Honestly speaking, I am not going to speak from others' points of view because I don't have any idea about others' opinions regarding this. But if I say about my point of view, then this is simple. I believe in the crypto space that if my choice is a good company, then I don't need to worry about ups and downs. I will just hold it for life time and when I need it, I will just cash out my profit. Because I believe the best things might take time but will definitely give results. And good company means real coins like bitcoin, ethereum, ltc, bnb, sol, luna, just buy and hold. That's my opinion and I hold others' opinions might be different. Thank you.

A good crypto investor isn't the one who worries about his holdings at times of uncertainty. A good crypto investor prepares for such times when the market is flourishing. Start preparing for the worst when everyone is ecstatic like they were at the dawn of 2021. Always think, analyze, predict, and act, or exercise patience, when needed. And then there won't be any "times of uncertainty."
And what are the steps for the "good crypto investor" must take? As a preparation for the correction?
If for example you're a long term hodler, what specific action would they make as a preparation for the bearish season?
Coz I believe the only preparation you will make when you're a long term hodler is your patience and knowledge. Once you sell on the dip, you'll probably going to lose big time eventually.
Patience is easier to say btw, but when your portfolio is down like 80%, it will actually cause you a worry lol.

I feel very bad for Ukrainians and I feel they must have pondered on this point in last 2 months on this. I would like to hear prospective of any Ukrainian here how they managed their investments in these times of war.
Also if bitcoin really helped them in any way during the war. Personally I believe invest in technology, no matter in what form.
Its technology which is going to reward for sure. Invest in future tech like AI, Smart car companies, Vaccine research firms and yes fir sure crypto

Keep buying BTC.
If you think it's going to be a bull run and go up get in now.
If you think it's going to be a bear market and go down, well buy some now and buy some later and you can cost average down if needed and if you are wrong and it goes up you are ahead.
Buy cheap sell high.
What's the issue?

it's true as you said, buying cheap selling high will definitely be a very extraordinary profit, when there is an opportunity then take advantage of every opportunity that comes into a big opportunity in the future, when uncertainty is sure most people will back down, so I will take the opportunity when people retreat, and I try to enter, indeed the risk is right in front of my eyes, but the risk I take will be a sweet dream in the future. If you think it's going to be a bull run and go up get in now.

What would you do in uncertain times?
What is happening in recent days with the main asset of cryptocurrencies is not something new, since it was created it has had certain falls that have caused uncertainty and fear in investors, especially those new to this area, leading them to take certain decisions that in one way or another affect them. However, it is estimated that this year bitcoin is having the worst relapse in history which happened from one moment to another to have losses of 15% to 19%, it is for this reason that I am not surprised by the tension that is currently being experienced , but as always nothing is written, anything can happen, so you should think intelligently, because if you decide to sell everything just for the terror of having losses with this currency you could regret it later. Personally, and knowing its great volatility I would risk investing a certain part.

The best thing to do is to hold onto your investments in times of uncertainty. You never know what may happen. It’s best to be prepared to face any situation and convert it into a potential opportunity to receive returns.

Your example of two types of investor is limited and not applicable in the broad idea. What you rightly described above is an early investor and a late investor. Anyone that bought bitcoin at $62k would have panic and some sold off. But this cannot be said about people that bought at $26k. When you talk a wrong and false position, you cannot be comfortable with the market, that's it.
The only way out is that, if you are holding a shit coin, you can sell off because it might not revert again. But if you have bitcoin and still has spare cash to maintain yourself, hodl your btc.

It is better not to deal with dubious alts at all, this is always a very big risk. If the bear market has started now and it lasts for several years, then many shitcoins may not survive, that is, bottom out and stay there. Bitcoin is a reliable investment, no matter how much its price falls, it always returns its positions and reaches new ATH. Those who bought bitcoin at 60k and more may be worried now, but what's the point of selling now when the price has fallen so much? The best option now would be only hold.

There have been some studies in the past that show that in times of uncertainty the need for information goes up dramatically, this in return raises your stress levels and it could lead you to make some mistakes.
Since the markets are not something that we can control and they are going to move independently of what we want then in times of uncertainty it is better to take some time off and do something else with your time and try to avoid thinking too much about the markets, then after you have calmed down a little bit and you kept your distance from this market then you can begin to monitor it again.
Indeed, the need for information will increase and at that time, false information will also circulate which can lead us to get wrong information about the state of the market and we can make wrong decisions. That's why it's better if we can be patient for a while and maybe taking some time off as you say would be better for us. With that leave, we can refresh our minds and enjoy more time for us to use for other things.Since the markets are not something that we can control and they are going to move independently of what we want then in times of uncertainty it is better to take some time off and do something else with your time and try to avoid thinking too much about the markets, then after you have calmed down a little bit and you kept your distance from this market then you can begin to monitor it again.
It is very useful for all of us because I have done it many times, especially when the market is volatile or uncertain. At least, I can come back well and can analyze with ease and not rush.

