer to holding the utility token instead of a bad token without any utility token. So many no utility tokens have death.

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.

I guess it really depend on the project itself, if it is a solid project, unique with a use case, then even if it is started on a bear market, there could be a chance that it will succeed in the future.

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

It's better if you are going to invest on projects that have established themselves though. Again, there could be some new projects that will not fail, however, it's going to be very difficult to find it. Unless you really know the people behind and believed on them.

The funds required for the startup to begin will not be there, investors will not fill the presales, and scams will rule.

I just don't agree that scams rule in a bear market. There are actually more scams during a bullish market based on what I have experience ever since.

And yeah, what is happening right now depends on how people approach it. Some will and leave and few would stay, only few would invest on startups presales or launches but what more important is what does the project offer or what is their utility. Because a strong project with an amazing utility will stand whatever kind of market it is up to. And this bear market will always turn to be good for those who stays and put their patience and hope on each of their respective projects and it will never be  a waste of time.

Lack of funding shouldn't be the reason why some brand new project fails in an immediate manner. If the project or the founders believe and built their ideas/concepts thoroughly, they won't stop only because of that. 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.

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.

And what better example than bitcoin, as far as we know Satoshi developed bitcoin on his own without any help and without any external funding, he did everything alone and he was able to create the first and still the best coin in this market, and yet the developers of this day require millions and millions of dollars when they are working with examples coming from tens of thousands of open source projects? I do not believe it, anyone using that excuse is not really a developer and just wanted to obtain some money out of this market.

Exactly. But let's exclude the exceptionally of Bitcoin. The point I trying to make is not to discredit funding isn't required, but rather to look as a whole at the product that they are trying to build. Those founders who know that their products have flaws or have another motive, like, as you say, money-grabbing scheme, are truly deemed to fail. Which makes it perfectly fine to assume that the product itself is utterly useless. And make the reason why no one bats an eye for investing in those things.

That is because those newbies are not thinking long term, they are only thinking about the fact their favorite coins are going down in value and they get scared when that happens as it never occurred to them that something like that could happen, I know it does not make sense at all but that is the way they think, however if someone is able to overcome that first reaction then we can easily see that a coin like bitcoin is worth a lot more than its current market price, which means that if we buy it now then the long term benefits that we will receive are enormous.

Actually, a price drop for a new project, after it comes on the market, is a normal phenomenon. It all depends on vesting. Seed investors or funds can partially offload their inventories of tokens bought at low prices, thereby increasing the circulating supply. This even happened in the 2021 bull run. You make a good point that even though the price of the project is going down, that's no reason to leave it altogether. Yes, you can lock in some profits, if any, and try to buy out the bottom of the project, which can go 90-97 percent below the ATH price or the listing price on the exchange.

The main thing is that the project continues to be supported by large investors and develop, according to the plans and timing of implementation.

If we are only waiting and not doing something exciting during the bearish time in which it will be also a long time, it will be boring and wasting of time. Of course, it will because we cannot utilize it every time to get a chance of profits, find the right projects, or even improve crypto knowledge.
On the other hand, it will be precious time when we can at least add more assets into portfolio for long-term investment to prepare for the bullish time later.

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

Btw, it will depend on what projects we are watching. I personally will prefer choosing the project that has been clear enough, listed in the top exchanges, and also have good progress and development. Here, I will also rpefer to invest in top coins, moroever Bitcoin

Holding is always the key in this kind of market, although it could hurt ourselves and our investment if we don't diligently looking for any great quality project and instead investing into some shitcoin since holding shitcoin is like a waste of time.
However, if we could realize our profit at around ATH at before the bearish market this kind of market could be honestly a blessing since everything is heavily discounted and you got some fund in your hand for investment.
It's just a matter of timing at the end of the day, investing is all the right moment for entering the market and realizing profit.

Some newbies thinks the worst time to enter the market was during the bear market, when they buy altcoins and the price kept dumping consequently got frustrated and dumped at a loss, however experienced investors knew that bearish market is the best season for buying Altcoins utilizing Dollar-cost averaging DCA in case of more dumping of the coin bearing in mind that no matter how long the bear market there will be a season of Bullish market, better still an experienced investor can buy low and sell high even during the bearish market although this requires some charting skills.

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.

It is really not that surprising that newbies do not understand that if they want to use a large amount of money to buy a coin they like then they need to do so when the interest in that coin is at a low point, if they do so when the interest is high not only they have to pay a high price their profits will be limited as well, by buying when everyone is afraid to do so not only they can get a better price but their profits can increase by a wide margin as well.

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.

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

Can't able to get what you're trying to say? Yes most projects will fail in the bear market but not many of them will be ready to launch their project if its legitimate when the condition is not favourable for them so we can assume that any projects will come at these time has higher chances to be a scam one.

About the existing project its the best time to get because we can get them for cheaper so then we can sell for higher price later.

we have to have a strategy concept for investment, for example if we have 20k$ in bear season I will invest 10k for altcoin rank above 50, for example it can be to buy ETH, BNB, SOL which will be stored long term to be sold in the ATH period that will come. and another 10k$ we develop into a new project with a quality that we think is good, from here for me it is not boring to wait for the moment of the bull season to come

Exactly. There are a lot of expectations during these dumps, another thing is during a bear market, a lot of opportunities too, especially cheap prices of some coins even Bitcoin. Because during a bear market, a huge correction is happening, almost more than a 50% drop when a bear market occurs.
And besides prices, we can also learn some knowledge, like exploring some things, like diving into DeFi, learning codes, and developing project related to cryptocurrency.

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.

[Cling18]

Every market situation should always be an opportunity for us to earn. While others feel fearful about the current market situation, we should take it as a chance not just to relax but to accumulate potential coins at low prices. We shouldn't miss the chance of buying cheap coins than to regret it when the market recovers again. We should keep in mind that a bearish market isn't permanent so we must take advantage of it.

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.

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.

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.

Investing in a proven market is the better way to have a safe investment.  And I never think that Bear Market is a waste of time for a trader, actually it is a better opportunity to gain a good profit when the market recover.

[gurunanakji777]

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.
