I saw a thread suggesting that new coins will bring big profit. This is true, however, these new projects that might bring big profit are harder to find during a bear market. This is not anymore a market where you can buy the most stupid coin similar to memecoins and profit 100x. This time we need to do more research on the project, what it does, the tokenomics, how much coins or tokens are issued and how much are emitted daily, weekly or monthly and the development team, if they are good and if they have enough funds to develop the project all throughout the bear market.
Also, it is important that you should not be wasteful with the money, bitcoins or stablecoins you have left for investing. The market might be bad for months, years or longer. Be cautious and do the research. Invest in good development teams.
Bear markets are usually a "test period" for cryptocurrencies where the weak ones will fade away while the strongest ones will remain after the tide settles in. "Meme" coins are worthless since they're only driven by hype. Coins with real fundamentals behind them will continue to develop behind the scenes with or without a bear market. You must choose wisely to preserve your investment for the long term. Usually the old coins (eg: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin) are all you need to live a great financial life for years to come. New coins are usually risky (eg: Solana) because of their unproven methods/approach to scalability, among other things. They can easily disappear if developers move on to the next big thing in crypto.
For what I know, the crypto market is truly unpredictable. No one can tell what exactly will happen in the future, so we can only hope for the best. Just my thoughts
