Those who truly understand market principles all know one truth — a bear market is when you should be making your move.

Most people choose to wait and even escape when the market declines, but true winners never do that. They understand that every correction is an opportunity, and every dip is a window to reposition. Those who persevere will ultimately reap rewards; those who give up can only watch others celebrate.

This is not just motivational talk, but a proven rule repeatedly validated in the crypto market. Whether it’s Bitcoin or other tokens, among participants in every bull market, those who actually make money are often those who persisted, positioned, and learned during the previous bear market. Volatility is not risk; giving up is.

That's right, a bear market is the true test, revealing who the real hodlers are.

People still adding to their positions during the bear market are the happiest now. Basically, it's a contest to see who can endure hunger.

I've heard the same story about bottoming out in a bear market too many times. How many truly stick to it? --- It's easy to talk about, but hard to do. If you don't have money, you can't plan your moves. --- Not everyone can withstand the psychological toll of losses. Knowing the truth doesn't mean you can actually do it. --- This time I really have no money left for the dip, so I can only watch helplessly. --- Do those who persist finally make money? Then why am I still losing... Maybe I'm just not cut out for it. --- Every bear market, I hear this kind of talk, then keep losing. Maybe I'm just not that kind of person. --- Repeatedly verifying Bitcoin? Why do I always feel like I'm operating in reverse? --- Honestly, it's just gambling—betting that I can hold out until the bull market arrives. --- I believe, but I always react a second too late. By the time I respond, the market has already rallied. --- Volatility isn't the risk; my mental breakdown is.

It sounds good, but how many people truly dare to spend money in a bear market? --- Bear market positioning sounds simple, but when you have no money, even the bravest heart is useless. --- Every round is the same story, every round is a cut of the leeks, I don't believe in your golden rule. --- The key is to survive until the next bull market; if you can't endure, everything is pointless. --- Others persist because they are already wealthy; for retail investors like us, persistence is a gamble with our lives. --- Giving up is indeed risky, but if you have no money to hold on, it's basically seeking death. --- Volatility is not risk; lack of cash flow is the real death sentence. --- You're right, the cost of execution is too high for retail investors. --- Real winners are already financially free; why would they need this kind of encouragement? --- All the purchases in a bear market are "tuition fees"; don't fool yourself into thinking that's investing.

Those who bottomed out in the bear market are truly daring to gamble; others are only fit to watch.

Basically, it's a mindset issue; those who cut their losses in a bear market will never make money. --- Are you still talking about this? I've seen too many people verbally agree but actually panic and buy the dip. --- Indeed, I hide in the shadows during every sharp decline, waiting for the bull market to come so I can double my gains. --- Sounds good, but it's really hard to stick with; mental resilience is very important. --- People still going all-in during a bear market are not winners, they're gamblers, unable to distinguish risk management. --- I'm the kind of person who watches others celebrate, 😤, next time in a bear market I must hold on. --- This is true but not entirely; it also depends on what coins you choose. Junk coins, no matter how cheap, are a waste. --- Without sufficient capital, it's hard to buy the dip. It's easy to say, but in practice, you need some funds to do it.
