The way I’ve always prepared, I will just DCA & wait for better times to sell. I do not day trade, it’s for morons. We’re still in a bearish period & it could still last all the way through 2023 so the best thing to do is just ignore the price & stick to a plan.
Continue to buy at regular intervals & you’ll be greatly rewarded, it’s really that simple. You need dedication, conviction & patience but there are proven ways to be successful in crypto.
Day trade are for risk takers or to those who have a good skill in trading but if you are a newbie in crypto or in trading and then you jump in there directly then yeah you are a moron
. Bear or Bull, there will always be a way for a professional trader to earn because some coins don't stop fluctuating. If you choose to be a long-term investor then yeah ignoring the price or completely abandoning this market for a while is a big help to stick on your plans.
Mentally though, we must also be prepared. There's a chance this 2023 won't go as we expected and another fall may come. I am not being pessimistic but just trying to be flexible about other possibilities. We can't sell now, as all are down by a big percentage. The opportunity to take a profit seems to be far away.
Like you, many people are also bearish in 2023 so don't worry if you have no coins at the moment but you can always prepare next year to buy something. It's holidays seasons now and maybe someone will give you unexpected gifts. You can save that as well for investment purposes.
