Always stay long on the btc. When it drops, buy more. If it drops even more, buy even more. Don't be afraid of the swings, swings are there to jump more. It's basic physics, if it sways and swings more it will go faster. Faster, faster and even faster! Let's aim for the moon!

Depending on how you mean best. If the best in terms of security then USD is certainly safer and the risks therein are not great. But if your talking about the best in results then crypto or the main choice is bitcoin can be taken.

I think it will be better if you will staying for a longer period of time in BTC, holding bitcoins will help you to raise more  money than USD which is a great advantage and most convenient way to earn money.

Do not sell your bitcoins as long as you already have it, the thing is that no matter how low the prices go, you can always be sure with bitcoin that the prices will end up recovering again. It is better if you have usd that you invest it into buying bitcoins now that the prices are still very low so you can sell when the price goes up

No matter how much BTC costs, it's better to keep it and not sell it. BTC has a great future and he will definitely grow in price.

For situation of crypto market  now is better to stay long with Bitcoin because Bitcoin already in the bottom and my prediction Bitcoin ready to bullish run and all the times high again. There are alot of good news and this is will increasing demand. From technical analysis bearish trend ended and will turn in to bullish.

Staying with the BTC for long time is not bad as I think one must buy more BTC when the price is low, if it repeats you also repeat and as the price rise sold out your purchases, and keep the main hold as it is. This will give you maximum profit on your hold and the coins are remain in your pocket.

It is difficult to say but If I were the trader I will definitely keep holding then look for more money to buy more Bitcoin. This always works for me and it's fun to do! If the price falls again, you look for more money and buy more Bitcoin. If it falls again, you buy more.
Then if price begins to rise, you start  selling off the dips you bought bit by bit until you are left with the main holding which should be your long-term holding.

If i get you right, you mean you always introduce more fiat to buy more dips and sell off when it rises to cash out your fiat while the initial purchase which is the main holding will be the one to hold for long term???
It makes sense to some extent as it is possible one can re-coup the initial investment via that means.
stay long with Bitcoin I think is much better and profitable because Bitcoin is a coin that has the ability to continue to grow and have an increased price.
so it will be very profitable for the future. so I suggest choosing stay long with Bitcoin.

I prefer to stay long with bitcoin because with the long survival in bitcoin would be good and could be back to a stable and profitable price, and I do not like Bear market because it affects the crypto market and is still up and down

Each person's idea is different, some people think that holding BTC is better, but I think in a bear market when holding USDT is best, because the market downturn BTC when prices are falling, like today, so our hands with more money can buy at any time.
If you have ever witnessed. Only after a sleep and you have to spend 2-3k more to buy back bitcoin. I'm sure you would not think so. Moving and changing the trend of bitcoin is always faster and can happen at any time. You have the versatility that it is never a safe and effective method.

In this current bearish markets, some school of thoughts believe it is better to stay long on USDT in order to remain safe while others think it is better to stay long on BTC as one will always have more of USD once the market gains momentum in the bullish season.
Which is better?
As I think, you should choose both, but most should study bitcoin because in the long run, bitcoin is a form of higher interest rates than any coin in the market. Keeping both will bring versatility, many different stages. In investment, diversity and flexibility are very necessary.

Well if you are lucky to stay in USD before the bear market start then you are lucky because you can always buy more btc when it dips so well. But if the bearish caught you then you just have to stay strong and wait for a re-bounce.

I always think that the bear market is actually the most suitable time for investment, because the bear market has come at a very low level for all cryptocurrency prices. It is right to choose to buy at the lowest price, and the advantage of the usdt coin is that its price is very stable. Such a coin is suitable for hedging and is not suitable for investment, so I suggest you can store some BTC or ETH.

I think that it is better to hold on to Bitcoins or Altcoins especially in this bearish season. Because, once it recovers from the dumps, you will gain a huge amount of USD. However, if you do not want to risk your money in investing to crypto, then better not. But for me personally, I would go with the Bitcoins instead of USD. Buy at lows and sell at highs. That's the ideal strategy.

If you want to go long then its definitely better to put your money in bitcoin but I prefer to hold usd so if I find a good trading opportunity then I can buy it right away. I also don't have the patience to hold coin for a long time as 3 to 5 months is the longest I can wait for some coin before I sell it and move onto the next one that I think has more potential.

Its is better to stay long in bitcoin if you want to maximize profit. Still you must consider when to go in or out of bitcoin, always remember to only go in when the market is down and sell when the market is up.