If you are a good investor, you should be prepared for times of uncertainty, and don't act as if they will never happen and catch you by surprise. The latter is more typical of retail investors who invest following the advice of their friend/the banker/the trendy youtuber, etc.
Good investors know that bad times will come, and are prepared for it, managing liquidity well to buy cheap.

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".

It's just a glimpse, if we believe in the long term why should we worry about the short-term momentum?
Excessive worry is always felt by short-term traders. While long term holders are used as momentum to take more Bitcoins and go back to sleep.
plummet even more which is really a very common reaction or behavior thats why lots of times we do really miss out opportunities on making profits due into this one.Basing up on real experience
and ideas then its not really bad to make out such action or consideration on these kind of particular times.

If it's Bitcoin just HODL. It would be a stupid thing to sell in a bear market. BTC will still reach 100K one day if Putin won't drop the rocket and/or we won't have another COVID, there is always hope in this world.
Bitcoin reaching hundred thousand is good but can investors be patient until the time reach. Is not all investors that have the mind of leaving their bitcoin to stay to the bull market that will give bitcoin price another shape. People do sell their bitcoin when they have both minor problem and larger problem and they will not look after if the price is in bear market or in bull market and what they are interested is to Fitch the money and solve the problem at hand. People does not sell bitcoin un the time if bearish because they are afraid of invaluable regulations of Bitcoin price

It is true that crypto market is completely uncertain. We all move over the trust, that the market will progress with time. Being volatile is the characteristics of bitcoin. People also love the volatility, because without this there is no earning access. When we think about the risks, there is risk with every form of investment. With cryptocurrency this is found little above other form of investment. For the risk, there is profiting access.
Fear should not accompany cryptocurrency investors, because if they fear automatically the decision goes wrong. I would suggest the long term users just leave the holding unlike the market variations. For short term holders and users who make unexpected selling it is good to hold partial investment in terms of stablecoins and partial in the form of bitcoin. This will help to maintain the portfolio without much disturbance caused due to the market crash.

Volatility is one of the characteristics of cryptocurrency (except the stablecoins).
But, why people are still investing in cryptocurrency although they are so volatile and uncertain?
For me, the reason is:
- Depend on what cryptocurrencies we are investing in. If that is Bitcoin, we are sure that even if the price drops, it can rise up again moreover if we are holding for the long term.
- If they are top altcoins with strong and interesting fundamentals, we also believe that they may have bigger chances to survive and rise up again in the future in certain period.
- It is about the trust on some cryptocurrency
- We can utilize the volatility to earn some profits, volatility may be bad for us, but sometimes, it will also work well so much on us.
- That's the beauty also of the diversity

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.
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….

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?

What would you do in uncertain times?
Do not panic. When bitcoin drops 5% to 10%, this is the uncertainty becomes the thought of everyone specially the newbies. They think that it's the end and bitcoin won't recover anymore but they're all wrong.
Based on the experiences that me and the others have, it will gradually recover and go up again. So if you're uncertain on these times and you see the bloody market, you either buy while it's there or just do nothing which is better.
But if you're firmed in selling at losses, that's your decision.

"Nothing ventured nothing gained."
That is a well-known phrase, it is also one of the situations that is most put into practice.
In this bearish time I would buy more bitcoin because I am one of the investors who see bitcoin as a long-term investment as a reserve or as a treasure.
I would also invest in an altcoin that can give me short-term profits to continue buying bitcoin.
The world crisis that is affecting the markets makes us look at bitcoin as a hope to overcome the imbalance that we may suffer as a result of it.

no matter if bitcoin is $370, or $3.7k or $37k
at each era there is always a known 'value window' the price is sitting in at that time..
work out that value window of the time you are deciding what to do.
EG right now the value window is roughly $30k-$70k
meaning bitcoin right now to some might seem like 'bear' or 'doom' but to others seem like cheap/discount/good value
if you are in the fear state. dont sell all your investment. instead calculate how much money you actually NEED out. but leave some in to take advantage of future bull market returns
i personally would look at the window of $30k-$70k
and segment that value window into 4 quarters
and if the prices were in the top quarter ($60k-$70k) then id be more happy to exit 100%..
next quarter of window down($50k-$60k) 75% exit
next quarter of window down($40k-$50k) 50% exit
next quarter of window down($30k-$40k) 25% exit
if in the hype hapy state wanting to invest. the opoosite is true
deciding how much of your fiat to invest
and if the prices were
in the top quarter ($60k-$70k) then enter upto 25%(or very little)
next quarter of window down($50k-$60k) enter upto 50%
next quarter of window down($40k-$50k) enter upto 75%
next quarter of window down($30k-$40k) enter upto 100%
