Thank you all for your input, but I still can't fathom how bear markets can provide opportunities with less risk. For now, I will keep monitoring my portfolio (for some reason it just doesn't feel right) while finding good projects and start learning how day trading works. Thanks, again!

If you understand the long term potential, then you can fathom how it provides opportunities when it comes to buying at low price. Sure, the risks are there unless we want to lie to ourselves and being a new market, it is pretty volatile and shit can still go crazily awful.

However, the thing you really need to be considering is the fact that despite all these, will you like to see yourself taking a risk on the market with potential and getting the best of it, or at least knowing you tried, than not doing that at all? I have always had this notion right from time, buy when everyone is fearful, you cannot miss it that way.

You need to learn to understand fear and use it as a guiding emotions, like with all emotions there is no such thing as a bad one. Negative emotions are there to communicate certain things to you. In the case of fear it's that your money is not completely safe and there is some risk involved, knowing that your fear can be channeled in to the pursuit of knowledge and understanding to better mitigate the risk at hand.
