A bear market is for buying and holding, A bull market is for selling and taking profits, if this doesn't sink into anyone's brains they will be doing everything wrong.

It is only understood correctly by few and only these few people will be able to make money. First time into a speculative market everyone thinks like this and they make the mistake of buying at the top and then selling at the low. The mistake of buying or selling at the wrong time occurs because people dont observe speculative markets long enough to make this decision or how these type of markets work and how to make money from them.

True that everyone does not have the brain to understand this nor the patience to keep up with the market and follow and investment through its ups and down but this short term quick gain attitude is why the current young generation is unable to make money from the markets.

There are so many people during bull runs that run out of cash because they like to buy all they could buy to ride the wave, which results with them losing a lot of money when the crash finally starts, it could go up a lot, and I mean A LOT, but eventually it will go down, so having a little bit of your profit cashed out could benefit you.

Same people sell a lot during bear run, whereas you should have cashed out at the bull run to take profit, and during the bear run when its low like this, you should go out shopping. Its low right now, and everything is looking delicious to me, I am running out of money from buying all these amazing coins and tokens, because I know they are at the bottom.

Have cash after you profit a good sum, but do not have any cash during bear run and buy it all.

They are newbies who don't know how crypto market runs, when ever a bull market is alive its not the time to start buying unless you are investing on a new project that just launched and you are one of the few that get into the project very early, also it's wise to take profits as more people gets in..

A bear market is for buying and holding, A bull market is for selling and taking profits, if this doesn't sink into anyone's brains they will be doing everything wrong.

~snip~and while holding forever is a strategy that makes sense when we are talking about bitcoin, it is not a good strategy to employ when we are talking about new altcoins as they have a very short lifespan.

If you say holding forever in bitcoin that's also wrong, no one wants to keep holding without taking their profits. Holding of course there will be a limit, determining the target will make you not hold the dive. For altcoins that have a short life it also depends on the development of altcoins, if you say altcoins like Ethereum, BNB certainly can't say short-lived because their project is clear and development is ongoing.

The importance of taking profits when the opportunity arises cannot be overemphasised. So many persons were once very rich in tokens but due to the dwindling value as well as their hesitant to cash out, they don't have anything to show for it. The market is volatile and nobody is always lucky. When the tide falls on your favor take some benefits and invest in other aspects of your life.

This is true, people get so obsessed with the idea of obtaining more profits that when a coin begins to go down instead of selling and be happy with the profits they got already they get too greedy and keep holding their coins hoping for even more profits to come their way, and while holding forever is a strategy that makes sense when we are talking about bitcoin, it is not a good strategy to employ when we are talking about new altcoins as they have a very short lifespan.

I think the day has come for most of the people to realize that holding alts is not a good strategy. If you want to get rich in crypto, then hold cash and BTC, you will survive any market. Never go all in on a coin when it's pumping, bet small, and few more times. Do not forget to profit during a pump.

This is probably the most important thing in crypto and finance. You do not want to be caught in the middle of a crash or a trend buy try to sell at the very top.

That should be the obvious conclusion but many people are not going to accept this as easily, and the reason is that they have lost so much money holding altcoins that if they were to accept your conclusion then this means they have been making mistake after mistake and wasting their money in the process as well, such a reality is too difficult for most people to accept and as such they will try to prove us wrong, but as you may guess they expose themselves to even bigger losses if they do that.

Risk is something that humans love to take but hate it when it hits them. Altcoins are the cornerstone of how risks are involved in cryptocurrency more than bitcoin. Some people will always go for them because that impulsive decision taking and quick money making mindset is present in them.

Crypto ends up being a short term stint for many people. They buy at the top when everyone is talking about it and then sell at the bottom when the same people are making FUD about it. This happens because of lack of research and dummy trading. Hence these people lose out on cash at hand or bitcoin at hand at the proper times. After all, how hard is it to buy at the low and sell at the high? Turns out, it is a game of patience and people lack it in general.

This is common experience which anyone out there might likely face because in crypto is basically planning and targeting, if you don't plan well you might end up not having a dimn when the time comes and you might have a cool time to buy some trusted cryptos with potential but at then no funds to buy either.

You still have time to buy crypto because the bear market is still here and we can buy a lot of potential coins that we can invest in. If you are afraid to buy all at once, you can buy them in stages so you can buy at a lot of low prices and avoid buying at high prices. Once you can get a lot of potential coins, you have to wait for them to go up and it will depend on the coins. And now you have to hold the money and wait for the moment to buy it.

It has been nearly a year since the last bull run, which means that people had a long time to buy as many projects as they want and that’s understandable, I mean if we are talking about a situation where people would be able to get as much as they want from 100 different projects if they wanted to, because it's a whole year, it was definitely enough time.

I personally believe that it’s not smart to get that many, because most of them are shit projects, it’s better to have 5-10 good ones instead of spreading it to 100, but people had time to do both so there is really no problem. I believe that the best thing to do right now would be just DCA and wait until bitcoin goes back up.

