Maybe the bear market is a blessing, not a curse, if we play the long game?

YOLO

  • As in you only live once... is the popular mantra for many US Marines I use to see at work.
  • They are the proverbial Tip of the Spear of the US Military and large numbers of causaulties or deaths are expected when they are inserted somewhere to bring down the heavy hand of the US Government.
  • But what of others who are not so uniquely employed?
  • Many investors act as if they may not be here in a year or ten years, as life isn't guaranteed.
  • Thus short life framework fueled their somewhat risky investment behavior and goal of getting rich quick.

Perhaps what they should be thinking is that death isn't guaranteed, life seems to be the more likely outcome.

  • Statistically speaking, most of the young, middle aged and older middle aged people who are alive today will in fact be alive next year, in five years, and ten years...
  • It would appear that while life isn't guaranteed, death isn't either, and statistical data suggests life is much more likely.
  • Hmmm..so perhaps Yolo-ing through life isn't wise.
  • Which brings us back to investing...

Perhaps we should have a more longterm outlook.

  • Perhaps this outlook will also make us happy that many good project tokens are on sale, and the bear market maybe is our friend, not our enemy.
  • Perhaps the bear market is like a time machine turning back prices to the level that we can all afford.
  • Perhaps we now have the chance to buy our favorite projects at the prices we previously wished for, when our favorites were at their all time highs.
  • And perhaps we should see this market as possibly a blessing, not a curse.
  • Now we can get Ethereum for less then a thousand dollars, Bitcoin for possible 19,000,and Hive and Leo for much less then a dollar.
  • So as we enter this bear market perhaps we should focus on buying into good projects which we expect to not only survive the bear market, but to thrive in the longterm.

This is really motivating and this is what I said, If we can not survive bear market we do not deserve bull one.

LOL
I think it really takes a bear market for us to appreciate the bull market.

Yes you are right about this

I am glad you agree.
Now the challenge is learn how to appreciate the bear market, so our bull market brings us prosperity and financial independence.

Well said. They say that cash is king in a recession, so if you jave it, buy all the things at a discount! All the good things that is ( projects that have proven to be strong in bwsr markets.

Yoloing is rea, and so is Fomo... in the long game what matters most is keeping our heads straight.

Thanks for the inspiring post!

Yes, it's always wise to keep some cash on the side. or better yet organize your finances so that you always have a little investment income each payday...

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yes, I think that's the way to do it. Put a little aside every time, to invest.

Opportunities come around in down turns, so yes great idea!

Yep... lower prices of good project tokens are the bear blessings.

I've actully been working 3x as hard right now to accumulate as much as possible to get ready for the next bull run!

The best strategy anyone could possibly have now.

I definitely have become more motivated to produce more and execute on ideas.

I'm play the long game with free bitcoins maybe I could retire early from bitcoin. I'm getting it given to me right now for just being online . I'm just going to promote their stuff on Twitter and get people for free for just retwitting there stuff

100% true...
During this downtrend we can only control our reaction, and reacting positively is rarely regreted.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yes, yoloing through life is quite a terrible strategy as death isn't guaranteed like isn't too.

It's is fascinating how we spread FUD when our wishes give true. Some of us may have , at some point in our journey in the market, wished for the prices to drop, so we could buy. But when that times, everybody skeptical.

Posted using LeoFinance Mobile

Kind of like how people used to joke about Mondays and how they wished they were "cancelled."

Then covid hit and we were in a perpetual lazy Sunday and people were hating it.

We gotta be careful what we ask for.

Exactly, it's easy to listen to FUD and most Media spreads FUD. I think FUD sells.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It sure does.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Maybe I'm a fool and crypto will never recover and I'll lose all my money. I fully intend to keep ignoring the constant buzz of fud coming from everywhere though. I've been anticipating my first bear market with genuine excitement though, I will use this time to accumulate with more determination and stubbornness than ever. !PIZZA

Posted using LeoFinance Mobile

Many people thought crypto wouldn't recover during the last bear market, and for some projects they were right. But for those with active development, active communities and utility, they reached all time highs during the ;ast bull market.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Thank you for this perspective.

I was starting to feel sad because I am getting close to 5000 LEO and now it is such a sad USD amount, hardly worth bragging about.

Well, now is a good time to have twice as much leo, because, well, its so cheap!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

You will feel better in 6 months to a year, which I think will pass by quickly, because thats what time does...

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

The important thing here's that it's a "maybe" indeed. If it goes bull tomorrow, it'll turn into a blessing for anyone who bought yesterday, and a hell for anyone who sold. Educating oneself, one can control time and compose for most profitable outcome.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I agree that selling one's holdings in a bear market is tricky, and can frequently be regreted.

Absloutely a long term bro here!

It's juts like you said, this is the real opportunity and we need to make real decision. Glad to read this article.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Thank you.
Find the projects you think will survive and do well, then decide if you want to invest in them for the longterm.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

That's a good mentality to have. Life isn't guaranteed but neither is death too. You might as well plan for the long term because statistically your chance of living are higher than your chance of dying.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Exactly! It's best to plan for life.

The bear market is the best thing to happen because it's reality. This has to come to an end we've been kicking the can down the road on this economy for far too long. Now the cleansing is here the judgment for you all peacocking around wasting energy.. not caring for your fellow man, living in greed and decadence.. not making the world a better place. Destroying your environment

Scamming people, backing crap projects, lying to people with hopium.. taking from people their life savings and saying the markets will return, ignoring the righteous. Now judgment is here. Crypto armageddon and you all will atone.

When it's over a new golden age will usher in but it won't be with your crap projects. .They will all be buried beneath the sea. Justice is almost here it just has to remove you all and it will. May you all burn in crypto hell so a new way forward can usher through. let it be done. you have ignored the righteous and now you will fall

not those crypto projects.. us.. not them me.. not them me.. not them me.. not them me

and if the bear market doesn't finish you all shortsegments... i plan to finish you all @acidyo @bearbear613

haha crypto has a certain religiosity to it doesn't it?