Staying in a usd is a good choice mate if you are playing safe with your funds. While staying in bitcoin helps as to hold and wait whether prices will go down or up. Just a matter of small gambling on it. As we seen that its volatile, we can say that we gonna gain some profit or opposite
I think holding our money in BTC is profitable for a long time, Now already the price went to bottom i don't think this will go below $5k so if we hold our coins in BTC after few months defiantly we can make a good profit. Altcoins are not safe but BTC is safe.

Every person will have the different opinion about it, it depends on how their point of view.
IMHO, from myself, I will prefer to invest my money in BTC and other trusted and promising cryptos. This is the era of investment. So, if we can make it as a valuable thing, why not? I know that the risks are very high to invest our money in crypto, but we can also bet the high profits with certain smart strategies and luck. However, of course, we must also have savings in our bank for cash.
yes that's the least action with could take and maybe it is one of the most reliable move to make. so in short, you should diversify your portfolio, it is easy to say but hard to do. let's just say divide your funds according to your needs and for investment, along with your savings and emergency funds.

It is always advisable to have Tether at all times to buy more during dips. If you're already in a significant loss as most people are during this bearish season, it is not advisable to hedge in Tether. Going long on Tether is always advised on when the Bull run is at its peak and there are traces of retrace men on the chart.

The bear market is where people who invested what is already written off in their book usually thrive. No need to think whether to sell or hold. Instead we use the time to find ways to raise funds to buy more.
yeah, just everyone thinking, it is better to make more money and buy  more bitcoins when we have time to buy more bitcoin.I mean if the bitcoin are begin to rise we know tht it is difficult to invest because the bitcoin is so expensive when it start to rise. so stay only in holding because it is for your future, also you need to take the risk because if you're afraid to invest more bitcoin you not make high profit

Yes if we have spare money then we can buy more bitcoin in the deep so this is very big advantage for trader or investor who have more capital to buy back.
But the problem is for small trader who dont have much capital, for me its better to save in fiat in bearish market.

Yes, market is Volatile and this apply to both Bitcoin and USD. anything can happened at any given time, but i am more optimistic that once the Bitcoin resistance break, the price value of Bitcoin will goes up to a more comfortable level.

Bitcoin profit of decreasing and increasing is like a game on the court. The shifting of momentum from one side to other because there are just two sides on the game. Once you lost your bitcoin you lose your usd because you cannot own bitcoin without money. Money gives measurement of value. If we wait for another momentum of bullish then our patienCe should be longer enough.

I think it is better to keep holding your bitcoin or even buy more now that the price is low so you can sell and make more profit when the market recovers because when it recovers, the price of coin will rise and bitcoin has the potential to rise higher than other coin.
We have two options we can hold Bitcoins this is the safest option because the bitcoin price will definitely grow in next 6 months. another option is you can convert it into altcoins it is risky but more profitable if your altcoins price increases. Once the Bitcoin price start to increase altcoins price also increase but altcoins price quickly increases 100% in this bearish market also some altcoins fluctuating 30-40% if the market turns full green then double profit is confirmed this is my opinion.

Let's face it, bear market in the crypto world is just part of the market cycle and not all the time crypto's are performing always on bear trend. There will be time for the bullish market to take over after the bear market so I think that you should hold your btc and buy more during the bear season. Keep holding your btc's for a longer period for you will be surely gaining sufficient profit if you practice long term investment.

Holding BTC will be a more safe option because no matter what, BTC price will go high in an event if there is a dip in a market, but cannot be sure of other coin holdings. But if you want to avoid price fluctuations & want to invest in other coins & want to track those investments in USD then you can convert your BTC in USDT so in case the market goes down your holdings in USDT won't get affected much of it.

I guess it depends on your on how fast you trade the btc or how patient you are to hold. When it drops, buy more. There is a tread line you can follow. If it drops even more, buy even more. Don't be afraid of the swings. Sometimes the problem of impatience is CASH.

No such thing as staying long on USD when the bearish market occur, instead, you are going to buy BTC with that USD and will ended up being bitcoin bagholder aswell. So basically, holding BTC, you need patience and wait until the market turns bullish and finally you can sell it,
holding USD you will need to buy BTC in order to make profit, also what's the point of holding USD tho? if you want to make decent profit.

I must say that if you are able to go for investing in bitcoin and that you are having this much of the patience that you can hold it for longer time, then there can be no other better way of investing your money as holding of the bitcoin can help you in making of lot more money than any other investment as the market value will keep rising higher, thus will add more money in your account.

It really depends on the person. Most people find their safe haven in USDT when there's a blood bath in the market and some people who really do believe in the technology of bitcoin hodl. We need to take advantage of these huge dips by investing more into bitcoin cos whether we like it or not the next halving is fast approaching and by next year we won't be able to see the same values of bitcoin.

