I think that in the nearest future the time of bear market will end. All short positions will be closed and we will continue growing. As for me, I always invest on long term, it makes bigger profit than fast trades.
What about lets do not support and cut the support totally to those coins that aren't performing good in the market? Seems like volume would be exclusively for bitcoin, eth, XRP and coins that are known in the market. I just think about that, might help the market grow in capitalization further.
