1. Not all your so called "gems" are actually gems, wait for bear market and see how they perform because many of them will die off due to lack to good volume and liquidity.
That is the reason why I'm only investing on the top coins right now. Bear market is the time where these "gems" for different investors are being tested. They will be tested if they can survive with the bear market or they will be just like other projects that will become dead or abandoned.
2. Bear market is like a punisher, it comes with full force and punish all shitcoins that are pretending to be good for investors.
Like I said in the first one, bear market is the time where projects will be tested if they can survive or not. If they will survive then congratulations for them because they are successful but if they can't then there is nothing we can do about it. Most low marketcap coins and shitcoins and maybe lets add those memecoins out there will disappear especially now that the bear market has started already.
3. Even top altcoins will struggle to survive.
I've seen this already during the 2018 "year of hell" and the 2020 "Pandemic Crash". After this, we might see new altcoins at the top and those below might go even higher. Just see Litecoin, XLM, IOTA, and EOS. In the past they are at the top 20 and Litecoin is in the top 5 but now they aren't there anymore.
4. Crypto and BTC will be named SCAM once again.
I don't think so with this. Some crypto tokens might turn out to be a scam or a rug pull but Bitcoin right now will not be labeled as a scam anymore. Those who will see Bitcoin as a scam are those ignorant and newbie investors who doesn't know anything about Bitcoin.
5. There will be more selling pressure than buying and most people wouldn't want to HOLD.
Investors who are panicking right now will surely sell their holdings at a loss but intelligent investors will do the opposite and they will but since they see bear market as an opportunity for them to accumulate more.
6. Launchpads? They will get uglier lol, because once a sell is over the dump will be more massive than those happening in a bull market, Launchpads always suffer a lot.
I will not expect Launchpads right now in the bear market. No one will invest into these new projects because investors right now are at a loss and they will not invest again into new projects in a bear market.
7. BTC will be seen as the most safest place to be, which it is actually.
It is and it has been. Every time time like this happens, I often buy only Bitcoin because it has proved that it is the safest crypto hold right now. More safer than stablecoins out there

8. Many new projects will have a hard time raising enough money to develop their projects
Like I said, no or less new projects will be successful in a bear market and if they will become successful they will not last long because they might not survive in the harsh market that we are in right now. I think as a developer, it would be better if they will just remain patient and wait for the market to recover before they will make new project.
