Just how bad is the bear market right now?
Historically low prices have endured for a longer period of time in the present bear market cycle than in any other.

This bear market is so bad for short term and long term users especially for those whose first entry was above 50k . DCA is best option but I think if someone start DCA from 50k now fund will be also zero. I have sold all my tokens before December and now feeling very cool. I think we can see BTC Below 12k which will be another blow For Holders.

Not really, a bear market is a good opportunity for new investors to come in.  The current bear market isn't worse than the previous bear market we experienced.  As far as I can recall, they have the same thing, hacks, scams, company-turning fraud, and bankruptcy.  It is a normal thing in a bear market so I can say, the market is just as bad as the previous one and like the previous one, the market will eventually recover.

Crypto markets are cyclical. Although the market is still in a bear market right now, it is a good time to accumulate for future appreciation. Just take the opportunity to buy low and Bitcoin and the crypto market will rise again during the next bull run.

Realizing that bear market is not "bad" is the key to your success if you keep thinking that it is bad then you are going to be upset about it all the time. Realizing it is not a bad thing but a profit making chance will give you the chance to focus on it as much as you possibly could. I personally believe that we should be happy when there is a market crash.

I know this sounds crazy, why would I be happy when my portfolio is 80% down right? Well simply because it means you could buy bitcoin for so much cheaper and that gives you a chance to make a lot more profit later on when the price finally goes back to ATH prices yet again, and you would be getting richer and richer.

Bearish trend is part of the market movement. For this reason whether the market is bullish or bearish, just enjoy it. Every bear market is followed by a bull market. It is a must to enjoy the market movements and try to make an earning out of the volatile market unlike the market trend. Patience is the only key required to enjoy the outcome of the bear market, which is the the beginning of bull market.

rather it's all a cycle when the bearish comes, there will be bullish arriving, and it will keep repeating itself.
a lot of people think that this year's bearish cycle is very bad, but for me it has happened in the past and I'm not really surprised.
it's true that in a situation like the current one we shouldn't panic and have to be patient to keep collecting decent assets for us to hold until the price really reaches ATH or wait for the bulls to arrive.

If we say this was the worst time maybe it wasn't, it was a few years ago almost the same thing but it was worse than this, and finally bad it turned into a perfect thing when the Bear Market disappeared and the Bull Market entered the market, Crypto market is cyclical , and now the Bearish cycle is coming, and this cycle will continue to rotate, now we are in a Bearish cycle, it is very likely that this cycle will change to Bullish.

Crypto will always repeat itself either when there is a decline or when it will increase, and this cycle is always repeated until the upcoming halving period, precisely when this is the most appropriate time to continue hunting for good coins to invest in. every time a vase bear market occurs, it will not be long before it will be followed by a vase bull market, but indeed the bear market will occur for quite a long time now because it is estimated that only 2024 will start entering the bull market period, and even then it will occur entering the second quarter.

It was really bad for those who think that bear season is a losing season but for those who take a look on the opposite side, they consider this as an opportunity. I was not hesitant to see the situation again (and again) but never I seen the market that worse. We only make ourselves bothered too much by the FUDs around and then drive us to think negatively. Panic and emotions - I couldn't really imagine a person would think positively if they already lived to such things.

Thinking about how bad the current bear market is is less about thinking about how to take advantage of the current situation. Over the past few years, the crypto market has still proven to be good. The bear market is precisely the best time for investment accumulation. Many well-developed currencies have been able to recover from bear markets and still have high growth potential.

[ARTURVH]

It's very obvious that the market situation is bad. We've seen the price going as low as $15k, -74% from our last all time high just a year ago. ETH is down -73.18%, BNB is down 61.09%.

So that's only the top 3 crypto, what else if we look down in the list? I'm sure that there are a lot who has -90% or even higher.

The scary thing is that it's just the start of the bear market and what others have said, next year could be worst, so we need to get ready in the next 12 months still because the market should still be in the shaky ground.

2023 is a more anxious year. Obviously, the general environment is not good. The global economy has entered a cold winter, with no income, facing unemployment, declining consumption power, no money to repay loans, and how can I have money to buy Bitcoin. I think I am not alone. This is the case.