They can buy as much as possible but that doesn't guarantee they can benefit from all the projects they invest in. We must really be able to choose the right project so that the investment we make is not in vain and we cannot get the profit we want. This needs a deeper analysis to be able to get or choose the right project because each project may give us the temptation to invest in them.

Yes, investing in 5-10 good projects is better than choosing 100 projects at once without doing any analysis because we also don't know which projects will explode and provide huge profits in the future. But for now, we still have enough time to choose the right projects because market conditions are still in a bear market so we might be able to focus on projects that are already in a good position in the market. And if it is bitcoin, the strategy we use and the best is probably DCA.

Well there is old strategy which is DCA if you wanted to buy and invest in crypto, but obviously, you will have cash in ready like every week to buy and that's why it is always valuable to have cash ready in our hands.

So in bear market, you simply but with your cash and hold. But if there is some event that you needed more, then definitely you can sell some.

But the best time to sell is really on the bull run when the market is green and the price is going up, revenue is gong to be good.

It's hard to say because no one knows when a bear is to start some you may see the bear coming beforehand it gets back at then you might threatened to sell without making proper research otherwise one can get cashed out when the bull is still running. If you tends of jumping in again you stand another chances of losing and ending up feeding the market to the whales. Most times I do run out of cash but doesn't mean there was no good plan or something, it means I wouldn't like to temper the savings which I have rather to others things which I found more important of.

This my strategy is pretty much same with other have saying

That cash out when bull market, take profit is very needed especially if you are seen a massive gain, and hold a few.

Start to enjoy some profit and then stake the it to stable coin pool

After some while when the bear market come start to DCA some asset that you think is good and stake the coin till the bull run happen again

The current market situation is a good opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency market industries which many coin's are in bottom line, as very good position to buy, which many investors seen it as bear market to invest on many difference coin's, while some are still waiting for the market to Dip small as Bitcoin price is dropping slowly. Main why some don't have many to buy, while many people that already know the system invest in every stage as the Market Keep going down.

It is why everyone has to realize that during the bull run, it's best to save some from those profits that we made and put it on cash or stable coin.
So, when the times of bear market as expected every after the bull run. We can have some time for shopping for those very cheap altcoins that we want to have.
Like those type of investors that would buy those coins that are good to stake, they're having that strategy to buy many of it during its cheap price.

One fact I have discovered with many forks is that they are always cut in the middle of each wave.
Some even with a bull run tend to waste a lot of time before selling and holding more cash but because of greed and some other factors, they waste a lot of time, and before you know it bears market will set in again.
So the best time to take the right actions is when you already made an average profit in your holding and also the best time to buy is when the price is low and near the bottom, so in doing that one needs to have good knowledge of the price chart to understand Bitcoin previous market behavior.

Most of the time realization comes when it was too late. But we still have the chance to correct it and consider this as a lesson to learn. What we need is to change our mindset and drive out this greediness in mind because this is the reason why we fail.
We need to have financial education, we need to take a look at how we can prepare for the future and make a plan for it. Of course, this is not an easy adjustment to do but if we are determined to do this, it becomes possible.

True but this requires to have a long term approach not only to investing but in your life in general, as you will need to have money saved precisely to take advantage of the low prices we are seeing today, and very few people can do this, not only because saving any money during the current circumstances is hard but also because they lack the ability to think on those terms, so as soon as they have saved some money they spend it in stuff they want but which they do not really need.

Certainly,
Saving cash is necessary and this will be useful for various kinds of. Because that's the importance of money management in life. We can divide our money into several things, including money for needs, businesses, investments, and also money for temporary savings (just in case something happens or needs suddenly).
Regarding money for investment, when we also want to provide or save cash in case the market goes down and buy more assets, this must also be considered. That is, stick with free money that is specifically for investment. because investing in crypto still contains risks.

If indeed we do not prepare money for market conditions this time, we just have to find it and prepare it now for free money. So that we don't miss the train to invest in Bitcoin or other valuable assets.

It takes a great deal of wisdom and patience to be effective in this space. You need wisdom to make the right decision and patience to wait until it materializes.
The importance of taking profits when the market is bullish cannot be overemphasized. We are quick to forget that the bull market is only for a while and would be followed by a longer duration of bear market where buying would be more beneficial.

Only few people know this that's why we see a lot of people complaining during the bear market because they have it all wrong. Buying during the bull run and selling during the bear market, there's no profit in that it's just a waste of spare money and there's no more left during the correction that should be the money to buyback if they ever done taking profit during the bull run but it happens the other way around. Sooner they will realize how important it is to have an extra money when everything is in a recession.

True but this requires to have a long term approach not only to investing but in your life in general, as you will need to have money saved precisely to take advantage of the low prices we are seeing today, and very few people can do this, not only because saving any money during the current circumstances is hard but also because they lack the ability to think on those terms, so as soon as they have saved some money they spend it in stuff they want but which they do not really need.
