Whether you are a day trader or you trade once in a while, you have to align yourself with the smart money, not the dumb money, surf along side the whales,not against them, trading is war and you have to choose your battles correctly
as a trader I took full advantage of these two moments, bought lots of coins when there was a bear market and sold them when it became a bull market.it will be very profitable
This is the basic principle of trading, "buy low sell high". And the only consequences is that you need to wait and hold and sell it on the right time. Might takes months and years on your end though, but at least you are not pressured or whatever to do daily trading and as long as you invest what you can afford then it's a sure fired strategy for long term.
