Cryptocurency isn't like a get rich quick market, those who think they can get rich quick gets destroyed in market. If you chase after the hype, it'll only end badly for you because we have different trends in the cryptocurency market and they shift from time to time
Thanks to the high volatility of the market, it can be said that cryptocurrencies are a quick money market, but to get rich quickly, we also need to pay a very high price. The higher the return, the higher the risk.
We can only get rich be investing for very long term and that's not just for the 4 year cycle of the market. You should hold more than a decade so when you sell, you sell your assets with big profits. Bitcoin is very bullish in the long view as the price is going to be high.
The market is only 14 years old and has already made many people rich, holding bitcoin for the long term is good, but not necessarily holding for a decade, as you say. That's a very long period of time and I don't think many people will do it.
All markets will come and go so we shouldn't be scared of the bear market because it won't last forever. We should use this opportunity to buy more Bitcoin and hold because soon we'll be out of the bear market and the bull market will begin.
In the end, I agree with you. I even get excited when the bear market lasts because I have enough time to accumulate everything on the cheap. Once we invest in cryptocurrency and fear the bear market, we will never succeed.
