While it is true that no one is a fortune teller, the investor has no choice but to invest with an expectation. From analyzes and appraisals, assumptions arise. And, then, from the assumptions, the purchases or the sales arise. The optimist thinks that the price of his favorite asset will rise in the future. And the pessimist thinks exactly the opposite. The strategist instead prepares for both scenarios. What if the price goes down? What happens if the price goes up? What you want is to grow financially with the greatest possible stability.

In my opinion when we talk about cryptocurrencies it is not known what can happen, it is really uncertain that prices fluctuate day by day, since in addition to being very high one day it can be very low, it should be noted that there may be crypto assets that people tend to follow , which have a lot of movement in the market (this almost always remains at a resistance) but in the same way these markets remain in a very inconstant ups and downs.

From my point of view there are two types of investors, the first is here that when they realize that the cryptocurrency is in a bearish state, they feel fear and prefer to sell their investment completely, this either generates little profit than expected or at worst the cases lose what was invested, and the second is the visionary who, when the cryptocurrency is in a bearish state, buys and waits for a bullish state to sell at a high price and obtain very good profits…. In my case it would be the second since I consider myself a winner and as they say "he who does not risk does not win".

A few days ago I talked about this a bit but I didn't go into depth as such and I wanted to see what you guys thought. What would you do in uncertain times?

No time to sell but hodl. Otherwise, you end up selling at a loss. However, it also depends like when you think you are hodling some sort of shitcoins, i think it's better to sell them right away before they ran out of value and consider them as dead coins. But if you are investing in bitcoin, then hodl it until you see the market is recovering and bitcoin is back again surging to reach its new ATH. That is if you still want to be more profitable with bitcoin in the next couple of months or even a year.

I know their are still lot's of people that still panic and sell their coins during the bear market which is completely rubbish, I believe the only people that should panic when their is a bear market are the newbies, the people that are just entering the crypto space and have not experienced bear market before, but if you are into cryptocurrency and you are still scared of bear market that's completely wrong, if you are holding a good coin, most expecially if you are holding bitcoin we all know it will definitely bounce back but it might take time so you don't have to sell at lost.

On bright side yes, stability should be hunted in both the cases actually because crypto as such isn't favourable when it comes to the bearish trend. With the crypto falling down, people start with fomo reactions and sell off because they don't think straight. Most of the time they are scared that their investment would go zero but that does not happen if they are long term holders.

You will probably invest in both anyway by default as funds must be kept out of investments or in liquid and stable investments (eg savings accounts) to be used in emergencies..

Aside from that, if you diversify your risky assets enough you might be able to make better returns than stabler ones but I'd not advocate for putting a majority into crypto and taking risks for the sake of it also won't pay off (they have to have already grown and become notable - eg there are companies in the S&P500 that haven't grown much or at all in value in quite a while or often wipe out their profits.

Hodling is a great option in case of market uncertainty. When it is about bitcoin, I am kind of sure that the market will recover, no matter what. But I can’t say the same thing in case of other cryptocurrencies too. But still, it’s better than short selling.

Yes you are correct but is not everybody that have the mind set of holding currency for long time, people who holding for long time is for people who have extra money why some people panic and sell is because they have no money to survive and they rush and sell their coin and get money, people who get money and rich for bitcoins is people who large amount of money for the industry, selling with pressure alway push people for wrong side

I would advise you to increase the size of your investment portfolio. I think it's pretty simple here. In difficult times, it is better to have a larger investment portfolio.

It's the normal thing to do when we're experiencing uncertainty in the market. We should take advantage and be greedy to acquire more for our assets and investment. The thing is simple but not all of us are willing to take risks at that time when the market is full of speculation about being uncertain. It is affecting every investor because most of us want to be sure with our money and if it'll make much profit. But if you happen to target to grow with your portfolio and asset, you'll definitely buy more.

Increasing the size of your portfolio is wrong when you have not handle the one you have very nice, for investment you can invest in a place you know that if you lose it will not affect you seriously, any investment you are to carry out make sure you have zero mind that anything that happens to it you can bear it, you can invest what you can afford to lose not what will give you trouble when you lose it, start with low quantity and know your ability

I was about to say when I read the title of this: find something else to do or find something new in crypto to research. If you came for the technology or invested because you were interested in it, you can probably reignite that quite easily.

There are a few different types of investors too: ones that want stability and ones that want growth. If you're after stability, you're probably better off waiting to exit at break even or a bit of profit and then leaving. If you're after growth or you're interested in the technology you should already have some resilience and expectation you might be down at the start of your investment (eg exchange fees).

On bright side yes, stability should be hunted in both the cases actually because crypto as such isn't favourable when it comes to the bearish trend. With the crypto falling down, people start with fomo reactions and sell off because they don't think straight. Most of the time they are scared that their investment would go zero but that does not happen if they are long term holders.

Some of them actually realise this way later when they sell it but they are the ones who would make a come back in the later times and stay firm about their investment.

It's pretty much paid lesson when they sell in the bearish trend.

Not selling is the best we can do during those times. If you have been into the crypto space for some years now then you should get used to it. Market will always not go up the way we want. Erase all crypto related apps during bear or capitulation season where too much fuds are happening scaring more people to sell their cryptos. You are just giving the whales a to buy at the bottom by selling at loss.

