5 Tips for "Surviving" in a Bear Market Learned Under Duress #数字资产市场洞察

The biggest gain in the past few months, rather than how much I've earned, is that I've finally learned how to minimize losses. The market is the harshest teacher. Here are some insights that are currently being validated:

🔴 Don't step into the liquidity pit
NFTs, low-cap coins, unknown new projects - these things may seem like opportunities, but in reality, you are just taking the bait. Poor liquidity means you can get in, but can't get out, and ultimately you can only become someone else's liquidity provider.

🔴 The information source should be very simple.
Macroeconomic judgment and trading strategies, I only follow a few truly reliable people. Too many voices equal no voice; in an era of information explosion, one must learn to "mute."

🔴 "Doing nothing" is the hardest lesson.
Learn to stay out of the market, learn to watch the show, learn to endure. Don't treat spare money as a daily task to operate. Opportunities are not that scarce; what is scarce is that you still have capital to buy the dip.

🔴 Ask yourself every day why.
Why build a position? Why increase the position? Prejudice and overconfidence are the food for the scythe that cuts the leeks. Maintaining a reverence for the market will prevent you from being harvested by your own arrogance.

🔴 The place to make money is outside the market, the place to keep money is inside the market.
Work, accumulate, and continuously expand the capital pool is the long-term game. But don't over-exert yourself—an emotional breakdown is scarier than losing money; a protracted battle requires a stable mindset for support.

---

The Bear Market is actually a golden window for honing your trading system. When the Bull Market arrives, the most valuable resources to invest in are not a specific cryptocurrency, but rather your breadth of understanding, execution discipline, and the ability to remain unshackled by market emotions. Those builders who are doing real work and accumulating genuine influence find that their "slowness" becomes the rarest quality amidst the noise of speculation.

There's something there, especially that phrase "doing nothing"—it sounds simple but is actually the most tormenting. I just couldn't resist operating every day, and as a result, I lost my principal.

Really, that point about Liquidity hit home. I got burned on a certain shitcoin last year, and now I’m scared of any small coin.

I have really been suffocated by the Short Position for the past six months, but after reading this article, I suddenly feel a bit relieved... To be honest, I have really suffered losses in terms of Liquidity, being trapped in a bunch of junk coins. Now I can reflexively run away when I see small coins.

Short Position is the hardest, understanding comes too late --- I really won't touch coins with poor liquidity this time, I haven't forgotten the last lesson --- You're right, the more information there is, the more confused the mind becomes, it's better to look less --- A Bear Market is really about honing internal skills, it's just a matter of who can last longer --- The problem is that most people can't endure, they can't even wait to buy the dip before it's too late --- Protecting the principal is really a hundred times harder than making money --- This is the real talk, much more reliable than those who advocate getting rich quickly

You are right, but I've been through it all. During the wave in 2018, how many people fell into the liquidity trap, and to this day, they are still trapped in some unknown small coins. Stop messing around; a Short Position is the biggest profit. That's what I'm doing now. This sounds nice, but very few can really hold on. Most people will still be cut by FOMO. It's true that making money off-exchange is spot on, but look at how many are still crazily chasing new coins now. Human nature is just that greedy. What I'm most afraid of is that kind of overly confident leverage; I've seen too many of those in 2017, a Plummet can directly lead to getting liquidated. I've jumped into this liquidity trap twice, only on the third time did I truly understand. Now I only watch Bitcoin and Ethereum; everything else is just photo manipulation. It's indeed hard to stay quiet, but the more information you have, the easier it is to make wrong decisions. Now I only check the market once a day, and my quality of life is actually higher.