[Valeriary]

It wasn't too bad either. Spring seems to be a long time away. Maybe this is also an opportunity. Now you can choose the coin you are optimistic about, and 2023 should be no different from 2022. Don't use a year as a unit. You can invest in units of one week. However, everyone has their own investment methods. Find an investment method that suits you. This will save a lot of money and also get considerable profits. Trust the crypto market. The cryptocurrency market is the future.

Many people think the bottom could be in now, I am hopeful but not convinced. We are experiencing a bit of a relief rally currently. Bitcoin is back over $17,000 & some alts have risen as much as 25%.

I think stay vigilant, keep some cash spare because there is every chance we could still go lower. It’s still so difficult to tell where we are in the market & if the bottom is in. We won’t know for a while.

[Valeriary]

Don't be pessimistic. Maybe now is also an opportunity. A lot of people pay attention to the crypto market because a few things get magnified and affect the price of coins. However, the coin price will rise after the cycle passes. Many who miss this opportunity will regret it. Many people who leave the crypto market will come back again. All people can do is to stop losses in time, and any decision they make will also be considered.

[rozak]

Don't be pessimistic.

bear market this time is quite long. those who now think pessimistically are of course beginners. but those who are experienced, see opportunities of course. but that's not enough. because those who are patient and believe in market potential are the winners. long bear markets of course frustrate a fair number of new investors. try to come out with a loss and switch their investment to another plan with different assets.

When a bear market lasts a long time, of course beginners tend to worry about market conditions like that and that for me is normal,
their experience is still little so that's what happened,
they need to learn and try to take advantage of this bear market to make a profit.

I think we are very close to the end of bear market. Whenever I enter bitcointalk or twitter all I see is hopelessness. I think its a proof to end. People always quote "buy when there is blood on street", and its very accurate quote. Crypto markets are in very bad shape now. Year ago I had many friends trying to buy altcoins. Now no one left asking a single question about crypto. Consider this as investment opportunity. I think next year february we will see Ethereum in far better position. This is my take about alts.

The thing is, people are just too focus on the market's situation right now and has forgot the fact that this is not the first time it happened, and surely, it won't be the last either. It's just a cycle that has been around since it was created, it may be the longest declination in the history of bitcoin but we're still blessed to have this kind opportunity to accumulate more before the market recovers because it will always recover.

For beginners of this kind of bear market will be a very valuable lesson for their future in the world of cryptocurrencies like this. Yes, this way they will definitely realize that the market sometimes moves downwards and doesn't always make you smile with higher price movements. This can be their experience to be more careful when entering the market.
Their worries are natural, it is very true because they don't have much experience with bear markets. But when they face the next bear market they can make more appropriate moves to take advantage of the bear market that occurs.

True, as you said, many people are still focused on the short term, although not all but on average are like that, so they are a little panicked about the current conditions, especially those who focus on daily trading. But on the other hand, this is also not the first time that we should be aware that it is with fluctuations like this that bitcoin grows and what we have to do is remain patient and try to hold back so that we don't release the assets we have in our portfolio.

Spring is not that further away, there is just 1.5 month away and that could be a lot better in the long run. I know that picking a coin would be a troubling thing but I am not entirely sure that's going to work out in the long run. It's much better to stay at something like bitcoin which would be a lot more amazing if you are asking me.

I have to say that it's going to be important to stay at bitcoin, and ethereum which would be good but then you are going to end up with a lot higher prices and profits at which point you could end up with a lot better results if you could focus your profits into smaller things to turn your profits into even bigger profits with a little bit of risk.

Not all would really be that having the patience and thats why its not surprising that not all would really be going for that long term and this is why they are really that serious and mindful
about on whats happening in the market today which is really that very bearish which it would be normal on creating that doubt and lose of confidence on making up investment.
The thing here is that you should be able to handle yourself well into this market despite on what condition or trend it would be.

It might be looking that bad but we cant really expect that it would really be good always and there are indeed times that it do crashes and instead of freaking out
it would be better to look these things as opportunity for you to get in.

btc has proven time that it is one of the reliable cryptocurrencies to hold onto. we know that if anything happens, btc won't disappear just like many other alts. it may go down from time to time, but it will stay. and if there will be good news, expect that it will slowly climb up its price. just like what we are seeing right now. it finally surpasses the 17k mark and it seems improving again. it may be slow but at least we are seeing the market to be green.
