Of course I prefer the bull side, even though the market conditions have not yet recovered, but I believe in the future there will be a bull market.

Same here i also prefer the bull side because that is the only moment that we can earn better profits compare to when the value is  stable or dump  .  your correct there will always be a bull market than can occur  in the future because that is the cycle of crypto  .  bull and bears do have time limit or time span on when they will last  .

Even during the bear market, it will be difficult to find people who do not believe in the success of cryptocurrencies in this forum.

True because in this forum , people here were already aware that cryptos are volatile . the up and down is normal  .  but what about for those who are not a member of this forum ?  Im talking about average people  . they wont believe that crypto can be succesful if they see that the market is bear .

The people in your list aren't bitcoin "bears".They are anti-bitcoin haters.
A bitcoin bear,is a trader that expects that the bitcoin price will go down,so he sells now and buys later at a cheaper price,which means he gets profits.The people in your list are saying that bitcoin is bullshit and will die sooner or later.
True, a bear despite his position that the market will go down is someone that is directly engaged in the market so their opinions holds more weight to me than the opinion of someone that is not really part of the market and in some cases they do not even understand bitcoin or why it exists at all, as a member of this forum you may guess that I am on the bull side when it comes to the long term price of bitcoin but when it comes to the next months I am neutral and I do not see a huge movement happening.

Well that's just how most people perceive what bears are. Honestly, i think you can't really choose sides. Unless of course you have enough bitcoins to be able to move the market on a whim. Bulls and bears can be the same group of persons you knows.

Just surfing along the movement of waves since I don't want to bring anything into the market now,just let it be and we may see the real price growth in real future.Being on the some side is really meant that we will do something to get the price manipulated and go towards the side which we are in but I don't support the manipulation.

Even during the bear market, it will be difficult to find people who do not believe in the success of cryptocurrencies in this forum. Of course, I think that price drops it is a stage that we can find on every financial market and sooner or later prices will start rising again. So for sure i'm in the bull team.

I will always go wit the bulls because I'm always bullish.
I am more focus on long term investment and that should make me bullish, it doesn't matter what happen to the market, I know it will recover.
It's still early and the price is really cheap now but eventually we will see some significant improvement as the market progresses.
Of course many people will be more inclined to bulls, because that will give benefit. But we know that the market will always be bulls and bears. Like or dislike. Need or dont need. There will be a time when you sell and there are times when you start buying and collecting again when the bears occur

only newbies who have no idea what the market is and how profit is made are more inclined to bulls because of profit! otherwise you can make profit in both markets as long as you know how to ride the waves.

others are more inclined towards bulls because they know something like bitcoin is still in its early days and there is only growth in front of it so bull market is the over all trend that we will have for years to come. anything else looks like a bear market in short term.

We do all care about earnings that's why we are investing our money and time, who would love to be part of bearish if you already have your investment inside, only those who are still trying to shake the market or people who don't believe with the system will be on this side, while people who trust and
believe that this chain will succeed will continue supporting the bull.

You need to stand on your own ground, trust yourself and not to rely with anyone else to justify your success.

You didn't add the most controversial personnel;  McAfee. Anyway, I think it doesn't matter on which side you are on. For me,  I feel one can be in both side cause you can profit from the both of you want to, whenever they do their thing.
It's just a matter of knowing when to buy more and sell to re-buy.

There is some people who really don't know if this year become bull market still or bull run . Other said this year it will become bull run but this year other think it will still bear market.  

Once the bull run comes more people still earn more money but if they still bull run there is a lot of people who still suffer from it. I hope no more investor sell their coins to start bull run because of the panic investor they still here at bear market.

No matter which side these famous guys gonna choose the invention will go further. Elon Musk is one of the biggest supporters on this industry and honestly, I am agreed with his opinions regarding crypto revolution that can be a game-changer for a traditional system.
 Warren Buffett is an old investor and nerd trader and he knows timing about when to talk about crypto's advantages. Ben Bernanke's opinion is outdated and i doubt he understands the mechanism of blockchain and bitcoin in his statement.

Also, is there any sort of specific time period that we are talking about here?

If you look at who is being compared, it's pretty obvious we must be talking about long term opinions.

On one side you have people who say Bitcoin is brilliant (Musk) and will become the native currency of the internet (Dorsey). On the other side you have people calling Bitcoin "rat poison" (Buffett) and "worse than tulip mania" (Roubini).

I'm definitely on the bull side myself, but I tend to temper my expectations a bit more than someone like Jack Dorsey. I'm confident Bitcoin will play an important role in global financial and economic activity, but I'm also ambivalent about the "one currency to rule them all" mentality that many Bitcoin bulls have.

All these movements are part of something very important, they want us to sell cheap, when this is the opportunity to buy cheap, so maybe, by lowering the price of bitcoin cause panic in people who have invested in bitcoin, especially , those who are insecure.

Who are they? It's not that the "manipulators" pushing the price down means it's only them being presented the opportunity to buy lower, we all can.

I'm certain that most of the whales people think are manipulating the prices have done everything they could to support the price at levels well above the current ones. They are partly a bagholder too, just like many of us here are. The selling pressure was too much to handle for such a thinly traded market. It pumps and dumps hard, nothing new. It's just how this market is.

Is it really a question of whether you are with a particular camp of people? You might not even reflect their entire attitude towards bitcoin.

Also, is there any sort of specific time period that we are talking about here? Because you could be expecting a bear market to hit any time when bitcoin prices are overheated (like in the 2017 bull market) and yet still be a long term bitcoin bull. These two things are not mutually exclusive by any means.

I'd consider myself to be extremely bullish in the long term for bitcoin's potential, but I certainly am not a permabull which constantly spews out predictions that are never going to materialise, especially when a price correction is imminently happening.

I think the real investors don't think too much about entering at any price, it doesn't matter to them, the most important thing is how to be able to get profits and be able to influence prices in exchange.

Getting profits largely depends on your entry price, lol.

Investors aren't the same, they have different targets, risk management and different motives. I would say that most investors aren't as emotionally connected with crypto as most of us here are, which actually is a good thing. People valuing the fundamentals tend to hold on to their coins longer than those who don't, which especially during bear markets results in a wasted opportunity.

I could have gained way more by showing less attachment to whatever I hold in order to end up with more coins right now, but it's very easy to speak out like this afterwards.

entry price is only one part of making profit. there still is a lot of other things to consider before being able to make good profit from an investment. for example consider the case of 2017 rise. the lowest price was around $1000 at the start of the year and one could technically enter there but making profit depended solely on the decisions that the investor made after that. for example there were many who panicked and sold their coins as price went back down a little in correction. so in their cases despite entering at a low price, they lost money.

I am on the bull side. I believe we have gone past the market correction and we have gotten to the stage where we are going to see a bull run the market, my reasons being that ever since bitcoin got to the $3000 range, it remained there and haven't gone below that, this is to show that we have already reach the pick of how low bitcoin can get for now and all we can expect is a fast recovery of the market in 2019.

Investors choose Bear market and then they become Holders.
Holders choose Bull market to sell their assets for profit.
Or in other words: Smart investors buy when others sell and they sell when others buy.
Financial markets are a zero-sum game, one group will be in loss and another group will be on the different side of a trade. Bull traders look for liquidation points where bear hide their stops on sell positions. Before big trends, order stops of bears are filled with newborn buy orders of bulls. The match happens between orders, pressure squeezes opposite side for joining the trend, the train leaves the accumulation point. Just a friendly reminder, moving in the opposite direction is meaningless when a train is moving forward.