Now bitcoin has not yet risen so high in price to be afraid that it can depreciate for any reason. Therefore, I do not think that it is necessary to withdraw funds from bitcoin during its fall or stagnation. This is an extra waste of money for wasted movement. So far, I think, we need to keep our funds in bitcoin and expect its further price growth.

staying long inside USDT is never a good idea. you should always treat this altcoin with extreme caution.

as for bitcoin price and anything else, if you can't speculate the market it is awlays best to stay out which means going back to fiat or USD if you want and then jump back in whenever you felt like the bear market is over.

Being an hodler in this scenario may be better instead of day trading.

By the development of technologies, the more people joining the cryptocurrency revolution, the more Bitcoin value will appreciate, which gave it retains its current dominance. However, I am sure that it will be the good for holding rather than keeping USD, especially, holding long term, thus, I bet it will bring you some decent return in the near future.

I think having a separate portfolio for holding and another separate portfolio for day trading will be a good idea.
One can then decide to stay long on either BTC or USD with the day trading portfolio.

The Fed is starting to signal raising interest rates again, i.e. reducing the money supply. Therefore the USD will increase in value against the BTC. Once the rate hikes end, then would be the time to switch over. How the market and economy respond to the rate hikes/cuts is a factor as well.

In this current bearish markets, some school of thoughts believe it is better to stay long on USDT in order to remain safe while others think it is better to stay long on BTC as one will always have more of USD once the market gains momentum in the bullish season.
Which is better?

For me it's better to choose both.
USDT while holding your bitcoin, and if the price are down, buy bitcoin and if it's drop again buy more. As a trader I want to gain more profits and if will rising it's a huge profits.

It is better to choose in USDT when you are experiencing a bearish market in order to save some of your grown profit. When you hold btc, your value keeps on going down in bear market, and you dont have a choice than to hold your coin on it , if you dont prefer to transfer it to USDT. In USDT case, when the bearish price keeps going down, you should buy btc at that time in order to hold more btc's in a smaller price.

Stay in USDT if you have sold a lot of your portfolios at peak. you must try to consider about USDT can secure your profit and give you a chance to buy them all again at the bottom. The best thing is stay in the USDT at bearish trend and then buy bitcoin or convert all of your USDT to the bitcoin when it has reached the bottom.

There is also some philosophical element to these debates. Is it theoretically possible that Bitcoin can be reduced to less than 1000 USD with extreme pressure by the states and banks ? Yes;

however, such an eventuality would probably lead to such a chaotic and hostile state of affairs that World War 3 might even erupt from the awakening of the masses. So for all practical purposes, it's safe to bet long on the future of Crypto Currencies (in the alternative scenario fiat won't help you either anyways)...

Always stay long on the btc. When it drops, buy more. If it drops even more, buy even more. Don't be afraid of the swings, swings are there to jump more. It's basic physics, if it sways and swings more it will go faster. Faster, faster and even faster! Let's aim for the moon!

If one knew when is the bear market starting, than it would be best to sell it before it start and buy again when is the lowest point. But because no one knew for sure, fr me is best to keep it in Bitcoin.

It depends on your risk appetite. The two strategy seems fins strategy to me, it really depends on the trader. Some has stronger hands than others and willing to withstand the bear market just by holding.

You're not seeing the big picture. Do some technical analysis on the monthly, weekly, or daily charts and you'll see we're lined up for a HUGE move going long. Long time period charts are very reliable and it seems as though we are seeing a very clear pattern reemerge. You can run and hide when you see red if you want, but the big boys are about to play.

Hold your bitcoins no matter how much the prices drop. The fact that we are in a bear market right now does not mean that there won't be another bull. It will just take a while which is why all investors are advised to be patient and if you know that you cannot be patient to wait for a long time then this market is not for you.

Which means either you ride with the market swings or get out if you cannot withstand the swings.

I think that now it's best to deal with marginal trades and to catch profits on the moves both up and down.

It is difficult to say but If I were the trader I will definitely keep holding then look for more money to buy more Bitcoin. This always works for me and it's fun to do! If the price falls again, you look for more money and buy more Bitcoin. If it falls again, you buy more.
Then if price begins to rise, you start  selling off the dips you bought bit by bit until you are left with the main holding which should be your long-term holding.

If i get you right, you mean you always introduce more fiat to buy more dips and sell off when it rises to cash out your fiat while the initial purchase which is the main holding will be the one to hold for long term???
It makes sense to some extent as it is possible one can re-coup the initial investment via that means.
