Its the mindset - being a person who does not sell when the market is falling and does not buy when the market is rising is important. The majority of people who enter crypto are with a get-rich-quick mindset, because of which they will follow this mistaken line of trading.
That is where some traders are missing it in their trading today because they feel when the price is falling is the best way to trade, not knowing that it will make them to achieve loss, and if you want to make money from trading ensure you watch the market price at the moment the price has risen higher.
Crypto trading is not like other business you will invest and get rich quick from the business, but if you can endure for long with your trading, and follow the due process to to trade your coins you bought from the market, you will surely improve your profits.
If your mindset is not like that you will be able to make profits be it short or long term, provided you keep yourself limited to bitcoin. I cant talk about altcoins, they are not my cup of tea.
Just focus on your hodling during the bear without having the mindset of getting rich quickly because once you start making profits from your trading it will help you to get rich when you stay long in your trading.