For me personally, the uncertainty that can only be experienced for a while is an acceptable level of risk, in order to withstand the trend and the bear market that can affect, I almost don't look at the price value your investment portfolio. After going through the cycles of 2018, 2019 noa helps me better visualize opportunities for this uncertainty

Yes, and I think that is the primary driver as we look at this and just come back to sort of where we are in cycle and the fact that the things that we've seen happen are just a continuation of trends that have been going on for some time. And so when you think about the set of risk that we're facing and the fact that risk's turned the corner with interest rates up, volatility up, and commodities moving more, that is a pretty significant catalyst to demand for different types of capital assets like Bitcoin.

now the price of bitcoin is down again, this is the right time to buy bitcoin, in 2018 the price of bitcoin is also going down. Many people have lost faith in bitcoin. This history repeats itself in 2022. When people panic sell, it is an opportunity to profit in the future.

Even it's unfavored, I'm looking at the price just to monitor it. Just endure all the pain in times of uncertainty and think of this time as part of the growth that you'll have as it's a hard process to be at the top again. Imagine of it that it has to happen no matter what you think of it.
Being emotional will not help you grow on this market but it's just going to pull you down and will put your efforts into vain if you allow to hit you badly.

* Keeping strong
* have faith
* keep patient

We sometimes need some break-out from crypto. Seeing the market daily and only just declines certainly affects our minds and could lead to emotional stress. At this difficult time, many people had suffered losses as they can't manage to hold their emotions, kinda hard if we keep checking our portfolio. Staying away from it for a while will help and save us from thinking negatively and uncertainty.

In difficult periods when the market is falling, it is worth using this opportunity to buy bitcoin at a low price. The fall was predictable, the only question was when it would come. After a bull market, a bear market always comes, this is normal, it has always been like this and so far everything is repeating itself without changes. It's always an opportunity, it's just a matter of whether you take advantage of it or not.

It is indeed true that predicting the exact price of bitcoin at exact times is difficult if not impossible. But even so, predicting a range becomes possible and more easier depending on the ways you go about it like how you use tools or indicators to help read price movements and such. Which, gives way for better educated guesses/predictions to help create better plans/strategies that can lead to big or small profits. Of course, it does not apply for signal subscribers or gamble traders. Oh well, at the end of the day, finding ways that suits you most by experience is what veterans bank on while some, specially on bitcoin rely on long term holding while buying whenever they have extra funds to spare or on good dips.

In investing, especially in cryptocurrencies, uncertainty becomes unavoidable even when the market is stable, it can surprise us at times. And that is a normal thing and will continue to happen here, our skills in analyzing the market are important, not only that, we must pay attention to other fundamental things so that we don't experience something unwanted.

In an uncertain time, hodl is what I do, this is what I've learned some months back, and I learnt it the hard way.
Like the op said, am that kind of investor that used fear uncertainties like we currently are right now, what I used to do is to sell off all my crypto holdings ones the entire market begins to bleed, and withdraw the money to my bank hoping to send the money back to crypto later and buy back when the market has become green again, but this never happens cus I end up spending all the money on useless things, and I end up loosing on huge profits which I would have made if only I held unto my bag.

Right now, I've learnt to hodl when the market is full of uncertainties, when the market is down is the best time to buy and hold, and if it keeps going down, then make sure to reserve some money that you will use to keep my the dip, hodl until another bull seasons comes on.

In a time of uncertainty, you should be confident and invest when others panic but be panicked when others are confident because the big fish will play their dirty tricks.

My only fear regards bitcoin is that internet becomes unavailable at some moment of our history due to massive wars or censorship. That is the kind of uncertainty I most fear when thinking if I should keep my investments in bitcoin or not. In extreme situations I'm not sure if digital goods are a good idea, so it's preferable to focus in physical intrinsic stuff, which you can have direct access to, without having to rely on a third party service or item to transact or deal with.

On the other hand, in a chaotic scenario like that, bitcoin would fit as a decent choice to be used to help rebuilding the world, once the storm is over and new times begin. Consequently it might be worthful to keep holding even when the scenario looks the worst possible.

That's what I was thinking when there were rumors that WWIII will broke out due to Russia/Ukarine conflict. In such scenarios it will be impossible to come in contact with your bitcoin and for daily living we need some physical stuff that has some value. But then again, in which physical asset to convert is again a big question as fiat will be useless in case we have uncertain situation like WWIII.

No good thing lasts forever and it's like the saying "every huge opportunity comes with huge risk" and it is either to join the race or get run over.
Technically, nobody want war even Putin either doesn't want it, but his political rules wanted it because he ^Putin wants Russia to get back to the world stage in terms of superpower ever since the fall of the Soviet Union.

Nevertheless, Bitcoin is the future of the payment system and every opportunity it presents now will be a blessing in years to come.
It is better to focus on good things to come than worry about something you cant control which will only make you lose the opportunity thats right in front of you.

I believe that any investment should be considered. I started my interest in cryptocurrency five years ago. At that time I understood that there would be a prospect in it. I studied a lot of different coins that in the future can bring me income, I wanted to do trading so I studied the market and read information about every prospective coin. Bitcoin was always a promising coin for me. Because I always buy it regardless of the rate. I think that soon cryptocurrency will be everywhere and it will be possible to buy even common products for cryptocurrency. This is our future. I was interested in the fact that you can start investing in bitcoin to get Vanuatu citizenship. I think it is a good and promising investment which will bring a lot of benefits. If you want to spend your savings, it is better to invest them in something useful.
