The most painful thing in a bear market isn’t the first cut. When the first cut hits, you can still comfort yourself: it’s just a shakeout. When the second cut comes, you start questioning your entire existence. Your portfolio isn’t wiped out yet, but your confidence is already gone. Let’s be real, the real killer isn’t how much $BTC has dropped, it’s that pile of ‘next time for sure’ altcoins in your hands. The main market drops 50% and can recover, but trash coins dropping 90%? That’s just a memory. Stop dreaming about catching the absolute bottom. You’re not a god. When prices drop enough, start picking up some core assets in batches. A 20-30% rebound is enough to fix your mindset. A bear market isn’t about who talks the toughest, it’s about who can survive and hold on. The market will reverse, but the premise is, you’re still in the game.
